The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

Shelter Movie (2010)
Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …
Kill Bill Volume 1
I always like Uma thurman movie, like this one, Kill Bill volume 1. She’s always good in acting especially in action movie. Kill Bill volume 1 is based from a book from an unofficial casebook by D.K Holm as author.

I was curious to watch this movie when my friends started to talk about how shocking this movie was. So I went to search this movie. I found myself watching it right at the same day when I bought the DVD. 1408 tells a story of Mike Enslin (John …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …

Death at A Funeral Movie (2010)

Godzilla (2014) Movie
In 1998, Sony Pictures Entertainment and TriStar Pictures released the first American-made Godzilla movie. At the time, it was a big budget movie that incorporated extravagant special effects with a well-known Hollywood actor cast as the lead. The movie, for the most part, took the monster in a drastically …
Movie: “Mindhunters”
I can’t recommend “Mindhunters” passionately enough: it’s so much more than just action; it’s a deep psychological thriller that will have you guessing at every turn.
Rather than just introducing mindless FBI drones, the movie presents a cast of rich characters, all with their own strengths and frailties. They are …

The Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …
Limitless (movie)
One of the best movies that I’ve watched so far this year is a movie called “Limitless”. Even though I saw it advertising and read a multitude of good reviews on the movie, I didn’t watch it until a family member of mine finally persuaded me to. Even just …
Movie Beowulf (2007)
This movie surprised me a bit when I saw it for the first time, maybe the disturbing regular nudity of the hero more than anything… anyway..phallic fixations, parent-child problems and low passions, is the new adaptation of the epic poem. Being the third adaptation of the story of “Beowulf” …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin and the chipmunks was the cutest movie for the whole family to see. If your looking for a really good family movie this is it. It has a great plot and very useful meaning. It was very amusing and had situations that even smaller kids could understand. It …
Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth is a very, very interesting story set in a war-fare era. I can�t remember the era, but the story is in a foreign language, and it is a beautiful language of German, Spanish or French, I am not pretty sure.

Dracula: Dead and Loving It
Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.

The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
August Rush
In a nutshell the film “August Rush” is about fate and dreams. What is fantastic about this great movie is that the young actor, Freddie Highmore acting abilities are simply wonderful. Before “August Rush”, Highmore also appeared in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Finding Neverland”.
The story of “August …
Last Night film
Director Don McKellar brings us a thought provoking, powerful and at times, humorous vision of the last day on earth.
It’s an unusual take on the apocalypse, opting instead to show the very real human tragedy behind the impending disaster. Some sit alone with their own thoughts, others band together …
The Last Airbender (2010) movie
I went and saw this with my girlfriend and her two sisters since they were all die hard viewers of the show as kids and have been excited about this movie since they laid eyes on the previews. So I had to say at first I was caught up …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
The Mummy:Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I love watching movies, especially ones with super effects in them. The Mummy, the first and the second were one of them. So I couldn’t wait to see the third indeed. So I got to see the movie two days ago at the local movie. …

Dumb and Dumber To - Comedy Movie (2014)
I went in expecting this movie to be as funny as its prequel (Dumb and Dumber), which released 20 years ago. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but nevertheless it was funny. It was extremely ‘dumb’ enough to invoke laughter throughout the film. The film has done extremely …
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie
Is the newest Pirates Movie worth watching? A resounding yes! I saw it on the opening day. The Movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth installment of the Pirates Saga.

The Aviator Movie
A movie based on the life of Howard Hughes and all the trials he beared in his lifetime. From the Actresses to the Hearings of his mis-use of government funds and his compulsive tendencies. Leonardo DiCarprio portrays a great Howard Hughes…a well done performance. This movie is not a …

Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …

Stargate SG-1 - Brief Candle
The “Brief Candle” episode of Stargate SG-1 is an okay episode. I watch it alot, but it’s not a huge favorite. There are things I love about it, and there are aspects that keep it from being a stellar show.
The opening scene is wonderful. Richard Dean …

Labor Day (2013 Film)
Labor Day is a film that I was eager to watch after seeing the many trailers on TV. I’m not one for chick flicks or too many sad love stories that don’t end too well. But Labor Day? This movie is what I would call a suitable love story …

High School Musical
This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …
