3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy with an almost universal appeal, simply because it is, at it’s heart, a great movie. The plot isn’t meant to appeal solely to women, or even towards men, as one would expect from a Judd Apatow Production. Instead, it is a movie …
Dora: Save the Day movie
It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.

Wanted DVD

Don Juan De Marco movie
I had thought I had seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies until I came across this one in Netflix. And, I was glad I found it.
This has to be one of Depp’s best roles (even though he didn’t get top billing for the movie; Marlon Brando did). He plays …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …

Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
Herbie Fully Loaded -DVD Release 2005

Avengers: Age of Ultron - Superhero Movie (2015)
Being a big Marvel fan, and having loved ‘The Avengers’ movie of 2012, I had high expectations for its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the movie was watchable, I was let down by a seemingly weak story line and lost acting. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie and I …
10 Cloverfield Lane, movie
Given the name of the film and the crew behind it, one wouldn’t be wrong to think that this was somehow related to the found footage giant monster movie, “Cloverfield”.
You can tell that it isn’t a direct sequel, but I did figure it was some kind of spin-off. …

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …

Scooby Doo on Zombie Island

This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
Maleficent (fantasy movie)

Salt Movie (2010)
