Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok)
In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
What Happens in Vegas film
When I first saw the movie “What happens in Vegas” advertising to be released in theatres late last year I was a bit annoyed that they had released yet another romance comedy movie which I just knew was to going to be very funny or interesting. Another reason why …
Martian Kid movie
When I saw the movie “Martian Kid” on the cable guide last night, I immediately decided to watch it since I thought just the title of the movie sounded very interesting and promising, and I wanted to watch it since I thought that the title sounded very unfamiliar to …
Young at Heart movie
1954’s Young at Heart is one of my favorite movies. Interestly, though, I’ve changed how I liked it from when I was a little girl to how I like it as an adult. I always enjoyed it, but as a child, I wanted the resolution to the …
Drive Movie (2011)
I absolutely hated the Drive movie, but then the next day I went back to the movie theatre and watched it again. The fact is that is that the movie made me really care about the characters and it also made me want to figure it all out- and …
Mr. Woodcock
“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …
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, …
Because I said so
I watch ‘Because I said so’ with my mom, which was nice since I realized that my mom wasn’t that bad comparing to the people out there. The movie is about a mom and her three daughters’ and how the first two is happily married while the last one …
Glitter movie
Beautiful and gifted young female singer longs for and eventually achieves great fame, but, in her quest, faces loss and tragedy in love and life.
This is a typical formula movie plot used for decades in films, with the exception that it exceeds the others in sheer awfulness.
“Glitter” was made …
Valkyrie movie
Before I rented “Valkyrie” last night, I decided that it might be good, despite my dislike of Tom Cruise, because it has two things going for it that I like: it is based on a true story, and it is set during WW2, and I am a big fan …
“Two Thousand Maniacs” (1964 Film)
In the early ’60s, screenwriter and director Herschell Gordon Lewis created what became known as the “blood trilogy”- three overly-gory films that single-handedly created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. 1964’s Two Thousand Maniacs succeeded Blood Feast as the second installment to this classic trilogy. In my opinion this is …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
The Lego Batman Movie (2017 Animated Film)
I can still remember the time 3 years ago, almost the same day, I rushed to the nearest cinema because every critics loved The Lego Movie the moment it was released. I had no intention of watching it before but the reviews were so glowing that I was really tempted …
Pirahna 3D: The Movie
“Piranha 3D” was the predictable horror movie I expected it to be. It’s Spring Break, and a local small town is bombarded with sex-crazed and drunken college students at their lake. The main character, Jake, is the son of the local sheriff. She asks him to …
500 Days of Summer (2009 film)
I had first been interested in the 2009 film, 500 Days of Summer, because one of its main actors (Zooey Deschannel) has always impressed me in other films that she has done. However, her character Summer did little less then annoy and disappoint me. I constantly felt sorry for …
Sprung (1997)
Sprung, directed by Rusty Cundieff is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for some strong sexuality and language. The original release date was May 14, 1997 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy and stars Tisha Campbell as Brandy, Rusty Cundieff …
Coco Avant Chanel: A Film by Anne Fontaine (2009)
I waited a long time to grab a copy of this film. At last, I was able to watch it. I don’t think this movie falls into the fashion film category. Coco Avant Chanel is a biographical account of Grabrielle alias Coco Chanel’s life. It’s …
The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
Constantine
I recently watched the movie Constantine starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz, and it was very intense. Constantine(Keanu Reeves) are cursed with a gift of recognising half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human camouflage. After a failed attempt to end his life he is marked as …
Due South: Manhunt
For me, one of the big things I liked about Due South: Manhunt is that guest star Leslie Nielsen was able to show some of his dramatic abilities. For years, Nielsen did almost nothing but serious roles. Then he hit it big with the parodies like Airplane, …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
Borrowed Hearts
Borrowed Hearts is one of my all time favorite Christmas movies. My mom, sister and I have to watch it every year. You can now buy the DVD of this movie or watch it on tv during the Christmas season. It stars Roma Downey, Hector Elizondo, and Eric McCormack(from …
The Roommate (2011 Movie)
I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …
Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
Past the Bleachers
Past the Bleachers is a poignant and wonderful 1995 TV movie that starred Richard Dean Anderson and Glynnis O’Connor as parents trying to move on with their lives after their son had died. It’s a trying time. The two are trying to have another baby, but Anderson’s …
Men of Honor
Men of Honor was based on a true story according to the credits at the end. It deals with a man in the Navy that is discriminated against based on his color in part because he wants to be a diver. At one point our country was almost divided …
Short Circuit movie
Well, that was an old movie I haven’t seen in a while; Short Circuit. You know what, when this movie first came out, I thought it was pretty good. Now I have to think it is more annoying than anything.
Look, I like the concept of a robot getting struck …
Lake Placid 2
Lake Placid 2 is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time, which is strange because the movie isn’t supposed to be funny. It stars John Schneider from Dukes of Hazard as a small town sheriff is Maine. His ex-girlfriend comes to town to investigate rumors …
War of the Worlds (Movie)
The War of the Worlds! A fairly self-explanatory title that suggests destruction, possible alien invasion, and a most likely hero to the story. These are all things that you would expect, from a sci-fi like this. However, I became surprised when I viewed this picture film, that some of …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I have always been a Sex and The City fan and I was anxiously waiting for this movie to be released. Honestly, the story line is not that interesting. It’s quite an ordinary plot. However, as a Sex and The City fan, it’s always the other …
Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …
Death at A Funeral Movie (2010)
I saw this movie Death at the Funeral, the British version, a few years ago. it was really funny and filled with surprises. When I heard that Death at the Funeral was being remade as an American film, I immediately wanted to see it too just to compare it …
Date Movie
This movie is hilarious. Starring Allison Hannigan, this movie is like the Scary Movie series in that it makes fun of other movies but this time it’s parodies mostly revolve around romantic comedies and some others. These include Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Hitch, Wedding Planner, …
Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone
Well, first off, Evangelion 1.0: You Are Not Alone is part of the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is part of a 4 movie project to reboot the series, shaping the storyline to be easier understood by mainstream audience, as well as adding new characters and the …
Shrek Forever After in 3D Movie
My brother gave me passes for the premiere of Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the ogre-starring computer-animated movie franchise. We managed to see the 3D version.
One thing I can say about the movie is that it is definitely better than Shrek 3. There are more funny moments …
An Englishman in New York 2009
An Englishman in New York is a 2009 television movie which tells the story of the latter years of the great eccentric Quentin Crisp. The title of the drama is taken from the brilliant song by Sting which plays as the final credits are rolling. I was …

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
Barbie’s Princess and Pauper Movie
As a girl, I loved to get Barbie dolls for Christmas or my birthday. I had so many different outfits, dolls, and other accessories that went with the toys, but I was already an adult when the movies started to come out. So as one can imagine, I was …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
Ex Machina - Science Fiction Thriller Movie (2015)
Ex Machina is by far the best movie I’ve watched in 2015. I’ve watched it twice in theaters because I just couldn’t get over how amazing it was. (Some spoilers below)
The story is about a young man named Caleb Smith who works for Bluebook, a popular search engine, almost like …

Tesla - Comin’ Atcha Live! 2008 DVD
I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …

The Ultimate Gift
The Ultimate Gift (a recent 2007 release) proves once again that you can make a good - no, excellent - movie without blood, gore, sex scenes, and bad language. Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) is a trust fund kid who hasn’t worked a day in his life. Raised in wealth, …
Underdog movie
No one is more surprised than I am that Underdog is actually a good little movie. As a rule, I don’t like remakes or re-thinks that mess with the history of something I loved as a child, and I did love watching the Underdog cartoons as a kid.
Underdog …
