All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
I love Kate Hudson’s movies. They’re the kind that you can just enjoy because of the theme. Most of her movies are romantic comedies and when i feel really stressed, all I need is a good laugh. Recently, I watched My Best Friend’s Girl. I have a lot of …
Final Destination 4
Before I watched the movie Final Destination 4, I expected that it would but the first three to shame. When I saw it as one of the coming attractions in the theatre when I went to see the movie District Nine, it appeared to be crammed with great visial …

The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
Benchwarmers movie
When I first saw the previews to the Benchwarmers, I thought it would be an OK movie but nothing different than the other baseball movies I’ve seen. After finally watching it, I have to admit it was a unique movie that was pretty funny.
The movie centers around three friends …

Easy Rider
Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
The Ruins (Movie )
The Ruins was a complete waste of time, which was sad because I really wanted to see it. I kept seeing the movie advertised and telling my friends how good I thought it was. I’ve never read the book the film was based on, but now that I’ve seen …
Hamlet movie
Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …

Sigma Die, Comedy Horror film by Michael A. Hoffman
Oh God, a horror movie that is trying to get the T&A in your face right away is always a bad sign in my book. Sigma Die is a real bad modern aged horror flick that adds blood, T&A, and a zero plot—¦oh wait a serial killer killing college …

I Am Legend
I must admit, I have never been much of a Will Smith fan…until this movie. With so few human interaction scenes (for most of the movie, he is with a dog), he pulled off the lonely, depressed person very well. The storyline is amazing and, at the …
Watchmen (2009)
Watchmen was a movie released in 2009 based on the enormously popular graphic novel with the same name. Personally I have not read the graphic novel, but I know many people who have and who said that the movie is an excellent interpretation. However, having seen the …

The first few minutes of the film are somewhat …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …

The Big Show movie
From 1936, Gene Autry stars in a double role in The Big Show. As the country singer and actor often did, his ‘nice’ guy role uses his real name of Gene Autry. In this case, he’s a stuntman who sings. His other part is that of …
Army Of Darkness
