Resurrecting The Champ (PG-13, 2007) movie
I had heard of this film. But when I saw that Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson starred in it, I figured it was one of those movies in which the black man portrays a lost, but heroic figure. And the white man comes to save the day …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …
Saw 3
OMG. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE! The blood, the mind games, the twist the plot I absolutely loved this movie. Im a little squeemish yet I still loved it. The end was shocking and I cant wait to see the next movie to see what happens. It also teaches …
James & the Giant Peach
OK, I finally got a chance to watch the movie James & the Giant Peach. Wow, what a dull piece of garbage.

Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Possibly the most highly anticipated film of 2010 so far is finally here. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is a dark re-imagining of both Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Alice Through the Looking-Glass.” The film boasts a star-studded cast as well as appealing visual effects and costume …
Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …

Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
The Karate Kid Movie 2010
Ok, so I had watched this movie 2 times in the theater, and I would watch it again if given the chance! This movie runs for 2 hours, which I didn’t even notice as the time flew by for me. First, this movie is perfect for all ages, whether …

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
The Goonies 1985 Movie
I just saw this movie for the first time last night. My friends and I watched it together. It’s a very cute movie for kids, although there are some scary scenes which means it might not be so good for younger kids.
Each of the characters were quite funny, …

Cut Off movie
My wife and I picked up the movie Cut Off this past weekend and didn’t really know what to expect from it. It looked somewhat decent from the description on the back. But, as I told my wife, it also looked as though it could end up being some …
Avatar
I went to watch Avatar last night with my girlfriend at our local cinema’s new screen with 3D. It cost us £8 each to get in which is more expensive than normal at that cinema but the extra was because it was a 3D performance. On our way in …

King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …
War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds is such a good movie that I’ve watched before. This movie stars Tom Cruise and the little talented girl at that time, Dakota Fanning. It’s a movie basically about aliens invading, or what they call it, The Tripod. These tripods come in numbers, …
Grandview USA movie

I Come In Peace (1990)
A serial killing intergalactic murderer comes to earth to do what he does best; it would seem that what we produce here on earth has interstellar appeal so that even aliens come to claim their stake in the enterprise. Cocaine is the topic of this movie and the alien …
The Elephant Man (1980)
Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …

Hey, I like monster movies as much as the next person. And, it’s rare to find a good mummy movie. So, when I had a chance to watch the film 7 Mummies, I figured I would give it a try.
Wow, was I disappointed.
The problem with this movie, which is …
I, Robot
This movie is about the future, where there are robots. Will Smith is the main character in the movie. I think he does an amazing job in the movie and wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t in it. I really enjoyed watching the movie and it kept …

IMDb
IMDb is the international movies database, and for good reason. The sheer size of the amount of movies covered on this website is simply unsurpassed, I’d say. Every movie has a page, even if all is listed is a simple title. But rest assured, that situation will only persist …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie

Rosewater (drama movie)
When I heard that John Stewart was writing and directing a movie, I was eager to see it. I assumed that since he’s a comedian and media critic the movie would be a comedy of sorts. I guess I should have probably read up on the movie first or at …
Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
Dinosaur animated movie
Dinosaur is a great animated movie. This movie came out around 2000 or so. It’s most suitable for children or young teens but I think it can also be enjoyed by adults. I certainly enjoyed it. The scenery is breath taking. The animation is so good that it almost …
Paranormal Activity (R, 2007)

From Justin to Kelly (2003)
This movie, starring the winner and second place runner for the American Idol competition, is nothing more than a publicity stunt to get the names and faces of these two nobodies and the time some well deserved attention. Bearing that in mind will help you to understand that this …
Braveheart
I’ll admit it here only: this movie made me cry. This is not easy for a macho dude like me to admit! Nevertheless, I must say that I was moved by this is story.
Mel Gibson scores a touchdown in this film. It is the story …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )

Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …
