Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …
Cocoon: The Return
“Cocoon: The Return” was released in 1988, three years after the original Cocoon that I really enjoyed. A group of senior citizens had left the planet Earth in the end of the first movie, choosing to live with aliens, on a planet where there is no illness or aging. …
Friends sitcom
I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …
Enemy Mine (1985)
I love this movie not only because the actors are great but also the theme is fascinating. Aliens.
This movie though features only one type of fictional aliens, the reptilian like creatures that somehow resembles humans but only wearing a thick scaly skin and a tail of a dinosaur …
The Men Who Stare at Goats movie
I just watched this movie recently, and from the looks of it, I do not think I will ever watch it again. Honestly, I thought it was a bankable film because it starred George Clooney and so far, I have been quite satisfied with his films, until I …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
DVD Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?

In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …
High School Musical
When I first heard of Disney’s High School Musical franchise, my first thought was “Not another cheesy teen flick!”, and I was sure I wouldn’t like it.
One evening, I was flicking through channels, to find something decent to watch, when I came across High School Musical 1 playing on …
Movie 2012
I liked this movie. It’s another movie from Roland Emmerich, which I consider to be the master of disaster movies the likes of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Apparently, he produced and directed this film for Columbia Pictures, which is of course owned by the …

Battlefield Earth

Napolean Dynamite Movie
The first time I ever watched Napolean Dynamite, I thought it was prehaps the worst movie ever made. Since then however I have gotten an appreciation for this movie. For the most part its a bout a nerdy high school student and his expolits. After the second, or third …
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film
I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.

The Hole movie
It was my friend who actually recommended the horror film called “The Hole” to me some time ago. The person didn’t tell me much about it either since I don’t like to be told much about movies before I watch them; but nevertheless, based upon how they described it, …
Silent hill Movie
Silent hill is based on a very sickening, disturbing and horror story, something that most people like to see now adays and a kind movie that is very rare. Previously Silent hill was released as games and in japan in the form of comics aswell. I just went mad …

My Bloody Valentine movie
My Bloody Valentine has risen to the level of cult status not so much by what’s on screen, but by what is not on screen.
In 1981, Paramount released this Friday the 13th clone in theaters on Valentine’s Day and, despite having a really cool theme (mad killer returns to …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …
The Other Guys (2010)
To be frank, 2010 hasn’t been a great year for comedy. Most of the billed “comedy” movies have been stale and unfunny, and the ones that are occasionally funny are better characterized as dramas. While The Other Guys isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, it is the funniest movie of the …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully. The only drawback is that much of the film takes place in dark underground mining shafts and eerie wooded areas at night, which makes it difficult at …
Very Violent Film
Isn’t it good to go to a movie and see intelligent, peacefull and interesting films? But there is nothing of this that I found at Lord of The Rings 3. There are so much violence in the scenes, so much strange anoyng creatures, like the Orcs, creatures that are …
The Reader movie
The best way to describe the movie —˜The Reader’ is a very moving film which tackles emotions and sentiments in a unique way. It is no wonder that there were many actresses who wanted to interpret the main female role such as Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard and …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
The Quantum of Solace
I saw the latest Bond flick over the weekend with a few of my friends. I am not a huge Bond fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve seen most of Bond movies, especially the ones released in the past 15 years, so I have at least …

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)

Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
She’s The Man comedy
This is one of my favorite comedies. There are a lot of funny parts in it. It is more of a girls movie but I know a couple of guys who enjoyed the movie. It was a great comedy movie. There are a couple of parts where Amanda Bynes …
Fast and Furious 4 (2009)
One of the most disappointing movies of the year, Fast and Furious 4 was a flat, uninteresting film. I was dismayed that even the actors came out flat here. It came off like a bad “made for TV” low budget movie. There are no twists or events …

500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
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 …
Lets Be Cops (movie)
I’m one of those people who strongly believe that it is possible to tell when a movie is not going to be very good. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “Lets Be Cops” for the first time, I knew it was going to be one of …
Chloe (movie)
“Chloe” was a movie that I wanted to see ever since I saw the trailer back in 2009. I realised that the plot had the potential to be similar to a couple of those that I had seen in the past, and so I watching it wasn’t a very …
Skyfall movie
The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …
