The kid and I movie
The kid and I is a movie I thought to be funny but sad at the same time. It depicts how a guy wants to kill himself at first but wakes up and finds out he has a job. This guy is a actor and his life is centered …
Love of Siam movie
If you guys have watched Love of Siam, a Thai movie with English subtitles, you would feel exactly like me. I wouldn’t say what the plot story main gist is all about but I was very surprised about the love sequence in this movie. I would say like …

The Bourne Supremacy
There’s rarely a sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster that lives up the original in any way. I have to agree with this when it comes to the second installment of the Jason Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy. Though it’s still good, I can’t say that it holds a candle …
The Wedding Singer
The Wedding Singer marks the appearance of Adam Sandler being an extremely funny man. He rocks in this movie and his side-kick, Drew Barrymore rocks too. The storyline is about Adam being a wedding singer and this romantic comedy is awesome.
Adam plays the character of Robbie, …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
Alice in Wonderland 1951 Movie
Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …

The Santa Clause 2
I love The Santa Clause 2. It is a great movie and in my opinion, better than the first part. (I have not yet seen the third part but am really eager to!) In this sequel, Santa Clause has to find a Mrs. Claus in 30 days else he …

Under the Skin (2013 movie)
I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …
Man Of Steel Movie
A year after the glamorous finale of the last trilogy of Batman with “The Dark Knight Rising” in theaters appeared another, perhaps even more epic adventure , inspired by the comic book universe of DC. “Man of Steel” launches a new series of Superman - the oldest and most …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
Before Sunrise movie
The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …
Go West, Young Girl movie
I actually only saw Go West, Young Girl for the first time last year. It’s another Karen Valentine movie from 1978 that relies on her innocent, cutesy, and even spunky persona to succeed. She plays Netty Booth, an Eastern reporter who wants to go west to make …

Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …
27 Dresses

Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …

London - (starring Jessica Biel)
I watched London starring Jessica Biel the other day and it’s not really that bad a movie story. Chris Evans star too and in this DVD movie story that I watched, it’s basically about Chris Evans and he act as the character Syd. He is a guy that …

Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …
Happy Feet (the movie)
Don’t we all just love penguins? I know I do. I was really excited when the movie came out, i really had big expectations about it since it only heard good things about it. And the day finally came, I went to the cinema (which nowadays I do rarely) …

My wife and I were feeling a bit nostalgic this past weekend and picked up the movie Ghoulies to watch. We both remember watching this movie as kids but couldn’t remember much from it (other than the one popping out of the toilet) and figured it would be worth …

Lake Mungo movie
Lake Mungo is one of the AfterDark Horrorfest movies of 20–. I usually find these are better than the standard B horror movies so when they came out on DVD, I put the whole set on my Netflix list. This Australian movie was made as a “mockumentary” about …

In 2000 a mini-series came out that ran over the course of three nights and it was called “The 10th Kingdom”. It was a pressing story line that had to deal with magic, romance, adventure, and a girl trying to find her way back home. The mini-series has become …

Superior 71 Drive-in Theater
I am reviewing the Superior 71 Drive-in Theater located between Okoboji and Estherville, IA. This drive in has been in operation for only two years, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I am in my twenties, but I have always loved the idea of …
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
This movie has got to be one of the most distracting, annoying, over developed, load of crap that I have ever had the torture of watching in my entire life. From the opening scene, even though things started off pretty and grand, it made a very hasty effort to …

27 Dresses movie
The best way to describe “27 Dresses” is a similarity to Jennifer Lopez movie “The Wedding Planner” only much, much better. Interesting to know is that the actress, Judy Greer had supporting roles in both movies. Although it is a romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” is an entertaining movie addressed …
K-Pax
I am reviewing the movie, K-Pax, starring Kevin Spacey. This movie asks the question, is there life on other planets? It explores just that. Kevin Spacey plays Prot, a being claiming to be from another planet. He is brought in to see a psychiatrist and stays …

Kingsman: The Secret Service (action adventure spy movie)
Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …
Monster House movie
They certainly make some weird movies these days… A dead woman?s spirit possesses a house; the house comes alive on Halloween, with its windows serving as eyes, door as mouth, and a long red carpet as tongue. It swallows people, especially kids. The woman, you see, was morbidly obese, …
The Aviator Movie

Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman plays the young couple desperate to have a baby together. When it finally is going to happen, the husband finds out he’s diagnosed with cancer and their whole world breaks apart. A typical overly sentimental film, that is so boring to watch because of …
Erin Brokovich Movie
I saw this movie twice and was very impressed by Julia Roberts’ acting. She isn’t one of my favorites, which I don’t think is her fault. Since ‘Pretty Woman’ she has been a bit typecast. Most movies I’ve seen her in have been very light and …
Sex InThe City-Complete Series Gift Set
For a little under $200, you can own every single episode of Sex in the City ever made. This television show was highly popular on HBO for many years, and at one point was the only reason I subscribed to cable in my home.
This are great episodes to watch …
Who Will Love My Children? movie
I clearly remember when Who Will Love My Children? was shown on TV in 1983. There was lot of buzz about it. This is a movie based on a true story, a remarkably touching and emotional true story about a woman named Lucile Fray. She and …
