The Time Machine movie
It is an entertaining film based on the concept of time traveling. This concept has always thrilled me and I was curious to know about it. The first half of the movie is pretty enjoyable as well as knowledgeable. I am not a die hard fan of science …
Rush Hour 3
Very forgettable movie. Does not compare to Rush Hour 1 and 2. The jokes were old and used from Rush Hour one and Two. I thought the main characters Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were shadows of their former selves. Chris Tucker looked like he gained 80 pounds. Jackie Chan’s …
The Simpsons Movie
I like The Simpsons TV show, so I obviously expected to enjoy The Simpsons movie, and I was not disappointed. It was not the same format as a TV show - usually The Simpsons TV shows start out with one plot or problem, and end up being about something …
Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Movie Open Water
Open Water was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. When I first started the movie, I thought, “Oh, well maybe this is one of those movies that has a good storyline, but just a low budget”. But, I guess I was wrong. It …

Taken 3 (action movie)
When the trailer for Taken 3 was released, I didn’t get the feeling that it would have been as big as the first one was. Then after it was released, I noticed that it had gotten some fairly low ratings from viewers on various sites such as IMDB. Nevertheless, this …
Leapfrog: A Tad of Christmas Cheer
I was letting our daughter watch some Christmas movies I came across on Netflix and one of them turned out to be better than expected; Leapfrog: A Tad of Christmas Cheer.
Basically, this movie focused on the Leapfrog frogs and the fact Tad had to cope with his family expecting …
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000 Film)
Dr. Seuss’s cherished book “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” is a story that many people know and love for the holiday season. It was turned into a 2000 motion picture staring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Not only was there a new twist of comedy to this beloved tale, …
Taking The Lead
Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown, and Alfre Woodard.
Right from the beginning, I began to mentally attack this movie as being hard to believe even though it is based on a true story. Banderas played a French dance teacher, yet his Spanish accent …
Stardust movie
The movie I feel suffered from a lack of publicity. However, in my opinion, this was the best movie of the summer of 2007. Better than Transformers, Die Hard, and all of the rest that came out. The story is basically a fairytale told in modern …

King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …

The Movie Atlantis The Lost Empire
I have personally always liked the story of Atlantis. The idea of such a city is an intriguing one and its one that has been told for generations. When Disney came out with Atlantis I was really curious to see how good it would be. The trailer …
Babel - Movie
I went to see Babel not knowing anything about it more than it took place in Morocco and it was “kind of like the movie Crash”. Pretty quickly you can see how the movie is like “Crash” in that there are 4 storylines, seemingly unrelated, that you know somehow …
Rear Window
I am reviewing the movie, Rear Window, starring James Stewart. James Stewart plays a man who has broken his leg. He is keyed up in his apartment with nothing to do. He has a girlfriend who stops in on him from time to time, and she is gorgeous, …
“X-Men: First Class” (2011 Film)
While all of the “X-Men” films have been great, and entertaining to watch as well, the latest 2011 film, “X-Men: First Class” really just tops the cake. To be able to see Magneto and Professor X along with Mystique and a few other mutants we all have gotten to …
The Haunting of #24 (movie)
I was really surprised by this film. In watching the previews, I was a bit surprised that the film was as decent as it was. This is because the previews were really wack. The movies advertised were so below par, that I thought I …
The Reader
I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …

Jackass: The Movie (2002)
One of my favorite television series when I was in high school was a television series named “Jackass” which starred pranksters Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. I used to stay up with or without my brother every Sunday night in order to watch it, and I found most …
Shrek Forever (movie)
I totally forgot about this Shrek movie until my brother reminded me about it some time ago. It’s the fourth Shrek film, and even though I didn’t get the idea that it was as popular as the other movies, I thought that it was every bit as fun and …
Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …
Seven Pounds movie
Seven Pounds is about a man who is about to commit suicide and he falls in love. Will Smith is the main character of this movie. He does an amazing job in my opinion. In the beginning of the movie it is confusing but interesting, in the middle of …
Scooby doo and the goblin king
I rented this movie to watch with my sister. Overall it was pretty good. She has always liked scooby doo and so have I. I liked the creativity of it and the characters in it. There is a pumpkin in it, I can’t remember what his name is but …
Cheeni Kum
I just finished watching Cheeni Kum on TV starring Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu. Amitabh Bachchan is a very good and veteran actor and he is so much awesome in this movie. This is a Bollywood movie, therefore you have to look at the subtitles to follow through.
The movie …
Avengers (movie)
I’m one of those people who had been waiting for the Avengers to be released for two years. I just watched it recently and am not disappointed at all by the movie.

The Pelican Brief thriller
I usually don’t like political thrillers, but I found the Pelican Brief to be a thought-invoking and fantastic film. It’s one I would watch over again.
Julia Roberts is better known for her romantic comedies but I think she’s actually better in dramas. She gives one of the best performances …
What’s Up, Doc?,a movie (comedy)
This 1972 comedy only gets funnier as it ages. Ryan O’Neal plays Dr. Howard Bannister, a musicologist who comes to San Francisco to attend the annual convention where he hopes to win a scholarship for his studies of the musical potential of the igneous rocks (yes, that’s right - …

Are We Done Yet? (2007)
If ever a sequel was never to be made, it was this one, sometimes they just need to let it go and let the original do the work for them. In this movie, it picks up from where the original left off, Nick is now married to Suzanne and …
Sin City (2005 movie)
A great telling of the stories by Frank Miller. It’s dark, it’s mysterious, it’s dangerous, and as the tagline says…”Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything.” Of all the many stories that were told, the best one to me is the story …
It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …
Movie: Dreamscape
I hadn’t seen the movie Dreamscape in a while so, when I saw I could watch it on instant watch last night, I figured I would take the time to watch it again.
After doing so, I was glad I took the time to re-watch a film I couldn’t remember …
The Bourne Legacy (2012)
The Bourne Legacy is actually a huge disappointment. I delayed watching it because I was reading the book. After reading the book by Eric Van Lustbader, the actual movie was a complete disappointment. As a matter of fact, the movie is still a disappointment even without reading the actual …
Caramel film
A friend recommended Caramel to me, and I am so glad to have followed up and finally watched it. The film was both funny and touching, and I liked how the characters were so incredibly believable. I really felt like I could relate to parts of their …
