SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3 D
It’s been a long while since I truly enjoyed a 3D movie! Most of them are gory and that is not what I enjoy. I have been watching and watching, again, a 3D movie that is really fun to watch and totally with a “G” rating. My grandsons are …
Big Trouble In Little China
The eighties are definitely gone and not coming back, but some movie magic we got from that decade will live on forever. Among many classic movies that the eighties gave us was Big Trouble In Little China, an instant classic. Coming out in eighty-six, Big Trouble in Little China …
Juno — the movie
Juno was a movie released a few years ago. It followed the story of a pregnant teenager, from the time she found out she was pregnant via a pregnancy test she bought in a local drugstore, through her decision to put the baby up for adoption, and then …
Springtime in the Rockies movie
Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Slamdog Millionaire
I would first like to warn you that this review will contain a spoiler later on, I will clearly indicate it, so if you haven’t seen the movie, don’t read the spoiler!
Slamdog millionaire is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is really well filmed …
Hello, Dolly!
When Hello, Dolly! was brought to the big screen in 1969 after being a successful musical on Broadway, Hollywood cast Barbra Streisand in the role of Dolly Levi. It wasn’t a role she wanted. After all, she was too young to play the matronly Levi. On …
Due Date Movie (2010)
I watched this movie during the weekend, and I was excited to see Sonny the French Bulldog and along one of my favorite actors Robert Downey Junior. This movie is a comedy and the plot is all about an excited expectant father Peter Highman (Robert Downey Junior) being accidentally …
Storm Warning Movie
Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
A british comedy that stars the likes of Mos Def, Martin Freeman, Zooey Deschanel, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Sam Rockwell and the voice of Alan Rickman as a melodramatic robot.
It’s a love story/action/drama/mystery/comedy/horror film all rolled up in a nice bundle with a very long name as the title. …
Movie Butterfly’s Effect
The Butterfly’s Effect is a fast pacing thriller with elements of fantasy or science-fiction (the idea of alternate worlds). It is often compared to mind blowing movies like Memento or Harry Angel but in fact that is a little too far fetched a comparison. First of all, Ashton Kutcher …
E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (1982) movie
Starring: Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, and Peter Coyote.

Harry potter

Movie: Avatar
I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the movie Avatar at the theater and finally got a chance to watch it on DVD this past weekend. At the time we rented it, I figured it would be good but wouldn’t live up to all the hype. I was wrong. It …
Triloquist (Movie)
Triloquist is one of the strangest and worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie was released by Dimension Extreme and that combined with the fact that it was made by the makers of Leprechaun was enough to make me plop down the $4 for the rental …
CBGB (movie)
When I saw the title of this movie on the cable guide recently, I wasn’t sure what to expect from it, especially since the acronym just did not sound familiar to me. However, when I read the description, which indicated that it had to do with a part of …
The Bank Job (2007 version)
Who ever said that the movie, “The Bank Job” directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens is a good movie, well he/she doesn’t know what they are talking about. This supposed to be dramatic movie has a good story, but the end result is really horrible due to the way …
Till the Clouds Roll By movie
Till the Clouds Roll By is a highly fictionalized account of the life and career of composer Jerome Kern. The sad part of this is that Kern was apparently willing to provide information for this movie, but he died before it even went into production. Thus, because …

The Girl Gets Moe
At first I didn’t think the movie “The Girl Gets Moe” was very popular since I did a search for it online to see what people were saying in their reviews about it, and I only found a few results, but then I realised that it also goes by …

Daddy’s Little Girls
OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.
Personally, I never have been a big …
Where God Left his Shoes movie
I am a big fan of small movies, and I just watched another great one on DVD, called “Where God Left his Shoes.” The actors in it are relative unknowns, at least to me, and this movie received very little attention. The plot is quite a heart-wrenching story of …
Girl Positive movie
I’ve honestly never sat down to watch Lifetime movies before. But, after seeing the movie Girl Positive, I think I’ll be doing that more often.
At first, I didn’t know what to think about the movie, which is meant to be an honest portrayal of how the HIV virus can …
The Garden movie
As far as documentaries go, The Garden, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, has everything that I love in this genre of film. It is a film that depicts the battle for a 14 acre piece of land in south central Los Angeles following …

Four Christmases movie
I was only able to watch Four Christmases on HBO and I have enjoyed watching it so much that it is now one of my favorite Christmas movies.
The movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as Kate and Brad, a couple who seemed to have everything going for them. …
Thor (movie)
One of the movies I had been looking forward to seeing since 2010 was the movie “Thor”. This was not only because I’m a big comic book fan, but because it sounded like it was going to be big from the start. When I watched it for the first …

Aristocrats (2005)
I had heard from a friend whose taste I respect that this was a remarkable movie, so I decided to check it out. Well, it’s different, I’ll say that.
This is a movie about a joke — a filthy joke, a single joke, and one told over and over in …
Mr. Untouchable (DVD)
Many people were up in arms about “American Gangster” starring Denzel Washington. The story of Frank Lucas is quite fascinating. But then later on, months after the movie’s hype had died down, I started hearing some things about Frank Lucas and Nicky Barnes. In American Gangster, …

This is an animation movie by Pixar Animation which features a robot named Wall-E. Every picture of Pixar is focused on a central character which stirs a wave of appreciation whenever it is introduced. Wall-E, I feel is the cutest of all the characters that I have seen till …
Pirates 3
I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …

Pirate Radio is a movie that puts to picture the love for rock n roll that is in every single one of us. The plot is about an illegal radio station that broadcasts on international waters to avoid the law enforcement and its regulations. However, this movie goes …
The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …

Blood The Last Vampire [DVD]. Animated horror movie
Blood: The Last Vampire offers wonderful animation, grisly action, and an awesome main character, but lacks in overall length and depth of what truly could have been a perfect title. Saya is on the hunt for chiropterans, vampire-like demons that are wreaking havoc on a military base in Japan. …
Prom Night (Movie)
This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …
