The Jacket (2005 movie)
This is a very confusing thriller if you don’t pay close attention to detail. It also shows what could happen in a mental institution that has a lack of morality and responsibility. This movie shows what happens to one such patient. He is convicted under cause of insanity for …
Tammy (2014 Film)
Tammy is a comedy film I decided to watch after being persuaded to see it one evening. I tend to enjoy a good laugh, and I had my expectations already set in place. My review will contain spoilers
The movie is a rather goofy movie in my opinion. One that …

Vacation (2015 Comedy Adventure Movie)
If you’re like me and you loved many of the National Lampoon movies, you were probably very eager to watch the 2015 movie “Vacation”. The thing about the movie is that it was the fifth in the list of National Lampoon’s Vacation series and it is supposed to be a …
Life of Pi, movie
‘Life of Pi’ the movie has garnered many positive reviews mainly through the ears and mouths of my friends. In the midst of my important year, my ‘A’ levels year, I decided to watch this movie due to me being a movie freak and me being tired of studying. …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
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 …
Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …
Friends With Money Movie
I enjoyed this movie a lot. The concept is unique–what happens when one person in a group of friends is in a drastically different socioeconomic status than the rest of them? The characters were both believable and interesting at the same time. I liked how Jennifer …
Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh Movie
It was because of Candyman why I avoided taking a shower for a week as a kid. I was afraid to be alone in the bathroom, much less pass by a mirror where I knew he would jump out and get me. I really liked the first movie and I …
The Amazing Spiderman (movie)
Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …
Movie High School Musical 3
Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …

9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …
Tales of the Crypt: Bordello of Blood
In the late nineteen nineties and the early 2000s, I became a very big fan of the series and the Tales of the Crypt movies. One of my favourite movies at the time was the one called Bordello of Blood. I watched it recently though and thought that it …

A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …
License To Drive (1988)
When I was a teenager back in the eighties, I thought the “Two Coreys” (Corey Feldman and Corey Haim) were the funniest guys around. I have seen every one of their movies, and still watch them to this day. One of the funniest movies of the ’80s, and just …

Movie : Shutter Island

It was OK but I’m not sure it was as good as she expected.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as …
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 Film)
2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …
Movie Inglourious Basterds
After the underwhelming Kill Bill Vol. 2 and the shockingly poor Deathproof I had begun to think that Quentin Tarantino had forgotten how to make great movies. Where was the revolutionary, wunderkind director who changed the face of modern cinema?
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction seemed to be but memories …
Non-stop (2014 Film)
Non stop is one of those movies that does a great job in making you paranoid in your everyday routine. After watching it, I was left with deep thoughts and a deeper insight about flying on airplanes. It’s said to be an action, mystery, thriller. Seeing that Liam Neeson was …
Big Fat Liar
“Big Fat Liar” is the living proof that you can make a great movie without having big actors in it. The main actors of this movie are the young actors, Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes who up to 2002, when the movie was produced, they were not very much …
Hostel: Part II (2007)
Three American female students are lured to a hostel in Slovakia where terrible things happen to people. Pickup up from where the first one left off, this sequel as most sequels do, does not live up to the previous movie.
While on the train to Prague, they encounter bad mannered …
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Movie)
Percy Jackson and the lightning thief is a movie derived from the book of the same name. I have been a fan of Rick Rodian’s Percy Jackson series ever since I knew of its exsistance and so when I heard the movie was out I was really excited to …
Fall from Grace Movie Documentary
Fall from Grace is a disturbing documentary about an even more disturbing group of people. The Rev. Fred Phelps and his family are quite possibly the most hated family in America. They are fundamentalist Christians, who, along with their Congregation, picket soldier’s funerals waving large signs proclaiming …
Meet the Parents, movie
Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …

Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
“Couples Retreat” (2009 movie)
There is nothing left of the romantic comedy genre. It’s been on the decline for at least the past decade, with the odd exception that actually mixes the pathos and exhilaration of love lost and found with comedic coincidence and the kind of zany antics that for the most …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Max Payne
I can’t help to mention that Max Payne is just a stupid movie. I wish that it could have been better so that I could give a real positive review, but watching this from start to finish at the cinema was just a waste of time. I wasted …
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, movie
Before we start, I should probably give some background on my stance regarding the franchise as a whole. That way you can know where I’m coming from when discussing the movie as a whole. I did finally decide to check the show out on Netflix a while back. …

The Rookie movie
If you enjoy watching classic action movies, with tough and uncompromising characters, this one is for you. Despite the fact that it was created 18 years ago, this film is still fun to watch. It tells the story of a young inexperienced cop David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen)and his stern …

Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 Theater Sacramento, CA
Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 is the only theater near my house. Its located right on the boarder of a bad neighborhood. I would never go to this theater at night by myself. There is a rough crowd that hangs around it a night. The theaters always smell really bad, …
Bleak House (2005)
At first, I was not sure whether I liked the new Bleak House (released in 2005) better than the old version I have in my collection of classics (the 1985 Masterpiece Theatre production). I was so used to the old version that it took me some time to warm …
Movie Up
Pixar’s Up is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie begins with a summary of the main character’s life, from his childhood when he wanted to be an explorer. As he grew up to marry his best friend, his dreams of …
Unthinkable (movie)
Recently I watched a suspense movie named “Unthinkable”. One of the main reasons why it stood out was because it was more of a psychological thriller. I thought that this was unique since basic plots like these which have terrorist and the United States military tend to have a …
Funny People movie
Judd Apatow promised the world with Funny People and delivered an atlas. Not even a good atlas but a boring one without any pictures. If you saw the previews and advance publicity for this movie and were expecting a comedy, or even a few laughs, like myself you will …
