Jean Reno starrs as the assassin Leon in this popular film from the early 90s. What is most memorable about the cast is the energetic Natalie Portman as the little girl who comes to live with Leon when her parents are killed by the psychopath played by the always …

OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …

Stories or movies from Old California are dear to my heart, being raised in Southern California through my childhood. I think that if a double-feature were in order, this movie should be coupled with The Three Amigos. The comedy is similar.
The comedic strength in this movie stems from brilliant …

This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …

I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …

This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …

Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …

Dhoom 2 is the sequel of hit film dhoom. It has Hritik Roshan in lead role and Aishwarya Rai as lead actress. The movie is about a thief who likes to steel all kinds of masterpiece. He is follow by a cop played by Abhishek Bachchan. The film has …

Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …

The Pursuit of Happyness is based on a true story. It tells of a single father struggling to raise his son in the Reagan era. Will Smith surely should be nominated for an Oscar for his role as Chris Gardner, a medical sales man, who lives from …

All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …

This movie grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let go until you reach the very end. It captivates you and it keeps on giving that true movie experience. You want to see what happens next, you want to see where the movie is leading, you want to find …

Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …

The movie is the story about cheerleaders, giving you a look at their lives and the sport they are involved in, plain and simple, nothing complicated, nothing magnificent, nothing glorified, just plain old cheerleaders doing what they do best. It is a comedy at that, with a nice little …

Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …

First when I decided review this movie; I had no idea where to start and what to write because the stream of mixed feelings came to my mind about it. A few days ago, when I was with my friends, they asked me to join them; even though I …

And I laughed too. A lot.
This a surprising, fun, funny, touching play. It is a bitingly satirical look at Hollywood stardom. That makes it sound somehow predictable and dull - but I assure you it is far better than the synopsis.
It stars Rupert Friend as Mitchell, a Hollywood actor …

DNAngel Episode 5 has Risa and Riku switching places with each other after Risa fails in cooking class. Daisuke has to peal cabbages too and tries to get out of it to get to his next thieving assignment.
This was a pretty fun episode. I enjoyed it and it …

I was not intending to write a review of this film, but I am afraid that I simply have to do that. I watched it tonight, and, I will put it out there right away: I have wasted a rather big amount of time. I do not want my …

After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.

In the movie, the teenage twins David …

While searching the internet one day to see if there were cheaper movie theatres in my city that I didn’t know about. I came upon Ridgmar Movie Tavern. I had seen this place and drove by it many times but had never went in.
I decided to give Ridgmar …

A film about the life of an ordinary family in Tokyo, anime style.
The film was directed by Isao Takahata, well known around the world for his Grave of the Fireflies. The difference between Takahata and Miyazaki for example is very big. Takahata’s films are based in the real world, …

This fantasy tale stars Jet Li and Jackie Chan. The story’s not exactly original, a mystical artifact transports a 20th century teenager who’s into Kung fu movies back to ancient China to embark on a mystical quest. There’s a bit of backstory about a monkey king who …

This is one of my favorite movies that lifetime has ever played. It’s not my favorite but it definately is one of them. It’s about a woman whose husband goes ahead tells the doctor to do a hysterectomy on her. Well she really wanted a baby and it seems …

I am reviewing the movie, Without a Clue, a Sherlock HOlmes movie starring Ben Kingsley as Dr. Watson, and Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes. This movie was produced in 1988. This movie is quite different from any Sherlock Holmes film you’ve scene. What’s the main difference, you ask? …

I love thriller, horror and drama movies but for the life of me I cannot classify this movie. I had a problem with the first scene. When the movie started Kristen, the main female character, was crying but I never really understood why she was crying. I had to …

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to get your heart’s desire, then watch While You Were Sleeping. Just don’t expect your heart’s desire to look exactly how you thought it would.
Slightly woebegone Lucy (Sandra Bullock), is a token taker for the local commuter train. …

Well here is a movie that will fill your hearts with a so much joy that you will feel like tap dancing all the way home :). This movie certainly is one of the cutest movies of its times.

The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …

I think I watched almost every one of Johnny Depp’s later films before I finally got around to watching one of his first ones, Cry Baby. After seeing the movie for the first time, I can understand why it has become a bit of a cult movie.
While the overall …

I just watched Money Train yesterday and oh my God, that movie is awesome! Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez really deliver a humorous, dramatic and action packed sense of their characters. This movie kind of reminds me of Four Brothers in the sense that Snipes and Harrelsons …

Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …

I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …

I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon! I thought it should be pretty cool in 3D. I was right! It impressed me right away, literally within the first minute or two. Then it kept getting better throughout the movie.
I wasn’t sure how I would like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for …

This is definitely a must see movie if you a fan of gruesome horror. This is probably one of the bloodiest and most disturbing movie that I have seen in a long time!
It has a great story behind it. A pregnant woman loses her husband in a …

Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Man of the House, starring Chevy Chase and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. This movie is a classic. It is about a little boy (Thomas) whose father leaves he and his mother at a young age. As the little boy grows up, he and …

Frank Sinatra starred in this 1968 vehicle called The Detective. He plays Det. Sgt. Joe Leland. Now frankly I’m not fond of Sinatra’s serious roles. I do enjoy him in musicals and lighter fare, but I’ve never been a fan of his more earthy roles as …
