Eternal Sunshine, The Teflection of Eternal Love
The complete title of the movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This is quite unusual romance movie, though the main idea of this one is truly amazing. Starring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet, who turned out are able to be wonderful couple here. And directed by Michael …
Patch Adams movie
Patch Adams is a nice comedy and drama movie. This Robin Williams, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Monica Potterand starred movie has a nice story(which was inspired from a novel with the same title as the title of the movie). The movie is the story of Patch Adams who …
Battle Planet (movie)
When I saw the dvd at the house of a friend, I could not help thinking that the name “Battle Planet” sounded familiar. However, later on I learned that the movie was actually a Syfy original science fiction movie, and after reading a good, review on it, I was …
Movie Eastern Promises
The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles is one of my favorite animated movies. I’ve seen it quite a number of times already but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. I’m pretty sure that alot of people would relate to the wonderful characters. Shy and insecure teenage girls would …
Super Size Me
Super Size Me is a documentary film by Morgan Spurlock. Morgan Spurlock takes it u[on himself to eat nothing but McDonalds food for 30 days and he films himself for the entire duration of his eating drama. He gets pretty scientific with it all by involving healthcare professionals who …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
Purple Rain (Movie)
At first I really liked this movie, but now I absolutely hate it. I don’t even know why I keep the DVD around. This is a really old movie starring Prince and I guess it is about his life. I don’t know if it is a true story or …
Iron Man 2
Yesterday evening, I received a phone call from my husband. He was on his way home and wanted to know if I would like to go and see Iron Man 2. Well, of course, I said yes. So my daughter, my husband, and myself went off …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence
I’ve been enjoying the Clone Wars cartoon not so much because it is Star Wars but because it’s hard to find anything which feels like epic Science Fiction, and Shadow of Malevolence, the third episode in the season, manages to get that feel of a big universe better than …
Toy Story
Toy Story is a milestone movie for many reasons. The biggest being that that this was the first ever fully computer generated movie. Also, this was the movie that started Pixar’s incredible run of amazing movies which are still coming out today, Wall-E being the latest. …
Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
An interesting film stylistically as it recreates the moods of old noir films in color. Compared to LA Confidential, which is similar too this one but in black and white, Devil in …
Fool’s Gold (2008) movie
In the early parts of this movie, I found it hard to stay tuned as the dialog was dull and boring and there was not much to hold on to that would keep me interested in watching this movie, but I waited patiently with hopes that it would pick …
Garfield (2004)
Garfield, directed by Peter Hewitt is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for brief mild language. The original release date was June 11, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Comedy/Family and stars Breckin Meyer as Jon, Jennifer Love Hewitt as …
Maid in Manhattan
I saw the movie Maid in Manhattan again last night and, even though Jennifer Lopez does a somewhat decent job in it, I’m still not overly impressed with it.
The movie reminds me a bit too much of about a dozen other films I’ve seen. Lopez plays a cleaning lady …
Blue Crush (2002)
A chick flick about girls and surfing. This was the very fist movie and I think this is the only movie that you will see to date about girls competing in a surfer competition. I get that people want to be equal opportunists and stuff, but there are just …

Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire contains spoilers.
Usually, a more action-oriented movie like this would be at or near the top of my list of favorites since the action/adventure genre is one of my top two movie genres. But Harry Potter and the Goblet …
Movie: Let The Right One In
Let The Right One In is a film I have been wanting to see for quite awhile. Horror fans have been making their lists of their favorite genre film and more and more often you see this one popping up. Since the list is long of films …
Click
I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …
A Very Special Love starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo
Last 2008, my girlfriend asked me to take her to watch another feel-good love story starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Good. As I have posted in my previous reviews, I am a no fan of these kind of movies especially Filipino films.
The film was about Sarah Geronimo …
A Night to Remember movie
I watched a British Film called “A Night to Remember” which is a movie about the sinking of the Titanic. I know that there have been other movies made about the sinking of the Titanic however this was made in 1958.
Interestingly, this was made in black and white. …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
Twilight the Movie
Stephnie Meyer’s Twilight saga created much uproar with the brilliant storyline and an unconventional love story that it offered. Twilight Movie is based on the first novel of the saga. The movie is a perfect blend of suspense, romance, mystery and sci-fi acts. The star cast is absolutely apt …
Rocky 5
Rocky 5 with Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, and Tommy Morrison.
Many have called this the worst Rocky sequel. I would have to agree with this rating, but even the worst is not that bad in this case. The characters stay true to form …

Fearless Jet Li
Jet Li is truly a great martial artist and actor. I loved him in this film because he played a character with complexity. He started off as a weak child that constantly tried to overcome a bully. Later he grew up to become a great fighter that allowed vanity …
Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …
John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …

Popeye Movie
I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.
However, my oldest daughter, who loves the cartoons, wanted to …
Caramel (2008)
I watched a DVD movie titled Caramel the other night and I have nothing but praise for this movie, really. It showcases the extremely talented Lebanese actress cum Director Nadine Labaki, which she directs this movie herself. This is a story of how a few women, mostly …

‘Keg on My Coffin’, a song by The Push Stars
The year 2004 was a great year for awesome music. It was also the same year that I become aware of a relatively unknown, independent recording group known as The Push Stars. Their song ‘Keg on the Coffin’ was receiving extensive radio play on Alabama airwaves by indie recording …
Happy feet movie
Happy Feet the Movie came on our Direct TV Pay-Per-View. It was so cute. My grandchildren loved the movie. There seem to be quite a few movies coming out about Penguins, but this one was really cute. It had a great lesson in it. …
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps movie
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps began with an opening teaser before the credits that featured Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) being released from prison, and it was fantastic. The mobile phone bit is a hoot, but the poignancy of the moment came when Gekko was watching the other released …
The Others movie
“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …
Toy Story 3 (in 3-D)
