Resident Evil 3: Extinction
Ok. Why does it some like most movies nowadays focus on destroying the world? Well, Resident Evil Extinction presents a barren wasteland of a world, taking place mostly in the desert and Las Vegas. Alice does mildly explain the bare bones …
DVD: Girl with a Pearl Earring
I recently watched the DVD of “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (2003). Directed by Peter Webber, who recently directed “Hannibal Rising”, the movie tells the story of a young woman, a girl really who served as the model for the famous Vermeer painting of the same name.
Scarlett Johansson …
Coffee & Cigarettes movie
Jim Jarmusch is probably the most successful american independent filmmaker ever, with great films like Down by Law and Mystery Train on his record, and recently he decided to recreate his old classic short film series Coffee & Cigarettes in a full feature format, and add a number of …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot
I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about what this show was going to be like before watching the first episode. We have a cast of practically new actors who are playing familiar characters we all know and love, Sarah and John Connor in particular. For those of …
Sunset Boulevard (1950) Movie
I love this classic old black and white movie and watch it every time it comes on TV. Directed by Billy Wilder (who also directed the fabulous Some Like it Hot amongst others), it tells the story of fictional silent movie star, Norma Desmond - played very melodramatically …
Silk
Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …
Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013 Film)
Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is a film, directed and written by Tyler Perry. I had heard and read my fair share about the movie, and I was honestly conflicted at first to see it. I knew that there was a lot of hype following the movie, given …
The Hunger Games movie
As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …
Bad Santa
This movie is simply disgusting. I don’t know what they were thinking when filming it? Hoping to spoil Christmas for everyone, and especially for kids? The mention of Santa in the title would certainly draw families and kids to see this - and they shouldn’t. The Santa here is …
Bee Movie
Yes..bee’s.The most highly organized ’society’ on this planet.Whats the downside to this when we put it in people perspective? Well thats what you’ll find out if you’re going to watch this movie.The story is about a little bee that is a member of a hive,a satirized people drone ’society’ …
Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
Friday the 13th
The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …
Skills Like This film

Ocean’s Thirteen
I did not enjoy Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve movie very much but I really did love the Ocean’s Thirteen movie. This movie is star studded. It involves several famous Hollywood actors that is very well worth the time and effort in watching the movie. The movie is about …
Happy feet movie
I got this movie free as a gift. I was a bit weary about letting my children watch this movie because of the talking penguins. I am very happy though that I caved in and let them watch it.It is a very inspirational movie that the whole family can …
Death Sentence (2007) Movie
Kevin Bacon stars in this movie with the interesting plot and weary execution. The film begins with a group of people sharing happy family moments. The audience gets to see how the boys grow up. And I suppose the montage seen through film and …
Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981)
Starring: Karin Well, Gianluigi Chirizzi, Simone Mattioli, Antonella Antinori, Robeto Caporali, Claudio Zucchet, Peter Bark, Anna Valente, Rainmondo Barbieri, and Mariangela Giordano.

“Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror” is so bad that I have to laugh… out loud as a matter of fact. This film is another one …
Blood Will Out movie
I am reviewing the movie, Blood Will Out, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True May, and was based off of the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
In this …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, film (2003)
Alan Moore has been the writer of some of most significant pieces of comic literature, yet his works have failed to be properly brought to the movie screen with success. He was very critical of films like V for Vendetta and Watchmen. He’s repeatedly refused to have …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …
Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie
I am also a twilight fan and came to love the book, the characters and the movie itself. I never miss to watch each of its episodes when it came out. The best Twilight Series that I’m so into is the Eclipse.
I think among the three episodes the last …
Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
Scary Movie 4
After seeing Scary Movie 4 this past weekend, I was glad to finally see a movie series that gets better with time. Since dumping the Wayan Brothers prior to the third movie, the plots in the Scary Movie series have gotten more mature and focus more on movie spoofs …
Scrooged (1988)
A wealthy, ruthless TV executive is the focus of this modern day remake of the classic tale of the story of Scrooge. As the story goes, this person is cold hearted and career driven to the point that no one likes to be around him yet alone work with …
Good Luck Chuck (2007)
When Chuck was a teenager and at a party at one of his friends house, he went into the closet to play the ’seven minutes of heaven’ game with a girl that really likes him but he refuses to have an sexual contact with her and she ends up …
The Guardian
Kevin Costner is one of my favorite actors. I will try to watch most of his movies. In the Guardian the co start is Ashton Kutcher, he is not one of the best actors out there, but Kevin was in this movie so I had to watch …
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I finally got a chance to watch the final Star Wars Prequel, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. And, while I was impressed by the special effects and the fighting, I was seriously disappointed at the movies failure to carry over seamlessly into the original Trilogy.
Set roughly 20 years …
Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …
Scent of a Woman
This is one of Hollywood’s classic movies which tackles a very difficult argument about living life to the full and suicides. What I really like about this movie is Al Pacino excellent performance of the role Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade. It is no doubt that he won the Oscar …
No Reservations (2007)
This is the story of a day in the life of a master chef, taking solace behind the scenes she is more at ease preparing the meals for her clientele than basking in the glory of comments that might come her way. A typical day finds her going to …
Thunderball movie
The fourth 007 film shows a Sean Connery who seem to be getting tired of this role, but it still a marvellous film, superior to those made the last five or ten years. It’s most memorable for it’s spectacular stunts under water, that I believe have never been done …
Taking Chance (2009)
This movie chronicles the voyage of a fallen marine from his departure from battle to the return of his remains to his home town for burial. Starring Kevin Bacon as a volunteer escort, we see from his vantage point, all the lives that were touched by this one particular …
Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
Sudden Impact
Sudden Impact with Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke.
Vigilante justice is a great movie theme. Mix this concept with the Dirty Harry Callahan persona and you have a real winner. Locke is avenging her and her sister’s rape ten years prior by shooting …
Still Alice (drama movie)
I was a little hesitant to watch the movie “Still Alice” because I thought that a story about someone experiencing early onset Alzheimer’s Disease was bound to be too frightening and depressing for me. The idea of losing myself and my memory especially at a young age is one of …
Valentine’s Day movie
The movie Valentine’s Day is named perfectly and this movie truly qualifies as a romantic comedy in true sense. It has been a while that I have seen such a multi starrer movie. In my opinion the star casting of this movie is working mostly to its advantage. But …
Untitled Bryan Singer Thriller
I am sorry, it should be moved to another side a solid place; then, Hitler watch humpback ninety maps, bomb explosions rock blocked the shock table, side table, four individuals died on the spot, Hitler big frightened, but unharmed.
For Stauffenberg’s assassination of action, something very few characters, even if …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …
The Venture Bros Season 2 DVD
The Venture Bros is definitely my favorite TV show these days. Its unusual brand of humor, along with its unique writing and excellent animation (especially by the usually low Adult Swim standards) make it one of the best things around these days when it comes to TV. …
In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
The Lobster (2015 Film)
Never in my life had I felt very weird and astonished at the same time after watching a film. A lot of times I felt very weird and strange though, one after watching Paolo Sorrentino’s 2015 film Youth, however, not feeling astonished at the same but rather awkward and looking …
Mr. Imperium movie
Mr. Imperium from 1951 was not a movie that I enjoyed overall. I just didn’t like much of it, including the ending, which I found to be depressing. Those who have read many of my movie and TV reviews will know that I prefer happy endings and …
The Ten Commandments Movie
The story of Moses who goes to fetch the ten commandments on the mountain of Sinai in Egypt. Great actors like Charlton Heston, John Carradine and Edward G. Robinson bear this story on their shoulders, a film which I honestly found quite boring. I am not a religious man …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 2
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood’s second episode starts off with Ed and Al in a train heading to the city of Liore. It flashes back to their time in Risembool to when they first perform alchemy for their mother, Trisha Elric. She dies in an epidemic and the boys …
Se7en (1995 Classic Thriller Film)
When everyone else is busy watching the seemingly endless mediocre movies put out by today’s filmmakers who happens to only entertain, I’m here digging up classics which I thought would be medicine to my ever needing needs for great films.
It’s been my tradition to watch classic films now and then. …
