Flesh and Bone
Flesh and Bone with Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, James Caan, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The title picked up my attention, but I guess it was just a trick to get me to watch a boring mundane movie. I suppose it was meant to be flesh and …
Are We Done Yet movie
As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …
Twister
Helen Hunt is just a good actress and I wonder whether she has ever won an acting award or not. Her appearance was very good, especially in the movie, Twister, which I watched years back. My local TV channel loves to showcase long-ago movies which had been blockbuster …
The Bucket List
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …
Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th part 2 is the film that really brings the series to life. The first movie was all about the mother seeking revenge on what she perceived to be the culprits behind her son’s death. With her character out of the way, we could finally get down …
13: Game of Death (Movie)
This was actually a pretty good movie and I was surprised that I liked it because I usually don’t like Japanese imports. Technically this one is from Thailand, but I didn’t realize that until I went to change the subtitles on the movie.
The movie is all about this …
Maybe Logic Documentary
Maybe Logic is a documentary on the life and thought of Robert Anton Wilson. Wilson is best known for his “Illuminatus Trilogy” written with Robert Shea (The Illuminatus Trilogy was, prior to watching this documentary, my only contact with the work of the man).
The documentary is really quite …
Showgirls movie
Showgirls is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. A lot of critics disagree and call this one of the worst movies ever made. But the movie has become a cult classic now. I love the movie because it’s one of the only mainstream movies to have lots …
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown
There is a brilliant spot in Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown. It’s actually a parody of the TV drama, Hill Street Blues. I recognized what was happening almost immediately. It surrounded Roxy (Jasmine Guy), who is a meter maid on the show. She …
What Happens in Vegas
I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …

George Lopez: America’s Mexican
I love the George Lopez shows, that air on nick. But the stand up I found kind of racy and not to funny. Some parts was more funny I enjoyed the childhood parts but overall I am glad he is proud of his race, but it got to the …
No Country for Old Men (2007)
From the beginning scene of the aftermath of a violent drug scene gone bad through the end this movie features a series of violent scenes. All the men seem bent on men trying to cowboy up and deal with the problem in true Texas fashion: with more violence. Don’t …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
Requiem for a Dream
Whoever told you that this movie is a wacky comedy, they lied.
It has its amusing moments, mostly the hallucinations of Harry’s mother, but this is a dark and pretty depressing movie.
It could’ve so easily fallen into the hackneyed hammering in of the idea that “drugs are bad …
A walk to Remember
I’d watched this movie when I was in college together with my college friends.
A very touching and heartwarming story.And I could watch it over and over again. I have to admit I shed tears watching this sad,sweet story of Landon and Jamie..My best movie of all time..
This is …

Spirit Trap
Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …

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 …
Movie Juanna Mann
I used to hear my friends in high school talking about the movie Juanna Mann a lot and how hilarious it was, but I didn’t know what they were talking about until it premiered on comedy central one Saturday. I was so used to my frieneds telling me how …
Movie Transformers
When I heard that the Transformers was going to be made into a movie, I was so looking forward to it. I was in grade school during the 80’s when the cartoons became so popular on TV. There were even toys sold everywhere for every character. I wondered how …
Biwi No 1 (movie), 1999
I watched Biwi No 1 at theatre with my mother and family. It is a very funny film. I enjoyed it a lot. It released in 1999. This film is directed by David Dhawan. David Dhawan is known for his comedy movies and this one is surely funny. The …
When Harry Met Sally movie
When Harry Met Sally is an old movie, but really a classic. It came out sometime in the 80s, when Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, who star in the movie, were still relatively young. The movie has stood the test of time and been a favorite for …
Final Destination 3
Final Destination 3 is one crazy movie. It seems so real and really makes you think about things you do in everyday life. This movie is the sequel to the 1 and 2nd final destination. All three movies are about someone having a vision before a major crash …
The Greatest Show on Earth movie
This is the everyday life among some individuals in a circus companionship. The basic idea is the same as Fellini’s La Strada or Bergman’s Sawdust & Tinsel. The Greatest Show on Earth was directed by the legendary silent filmmaker Cecil B. Demille (during his sound period however) and is …
The Pink Panther 2
Today I watched “The Pink Panther 2″,because I really like the previous movie,so I went to see this movie,but I have to say that this movie let me down.It has a very foolish story,and a very weak screenplay.But I am a big fan of Steve Martin,and the only thing …

Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
I Love You Man movie
I Love You Man is about a man who’s about to get married but finds he doesn’t have anyone to be his best man or part of his wedding party. He’s been a girlfriend kind of a guy his whole life and never really established any male friendships along …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife is probably going to be liked more by women than by men. I thought it was okay but was hard to follow. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not spent theater prices to see it and should have just waited until it …
My Sister’s Keeper Movie (2009)
I just came back home from watching My Sister’s Keeper in theaters. I thought it would be really good, and I was really excited to watch it. I have read the book by Jodi Picoult, and I thought that it was a really touching book. I absolutely loved it, …
Girlfight movie
The story about a female boxer with a hectic life at home. With a will made of iron, she challenges everyone who comes in her way, and falls in love with a young man of the same age.
I think Girlfight is a very engaging story with good acting overall. …
Stargate movie
A few years after I became familiar with cable television, I began to notice different science fiction television series with the name “Stargate” included in its title. Even today, I have not watched it, but at the same time am familiar with shows such as “Stargate SG1″ and “Stargate …
Movie: “Monster House” (2006)
This adorable family classic brings the haunted house to a whole new level. Beautifully animated, it was nominated for an Academy Award and produced by the brilliant Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg.
DJ Walters (Mitchel Musso) has a morbid fascination with the creepy house across the street, and its owner, …
Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain Movie
En epic Hong Kong action movie about an ordinary man who gets involved in battles between good and evil on the old mysterious mountain of Zu.
This is one of the strangest films I’ve ever experiences. I suppose the filmmakers were trying to create some kind of experimental and innovative …
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” …
The Last Legion
I admit I only watched this film because I couldn’t imagine the actor, Colin Firth in the role of a Roman Commander. I just couldn’t picture him on big screen after watching him in the role of the prim and proper Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” or …
Out of Time movie 2003
Out of Time with Denzel Washington is an action packed, non-stop tension kind of movie.
Anything with Denzel in it tends to be good at the least—“ and this is no exception. He plays a police chief who gets himself into the most unbelievable heap of trouble you can imagine, …
Hot Rod (the movie)
Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …
The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …
Illusion travels by streetcar movie

2012 Movie
Doomsday films are everywhere! Honestly I’m really entertained watching different kind of doomsday movie because it gives us a story of struggle, survival and hope. When I saw the movie 2012 available on DVD I immediately bought it and go home because this is the most anticipated doomsday movie …
Last House on the Left movie

Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
