Bean Movie
Although at some point in our lives we may relate to this almost non-speaking wobbley man in this movie named Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson) shown in 1997 (directed by Mel Smith), because of stupidity we commit every now and then, no one would dare admit it openly. …
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I first watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” when I was about seven years old and I’ve been hooked since. I just watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” this evening for about the 50th time.
This movie is a classic for people of all ages. In …

There Will Be Blood, epic drama film
Directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite films of all times. The movie comes in two formats for the DVD, the single disc and the two disc special edition. Both offer the film in its entirety, but the one is …

“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …
Karate Kid 2010 Movie
Karate Kid 2010 is a very good martial arts movie. I like it but not as much as I loved the Original Karate Kid. I mean Jackie Chan is great but I will always love Mr. Miyagi. The movie is a little different than the Karate Kid. This time the …

When Harry Met Sally (movie)
When Harry Met Sally is the ultimate boy meets girl, girl doesn’t like boy, boy meets girl again and they become friends, boy and girl fall in love and get married story. I love this movie! I know, it’s a little, sappy love story and it was filmed a …
Hannah Montana The Movie
I have recently watched Hannah Montana The Movie and it is not that bad of a movie. I mean I love to watch this; especially when Miley Cyrus is the one acting. She is such a good and charming teenage actress and her dad plays in this movie …
Jumper
For the amount of recognizeable talent in this movie, I made the mistake of thinking that it had to be good and I neglected to check out reviews of it before I spent the $10.50 on a movie ticket to go see it.
The plotline was horrible. It was …
White House Down (movie)
One of the most thrilling movies that I watched in the past couple of weeks was White House Down. At first, I ignored it mostly because I had read a lot of bad reviews from both movie critics and regular people. What’s worse is that it had a fairly …
The Appearing, 2014 movie
Out of curiousity I decided to watch The Appearing directed by Daric Gates expecting to get scared by something other than possession and demons. But, this poorly crafted horror film intertwined with crime disheartened me to a great extent. Having watched The Appearing along with too many other horror …
Ace of Sales (Taiwan Movie)
Aces of Sales is a Taiwanese drama comedy directed by Cho Li.
I’ve some time to pass before my appointment so I decided to watch a movie online. I don’t have anything in mind so I just pick one randomly. I don’t really know what to say of this film, it …
Untamed Heart
This is a movie to watch with a loved one: spouse or boy/girlfriend, because it can teach you something about relationships. It is the story of Caroline, a waitress, and Adam, a busboy. Caroline has bad luck with relationships, the busboy just doesn’t associate well with people, preferring to …
Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …
Big Momma’s House 2
This was by far one of the dumbest movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. I was made to watch this by a friend and tried to watch it with an open mind, but that was dashed 5 minutes into the movie. Don’t get me wrong, Martin …
Adaptation-movie
The much acclaimed american screenwriter Charlie Kaufman here works together with the former music video director Spike Jonze for the second time. It’s a very complicated story in the centre of which Kaufman himself appears (and his evil twin brother!), played brilliantly by Nicholas Cage. He tries to write …
Wilde movie
A film about the controversial english author and poet Oscar Wilde who had to flee his home country when he openly declared himself as a homosexual. Stephen Fry is absolutely perfect as the exceedingly clever Wilde, and the rest of the cast is also impressive, especially Jude Law. One …
Evelyn
Evelyn with Pierce Brosnan, Stephen Rea, and Aidan Quinn.
I must admit that since enjoying Brosnan in the role as James Bond, I find myself enjoying any other role I see him in. This movie is based upon a real life story about an abandoned unemployed …
Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.
–I actually saw this movie years ago, but …
Movie : Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …
Mean Girls
In the movie “Mean Girls” we see the actress, Lindsay Lohan learning how to be mean after she starts to get a hard time at school. “Mean Girls” is a good teen movie; however it doesn’t represent the best interpretation from Lindsay Lohan.
“Mean Girls” portraits a situation that really …

Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
Farce of the Penguins (2007) Movie
Farce of the Penguins starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Saget was just that, “Farce.”
If one likes crude humor from cute cuddly cartoon characters then this is the movie for them. The whole story’s purpose was to be the parody of the movie, “March of the Penguins” which depicts …
The Salvation (2014 Film)
As a Mads Mikkelsen fan, I was excited to watch the latest film he was starring in called The Salvation. He is a fantastic actor, that I have come to enjoy watching in the last few years. He has a way of captivating the viewer with his performances and his …
Walk to Remember
“Just promise that you will never fall in love with me”. A famous line from the movie Walk to Remember which stars Mandy Moore and Shane West. This is a sad love story but I really like it. At first I thought its just another ordinary love story wherein …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …

Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
Murder by Numbers (2002)
I rented this movie mostly because of Sandra Bullock, she is always good. She was good here as well, although the character she plays, a homicide detective Cassie Mayweather, is somewhat unlikable. Cassie’s personality appears to have been permanently damaged by a brutal attack in the past, one that …
Unbroken-2014, Biography, Drama Movie
I always watch films that are based on World War period. World War 2 was one of the greatest nightmares world has ever seen. Their are a lot of films based on it, and the greater part of them are truly intriguing. Moving further, I never knew anything about the …
Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …

High School Musical movie
This is one of the best newer movies to come out of Disney in the recent future.
Set around a basketball player and the class brain trying out for the school’s musical and landing the lead roles, the movie has a fun plot to follow and some great music.
I’ve seen …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
How I Live Now (2013 Drama Movie)
Even though the movie itself never really became massively popular, I actually remember when the trailer for “How I Love Now” was released. I remember thinking that there were two main reasons why I wanted to see it. The first was because the actress Saoirse Ronan played the protagonist and …

The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …

TMNT
I remember being a kid in third grade and absolutely loving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles. They had a good cartoon, (or so I thought at that age) and made a few movies back then and some good money off their merchandising. Now in 2007, the turtle gang …
