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.
Paul Rudd and …
The Valet (2007)
As the introduction, I watched this movie because I saw Gad Elmaleh in the cast lists and I love to see his silly face again since “Priceless”, his previous movie with the beautiful Audrey Tautou. And the result is : I still see the same character Gad plays in …
Almost Famous movie
The self-biographical film by Cameron Crowe in which a young music journalist gets to travel around america with a rock band and experience the same thing they do. Almost Famous is a film about growing up, being an individual, but also a very touching portrait of the people associated …
Night of the Comet
On the surface, the movie Night of the Comet should be nothing more than a B rated horror flick with no real redeeming qualities. Let’s face facts, having the Earth overrun by zombies isn’t exactly a unique concept.
But, after watching the movie for the first time this past weekend, …
Up Close & Personal movie
From 1996, Up Close & Personal was intended to be the story of Jessica Savitch, well known anchor woman who had a difficult and often tragic life. However, the film went through numerous modifications and changes. After all the rewrites, all that remains of Jessica’s story are …
Hannah Free Movie 2009
I try to keep up with the latest releases of gay and lesbian films so I ordered a movie called Hannah Free from Netflix last week. It stars Sharon Gless as an elderly butch lesbian who is in the same nursing home as her long time lover, who …
Movie Click
Usually I love movies that Adam Sandler are in. He is usually really funny and always makes me laugh. I only remember laughing in one part in this movie where the kid gets hit in the face with the ball. Another thing I didn’t like about it is that …
Eight Mile movie
Before watching this movie I really did not have too much background on rap nor did it really strike me as something that is hard to do-just a bunch of aimless words being spoken with a beat. Featuring Eminem, this movie is about his story and how he made …
Pet Sematary
This is one scary movie, and no wonder: it’s based on a Stephen King book. Don’t watch it unless you’re a fan of horror films. Also, don’t watch it if you are an animal lover.
A family moves into a house at a remote place in Maine, the husband, the …

The Death And Life Of Bobby Z
I love Paul Walker very much. And in this movie, The Death And Life Of Bobby Z that he acted which I’ve watched like 2 times, the storyline ain’t that bad.
At first, I was quite skeptical into thinking that it is a rather cheesy gangster movie but …
Master of Disguise movie
I had an opportunity to watch the film Master of Disguise the other night. I know I have seen it before but I couldn’t remember much about it. After watching it again, I can understand why.
Dana Carvey is somewhat funny as a waiter who finds out he comes from …
Meet Bill (R, 2007)
“Meet Bill” is the kind of movie you watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, and you want to see a “bright” slightly sarcastic film. Bill is played by Aaron Eckhart. He wants to earn his father in-law’s respect, but can’t seem to do so. …
Herbie Fully Loaded -DVD Release 2005
Oh joy -Herbie rides again (if you will pardon the pun). When I spotted Herbie Fully Loaded in a shop I simply had to have it. Always having loved watching the original movies when they came onto the television it seemed too good to be true that the little …

Videodrome
Videodrome with James Woods, Deborah Harry, and Sonja Smits
Since I feel that James Woods is the finest actor around, I just had to watch this movie even though the title was nebulous. Well, I am happy to say that Videodrome is the best science fiction …
Movie : Teen Wolf (1985)
Going through a bit of a retro phase lately has made me notice just how much the overall movie industry hs changed over the years. And after re-watching the Michael J. Fox movie TEEN WOLF I hate to quote such a common saying but ‘they just don’t make them …
War thriller
“War” is an action thriller where you see Jason Statham and Jack Lee act side by side. It is very interesting to see these two action actors involved in the same project. Both Statham and Lee admitted that they accepted their respective roles because they had a chance of …
Notting Hill
I’m really a big fan of romantic drama. And one of my lifetime favorites is Notting Hill. I don’t know why. I just found that simple beautiful. The storyline is just perfect. The on-off of the two main characters is just brilliant. Drama used to have the same …
A Real Young Girl (NR, 2001) movie
I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …
The Shawshank Redemption
I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much out of the movie “The Shawshank Redemption”. At the time I wasn’t aware that this movie was nominated for 7 Oscars. I felt that after watching endless episodes of the TV series “Prison Break”, I doubted that there was any prison …
Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen Movie
I was really excited about this movie as the first movie was really good. I was also expecting more added characters here and this movie was more exciting because of them. The plot is about Sam Witwicky deciding to leave for college to have a normal life and to …

Bam! This story starts as a tragedy quickly becomes a classic science fiction thriller with an epic ending. In the 1800’s Professor Simon Newcomb was living a perfect life until his wife was shot by a mugger. Then he threw himself into his work on fourth dimension geometry and …
Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island
I was looking for movies my oldest daughter could watch on our Netflix player and came across an older one “Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island.”
This film is essentially a spoof of the old Fantasy Island show that used to be on TV (which my daughter is too young to …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …
Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …

Annabelle, horror movie (2014)
I was one of the many The Conjuring fans who had bought their Annabelle tickets a week before the show times. With a group of friends rushing to the theater where this supposedly horror-movie-of-the-year would be playing I was nothing less than thrilled. Needless to say the emotions …
The Omnimax Theater
Although I feel you might be able to add “four dimensional” components such as motion and interaction with live objects simultaneous with the viewing of the film, the Omnimax provides what I consider the bets visual and audio experience possible.
I’ll get the sound out of the way because it …
Interview with a Vampire
When the movie Interview with a Vampire came out, I thought it was a fantastic film. And, I still do think it is better than some of the so-called vampire movies that are out today (like Twilight). But, I have to tell you, I watched it again last night …
Little Mermaid 2
One of my favorite cartoon movies from Disney is The Little Mermaid and when I heard that it has a part 2, I’m one of those who lined up in theaters just to watch it.
Little Mermaid 2 is another adventurous tale of our favorite mermaid, Ariel, but this …
Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …

Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
Funny it is, ’cause the movie “Fog” was really trying hard to be classically sophisticated sci-fi. Well, no it isn’t. Though, the graphics was seemed great and modern …

Life As We Know It Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because if features one of my favorite actresses Katherine Heigl, it also features Josh Duhamel and I thought it would be a funny movie but I actually found it was really serious for actors like them to be playing this part. The movie is about …
Titanic movie 1997
Titanic movie is one of the best lovestory that I have ever seen. Titanic became a huge hit when it was shown is the huge screen. Especially in this movie famous actors stars. This movie stars Leonardo di caprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose. Jack and Rose …
Delightfully Dangerous movie
Delightfully Dangerous from 1945 starred a teenaged Jane Powell as Sherry Williams. This is actually the first time I’ve seen her as a teenager and a brunette to boot. I enjoyed her performance, though. She was gay and pretty and gullible, as many girls of the …
Jane Eyre Movie 1970
This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …
‘Star Trek Beyond’ 2016 movie
In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …
Edward ScissorHands
Edward ScissorHands is one of my all time favorite movies. The music and scenery is must majestic. I think this is one of Johnny Depp’s best roles. He plays the part of Edward. Edward was created by his father who was an old inventor. But he never got to …
Quantum of Solace movie
Quantum of Solace is the 22 Bond movie series and this time it’s played by Daniel Graig. The movie is full of action, fights, drama, thrill, and suspense. You will love the action part though. The Daniel here is not like the previous James Bond. He’s different and somewhat …
Final Destination 3-D movie
Final Destination 3 in super 3-D is exactly what you would expect from such a teen horror outing. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting wooden, and the entire premise implausible, yet it still delivers the goods as far as presenting an entertaining horror excursion. The audience that I viewed …
Farce Of The Penguins
Well here is another Penguin movie my daughter rented last night,but this one is an adult movie. “The Farce Of The Penguins” was mad funny. We laughed our butts off. Well of course Bob Saget was in it, as well as Christina Applegate, Lewis Black, Mo’nique, Tracy Morgan. The …
