Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is one of the best Harry Potter movies ever made. In fact, I recall that I did not like the fifth book in Harry Potter too much, but I ended up liking the movie a lot. Firstly, I liked that since …

Dr. Strangelove (1964 Classic Film)
Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …
Eat, Pray, Love (The Movie)
I watched this movie last weekend and I have to say that I didn’t like it much. The plot was not strong enough and not developed well enough to justify the lessons that Liz Gilbert was imparting in the movie. It did not evoke any feeling, and …

Suicide Club horror movie
Suicide Club (or Circle, in practically everywhere besides the US) is a Japanese psychological horror movie that deals with subliminal messages, people’s outward appearances and personalities, and the idea of cults.

Blade,movie
The original and still the best. It caused alot of controversy and it did not disappoint. You couldn’t tell if Blade was the bad guy or the good guy…but has was Baaad. Blade is a vampire who hunts vampires…an interesting plot at best. The action is intense and believable. …
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. Biollante is a movie that I highly recommend to Godzilla fans or monster movies fans in general. Godzilla looks incredible in this movie. He actually looks real and very evil, and his original 1954 roar is used in this movie, which is very fitting and it sounds …

Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
“TIME AND TIME AGAIN” Movie

The star is whished back …
The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …
Next Door (UR, 2005) movie
Next Door is one weird film. If you like foreign cinema, you will like this movie. If you like foreign cinema with eroticism and suspense, then you will LOVE this movie. I will confess that I wasn’t sure exactly what was going on at first. …
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

View from a top movie
“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …
Up movie
We ended up having our family movie night Friday and watched the film Up.
I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy because the plot seemed a bit too simple. But, it ended up being a very funny movie.
The first few minutes of the film are somewhat …
Role Models
Role Models made me laugh like crazy. I watched with a group of friends and we were basically just making a “wild guess” that this movie is going to work out. We were actually wanting to watch another movie show, but this one was available so it was …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
It is very difficult for a sequel to make the audience feel the same excitement as the first movie, and this sequel didn’t quite live up to that… However, it didn’t fail either. The second Transformers movie did a bad job, and a good job of giving us …
Hideous Kinky movie

Fantastic Four Movie
We recently rented and watched Fantastic Four. I hated Spider Man and then loved Spider Man 2 and 3, so I figured I would give comic book movies another chance. Fantastic Four was a decent movie. It had good flow, a nice and friendly end, and of course a …

Taking The Lead
Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown, and Alfre Woodard.
Right from the beginning, I began to mentally attack this movie as being hard to believe even though it is based on a true story. Banderas played a French dance teacher, yet his Spanish accent …
Alexander movie
For about three years or so the film “Alexander” was one of my favourite movies until I realised recently that it might not necessarily have been because it was a good movie. However, there is a good chance that I liked it because three of my celebrity crushes at …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife is probably going to be liked more by women than by men. I thought it was okay but was hard to follow. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not spent theater prices to see it and should have just waited until it …
Prancer movie
Even though I was burned out on Christmas movies, I did spend a great deal of time Christmas Eve watching them with my family. One of those movies was the film Prancer. And, after seeing that movie I definitely was ready to turn them off.
Prancer is an OK film. …
Comedy; Kenn Kington; I am Dad
I purchased a comedy DVD called “I Am Dad.” It cost me about 10.00+tax. This DVD is a brilliant combination of comedy and reality, presented by the stylings of comedian Kenn Kington. The DVD is a crown comedy presentation, and is chuck full of the most …
27 dresses (movie)
We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …
Hot Fuzz (2007 Film)
If you have enjoyed the guys from “Shawn of the Dead” then you will also enjoy this new film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in the 2007 film “Hot Fuzz”. This film was hilarious and very entertaining to watch, with the British humor and some explicit death scenes, …
Silent Hill (R-2006)- movie
As usual, I got sucked into seeing this movie since I’m such a huge fan of horror. The trailers looked intriguing (as they always do). But upon reading about this movie, I realized that it is based off of a video game. This could have made …
The Driver, movie (1978)
In 2011, Drive was critically acclaimed for its 80’s throwback style and intense car chase sequences. For comparisons, the likes of Bullitt and French Connection were often cited in many reviews. One movie in particular was left out of those reviews. This is criminal considering the …
Dumb & Dumber
I don’t think anyone else but Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey could play Harry and Lloyd. You hear that all the time, that so-and-so are born to play a role, but Jim Carrey was Lloyd Christmas, and Jeff was Harry Dunne. They both stepped into these characters seamlessly, artfully. …
Anna and the King
I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).

Hitman, action film by Xavier Gens
The Hitman franchise has been around for 14 years so far. The franchise originally started on the Playstation and then worked its way to last gen consoles. After four games, Fox snagged up the rights to make a movie. Compared to other video game movies this is much better, …
The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina - movie short
One of my favorite Doris Day films is “The Glass Bottom Boat” in which she stars with Rod Taylor and Arthur Godfrey. From 1966, The Glass Bottom Boat in Catalina is a movie short that promotes the movie. It’s narrated by Godfrey, who goes back and forth …
Body of Lies
Watching Leonardo Dicaprio acting in Body of Lies, I could feel the tension brewing in his character and I watched this before when it was released in my country sometime last year.
There is something mysterious and foreboding whenever spy movies or movies that are filled with CIA Agents give me. …
The Bigamist movie
Another vintage movie that I’ve seen lately is The Bigamist. I’ve never seen it before. It’s really a classic soap opera piece that has much of it glossed over becomes of the standards and practices of the day. That actually surprises me, how they made movies …
