Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …
Oliver! movie
One of my all-time favorite movie musicals is the wonderfully charming Oliver! I remember seeing it in the theaters when it came out in 1968, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I adored little Mark Lester, who plays the title role, and Jack Wild, who was …

Yes Man movie
Yes Man is another great comedy starring Jim Carey. The movie hit the number one spot in office this weekend and it did better than Will Smith’s Seven Pounds. The movie is a success. You will get nothing but laugh with Jim Carey. There is a lot of laugh. …
Alex and Emma
Alex and Emma is an average romantic comedy starring Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson in the lead roles. The movie has a nice story but the pace of the movie is a bit slow and it sometimes becomes boring to see some scenes. Alex is an upcoming writer who …

Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
Mall Cop
Paul Blart Mall Cop is a hilarious comedy starring Kevin James. This is overall the funniest movie I’ve seen in awhile. I love Kevin James because of his weight but also he’s a funny comedian and actor. He does well for the movie. I really enjoy watching this …
Bullet Boy (R, 2004)
You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …
Gothika (2003)
A psychiatrist at a mental hospital is possessed by the spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered by the doctor’s husband. Did I give it away too soon? I don’t think so, even if you are given the entire plot of the movie right off the bat, it …
Shutter Island movie 2010
Shutter Island is a film that deserves much more attention than it has gotten. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a tarnished detective who is sent to find an escaped prisoner on an island and lands in a huge conspiracy with many twists and turns. The acting from the entire cast …
Madagascar
To watch Madagaskar with my kids was a so pleasant movie adventure! Both my two boys enjoyed it very much. Me too! Finally I found one movie that is not violent for kids, and a film that tell one interesting story. We wath the movie in an Avant Premiere …
Session 9 (2001 movie)
“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …

Meet the Parents
Meet the Parents was a great and very funny movie. I really liked this film and it made me laugh a lot. I think the best thing about the film is that Ben Stiller was in it. I never even knew who this guy was until I saw Meet the …
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 Film)
2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …
The Judge (2014 drama movie)
“The Judge” wasn’t really one of those movies whose trailer sparked much interest for me. As a matter of fact I didn’t expect that it would be very good even though it had some talented actors in it such as Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, and Vera Farmiga. However after …
Hot Pursuit (comedy movie)
Although I’d heard beforehand that the movie wasn’t very good, I was still determined to watch Hot Pursuit . At the time I’d wanted something fairly lightweight that I could enjoy without thinking too much. It turns out that while it was the type of movie I was looking for, …

The Dead Girl movie
Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …
Terry Tate Office Line Backer
I was watching youtube at one time because I got curious about the fact some people mentioned the name Terry Tate and it sounded laughter to me. So purposely looked for him over youtube and I got their point. Terry Tate is another fictional character (played by Mighty …
Sleuth movie
A writer who love all kinds of games invites his wife’s lover to his house in a struggle between life and death. This is a most clever film with the brilliant actors Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier in the leading roles. All twists in the plot reminds a little …
Righteous Kill
Righteous kill was directed by Jon Avnet and featured Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as the main characters. Other notables in the movie were 50 cent, John Leguizamo, Donnie Wahlberg, and Brian Dennehy.
The central plot of the movie is that a cop is killing bad guys who …
Happy Together movie
Yet another film by the master Wong Kar-Wai, which tells the story of a homosexual couple and their stormy relationship. It ends the era of his more explosive visual style and brings him closer to what he does today. The narrative is slower, more thoughtful, but still Wong Kar-Wai’s …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …
White Men Can’t Jump
I think White Men Can’t Jump was a great movie. Now I love playing basketball, and I used to play a lot of basketball as a kid. And I think that is part of the reason I love this movie. I also have always been a Wesley Snipes fan. I …

I was flipping through my Netflix Instant Watch catalog the other night and came across the movie Signs and decided to watch it again.
I have seen a lot of movies about alien invasions. This is one of the few that manages to scare the crap out of me every …
Movie Wild Hogs
One of my favorite comedy movies. I watched this movie I would say about a month ago. It’s a great comedy movie. My favorite thing about the movie is that it keeps you laughing throughout the entire thing. They do fall down a lot on their motorcycles but they …
Up in the Air movie
This movie stars George Clooney. It’s about a man who prefers to live alone, stay away from family, and enjoy his work because it involves a lot of traveling that allows him to maintain his living along life style. In this movie, Clooney’s job is to fire and lay …
Cabin Fever movie
36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …
Bubble Boy
I thought Bubble Boy was a very funny and cool movie. It was very funny yet sad at the same time. I thought the boy who played Bubble Boy did a great job of acting. Everyone else also did a pretty good job of acting in the movie as well. …
Captain America: Civil War (Superhero Movie)
I began looking forward to seeing the next movie in the Captain America franchise shortly after Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released in 2014. After watching the movie Captain America: Civil War in the theatre recently I’m proud to report that I found it very entertaining.
Captain America: Civil …
Nothing movie
From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Director: John Singleton. Featureing: Paul Walker, Eva Mendes, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Cole Hauser.
I really loved that movie. It is a true blockbuster, filled with all the right ingredients- the cars, the well choreographed and impossible car races, the humour, the friendship and the beautiful woman. Worth watching.
It is …

OLDBOY (2003) - Film
Before watching this film I knew nothing about it other than its name, and the fact it had won a bunch of awards. I saw the film’s poster, which although quite cool, didn’t make me want to watch the film itself. It was a good few years after its …
DNAngel Episode 7 (Anime)
