The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
El Cantante (R, 2007) movie
It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …

Batman Begins Movie
Batman has been a popular icon for almost an decade. I’ve practically seen almost every Batman movie there is. First there was Michael Keaton in the firt one and the sequel and then there was Val Kilmer in the others, and then there is Chirstain Bale in this one. …
American Psycho (2000)
An unknown character and actor at the time to me, Christian Bale makes his grand debut as a wall street trader who is very into himself and also has a very dark fetish for causing people pain, also, he is extremely homophobic. In the beginning, he used to take …

Casino Royale Movie
I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …
Enemy of the State
As far as Will Smith movies go, they are usually some of the better action films out there. One of his first ones, Enemy of the State, falls into this category.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy with an almost universal appeal, simply because it is, at it’s heart, a great movie. The plot isn’t meant to appeal solely to women, or even towards men, as one would expect from a Judd Apatow Production. Instead, it is a movie …

Film “Groundhog Day”
The movie Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time because it has a lot to offer. It is a comedy but it does not relay on silly gags or stunts you have seen in other movies. It does have a handful of gags such …
Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …
Last Days movie
Gus Van Sant is next to Jim Jarmusch probably the most interesting american independent filmmaker from the last 15 to 20 years. Last Days is his film that apparently tells the story of the last days of legendary Nirvana-member Kurt Cobain. The autentic names and songs in the Cobains …
Premonition
I was prepared to really hate this film. I had read reviews. And so many people (including critics) had nothing but weak things to say about this film. I think it’s because Sandra Bullock has never been taken seriously as an actress. Her quirky ways, …
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
From 1969 came The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, another Walt Disney Production that starred Kurt Russell. Much of Russell’s early career was for Disney Studios.

Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Sex and the City the movie
I am the fan from Sex and the city TV serial. I always watch it every season and never nissed it. When it will be making in movie, I’m happy because it’s been four years those serial is ended.

HBO miniseries Band of Brothers

Batman Returns
I got a chance to re-watch the movie Batman Returns last night and have to say, I can now understand why that installment of Batman movies went downhill in a hurry.
The first Batman, starring Michael Keaton, is still one of my favorite movies. This sequel to that movie wasn’t …
Silent Hill movie
I wasn’t sure if I would like Silent Hill after learning it was based on a video game, but, after watching it, I have to admit it was one of the scarier movies to come out in a while.
Radha Mitchell plays Rose, a mother who loses her daughter while …
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Movie
After some time that I have delayed it I finally managed to find time and go watch the beginning of the new epic trilogy by Peter Jackson, this time based on “The Hobbit” - the first book written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Before I move forward , I would like …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …
Conan the Destroyer
When it comes to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Conan the Destroyer is always the first one that comes to mind.
A sequel to Conan the Barbarian, this one is a bit more kid friendly but still has plenty of action and interesting monsters to keep everyone entertained.
In the movie, Conan is …
