Bram Stoker’s The Mummy
I honestly think there should be a law against Hollywood basing a movie off of a classic piece of literature and then making a film that doesn�t resemble the book at all.
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy is based off of his book The Jewel of the Seven Stars. While I …
“Star Wars: Phantom Menace” (1999 Film)
The 1999 film “Star Wars: Phantom Menace” was just as wonderful as the other films before it. I didn’t think that I would be a fan of the Star Wars movies, but each time I watch a new one I find myself falling in love with them all over …
Wild Target 2010 movie
Failure of a hitman is not a situation that you could assess it as “funny.” However, it is perfectly possible in Wild Target, applying the opus of the typology “ordinary people put in extreme situations.”

Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (R, 1992) movie
I really didn’t think I’d be watching this movie more than a decade after it was released. And I’m kind of sorry that I did. The girl playing Chantel was attractive and authentic enough. And even the storyline was pretty authentic. I didn’t …

A lot of people love the 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo. I’m one of them. Nemo is a stirring story of the love between a father and a son, a relationship that seems to be missing in a lot of movies and television shows. The real …

The 1961 movie, The Parent Trap, is one of my very favorite motion pictures. I own the DVD and watch it frequently. It’s family, and it’s fun.

81st Annual Academy Awards Night
Yesterday, I had the privilege to watch the so-called biggest Awards Night in the movie industry, the Oscars. One of the biggest media network in our country decided to air it in the Philippines via satellite. I was excited and exhilarated because I’ve been looking forward for this year’s …

The Daybreakers (R, 2010)

The World’s End 2013 Movie
Every month there’s a movie release offering at least a couple of stories where human civilization is threatened by a dark force that is ultimately neutralized with more or less physical or intellectual effort.

Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
Valentine movie
Valentine with David Boreanaz and Denise Richards.
This horror clone of Friday the 13th is an entertaining flick, but since it has been preceded by many similar works of the same pattern it loses its attraction. Generate an unknown masked killer with a grudge. Insert …

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 …
The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …

Sin City Spoke To My Soul
It’s rare that I watch a movie and actually develop an opinion about it or respond emotionally to it. Well, I saw Sin City a few days ago and I am totally ambivalent towards it. I’ll say right now that it gets a 5, and here’s why: …
For Those Who Think Young movie
Movies in the early to mid-sixties often dealt with one thing; well, maybe two — the beach and young love. That’s exactly what 1964’s For Those Who Think Young is about. It stars James Darren and Pamela Tiffin. Darren plays Gardner ‘Ding’ Pruitt III. He’s …
Red Eye Movie
This seemed like a very interesting story, not really your average suspense movie as it does have a bit of action involved. The movie is about a girl who’s a hotel manager (Rachel McAdams) and she just goes home for a vacation and meets a nice young man (Cillian …
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a blood and guts horror film about a group of kids being chased around by a chainsaw wielding, crazy man. There is a plot, yes, but it is thin and not the reason why you should watch this movie. I also want to be …

Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …
Mother and son movie
This is a film by the russian cinematic artist Alexandr Sokurov and tell a very slow story about a young man and his sick mother. Sokurov paints his film in stunningly beautiful images and overall I think this feels more like observing a painting than seeing a film, but …

Earth (2007) movie

Fred Claus
I watched “Fred Claus” today with my family. It was an overall pretty good movie. I wouldn’t give it a ten or anything but it is worth watching, especially around the holidays and Christmas. It has Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamitti, Kevin Spacey, and Kathy Bates. You would think with …

Two for the Road: A Stanley Donen Film (1967)
This is definitely my favorite Stanley Donen film. I watched this movie last New Year’s Eve, and though, I was willing to let go of those bygone memories, I never could forget “Two for the Road.” Because I love Audrey Hepburn, there’s no other particular reason that …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Definitely, Maybe movie
I normally have no interest in watching romance movies, especially romance comedy films. However, the only thing which attracted the romance comedy “Definitely, Maybe” was in the first place was the fact that the comedy actor Ryan Reynolds was going to be in it. Thus of course, I expected …
Creature From the Black Lagoon
I remember seeing a photo of this creature in a monster magazine and remarking how scary it looked. Well it was not that scary in this classic film. I liked the opening scene in which it explained the Big Bang theory and leading up …

Friday the 13th Part 3
Friday the 13th part 3 is a movie that makes me laugh, though not in a good way. Part of it is the bad special effects, while a larger part is simply how dated the movie is after all these years. It makes me wonder how they ever based …
Drake & Josh Go Hollywood
This is probably the third time I’ve watched the TV movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood and, I’m not sure why, but I’m finding it to be one of the dumbest possible movies ever.
I mean the whole premise of the film doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. First, …
Zip.ca Movie Service
I have had a subscription to Zip.ca for about four months. I live in a rural area, so I like not having to rush into town to return movies as there are no due dates for titles as long as your membership is current.
I pay under $30 a …

This movie is about a man who does drugs and manages a night club, most of his family are cops. I think that the movie could have been a lot better. Even though there was a lot going on I was kind of bored through out the whole movie, …

The movie Twilight part one
The first Twilight movie sucked big time and there are so many reasons as to why this movie was just plain awful and the first reason would be the actors, because the actors who played ion Twilight really did a very bad job and didn’t bring any of the …
