Venture Bros Volume One DVD
I don’t know how I went so long without hearing about the Venture Bros. Truthfully, it is one of the best cartoon shows I have ever seen. And I do mean ever. It certainly outshadows anything and everything else seen on Adult Swim (not …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …
The Bucket List
It is hard to make a comedy where your main premise centers around two men who are dying of cancer. Still, they tried with The Bucket List.
Not only did they try, but they kind of succeeded. Both leads, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, play characters …
The Bourne Supremacy
Very rarely do sequels surpass there predecessors. There are some exceptions, Terminator 2, 28 Weeks Later, etc. I thought very highly of The Bourne Identity and believe that Supremacy surpasses it on every level. I was very nervous when I heard they weren’t bringing back the …
My Bloody Valentine (2009) - movie
I admit that I entered in the theater with quite low expectations, being a fan of horror movies, I decided to give it a try for the following two reasons, first- it’s a horror movie, second- it is made in digital 3-D.
first of all, Hats off to the filmmakers for …
Forest of the Gods Movie
Hi everyone reading this review. It`s a review about the movie Forest Of The Gods. I know you maybe not even heard about this. And its probably because it`s Lithuanian movie. But i think it`s really worth to mention and to check it out if you havent seen it. …
The Lake House movie
The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …

Zathura movie
I know this movie is a rip off of Jumanji and was therefore given a bad rating, but in all honesty this was actually a pretty good movie. It is especially great for kids witht the exception that the younger brother calls his sibling a dick. This …

Crank (2006)
I saw this movie, and you have got to believe this I was in some kind of hallucination or translation while I was watching it. The movie really pulled me into it and I was almost like lost in it. It was as if you have entered some kind …
Robots Movie
This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …
Notes on a Scandal (2006)
This was an excellent drama starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, in roles that are quite different than anything else I have seen either of them in.
The two actresses play teachers at a British school. Barbara (Dench) is a closet lesbian, and Sheba (Blanchett) is having an affair with …
Vacation (2015 Comedy Adventure Movie)
If you’re like me and you loved many of the National Lampoon movies, you were probably very eager to watch the 2015 movie “Vacation”. The thing about the movie is that it was the fifth in the list of National Lampoon’s Vacation series and it is supposed to be a …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Dracula Untold (horror movie)
The last movie that I watched at the cinema was “Dracula Untold”, because at the time there was nothing else that interested me showing. I believed that I was taking quite a big risk seeing it too since there were so many bad reviews written about it on the internet, …
As Good as it Gets movie
I am reviewing the movie, As Good as it Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear. This movie focuses around Jack Nicholson’s character, Melvin, who is an obsessive compulsive, rude, inconsiderate human being with many other problems. His neighbor is Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, a …
Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

An American Werewolf in London movie
American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …
A Map of the World (R, 1999) movie
Every once in a while you have to go back about ten years or so and find those hidden cinematic gems that you might have missed. They are not always advertised no trailers. And in many cases, the films go directly to DVD for any number of …
Half Nelson A Movie
A few nights ago my husband and I settled in to watch Half Nelson. I had never seen it or heard of it before so I figured that it was probably not that good of a movie. However my husband really wanted to watch it so I decided to …
Sleepy Hollow
Remember this movie, Sleepy Hollow starring Johnny Depp and Cristina Ricci? Yes, the movie rocks so much that I love to keep on watching it. In fact, whenever my favorite horror movie fans buddies come over or I come over to any of their houses for a movie …
Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2010 movie
I had completely different expectations from the Diary of a wimpy kid in large part due to a trailer that promised more surprises and maybe even a different kind of comedy that would have to develop a more intelligent humor.
But unfortunately for me and for those who were expecting …
Movie: Elf
The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.
I have seen this Will Ferrell Movie at least a dozen times now and, like most Christmas classics, it is a movie I just cannot …
Mean Girls 2 Movie (2011)
I loved Mean Girls. I already knew Regina wouldn’t be here and this cast of the sequel would all be new but still, I’m a girl and I’d love to see how this 2nd Mean Girls movie would turn out. Turns out my expectations were right. This was nowhere …
Halloween (1978 movie)
I love horror movies, and the original “Halloween” from 1978 is the one that started it all for me. I was too young to see it when it was first shown in theaters, so I actually didn’t get the opportunity to watch it until I reached my twenties. And …

Alien movie (1979)
(Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt)
The original Alien is widely regarded as a science fiction classic. Although plenty of attention is paid to the production values and set design in terms of the spacecraft and aliens themselves, both of these elements don’t appear to be the focus. Instead, Alien …
Finding Neverland (2004)
“Finding Never Land” 2004 movie is the charming story of J.M. Barrie’s writing of “Peter Pan.” The movie is in English, was filmed in color, and lasts 106 minutes. When the movie begins Barrie (Johnny Depp) is a well-known playwright who has suffered a setback with his most recent …
The Last Shot (2004)
Let us talk about a movie that falls under the category of a complete ‘miss’. This movie stars some of the best actors in Hollywood like Alec Baldwin, Matthew Broderick, Tony Shaloub, Ray Liotta, Toni Collette and even Eric Roberts, but even though it had these people in the …
Turbo Jam
This is an awesome workout DVD. It is actually five workouts ‘ Learn and Burn, 20 Minute Workout, Turbo Sculpt, Ab Jam and Cardio Party. I really like the Learn and Burn, which help you easy into the program and give you a really good understanding of …
Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.
The town, despite its extremeness in following unwritten rules, exemplifies a lot of our societies. The protagonist, enviably shepherds …

Grown Ups Movie
Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …
Dallas Buyers Club, movie
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is living to its expectations. I’ve just finished watching the powerful story about a subject often considered delicate.
And who would have thought that Matthew McConaughey, the buffed blond playboy with southern accent, will be the man to make …
The Happening movie
Not very many movies can make me cover my eyes, but The Happening definitely did just that. This M. Night Shyamalan movie didn’t scare me per say, but it put me on the edge of my seat for the entire movie. Most of the …
The Final Destination movie
We decided to rent the fourth Final Destination movie The Final Destination on Saturday. I’m not sure why we thought it would be as good as the first two (or even the crappy third one), but it proved to be somewhat of a mistake.
The movie had a plot that …
The Movie It’s A Wonderful Life 1946
Christmas time has to be among my favorite times of the year. Not necessarily because of the presents but rather because the world seems to slow down and smell the roses a little more. Its a time of tradition, love, family and spirit.
It is with this in mind …
Repo Men Movie (2010)
In the future, even the most critical organs in our body will be made artificially, and because of the high price tags, they will also be subjected to credit. And when credit is due, people sometimes could not pay. And when they do not pay, what they bought will …
Watchmen (2009)
A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …
Taken 2, movie
I enjoyed “Taken” well enough. It wasn’t the most complex piece of cinema, but if you wanted to see Liam Neeson beat up bad guys, it delivered.
It seemed like one of those movies that didn’t really need a sequel. Not everything needs to be turned into a …
You, Me and Dupree movie
When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. You, me and Dupree didn’t let me down. I laughed so hard I nearly made puddles beneath my chair. Kate Hudson plays the disgruntled new wife so well you’d swear every …
