Confessions of a shopaholic movie
I saw the movie recently, one early morning when I wasn’t feeling to well and I couldn’t sleep, and I must say that it actually managed to keep my interest and to somewhat distract me from my sickness.

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
I watched this the other day and it was awesome. Audrey Tautou’s performance is really thumbs-up and even though this movie is a long-ago one, I find it super awesome, get what I mean. If you don’t believe, watch it and you will understand what I am trying …

There are two main reasons that make me watch this movie, those are:
1. There are Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman
2. The Great Trailer and Promotion.

This is about three parts of love, with the same couple but different times …
The movie Twilight part one
The first Twilight movie sucked big time and there are so many reasons as to why this movie was just plain awful and the first reason would be the actors, because the actors who played ion Twilight really did a very bad job and didn’t bring any of the …

Sometimes you have an impression about a movie before you rent it. You might think it looks good based on the previews or you might really like one of the actors in the film. This was not the case when I came across the movie Inside Man. I had …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
The second installation in the National Treasure saga, this one doesn’t just pickup from where the last one left off, it has a soul for itself. This one takes you so far back in history that you will be amazed at what you missed out on in school.
Nicholas Cage …
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014 Film)
As usual, this review will spoil no plot details, so feel free to read without any spoilers.
2 years ago, I haven’t even seen a single Wes Anderson film. Not until I was introduced to a seemingly, picturesque-filled title like “The Grand Budapest Hotel” midyear.
During that time, I believe I …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005 movie)
Remake of a popular TV series, this movie lacked the quality to keep me interested for even a short while. Where was the direction? It sure as hell didn’t leave me wanting more, I didn’t even want a little. This is yet another dumb movie that will fade away …
King Kong Movie
I recently went to go see King Kong at a movie theatre. It was everything I expected. King Kong was full of action, suspense and romance. This movie protrays the well known saying, “beauty killed the beast.” King Kong is one of the best movies in 2005. And anyone …
Django Unchained movie
I recently went to the cinema to see Django Unchained - having already seen the trailer, I was quite fascinated by it.
I must say that it was money well spent. The movie is fairly long (almost three hours), but it keeps you alert, thanks to its plot, its music …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

The Mist movie
I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …

Eat, Pray, Love Movie (2010)
I must admit that I was pretty enthusiastic about purchasing tickets for the latest Julia Roberts flick, “Eat, Pray, Love”. A girlfriend of mine had started reading the best-selling book upon which the movie was based. She praised it highly and promised to loan it to me …
Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
The Shoes of the Fisherman movie
Two of my absolute favorite actors of all time, Anthony Quinn and Laurence Olivier, appear in this film about the russian Kyril Lakota, who after 20 years in a siberian prison is elected as the new pope. I don’t have to mention the acting is brilliant I guess, but …
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
The second movie in the National Treasure Series was fantastic, even though I had never expected them to make another. And they took it up to a whole other level, it was really something. There was action and mystery like in the first, but less factual stuff, and more …

Other People’s Money Movie
Starring Danny DeVito
Movies with Danny DeVito in them always seem to draw my attention as I realy believe him to be the trump card that has me sold, when considering to go ahead and watch the movie or not.
With the recent Danny DeVito festival on late night television, featuring …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
When the movie “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” was released in movie theatres, I had no interest in seeing it for some reason. However, recently when I was bored I managed to watch the movie and was surprised that I actually thought of passing it over …
Alvin and the chipmunks
I watched this movie with my little sister a couple of weeks ago. It was good for the most part but I did notice that I was a little more interested in the movie than she was. I thought that it was a very cute kids movie and really …
Charmed TV Show
Remember the tv show Charmed? This was about three sisters who fought demons and struggled to build personal lives as well. I must admit, this is among my favorite shows. I have almost all of the seasons on DVD and I don’t let anyone in my family touch them …
Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …
Marley & Me Movie 2008
I adored this film - Marley and Me - but I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that I do love dogs. Marley is a Labrador owned by John and Jennifer (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and the movie covers their life with Marley …
Drake & Josh Go Hollywood
This is probably the third time I’ve watched the TV movie Drake & Josh Go Hollywood and, I’m not sure why, but I’m finding it to be one of the dumbest possible movies ever.
I mean the whole premise of the film doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. First, …

Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
Grease
If you want a good musical, this is the movie for you ! It’s another generation’s High School Musical and it is fantastic ! Who doesn’t love Olivia Newton John and John Travolta? Grease Lightening? I mean, come on. This is a movie that you can watch over and …
Sully (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
A Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks joint biopic sounds too good to be true. But it is 2017 now and apparently anything could happen. Back in the beginning of 2016, I greatly waited for this, but when the time it became available in cinemas I told myself to just wait …
Juno
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, Juno. Anyone who has seen this knows what a fantastic movie it is. So it’s about a sixteen-year-old girl named Juno who gets pregnant by her best friend, Paul Bleaker. Juno decides to give her baby up for adoption, and comes …
Upright Citizens Brigade The Complete First Season DVD
Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …
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 …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I had to watch it, because I was a child in the nineties and was interested in the x-men cartoons and the movies when they came out. I also thought that the trailers made the movie seem amazing and that …

Max Payne movie
I really enjoy watching Mark Wahlberg’s movies because he manages to come up with a different and exciting project every time. I must also admit that —˜Max Payne’ failed to impress me because it is not the kind of project one can link with this actor. It seems that …
Quantum of Solace movie
Quantum of Solace is the 22 Bond movie series and this time it’s played by Daniel Graig. The movie is full of action, fights, drama, thrill, and suspense. You will love the action part though. The Daniel here is not like the previous James Bond. He’s different and somewhat …
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
