Miral (2010 film) by Julian Schnabel
When I read the short outline of this movie, I thought I was reading a news article. I just saw Miral earlier, and it was probably the only culturally significant movie I’ve seen of this year. To summarize, Miral is one way to understand the political conflict …
Mr Arkadin movie
What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …

Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …

Dawn of the Dead (1978) is George A. Romero’s sequel to his classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead (1968). Romero ups the ante in this sequel, which may in fact be better than …
The Gravedancers
The title of this movie, The Gravedancers is very scary already. I screamed like a mad woman on some really scary scenes. I would warn viewers out there to bring all your sweater jackets, shawl, some warm drinks and good peanuts as the more this movie gets …

The Great Gatsby movie
No offense to F. Scott Fitzgerald, but The Great Gatsby bored me as a book, and it left me cold as a movie, too. I just never got into it. The only reason I went to see the film was because Robert Redford starred as Jay Gatsby. …
The movie The condemn
I so freaking loved the movie the condemn for so many reasons! First off the movie is about 2 hours long but in all honesty there are no boring parts to this movie and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time watching it.
The actors are …
Ninja Assassin : The Movie
The main reason why I decided to watch this movie was because this movie concluded my entire fetish in it. I love everything about Ninja things (I love everything about Japan things, and Ninja was originally from Japan, am I right?) and Assassins are also one of my favorite …
Artemisia Movie
“Artemisia” is the 1997 Miramax biopic of Artemisia Gentileschi, a seventeenth century Italian woman painter when women were not and were not allowed to be artists. Artemisia is played by Italian actor Valentina Cervi who was unknown to me before watching the movie. She plays a young, intense woman …
Blazing Saddles (1974)
I think Blazing Saddles is one of the best comedy films ever made and although people often say that ‘High Society’ is Mel Brooks’s best film, for me this is the best. This is a satirical film, which is a fact that some people seem to miss, which …
Life is Beautiful movie
This review does not have a summary. This movie was one of the best holocaust movies I have seen in a long time. When I saw this movie, it was all in Italian, which is for the most part the only downside to it. Although, the script in …
Seventh Son movie (2015)
I’ll be coming as a viewer who hasn’t read the book series by Joseph Delaney but after having seen the movie, I’ll be buying a copy of book 1 of the series.
I thought the movie had potential if only it was handled better. The SFX was good enough not …
VONGO
This is a great service for any movie buff. I love renting and buying movies but hate having to fight traffic just to get to a movie place. I tried the whole blockbuster online and netflix thing but hated having to wait for movies in the mail and then …
A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …

Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs

Freak The Mighty
Just one word can describe this movie, and that is “awesome”. I saw this movie recently, and I really loved the story of this movie. It is all about true friendship between two completely different boys. One boy is suffering from a bad disease, and he has very little …
Original Sin movie
British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 Film)
Everyone is familiar with the Disney cartoon of “Alice in Wonderland”, however, many might wonder what happened to Alice after she returned from Wonderland. In the modern take of Alice, viewers can find out in the 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland”. While this film has the same name as …
The Dead Girl movie
Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …
Turkish Star Wars
This movie is seriously an abomination on film. A lot of bad movies fall into two categories.
The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
Con Air Movie
I’ve seen this movie for many times. The leading actor Nicolas Cage is one of favorite. In this story he was married to a lovely wife who is currently pregnant. I like the story because it showed how much he loved his wife. He accidentally in prison because of …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail (1998) Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a classic meg flick. She’s at her usual, quirky best; off beat and fun.
Hanks also known for his romantic comedies, mostly co-starring along side Meg; this movie won’t disappoint you.
You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …
Spring Breakdown
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …
Sweeney Todd
Just so we’re all clear, this review is about the 2007 movie with Johnny Depp - not the show, or the DVD of the show.
I thought this movie was a pretty good adaptation of the show. The acting is great, the songs are for the most part as good …
Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
Boys Don’t Cry
Boys Don’t Cry is a graphic, violent, emotional account of a true story, the story of Brandon Teena or Teena Brandon. Teena Brandon was born a girl, but somewhere along the way she decided that she wanted to be a boy so she changed her name to Brandon Teena …
The New Guy movie
I got bored yesterday afternoon (both kids were taking naps) so I ended up watching the movie “The New Guy” again. I think I have seen that thing about a dozen times now and have to say it is still one of the funniest movies ever.
DJ Qualls is hilarious …
The House Bunny
When I first saw the movie “The House Bunny” advertising to be released in theatres, I wanted to see it. This was because I had seen a few potentially very funny scenes such as the one where the house bunny, Shelly tries to impress a guy by doing a …
MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …
AVP
Aliens vs. Predator is my personal favorite of the entire sga of both movies.
The story goes like this: a bunch of scientist discovered an ancient temple in the Pole, they also discovered that over night a giant tunnel leading down to it mistriously appeared. They have no idea of …
Raise Your Voice
Raise Your Voice is a teenage movie that stars Hilary Duff, David Keith and Oliver James that was released in 2004. This movie focuses on music. If you are the type who likes to relax and watch a movie that has a sweet message, a little predictable, then this …
Oliver & Company (Disney Movie)
Oliver & Company was a pretty good movie. I really think the animated dogs in this movie looked really cool. Oliver was a very cool and funny character. I really liked the storyline and the all of the characters in the movie. Though the actors did a great job on …
