The 400 Blows (1959 Classic Film)
I have recently been introduced in world cinema with this Francois Truffaut film, and to my surprise, I seriously love this masterful class of work. At first, it seems like just a typical film that I keep on ignoring every time my television plays some black and white film, …
Moon: Movie
Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …
Superhero Movie
When I saw previews to Superhero Movie, I wasn’t really sure whether it would be funny or not. From the previews, I thought it would just focus on known super heroes like Superman and Batman and find ways to spoof them; a formula that has worked on some subjects …
Princess Mononoke (US Version)
Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …
Blood Diamond movie
You know, even though I take an interest in world politics, I have found I’m not a huge fan of movies about obscure problems in other countries.
That’s probably why, even though I tried to enjoy the film Blood Diamond, I found myself actually getting bored by it.
The plot wasn’t …
The Forgotten (movie)
The Forgotten is a movie you will want to forget. Okay, in fairness to The Forgotten and the people who made the film as well as the actors playing in it, it’s not that bad. The Forgotten is a good rainy day movie where you can sit with your …
Movie: The Dark Ages
I had some free time yesterday because I decided to take the day off from work and didn’t have my youngest daughter like I thought would be the case. Since I had to wait for my wife to get home before leaving to do something, I ended up looking …

Watching The Matrix movie is really exiting and absorbing the attention adventure. Based on a original idea, it shows us one fantastic reality, in which the the ordinary people became extraordinary under the pressure of the circumstances. The main meaning is that the most important thing in our …
Starsky And Hutch movie
Starsky and Hutch is a remake of the television series by the same name that was highly popular in the 1970s. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this hilarious movie. Now, I do not usually watch movies like this, because they are just the kind of comedies I …
The Lakehouse (2006) Movie
Life is only travelled once. Today’s moments may be tomorrow’s memories. The movie Lakehouse depicts the story of two people who fell in love through a time difference of two years– a past and a future. Alex (Keannu Reeves) and Kate (Sandra Bullock) proved to the world that …
Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …
Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …

Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
Transformers Movie
A movie made in the likeness of a toy brand.
There was a bit of talk both in news headlines and the film industry when the trailers for the new transformers movie were released. I didn\’t exactly expect an adult theme or plot until I saw the first trailer. …

Casino Royale Movie
I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …

Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …
Reaching for the Moon movie
Reaching for the Moon from 1930 starred Douglas Fairbanks as Larry Day, Bebe Daniels as Vivien Benton, and Edward Everett Horton as Roger, the Valet. Even so, one of the best parts of the movie was a small segment that included Bing Crosby.
Crosby played himself and only sang one …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, movie
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was released in 2010. It is one of a number of movies based on video games. The Prince of Persia video games on PlayStation and PlayStation two (and now PlayStation three) are very popular. I have never played the games, …
Kung Fu Panda
I am not a big fan of animated films. I watch them every now and then, but I am not so keen on seeing them. But when I saw the trailer of Kung Fu Panda, I instantly want to watch it. The trailer was cool, the story and also …
Dracula: Dead And Loving It
This is Mel Brooks’s version of Count Dracula story, released in 1995. All I can say is funny, funny, FUNNY! Just thinking of it makes me smile. Leslie Nielsen as the imposing but a little clumsy Dracula who keeps messing things up, Peter MacNicol as an unsuspecting London solicitor …
Satan’s Playground
If you ever want to spend 90 minutes of your life feeling like you are wasting your time, you should watch the movie Satan’s Playground.
I was glad I got this movie on Instant Watch because it meant I didn’t waste my money on it.
The movie was one of the …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
Holy Motors (2012 film - avant garde, drama film)
Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …

Absolute Boyfriend is a manga by Yu Watase, a romance comedy with a little bit of science fiction. It is about a high school girl by the name of Riiko Izawa who is always rejected by every boy she likes. One day a salesman gives her a website when …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Regal White Oak Stadium 14
I love this movie theater. It is located in a shopping center complex, where I can easily eat at a fast food or sit down restaurant before or after the movie, and also do some shopping. It is usually crowded, so I have to walk a little ways to …
Father Hood
This Patrick Swayze movie is one of my very favorites. Patrick is wonderful in the role of Jack Charles where, for the first time, he plays a father. The problem with the marketing of the movie, though, is that people misunderstood the title and thought the movie …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
Shinobi
This movie, titled Shinobi, is about 1 hr and 56 minutes and I cried while watching. It tells a story of love, action and adventure, and there is also some violent images, so the rating R is there.
I am not sure why movies about war and romance always …
The Game Plan
I would describe this recent release as nothing special but okay. While it is probably not going to become a beloved classic, this family-oriented movie is warm, clean, funny at times, and it tries to deliver a positive message. In a nutshell, a tough NFL football player too full …
Prometheus, Movie by Director Ridley Scott
In 1977 the director Ridley Scott managed to terrify movie fans all around the world with his masterpiece “Alien”, crossing the genres of horror and science fiction. Over the years the film has become a classic and caused countless sequels in the form of more films, books and comics. …
Crank (2006)
I saw this movie, and you have got to believe this I was in some kind of hallucination or translation while I was watching it. The movie really pulled me into it and I was almost like lost in it. It was as if you have entered some kind …

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
Monster Squad
It has been a long while since I got to see the movie Monster Squad. So, when I was bored this weekend, I popped in the 20th anniversary addition I’ve owned but never opened and watched it again.
Overall, I still think it’s a good movie. But, I will confess …
Minority Report
If you prevent an event from happening, does it change whether or not it will happen? And if so, if you prevent a murder from happening, would it have happened, and furthermore, would the potential subject be guilty of the crime that did not even take place? …
500 Days of Summer: Movie
500 Days of Summer is quite an interesting, and unique film. I decided to watch it after hearing of comparisons with Garden State, which I loved.
The boy likes girl storyline has perhaps been overused a lot throughout the history of cinema, but this is written and directed in a …
