Mrs. Doubtfire
Although both my parents are adamant that I watched this movie with them in the theater, my earliest memory of watching this movie was when I watched this on video at my cousin’s house when I was still a young child in the early nineties. I can’t remember thinking …
Troop Beverly Hills movie
I can’t believe I haven’t yet reviewed this wonderful comedy called Troop Beverly Hills which starred Shelley Long as Phyllis Nefler and Craig T. Nelson as her wayward husband, the muffler man otherwise known as Freddy Nefler. This movie wasn’t a critical success, but to me, it’s a …

Movie The Aviator
The Aviator is an extremely long movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film he portrays Howard Hughes, and although I normally do not like super long movies, this one is kinda good. I will state a fact, Leonardo Dicarprio can not consider me a fan of his work. I don’t …
Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man (2012)
I went to see this movie on its opening day. The main thing that made me excited to see it was how hilarious the promotional commercials for the film were- especially the scenes featuring Comedian Kevin Hart. Even though there was a small part of me that …
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer
I found the trailer to the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on youtube. For those who don’t know, this movie is based on the book and because the book was so long (over seven hundred pages), the movie will be in two installments. This …

The Raid Redemption (2011 movie)
I am a fan of international movies, so when I saw this movie called The Raid Redemption, I immediately looked it up in Youtube to look at the trailer. I liked it, and then proceeded to watch the movie. This movie stars Indonesian actors and was written and produced …
Immortals (movie)
I remember how excited I was to watch the movie “Immortals” when I first saw the trailer being advertised back in 2011. I had even made plans to see it with friends since I was so sure that the movie would be exciting and just up my alley. What …

Willow (1988 Film)

High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …

Journey to the Center of the Earth
I went to see this movie with my mom as kind of a mom/son date before leaving for school. I had never really been to a 3d movie so I thought it would be a neat one to try even if it was a coined a “kids movie”. We …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …
Lady & The Tramp
This simple story of two dogs getting together is made all the more unique because it is told from the point of view of the dogs. I found this fact to be charming. There have been many stories done in this manner, but I think Lady and the Tramp …
The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 (movie)
I did not get a chance to go and see Breaking Dawn part 1 while it was in theaters, so my anticipation had been building ever since I saw the previews for the DVD release. I, myself, did not end up purchasing the movie; instead, a relative of mine …

Are We Done Yet? (2007)
If ever a sequel was never to be made, it was this one, sometimes they just need to let it go and let the original do the work for them. In this movie, it picks up from where the original left off, Nick is now married to Suzanne and …
Farce of the Penguins (2007) Movie
Farce of the Penguins starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Saget was just that, “Farce.”
If one likes crude humor from cute cuddly cartoon characters then this is the movie for them. The whole story’s purpose was to be the parody of the movie, “March of the Penguins” which depicts …
Toy Story 3 (in 3-D)

Movie Gridiron Gang 2006
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I got a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from the character The Rock as Dwayne who played the football coach for a teenage group of troubled youths at a detention center. The exciting part of his character was how he expressed himself when …
Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …
Marley & Me (2008)
This movie starts off simple enough with a newly married couple finding their way in the world, firstly by moving to a newer, warmer city, finding jobs and then finding a place to call home. Everything was going well, that was until talks of a baby came up and …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
Clueless (1995)
Clueless (1995) is a comedy directed by Amy Heckerling and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA.

I know who killed me
I like Lindsay Lohan, that’s why I decided to watch this movie. Drama? Thriller? Comedy? Mistery? I don’t really know what to call this movie’s genre. It’s about a girl missing, abducted by a serial killer, and instead the found the missing identical …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …
Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Gil Gerad returns! Yes, after 25 years since the original series went off the air it survived as a huge hit in syndication and on its Sci Fi Channel run. This was a classic adventure series will cool, campy overtones in the first season and then it …
Poltergeist
When I was fourteen, this movie scared me. And I felt then, and now, that I don’t scare easily. Very few movies even give me the chills. But Poltergeist scared me, and at the same time thrilled me. It became somewhat of both an embarrassment and a disappointment that …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
Shaadi No.1
Shaadi No.1 is a comedy movie.The story is narrated around three husbands, three wives and three girl friends. I think the story is clear. David Dhawan, the director of the movie, showed the consequences that could be faced by husbands, if they cheat their wives and lag behind girl …

Employee of the Month with Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, and Dax Shepard.
