Haunted Echoes movie 2008
I rented Haunted Echoes because I love a good ghost story, and I noticed that Sean Young starred in it, a favorite actress from Blade Runner in the early 80’s that I don’t think I have seen too often in anything since. She is still lovely. This film was …
My Best Friend’s Wedding - Movie
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It is a romantic comedy about a free spirited woman who realizes that she is in love with her best friend on the day he tells her he is about to marry another woman. This is a must see chick …
House at the End of the Street (thriller movie)
A movie that I surprisingly didn’t mind was “House at the End of the Street”. It was one of those movies that was released slightly after she had become the next big thing in Hollywood. However, I was almost sure that it was going to be very unsuccessful due to …
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I first watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” when I was about seven years old and I’ve been hooked since. I just watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” this evening for about the 50th time.
This movie is a classic for people of all ages. In …
The Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
While the children Sleep Movie
I watched this movie on lifetime the other night. Overall it was pretty good but there were a couple of parts that I wish they would have done differently. For instance, there was one part that showed a girl trying to suffocate another girl but they never reveal if …
The Secret of the Grain Movie
It’s the French Film fest in Manila and entrance to all the French movies are free! Who wouldn’t take advantage of that?! I know I would and am planning to do so until the festival moves on to Cebu.
The first movie I watched was entitled The Secret of the …
Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
The Hangover II Movie (2011)
I just saw the movie the Hangover 2. It is the sequel to the first movie, The Hangover, which stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. Essentially this movie is about a Bachelor’s party in Thailand gone wrong. As with the last Hangover movie, this time, the …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …
Jurassic World (2015) movie
It’s been fourteen years since “Jurassic Park 3″ made its debut in theaters, and at the time of its release, interest in the franchise seemed to be waning. Perhaps by then, the “wow” factor had been starting to wear off as the 1993 hit “Jurassic Park” stunned movie critics and …
Boogie Nights the movie
This has to be one of the worst movies in history and I am not a fan of boogie nights at all and never have been and never will be and this movie was just a disaster right from the beginning all the way to the end. Seriously mark …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA DVD
Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA DVD is a collection of shorts of Fullmetal Alchemist characters based off events during and after the first anime series and has nothing to do with the new Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series.
This DVD is something that any Fullmetal Alchemist fan should have in …
Lars and the Real Girl
I went on the Internet the other day seeking a list of the top 25 movies from the year 2007, and on that list was a movie that caught my eye entitled Lars and the Real Girl. I remembered vaguely seeing a preview for this movie, but really went …
Strawberry Shortcake: Big Country Fun
My daughter spends a great deal of time watching some of the newer episodes of Strawberry Shortcake. So, as a bit of a change, I got her one of the older episodes of the show.
While the only noticeable difference in Big Country Fun compared to other Strawberry Shortcake movies …
Jet Li`s New Movie — Unleashed
Jet Li
UNLEASHED
(Danny The Dog)
This film shows that Jet Li can actually act, he has been in a few movies in the past which have just been all action, but `Unleashed` has a very heartfelt storyline with great actors supporting Jet Li such as Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins …
Order of the Pheonix
I am reviewing the Harry Potter movie, Order of the Pheonix. Order of the Pheonix is the fifth movie in the series, and stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. Fifth year is scarier than ever. Harry hasn’t heard from Dumbledore all summer, nor heard a thing from Ron …
Michael Jackson, This is It movie
I said I was not going to do it but I did it. I broke down and saw the movie This is It. I am certain most die -hard Michael Jackson fans have already seen this “movie” in the theater or on DVD but I was not …

Movie: A Knight’s Tale
A Knight’s Tale (2001)a 14th century action/comedy/romance (Rated PG-13 for action violence, some nudity and brief sex-related dialogue)

The Butterfly Effect (2004)
One of the few adequate performances by Ashton Kutcher (who normally works a tired cliché part). Here he does an acceptable job (but not a great one) of portraying the main character who is able to move back in time and change the future. The movie is …
Hackers movie
“Hackers” was one of my favorite movies which the famous actress Angelina Jolie starred in. I first watched it one Saturday evening a couple years ago on the SciFi cable channel and enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, right now I’m thinking of watching it again.
I would not call …
Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …
The Movie, Back to the Future
So take me away, I don’t mind but you’d better promise me, I’ll be back in time! That is one of the best songs I have ever heard and it goes great with the best movie in the world, “Back to the Future.” I absolutely adore this awesome movie. …

Mean Girls (2004 Film)
“Mean Girls” the movie that hit big screens in 2004, was and still is a movie that is referred to by not only teenagers and young adults, but by adults as well. In my high school math class, two years after this movie came out, the math teacher called …
House of Usher movie 2008
I rented this movie as a fan of the horror genre and also an interest in Edgar Allen Poe. It turned out that I did not read the description as carefully as perhaps I should have, but what took place was entertaining none the less. This movie …
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is the definition of “Chick Flick.” …
The Benchwarmers
What do you get when there are combination acting by Jon Heder, Rob Schneider and David Spade? You get total hilarious and out of this world type of laughs.
Perhaps there are people thinking that this is a dumb movie but I really love this when it was …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …
Zorro,movie
Action-packed and fast-paced. If that’s what you are looking for, you wouldn’t be disapppointed. The movies moves at a breathless pace through a rather convoluted plot about some ancient secret society wanting to destroy the fledging United States of America. The plot hinges on transporting some explosives to the …
Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …
What About Bob?
Another excellent Bill Murray role. Bob has a great deal of neurotic emotions. He comes to Dr. Leo Marvin, played by Richard Dreyfuss, for help. Dr. Marvin is a well-known psychiatrist who has just written a soon-to-be bestselling book called �Baby Steps�, which teaches people to take situations one …

Movie Into the Wild
Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …

Old School the movie
I sat down with my mother, we were having a girls movie night. This girls night movie theme was comedy. Will Ferrel is always at the top of my list for comedy movies. He did not let me down on this one at all. I laughed during almost the …
Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …
Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)
Twilight Zone: The Movie, is a made of the big screen movie off the famous television series. Many people used to tune in to take in and see what new is in store for us whenever the Twilight Zone airs. Each episode takes you on a dark ride deep …
Toy Story 3
For those of you that grew up with the magic of Pixar, you most definitely know of the many adventures of toy legends, Woody the cowboy and Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger and all their companions. I speak of the first ever Pixar computer generated animation film, Toy Story.
Now …
Kidulthood (R, 2006) movie
It is always weird to see street kids from England. Their little accents make them sound so sweet, yet they are using language that is just as foul as American people. This movie focuses on a group of teenagers going to a school. One of the …
Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Box
My boyfriend loves watching IMAX movies so much, I couldn’t understand why. And so, I have watched Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Box with him before.
I admit that watching 3D movies are fun, and I have lots of nice and funny experiences while watching. The joy does …
