Air Force One
Out of Harrison Ford’s movies, the film Airforce One might actually be one of the most underrated.
In the film, Harrison plays the United States President and is kidnapped onboard the presidential plane, along with his family. And, unlike many other presidents, who might sit and do nothing, he ends …

Breakfast in Hollywood movie
Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.
The …
The Butterfly Effect (2004)
One of the few adequate performances by Ashton Kutcher (who normally works a tired cliché part). Here he does an acceptable job (but not a great one) of portraying the main character who is able to move back in time and change the future. The movie is …
Notorious (Movie)
There are four reasons I love Notorious. First, because it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. I think he was the best classic movie director. The next three reasons are the stars of the movie, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Rains was the supporting actor, …
Movie: Cold Creek Manor (2003)

Disney’s Robin Hood
Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan of the Robin Hood legend I am. Those same people know what a huge Disney fan I am also. I should be in hog heaven then, when, along comes the marriage of both into one feature animated film.
All I can …
The Last Airbender Movie
I am the biggest Avatar fan in the world. I absolutely love the series and I remember it being an integral part of my childhood. And I have to admit, I still rewatch the series every now and then even though it is kind of a childish show. The …
Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
Mortal Kombat (2010)
The first time I saw this video, I honestly thought it was a fluke, a trick video. Then I recognized Michael Jay White, from Spawn. That’s when it hit me that this was a real video. From what I’ve read, it’s not an upcoming trailer or anything like it. …
Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties
We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …

300
First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …
Batman Begins
This is the first batman movie that had all the ideals of Batman character. It is fantastic movie. I liked it a lot. If you really want to know about batman go and watch this movie. It shows how a rich boy comes to street and then becomes batman …
Dallas Buyers Club (2013 - biographical drama movie)
Dallas Buyers Club is one of those movies that is a career builder. Specifically, it is a career builder for the two main actors in the film - Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both of these actors each get in the film a lifetime opportunity that any actors would kill …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People movie
I did not pay the movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” any attention when it was advertising because I thought that it was going to be yet another one of those celebrity packed “comedies” that was not very funny. However, when I was forced to watch it …
30 Days of Night (R, 2007) movie
I am really really disappointed that I got so excited before this film came out. I thought, judging from the previews, that this movie was going to touch on an aspect of vampirism which had been unexplored in previous films. The concept of there being 30 days …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead
My wife and I absolutely loved the 2001 movie Joy Ride. So, when we saw there was a sequel, we wanted to see it. However, when we rented it, we figured it probably would turn out not to be any good.
While the movie didn’t live up to the original, …
A Thousand Words (movie)
I’m really not a huge fan of Eddie Murphy’s movies and so when the movie “A Thousand Words” came out I wasn’t really interested in seeing it. It took me a couple months of yearning for a proper comedy to watch and a little bit of boredom to see …
Grumpy Old Men movie

The Maid - A Horror Movie
I have seen the DVD and CD of the movie The Maid when I was in the Philippines, but I did not pay attention to it. It didn’t make big on screen. Because I have never heard any news or promotional tour about the movie.

Amusement (R, 2008) movie
“Amusement” is one of those horror films that you have to watch with few expectations. I went into the movie with an open mind. I liked the fact that the film was broken up into parts, sections that would ultimately culminate into something that I could fuse …

The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
Patch Adams (movie)
I just love the movie, Patch Adams. This is the greatest movie! Robin Williams is Patch Adams, the doctor who is destined for greatness even though he doesn’t realize all the wonderful things he is going to do. What Patch Adams knows is that he methods are unconventional and …
Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.
I do not believe that this movie made the big screen as it was pretty cheesy. It focuses on two crimes in New York City. One was a black cop killer who only needed to be located. …

Role Models
Role Models is the latest comedy starring Paul Rudd, who actually co wrote and produced the film. The movie is advertised as a comedy similar to 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, which also stars Paul Rudd, but it isn’t as funny as those other movies.

Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …

Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors

Great Expectations movie
When I saw the movie “Great Expectations” on the cable guide a couple years ago, I was more expecting a film based on the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations” and not a loosely based modern day spinoff from it. In fact, since I had not seen it from the …
Duplex film starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore
I caught the tail end of this movie once on Comedy Central. I came in to see the main character in what I could’ve sworn was a Bennigan’s, but really turns out to be a generic bar, working to finish a novel that was due within the day. …

My Bloody Valentine movie
My Bloody Valentine has risen to the level of cult status not so much by what’s on screen, but by what is not on screen.

Bad and Beautiful (1952)
“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …
Monster-In-Law movie

Coyboy Bebop episode 1
Cowboy Bebop is a legend that spawns new legends from within itself. The first episode is no exception but is a delight to read. For those not familiar with the series, Cowboy Bebop puts the title of the music style right on the cover, in this case, Asteroid Blues. …

An interesting premise and layout. Guy breaks his leg and is laid up in his apartment with nothing better to do than take a peek into the lives of all his neighbors across the courtyard. It is a sordid group: musicians rehearsing, a lonely lady looking for love, another …
Whiplash (drama movie)
I had Whiplash on my list of movies to watch from earlier on this year, but never actually took the time out to give it a chance. Recently though when it was airing on one of my cable television channels I decided to give it a try. I liked it. …
