Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …
Total Recall Movie (2012)
Walking into the movie theater, I was a bit nervous. I did not know what to expect and I really hoped that I would like the movie. The original Total Recall has become somewhat of a classic, at least in my circle of family and friends. Doing a remake …

Film “Grownups” (2010)
I really have a mixed opinion on this movie. If you like more than 1 other Adam Sandler movie or any Kevin James film you’ll like this. If you thought Kevin James was funny in that mall cop movie this movie is your style and you will …
Movie on Excalibur
The legend of King Arthur and his knights have managed to be portrayed in various versions. However, as one might want to know the earlier depictions of the legend, there is one movie title that you should watch. Excalibur is the title of the movie, that has been produced …
Bullet Boy (R, 2004)
You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …
The Spy Who Loved Me movie
The third 007 film starring Roger Moore is one of my favorites. The background story is the usual: someone is threatening to take over the world and Bond has to stop him. What really is unusual about this film, and this amazed me more than anything when I first …
Equilibrium (R, 2002) movie
I have been passing over this film in my queue for a couple of years now. I finally decided to give it a chance, and immediately realized what my inner voice had been telling me for quite a while. This movie is crap. Sorry for …

Dawn of the Dead Movie(2004)
Once again another bad horror movie is made…and a corpse turns in its grave. Directors and actors please give note to this…stop making horror films as you know not what you are doing. You all lack the vision in what it takes to make a decent horror flick. If …
Urban Justice
I personally thought the star of Steven Seagal was fading in the early to mid nineties. It seems as if someone keeps letting him make movies. Not that I mind him making more movies. But like this newest Seagal flick, Urban Justice proves, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen …
Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …
Mr Arkadin movie
What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …
Super Size Me
Super Size Me was a movie that made me never want to eat at McDonald’s or any fast food place ever again. Super Size Me is a story and documentary showing the life of a man who is going to risk his life by eating McDonald’s for breakfast lunch and …
The New Adventures of Heidi movie
It’s hard for me to find a Heidi tale that I don’t like. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of them and most of them have their own unique quality that makes it work. That’s the case with The New Adventures of Heidi from 1978. …

Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit,1968 movie
This is a good, although dated, family movie that you can safely watch with your children without worrying about bad language, violence, or nudity. If your child is obsessed with horses, like I used to be when I was a kid, this movie will be a great choice.
Helen (Ellen …
Poltergeist - Supernatural Horror Movie (2015)
As far as horror movies go, Poltergeist is not a movie I’m planning to watch again. It’s a remake of the 1982 movie, Poltergeist, and from what I hear, the original is way better. Although I watched this in 3D in theaters, there were very few scares to boast of …
Amazing Grace
I did not see this movie until some tinme after it was released. I didn’t even see it advertise and that could have been because I was a bit busy around the time it was released. However, after finding out about it I was a bit eager to watch …
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
This is a great family movie and I really recommend it if you don’t know what to watch with your children. The movie is funny but also rather sentimental; it is about parental love, but also about man’s happiness. We saw Larry Daily becoming a night guard at a …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
Street Law, movie (1974)
Enzo Castellari has a knack for making Italian action films. Fabio Testi seemed to be his go-to star. Yet, one film in particular, Castellari utilized the talents of the original Django. The end result was one of the better poliziotteschi films put out by Castellari. …

Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say I enjoyed it as much as I did first time I saw it.
Of all the movies that are based on classic tales, this spin on Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow …
Camp Rock
I was waiting for New Year’s Eve and to pass time I had a movie marathon all by myself. The last movie I watched was Camp Rock because I had no other choice. It’s an original Disney Channel movie starring Demi Lovato as a teenager who went to her …

A rather simple story that doesn’t have …
The Fisher King Movie
Wow The Fisher King is probably now one of my favorite movies and probably one of the best performance by Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams. The story is so deep and heartfelt is almost made me cry at the end. The story is about this radio show host who is …
Cry Baby movie
I think I watched almost every one of Johnny Depp’s later films before I finally got around to watching one of his first ones, Cry Baby. After seeing the movie for the first time, I can understand why it has become a bit of a cult movie.
While the overall …
My Man Godfrey,1936 movie
This is an excellent, although old, black & white comedy. The story takes place in the 1930s New York. Homeless bums are trying to survive searching in the dumps when a fancy car pulls up, and two beautifully dressed, wealthy ladies alight. They are sisters, Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and …
Zombie Wars movie
My wife and I wanted to watch a horror movie last night before bed and I didn’t want to be up too late so I ended up picking out the film Zombie Wars; based solely on the fact it was only about 90 minutes long.
I wasn’t expecting much from …
10 Things i Hate About You
10 things i hate about you was the breakout vehicle for the at the time unknown future stars Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. The movie is, at its heart, a romantic comedy, but what’s truly great about this movie is that it doesn’t tend to follow the usual stereotypes …

The Stepford Wives (1975)
I am not reviewing the terrible 2002 remake of this movie with Nicole Kidman, but the 1975 original, directed by Bryan Forbes. I watched this movie as a kid and found it really sinister and it played on my mind afterwards. Now I have just seen it …
Mr. fix it (2006) movie
Oh my God, this is one of the most stupid movies out there. I don’t even know how in the world can you make a movie that is so bad. And it is very surprising since the actors in the movie are absolutely amazing. The only scenario I can …
Easy A (Movie 2010)
Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) was an invisible entity to the eyes of men. If a man was google earth, she would still remain as a fictional character burried under the rubble of anonimity. But, her world changed when she lied about a very personal thing: losing her virginity at highschool! …
National Treasure 2

My Best Friend’s Girl movie
I love Kate Hudson’s movies. They’re the kind that you can just enjoy because of the theme. Most of her movies are romantic comedies and when i feel really stressed, all I need is a good laugh. Recently, I watched My Best Friend’s Girl. I have a lot of …
Bedazzled-Brendan Fraser & Elizabeth Hurley
I loved this movie because it was so funny. Who would have thought that the devil could be a comedian or so sexy. Elizabeth Hurley was great in this role because she brought a special touch to it. I enjoyed her constant antics and trickery so much. She kept …
Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (movie)
I was expecting something a little bit more “comprehensive” and less “jumpy.” I got that Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a film that would address some of the ills affecting the black community following civil rights. But his choice in using a sex performer named …
MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …
