Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …
Wrath of the Titans (2012 movie)
I just recently saw the movie Wrath of the Titans. It is the sequel to the previous Greek mythology-based movie about Perseus which was entitled Clash of the Titans. This movie still has the original cast, like Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, …
Air Force One the Movie
This is one of my all-time favorite movies which I watch every time I get the chance. AXN featured it this afternoon and even though I know this movie by heart, I could not resist watching it again. This is one of Harrison Ford’s unforgettable movies like Indiana Jones …
Movie: “Bruce Almighty” (2003)
The always brilliant Jim Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, a TV reporter who always gets stuck with “silly” stories. He wants to report real news and even dreams of being an anchor. His girlfriend Grace (Jennifer Aniston) tries to encourage him, but he’s frustrated with his life. Meanwhile, his snide …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
Coco Avant Chanel: A Film by Anne Fontaine (2009)
I waited a long time to grab a copy of this film. At last, I was able to watch it. I don’t think this movie falls into the fashion film category. Coco Avant Chanel is a biographical account of Grabrielle alias Coco Chanel’s life. It’s …
Freaky Friday movie
I was used to watching Lindsay Lohan movies even when she was still young. I bought a copy of this movie because I wanted to see if it was a good one or not since the tandem of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis is a little fresh. I …
Howl’s Moving Castle (Movie 2004)
Howl’s Moving Castle is one of the most romantic, magical and amusing movies that Studio Ghibli has produced. I was in my grade school years when I first watched Howl’s Moving Castle and I never really understood what the whole story was about. Now, several years later (I’m already …
Little Women: The Movie with Winona Ryder
Little Women, the Columbia picture with Winona Ryder, is a touching story women of all ages will treasure. Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, the movie tells the story of four daughters, named Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, during the 1800s. The moral reflections Alcott included in …
Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …
Sex Tape (comedy movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Sex Tape for the very first time, I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to be very good. Nevertheless, I was still interested in the premise surrounding the film, which was the idea of a married couple accidentally releasing a Sex …
Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
The Harvey Girls movie
For a long time before actually watching The Harvey Girls, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but then once I finally sat down and told myself to watch, I got it! The Harvey Girls tells of a group of women who moved west to, well, be glorified …

This movie is set in southeast Asia where Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller), a former big budget American movie star, is filming his latest movie, a film based on a book written by a POW survivor of …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …

Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Desperate Hours Remake (1990)
I’m not a big fan of remakes of movies. I call them “removies”. I find that removies are rarely as good as the original movie. In part this is because the movies that are usually redone are movies that were excellent movies to begin with. Nobody tries to …
Only God Forgives, movie (2013)
Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …
Robin Hood
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Robin Hood. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood, but what would happen if it was taken from a fox’s perspective? That’s what the whole Disney version does. Robin Hood is a fox and his friend, Big John, is a huge bear. The …
Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …

Catfish is a documentary-style movie of true events focusing around Yaniv Schulman, a photographer from New York. His brother Ariel Schulman and friend Henry Joost are both film makers who decide to document Yaniv’s online relationship with an eight year old artist called Abby and her family, who live …
Pirates of the Carribean : At worlds end
I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.
The movie opens with Elizabeth Swann ( Kierra Knightly) and Will Turner ( Orlando Bloom) must rescue Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones Locker.
This is successful when they go …
The Glass Menagerie movie
WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …
Beowulf Film
Robert Zemeckis, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone. A pantheon of names builds this incredibly well recreated story of Beowulf based on the Norse legend of the same name. The movie grabbed me from the first moment at the sight of the decrepit and tired Hrothgar (Anthony …
Into the Wild Green Yonder
Into the Wild Green Yonder is the fourth Futurama movie and represents Futurama’s take on ecological conservation. The movie revolves around Leo Wong wanting to build the universe’s largest miniature golf course, destroying countless planets and making several species extinct in the process. In typical Futurama fashion the jokes …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
Inglourious Basterds: Movie
Inglourious Basterds is without a doubt my favourite movie of 2009.
It’s fascinating, thrilling, unique and even has moments of comedy in it all at the same time.
The plot is an interesting one; I like how they took a different approach to things rather than the typical World War 2 …

X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …
“Devil” Feature Film
This movie did what I love for suspense and horror films to do, it kept me guessing. I watch a lot of horror and while i was able to guess who the killer was based on how these movies work out it did make me second guess myself, …

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
I would have to say the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was a really good movie. When I first seen the movie I almost cried at how moving it was. It was like a real life situation and the struggles that normal people go through in life. The movie …
The Haunted Mansion (2003)
This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …
Christmas in Connecticut Movie
Christmas in Connecticut is an old black and white movie that is so good and so funny. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan. The movie is about Elizabeth Lane, the country’s most loved food writer and house wife. She writes an article in a magazine about foods she …
The Hunger Games movie
Hello people and let’s talk about “The Hunger Games.” . Now, before I start giving my opinion on this movie and any other following movies, you should know that I do not read books, not one bit; I just don’t find them entertaining enough. Moving on, the movie wasn’t …

Bad News Bears (2005 movie)
Remake of a classic…this movie lives up to the reputation that The Bad News Bears have been known for. It does not disappoint the original stories that it’s being based on. But it’s time for a reality check…this movie was never a good one to start off with. It …
Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …
The Matador, movie

Borat film
This movie was overall alright. I enjoyed watching some parts of the movie. Some parts not so much. In some parts it was boring or wasn’t really funny. You could also tell that it was a low budget film. There were a couple of parts that were funny. It’s …
The Accidental Spy (movie)
This is another Jackie Chan movie that I had watched some time recently, and possibly might have seen one time before. Even though I had heard about it, I had never really paid it much attention until very recently. It is one of his late movies too that was …
27 Dresses movie
There hasn’t been a lot of feel good movies that you can watch over and over again lately. When I saw 27 Dresses I was so excited because I finally found a newer movie that I could watch over and over if I so chose. The story line is …
