Movies Reviews
The Craft movie
The Craft is actually one of my most favorite teen movies. It doesn’t matter if many people might find it unrealistic because it’s all about magic and the supernatural (I’m not one of those people).
Directed by Andrew Fleming and starring Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True, …
The Fog, Rupert Wainwright Movie

Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
Running With Scissors
The movie “Running With Scissors” was originally a memoir penned by Augusten Burroughs. In both the book and the movie we are introduced to the pitiful members of Augusten’s family (both biological and adoptive). Augusten’s mother, Diedre, is a passionate poetic soul with a penchant for drama. Augsten’s father, …
The Illusionist movie
I am reviewing the movie, THe Illusionist starring Edward Norton, Jessica Beil, and Paul Giomatti, to name a few. Edward Norton’s character learns how to become an illusionist at a very young age, and falls in love with Sophie, Jessica Beil’s character. Sophie’s parents do not like …
Neon Genesis Evangelion: End of Evangelion movie
Fans of the initial Neon Genesis Evangelion anime television series were widely disappointed with the show’s ending. Reportedly because of a cut in budget, the final two episodes were light on action, heavy on introspective monologues and minimal animation. Now End of Evangelion fills in the gaps …

Hard Cash movie
Hard Cash with Christian Slater, Val Kilmer, Daryl Hannah, Verne Troyer, and Sara Downing.
Whoever said that Christian Slater can be the lead role in any movie? He is so one dimensional that few movies stand a chance of surviving his subpar performances. Val Kilmer …
Wild Wild West
I’m normally a Will Smith fan and I think the fact he stars in the movie Wild Wild West is the reason I find myself enjoying it; even when many others think it’s a weak film.
I used to watch the television show with my grandfather so I know quite …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
Judge Dredd (1995)
Judge Dredd, directed by Danny Cannon is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd, Armand Assante as his brother Rico, Diane lane as Judge Hershey and Rob Schneider as Herman Ferguson.
Taken from the pages of the comic book by …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999) is a drama film directed by Ang Lee and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA

Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie (2010)
I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …
Sherlock Holmes The Soultry Cyclists

The Heiress movie
This is a beautiful, although sad, movie. The story takes place in 1849 New York. Catherine (Olivia de Havilland) is the daughter of Dr. Sloper (Ralph Richardson), a very wealthy man and a cruel, tyrannical father. Catherine’s mother had died in childbirth - Catherine’s birth. Not only Dr. Sloper …

Children of Men
I watched this movie a few months ago. I was totally enthralled in the plot. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wasn’t very impressed when they killed the main characters long lost love. I also found it to be a little more …
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
When I was a youngster, I was not much of a horror movie fan, so I did not see get around to seeing George Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978. It has only been since I became an adult that I have grown to appreciate the …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
Love You to the Stars and Back (2017 Filipino Romantic Comedy Film)
I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …
Take the Lead-Antonio Banderas
I went to this movie last night with my friends. I think it was worth seeing, but perhaps just a rental. It was pleasant, with some funny scenes, and the way the scene moved back and forth with the dancing and the music, especially at the beginning, was great.
The …
Under the Cherry Moon
Prince is one of the most multi-talented performers in the world. Acting, however, is not one of his strongest points. However, as Hollywood history proves, an actor doesn’t particularly have to be all that talented, if audiences like him.
“Under the Cherry Moon” was supposed to be a …
Beowulf movie
I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …
Kick Ass movie
When I heard my friends with different likes and dislikes all praising this movie, I became eager to watch it for myself in the theatres. My eagerness increased even more when I saw it being praised in the media, and movie critics did not have much bad things …
A Royal Affair (2012 Film)
As a fan of Madds Mikkelsen, I was eager to watch the film, A Royal affair. I’m not so big on history movies, but I figured I would give this particular movie a chance. It’s described to be a romance drama film, which usually makes for a good watch. …
National Treasure movies

She’s dangerous!
And…She’s not ENTIRELY human!

We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …

True Lies, directed by James Cameron is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 15, 1994 for United States audience.

The Mist (2008)
Stephen King has had many of his novels and short stories adapted into film versions, but perhaps none have been as disturbing and tragic as The Mist.
In the classic Stephen King novella, first released in the book Skeleton Crew, a town faces terrifying creatures that come out of a …

Disney’s The GamePlan
Today I watched Disney’s The Gameplan starring Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson and Madison Pettis. It turned out to be a surprisingly refreshing movie with a nice family friendly message and a huge sense of humor. A comedy / drama that gets us caught up in the …
Movie Freedomland
One of my favorite movies. It kept me interested and entertained. I wasn’t bored throughout any of it. The ending was really good and surprised me, I didn’t expect the ending of it and I think that is one reason I liked it so much, because it was a …
Birdman, movie (2014)
Yesterday I saw the movie Birdman. Those who expect it to be another action film with superheroes or, on the contrary, a monotonous story about the main character’s crisis with an emphasis on art house, existential experiences with a hidden meaning will be disappointed.
A film with its own twist, …
Battle L.A. Movie
I had not heard much about Battle L.A., which is surprising because it is the current big blockbuster alien movie and that usually means millions of dollars in advertising. The only advertising I have seen for this film is some posters in subway stations. The posters explain the basic …
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 …

They came to him with a story that an attempt is going to be made on the life of the United States President and only he has the expert knowledge to find out where the shooter will be and try to stop him before the attempted assassination is done. …
Scream Movie (1996)
As I was looking through the TV channels one boring Sunday afternoon, I came across “Scream”. This movie was one of the best movies that came out in 1996. I remember that a lot of my friends back in High School were really too hyped up about this movie …
Employee of the Month, movie
Dane Cook’s first time out as a leading man left me laughing, but not so much at the movie, as at myself. I found this movie to hit all of the right marks for laughter but couldn’t being myself to admit that it was anything more than a poor …
Ice Princess
Ice Princes is about a girl named Casey Carlie who is trying to complete a physics project so she can get a scholarship for college. Her professor told her to make it about something personal. That’s when she came up with the idea to study the girls figure skating …
Braveheart movie
Being a former history major, I absolutely love movies based in historical times; especially when they are about legendary characters. Braveheart is a movie that has all the qualities I look for in a historical movie. It?s an accurate portrayal of the hero but still takes some liberties with …
Juno film
“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …
