National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …
Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …

Movie: Baby Mama

Zoolander
Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.
However, do not take too serious note of the political issues …
Bridge of Spies-2015, Biography, Drama Movie
Bridge of Spies is a notable biography directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Matt Charman, Ethan Coen and Joel Coen. I had the choice between Martian and Bridge Of Spies, and I went to watch Bridge of Spies not on the grounds that Martian is an awful movie, but …
Batman v Superman Movie (spoilers)
I Just got back from Dawn of Justice and a lot of controversy has happened with reviews so I thought I’d give mine. I’m just a normal guy who is neither a DC or Marvel fanboy, I like comics.
So this movie is directed at people who read comics. Alot …

In my opinion this is the best comedy drama of recent years, many of you have already known the story plot it’s about a guy Michael Newman an architect (played by Adam Sandler) who come into posession of a remote control that can magically move life back and forth …
Rowan Atkinson
I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …
A Dog’s Tale movie
Last night I saw this movie ‘A Dog’s Tale’ on television. It’s kind of family movie that tells about a kid become a dog because he’s wrong wish.
Tim the main actor in here is a loser boy who always underestimated by his big big friendss, he always being played …

Memoirs of a Geisha Movie
Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …
Solitary Man starring Michael Douglas
I have always loved the work of Michael Douglas, so when I was given a copy of Solitary Man, I could not wait to sit down to watch it. The movie stars Michael Douglas, along with Dany Devito, and Susan Sarandon.
Michael Douglas plays a man in …
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …

The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …
Pollyanna Movie
Pollyanna is a classic, a Disney, feel-good movie with a message to think positively no matter how hopeless life may get. Make lemonade from the lemons is essentially what Pollyanna is about.
Hayley Mills stars as the adorable Pollyanna who is sent to live with her Aunt Polly after …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
The Sentinel (2006) movie
My dad got a dvd two pack and this is one of the movies in the pack so I decided I would watch it since I missed it in theaters and the plot seemed pretty appealing to me.
Pretty simple plot to go with. There is a bug within …
To Be or Not to Be movie
A film about a crew of actors in Poland during the outbreak of World War II and the german occupation. The film is all american production with actors like Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft, and that takes away a lot of the credibility to be honest. If they were …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …
Cow Belles
If you’re looking for a good movie that gives you a plot that’s a little different than the other movies you’ve seen then Disney’s movie “Cow Belles” is one you’ll want to avoid.
After finally getting to see the entire film, I can say it is good. But, it’s nothing …
Netflix
I’ve taken the time to review Netflix before and still remain as big of a fan of the company as I was months ago.

Crimson Tide
Normally I don’t like war movies. They are OK, but they usually focus on blood and guts and really don’t have a whole lot in terms of actual plot. Either that, or they focus on a real historical event and I find myself having a hard time enjoying the …

This is one of the best colossal movie about the history of Greece. Yroy is very wellknown story until it made a movie by Wolfgang Petersen.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
Resident Evil 4: Afterlife
Resident Evil 4: Afterlife was a very wonderful surprise for a lover of the video series like myself. The movie promised to be better then Extinction, but I didn’t believe that. I thought it would be another long, drawn out movie …
Mr. Brooks
I actually was so scared when I watch this movie. It seems like there could be a real story like this out there, and that made me so scared.
This movie is about Mr. Brooks, who is a successful businessman, having a family and a wife. He looks …
Shallow Hal movie
Shallow Hal is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jack Black stars as Hal the shallow guy who only cares about a woman’s body. I gotta say the movie made me laugh. The past where he said tells him to get a woman …

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne),Tom Hardy (Eames),Ken Watanabe(Saito) Dileep Rao (Yusuf) and Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, Jr.). This is by-far the best mind bending movie I have seen in a long time.

Entrapment
“Entrapment” is the movie were the likes of Sir Sean Connery mix up with at the time rising star Catherine Zeta Jones. The result is simply a great movie with drama, action and romance making the most of a great issue at the time the milliannium conversion.
