Pirates 3
I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …
Wishing Well movie
Wishing Well is a 2009 TV movie that aired on the Hallmark Channel. It fits the mode of family film, but it’s a very old plot, one that has been re-used to death over the past few years.
Here’s the plot. Big city girl gets sent to small …
A lot like love (movie)
I watched this movie a couple of years ago, overall I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was a lot funnier than I expected it to be. I hadn’t seen any previews to it before I watched it and just saw it on television one day and …

CBGB (movie)
When I saw the title of this movie on the cable guide recently, I wasn’t sure what to expect from it, especially since the acronym just did not sound familiar to me. However, when I read the description, which indicated that it had to do with a part of …
Grease (1978)
Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …

I am going to review a film called black knight starring the black actor Martin Lawrence.He plays a character called jamal sky walker.It is about an african american theme park employee named Jamal Skywalker who finds himself in 14th century England after falling into a lake near the theme …
Ratatouille (2007 film)
The 2007 children’s animation movie “Ratatouille” is a fun family film that kept me entertained and laughing as I watched a rat long to be a chef, and work with a man in France to not only further the humans career, but be able to cook delicious foods that …
The Holiday Movie
There are some actors and actresses that I avoid when deciding what movies to go to the theater and watch or what movies to rent. I usually avoid anything with Jude Law, Jack Black, and Cameron Diaz. So imagine my surprise when I actually rented a movie staring all …
Cujo
If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …
The Ultimate Gift
The Ultimate Gift (a recent 2007 release) proves once again that you can make a good - no, excellent - movie without blood, gore, sex scenes, and bad language. Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) is a trust fund kid who hasn’t worked a day in his life. Raised in wealth, …
Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …
The Wedding Date movie
I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …
Alot Like Love (2005 movie)
Love is a complicated matter…and this movie shows just how complicated it can get. Mixed signals…lack of communication…looking for love in all the wrong places…having to make terrible decisions…the list goes on and on. This movie would have done much better if it was just a drama. The comedy …
The Unbelievable Truth movie
This is one of my favorite Hal Hartley films. Brave, daring narrative and visual style, an engaging story focused on human dignity and about the coolest soundtrack ever makes this one of Hartley’s prime works, and also places him in the rare group of interesting american filmmakers the last …
Bingo movie
Bingo is a movie about a dog who runs away from the circus in search of a boy to play with and a good home. He saves a boy named Chuckie who has trouble fitting in with other boys and almost drowns. The problem is Chuckie’s parents …
8 Mile (Movie)
This movie features my favorite singer and rapper Marshall Mathers also known as Eminem, and this movie was his breakout movie and the world really knew what he was capable of when everyone watched this, it was truly a nice performing and moving movie that will just prove how …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Cars (2006)
Disney and Pixar’s Cars, directed by John Lasseter and Joe Ranft is rated G by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars the voices of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen, Paul Newman as Doc Hudson, Bonnie Hunt as Sally Carrera, Chech Marin as Ramine, Larry ‘the cable guy’ …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
We ended up picking up the second Madagascar movie “Escape 2 Africa” last night and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The first one was OK but not the best movie ever and we all know sequels usually don’t live up to the original.
As it turns out, the second …
Rio (Animation)
I remember walking to a mall one day and there was a HUGE banner on top of the roof about Rio. And then when I went to target next to the mall, they also have a huge stand with Rio DVD/Bluray pack. I heard really good reviews about this …
Darkman, Blu-ray Superhero action film
Darkman is one of those classic movies that you will want to buy anytime a new version comes out. Me, I love Darkman and I am one of those who have to own every version of Darkman. Since I love Darkman and some people would call me an idiot …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …
Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …

Shaun of the Dead (2004) is a comedy directed by Edgar Wright and is rated R by the MPAA for zombie violence/gore and language.

Rango Movie
I looked forward to going to see Rango for probably three reasons. Number one of course was getting to hang out with my nephew and secondly I was looking forward to the movie because it looked good in the trailers. The third reason? I was looking …

Kiki’s Delivery Service movie
Kiki’s Delivery Service is, in my opinion, a very aesthetically pleasing movie. The music and the animation flow together well - so well that other than a couple of songs, you barely notice the music. I really liked the initial flying scene as well - I thought it looked …
Sherlock Holmes movie (2009)
Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …
Napoleon Dynamite (2008)
There is a good reason why this movie has turned into success- no doubt about it, it is one funny movie. A word of caution must be brought though- it is the classical example to the kind of movies that you are not supposed to watch by yourself. The …
XXI Theatre
This XXI Theatre is opened in the most famous mall in Manado, Manado Town Square, or usually called as Mantos. For the first time it opened, XXI had just four studios but, as the Indonesian Movies gets booming, XXI expanded its movie studios to be six studios.

Bewitched movie
I must admit that I enjoy watching the director, Nora Ephron movies. She gave us great romantic comedies, such “When Harry meet Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You Have Got Mail”. I feel that she lost her magic touch in this movie and it is no wonder that the …
Happy Feet Movie
My one year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. We have the DVD and I believe we have watched this movie atleast twenty times. She adores the dancing and singing and gets the happy feet herself as she dances non stop to the musicals. I myself love the humor …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
The Gnome-Mobile
Here is another Disney treasure from my past. I can still remember seeing this movie as a double feature at the drive-in movies, growing up in Southern California. What made it Disney was its comic sequences, and its stock character actors, namely Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, …
Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill
The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
My wife and I watched a movie yesterday that we are both huge fans of “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
When this movie first came out, I didn’t even know what it was. I figured it was a movie about a ghost. When I watched it the first time, however, …
Running Scared
I don’t really like the movie, Running Scared. It is too much filled with violence and certainly not suitable for kids to watch at all.
The movie is about the character Paul Walker (and he’s looking really handsome in this movie) trying to race with time to get …
Casino Royale (2006)
Casino Royale (2006) is a drama directed by Martin Campbell and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violent action, a scene of torture, sexual content and nudity.
Casino Royale is a revamping of the James Bond franshise. It begins in Madagarcar where Bond (Daniel Craig) is after a …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …
American Gangster
Any movie with Denzel Washington as the lead role in it, promises a lot from the onset. As for American Gangster, I really think the whole cast as well as the behind-the-scenes team did an excellent job in every respect of the delivery.
This movie is a hit and everything …
Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
