There have been many depictions of the classic Charles Dickens story through the years, but this one by british director David Lean with legendary actor Alec Guinness in the role of vicious Fagin, is beyond all doubt the most memorable version. David Lean, who is more known for his …
Barbarian Queen, fantasy film
Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …

Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …
Surrogates (Movie)
I thought this movie was going to be good, but it is tastefully overexaggerated. The movie is all about people using robots as surrogates to live in the world, and it features Bruce Willis as Tom Greer, his wife Rosamund Pike as Maggie, Radha Mitchell as Peters, James Cromwell …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
Movie AVP
I recently saw this movie for the first time and truthfully I didn’t like it very much at all. In case you don’t know, “AVP” stands for “Alien Versus Predator”. I did remember the alien from the Alien series of films, but I didn’t recall the Predator at all. …

Alvin And The Chipmunks, the movie version is SUPER funny and SUPER awesome. I love the singing especially. Enjoyed the story super much. And come to think of it, the My Name Is Earl, Jason Lee’s performance is outshine by the lovely Chipmunks.
Let’s talk about the voice-over …
The Aviator (2004)

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …
The Mummy (Movie)
The Mummy was released in 1999, directed by Stephen Sommers and was considered by some as an “Indiana Jones” for the nineties. I first saw it at the cinema almost as soon as it was released, tempted by the trailers and other details I had seen and read. I’m …

Zoolander (R, 2001)
When I first saw this movie I thought it was really going to be stupid. And I was right. But with actors like Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson aboard for the laughs, you can expect all the lame jokes to be illustrated in full effect. …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie
Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was a really great movie. It was sexy, witty and simply smoldering. I cannot say that I am a big Brad Pitt fan but I did like this movie. I liked how both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
I went to see this film opening night, and of course, the theater was packed with people dressed in wizard costumes with scars on their foreheads. Just like other avid readers of the Harry Potter books, I had been very critical of the previous films and came in with …
Movie Harvey
Harvey is a delightful motion picture from 1950 that stars James Stewart and Harvey, the invisible rabbit. It’s true. The rabbit gets excellent billing in the movie.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, who is unusually pleasant about absolutely everything. He’s never in a hurry, and he never …
Richard Scarry Videos
My little cousin loves watching Richard Scarry Videos so much, that I tend to buy him 1 or 2 videos whenever I see one. These videos are very educational, and they have songs and themes as well.

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 …
8 MM (1999)
I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …
Father of the Bride
“Father of the Bride” is a movie starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams as the father, the mother, and the soon-to-be bride, respectively. It is apparently a remake of the movie by the same name from the 1950s that I have never watched.
Pros: Steve Martin was …
Movie : Dolan’s Cadillac (2009)
When I saw this movie the firs thing that surprised me was Christian Slater was still acting. I was sure he had dissapeared into oblivion years ago, but based on his starrign role in the film he obviously still has a lot left to offer the cinema world and …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …
Jonah Hex movie
I just saw Jonah Hex, and my exact thoughts of seeing the movie: “what the?” Jonah Hex is one of those movies where almost all things predictable culminates. The story is about (guess who?) Jonah Hex, a soldier accused of betraying his regimen and killing Jeb Turnbull, his best …
Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …

Beethoven the movie
I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …
