Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
Since I don’t have time to sit down and read the books, my only knowledge of Harry Potter is through the movies. And, I have to say the movies aren’t getting better as the series progresses.
I had high hopes for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because …
Black Sheep movie
I am reviewing the movie, Black Sheep, starring Chris Farley and David Spade. When Mike’s (Farley) brother is running for governor, there is nothing Mike would rather do than help him out. Unfortunately for Mike, he is a little accident prone. Everything he does seems to mess things up …
We Are Marshall Movie
We Are Marshall starts out with the tragedy of Marshall’s football team in 1970 (for those of you who don’t know, the plan crashed killing all but four of the football team, as well as most of the coaches and football staff, some parents, and fans, a total of …
The Davinci code Movie
There was much hype over this movie and it was the highly rented movie.Only last month i was able to rent this movie.I have already read the book by Dan brown.i dont think this movie is well translated.If you haven’t read the book before sure it wont …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …
Movie Messengers
I loved watching this movie, although it reminded me a little of amytville horror. It was an overall amazing movie. It’s the kind of thriller I love to watch. There were no gory parts in it and the movie was played out well, it had a good story to …
The Empire Strikes Back movie
As I said in my Star Wars review, I’ve only seen the original three movies and I loved them. They made a complete package for me. In my heart, I think of this movie as The Empire Strikes Back and not as Star Wars: Episode V - …
“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) Film
Though it still rates as a “B movie,” Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the 1978 Romero cult classic still rates as a smart, mostly consistent, and occasionally humorous film. I wouldn’t finger the movie as being a turning point in the zombie genre, but it’s certainly a high point, …
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015 Animated Superhero Movie)
I grew up reading DC Comics sometimes, and also watching animated series that revolved around popular DC Comic characters such as Superman and Batman and the Justice League. Now that I’m an adult I still watch some of their animated movies on occasion, especially when I’m feeling in the mood …
The Matrix movie
I just love The Matrix movie. I watched it five times on the big screen. I love special effects and just from the looks of the movie trailer alone, I could already tell that I was going to love this film. True enough, I got hooked …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
The Dark Knight
The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …
Taken 2, movie
I enjoyed “Taken” well enough. It wasn’t the most complex piece of cinema, but if you wanted to see Liam Neeson beat up bad guys, it delivered.
It seemed like one of those movies that didn’t really need a sequel. Not everything needs to be turned into a …
The Insider
I thought The Insider was a great movie. This movie was very exciting and interesting. It shows how dangerous being an insider with info can be. This is a story about a man who is an insider at the Tobacco industry. He works for the Tobacco industry, but he knows …
What happens in Vegas
I received this from blockbuster yesterday, I wanted to hurry up and watch it so that I could send it back today. I thought it was a pretty good movie overall. It definitely made me laugh a couple of times. Although it wasn’t hilarious it still made me laugh …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
We finally got around to watching the second to last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on New Years Eve.
I still think the first couple movies were the better movies, but this one was better than some of the later films; both when it came …
Step Up 2: The Streets
Although it is the sequel of “Step Up”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” offers a different type of movie from the original version. I expected the story to be based again, like in the original movie, at the Maryland School of Arts, however the action takes place else where …
Ultramarines : A Warhammer 40.000 movie
Created by Games Workshop, Warhammer universe is one of the oldest fantasy universes. At first it was a simple table game, but over time expanded to large manufacturing companies have obtained the license for toys, toys that created this exquisite universe. The toys were followed by the emergence of …
The Hurt Locker
Prior to bagging the best picture trophy, this was not one of my favorites. I was rooting for The Blind Side or Precious for the Best Picture in this year’s Academy Awards.
The story revolves around the lives of William James who heads the US Army Explosive Disposal …
Watchmen
Watchmen, a very popular comic series by DC Comics has finally made its way to the movies. Shown in different countries worldwide, the movie became very sensational.
Characters:
Bringing to life the characters from the comic strip to the movies was quite good. Though I really do not like the skin …
Hatchet Movie
Hatchet is without a doubt the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. People kept telling me to watch the remake of Halloween or a film from the After Dark series, or even one of the foreign horror movies, but nothing kept my attention like Hatchet did. …
The Green Mile
I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
Ricky Gervais is known for his over-the-top humor, but there was nothing funny about this movie. The movie started out with an intriguing idea of a world where everybody is forced to say what is on their mind and tell 100% truths, but then one …
Skin Deep (1989)
Zack, played by John Ritter, has a very serious problem and the only way he knows how to deal with it is by drinking himself stone drunk and having affairs. Zach has a wife and a mistress, his mistress walks in on him cheating on her with another woman …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
Double Jeopardy (1999)
Double Jeopardy, directed by Bruce Beresford is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language, a scene of sexuality and some violence. The original release date was September 24, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/Mystery/Thriller and stars Tommy Lee …
Bridge of Spies, movie by Steven Spielberg (2015)
“Bridge of Spies” is based on the true story of the February 1962 exchange of Abel, a Soviet spy arrested in the United States for Powers, an American pilot shot down in the USSR. Spielberg himself insists that he was not interested in political expediency.
New York lawyer James Donovan …
Shallow Hal
I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …
The Flim-Flam Man,1967 movie
This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out! He plays (wonderfully) a veteran con artist named Mordecai Jones who maintains that “you can’t cheat an honest …
Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is one of the greatest movies of all time. Judy Garland played an excellent Dorothy. We can all learn something from the scarecrow, the lion and the tin man. So click your heels and follow the yellow brick road. Most people have …
3:10 to Yuma-the Removie (2007)
I like westerns very much and am always pleased when Hollywood makes another one with a high budget and good actors. I enjoyed “3:10 to Yuma”-the removie very much. I found it believable and superior to the original. “3:10 to Yuma” is a Relativity Media production, a company that …
Return from Witch Mountain movie
Return from Witch Mountain was the first follow up to the Disney favorite, Escape to Witch Mountain. It’s the only one which included the original —˜kids’, Tia and Tony. Now teenagers, both Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann returned as the brother and sister from another world who …
Women Are Like That movie
Women Are Like That is a film from 1938 that starred Kay Francis and Pat O’Brien. In spite of O’Brien’s presence, I found this film to be one big boring waste of time. I actually watched it and other movies one day on TCM. They were …
So I Married an Axe Murderer
I’m not a huge fan of some of his later Austin Powers movies, but I have always thought Mike Myers was a bit underrated when it comes to his films. That’s why I took the time to watch one of his first movies again; “So I Married an Axe …
Mrs. Doubtfire
A lovable, but irresponsible father of three finds himself torn away from his three kids after a messy divorce. Desperate to see them more the occasional Saturday granted by the judge, Daniel (Robin Williams) goes to extreme lengths, donning the convincing disguise of an elderly Scottish woman, getting the …
Alice in Wonderland (2010) movie
Alice in Wonderland is the newest release on this old tale but it is a new twist on the story that we have all heard before. The man behind the magic this time is Tim Burton.
The story takes place when Allison is 19 returning to Wonderland, actually called …
Eden Lake - (starring Kelly Reilly)
Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …
Date Night Movie (2010)
Every movie Steve Carrell makes I am loving him more and more. It seems he just gets better at what he does best - acting comedic parts that aren’t really supposed to be funny. I know it doesn’t like a complement but he really is a good actor and …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
House of the Dead (2003)
House of the Dead (2003) is a horror film by German director Uwe Boll and is rated R for pervasive strong violence/gore, language and some nudity.
House of the Dead is about a group of college kids who hear about a Halloween rave off on a remote island in the …
Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)
There are times when some of the best movies I’ve seen were ones I stumbled across haphazardly. I first became aware of this particular film after seeing a t-shirt for it on the horror site, Rotten Cotton. A trailer for the film was viewable next to the …
The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
Prom Night movie
In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …
Big Momma’s House 2 (2006)
FBI Agent Malcolm Turner returns in the sequel, this time he is married to the woman of the first movie and they are expecting a little bundle of joy, so he is assigned a desk job that will keep him out of the field until the delivery is over …
The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …
Precious (movie)
Precious which came out on November 6th, 2009, was a great inspirational movie that entails a teenager going through some hard obstacles. Her name was Clareece “Precious” Jones, which everyone just called her Precious. She stayed with her mom in Harlem who treated her bad and gave her a …
