Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
The Benchwarmers
One of my favorite artist is Rob Schneider. Well aside from the fact that he is half Filipino, I consider him as one of the best comedian in Hollywood.
I’ve first watched the movie 3 months ago, I just rented a DVD but it was absolutely ludicrous, we (me and …
Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
Doomed to Die (movie)
The movie “Doomed to Die” is actually a movie from the nineteen forties starring the popular actor Boris Karloff. How I heard about this movie was when I saw a reference made to it when reading someone’s blog, and decided to check it out for myself, and when I …

The Simpsons Movie is one of the best of all the simpsons shows. The work ethic in it and the funny just amazes me. I will explain it like you want to wach it now.
The one thing that amazes me when I see the simpsons …
Superbad (movie)
Unless you are a high school/college student or an intensely teen-hearted adult, this movie has nothing to offer you. It is nothing but two hours of dialogue about drugs, alcohol, and degrading comments about women; step foot onto any college campus in the nation, and you will be able …

Fair Game movie
A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …
The film ‘Waterloo’
One of my all-time favourite films is —˜Waterloo’ starring Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer, plus Virginia McKenna, Jack Hawkins and Orson Welles. This is a film covering a huge stage. Napoleon is seen being sent into exile on St Helena and his imperial ambitions are seemingly laid in the …
This Is Spinal Tap
This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …
Reality Bites
Reality Bites is a nice romantic movie with the back drop of young students. The movie is said as a path breaking movie of this type. Ben Stiller directed this movie and is his first movie as a director. The movie has Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, and Ethan Hawke …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
Star Trek III movie
When it comes to Star Trek movies, there are none better than Star Trek III, The Search for Spock.

Arthur 2011 movie
I just recently saw the movie Arthur (2011). This stars the actors Russel Brand, the famous Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner. Apparently, this has a low rating in IMDB but I loved this movie! People have been comparing it to the old Arthur movie which stars Dudley Moore. I …
American History X
This is a film that I would not have personally gone out to watch had it not been recommended for me. American History X is a film centred around the White power movement and the consequences of extremism.
The film’s main protagonist is the intelligent Derek Vinyard. Following the murder …
Hulk vs. Wolverine (2009)
This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …
Million Dollar Baby
I watched the movie Million Dollar Baby for the second time last night and, even though the movie supposedly got a lot of good reviews, I really just can’t see what people see in it.
Hillary Swank plays a female boxer who is trained by Clint Eastwood. And, while the …
The Girl with All the Gifts (Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Horror Movie)
The Girl with All the Gifts is a 2016 British post-apocalyptic zombie horror drama film directed by Colm McCarthy and written by M.R. Carey adapted from his novel of the same name.

A Christmas Story
When I first saw A Christmas Story a few years ago, I thought it was a great film. Now, after every television station has managed to show it at least a dozen times, I’m a bit burned out on it.
Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …

Strike Commando, movie (1987)
Italian films of the early 70’s to late 80’s had a reputation of knocking off American hit films. Despite the low budgets, the films had a charming quality about them. Director Bruno Mattei was one of a number of directors to make a career of delivering the …
License to wed
License to wed was an alright movie. It wasn’t really boring at all but it could have been funnier. There were a couple of parts that I thought were funny but not to many. All of the actors did a good job in it, especially Robin Williams and Mandy …

The gospel of John (Movie)
Many people said that this movie is boring and that those who think that the movie is very interesting must be lying for the sake of religious reason. Well, as the saying goes, one man’s meat is another poison, and therefore, one man’s poison can also be to the …
Movie: Deadly Honeymoon
There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.
This was a made-for-TV movie from Lifetime I think and I really wasn’t expecting it to be any good. But, after watching it, I do …
Akira (movie 1988)
Spectular…just Spectular!! The pinnacle in Anime, no other work has come close to matching the raw talent in Akira. It’s a visual masterpiece. It’s easy to see why this film is great…and seeing is believing, you must see it to believe it. I dare not tell you what the …
I, Robot (starring Will Smith)
I watched I, Robot when it was first released years back and it is something that unexpectedly, this movie is super amazing. I love anything with Will Smith in it and he truly sizzles. Will Smith plays a detective by the name of Del and he is super …
Big Fat Liar
This movie attempts to teach some good lessons. One of them is, Do not lie. Jason is a habitual liar, he tells stories all the time, with and without reason. Neither his friends nor his parents believe much of what he is saying. So when Marty, a big shot …

Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
“Mrs. Henderson Presents” was another one of those movies that disappeared from the large screen before I had a chance to see it. I suspect this is true for many people. That’s a pity because “Mrs. Henderson Presents” is a charming, feel-good movie that will leave you feeling both …
The Best Of Tromadance Vol 4 DVD
A friend of mine actually has a film featured on this DVD which was what fist drew me to it. What it is, is a DVD compilation of all of the best films submitted to the anual romadance film festival in New York. There are a lot of different …
The Canterville Ghost (movie)
I’ve always been fairly fascinated with the actress Neve Campbell, especially after I saw her in movies such as the “Scream” franchise and “The Craft”. She seemed to be a familiar face in the late nineties to the early 2000s, and I know believe some of that had to …
The Illustrious Client
I am reviewing The Illustrious Client, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode finds Holmes at battle with one of the most brutal men in London. The King of England himself employs …
Catch Me if you Can movie
When I first saw the movie “Catch Me if you Can” advertising to be released in theatres I wanted to watch it because of two major reasons. One was because it was the first in a long time I was seeing the actor Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie and …
Congo movie (1995)
Killer Gorillas. No such thing, right? Maybe. Maybe not. For years, there have been stories of ancient civilizations that are long gone from this world, that used to use animals as guards for their massive treasures. Whether or not they were …

Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …
“Hooligans” movie
Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …
DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008) Movie
I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.
All …
It’s a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra movie
Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …
