Hostel horror movie
Hostel is a notable entry in the “torture porn” horror genre. This film, along with Saw, in a sense CREATED the “torture porn” genre, a genre that is most notable for having extreme blood and gore. Hostel, however, is not just dumb blood and gore. It is actually a …

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer Movie
Are you just plain tired of the same old horror movies? Are you sick of the tiresome overkill of the once popular (for some stupid reason) ’shaky cam’ in horror movies? Are you wishing for films reminiscing of ‘Evil Dead’? Well look no further than ‘Jack …
The Breakup Artist (2009 Film)
The romance comedy that was first on TV in the year 2009 called “The Breakup Artist” may not be considered one to go down in history, it is a very cute and adorably funny film that can really be entertaining. With the great group of actors and actresses that …

Avatar film
Avatar(2009) is a post-apocalyptic action/adventure/SciFi/romance rated PG-13 for Adult Language, Adult Situations, and Violence…lots of Violence.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …
Elysium movie
A couple of months ago I watched a trailer of the movie Elysium. My first expressions were «WOW. That is a must-watch movie». It was full of superb special effects, action and some new idea.
And then, the movie came out in the cinemas. I went to the good theatre, …
Forever Mine movie

Red Dawn (1984)
There is some controversy about this movie and the date it was released, to the effect that it was the very first movie to have a Motion Picture Association rating of PG-13 due to the excessive violence that the movie offered. Now I say to you my good viewing …
Hoodwinked movie
When I first saw the previews for Hoodwinked on television I thought it would be a lousy film. But, after giving it a try, I now feel it is a movie I would be glad to add to my collection.

The happening movie
The happening was a pretty good movie. It’s about something happening in parts of the world where it makes people do weird things and eventually kill themselves. I thought it was well directed because it will let you know what is happening but yet it is not gory at …
Head over Heels comedy

Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (Movie 2011)
I just recently saw the third Chipmunk movie installment, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. I found the movie had too much music and was not as interesting as the first two but it was cute and I did enjoy it. I am not sure that I will watch it …
The Bishop’s Wife
One of the most loved and cherished of the holiday classics is The Bishop’s Wife from 1947. Starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young, it’s an enchanting story of a bishop, his wife, and a Christmas visitor. It’s magical and everything good that a movie for …

Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …
Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
The Langoliers movie
As a young child, one of my scariest memories was made as a result of watching the movie “The Langoliers” one night. I was not able to get the images of giant meatball-like creatures with moving razor sharp teeth out of my head, and often had dreams about them. …

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 …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …

The Bank Job, British crime film
Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …
Spaceballs (1987 movie)
If it’s from Mel Brooks, it’s great comedy.
Spaceballs makes parody of Star Wars, having the same great characters, but with a comedic insight. Lord Dark Helmet (very huge helmet) is sent to steal air from planet Druidia. Lone Starr with the help of his trusty sidekick Barfolemew ‘Barf’ are …
