Shallow Hal movie
Shallow Hal is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jack Black stars as Hal the shallow guy who only cares about a woman’s body. I gotta say the movie made me laugh. The past where he said tells him to get a woman …
The Mist movie
I can quite honestly say that “The Mist” was the best horror film I have seen all year.

I am reviewing the movie, Waiting, which was released in 2005. This movie stars Ryan Reynolds as a waitor. The other waitors and waitresses at the restaurant are so bored on a day to day basis that they have invented a game involving showing their genitals around to …
Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …

The Usual Suspects (1995 Classic Film)
As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling. Over the past weeks I’ve encountered David Fincher masterpieces that I could definitely say inspired some of Nolan’s features, and this week someone recommended me a …
License To Drive (1988)
When I was a teenager back in the eighties, I thought the “Two Coreys” (Corey Feldman and Corey Haim) were the funniest guys around. I have seen every one of their movies, and still watch them to this day. One of the funniest movies of the ’80s, and just …

Hulk had another similar version released in 2003, directed by Ang Lee, starring Eric Bana as the Bruce Banner (The Hulk) and Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross. The story was about the origins of the Hulk. It was quite a hit during that period of time in 2003.

I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Film The Bank Job
The Bank Job is a retread of the tried and tested, ‘caper film with likable London criminals’ formula, in the same vain as the Italian Job, but with more banking, and no Michael Caine.
Now, although it has no new ideas there are good things about this film, not the …
Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 Theater Sacramento, CA
Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 is the only theater near my house. Its located right on the boarder of a bad neighborhood. I would never go to this theater at night by myself. There is a rough crowd that hangs around it a night. The theaters always smell really bad, …

blockbuster .com
I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …
The Illustrated Man (1969)
Ray Bradbury wrote the book The Illustated Man, which this movie is based on. It is a collection of stories. The book revolves around a man who is covered from head to foot in tattoos. Each tattoo tells a story.

The Bank Job (Movie)
This is a story based from the infamous 1971 London robbery. I love stories like these, not that I’m inspired to be a bank robber but more likely I love to find out the minds of these robbers like what they are thinking and how they go about plotting …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
Rocky IV
I haven’t watched any Rocky movies in a while. But, I was up with my daughter the other night and came across Rocky IV.
This is still one of the better Rocky movies ever made; even when it is cut up for television broadcast. Watching Rocky take on a guy …
Megafault movie
In honor of the late Brittany Murphy, my wife and I took the time to watch some of her movies that were available through Netflix Instant Watch; mostly because I didn’t want to bother sending for DVDs and waiting for them through the mail.
One of these movies was entitled …
Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …
Annapolis movie
When I rented Annapolis on DVD this weekend, I was expecting another great military movie. What I got was a good boxing movie with a little bit of military in the background.
Centering around the life of a U.S. Naval Academy recruit, Annapolis gave me an idea of what new …
The Damned movie
A story that focuses on rich german people during the World War II and how naive they were. Director Luchino Visconti is known for his long epic-style films, and this one is not an exception. The narrative is slow but yet very engaging. Visconti gives his audience a lot …
Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Anastasia movie
A woman played by Ingrid Bergman visits a town in New York and tells everyone she is Anastasia, the only survivor of the Romanov family in Russia that were executed during the revolution. Is she telling the truth or just having a delusion?
There is a lot of feeling in …
Raise Your Voice
I watched Raise Your Voice starring Hilary Duff the other day and it was not a bad story altogether. In fact, I enjoyed it very much. Her character name in this story is Terri Fletcher (nice name, I must say) and she goes to this school where music …
Friday The 13th
The film was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham, and released in 1980. The movie is about a camp called Camp Crystal Lake, a camp where years ago a little boy drowned, and now a killer is out for revenge. This is one of the best horror movies, …
New Capitol Cinema
I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …
The Perfect Man movie
“The Perfect Man” represents the perfect cast for the perfect romantic movie. The main actors in this movie, Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear and Chris Noth are totally great in this romantic comedy about two people who have never meet but were made for each other. This is definitely one …
Bean Movie
Although at some point in our lives we may relate to this almost non-speaking wobbley man in this movie named Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson) shown in 1997 (directed by Mel Smith), because of stupidity we commit every now and then, no one would dare admit it openly. …

Netflix
I worked at a video store for 3 years and so I got free rentals. However, the video store, “Hollywood Video”, didn’t really have everything I was looking for. Enter Netflix who has everything I could want. I keep thinking I’ll run out of stuff to want to watch …

It begin with a marry couple holly and Gerry ( Hillary swank and Gerard Butler) who always fight but …
Hostel, Eli Roth Movie
What happens if the two thoughts that together ‘fond of’ sadism meets? So a new Horror film that truly interfaces blood. Who is not familiar with Quentin Tarantino? Specialist’s films pleased with the alternative of blood and violence as the menu in the films. How do with Eli Roth? …
What Happens in Vegas
I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …

Death Race (Movie)
I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …
Tangled (Animation)
My daughter wanted to watch this movie so much! She would beg me every day to bring her to the theater to watch this movie. She even did her same old puppy eyes so I had no choice but to say yes. So I went to the theater to …
