Passenger 57
Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …
Big Daddy
I thought Big Daddy was a pretty good and funny Adam Sandler movie. I think the whole concept of him raising the kid was funny. The movie was not only funny but very touching! One thing I did not like about this movie though was that there were gay scenes …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice 2010 Movie
I don’t know about you, but I love fantasy and sci-fi movies. I just can’t get enough of them. When a new one comes out I’m either first in the theater or renting it as soon as it’s possible. I’ve seen them all, from the …
Split Second movie
Science Fiction comedy about a man played by Rutger Hauer who goes to look for a hideous monster in London and kill it.
Rutger Hauer is one of the absolutely coolest actors ever in my opinion, but this film is really way to thin and unlogical to convince me. Hauer …
Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
Funny it is, ’cause the movie “Fog” was really trying hard to be classically sophisticated sci-fi. Well, no it isn’t. Though, the graphics was seemed great and modern …
Film Beetlejuice
Few films are as wildly inventive as Tim Burton’s manic masterpiece Beetlejuice.
Telling the tale of Adam and Barbara (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), living in a small town and unable to have children, who are exiled after an unexpected death to live in their beautiful country home. It wouldn’t …

Batman and Robin 1997 Movie
Out comes another colorful Batman, but at least Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman did not return with the title. The title, Batman and Robin, was released in 1997 and was the ending to the sad existence that the Batman movie series had come to. It was not picked up …
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla had the potential to be an exciting and incredible Godzilla movie in my eyes, but something truly ruined it: the overuse of beam and energy weapons. Godzilla spends a good portion of this movie shooting stuff with his radioactive beam. MechaGodzilla spends a good portion of …
Pacific Heights
Lately I have been watching movies on lifetime and lifetime movie network and most of them have been pretty good. One that I want to recommend is called Pacific Heights. It has Melanie Griffith and Micheal Keaton in it. It’s about a guy who rents a room from this …
The 10th Kingdom miniseries/movie
Maybe I’m a little late in reviewing “The 10th Kingdom” miniseries, but seeing as it’s the ten year anniversary of when it aired on NBC, I figured I’d share my thoughts. I recently watched the DVD of “The 10th Kingdom”, and it’s the first time I’ve seen the movie …
Superbad (movie)
Unless you are a high school/college student or an intensely teen-hearted adult, this movie has nothing to offer you. It is nothing but two hours of dialogue about drugs, alcohol, and degrading comments about women; step foot onto any college campus in the nation, and you will be able …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …
Hills Have Eyes Movie
I’m a big fan of horror movies. I love being scared and wondering what is going to happen next. So of course I had to rent the DVD “The Hills Have Eyes. The overall concept of the movie sounds scary, all american family get lost in …
I’m Not There movie
This movie, for those of you out of the loop, is about Bob Dylan. The name is taken from an obscure Bob Dylan song that the director, Todd Haynes, went on an epic journey to find a studio recording of, only to find one in Neil Young’s basement.
It stars …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …
Themroc movie
A very unusual french film almost completely without dialogue. This is all about how people act instead of what they say, and in that sense I have to say it is really impressive. The story is that of the crazy man Themroc, who acts like some madman with compassion …
From Beyond movie
Splatter movie from the same team who did Re-Animator for example. Just as with that film the story is very naive. A doctor and his friend goes mad and starts experimenting on themselves in hope of getting to a new dimension through the brain. This dimension is filled with …
Accattone movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most controversial filmmakers of his time, mostly for his extremely grotesque depiction of Marquis de Sades novel The 120 days of sodom, but also because he was openly homosexual which wasn’t fully accepted in Italy back then. Pasolini was murdered for mysterious …

Green Zone
Green Zone movie is based on the American invasion of Iraq and the truth behind it. I reckon its one of the best Non-Friction movie made this year and the truth behind the Iraq war has really been well told by the movie. Really liked the Matt Damon’s acting …

Resurrecting The Champ (PG-13, 2007) movie
I had heard of this film. But when I saw that Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson starred in it, I figured it was one of those movies in which the black man portrays a lost, but heroic figure. And the white man comes to save the day …

Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …
Evan Almighty movie
This movie, a sequel in premise only to the earlier Bruce Almighty, is a fun PG rated film to enjoy with the whole family. Morgan Freeman once again plays God, with of course the ability to appear and reappear at will to whomever he desires. Steve Carell reprises his …
Big Fish movie
“Big Fish” is a very unique film starring Ewan McGregor. When I say unique, I really mean unique. It is a very hard film to describe without spoiling the plot.
Pros: Tim Burton certainly used all of his creative juices in directing this film. The film includes …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
The Freedom Writers movie
I never knew this movie existed till I watched it on Fox Movies channel on cable just last night and wow, I just want to say that it is really a great movie. Cinemas nowadays are just filled with films and movies that just don’t have the depth. And …

The Green Hornet, Blu-ray Superhero action comedy film
Who is to blame for the Green Hornet movie? Can we blame director Michel Gondry for coming back to the project after he rejected it back in 1997? Or can we blame all of the countless delays that start with writers bailing out to simple crew members? Maybe we …
The Singing Nun movie
Debbie Reynolds stars as The Singing Nun, known in the movie as Sister Ann, and she did a fantastic job. The movie is based on a true story, though like most movies of its kind, a lot of liberties on the plot have been taken. True or …
Four Rooms (R-1995) movie
Anyone who’s a fan of Madonna or Quentin Tarantino has probably found their careers to lead them to a film called Four Rooms. It’s basically a vignette of sorts: Four rooms in a hotel are rented out on New Year’s Eve, to four groups of guests. The …
“Bruce Almighty” (2003 Film)
What happens when a negative man who feels as though God is out to get him gets the power of God and must therefore do God’s job? The 2003 comedy “Bruce Almighty” happened. This film was funny and very insightful to how much we can sometimes make situations all …

Predator 2
It’s rare that I enjoy a sequel more than I enjoy the original and it is even less common when the original is good, but this is an exception. Predator is a movie all about action. There are some smart points and probably some social commentary though I didn’t …
Twilight the movie
I’ve seen this movie just this year when I bought this DVD. My friends advised me to watch the movie because it seemed that they were totally hooked and amazed to the story. Frankly, I am not a vampire fan and this is the first time that I watched …

Star Trek (2009, J.J. Abrams)
First off let me get one thing quite clear: I’m not a Trekkie. I AM a self-confessed sci-fi geek but have just never been into Star Trek.
I like the borg, an inspired concept. The Enterprise looks cool. Scotty was amusing and Spock was Spocky. But that’s about it. I …
