Movies Reviews
King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …
Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …
Ella Enchanted
I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.
Anne plays the character of Ella and this movie is something like Enchanted. In fact, this movie was made first prior to …
Avalon movie
A japanese film that takes place in the future about a mysterious addictive computer game that takes over people’s lives. There are many similarities here to the interesting Battle Royale. For one thing it is focused on teenagers, and secondly it is regarding a popular item as something that …
Shrek Forever (movie)
I totally forgot about this Shrek movie until my brother reminded me about it some time ago. It’s the fourth Shrek film, and even though I didn’t get the idea that it was as popular as the other movies, I thought that it was every bit as fun and …
Rush Hour 2 Movie
This is my favorite rush hour movie amongst all, mainly because it’s more exciting and it features more characters like Zhang Zhiyi and Roselyn Sanchez and this movie is about Carter and Lee vacationing in Hong Kong but has to take a job which includes Alan King and Zhang …
America’s Sweethearts movie
A winsome salute to classic comedies, this movie produced by Columbia Pictures in 2001 brings together an award-winning ensemble to deliver a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of contemporary behind-the-scenes Hollywood.
In the movie, Kiki (played by Julia Roberts), is the personal assistant of the beautiful superstar Gwen (Catherine …
Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
Android Love
I really hate this episode. I am not sure what it is about it that bothers me so much. Perhaps it is just the fact that the humanity of androids is a topic that has been covered to death ten times or more already in the world …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles.
This is the first Super Heroes’ film I have ever seen, that has a focus on a family.
This is very positive, as our children can see and extract from the film, the idea of na united family, solving their problems always joined.
The story runs in Metroville, a place …
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
The 2004 removie of “The Manchurian Candidate” stands out among remakes of movies in that in many ways it is better than the original movie. There are differences between the two, some good, some bad. The removie seems to run longer than the original, and it does, but only …
Movie Assignment Terror (1969)
This was a sequel to Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror that brings back Waldemar the Werewolf and he’s teamed with Dracula, The Mummy, and Frankenstein’s Monster! It seems aliens from the planet Ummo have decided to study the monsters, clone them and release them onto the earth to dominate it as …
Cheeni Kum
I just finished watching Cheeni Kum on TV starring Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu. Amitabh Bachchan is a very good and veteran actor and he is so much awesome in this movie. This is a Bollywood movie, therefore you have to look at the subtitles to follow through.
The movie …
Thelma and Louise
This is definately a movie worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet. It has Susan Surandon in it. It’s about two girls that go off on a trip and one of the girls get rapped along the way. I think it is a wonderful story and the whole …
Children of Men
I am just gonna come right out and say this. This is one of the BEST movies I have ever seen. You can really review this movie on two planes. One, the technical aspect of it, and another, the movie itself. I’ll start with the …
Traitor
The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …
Annie movie
I am reviewing the movie, Annie. I am reviewing the older version of Annie, not the disney one (which was deplorable). Everybody knows the story of Annie, a little orphan who wants nothing more than to see her parents again. She lives in a dreadful orphanage with a …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very hilarious movie that I love watching.
I caught this on DVD moments back and it’s basically about a guy trying to get over his ex-girlfriend but having problems with that when he decides to go on a vacation and sees her there with …
A Chinese Ghost Story Movie
A man comes to a new town and tries to find a place to sleep. The only one he finds is an old temple haunted by demons. He later falls in love with a woman, but finds out she is possessed by powerful spirits, and their love proves to …
Pieces of April
In “Pieces of April” we see the actress, Kate Holmes with an image of a bad girl who has a conflictual relationship with her family. The story of “Pieces of April” is good but unfortunately in certain moments in the middle of the movie it may lose it’s potential …
Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
Twilight Movie
My boyfriend and I went to go see Twilight at the movie theater. I talked him into going with me because all my friends were raving about the book series. I tried reading the book but it couldn’t hold my attention past the third page. So …
Kids in the Hall Season 2 DVD
I remember watching Kids in the Hall when I was growing up. We had a late night television station that ran the episodes in their edited form, and I always loved the show. The show was centered around a group of sketch comedians from Canada, and each had their …
Midnight in Paris (movie)
I had never heard of the movie “Midnight in Paris” until I saw where someone mentioned it in a blog a few weeks ago. The person mentioned that it was a brilliant independent film that all independent film lovers should see, and proceeded to give a description of the …
The Unknown Girl (2016)
The Unknown Girl (French: La Fille inconnue) is a 2016 Belgian-French drama film directed by the Dardenne brothers. Starring Adèle Haenel, Olivier Bonnaud, Jérémie Renier, and Louka Minnella.
I actually think this film is more like a slice-of-life or documentary than drama, because it’s pretty mellow.
The story follows a doctor, Jenny …
Tower Heist Movie (2011)
I went to see Tower Heist last night with my friend, and be both agreed that it was one of the best movies we have seen in a long time. While we expected that a movie featuring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy absolutely has to be good, we never …
Dr. Strangelove (1964 Classic Film)
Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …
The Wiz movie
This might be an old movie, but it is probably one of my absolute faaaavorites of all time! I have watched this movie at LEAST once a year since I was born, probably.
For anyone who does not know what the Wiz is, it is essentially the Wizard …
Ice Age 2
I’ll start out by saying Ice Age 2 is a good family movie and is certainly enjoyable.
However, after watching it this weekend, I felt very unsatisfied.
The first Ice Age was a unique and funny movie. The second one was poorly scripted and didn’t seem to have as much …
Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …
They Call it Murder movie
They Call it Murder, a 1971 TV film, had a nice opening that I rather loved. The opening credits included a still photo and an action scene of each of the main stars as their name popped up. I applaud the director, Walter Graumann, for this. …
The Lego Batman Movie (2017 Animated Film)
I can still remember the time 3 years ago, almost the same day, I rushed to the nearest cinema because every critics loved The Lego Movie the moment it was released. I had no intention of watching it before but the reviews were so glowing that I was really tempted …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …
State of Play the Movie
With Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Helen Mirren in the cast, it is hard to go wrong with it. The story revolves around a congressman who had an affair with his researcher who gets killed. I love Ben Affleck’s acting here, especially when he was announcing into one of …
The First Wives Club
This movie I found to be very funny. I especially liked the part at the end, although the scene where they end up in a window washing rig outside of a building is great, too.
This movie is about three friends who have reunited after a long absence. They are …
Grave of the Fireflies
This “anime” film from Japan by Isao Takahata deals with a lot more realistic theme than those found in the most famous anime creator Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies tells the heartbreaking story of some children who survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in the 1940s. It is very …
Friday the 13th (2009), slasher film
Friday the 13th tends to scare most when it is brought up. Either as a day or the movie franchise, Friday the 13th is well known around the world. When word got around that Michael Bays production company was producing the latest Friday the 13th movie fans were terrified.
There …
Movie The Bad Seed
I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …
Mama Mia!
The movie “Mamma Mia” is 2008 hottest sensation. Even though it recieved mixed reviews from the critics, the public simply loved this movie so much that it was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and became the highest grossing film in Britain of all time. The previous record was …
Movie: Open Graves
I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …
The Godfather: Part Two
The Godfather: Part Two continues the story of the Corleone family as they try to move to more legitimate businesses. At the same time, it includes flashbacks to Vito Corleone’s trip to America and his early years in the country. The movie makes it clear that the paths that …
Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie
I was surprised that this movie didn’t get more thumbs down on Netflix reviews. This was an interesting film that could have been much much better. Offering a slightly different spin on the typical teenage group in the woods slasher film, this movie uses a little …
Ghost World comedy
Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …
Freaky Friday (2003 movie)
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan switch bodies and lives as they struggle with acceptance issues. One being a successful career oriented woman and the other being a high school teenager, they can’t seem to get along, so, one day they were in an oriental restaurant and they were …
Ganheddo movie
A sort of b-production science fiction from the late 1980s about a war between humans and machines. The year is 2038 and Ganheddo is a place where all surviving humans have gathered to figure out a way of destroying the evil machines. A theme seen many times through the …
Man of Tai Chi (2013) - Movie
Keanu Reeves directed Man of Tai Chi and also starred as Donaka Mark, an evil underground fight club owner. Tiger Hu Chen played Chen Lin Hu, a Tai Chi student that goes by the name of Tiger. You can already see where this is going, right? Surprisingly, no teachers …

Miami Vice, directed by Micahel Mann is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence, language and some sexual content. The original release date was Juky 28, 2006.
