Bedtime Stories movie
I just watched the movie Bedtime Stories with my boyfriend. This movie was such a great funny family movie. This movie had Adam Sandler in it, which made it very watchable. It was about a janitor named Skeeter that could not move up 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 Brave One
My husband and I just went to see the latest movie of Jodie Foster called The Brave One. To be honest, at first I thought it was gonna be boring as you know it’s drama.. you can’t expect to see much of action anyway. But turned out it’s the …
Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …
Big film
“Big” is a classic 1988 movie starring Tom Hanks. It really elevated Hanks to stardom as an everyman who most people can relate to. Looking back on it now, there are some weak plot points, but the movie also has some iconic scenes that one will not …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
ATL (movie)
I must admit that I was skeptical about this film at first. I didn’t realize that the movie was based on a real “era” in Atlanta. Furthermore, I did not realize that the movie was written by Antwone Fisher. The story centers around (4) teenage friends …
The Fox and the Hound 2
The Fox and the Hound is a good film for me. I really find it enjoyable to see a movie about friendship and love. I love dogs that’s why I thought of watching this movie. Its really nice to see them singing. Although its just anecdotal in nature an …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
Unstoppable (movie)
I watched this movie a few Saturdays ago with two other members of my family, and even though I thought it could have been a little better, it certainly surpassed my expectations of what it might have been like. Based on the ads of it that I saw on …
Bridget Jones Diary
Renee Zellwenger had to increase about 25 lbs. in order to interpret the role of Bridget Jones. Even though she felt a lot chubby, her sacrifices were all worth it in the end. “Bridget Jones Diary” was a smashing hit and definitely her most successful movie!
So why “Bridget Jones …
Om Shanti Om
I recently bought a VCD of Om Shanti Om as i was desperate to see the Shah Rukh starrer on my screen, considering all the hype around the movie, it was not up to the mark but yeah it was not far from it either. The movie started with a …
Going The Distance Movie (2010)
I first thought this was just an ordinary feel-good movie, it features Drew Barrymore and her real-life boyfriend “The Jeepers Creepers Guy” Justin Long; it’s a story about two people meeting and falling in love but Drew here is just actually on a temporary “vacation” as she’s an intern …

Shrek
I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …
Night at the museum DVD
I thought this was a brilliant film with a great storyline. Ben Stiller is the main charater in this film and he plays a character called larry, larry keeps trying to invent things without success so his ex partner tells him he has to get a proper job otherwise …
I Miss You Like Crazy 2010
Last February 2010, my friends and I have decided to watch a drama-comedy romantic flick starring one of the famous Philippine love teams today, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo entitled I Miss You Like Crazy. The film is about a guy named August (John Lloyd) who accidentally fell …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
The Girl with All the Gifts (Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Horror Movie)
The Girl with All the Gifts is a 2016 British post-apocalyptic zombie horror drama film directed by Colm McCarthy and written by M.R. Carey adapted from his novel of the same name.

Nim’s Island
I recently rented this movie for my little sister and I to watch. It was surprisingly pretty good. Nim is this little girl that lives on an island with her dad and no one else knows about the island. Jodie foster plays in the movie (I forget her name …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …

Jarhead movie
It’s not often that I will find a movie so horrible I have to turn it off before I even get halfway through it. This is especially true of war movies. However, Jarhead became one of those films.
When I read the description of the movie and saw the previews, …
Kissing A Fool
Kissing A Fool with David Schwimmer, Jason Lee, and Bonnie Hunt.
This film theme had potential, but the horrible cast selection never gave it a chance. Schwimmer used his experience from Friends and tried to make it work as a major character in a motion picture. …
Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement
There will many who brand Alex Jones, the Austin based documentary filmmaker, radio and tv host as a conspiracy nut. Heck, I would have done so not too terribly long ago. However, after seeing many of his films I have begun to see that there is a …
Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
The Thief and the Cobbler film
The thief and the cobbler is a 1993 animated fantasy film set in an Arabian like land..Even though it was released in 1993,the film was in production for about 30 years because of the difficulty of the director to fund the movie.In the beginning of the film,the three golden …
Regarding Henry movie
This movie, Regarding Henry, is one I enjoy watching a great deal. It stars Harrison Ford as a very unlikable lawyer who cares more about image and his dining room table than he does for his wife and daughter. Annette Bening is the wife, and Mikki Allen …
Princess Mononoke (US Version)
Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …
Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian
Recently my kids and I watched “Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian”; we saw how funny it looked on its trailer and wanted to buy it. Immediately after watching it I wanted to do a review and decided on one thing: if a movie that …

Happy Feet
My mom and dad bought Happy Feet for my little girl to watch and it couldn’t have been a better purchase. She just loves this movie. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
Between the melody and rhythm of the music and the contrast of colors on the movie, it …
Little Miss Sunshine
I am reviewing the movie, Little Miss Sunshine, which was nominated for best picture this past year. It really is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It stars Greg Kinnear as the father in the movie, Richard Hoover, who has a motivational plan called “the …
Clueless (1995) Movie
In 1995, a teen flick came out and I remembered watching it a lot of times with my girlfriends. It was when the movie Clueless came out.
Clueless stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher, Stacey Dash as Deeone, the late Brittany Murphy (Tai) and the stepbrother Paul Rudd as Josh.
This …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
Dances With Wolves
We like Kevin Costner as an actor and we saw Dances With Wolves last week. Even after all these years this is still an excellent movie.

The Smurfs 2 (movie)
Smurfs 2 is an animation, comedy and family movie of 2013 directed by Raja Gosnell who directed the Smurf which was released in 2011. I enjoyed the Smurfs at its peak, and was expecting the same from the Smurfs 2. The Smurfs 2 was releasing with a couple of …

Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
I loved The Devil Wears Prada film largely because Meryl Streep was such a bitch. The good news is How To Lose Friends And Alienate People is written in the same vein only the main character is not Anne Hathaway but a smart talking clumsy writer (Sydney Young) played …
The Deaths of Ian Stone Movie
The Deaths of Ian Stone is one of the more interesting movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest series of horror movies. I’ve heard from a lot of people that the movie was just plain bad, or that they hated it. I didn’t hate it, but …
Descent (NC-17, 2007) movie
Man oh man, was I disappointed with this movie. There aren’t too many films starring Rosario Dawson that I absolutely hate. But this one—an indie—about her “brutal” rape was just strange. The premise is that she’s an introverted college student who is lured into …
Movie : Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog
I came across the short movie Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog a couple weeks ago and was intrigued enough to add it to my instant watch queue at Netflix (but not enough to actually rent the movie). I’m glad I did. The film was actually pretty interesting.
This movie, which was …

Wyatt Earp movie
When it comes to Westerns, this movie has to be one of the best ones to ever be released.
Kevin Costner does a great job portraying the legendary marshall as the movie tells the story about him moving to Tombstone. Dennis Quaid also put in a great performance as Earp’s …
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
I admit to being a bit apprehensive when I checked this movie out, mainly because I had not liked the first “Garfield” movie. Mainly I had thought Garfield had acted a tad too mean in it. But to my utter surprise, this movie was a real delight to watch. …
