Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …
Enter The Dragon Classic Marshial Arts Movie Starring Bruce Lee
As time goes by and the inevitable process of growing up takes its course, certain things that I used to love back when I was smaller seem quite stupid now, especially some of the things I enjoyed like movies and television shows. The acting seems really bad, along with …
Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …

I like this …

Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.

Jurassic World - Sci-Fi Adventure Movie (2015)
Jurassic World is an amazing movie. Fortunately I chose to watch this movie in 3D. In 3D, you can’t help but feel slightly terrified by the roars of the dinosaurs as they attack and wreak havoc. I was hooked the entire 2 hours of the movie and can’t wait for …
La Vita E Bella (directed by Roberto Benigni)
I watched this movie about three or four times and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. It is one of those movies that you can never forget. I would describe it as a very delicate film, approaching very serious problems in a playful manner, but for this very reason …

Pinnochio movie
The movie ‘Pinnochio’ made me feel really disappointed. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful has been my all time favorite. I watched Pinnochio hoping that it would be as good as Life is Beautiful but I was utterly disappointed. Not in comparison with Life is Beautiful but the movie Pinnochio …

Munich: Movie
I found Munich to be a very interesting and well-made Movie, though partly down to my political interests.
It is truly an intriguing story, based on true events, for anyone with an interest in politics, war and undercover assignments.
The opening scenes of the Munich shootings at the 1972 Olympics are …

Love You to the Stars and Back (2017 Filipino Romantic Comedy Film)
I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …

20th Century Women (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …
Notorious (R, 2009) movie
I was a little worried about this movie because when biopics are made about famous people, it’s sometimes really hard to hire the right actors to do these kinds of roles. The actor must not only look like the artist, but must also embody the little nuances that …
“Nine” the movie 2010
I rented the musical “Nine” because of it’s stars– in particular, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, two of my favorites. I had seen Kidman in Moulin Rouge so I knew she could pull off a musical. I was a bit disappointed in the film. Now I have to admit, …

Strawberry Shortcake DVD
As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …
Saw (movie)

Spongebob Squarepants Cartoon

Hannah Montana 3D Movie

Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …

ABD Family’s Original Movie “Cyberbully” (2011 Film)
ABS Family came out with a movie in 2011 called Cyberbully. And I have to just say that this movie went beyond my expectations and brought viewers the type of movie that focuses on a key issue effecting young teens. I was surprised at how relatable the film was …

I don’t think I was fully prepared for what a wonderful film this would be. Set in ancient Mayan times, this film directed by Mel Gibson follows a tribe of Mayans who are in fight for their very existence when a neighboring tribe destroys their village and then …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …

Urban Justice
I personally thought the star of Steven Seagal was fading in the early to mid nineties. It seems as if someone keeps letting him make movies. Not that I mind him making more movies. But like this newest Seagal flick, Urban Justice proves, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen …
