Starring: John Cussack (Mike Enslin), Samuel L Jackson (Gerald Olin), Mary McCormack (Lily Enslin), Jasmine Jessica Anthony (Katie Enslin)
The movie had captivated my interest from the very beginning especially with so much buildup about a room, that I was ‘dying’ with curiosity just to have a …
Escape Plan movie

Dude, Where’s My Car?
Remember when Dude, Where’s My Car? was first shown on the cinemas? I think there are just movies that truly “work” and some just don’t. And the actors play an active role as well. If you put non-funny actors in a funny comedy movie, it won’t work …
Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …
P2
When I came across the movie P2 on one of our movie channels last night, I confess I only decided to watch it because it was getting late and there really wasn’t much else on. When I put it on, I figured it wasn’t going to be a good …
The Pacifier movie
Yesterday night I watched this movie, first time I thought that it just ordinary saving mission or something like that. But its got more interesting in the middle of the movie, when the main actor (Vin Diesel) as Shane have mission to save some important program made by some …

The Alamo movie
The battle of the Alamo in Texas is one of the most well known events in American history. However, the facts of the battle are often portrayed differently. Though other accounts may be more factual, my favorite movie or TV version of the historical tale is The …
Red Dawn (1984)
There is some controversy about this movie and the date it was released, to the effect that it was the very first movie to have a Motion Picture Association rating of PG-13 due to the excessive violence that the movie offered. Now I say to you my good viewing …
The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
Black Cat Episode 6 (Anime)

Saw V
Saw V is the second movie in the series where James Wan had nothing to do with, this time they got a new director, David Hackl. The movie was released around Halloween again, a year after the last. While not as pathetic as Saw IV this film is pathetic, …
American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
Starred Up (drama movie)
Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …
Movie 2012
“2012″ will remind you a lot of other big disaster movies, such as “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow”.
So here’s a little background on the predictions this movie is based around - one of the earliest civilizations - the Mayans, predicted there would be great change to …
Cinderella Man movie
For years, when I thought of boxing movies, I always put Rocky on top of the list. However, after seeing Cinderella Man, there is a new #1.
Based on the real life story of Jim Braddock, the movie focused on the Great Depression and how one man’s return to glory …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …

One of the most famous films with the comedy couple Laurel & Hardy.
The latter is heartbroken when is girlfriend leaves him for another, so he goes looking for her new love and takes Laurel with him.

DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
Reviewing - Hitch
Hitch - can be summed up with one word - hilarious ! Will Smith and Kevin James are side achingly funny ! Hitch’s {Will Smith } job is to get the girl of any man’s dreams to fall in love with him in 3 days ! It works like …
The Old Curiosity Shop Movie
The Old Curiosity Shop, 1995, mini-series, is a good adaptation of the novel by Charles Dickens. Peter Ustinov plays Grandfather, a poor old man who is raising his beloved granddaughter Nell and trying to make her fortune by gambling. Peter Ustinov may be a little too heavy for the …
The Elephant Man
If you are not familiar with the story of Joseph (John) Merrick, known as The Elephant Man, this movie will come as a shock. Based on a true story of a man with severe physical deformities, it is often painful to watch. John Hurt plays the unfortunate Merrick. Heavy …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I love, love, love this movie! This was the perfect transformation of the hit television show into a big screen production. If you loved the series, you will love the movie. If you’ve only seen the show a couple of times, the movie will inspire you …
Road Show movie
Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …
Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …
Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …

Lenny Live (documentary)
Years ago I watched a documentary on Lenny Kravitz that showed who he was BEFORE he became the big time superstar. It centered a lot on his personal life, and his child with Lisa Bonet, Zoey. In this documentary, Lenny’s daughter is well into her teens …
Final Destination 3 movie
When I saw the previews for Final Destination 3, I remember thinking the producers were overkilling on an otherwise great franchise. When I watched the movie on DVD, I found I was right.
The plot of the movie seemed a bit forced and was confusing from the start. Beginning with …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
My wife and I usually watch horror films over the weekend but I wanted something a bit different so I ended up picking up a romantic comedy instead. And, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist turned out to be a much better movie than expected.
At first, I thought it would …
The Founder, movie (2016)
Most of all, I like movies about how a business is created. That’s why I watched the movie The Founder with great interest. It seems that everyone knows the story of the great McDonald’s. Who Ray Kroc is and what year he met the McDonald brothers. Suddenly, it’s only a …
Limitless, movie
What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …
Don Juan De Marco movie
I had thought I had seen all of Johnny Depp’s movies until I came across this one in Netflix. And, I was glad I found it.
This has to be one of Depp’s best roles (even though he didn’t get top billing for the movie; Marlon Brando did). He plays …
Babes in Toyland 1934 BluRay Movie
Babes in Toyland was released in 1934, in black and white color. This is a classic musical movie with its cuteness and its real singing talent. I was introduced to this movie as a child and had the hardest time trying to find it as an adult because I …
The Dark Side of the Sun Movie

Cabin in The Woods movie
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I decided it was time to start watching (and reviewing) some horror films! A recent, and extremely well-reviewed “horror film” that I missed in theaters so decided to rent was “Cabin in the Woods”. A family member of mine recommended it, and …
The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …
Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
The city in the movies of 3 directors
The 3 Directors:
Bimal Roy - Kabuliwala
Satyajit Ray - Mahanagar
Vittorio De Sica - Bicycle Thieves
Among the three directors Bimal Roy has most positive attitude (in Kabuliwala), where he shows the city like the other two, as some a place where you can get employment, but he is more positive about …
