Homeward Bound
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound. I am a huge fan of dogs, and so this movie was perfect for me. I love it. Homeward Bound is about a family of three kids, Peter, Hope, and Jaime. Each kid has a pet. Peter has a Golden …
Happy Feet
I am quite a fan of all this animation movies, they always entertain me and my girlfriend, they are funny, technically splendid, they usually have a good plot, and they are almost never superficial or boring.
Well i didn’t enjoy this one at all.
The impression i had is this:
They did …
Suburban Girl
Suburban Girl is a very sweet and funny story and I have a really fun time watching this. Sarah Michelle Gellar can act in romantic comedy roles as well and she’s a very pleasing eye-candy and a fun to watch. She appears to be brunette in this story …
Movie Control (2007)
Control (2007)is a true rendition on the live of the late singer, Ian Curtis from Joy Division. He was a singer and his tale was told in this black and white movie. I’ve always wondered what it’s like for singers and the likes to suffer from depression …
Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
I have always loved satirical and fantasy movies and “Robin Hood: Men In Tights” is one that gives me the best of both worlds. I will say right now, this movie is not for everyone, but if you like satire, this is the one to see. Mel Brooks really …

Scientists come to a small town to do research when a strange tooth came into their possession. With the help of the local law enforcement officers and town folk, they manage to locate where exactly the nature of the strange tooth originated and what they found is big very …
Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …
The Disaster Artist (2017 Biographical Comedy-Drama Film)
A lot of biopics (or movies about real people) are made about successful people who did amazing jobs in their respective fields. I can’t think of many films that do the opposite until The Disaster Artist. A movie about director Tommy Wiseau who made the worst (as some would say) …
The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …
Movie Casablanca
We watch a lot of movies and we enjoy the different types of movies that are available. Today movies are an art form that the tastes of indivudals decide how and what you are going to see in the movie theater.
Every once in a while it …
Scream Dream
The low budget horror film Scream Dream is a very sad attempt to recreate previous successful cinematic shockers. The lighting of the this movie is absolutely terrible, and the acting abilities are worse. You get a very strong impression that the movie was produced with a home video …
Stolen Life (2005)
If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …
The Abyss
The Abyss is a James Cameron movie, the one which directed Titanic, and I just have one question for the guy. Is he so interested in the elements of deep sea..? That’s what I felt when I watched The Abyss. It sort of rhymes and intertwined and …
Movie: The Box
Oh how trailers can be deceiving, this weekend my older sister and I went to the movie theater in search of some action to spice up the night. An hour before we had seen a trailer for a movie called The Box, sounded pretty mysterious. …

Lovewrecked movie
When this movie came out, I wasn’t really sure if I’m going to watch it or not. I am not a very big fan of teen-age movies as I am not a teen-ager anymore. But since I admire Amanda Bynes so much, I decided to give it a try.
Here, …
Gingerdead Man 2 - The Passion Of The Crust Movie
Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Ok my good people, I guess we asked for it and it was given to us as promised, this is where Hollywood meets police meets Hollywood get it? Me neither, but in essence, this movie is about two police detectives who are not getting enough payment from their regular …
Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …
A Map of the World (R, 1999) movie
Every once in a while you have to go back about ten years or so and find those hidden cinematic gems that you might have missed. They are not always advertised no trailers. And in many cases, the films go directly to DVD for any number of …
Avatar (2009 film)
Making the highest grossing film of all times is James Cameron’s trademark ability in the moviemaking industry. Avatar indeed delivers visual greatness of unseen scope just like Titanic did in 1997. Truth remains that the visuals are not enough to make a movie Number 1 at the box office. …
Gidget’s Summer Reunion
Over a decade since we’d last seen Gidget Lawrence, she returns in Gidget’s Summer Reunion, a 1985 made-for-TV movie. The latest Gidget is Caryn Richmond, and she made a great Gidget. She takes on more of the Karen Valentine style of Gidget, a woman who has grown …

Avatar movie
I had no idea what this movie was going to be about before I saw it with my friends. I went to see it out of boredom. However, I was not bored long. Avatar is a 3D movie, which may cost a little more to see in theaters, but …
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 …
The Big Racket, movie (1976)
In the wake of 1971’s The French Connection, the Italian film industry came up with their own stamp on gritty, police dramas. This genre became known as poliziottesco and were infamous for their depiction of Italy’s criminal underworld. Enzo G. Castellari would become the director best known …
1941 movie
I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.
I’m thinking my tastes in comedies has changed over the …
Passion of the Christ
An intensely moving film, The Passion of the Christ explores the last day of the life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. As a Christian myself, I was led to tears at what I witnessed. So often we go to church every Sunday and forget what the true meaning …
Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …

Take Me Home Tonight (2011 Movie)
This is one of those movies that wastes all of it’s good scenes in the trailer to entice people to come see it. When you actually watch the whole movie, you’ll realize you’ve already seen all the good parts and you’re left with a mediocre, forgettable movie.
I missed this …
10,000 B.C.
My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …
The Deal (movie)
Of course, I am neither a fan of films of the romance comedy genre, nor the popular romance actress Meg Ryan, but one day when I was very bored and nothing else was being aired on cable television, I decided to watch the movie “The Deal”. I had never …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice 2010 Movie
I don’t know about you, but I love fantasy and sci-fi movies. I just can’t get enough of them. When a new one comes out I’m either first in the theater or renting it as soon as it’s possible. I’ve seen them all, from the …
A Town without Pity-movie
“A Town without Pity” (1961) is a black and white movie filmed in Austria dealing with American occupying forces in Germany. The movie, based on the novel by Manfred Gregor, features one of the most haunting, raucous recurring songs ever, “A Town without Pity” sung by Gene Pitney. The …
Green Zone
Green Zone movie is based on the American invasion of Iraq and the truth behind it. I reckon its one of the best Non-Friction movie made this year and the truth behind the Iraq war has really been well told by the movie. Really liked the Matt Damon’s acting …
Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …

Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
