Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …
Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …
Bride of Frankenstein movie
James Whale’s classic sequel to Frankenstein. Here we see Boris Karloff yet again as the monster who is misunderstood as a savage killer, depending on his looks and unability to speak. At the same time the real monster, an insane colleague to dr Frankenstein, plans to create a bride …
How To Train Your Dragon 3D
At a first glance the movie, “How To Train Your Dragon” looks like another dreamworks movie put out there on the market to continue on the franchise of dreamworks. You may be partly correct, but just to let you know as a reviewer, I am personally fond of this …
Miss Congeniality Movie
I loved this movie. Sandra Bullock plays Gracie Hart, a dedicated FBI agent to whom her job is everything and her appearance is not that important. Supposedly, she is unattractive, and her male co-workers don’t even notice her as a female (I am saying “supposedly” because, to me, Sandra …
Baby Boom (1987)
A career driven woman whose life is very hectic soon loses all that she holds dear when she inherits a baby that was left from a deceased cousin of hers, the entrance of the little bundle of joy turned her world upside down as the lifestyle that she has …
Wrong Turn (2003)
We get a taste as to what to expect as the movie progresses, a male and a female are doing rock climbing, the man reaches the top first and while cheering the female onward is thrown off to his death by unseen killers, in that same instance, the killers …
Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …
I Love You, Man movie
I don’t know most of the names of the characters in this movie I have just watched sometime this week, I Love You, Man. I do know that the guy whom plays the main character is the same guy acting alongside Phoebe in Friends. I only know him …
Eyes Wide Shut movie
Eyes Wide Shut is Stanley Kubrick’s last film as a director, and is a highly under appreciated study of sexually jealousy and paranoia. A young doctor (Tom Cruise) whose wife (Nicole Kidman) confesses a sex fantasy about another man to him, sending him off into an insecure rage. …
Hot Fuzz (2007 Film)
If you have enjoyed the guys from “Shawn of the Dead” then you will also enjoy this new film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in the 2007 film “Hot Fuzz”. This film was hilarious and very entertaining to watch, with the British humor and some explicit death scenes, …
W. movie
I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …
Movie Speed Racer
Don’t watch this movie if you have a migraine or sensitive to lights. I had a migraine when we first popped this in to watch and after 15 minutes had to turn it off I was so nauseous. The colors are so vivid and bright and then …
Remember Me (2010)
I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …
Pterodactyl (2005) movie
I wanted to see this movie for a long time as I like dinosaur movies and it turned out to be rather decent! Yes, it’s not exactly another Jurassic Park but the movie has a solid enough plot and the pterodactyls looked pretty good. The only real hitch is …
Monkey business movie
A not so well known film with the fabulous Marx brothers. This time they hide on board a luxury boat as free passengers, and the misunderstandings quickly start to grow.
What is interesting about these brothers are the roles divided. Groucho is the verbal part, and in courting to many …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop
A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li
I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
Warlock (1989)
Julian Sands is a warlock being accused of practicing witch-craft and is condemned to be hung and burnt. On the day before his execution, he escapes and teleports to modern day from the past. Kinda like from the day of the pilgrims to present day.
In hot pursuit to recapture …
Oceans-movie (2010)
Last night, my best friend and I went to see the movie Oceans and I have to say that it was pretty good! I would totally recommend going to see it, especially if you like not only Hollywood, but also documentary type of movies. You will enjoy learning about …
King Kong Production Diaries
When The remake of King Kong came out on dvd I was excited to pick up my copy because this movie was a fantastic movie with loads of visual effects and it was the by far the best remake of any King Kong. I also really liked alot of …
Ghost Ship (2002 movie)
All is well is seems as the passengers on a Cruise ship enjoy their evening, dancing and having a merry time. The wellness does not last for long as all die tragically. You have to see it to know the tragedy in it. A salvage crew is recruited to …
Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …
Glitter-film
I recently watched a rags-to-riches film starring the singer Mariah Carey.It is called glitter and is about a singer named Billie Frank who rises to success after being abadndoned by her mother and sent to an orphanage when she was a child.
The story starts with billie and her mother …
Gidget Goes to Rome movie
The third Gidget movie was entitled Gidget Goes to Rome. It marks the last time that James Darren would appear as the very handsome and ‘oh, I’m swooning’ when I see him, Moondoggie. He was happy to move on from the character, though he understands its place …
The Dark Night
I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.
I enjoyed “Batman Begins,” but it didn’t capture my imagination is the way I hoped it would. …
Norwegian Wood (2010 film)
Norwegian Wood is the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s novel of the same title, directed by Tran Anh Hung and shot in various locations in Japan. It was, I recall, an article about the author in the nytimes —“ a teaser before the release date of …
Wonder Woman (2009 Animation Film)
Besides Batman, Wonder Woman is my favorite superhero from DC comics. There are so many variations, of the character, but I never grow tired of them. Which is how I came to watch the Wonder woman animated film. I was eager to see this take on this animated version of …
Persona movie
Regarded by many as Ingmar Bergman’s best film and also one of the best “art” films ever made. It is a complex film about dimensions, simply put, where two women is the center of Bergman’s focus. Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson portrait two very different women, one of them …
Movie: Planet 51
I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …
Irreconcilable Differences
Irreconcilable Differences with Ryan O’Neal, Shelley Long, Sharon Stone, and Drew Barrymore.
I had heard so much about this movie’s quality that I longed to see it for the first time. It will be the last time. The movie is the enactment of the recollections …
Odd Couple 2 movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple 2, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the second one. The first one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple, and it features a very young looking Walter Matthau and …
Meet John Doe movie
Meet John Doe is one of the classics from the golden age of movie making. It has an impressive cast headlined by Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. It is the superb acting that truly contributes to making this a standard in the sense of being one of …
Soul Plane (2004)
Bad times fall on an unsuspecting victim and in addition to his humility, he also loses his dog when it got sucked out of the plane and through the plane engine death instantly. He sues the airline and is awarded a grand amount of money. This he took and …
The Good Girl
I think this is one of the best movies ever to put into light how good an actress Jennifer Aniston is. I have always thought that she could act in movies and she has surpassed all comments saying that she can’t act and all that. Try watching The …
A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace
Though I have not seen this movie in ages, it still remains one of my favourite children’s movies. It was released in the year nineteen ninety eight and I think that the first place where I watched it was on the Disney Channel one Thursday or Friday night when …
Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy [Garth Jennings, 2005]
Please don’t watch this film. Listen to the radio series, read the books, or watch the BBC television series as a far more worthy introduction to Douglas Adams. Alternatively, watch paint dry.
There are a few good things about the film. The visioning of things like the Heart of Gold …

“2019: After The Fall of New York” is yet another average B-movie …
American Violet movie
American Violet is a movie that I knew very little about. I had been seeing a billboard advertising it inside one of the neighborhood restaurants I sometimes frequent. This still did not really grab my attention although I am an avid movie lover.
I ended up coming across the movie …
A Woman Under the Influence
I saw this movie going on some time ago on a certain channel although I cannot remember exactly which one. I hesitated to watch it at the time too since I realised that the movie was actually a movie from the seventies and I tend not to like most …
Duplicity
I normally loathe watching or reading romantic books and movies; thus I had absolutely no intention to watch the romance comedy film Duplicity until one of my friends somehow managed to trick me into watching it with her. Unlike her promises that the movie would get better, I found …
Somewhere in Time
I’m usually a big Christopher Reeve fan but seeing his 1980 film “Somewhere in Time” yesterday was a serious disappointment for me.
He did a decent job in the movie, don’t get me wrong. So did Jane Seymour and a cast that included Christopher Plummer and a very young William …
The Big 4 live DVD
The Big 4 is made of thrash legends Anthrax,Slayer,Megadeth, and Metallica. The tour is made up of these four legends to support their upcoming albums and to give thrash fans a special treat. They recently came out with a dvd of the four bands plying live in Sofia,Bulgaria. …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …
Creepshow 3
The 3rd movie from the Creepshow saga. Im a big fan of the 1st 2 creepshows but this one was horrible. The movie contains 5 short stories , “Alice” which is about a spoiled brat thats caught between 2 universes using a demonic tv remote, “The Radio” a talking …
Crawlspace
Well, when I read the description of the movie Crawlspace (a former Nazi spies on female tenants and then traps them in a secret torture chamber) I figured it would at least be worth a thrill or two. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I’m …
Gremlins
A movie that children and adults alike will enjoy is Gremlins. Gremlins are these little creatures that are fierce and scary and evolve, magically, from Mogwai. You see, the Mogwai are fine and lovable and rather like little teddy bears, unless they have water. Once the water gets on …
