Into the Woods (fantasy musical movie)
My thoughts about watching the movie Into the Woods were conflicting because on one hand, I had read a lot of unsatisfactory reviews about it online, while on the other hand the trailer as well as some critics reviews, made the movie seem fairly interesting to me. After watching it …
Journey to the Center of the Earth
I went to see this movie with my mom as kind of a mom/son date before leaving for school. I had never really been to a 3d movie so I thought it would be a neat one to try even if it was a coined a “kids movie”. We …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin and the chipmunks was the cutest movie for the whole family to see. If your looking for a really good family movie this is it. It has a great plot and very useful meaning. It was very amusing and had situations that even smaller kids could understand. It …
Jackass 3 Unrated, Blu-ray Comedy film
For the third part in the Jackass movie series, Johnny Knoxville and his crew are ready to be stupid in 3D. Ah yes, 3D, the current crazy that doesn’t seem to be dying anytime soon. But that is fine with me because 3D gave us a new Jackass movie …
Boogie Nights the movie
This has to be one of the worst movies in history and I am not a fan of boogie nights at all and never have been and never will be and this movie was just a disaster right from the beginning all the way to the end. Seriously mark …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie will always be in my heart. A special one, that is. It starts off with Robin Williams, being separated from his wife and they have children together.

Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …

Galaxy Quest
Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …
Son of the Mask (Movie 2005)
Just when you thought that it was safe to back into the water, dun dun…dun dun…dun dun…the had to go ahead and spoil a perectly good original movie with the crappy “Son of the Mask”. Tell me, why did they feel the need to create a sequel, was it …
Traitor, spy thriller film
Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) sells weapons to terrorists. When a sale in Yemin goes …
Music and Lyrics (2007)
There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …
Robinson Crusoe movie
This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …

Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …

Paranormal Activity (Movie)
Although this movie was found to be corny and unhorrifyingly unsuspenseful by some members of my family, I found this too scary and I was really scared watching this movie. This movie had come out in 2007 but it was only shown last year in our country and I …
The Painted Veil
I am absolute biased in writing this review because in adore Edward Norton’s work, give it that he may interpret the worst of criminals or the best of lovers. I find that Norton has got a lot of passion in his work and really tries to give his best …

Mamma Mia!
A few months ago, my wife went to the movie theater to see the movie Mamma Mia! She came back telling me it was the best film ever. So, last night, I sat down to watch it with her on DVD.
She exaggerated. It was good, but it was far …

Tokyo Majin Episode 2 shows how Tatsuma Hiyuu transferred to Magami High School and met Kyouichi Horaiji, Aoi Misato, Komaki Sakurai and Yuuya Daigo. It’s basically an origins episode that shows how they were first attacked by the undead.
Because of the very confusing first episode, I didn’t know …
Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …

Heat, movie
“Heat,” the first film to feature Robert Di Niro and Al Pacino on the same screen together in a scene was filled with action, suspense, a great caste and a story line that will resonate with anyone looking for a remarkable piece of filmmaking. It’s not enough that two …
What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Sunshine Cleaning
I love the movie poster of Sunshine Cleaning. It is I believe the pictures of Emily Blunt and Amy Adams, with their cleaning utensils. Watched this with my girl mates and 5 of us went. 3 of us decided that the movie was quite a boring watch …

After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …
Sunshine Cleaning movie
As much as I love Indie movies I rarely check them out in theaters. I tend to wait for them to be released on DVD in case it turns out to be really bad. I’ve heard of Sunshine Cleaning from friends and when it first came out on DVD …
“All the King’s Men” The other one (1999)
This “All the King’s Men” is not the one based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer winning novel. It is not a novel about politics in Louisiana. It is a movie about, well, all the king’s men. In this version there really is a king, King George V and the …
Dead Like Me: Ghost Story
One of the things I like the best about Dead Like Me: Ghost Story is the couple who wants to buy the Lass house. I really like them, especially the husband. He seems to have a unique ability to talk to Reggie, who opens up to him …
Sixteen Candles
What is interesting about teen movies is the fact that every time period is associated to a film. Now a days is “High School Musical” period, but in the 80’s they had “Sixteen Candles” which was a smashing hit at the time.
This movie definitely marked the beginning of …
Underworld: Awakening Movie (aka Underworld 4) (2012)
I watched the new Underworld: Awakening(Underworld 4) movie in 3D, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. I’ve watched the entire series and loved them all, except for the third one, which I found to be quite boring and unnecessary to the story line. I …
Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …
Barefoot in the Park movie

Happy Feet movie
I did not see the movie Happy Feet in the theatre, but my daughter recently received it for her birthday. My kids, ages 7 and 8, enjoyed it but it did not hold their attention and I doubt they will be wanting to watch it a second time. …
Movie: “Bolt”
Armed with a unique plot, beautifully colorful animation, and endearing characters, “Bolt” was an absolute delight. I enjoyed every adorable minute of it.
Bolt, voiced by John Travolta, is the star of a TV show where he plays a dog with super powers. The catch: Bolt doesn’t KNOW it’s all …
High School Musical 2 movie
With the enormous success of High School Musical, Disney quickly made a sequel called appropriately enough High School Musical 2. Not messing with success, it’s basically the same cast, led by teen almost-sensations, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The movie starts as summer break is about to …
Movie Joe Dirt (2001)
Ever since David Spade joined the crew of Saturday Night Live in 1990, he has been one of my favorite comedians of all time. I watched him go from Saturday Night Live to Just Shoot Me, all the while doing projects on the big screen as well. When the …
