Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …

Tomorrowland (science fiction adventure film)
Tomorrowland was one of those movies that I was silly enough to be fooled into thinking was actually going to be good. After watching the trailer I thought, “This looks good. I wonder why I’m not hearing much about this movie”. After sitting through over two hours of it hoping …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
Batman series: The Dark Knight
What do you know?
It actually lived up to the hype. I was having second thoughts whether or not I should watch this movie but since I was with a friend who wanted to see it, I was forced.
Any boy was I thankful.
The movie started with The Joker robbing the …
Farewell to Harry movie
From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …
The movie Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies…. oh my goodness. There were so many Air Bud films that it was ridiculous. Now comes this one, yet another air bud movie that is so much like Snow Dogs that its sickening.
This movie is about 5 golden retriever puppies whose curiosity gets them landed in …
Conan the Barbarian
Up until very recently I was more familiar with the movie “Conan the Destroyer” than I was with its nineteen eighty two prequel “Conan the Barbarian”. However, I was finally able to see the movie “Conan the Barbarian” on cable television when the cable television channel G4TV aired it …
The Haunted Mansion movie
I wonder how this movie was made. As I think about it, something like this comes to mind: a bunch of movie-makers comes together and says - “Okay, let’s make a comedy flick. Let’s have a nice mansion with ghosts and dead guys in it, that seems to be …
Shaun of the Dead
Oh how I love this movie !! It is one of the best comedies out there. It would be great for a Halloween get together night. This has Simon Pegg and Kate Ashfield in it. I try and catch it whenever it’s on tv, but I may just have …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …
That Girl - Season Three DVD set

Blessed movie
I just got finished watching the movie “blessed” on lifetime movie network. It was an alright movie. Overall I didn’t really care for it that much. I would have rather watched something else. The end was pretty good though. The whole movie was alright, the end was the best …
Brown Sugar movie
Backwhen I was still in high school, the movie “Brown Sugar” seemed ot be a big thing amongst some of my peers. At the time I didn’t know what many people where talking about either since I neither heard about it nor saw it advertise. Poeple were even talking …
500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …

Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.
Master comedian Jackie Gleason plays a wealthy businessman who promises his spoiled son any toy he wants. …
Stay Alive, movie, dvd
What do you get when you cross video games and a faux legend of the blood countess, Elizabeth Bathory? You get an edge of your seat movie with a wonderfully brilliant and memorable cast as you follow their love, loss and fears through-out a video game that will leave …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)
I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …
12 Years a Slave (movie)
As I mentioned in a previous review, I’ve decided to watch some of the movies that have been nominated for awards this year both for my personal enjoyment and out of research and development because I have hopes to go into the movie industry someday. Out of the number …
Chorlette’s web
I watched the movie Chorlette’s web recently and I didn’t really like the movie at all. The movie which has Dakota Fanning in the lead role is just a mindless movie and it definitely doesn’t have any story at all. Dakota saves a piglet and she keeps it with …

Avengers: Age of Ultron - Superhero Movie (2015)
Being a big Marvel fan, and having loved ‘The Avengers’ movie of 2012, I had high expectations for its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the movie was watchable, I was let down by a seemingly weak story line and lost acting. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie and I …

The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …
Resident Evil movie
Resident Evil. As the name suggests we think we’re entering the world of survival horror…
Yes! That’s right. Because we’ve in mind the strong console Game “Resident Evil”. Really a success!
The question is: “Could a film reproduce the atmosphere of the king of horror videogames?”
According to Andersson, the Film Director, …
Heartbeat movie
From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …
Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire for me is one of the best films for 2008. The movie is about a young Indian teen who lived in the slums and was invited to join in “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” India. The teen was arrested by the Police on the suspicion that …

Wanted Movie
I was excited to see this movie. I was a bit disappointed when I finally watched it. I expected more action from it. There was actually some, but I am not contented. The plot itself is thin and the story is typical. The first few minutes were exciting but …
Short Circuit 2 movie
Short Circuit 2 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I grew up watching Johnny 5 is alive in the first Short Circuit. I really love the music and soundtrack to the movie. The song Who is Johnny is just wonderful. I must say I do enjoy …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

Gigli
Gigli is a good movie to watch for a weekend afternoon. The film starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in the lead roles has all the elements needed for a good movie. It has action, it has romance, it has humour and above all it has some fine emotional …
Cars-animated movie
Disney can still make good movies, if they put their mind to it. I didn’t expect much went I to see “Cars”; I thought I would be treated to good animation (with the today’s technology, there is no excuse for bad one), some cute characters and some ugly ones, …
Gidget movie
Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.

The Forgotten
The Forgotten is a very weird and kind of spooky movie. It’s about alien abduction and it’s also very interesting how people were sucked into the sky in this movie. It was very strange and also scary at the same time. I think that the The Forgotten has a pretty …
Big Fish (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …
