Transformers - The Movie
I grew up with Transformers. I owned Optimus Prime, watched the cartoons, knew the theme song. So there was both great anticipation and a small amount of dread when I heard that Michael Bay was producing a live action, CGI filled Transformers movie. The anticipation came …
Jackie, 2016 movie
Grief is universal. People can be rich; can be poor; can be famous; can be no one; or can be a first lady like Jackie Kennedy - all of whom will experience the loss of a loved one. You either cry or you try to act like a strong person …
Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …

The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
The Exorcist
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist, starring Jason Miller. Everyone knows what this movie is about, or regarding, so I’ll try to be brief on the summary. Jason Miller’s character, Damien Karras, is a priest who’s lost his faith. He has more interest in looking …
The Fall (R, 2006)
I didn’t realize that Tarsem Singh was responsible for The Cell, as he is also the director on this wonderful film. The colors are so lush and spectacular that you are automatically drawn into the story. As for the story, this is a “period” film set …
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 …
What We Do in the Shadows-2014 Comedy, Horror Movie
What We Do in the Shadows is a comedy movie. It is one of the most inventive and unique movies i have ever seen regardless of its extremely low budget. As a matter of first importance, let me tell you that this is neither a Twilight parody nor it have …
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …

Mean Girls
In the movie “Mean Girls” we see the actress, Lindsay Lohan learning how to be mean after she starts to get a hard time at school. “Mean Girls” is a good teen movie; however it doesn’t represent the best interpretation from Lindsay Lohan.
“Mean Girls” portraits a situation that really …

Birth of a Nation movie
Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …
The Mechanic (movie)
One of my favourite action films for this year so far was the movie “The Mechanic”. Surprisingly though it starred the action movie icon Jason Statham, and of course there was one of my favourite actors who I’ve been watching since he was on Disney, Ben Foster. I’m …
Resident Evil Apocalypse movie
Resident Evil Apocalypse is the second phase of Andersson’s work, linked to the successful game title Resident Evil.
This sequel, which would have been completely different from the first one, has made a lot of changes, but it remains steryl in the story.
Andersson, in fact, complicates his work introducing the …

Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!
Brooklyn is a straightforward storytelling of a small town Irish-girl trying to improve her …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …
Sliders Third Season DVD
Before I go into the show itself featured on this DVD collection, I have to say something about the packaging. The packaging for the first and second seasons DVD collection of Sliders was nothing to write home about, but at least it was serviceable. Sliders Third Season …
Ghostrider
I watched “Ghostrider” with my nephew this afternoon. I had really hoped it would live up to the hype, unfortunately I didn’t think it did.
In the first place I don’t think Nicholas Cage fit the part very well, or at least his voice didn’t and I felt he …
Spy (2015)- Comedy Movie
Spy is a comedy movie written and directed by Paul Feig. Honestly, i was never interested in this movie but the only reason that made me watch it was Jason Statham. According to me he is the biggest attraction, though he is only present for few scenes but being his …
When in Rome (movie) 2010
I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …
A ma Soeur (drama movie)
As someone who has some interest in film, I always find it especially fascinating to read up on the accomplishments of female movie directors. I found the movie “A ma Soeur” as it is named in French by doing research on the French director Catherine Breillat. Between being curious about …

My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
Boogie Nights the movie
This has to be one of the worst movies in history and I am not a fan of boogie nights at all and never have been and never will be and this movie was just a disaster right from the beginning all the way to the end. Seriously mark …
Imagine That movie
I had an early sneak preview of this movie. This is a great movie for the whole family. Eddie Murphy is real good about delivering movies that inspire the whole family, and sometimes teaches us valuable lessons.
If you remember he created the movie “Norbit (2007)”, “Dr Dolittle …

Ironman, new movie released on 2nd May 2008, one of best “machine” movie I ever see after Transformers.

Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Red Cliff movie
The title of the movie does not give away much about the movie itself, although it will give you an idea that it is a place or location which will be significant in the movie.
Basically, this is a war movie set in ancient China wherein a very powerful Prime …

Blood and Black Lace movie
This is Mario Bava at his best. With a cinematic style that was later to become the famous “giallo” genre in italian film industry is here more or less invented by Bava himself. A hideous murder story, unpredictable shock sequences, poweful imagery with a lot of camera movement and …
Movie Superman Returns
