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 …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …
The Deaths of Ian Stone
I’m a huge SyFy junkie, so when I watched this movie a while back, The Many Deaths of Ian Stone, I was mystified and captivated. Of course, it’s a made-for-tv movie, so the special effects leave a lot to be desired, but as far as these movies go, it’s …

9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …
The Bourne Identity movie
Matt Damon stars as a killer…hmmm, where has this ever been done before. While this film could have been a great film, it fails to deliver the goods. I was left wanting no more after it was all said and done with. The characters were robotic and no life …
Firstborn,1984 movie
This is another depressing movie, of the kind I dislike. I mean, life can be depressing enough, so why take its darkest things onto the screen and drag them on and on? Not that I’m totally opposed to movies showing negative reality, but come on, sometimes enough is enough.
Anyway. …
United 93 movie
It has been five years since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. For most, the wounds are still raw. I wasn’t sure if people would really be interested or prepared for a film about any of the events that took place that day. I know …
Monsters versus Aliens Movie (2009)
I thought this was a pretty good movie at first when I saw the preview on HBO, it’s a science fiction cartoon movie and I haven’t really caught this on the big screen so I was excited to watch this on my new tv set. This movie features Reese …
Employee of the Month
I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …
The Nice Guys (2016 Buddy-Comedy Film)
I am not really a huge fan of buddy-comedy movies. I particularly didn’t enjoy 21 Jump Street that I didn’t bother to check out its sequel. However, I am in a real marathon since falling in love with films recently. I have seen most of the “must-see” movies this year …
“Color Me Blood Red” (1965 Film)
During the early to mid ’60s, renowned horror film writer/director Herschell Gordon Lewis created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. The third installment to a set of three definitive splatter films, known as “The Blood Trilogy”, Color Me Blood Red kept the “blood” theme going strong. After viewing the film, …
The Break-Up (2006)
First time I heard about the break-up that combines Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, I feel very much enthusiastic because I expect a really funny movie about love but unfortunately, I was totally disappointed.
This movie is about Brooke and Gary who break-up but both of them do not want …
The Creeping Man
I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
Zabriskie Point movie
Michelangelo Antonioni’s film about the desolated american youth and the influence of narcotica. A couple of rebellious young people escape from the big city out to the desert and runs around there for a while. Meanwhile they are suspected for criminal activities and chased by the police. That is …
Good Luck Chuck
I just finished watching the ‘unrated’ version of the DVD for this movie, and I must say, it’s totally hilarious. The building up of the movie about Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) being hex by the girl that he refused to make out with when they were young until him …
Gattaca (movie)
The first time that I remember seeing the movie “Gattaca” was some years ago in about 2011. At the time I was a bit baffled because here was this science fiction movie with actors such as Ethan Hawke , Jude Law and Uma Thurman that was released in 1997, …
Premium Rush movie
“Premium Rush” is about bicycle messengers working in Manhattan. The messengers seem to have an embedded code of the area: They are seen rushing past stoplights; riding against the heavy New York traffic; hurling themselves and their transport over all types of barriers and seemingly not knowing …
The Illusionist movie
I am reviewing the movie, THe Illusionist starring Edward Norton, Jessica Beil, and Paul Giomatti, to name a few. Edward Norton’s character learns how to become an illusionist at a very young age, and falls in love with Sophie, Jessica Beil’s character. Sophie’s parents do not like …
Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
Vanilla Sky movie
A remake of the dazzling spanish film that came out a few years earlier called Abre los ojos (Open your eyes). The narrative is very complex and tells the story of a handsome man who’s life completely twists around when he is involved in a car accident. The audience …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
My review is very so so with this movie. I was so excited to see it because I heard how awesome it was and I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. I had it in my NetFlix queue for ever and was uber excited when they finally sent it …
Heartbreak Ridge Movie
Clint Eastwood is a military marine officer who is sent back to his old team because of violent behaviour. He shows them new methods and train them to elite soldiers, even though the head officers don’t approve of his methods.
One this is for sure, this is not one of …

A new film version of the old cult rated tv series about a secret government agency executing sensitive missions, often concerning hostage rescues and similar. Jim Phelps is the leader of this agency, played by Jon Voight, and Tom Cruise plays the charming hero of the story, Ethan Hunt. …
The Transporter
“The Transporter” movie was released when I was still in high school. I believe I was about fourteen years old at the time, and had to listen to most of my friends talking about it as many of them thought the movie was exciting and adrenaline filled. I found …
Dan in Real Life
You cannot help but adore the actors, Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche is this romantic comedy. To be honest, I found it hard to associate Binoche with a comedy because I have always seen her interprets very serious and difficult characters; however I must admit that she is a …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
Eat, Pray, Love (2010 Film)
I don’t know what it is about Julia Robert’s, but no matter what role she plays, I can’t help but be pulled into to whatever the story line may be. In this case, the story line was the well-known novel turned into a film, the 2010 movie “Eat, Pray, …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies.
There are quite a few laughable plots, especially …
VeerZaara Hindi movie
Starring: Sharukh Khan,PreetyZinta,Rani mukhershi,Manoj vajpey,Amitabbachhan,Hema malini.
Everybody knows that VeerZara has won many awards. In my opinion all credit goes to the writer who has written such a nice and different love story. The central idea of this film is ‘Love is nothing but a Sacrifice’. I liked the …
Unknown (movie)
Like many of the movies I’ve watched recently, one of the first places that I heard of the movie “Unknown” was on a movie blog. The plot sounded very promising, so I got the movie and watched it with two people as soon as I had the time. Everyone …
Profession: Reporter movie
Profession: Reporter is the impressive thriller by Michelangelo Antonioni. Jack Nicholson stars as the journalist who gets drawn into a mysterious league of corruption on a high political level.
Antonioni here uses the same style of mysticism as in is masterpiece Blow Up, but not on the same level. Jack …
Monster in the Closet movie
A combination between comedy and horror in which the police find themselves helpless against a strange monster that hides in the closet and kills people for no reason. A professor and a biology teacher takes on the mission of destroying the monster.
This film is a so-called Troma movie, which …
Jack the Giant Slayer (movie)
Even though I have not watched many movies this summer as a result of a lack of time, the movie “Jack the Giant Slayer” was one of the very few that I did, especially since I was looking forward to seeing it ever since I first saw the trailer …
Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
Kingdom of Heaven is a movie starring Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson. The story is set in the middle ages. Orlando Bloom plays Balian, a blacksmith in a small town. When Balian and his wife lose their only child to illness, Balian’s wife commits suicide. When Balian sees …
Legend of Zorro movie
I am reviewing the movie, Legend of Zorro, the sequel to The Mask of Zorro. This movie stars Antonio Benderez and Catherine Zeta Jones. So there’s Zorro. He is played by Antonio Benderez. He and his wife have a son. This son doesn’t know that his …
Iron Man (2008)
Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …
Trading Places
Trading Places with Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Take a one dollar bet between the rich aristocratic Duke brothers over whether or not they can turn their successful Harvard Grad protege into a penniless bum and an amoral con man into a financial genius, …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (movie)
There are some movie that just don’t interest me either because of what I’ve seen in the trailer and the reviews I’ve read about them make them seem ridiculous or something just doesn’t rub me right about them. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was one of those movies. When it …
Feast, 2006 Horror Film
This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …
Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
Wedding Crasher
This is another romantic comedy movie that I like. Watching Wedding Crashers makes me laugh and touch in a same time.
This movie tell abot two bestfriends John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Gray (Vince Vaughn) who always love to come in the wedding uninvited. Their purpose just to looking …
