Movie V for Vendetta
This movie was a tough one. It is at times confusing, at times preachy, and at times extremely disturbing, but I am glad that I stuck it out and I would reccommend that you do the same.
This film is of the genre of apocolyptic futures: it portrays where …
GroundHog Day
Aw, this is an older movie but I think that the whole family would enjoy it. It has Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s about a guy who keeps waking up and living the same day over and over again. Talk about a drag ! But Bill Murray does …
Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.
Cruise plays a hermit who is called on to face the Prince …
Movie: Police Academy 2
Synopsis: The Police Academy cadets have graduated and are now serving their rookie year on the force. Unfortunately, they also have to stop a notorious gang from terrorizing the city.
What I liked about this movie: I think the person who steals the show in this movie is Bobcat Goldthwait, …
Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …
Braveheart movie
Being a former history major, I absolutely love movies based in historical times; especially when they are about legendary characters. Braveheart is a movie that has all the qualities I look for in a historical movie. It?s an accurate portrayal of the hero but still takes some liberties with …
Interstellar - Movie (2014)
I had the privilege of seeing Interstellar in theatres yesterday. I had high expectations for the film, given that Christopher Nolan is the director. I was not disappointed, I was actually amazed. Interstellar had a great story and the visuals were a treat. I’m glad I had the chance to …
Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machine Movie
This film failed in comparison to the two previous films. Not only did it fail to live up to the other two it introduces a female Terminator with limited technological advancement. The T-1000 of Judgement Day was the best of all Terminators. The conclusion to the trilogy left viewers …
Happily N’ever After DVD
We just bought this on DVD. It looked kind of funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver, Andy Dick, Freddie Prince Jr. and others lend their voices to the cast. Which, by the way, really was beautifully cast!
The animation …
The Ant Bully Movie
When the movie The Ant Bully first came out on DVD, I kind of resisted watching it because I didn’t think it was going to be any good. However, my daughter recently had a family movie night at her school (which was actually a seminar about bullying but they …
My Bloody Valentine
Have you guys watched the 3D movie, My Bloody Valentine? I was so scared out of my mind watching this and since it is on 3D, it makes it all the more scarier especially when the psychotic killer throws the axe at the victims.
You feel like you …
Batman series: The Dark Knight
What do you know?
It actually lived up to the hype. I was having second thoughts whether or not I should watch this movie but since I was with a friend who wanted to see it, I was forced.
Any boy was I thankful.
The movie started with The Joker robbing the …

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
Shakespeare in Love
I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …
Just My Luck, Donald Petrie Movie

Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …

Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …
One Step Away (Romantic Thriller)
I was bored on a Sunday afternoon and I decided to switch to the movie channel to see what’s on there. I am lucky because a movie is just starting so I can watch it without missing any parts.

Bratz Kidz Sleepover Adventure
My daughter absolutely loves the Bratz. It doesn’t matter if it’s a doll or the latest movie, she needs to have it.
When Bratz Kids Sleepover Adventure came out on DVD, I was a good parent and kept my promise to rent it for her. Big mistake.
The movie has …

Robots movie
I first saw Robots when it came out at the theater and instantly fell in love with it. You can’t go wrong when Robin Williams voices one of the main characters, especially when you back it up with lots of color and a unique plot.
The movie takes place on …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
Captain Fantastic (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
This year is the year of surprises for me. I have expected many films to be great, such as Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and they end up not matching my expectations. However, films such as Sing Street, Swiss Army Man, Hunt for the …

Movie Superbad
I watched this movie about two nights ago. It was a lot better than I though it was going to be. There were quite a few funny parts, and it was just fun to watch. Some of the parts weren’t really funny but you enjoyed watching it and it …
The Cabin in the Woods (2012 film)
Just hours ago I watched The Cabin in the Woods with my sister who entreated for my company. I obliged to go see the movie because of the things I had read in highbrow film periodicals that made me curious. I probably would have viewed a different …

Thor The Dark World Film
What happens when the gods lose their power to something more powerful and ancient than themselves, something primal - the complete darkness? “Thor :The Dark World” is a film in which I think that the team of Marvel reaches a whole new level in their skills… Expertly served storyline …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (movie)
The Time Traveler’s Wife is a movie starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. It is based on the novel by the same name which was written by Audrey Niffenegger.
In the movie, Henry (Bana) has a genetic abnormality that causes him to time travel. He cannot …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …

Evita movie
I was amazed that I enjoyed Evita starring Madonna so much. I’m not a Madonna fan, which isn’t to say that I don’t recognize her talent. There are times when I hear her sing when I go, ‘whoa, she really *can* sing’ but then there are times …

“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film
I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.
I had the privilege to attend a charity screening event attended by Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley (the main actors in the film). It was an event I’ll …
The Movie Cars
I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
White Chicks
White chicks is the movie tell about the undercover FBI agent to caught the bad guy like usually. But, because it’s a drama comedy movie, the whole scene is full of funny scene that make me laugh, because the two negro FBI agents Marcus (Marlon Wayans) and Kevin (Shawn …
The Mark of Zorro (1940)
Filmgoers today associate “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas but, as wonderful as Banderas is in the title role of the more updated version of this film, he can’t hold a candle to the original “Mark of Zorro” star Tyrone Power, who is just magnificent in this movie.
Power was at the …
Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …
