Quarantine, movie

When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …
Movie True Lies
I’m not really a huge Arnold Schwartzenegger fan, but I do love his movie True Lies.

Braveheart movie
Being a former history major, I absolutely love movies based in historical times; especially when they are about legendary characters. Braveheart is a movie that has all the qualities I look for in a historical movie. It?s an accurate portrayal of the hero but still takes some liberties with …

Shrek The Third, Chris Miller, Raman Hui Movie
It is the obligation of a son to replace the task father in law as King when King Harold hospital. Not like, Shrek I feel it is not suitable to become King of Far Far And Away. Understandably, although already a member of the kingdom, many prefer to take …

Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds
The movie industry has always been filled with historical fiction from its inception. Fanciful depictions of factual incidents has graced Hollywood screens for the better part of the last century. While Hollywood movies employ their share of historical advisors, movies are out to entertain, not to …
Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead (movie)
I got hooked on the Masters of Horror series of films when I ordered “Jenifer” from Netflix. I was intrigued by the amount of gore and the uncensored approach to many adult topics. This film, however, directed by Tobe Hooper left so much to be …
“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …
Sicario (2015 Crime Thriller Movie)
A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …

War of the Worlds
I will be talking about the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. Now the movie is critically acclaimed to be a somewhat terrible movie. Besides one flaw at the very end of the movie, I thought the movie overall was actually brilliant. …
Howard the Duck-movie
I recently watched a film called Howard the Duck. It is essentially about an alien duck named Howard that accidentally gets pulled down to earth from his home planet duck world which is inhabited by other duck like creatures. Howard eventually encounters a woman, a rock star named Beverly. …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
Movie Plague Town (NR, 2008)
I really tried to like this movie. Usually when a film is made in a foreign country like Ireland, the acting is typically good. But this time, an American family decided to go trekking through Ireland in search of their ancestral roots. First of all, …
300 (movie)
This was definitely a man’s movie. Rocky with a sword times three hundred. It was over the top, overflowing with testosterone both in the battlefield and at home. It reminded me a lot of Gladiator, with just a darker feel to it. The way it was filmed was very …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …

The Old Curiosity Shop, 1995, mini-series, is a good adaptation of the novel by Charles Dickens. Peter Ustinov plays Grandfather, a poor old man who is raising his beloved granddaughter Nell and trying to make her fortune by gambling. Peter Ustinov may be a little too heavy for the …

Scream Dream
The low budget horror film Scream Dream is a very sad attempt to recreate previous successful cinematic shockers. The lighting of the this movie is absolutely terrible, and the acting abilities are worse. You get a very strong impression that the movie was produced with a home video …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
Star Trek III movie

Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. Mothra is a definite improvement over King Kong vs. Godzilla, although it is still not necessarily on my top ten list of favorite Godzilla movies. I find the Godzilla suit to be a definite improvement over the Godzilla suit from the previous suit because this Godzilla looks …

Sapphire Girls
My wife picked up the movie Sapphire Girls the other day because she read the back of it and it sounded like an intriguing drama.
It turned out to be nothing more than a soft core porn film; and not a very good one at that.
The movie, which is about …
A Very Special Love: Special it is

The New Daughter Movie (2009)
I like Kevin Costner, and I like horror and suspense movies as well, so my mother and I watched this on DVD and during the first parts I thought it was scary, but it depends really on a person because I do scare easily! I found the plot to …
Never Been Kissed 1999 movie
Never Been Kissed, with Drew Barrymore, is, in a word, cute. The premise (shy girl gets to go back to high school and try again as part of a newspaper assignment) is fun and resonates with the part of me that knows a lot more than I did when …
Inspector Gadget movie
Inspector gadget is complete gizmo movie with unrealistic and unimaginable twisys and turns. Though the movie is completely unrealistic it has some good performances by Matthew Broderick both as the gadget inspector and evil robot and by Rupert Everett.

Spiderman 3

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
Iron Man 3, Movie
I think that the movie “Iron Man 3″ is spectacular and in a great way ends the trilogy of the character of Iron Man, unless they make a fourth movie. I felt that the story in this movie in a great way continues the events from the second part …
Beowulf (2007)
This movie is not to be confused with another movie by the same name and a similar plot which was released some time in either the late nineteen nineties or the early 2000s. I watched this movie some time either last week or the week before on a cable …
Face of evil
Face of evil is one of my favorite movies that lifetime movie network plays. I had seen it a long time ago but this past weekend they showed it again. I saw it on and got interested in it and watched it again because I had forgotten what happened …
Snatch movie
Im was a huge fan of Lock Stock and Two Smokin barrels and when Snatch was released I was unsure of what to expect.

Ghost World
Watching Ghost World is not quite like watching a chick flick. Although you see American Beauty actress Thora Birch and the sweet and innocent look actress, Scarlett Johansson star. This is kind of an exploration type of movie and I feel that each character in the story has …
