IMDB.com
IMDB.com (stands for Internet Movie Database) is, in my opinion, one of the best movie-related sites. You can find information about virtually any movie on it, even those that are no longer available. You can search the database for a specific movie title or a specific actor. Each actor …
The Marine (PG-13, 2006) movie
If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …
You can count on me movie
Critically acclaimed drama about a woman who alone has to take care of her son. One day her brother comes to visit and things start to change in the relationship betweem the mother and her son.
I do admit that some of the scenes here are heartwarming and that the …
Prozac Nation (movie)
“Prozac Nation” was one of those movies that I didn’t know about until very long after when I had seen it on cable television. The only reason why I even watched it at the time was because I was still fascinated with the actress Christina Ricci, and wanted to …
Shawshank Redemption
Shawshank Redemption is a movie set in the 1940’s. I first saw Shawshank Redemption some 10 years ago and it quickly became one of my favorites. I watch it every time that I see it on television and I own the DVD to it. This story has one of …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Imposter Mystery
I am reviewing the episode, The Imposter Mystery, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …
film “Ginger Snaps Back” (2004)
I really enjoyed the film Ginger Snap and I though this movie would be similar but it was not. Basically the makers of the first movie did not expect it to be a cult favorite. It was not made with a lot of money but did very …
Road Show movie
Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …

Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …
Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …

American Honey (2016 Drama Road Film)
Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …

Battle Planet (movie)
When I saw the dvd at the house of a friend, I could not help thinking that the name “Battle Planet” sounded familiar. However, later on I learned that the movie was actually a Syfy original science fiction movie, and after reading a good, review on it, I was …
Grumpier Old Men

Movie Numb
I am reviewing the movie, Numb, starring Matthew Perry. So there’s this guy. He has a lot of problems. He has depersonalization. This means that everything around him is in a dream state. He doesn’t know whether things are real. They all seem like they’re holograms and unreal. In …
The Proposal (2009 movie)
I watched The Proposal in June 2009 with a couple of friends. Although it was not the movie I originally intended on watching, it was quite interesting and enjoyable. As a romantic comedy, I think that it was nearly flawless; the dull moments in the movie were far outweighed …
Prometheus movie
The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?
Well, many people have many mixed opinions of the film. Personally I found it quite good, though conflicting. The plot went well, and mixed in nicely with the very first Alien film that came out. I …

The original release date was September 30, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Science Fiction/Thriller …
Showgirls movie
Showgirls is one of the most idiotic, lame and stupid movies I’ve ever has the non-pleasure of watching. Elizabeth Berkley attempts to pull off her pitiful character, Nomi, and fails miserably. I never thought much of Elizabeth Berkley and her acting anyway, and Showgirls was the straw that broke …
House of Wax (2005)

Looney Tunes Back in Action
Normally, if there’s a movie that features cartoon characters talking to real actors, I’m not a huge fan.
Not that movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam didn’t have their moments; they just were a bit too corny for my tastes.
Looney Tunes Back in Action still fits that …
21 grams movie
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is mexican filmmaker who showed his amazing talent half a decade ago with Amores Perros. 21 grams is his second film and it tells a very tragic and complex story, all told in flashbacks, of three people who meet each other for different reasons that are …
A Raisin In The Sun (movie)

La La Land - (Romantic Musical Film) 2016
Tears in your eyes, laughter spewing out of you and songs you find humming at odd hours? You must have watched La La Land. I’m not a person who often enjoys musicals and yet La La Land surprised me. I was enthralled, drawn into the story and of course couldn’t …
Black Butler: Season One, Anime
Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively). I absolutely love this series …

Confessions of a Shopaholic
—˜Confessions of a Shopaholic’ is a great movie for us women. I believe that many women have —˜shopaholic’ moments where we buy all kind of things and end up not using most of them like the main character of this movie interpreted by Isla Fisher.
The first thing that really …
My Bloody Valentine 3D

One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo with Robin Williams.
I am sorry to say that this was the worst Robin Williams movie ever. Why take a great comedic actor and put him in a detestable role of obsessed evil? This is a case in which the story …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!
It seems that the on-screen …
Dan in Real Life
I love going to the cinema. I love the whole experience. Seeing the film on the big screen, eating hot dogs and popcorn and drinking soft drinks. For me the entire experience is enjoyable and I’ve sat through some fairly mediocre films just because i enjoy going to the …

While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …

DVD: Keeping Mum

Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie

12 Angry Men movie
The original 12 Angry Men is a movie I can, and have, watched over and over again. It’s a contained movie, all about the 12 men who are on the jury for a youth accused of murdering his father. We don’t see the trial. We see …
