The filmmaker Roland Emmerich have for quite a long time been renowned for his peculiar way of waving with the american flag in his films, and The Patriot is, not very unexpected, the same thing.

Sherlock Holmes 2009 - Lock, Stock and Several Exploding Barrels.
This rollicking take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythology brings the old hack’s story up to date with several bangs. From the moment the film starts, we are plunged into the seedy underworld of Victorian London, and introduced to a hero who is both brilliant and rather unbalanced.
Robert …
Pride and Prejudice, 2005
I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say. I didn’t expect much, and therefore wasn’t very disappointed. Keira Knightley is cute (perhaps a little too cute for Elizabeth) and pretty …
Young Sherlock Holmes

This movie explores the story of what would happen if Sherlock Holmes …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …

Babel (2007 film)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is a director of real life, concentrating on characters and their usual, yet heartbreaking, devastating problems. He is an artist that paints with grief, melancholia and tragedy, wrapping it all in romance. Babel is his most exceptional human tale.
A Japanese father of a …
Dr. Dolittle
Dr. Dolittle is a family comedy movie starring Eddie Murphy in the title role. It is a very nice movie and though it appears as kid’s movie, it has universal appeal to it. Eddie Murphy did a great job as Dr. Dolittle. The story starts with a scene from …
Suffering Man’s Charity/ Ghost Writer (2007)
I thought this was going to be a really good movie, I heard really good things about it, plus, the cast list was very impressive. At the beginning of the movie, when things seemed a little bit too eccentric for and to weird, I just said to myself …

Illegal Tender movie
When I first saw this movie premiering one Saturday night I was a bit confused as to why I had not heard about it before when it was supposed to be released in theatres. It did not look like a indie movie to me, so that made me even …
The Romantics Movie
Yay! Josh Duhamel is starring in a new movie! I have loved him ever since watching him as Leo in “All My Children”. Can’t wait until the movie, “The Romantics” is released as it seems as if it has been such a long time since his last movie was …
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009 Movie)
First off, I did not go to see this in theaters. I waited until it was available through Netflix streaming before I actually saw it. That being said, this movie was absolutely amazing even without Imax, surround sound, and in 3D. It’s based off a children’s book, and according …
Skyfall (action movie)
I stopped being a James Bond fan years ago, and honestly, I can’t even remember why. This is why I ended up missing Casino Royale. Nevertheless, after I decided to try watching Skyfall recently, I enjoyed it so much, that I’m actually eagerly awaiting the release of the next James …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …

I recently watched the movie, “I now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” for the first time. This movie is hilarious! The movie is rated PG-13 and stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Steven Buscemi and Dan Aykroyd.

This was …

I’ve got something to say. I think this movie is the best comedy out so far! The movie is absolutely hilarious. The main character is Andy, (Steve Carell) who is questioning his sexual status of a virgin. Andy has gone through some sexual encounters previously, all of which had …
Dead Poets Society
“Dead Poets Society” is a brilliant 1997 drama starring Robin Williams as professor John Keating, who arrives to teach at a conservative college in the ultra-conservative 1950s. This is one of Williams’ best performances in his career.
Pros: The movie is wonderful. Williams is likeable and goofy while …

Sgt. Bilko

Pearl Harbor Movie
This is a truly classic movie that had me crying even though it’s a love story/action story. The setting is in the World War where the Americans are at battle with Japan, and Kate Beckinsale is a nurse stationed at Pearl Harbor; best friends Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck …
King Kelly of the U.S.A. movie
King Kelly of the U.S.A. was released in 1934 and actually had some entertaining moments. While it dragged here and there and was very vaudeville in spots, it still is pleasing to watch in today’s world.
The story begins on a cruise ship and that is where we meet …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
The skelteon Key (movie)
Rob and I love to go to the movies, we also like to as a family sit at home and watch a good movie. Some of Rob’s friends tell him he has more movies than Blockbuster and sometimes I have to agree.
Well the other night he …
Old School movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Old School last night, when it was on TV. I’m not sure how much of the film got edited for television but I have to admit, it was better than I expected it to bed.
Will Ferrell has two different kinds …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
Movie Firewall
Firewall with Harrison Ford and Virginia Madsen.
What a crappy movie this was. Harrison Ford looks 100 years old and tries to get by with his trademark angry face. Madsen is chunky and they try to hide her enormous rump. Aside from these main …
The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
Men in Black movie
This movie, although it is a bit on the short side, and doesn’t really have a very interesting plot - Will Smith saves the world from aliens who are going to blow up the planet - is fun to watch. There are lots of odd little details and jokes …
Man of Steel, movie
I first saw this movie in a beautiful theater in downtown Los Angeles. The theatre was extravagantly stunning, but the movie undoubtedly one-upped it. I sat in the theater in tears after it ended, but laughing through the emotions at the witty ending. I loved how it provided a …
Pride and Prejudice (2005 Film)
Before watching the 2005 film, “Pride and Prejudice” assumptions where made about how the film would be boring and dragging on for the entire two hours and nine minutes that would be spent watching it. I had honestly assumed that it would be similar to all other great love …

Umrao Jaan
Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …

Movie The Hangover
The Hangover is a great movie. But of course, do not follow what these guys have done. Basically they are on a romp for a guy’s night out, so to speak for the about to be married friend.
But things took a wrong turn when the groom …
Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal (movie)
The first time when I saw “Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal” was a couple years ago when it first premiered on the cable television station Lifetime. At the time, I had mistaken it for another movie sharing a similar name, but when I watched it, even though I …

Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …
Death Note
I love Asian movies; I liked mostly the horror movies, the likes of “The Shutter, “The Eye”, among others. It was just recently that my brother has downloaded an anime series called the death note. It was a bit long, too long for me to actually sit down and …
Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.
This story is about a group of girlfriends, …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
“Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous” is the sequel of the great funny movie “Miss Congeniality”. Sandra Bullock returns to the big screen after an absence of 5 years from interpreting the role of Special Agent Gracie Hart. Although most reviews give a positive comment about this movie, I …
Flowers in the Attic (2013 movie)
Growing up as a teenager I loved reading books that were written by the author V. C. Andrews. I was always fascinated by the plots and the female main characters of her stories, even though she’d been dead for longer than I’d been around. While there were always new …
Poltergeist
When I was fourteen, this movie scared me. And I felt then, and now, that I don’t scare easily. Very few movies even give me the chills. But Poltergeist scared me, and at the same time thrilled me. It became somewhat of both an embarrassment and a disappointment that …
