A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Avengers: Age of Ultron (action adventure movie)

I Am Legend
Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …
Family Guy - Something Something Dark Side
Empire Strikes Back was my least favorite of all the original Star Wars films, so I didn’t know if I would like the Family Guy version of it. Since they stayed pretty true to the first movie, A New Hope, I …

Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …

The Punisher 1989 Version
I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …
The Shop on Main Street
The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …

I just saw Incredible Hulk II and I don’t know really what to say. no words can describe how I enjoyed watching this film which was superbly done. The special effects, the digital enhancements are all perfect! When I first saw the trailer and found out that Edward Norton …

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is from the makers of and Knocked up. It stars Jason Segel as Peter, Kristen Bell as Sarah Marshall, and Mila Kunis then abunch of Judd Apatow regular cast members. I’m not sure why Seth Rogan couldn’t do this movie, so they just decided …
Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …
Goodfellas
Goodfellas is a very funny yet violent movie. I think the humor in it was just great. This is a mobster movie, and Joe Pesci is of course in it. Joe Pesci was great and did a good job of acting in the movie. Overall the cast was really good …

The Hole movie

Masters of Horror : Pro Life (NR, 2007) movie
The Masters of Horror series is like a crap shoot. You never know what kind of mess (or jewel) you’re going to get. John Carpenter, the director behind this film did a fairly good job of creating suspense and horror. The film focuses on a 15 …
Movie: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008)
I had to see what all the hype was about. “Benjamin Button” was THE talked-about film of the year: critics raved about the film, and it was nominated for all kinds of awards.
