Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …
Tekken (2010) Film
Is the 2010 Tekken movie a proper tribute to the game it was based on? Or will it follow the footsteps of the vast majority of movies based on video games and simply—¦ well, suck?
I gotta say, from the time I saw the trailer, I never expected this …
Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …

Since Ironman one of comic/superhero character, publisher need to create different story between others superhero such as spiderman,batman and superman. The difference is ironman not a super biological person but rather …
Dragonball Evolution
I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …

Josie and the Pussy Cats (2001)
This movie is about a group of girls who came together to form a musical band. Similar to most movies that sport the music theme, this one is no different, I mean, you’ve seen one movie about music bands, you’ve seen them all. There are basically no real differences …

Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …

The Guardian Movie
I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …

Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …
The Prince & Me
When the Prince & Me came out on DVD, I avoided it. But, when it showed up on cable, my wife forced me to watch it. What a cheesy film.
I’m sorry but how many movies can you possibly make about a rich spoiled brat from another country who falls …
30 Days of Night
As far as vampire flicks go, the movie 30 Days of Night has a lot of potential. However, it falls a bit short.
When I saw the previews for the movie, I just had to see it. After all, what can be scarier than a group of vampires visiting an …
Eddie and the Cruisers
I watched the DVd “Eddie and the Cruisers” last evening.

Haunted Honeymoon
Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …

Ocean’s Eleven Movie
A new version of the 1960 version with Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, which I honestly haven’t been able to find myself. The new version is directed by Steven Soderburgh, a praised director most known for his films Traffic and Erin Brockowich. Personally I think this director is …

Final Destination IV movie
I almost didn’t finish this movie when I watched it with my friends in September of 2009. It was just released a few days ago, and so the cinema at Strawberry Hills mall here in Surrey, Canada was filled to the rafters.
It was released in 3-D so …

Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties

Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …

Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
Iron Man (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …

Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.
Sandra …
Delta Farce movie
I have to admit, I always liked Larry the Cable Guy as a stand-up comedian but his movies, though somewhat dumb, are pretty good.
The movie Delta Farce is definitely a good example of this.
Larry, Bill Engvall and D.J. Qualls play a group of army reservists who are called up …
