Ghost of the Abyss
What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …
Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003)
First off I’d like to say that this movie was wonderful! It’s a hilarious movie! Just the whole concept of the movie is hilarious, and David Spade was brilliant in it!
He goes in the movie so well. I would not be able to imagine anyone else playing the …
The Cry - La Llorona
I watched The Cry - La Llorona on DVD with my family the other night and the whole 80 minutes, we were hooked. We even had to pause the DVD movie and put it on hold to take some time to refresh ourselves and then went back to …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
What Universal has done with …
The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
Body of Lies
Watching Leonardo Dicaprio acting in Body of Lies, I could feel the tension brewing in his character and I watched this before when it was released in my country sometime last year.
There is something mysterious and foreboding whenever spy movies or movies that are filled with CIA Agents give me. …
Rambo, First Blood
They attempted a couple of sequels for the movie Rambo, First Blood, but they have never managed to copy what became a classic film and one I absolutely love.
The great thing about this movie, which features a Vietnam War Veteran who holds a town hostage after a run in …
Paranormal Activity 2 movie
Horror films scare me very much no matter how weak they are. So I’ll try to analyze as objectively Paranormal Activity 2 detaching myself from my “spectacular” feelings. Paranormal Activity 2 is a combination of the first prequel and sequel. It is a movie that scares the weak of …
Aguirre: Wrath of God movie
Aguirre: Wrath Of God is a 1971 Werner Herzog film about a group of conquistadors in search of the lost city of El Doro. They are led by Don Aguirre (Klause Kinski), a megalomaniac driven insane by his lust for power and fame. Along their voyage, they …
Transformers
Transformers. Once again the world of comic books strikes it big in the box office. Transformers has been popular since it’s debut early in July. For the most part I enjoyed the film. The special effects are to be commended. Shia LeBouf does a great job as the boy-next-door …
The Incredible Incredibles movie
My favorite Walt Disney produced movie to date, has to be The Incredibles. How anyone could not find sheer enjoyment and entertainment while watching this unique and colorful flick, I would not know. It is such a cool idea for a movie if you ask me! …
Strawberry Shortcake DVD
As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …
The Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
I love The Daughters of Joshua Cabe. It was inventive and fun and a huge pleasure to watch. It’s a lighthearted western that while predicable is highly entertaining.
Buddy Ebsen is Joshua Cabe, and he needs family fast to protect his land, which under new homesteading laws is …

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
Fantomas contre Scotland Yard
The renowned criminal Fantomas, who seem to have a unique talent for disguise kidnaps a journalist who apparently have upset him. The police detective Juve is inclined to catch Fantomas, but how is he going to know where to find him, as nobody knows for sure what he looks …
Flightplan
Flightplan is an suspenseful thriller that tries to keep the viewer guessing what will happen next during the entire movie. The movie begins a little slow to set up the plot, and some people may be turned off by its slow beginning. After the plot has been defined the …
High School Musical
High School Musical debuted on the Disney Channel in January of 2006 and became a nationwide phenomenon, sparking musicals in high schools across the country, a musical tour, and great careers for the actors involved in this show. I am in my twenties and I absolutely LOVE this movie. …
Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya movie

Ice Cube stars alongside Nia Long in this romantic comedy. To win the love of Nia, Ice has the task of taking Nia’s two children on a journey from one state to another. The mischief of the little monsters really throw Ice Cube for a loop as he has …
Megamind animated movie
It’s true that lately I have not seen any comedy or animated films, at least not as I would have liked.
Animation films offer yet unexplored possibilities, mixed genres, the revolution of the main characters, change scenery.
So even if we fundamentally look at about the same kinds of movies, some …
My little village movie
Czech comedy with a lot of seriousness to it from the 80s. The film was directed by a man called Jiri Menzel, and involves a number of different people in a small Czech village. It really has no real point to it, only everyday events are depicted, and that …
Make It Happen
I watched a movie with a friend, he was so excited about Make it Happen, a movie similar and is actually from the same creators of “Step Up”. Well the movie is really simple, I feel it does need a little more depth in it, I have totally wasted …
Storm of the Century by Stephen King
Have you guys ever watched Storm of the Century by Stephen King before? It is one of Stephen King’s movies and I watched this sometime back. Now, any story from Stephen King will always be laced with mystery and wonderment and sometimes the characters are being developed quite …
Click movie

Stepmom (1998)
The focus of this movie is about a recently divorced couple and the heart aching task they go through in order to keep their children happy in the face of the terrible period in their lives. This is not made easier by the fact that the husband Luke, played …
Hot Tub Time Machine
When I saw the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” advertising I ignored it, simply because I thought that it was going to be one of those college humour shows that is full of lots of sex and sex jokes that I would generally not be interested in. However, …
DIE HARD
DIE HARD is one of the greatest action movies of all time. I thought this movie was very funny and also very violent. The plot is simple but great. A bunch of terrorist have taken over a hotel and want to take all the money in the place. They also …
The Fourth Kind
I almost did not watch this movie. The beginning was so slow, I all most fell asleep. About the time I was going to take it out and try a different one, it got interesting. I am not a real believer of alien from other worlds visiting us or …

Vehicle 19, movie
The movie Vehicle 19 is a fairly bland, perceptibly low budget movie that offers the usual fast and furious car chases. This time however, most of the activity takes place within a car.
Michael Woods, played by Paul Walker, is visiting Johannesburg, South Africa after being paroled in an …
Movie: “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”
This movie was supposed to be the new “funniest movie of the year” but due to bad writing, bad characters, and bad plot, it fell sadly short.
Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks play Zack and Miri, friends/roommates who have fallen on hard times. Randomly, they decide to film a pornographic …
Dead Silence (2007)
If you’re in the mood for some mindless scares, the recently released “Dead Silence” might be a good choice for you. I, however, find it too gory and frightening, and having no deeper message than “Boo!!” is, for me, a big turn-off.
The story is about a dead ventriloquist (performer …
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie
The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …
Scary Movie 4 (movie)
More likely than not, anyone who readily enjoyed the first three Scary Movie flicks to be released, will also have a great appreciation for their newest release to the world of dvd’s! Scary Movie 4, like its brother and sister movies, takes already made movies and adds a …
Movie AVP
I recently saw this movie for the first time and truthfully I didn’t like it very much at all. In case you don’t know, “AVP” stands for “Alien Versus Predator”. I did remember the alien from the Alien series of films, but I didn’t recall the Predator at all. …
Avatar 3D (2009, James Cameron)
I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …
The Green Lantern: First Flight animated movie
“The Green Lantern: First Flight” is an animated movie installment to the DC Comics story of a test pilot turned intergalactic superhero. When Abin Sur, a beloved member of the Green Lantern Corps crashes on earth, he calls forth a worthy replacement, Hal Jordan the test pilot, to …
Urban Justice
I personally thought the star of Steven Seagal was fading in the early to mid nineties. It seems as if someone keeps letting him make movies. Not that I mind him making more movies. But like this newest Seagal flick, Urban Justice proves, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen …
Napoleon Dynamite
I have met people who think Napoleon Dynamite is the most hilarious movie ever and some other people that say it isn’t funny at all. This is a movie that maybe is not possible to catalog either as funny or not funny: it’s really hard to say if it’s …
Zor (movie), 1998
The movie Zor released in 1998. I went to watch this movie being attracted by the songs of the film. But what a stupid movie it is. Alas my money is wasted and I get a headache in return. The plot of the film is so irrelevant, stupid and …
Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …
Blockbuster Video
We have often rented movies at Blockbuster, but lately we have been checking out a smaller video store down the road.
When the smaller store down the road does not have the movie we are looking for, we head to Blockbuster. The reason we opt to go to the smaller …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
Interstellar - Movie (2014)
I had the privilege of seeing Interstellar in theatres yesterday. I had high expectations for the film, given that Christopher Nolan is the director. I was not disappointed, I was actually amazed. Interstellar had a great story and the visuals were a treat. I’m glad I had the chance to …
School for Scoundrels
Before watching SFS, I was absolutely thrilled that my two favorite actors, John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Billy Bob Thorton (Bad Santa), had finally come together to make a movie that was sure to be hilarious. And that’s just what it was. I was on the floor laughing after …
The Runaways Movie
I watched The Runaways last night not knowing what the story was about. My sister-in-law asked me to watch it and tell her the gist of the story so that she can be included at some of their little chit-chats at the office. She feels a little …
