300: Rise of an Empire (fantasy action movie)
I delayed watching the movie “300: Rise of an Empire” for two main reasons. The first was that I’d become very wary of sequels, since they generally don’t live up to the expectations of the viewer. The second reason was because I heard it wasn’t very good at all. After …

The Devil & Daniel Webster Movie
You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …

Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie

Bedazzled
I watched Bedazzled the movie on TV when my local channel broadcast them not so long ago.
If I’m correct, the movie was during the year 2000 and I did not manage to watch it at the cinema. Instead, I caught it on TV and it was surprisingly …

Hide and Seek (2005 movie)
I don’t really get the gist of this movie, it’s one of those films that just doesn’t make any sense. From the beginning, things just didn’t add-up, people were dying…claimed to be killed by the little girl’s imaginary friend. One would not begin the believe that the killer was …

Boogie Nights movie

The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
Brief Crossing (NR, 2001) film

13: Game of Death (Movie)
This was actually a pretty good movie and I was surprised that I liked it because I usually don’t like Japanese imports. Technically this one is from Thailand, but I didn’t realize that until I went to change the subtitles on the movie.
The movie is all about this …
Hot Rod (the movie)

Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …
Superbad (R, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my new hero. After seeing how funny he was in “The Forty Year-Old Virgin”, and then how endearing he was in “Knocked Up”, I knew that “Superbad” would be a hoot. He wrote and had an acting role in the film, which …
Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …

Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.

The Ballad of Jack and Rose
Before last year I had ever heard of this film. In fact, when I first saw the title of it on the televsion guide I had mistaken it for a romance movie which I think might have been set in the mid nineteenth century. However, when I watched the …
Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …
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. …
Inception Movie (2010)
The last movie I saw was Inception (2010). It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne),Tom Hardy (Eames),Ken Watanabe(Saito) Dileep Rao (Yusuf) and Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, Jr.). This is by-far the best mind bending movie I have seen in a long time.
I think …

Wall-E
Pixar’s always done great work. Even with their already high bar, they raised it with Wall-E. Not only did they raise it, they did it with only half a script.
I kid you not, the first half of this film is practically dialogue free. When I heard …
The Birds movie
The Birds is a movie about people on an island where the birds, for no reason, go wild and begin attacking everyone. The Birds starts off quite normally, with a beautiful young woman shopping at a pet store for Mynah birds. That is the irony of this film, and …

2012 movie
I have just watched 2012 on HBO the other day and I Just had to do a review about it. Basically, the story has this plot: Ever since, it has been said that the end of the world will come on 2012. Even the Mayans have believed in this. …
Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison. Forman uses an epic style to tell this story, and that works very …
