Idiocracy (R, 2006) movie
I had the opportunity to see this film and was at first turned off by its spoofiness. But then, by the time the main character advanced to the year 2505, I realized exactly what director Mike Judge was trying to say about our society. This politically …
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is what we have all been waiting for; the second of two films in a vastly growing franchise that we have all grown to love Or not.

Mr Brooks DVD

The Movie 30 Days of Night
My sister is one of those people that adores scary vampire movies. I cannot necessarily say that I am in agreement with her, but every once in awhile I will go and see movies like this with her. This movie was one that she desperately wanted to see …
The Happening - Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The happening is one of the worst rated movies of M. Night Shyamalan however I actually enjoyed it though I cannot call it a favorite. The movie is basically about plants giving off a chemical that causes people to commit suicide.

Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.
I grew up listening to the happy endings of Cinderella and was even watching its cartoon series on the television. When I saw this movie I wonder …
The Book Thief (2014 war movie)
I like watching movies and documentaries about people’s lives in World War II because it was a dark period of time in human history and there are many interesting stories to be told. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “The Book Thief”, I definitely wanted to see …
Arrival (2016 Sci-fi Drama Film)
The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …
Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective
I really enjoyed Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective. This was a really cool movie. And sine I love Mice to much, it was no wonder I was going to like this movie so much. The movie is kind of like Sherlock Homles but in cartoon forum. And Instead of humans …

When in Rome (movie) 2010
I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …
Hot Shots Part Deux
Hot Shots Part Deux
This show was made back in the 1990’s when these “stupid” comedies making fun of other shows were very popular. Yet today it still hold very funny. This is the second of the Hot Shots series. Going after the first this one doesn’t lose any charm …

Jane Eyre,1996 Movie
Franco Zeffireli’s 1996 version of Jane Eyre would have been very good had he cast a different actor for Mr. Rochester. Don’t get me wrong, William Hurt who plays Rochester in this movie is a good actor, and he did a good job - but he just doesn’t *look* …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …

American Pie: Book of Love Movie
I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …
Fast and the Furious
In America, we’ve been car crazed for along time. Nascar racing and any souped up automobile that will blow across the road like the wind, we love it. There have been hundreds of movies based around cars, but none took the box office by storm like the 2001 mega …

Jurassic Park tells the story of millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) who asks two dinosaur experts (Laura Dern and Sam Neill) to act as consultants on his …
White Noise movie
This movie stars Micheal Keaton, and I’m pretty sure that it’s classified as a horror flick, perhaps more accurately “thriller”.
The film focuses around EVP (electronic voice phenomenon). Basically, it’s where one records “white noise” from a television set and/or radio, perhaps asking questions they hope to be answered. …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …

High Road to China movie
A pilot is convinced by a young girl to go and search for her disappeared father in Asia. This is one of those films I loved in my childhood and decided to rewatch as an adult, and I have to say this is probably the one that made my …
3 Idiots (2009 Bollywood Film)
I am not really a fan of Bollywood/Indian films when I was young, but overtime, I was able to enjoy their weird incorporated singing and dancing which was truly their signature.
I am also glad that I wasn’t able to watch 3 Idiots long before I took up an engineering course …
Kissin’ Cousins movie
I adore Elvis Presley and always have, but at the same time, I’ve felt sorry for him. That probably sounds crazy, but he was too loyal for his own good. It was his loyalty to the infamous Colonel Parker, his so-called manager, that resulted in Elvis starring …

Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …
DNAngel Episode 6 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 6 has Daisuke trying to figure out what to get his mother for her birthday and learns about how she met his father Kosuke.
This was a very sweet episode and not a lot of anime have episodes that are like this, but even though the plot may …
I Love You, Man movie
I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. It looked cheesy, stooping for cheap laughs with fart and masturbation jokes. However, I was surprised to find it rather amusing; definitely not in my top fifty, but certainly decent and watchable.
The fart joke surprised me. I hate humor based on …
The Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
“Playing House” (2006 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
This Lifetime Movie Network film which came out in 2006 starring Colin Ferguson and Joanne Kelly called “Playing House”, was sweet, but not exactly entertaining. The film was very predictable and common, something that I felt was seen in many movies before it but the stories were told in …

The movie A Shark’s Tale
A Shark’s Tale is one of those movies that looks like it might be okay, but the thought of paying movie theater prices to see it scares the crap out of you. I had this problem on the one hand it had a really great cast. Even Robert De …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Another Cinderella story with a cultural relevance is Memoirs of a Geisha, a movie adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best selling novel. If there is anyone who is into cultural immersion and intense drama, then I recommend this movie.
The movie follows the story of Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), a young girl …
Movie Mirrors
This movie was a movie that could have been awesome. It had an excellent base story line but it just lacked … SOMETHING. I don’t know what exactly it was, but it lacked. I love the big old run down mall that they had to protect every night, I …
P2 (R, 2007) movie
I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …

In my opinion this move was a combination of other movies that I had seen in the past. But it was really good. …
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What you need to do while watching this movie is thank you lucky stars that you don’t know anyone like these people for if you do, you would be just as messed up in the head as they are. Then again, if you are just like these people in …
