He’s Just Not That Into You - Movie
I thought this is going to be another boring chick flick, but looking at the cast; with Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, I knew deep inside that it is definitely a babes galore! And I’m right. Even if you don’t love this story plot, for guys …
Joshua (R, 2007) movie
The cover of this DVD would have one believe that the little boy depicted is somehow possessed with some kind of evil. You might even think there is some supernatural twist to the plot. But if you thought either of these things, you would probably be wrong. …

It lives up to the name of rush hour and rush hour 2. If you watched the first two and liked them you will like this one. It’s a great comedy. They are both hilarious in the movie yet once again. It’s also not just a couple of funny …
Twilight Tragedy

The Forgotten was an alright movie. I remember watching this movie. I didn’t think it was the best movie ever, but it was still cool. I liked the story a little. I think that the whole alien abduction thing was pretty cool and I must say that I did enjoy …
Dead or Alive
Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …

Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie

Transformers Animated Series - Swoop Action Figure

The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …

The movie A Shark’s Tale
A Shark’s Tale is one of those movies that looks like it might be okay, but the thought of paying movie theater prices to see it scares the crap out of you. I had this problem on the one hand it had a really great cast. Even Robert De …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie

The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
The Transporter 1 and 2
“The Transporter” series is definitely my favourite Jason Statham movie. In an interview, Statham admitted that he got a lot of attention in Hollywood thanks to this movie series and the other, also very popular, “Crank”.
