Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …
Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Friends With Money Movie
I enjoyed this movie a lot. The concept is unique–what happens when one person in a group of friends is in a drastically different socioeconomic status than the rest of them? The characters were both believable and interesting at the same time. I liked how Jennifer …

Quarantine movie
My wife and I have been collecting dvds for years. We love to watch just about anything from horror to science fiction to action films. The last movie we have seen is Quarantine. A movie directed by John Erick Dowdle. I’m not a film critic, I’m not a movie …
Lemonade Mouth (2011 Disney Film)
Disney channel films are known for their motivational qualities and child like innocence so that the target audience of young teens and children will be able to enjoy them. Usually there are morals that are hidden to try and get the youth of today to not worry about clicks …
Maybe Logic Documentary
Maybe Logic is a documentary on the life and thought of Robert Anton Wilson. Wilson is best known for his “Illuminatus Trilogy” written with Robert Shea (The Illuminatus Trilogy was, prior to watching this documentary, my only contact with the work of the man).
The documentary is really quite …
Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …
Sansho the Bailiff movie
Kenji Mizoguchi is, together with Kurosawa, Kobayashi and a few others, one of the most talked about japanese filmmakers from the last century. Here he tells the life story of Bailiff Sansho, who lives a very tough and poor life in Japan several hundred years ago. With a poetic …
Max and Mary (2009 movie)
Today, I watched one of the most wonderful animated films I have ever seen. It was a clay animated Australian film called “Max and Mary”. However, let me first begin my review by saying that it is absolutely not for children, since it contains quite a bit of mature …
Film “Extraordinary Measures” (2010)
Extraordinary measures is different from other movies you typically see because it is a true story and was based on a non fiction book about how a father raised money for research to find a cure for his sons. When watching this film I had wondered if it …
The Insatiable
I actually didn’t pick out the movie “The Insatiable.” My daughter did. She didn’t watch it or anything. She was at the movie store with me and my wife told her to pick out a movie for us and it happened to be one on a shelf she could …
Full Moon in Paris movie
Eric Rohmer was one of the french new wave filmmakers back in the sixties, actually one of the most important ones, and he also kept making quality films long afterwards, even if I think his latest films haven’t been very interesting. Full Moon in Paris is about a woman …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …
Lord of the G Strings Femaleship of the String, DVD Softcore Movie
Seduction Cinema made a ton of softcore movies. Maybe they made too many of them. One of the production company’s most popular films is Lord of the G-Strings, a softcore take on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. All of Seduction Cinema’s top players were in this movie in …
Agatha Christie’s Murder at the Gallop movie
I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …
Kwaidan movie
Kwaidan is an episode film following four different horror stories. The director is Masaki Kobayashi, and here he gets to prove what he could do with color film. This might well be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I have ever experienced. Not only is the depth and …

School for Scoundrels is about a man named Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton) who runs a school where luckless men are taught how to become an …
Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …
Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …

The movie had captivated my interest from the very beginning especially with so much buildup about a room, that I was ‘dying’ with curiosity just to have a …
I am sam movie
I know that reviewers were critical of this movie but after watching it I do not agree with them. I truly loved this movie. To me it is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time I just couldn’t help but love it. The characters played their roles so …
The Butterfly Effect
I didn’t watch the Butterfly Effect when it first came out. It looked somewhat interesting, however the fact that it starred Kelso from That 70’s Show sort of turned me off. I mean, it is Kelso we are talking about, who wants to watch him in a …

Music and Lyrics (2007)
There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …
Film Sleepy Hollow
God bless him, Tim Burton has taken Irving Washington’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow and turned it into a first class horror movie and a beautiful romance too. I’ve always disliked the original tale because, despite his flaws, you care about Ichabod Crane and you want him to get the …
Happy feet movie
The movie is so awesome! It maybe cartoons but made with very decent graphics! I love the flow of the story; it’s about an outcast penguin in Antartica..Wait who wants to be an outcast anyways? But it happens everywhere. In this movie, they are flock of penguins and one …

I actually kind of like the show …
I know who killed me movie
I know who killed me (2007) directed by Chris Silverton stars Lyndsay Lohan and Julia Ormond. This movie is one that is labeled under suspense and thriller and is an ‘R’ rated movie.
Now to begin with Lohan did a wonderful job portraying herself as two different people. …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
Carnage (1984) movie

Spread the Movie
This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …
An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …

Movie The Postman
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan and I’m just as likely to leave one of his movies on the shelf of our local video store rather than go out of my way to watch it.
But, as far as his movies go, his film The Postman is actually better …
Cloud Atlas movie
To be completely honest before I had watched this movie the trailer was so disappointing that I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I just happened to want to watch a movie and came across it. However this was one of those movies that just really got to me. …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
