Movies Reviews
Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …
Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …
Trains Planes & Automobiles movie
I watched the movie Trains Planes & Automobiles a long time ago and didn’t remember a whole lot about the movie. So, when I got a chance to watch it again last night, I decided to (there wasn’t anything good on TV now that Monk is off the air).
I …

Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and …

Roadkill

Clue
I was flipping channels last night and came across a movie classic; Clue.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
The great and quite long series of books&movies which has been around for more than a decade is about to come to an end.
Being a loyal Harry Potter fan, I read all the books in the series, watched the movies and even played the computer games..
Usually I wasn’t very …
Inception (movie)
This film thoroughly surprised me - I never thought a film could be so thought provoking. The plot itself is rather complicated, I had to watch it a few times just to understand everything that happens. However I thought this is what made the film so great. I could …
The Holiday DVD
During Christmas time, I had decided to buy The Holiday DVD for my friends since I loved this movie; I made all my friends watch it too. I really like the movie as it gives sense of feeling that not all is lost if you break up with the …
Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …
Case of the Split Ticket
I am reviewing The Case of the Split Ticket, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
The God Who Wasn’t There documentary

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: Season One
I first watched this series with my friends in a theater, and I laughed so hard that the next day my voice was hoarse. I couldn’t talk regularly for three days after that!

The Fog
I’ve said this before but, when it comes to Horror films, they are either very scary or very dull. Unfortunately for the Fog, it was the latter.
The problem with the Fog is it was just like every other horror film. An evil fog engulfs a small town and ghosts …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …

The Lovely Bones Movie 2009

Alien movie (1979)
(Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt)

Frozen Movie
Frozen is an excellent movie to watch if you have some time to kill and want it to fly by unnoticed. This is a great thriller that involves you and captures your imagination almost from the start. Being a very independent film, this is not a movie that boasts …
Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …
The Family Man
I had an opportunity to watch the movie The Family Man last night. I have seen it before but it was the first time in a long while and I couldn’t remember much about the movie.
I now know why that was. It really isn’t a very memorable film.
Basically, the …
Flu Bird Horror movie
The movie Flu Bird Horror is in my top 20 list of one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen on television. Nevertheless, even though it is in that list, it is further down the bottom since unfortunately, I have seen worse bring broadcast on the …

Running Scared Paul Walker
I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …
Saving Private Ryan
This movie has one of the best opening 30 minutes ever. It takes you for the ride of your life in a realistic portrayal of what D-Day was actually like at the height of WWII. The brutalness and trueness of this first battle can’t help but hook …
Pan’s Labyrinth movie
My wife insisted on watching the movie Pan’s Labyrinth so I reluctantly sat down to watch it with her; even though I was certain it would be a movie I was not interested in.
It turned out to be better than expected however.
The movie takes place in Spain sometime after …
Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.
I do not believe that this movie made the big screen as it was pretty cheesy. It focuses on two crimes in New York City. One was a black cop killer who only needed to be located. …
Exiled (2007)
I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …

Summer Scars movie
When I first saw the cover of the dvd, to tell you the truth I didn’t expect anything higher than a movie which could only be described as b-rated. However, when I watched the movie I was more than surprised because I found it was actually quite interesting and …

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016 Adventure Comedy-Drama Film)
Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …
