Seeing the questionable practices of the Catholic Church, Luther, a devoted monk, begins to question its teachings. Despite being a monk, he has never read the New Testament; when he does, he is …
The Bucket List
I cried when I watched The Bucket List before. It starred Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and it saddened me to know that these 2 characters are facing death since they are terminated with cancer.
And due to that, they have a chance to obtain a friendship of a lifetime …
Land of the Lost
I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.
Well, I watched it this past weekend and it turns out I was right.
This movie just wasn’t that good. Ferrell is supposed to be some sort of genius scientist …
House of a Thousand Corpses
This is a movie (produced and shown in 2003) that I regret having watched. I only wasted money.
I am not going to watch anymore movie directed by Rob Zombie if this is an example. This contains scenes that only psychos like the ones in the movie …
Superman the Third
Certain elements seem to indicate when a movie franchise has lost its steam and either needs to be retired, or re-evaluated. Unfortunately, with the Superman movie franchise, these elements were ignored until it was too late. Superman III clearly marked these elements. The stars were tired, their performances forced …
Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Space Cowboys
I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …

The Gift - Psychological Thriller Movie (2015)
I watched the movie, The Gift, because of its interesting trailer and it seemed to be on the cusp of horror (I’m a big fan of horror). I didn’t expect to be extremely impressed by the movie but nearly two hours later, I was definitely satisfied. The Gift is more …
PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …

X-Men (Movie)

I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …

Shutter Island Movie (2010)
Who would have thought that Leonardo DiCaprio would be one of the greatest actors that would star in a lot of great blockbuster movies? One of these movies would be Shutter Island (2010). This was one of the best movies that I have seen DiCaprio in next to Inception. …

Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!
Brooklyn is a straightforward storytelling of a small town Irish-girl trying to improve her …
A face to die for
You know, sometimes the best movies out there are those that are made for television. Proof of that can be found in the 1996 made-for-TV movie “A Face to Die For.”

Salt the Movie
Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …
RPG Metanoia The First 3d Animated Film in The Philippines

Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (UR, 2006) movie
I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …
Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen
When we first saw previews for the movie Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen, we thought it would be a somewhat funny movie. Turns out it was actually quite dull.
Unless you like seeing a teenaged Lindsay Lohan in a tight red dress, there really isn’t much value to this …

The Prince and Me Movie
This is one of my favorite films, it’s one of todays classic fairytale of an ordinary girl who meets a stunning handsome prince. It’s almost like Cinderella, but in a young adult version. I always like stories about fairytales and rags-to-riches stories.
Paige meets Eddie a charming Danish prince at …
Mean Girls
Ugh. I hate the title for this movie even more than I hate the movie itself. And what surprises me is the amount of parents that let their kids watch something with the title ‘Mean Girls’. It’s not such an awful movie; I guess. It’s your typical high school …
The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …
The Little Mermaid
This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …
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 …
