“The Fourth Kind” movie
Good idea, very interesting form and … cheating, which discourages the viewer. Instead of shocking the movie, we deal with this really good, but unfortunately still not perfect art.
Intriguing beginning gives us hope for a great movie. At a time when we learn that it is based on facts …

Movie Knowing
I was rather excited about seeing this movie. I like Nicolas Cage and I like Science Fiction so I had great expectations but got pretty disappointed. I mean, the movie is not that bad but it is less than I was expecting.
The movie starts when a class of elementary …
Thelma & Louise (1991)
Thelma & Louise, is a movie about two female criminals who happened to fall on their craft by accident. But no matter that, let’s get into the meat of the matter…no pun intended. This movie shows the level that people can sink to in times of desperation, never push …
Herbie Fully Loaded Movie
Herbie Fully Loaded is one of those movies that I probably shouldn’t like, but somehow I really loved it. That doesn’t mean I’ll have the movie sitting out where my friends can see it, but I do love it. When I first heard about the movie I was pretty …
“Man of Steel” movie
I’m a big fan of Superman, as such I was looking forward to seeing this. I was worried at first as the production was rushed, but they got a great cast together and had a solid team behind the camera. The trailers themselves also did a good …
Annabelle (2014 Film)
I was prompted to watch Annabelle, after watching the conjuring and seeing the brief glimpses of the character in the movie, I was instantly interested.
When going in to watch this movie, I already had my ideas and expectations pretty much set. As with any horror movie, I was going in …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
The Deserter
The Deserter which has been dubbed a “Revolutionary Comedy” is about a British drummer stationed in America during the time of the American Revolution (1775-1784).

Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Murder by Television movie
It’s Bela Lugosi doing his thing in the vintage movie, Murder by Television. This is going back to the beginnings of TV, when networks and manufacturers were making the concept work and striving to make it better than their competitor.
This movie is all about industrial piracy, so …
The Guard (movie)
I watched the comedy thriller “The Guard” last night, and while there are many things I have to say about it, I promise to keep my review fairly brief.
The movie was about the strange partnership of an FBI agent, and an Irish policeman with some very unorthodox ways, …
Da vinci Code movie
I watched this movie with my mother when it first came out. I didn’t understand a lot of it. Unless you know the bible really well I wouldn’t recommend the movie. I was kind of lost throughout the whole movie. My mother knows the bible really well and she …
As Good As It Gets film
“As Good As It Gets” is a 1997 film with Academy Award-winning performances by Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. It is more of a character study than a plot-driven film, so be aware of that before buying or renting it. Not much happens in the movie. The …
Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …

Blade Trinity movie
Just when you think they could not do better than the original and the sequel…they came out with Trinity…BAD IDEA. It’s nice that they wanted to bring the first, the original vampire into the mix of things, but, they did a real terrible job with his portayal. Dracula (Drake) …
Avatar: The Legend of Aang
I never really loved cartoons, but this animation series got me hooked! I’m talking about “Avatar: The Legend of Aang”. For people who are hearing this title for the first time, the series is about a world ruled by 4 nations(fire, earth, water and air), living in peace until …

Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …

Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan of the Robin Hood legend I am. Those same people know what a huge Disney fan I am also. I should be in hog heaven then, when, along comes the marriage of both into one feature animated film.
All I can …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …

In the movie “Catch and Release” we see the actress, Jennifer Garner with a sad face most of the time, but believe me this movie is by far not boring. One can describe best “Catch and Release” as a romantic movie about relationships and trust ideal for both women …
The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)
Eddie Murphy takes on the character role of a con man with a famous name, with a name like Thomas Jefferson Johnson, his name could easily be confused with that of a senator or congressman, and being a con man, he uses this to his advantage when the current …
The Pink Panther movie
This is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Although the plot is predictable and somewhat cheesy, the character’s ridiculous antics make the movie absolutely hilarious.

Waitress - (starring Keri Russell)
This movie that I have watched before, Waitress, starring Keri Russell, is a very powerful and sweeping story. Do not underestimate the contents of it because it has lots of morale values that we can at one point or another learn.
Keri acted as Jenna and she is …
Jennifer’s Body movie
Well, we finally rented the movie Jennifer’s Body last night. As expected, the film was an OK movie and we got reminded of just how sexy Megan Fox really is. But, I have to say the movie also proved to be a bit of a disappointment.
The plot involving Fox …
Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie
I am also a twilight fan and came to love the book, the characters and the movie itself. I never miss to watch each of its episodes when it came out. The best Twilight Series that I’m so into is the Eclipse.
I think among the three episodes the last …
The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …

Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
