Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …

The departed movie
During the weekend, I went to watch “The departed” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson. About ten minutes into the movie, I realized that I have watched a Chinese version of this movie. The difference is “The departed” combines all three sequels of the Chinese version. …
Transcendence (science fiction movie)
When the trailer for the movie “Transcendence” was released I have to admit that I wasn’t very interested in watching it. What made it even worse was that I had no interest in seeing the movie even later, since I was seeing too many bad reviews on it, and it …

Back to the Future trilogy
I bought a complete DVD of this 3 part film by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis (with the help of other producers) with it’s first installment shown in 1985. I never regret buying this stuff because of the entertainment that I get everytime I watch this, time and …
The Shawshank Redemption
Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process. Such an intimidating task requires an tremendously capable artist with an indisputable managerial …
Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword
I got home from work last night and my daughter had just started watching the movie Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword. Since I had not seen that movie yet, I figured I would take the time to watch it with her (while feeding our other daughter).
It was an …
Carolina Moon (2007 Film)

Takers Movie (2010)
I found this movie interesting at first because it featured a nice cast including Matt Dillon, Jay Hernandez, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown, T.I., and Zoe Saldana. The movie is all about a group of professional robbers trying a one-time, big-time heist but before they do their largest …

Weird Science
The last time I watched the movie Weird Science, I was 12 years old and, while I understood some of what was going on, I�ll admit most of the stuff was a bit confusing.
So, when I found it on one of my premium movie channels the other day, I …
Duma movie
Few movies that are noncartoon can entertain my two three years old. However, last night HBO was playing their new hit, Duma. From what I have come to understand, this is one of Walt Disney’s new classic movies about the life of a leopard and his relationship …
Movie Ever After
At first, i was hesitant to watch this kind of movie. I was thinking that it was just an ordinary cinderella story that i had known since i was a kid. Until one day, my siblings are watching “Ever After” and i have no choice but to …
300 Movie
Intense action and extreme fighting scenarios of this movie had me repeatedly saying my favorite exclamation phrases. The movie 300 DID bring the Spartans to their greatest glory! Knowing that this had happened in real life thousands of years ago (based on what I have read) added my fascination …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)
I had always liked Nicolas Cage, in fact, he has always been my #1 favorite actor of all times and he still is right now, but when I saw the trailer for this movie I had let out a scoff and a giggle, I never thought he would go …
Anna and the King
I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …
Rosemary’s Baby movie
Over the past few years, I have been getting more and more into the horror movie genre. When I was younger, I stayed away from it. I didn’t like to get scared. As I’ve gotten older, however, I have realized that horror movies, when they are well done, can …
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994. This movie is based on a novel by Charles Dickens and it does it justice. There are two Martin Chuzzlewits in this story, the grandfather and the grandson. First we meet the grandfather (Paul Scofield), a wealthy old man haunted by a crowd of relatives trying …
The Death of Richie movie
Wow. I almost hated to watch this movie again because it’s a heartbreaker, and more than that, it’s a true story. That’s why it rips through me. I remember watching this in 1977. I remember reading about it. I believe it was Parade that did a …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …
Nim’s Island, adventure-fantasy film
Walden Media hasn’t really changed movies with some of their movie adaptations of their famous novels. There seems to be more buzz around the actual title than the movie itself, which doesn’t sit well for movie goes. Is Nim’s Island going to suffer the same way just all the …
127 Hours Movie (2010)
If you love movies inspired by true events and documentaries and if you love action and is the outdoorsy type, you’ll surely love this movie. It’s based on real facts and it’s even much talked-about in the press conferences and interviews before it was actually showed because of it’s …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
Movie: “Enchanted” (2007)
“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.

The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …

The Ghost and the Darkness movie
My wife and I watched a movie yesterday that we are both huge fans of “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
When this movie first came out, I didn’t even know what it was. I figured it was a movie about a ghost. When I watched it the first time, however, …
Loch Ness (1996)
Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
However, as far as movies are concerned, Loch Ness falls well short of being entertaining.
Ted Danson plays a scientist who is highered to prove once and for all …
Fast and Furious 4 (2009)
One of the most disappointing movies of the year, Fast and Furious 4 was a flat, uninteresting film. I was dismayed that even the actors came out flat here. It came off like a bad “made for TV” low budget movie. There are no twists or events …

Cruella strikes again! Ably played by Glenn Close, Cruella de Vil is released from rehab where she was sent at the end of the original 101 Dalmatians movie which preceded this one. She is supposedly completely cured of her fur-fettish - especially the one involving spots! To show how …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …
Death Sentence (2007) movie

The Bumblebee action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is really cool. It retails for anywhere from $10.00 to $12.00 and can be found at many retailers, including Walmart, Kmart, and ToysRUs. Bumblebee is about 6 inches tall in robot mode and is a …
Deja Vu
The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …
Enemy Mine (1985)
I love this movie not only because the actors are great but also the theme is fascinating. Aliens.
This movie though features only one type of fictional aliens, the reptilian like creatures that somehow resembles humans but only wearing a thick scaly skin and a tail of a dinosaur …
The Runaway Bride,1999 movie
“The Runaway Bride” is a romantic comedy, light, witty, and well-made, although perhaps with a bit unrealistic premise. Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) is a small town woman who has become a local celebrity of sorts for leaving several fiances at the altar and running away - just like that, …
