Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …

Beethoven - The Pooch Pack (DVD 2006)
All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.

Interstellar - Movie (2014)
I had the privilege of seeing Interstellar in theatres yesterday. I had high expectations for the film, given that Christopher Nolan is the director. I was not disappointed, I was actually amazed. Interstellar had a great story and the visuals were a treat. I’m glad I had the chance to …
The Reader
I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …

The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)
Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …
Grease
I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …
Into The Woods - The Movie
Last night when I went to watch “Into the Woods”, I was excited with expectations of watching a splendid musical. Although it includes scenes of great quality, I felt it lacks the strength to be called an exceptional movie. It’s a good musical, but the evolution of the characters …
27 Dresses
I recently rented 27 Dresses from a DVD redbox. I had been excited to see it because it seemed to be fairly well-liked on a bridal message board I visit. Before going into any detail, I must say that this rental was definitely worth the $1 for …

Paranormal Activity
Before we watched this movie, my husband told me that this is a true story and the actors were the real person behind it. I didn’t checked it at that time if it were true. Then we watched the movie and somehow, I felt that some of the scenes …

The Kids Are All Right (2010 Comedy-Drama Film)

Hulk movie
“Hulk” is a 2003 movie about the Incredible Hulk, not to be confused with the far superior ‘re-boot’ called “The Incredible Hulk” released in 2008. The “Hulk” stars Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly, as well as Nick Nolte in a ridiculous role as the main villian.
Pros: This …
The Pajama Game movie
Another really wonderful Doris Day movie is The Pajama Game. She plays Babe, and she’s a dynamic dame in the role, that’s for sure. She works in a factory that makes pajamas. The factory hires a new manager, played by John Raitt. Now there’s a …
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
Marley and Me movie
Marley and Me is a beautiful film showing the relationship between human and pet. I think its based on the novel with the same name. I have not read that novel though but the film is just amazing. It’s a real heart touching one. Owen Wilson and Jennifer …
The Day The Earth Stood Still- The Remake
Yesterday,we have watched the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still. I was looking forward to see this movie when I was still in the Philippines, so when my fiance asked me what movie do I wanna see? I picked The Day The Earth Stood Still. …
Movie Inglourious Basterds
After the underwhelming Kill Bill Vol. 2 and the shockingly poor Deathproof I had begun to think that Quentin Tarantino had forgotten how to make great movies. Where was the revolutionary, wunderkind director who changed the face of modern cinema?
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction seemed to be but memories …
Coyote Ugly movie
Piper Perabo made a big splash in Coyote Ugly back in 2000. The female coyote craze has really grown since then. These are women who both bar-tend and entertain the patrons. They’re gone for getting up atop the bar and singing and dancing, in groups and …
The Holiday movie
The main ingredients of the movie “The Holiday” is a great cast of actresses and a simple, straight forward romantic story. The main topic of this movie is about love the beauty of falling in love and the heart break it brings when we fall out of love. …
Friends With Money Movie
I enjoyed this movie a lot. The concept is unique–what happens when one person in a group of friends is in a drastically different socioeconomic status than the rest of them? The characters were both believable and interesting at the same time. I liked how Jennifer …
The Great Gatsby movie
No offense to F. Scott Fitzgerald, but The Great Gatsby bored me as a book, and it left me cold as a movie, too. I just never got into it. The only reason I went to see the film was because Robert Redford starred as Jay Gatsby. …

Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
American Gangster
Any movie with Denzel Washington as the lead role in it, promises a lot from the onset. As for American Gangster, I really think the whole cast as well as the behind-the-scenes team did an excellent job in every respect of the delivery.
This movie is a hit and everything …

500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
Napoleon Dynamite
I have met people who think Napoleon Dynamite is the most hilarious movie ever and some other people that say it isn’t funny at all. This is a movie that maybe is not possible to catalog either as funny or not funny: it’s really hard to say if it’s …
Serious Moonlight Movie (2009)
Serious Moonlight is a movie that aspired to be so much more than it actually ended up being. It had an amazing cast on board: Justin Long, Kirstin Bell, Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, and they have done a really good job. But the plot, starting the concept level …
Popeye
No matter what the critics say, and they say much, none of which was good, I will always cherish this movie. My hat’s off to the director, the screenwriter, and most importantly the production crew, for turning out a fantastic film that remained true to the comic characters and …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
Zorro,movie
Action-packed and fast-paced. If that’s what you are looking for, you wouldn’t be disapppointed. The movies moves at a breathless pace through a rather convoluted plot about some ancient secret society wanting to destroy the fledging United States of America. The plot hinges on transporting some explosives to the …
Indian Jones The Last crusade
Harrison Ford is a very good actor and he portrayed one of my favorite all time charachters Indiana Jones. I watched Indiana Jones the Last Crusade last night. In this movie Sean Connery played Indiana’s father and as always these movies are fast moving comical and interesting.
In …

A Woman Under the Influence
I saw this movie going on some time ago on a certain channel although I cannot remember exactly which one. I hesitated to watch it at the time too since I realised that the movie was actually a movie from the seventies and I tend not to like most …
Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy
Since I watched their film, Jack and the Beanstalk, I have been wanting to once again watch Abbott and Costello movies. So, I started watching one I haven’t seen before (except for the ending), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
The movie was OK but not as funny as some …
Nothing DVD
Nothing may sound like nothing, but the Nothing DVD is full of everything. It’s a well packaged DVD with a couple of extras to make buying the product worthwhile.
The movie Nothing stars David Hewlett, known best for Stargate Atlantis. It also stars Andrew Miller. The two …
