Movies Reviews
The Guardian
Kevin Costner is one of my favorite actors. I will try to watch most of his movies. In the Guardian the co start is Ashton Kutcher, he is not one of the best actors out there, but Kevin was in this movie so I had to watch …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …
To Kill a Mockingbird
I am reviewing the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was made back in the 1960s. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. This movie remains to be my mother’s favorite and my favorite movie ever. There is just something …
El Cantante (R, 2007) movie
It’s amazing how you can go into a movie expecting horrible acting, and a bad plot. But Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have really tapped into a very interesting story about Hector Lavoe. Many people have never heard of this famous salsa king from New York City …
Know Your History: Jesus Is Black; So Was Cleopatra

Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
Brideshead Revisited
For those of you who are old enough you will remember the epic 11 hour series Brideshead Revisited which was without a doubt one of the best TV series ever to come out of England. If you go to the movie Brideshead Revisited expecting the same great script and …

Baby Geniuses (1999)
Scientifically engineered babies are used to fund a secret organization that in turns fund a theme park. Hmmm, a very interesting situation. I don’t get it and neither will you. LOL! All you will need to understand about this movie is that there are super babies cultivated by scientists …
Duplex movie
I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …
Old School movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Old School last night, when it was on TV. I’m not sure how much of the film got edited for television but I have to admit, it was better than I expected it to bed.
Will Ferrell has two different kinds …
National Lampoon’s Stoned Age Unrated, comedy film
A movie so bad they decided to call it something completely different when it was released on video. Stoned Age is the comedy to bear the National Lampoon name. At one time this name met something but now you can see why the National Lampoon series is dreaded by …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …

Freedom Writers (movie)
Freedom Writers stars Hilary Swank as the teacher who goes into a system that is doomed and comes out on top. Hilary Swank is awesome as Erin, and she does not disappoint at all in this role. Another thing that I really like about Freedom Writers is that it …
Legend of the Red Dragon-Jet Li
I am an extreme fan of martial arts movies. When I saw this one had Jet Li as a main character, I just had to add it to my collection. He is one of the greatest martial artists in present day. The stunts and the imagery in this movie …
Dolores Clairbourne
I watched the movie “Dolores Clairbourne” for the second time recently with my brother. I watched it because it was based on the novel by the popular horror and thriller writer Stephen King who is one of my favourite authors, and even though I didn’t know what the movie …
Eyes of a Stranger
Eyes of a Stranger is a Richard Dean Anderson film from 1992 that I’ve never seen, most likely because I’m really not into murder mysteries that are scary all that much, and that’s what this film is suppose to be. Since someone gifted me with this recently, it …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Lethal Lifestyle movie
Hal Holbrook returns as Wild Bill McKenzie in A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Lethal Lifestyle. With Raymond Burr unavailable, several movies were made with other attorneys, like this one. Wild Bill is a cowboy, so we see him on his ranch and on horseback. …

Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
Ladyhawke (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “Ladyhawke” was not only a strong dose of fantasy that touches everyone’s inner child and magical yearning for something powerful that can’t possibly be real, as well as beautiful love story that was heartwarming to watch. Mathew Broderick, a very young Mathew Broderick, as well as …
Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy movie
The old version from the early 1980s, taken from the classic novel by Douglas Adams about Arthur Dent and his dear friend Ford Prefect who go together on a cosmic journey through the galaxy and meets the most curious species. I have also seen the new version that came …
Chuck Vs the Third Dimension
I’m not sure what the problem was, but the three d glasses which were made available for this episode but they didn’t work all that well. I suspect that I sit closer to my TV than most people, so I’m going to assume that was it for now.
The plot …
Robocop (1987 movie)
Gracefully working its way unto the silver screen, then to VHS, eventually making its way to DVD…Robocop has affixed itself as one of the greatest movies of all time.
Whether you have seen it before all the way back in 1987 or whether you see it today, none can deny …
Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Well? The 3rd Installation of The Mummy movie the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was quite disappointing! not only some of the main character had been changed? but also the Chinese theme of the story. for my opinion? when a movie like the mummy blend with Chinese culture well? …
Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …
Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a movie that is highly recommmended by on eof my friend, so I rented a DVD and watched it yesterday. It was one of thoise movies that makes you think a lot about life after you have finished watching it.
A simple story line of a …

The Outer Limits : “Essence of Life” episode
As I skimmed through the episodes of The Outer Limits on DVD, I ran across one that was only slightly less nauseating than some of the others. In “Essence of Life”, a mysterious vial of liquid possesses the ability to “reincarnate” the image of the deceased, if sniffed …
Death Sentence DVD
Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …
The Kingdom Movie
Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …
The Departed
Anybody that has seen this movie would probably review it the same way. It was fantastic and i don’t even know if that’s enough. It was the best movie i’ve seen in a long time. I am not normally a “Leo” fan but he was the best I’ve ever …
The Expendables 2 movie
When going to watch the sequel to 2010’s action packed “The Expendables”, I was initially sceptical, based on the previous outing from Stallone and co. The original, while impressing with it’s juicy, gory action scenes, did little for me, with shaky stiff performances from Stallone and some of the …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …
The Way We Were movie
The Way We Were is a classic motion picture. It’s a love story with a questionable ending. It’s romantic and tragic. It’s wonderful. The movie stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, and boy do they sizzle together. It’s not an easy relationship, but the …
Enough Movie
This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …
Alien Quadrilogy movie
The Alien saga is one of the finest and most enduring film series’ out there, and certainly one of the finest science fiction series’ out there. The legendary Ellen Ripley provides us with one of the strongest female characters of all time and once again, definitely a stand out …
Baby Einstein DVD’s
When I first put in the Baby Mozart DVD my baby was just born and her response even at that young of an age was so positive I went out and bought the set of all 20 and am very glad I did.
The DVD’s state which ones are …

Rumor Has It movie
I had doubts when I rented another Jennifer Aniston movie, since she tends to be hit or miss. But, I was very surprised at how funny Rumor Has It was.
Anniston is great as a woman who is on the verge of a breakdown after finding out her family is …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
