Movies Reviews
Night at the Museum
‘Night at the Museum’ directed by Shawn Levy has very peculiar story which interests my a strange manner. In general, it is movie which kids will enjoy more. But, that does not mean that it does not deserve adult viewers. Ben Stiller, playing the lead role has acted to …
Cold Storage movie 2006
I rented the movie Cold Storage because I am a fan of horror films. Even the bad ones can sometimes yield some humor so I rarely bother to read reviews before I choose them. This film was made in 2006 and set in Tennessee. I will start by …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
Movie: Sukob
Another movie I am going to comment on was the movie of again, Kris Aquino. But this time, she was with Claudine Baretto, the former teleserye queen of Filipino TV. I remember watching this movie with friends (officemates) when it was still showing in the cinemas. Well it was …
Seems Like Old Times movie
In 1980, Neil Simon’s play, Seems Like Old Times, was brought to the big screen with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn playing the lead roles of ex-married couple Nick and Glenda. Glenda has remarried, and her husband is moving up in governmental circles. The husband, Ira Parks, …
The Return movie
I went to see “The Return” today and I can tell you this movie surprises me. When I first went into the movie theatre, I thought this movie was just another ghost movie. However, I went to watch it anyway because Sarah Michelle Gellar is on of my favorite …
The Hobbit movie
The old animated depiction of Tolkien’s beloved story, the only version of it that actually exists, but since The Lord of the Rings was such an enormous success I believe we will see a new version of The Hobbit very soon. This animated version was made in a time …
“Bruce Almighty” (2003 Film)
What happens when a negative man who feels as though God is out to get him gets the power of God and must therefore do God’s job? The 2003 comedy “Bruce Almighty” happened. This film was funny and very insightful to how much we can sometimes make situations all …
Disney’s Mulan movie
If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
This is the second movie of Rowan Atksinson as Mr. Bean, after the very funny and attracting ” Bean ” while, for me, this second movie is better than the first one because besides there are classical jokes from Mr. Bean, we can also see the beautiful view of …
Igor movie
I rented the movie Igor through Netflix this weekend and, when I did, I really didn’t know what to expect from it. I had seen some previews but they didn’t reveal enough of the movie to let me know if it was something I was going to like or …
Saving Sarah Caine movie
I saw previews of “Saving Sarah Cain” before watching another movie, and it looked like something I would not only want to watch but probably also add to my movie collection. I bought a DVD from Amazon shortly after that, and my husband and I watched the movie together.
“Saving …
Dahmer
This film, based on the killings of infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dhamer is a complicated film to judge. On one hand, it documents his crimes accurately enough, and for a big screen or small screen adaption of anything of the sort, the facts can be lost in the fiction, …
The Illusionist movie
I watched this movie today. It was very entertaining to watch. It’s unique, different from most movies. It brings something different to the screen. I liked all of the actors in it and they did a very good job playing their roles. I was entertained and interested in the …
Private Lives of Pippa Lee film
I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I watched it on my Virgin on Demand service - I was basically browsing for an easy, fun, romantic comedy and thought this fit the bill from the description.
It’s not just a ‘chick flick’ or your predictable Romcom though.
First off, our …
Alien 1 1979 Director’s Cut Blu-Ray Movie
Alien. Just the name of the movie series has inspired fear and the knowledge that I was going to see some kind of creepy and out-of-this-world frightening creature that was going to come out of the darkness and shadows to make me want to jump out of my skin. …
Star Trek The Motion Picture movie
This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …
Mission to Mars Movie
Brian De Palma is a filmmaker I used to be big fan of. When I first saw his incredibly powerful films from the 1980s, like Scarface and The Untouchables, he become one of my favorites, but unfortunately he proved to be a very uneven director who got worse with …
Dead Silence (2007)
If you’re in the mood for some mindless scares, the recently released “Dead Silence” might be a good choice for you. I, however, find it too gory and frightening, and having no deeper message than “Boo!!” is, for me, a big turn-off.
The story is about a dead ventriloquist (performer …
Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …
A Walk To Remember movie
I was able to watch the A Walk To Remember movie when I was in high school, which was roughly seven years ago and yet I still remember it very clearly and I love the movie very much. I didn’t even know it was based from the book until …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 1
RomeoXJuliet is a Japanese Anime based on William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, it’s very loosely based on it and there are many major changes to the story’s plot and characters. Episode 1 starts out with Lord Leontes Montague slaughtering the Capulet family except for a …
Bicentennial Man
There is something special about robot movies, provided that they are done well, of course. This one is. Robin Williams plays Andrew, the ‘bicentennial man’ - a robot. Built to work as a servant (a bit of a clich perhaps, but it is only logical to use robots for …
DVD UFC II
Royce returns in UFC II to win his second tournament and, although some of the matches are quite good such as Royce vs Pat Smith, this event will be forever known for an overmatched Fred Ettish getting a horrible, one sided beating at the hands of Johnny Rhodes.
Actually, there …
Roll Bounce
RollBounce is a movie starring Shad Gregory Moss (little bow wow).
It’s about a young teenage boy whose having a difficult time going on with his life after the death of his mother. Xavier who Shad Moss plays, enjoys skating very much. After the local skating rink is closed down …
Shallow Grave
Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave is a high tension, psychological thriller that unfortunately, tends to be overshadowed by his much more acclaimed Trainspotting. This is unfortunate, because in my opinion Shallow Grave is almost as fantastic as that film, and deserves the attention of more people.
The film follows three housemates; Alex, …
Elfen Lied
Considered by many to be the most cruel anime ever made, Elfen Lied contains some of the most disturbing violence ever animated. That said it is also one of the truly beautiful and powerful pieces of art and story that I have ever seen.
Based on the manga by Lynn …
Shrek Forever After (2010)
This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …
Employee of the Month movie
“Employee of the Month” had to be a Jessica Simpson movie after her success movie “The Dukes of Hazzard”. Unfortunately for her this movie represented her nomination for the Razzie Award as the worst actress in a female role.
However, there are positive aspects to “Employee of the Month”. This …
Juno
A friend recommended this movie to me, saying it has been nominated in some awards and had receive some like Academy Awards 2008 Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. I was curious with it and though the movie cover does not look as interesting as it claimed …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …
I Spit on Your Grave 2, Movie 2013
I spit on your grave 2 is directed by Steven R. Monroe, based on the original 1978 film where a woman is repeatedly raped and tortured and then escapes and gains revenge. This film has been thought out to every last detail and although some of the scenes …
Chronicle (Movie )
First off, I’m going to say although I don’t absolutely love the found footage genre, I absolutely without a doubt loved Chronicle. Of course I had my problems with it but at the end of the day it was a really good movie. My favorite thing about this film …
Rachel Getting Married (2008 film)
The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …
The Fourth Kind Movie
I watched “The Fourth Kind” movie in theaters soon after it was released. My companion and I hadn’t planned on seeing this movie but were intrigued by the advertisements and when we had a free evening, decided to see it.
The opening is pretty interesting the way they indicate that …
Ice Princess
Ice Princes is about a girl named Casey Carlie who is trying to complete a physics project so she can get a scholarship for college. Her professor told her to make it about something personal. That’s when she came up with the idea to study the girls figure skating …
Kurt & Courtney movie
A documentary film that tries to find out the mystery of the death of music legend Kurt Cobain. It was told Kurt committed suicide, but this documentary presents a series of evidence he was actually killed by his girlfriend Courtney Love.
This could well be the most speculative and idiotic …
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
Little Man movie
It’s amazing what they can do with the help of computers today. Marlon Wayans, who is not little at all, plays the “Little Man” - a midget, a criminal named Calvin. Calvin and his buddy Percy steal a huge diamond which they later have to hide in a young …
Movie She’s the Man
“She’s the Man” is the movie that confirms what a great actress, Amanda Bynes is. In this movie, we see her interpret the role of a boy most of the time. On a personal level, this movie was a great success for the actor, Channing Tatum because he managed …
Rugrat’s In Paris movie
Rugrat’s in Paris is a great family movie. This is the sequel to the first Rugrat movie. This movie is about Chuckie’s family growing and his visit overseas to Japan. I liked that this movie is great for children as well as for adults. At least, the adults that …
DarkMan
I think DarkMan is one of the greatest and best super heros ever made. This guy is just awesome and the story about how he became DarkMan is even more amazing. I think the special effects are just great for this movie being made in the year 1990. I had …
Jarhead
Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …
Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …

Myers stars as a self help guru,Maurice Pitka.His main ambition is to top a rival self help guru,Deepak Chopra in popularity.An oppuritunity arises whichmight give him teh chance to rise in popularity.

Forever at the top in the world of animation, Disney broke even more ground with this lushly animated and wonderfully told new version of the classic french fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. So wonderous was this instant classic, that it was the first ever animated film to ever …
