Prometheus movie
The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?
Well, many people have many mixed opinions of the film. Personally I found it quite good, though conflicting. The plot went well, and mixed in nicely with the very first Alien film that came out. I …

Movie Atonement
Oh wow, this movie blew me away. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It is one I would actually buy on DVD if my fiance didn’t have that Blockbuster promotion thing. I love the costumes, the set designs, everything. The ending …

The actor, Tom Cruise managed to do a lot of things with his trilogy movie “Mission Impossible”. To put everything in a nutshell he managed to create a unique image to “Mission Impossible” with the special effects involved and, at the same time, destroy the strong concept of team …

Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
I cannot even begin to explain how utterly disappointed I was with this film. Film is not even a word that can describe the atrocity of this HorrorFest movie. I saw that it featured Gabrielle Anwar. And I suppose that because I saw her …
Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …
My Louisiana Sky movie
A film set in the 1950s America about a young girl who is raised by her grandmother because both her parents have severe diseases. When the grandmother dies the girl gets to live with her aunt instead, but she lives many miles away from her parents, and there is …
Movie The Postman
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan and I’m just as likely to leave one of his movies on the shelf of our local video store rather than go out of my way to watch it.
But, as far as his movies go, his film The Postman is actually better …
Movie: “Mindhunters”
I can’t recommend “Mindhunters” passionately enough: it’s so much more than just action; it’s a deep psychological thriller that will have you guessing at every turn.
Rather than just introducing mindless FBI drones, the movie presents a cast of rich characters, all with their own strengths and frailties. They are …
Farewell to Harry movie
From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …

Old School the movie
I sat down with my mother, we were having a girls movie night. This girls night movie theme was comedy. Will Ferrel is always at the top of my list for comedy movies. He did not let me down on this one at all. I laughed during almost the …
The Interview, movie
There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …
Movie Rocky
Rocky came out in 1976 and was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone. It is a movie that has inspired me most of my life. It’s about an average, unknown boxer who gets a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
In the movie, the Champion, Apollo Creed, …
Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …
Omar (drama movie)
I had my doubts about watching the movie Omar even though it was recommended to me. I didn’t know much about it except that it was set somewhere in the Middle East, and I was truly tired of watching depressing films and news of people struggling to be themselves and …
Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
Changeling (2008)
This movie is about the telling of a woman’s story, a story that involves the misuse of power and what happens to the regular people when they do not adhere to what the powers that be tells them to do. When Angelina Jolie’s character Christine Collin’s son goes missing, …
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)
A popular cartoon series is taken from the television screen and tossed in as a Motion Picture for everyone all over the world to see and enjoy where possible. The fame and success of this cartoon pushed the creators to make it into a movie, that, or quite possible, …
For What It’s Worth (2004) Dave Chappelle
I love Dave Chappelle. His sense of humor is insane. I love the easy way that he fires off hilarious tidbits and can easily bring an audience to its knees (and to its feet at the end of the show). The title “comedic genuis” fits him well. For those …
The Black Dahlia, Brian De Palma Movie
Los Angeles, in the era of 1940s. At that time, dilapidation is still under LA police department, but Ellis Loew Regional Prosecutor seeks to improve the situation. At that time also, there are two powerful detectives, Lee Blanchard and Bucky Bleichert. Duo detective even have a nickname is Mr. …
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …
Cyborg 1989 Movie Starring Van Damme
I guess what I am going to be trying to do right now is to justify the grade I am about to give this movie. I am going to give this movie the grade of eight out of ten, and assert that it is a very good film. I …
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (action spy-thriller movie)
I’m not usually one of those people who run to see every Mission Impossible movie that is released. However, when I saw the trailer for this one and saw the amount of stunts and action in it, I thought that this was definitely something that I could not miss. After …
Fantasia/2000 movie
The IMAX movie Fantasia/2000 was a blast with my little cousins. I brought both of my 2 darling cousins to watch this IMAX movie, and since both of them are 4 and 3 years respectively, they giggled throughout the movie, and really enjoyed it so much.
My most favorite …
The grudge 2
I watched the grudge 2 a while ago. There are a couple of things about the movie that I didn’t like. First of, I think they should have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie a lot longer than they did. Second, there were parts that were supposed to …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” 1975, is one ridiculous movie, a treat for a lover of absurdities and slapstick humor. King Arthur and some of his knights are searching for the holy grail. For some reason they ride imaginary horses - yes, that’s right: throughout the movie …
The Amazing Spiderman (movie)
Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
Erin Brokovich Movie
Starring Julia Roberts (as Erin Brokovich) and Albert Finney, this movie is based on the true story of Erin Brokovich-Ellis (who makes a special appearance in the film ~ watch for her, as a waitress named, ironically, Julia). Aaron Eckhart is also in the film.
I loved this movie. …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
The Butler (2013 Film)
The Butler is one of those movies that I like to call a quiet movie that’s meant for winding down. You don’t turn on this kind of movie, ready for action or something intensely graphic to happen. It’s a movie that tells you a deep rooted story. My review …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 3
RomeoXJuliet Episode 3 begins with Juliet in the cemetery, and Conrad giving her the family sword. All the retainers swear their allegiance to her and she remembers the night her parents were killed, which causes her to faint from shock. She talks to Cordelia and later Conrad …
Song of the Gringo movie
Song of the Gringo from 1936 is actually Tex Ritter’s first movie role. He does a decent job as he enters the rank of the singing cowboy, which ruled the era in many ways. Being his first picture, he doesn’t have a sidekick and poor White Flash, …
Requiem for a Dream
Whoever told you that this movie is a wacky comedy, they lied.
It has its amusing moments, mostly the hallucinations of Harry’s mother, but this is a dark and pretty depressing movie.
It could’ve so easily fallen into the hackneyed hammering in of the idea that “drugs are bad …

The original release date was November 10, 2000 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Val Kilmer …
Movie Cabin Fever
I would have to say that Cabin Fever is one of my most favorite horror movies. You might think that it is crazy that I say that, but i have a reason for saying that.
the theme of the movie is a flesh eating disease that is responsible …
Movie Family Stone
I watched this movie on cable about a week ago. I wanted to see it when it first came out and I totally forgot all about it. So when it was on the other night I watched it. It started out really good but toward the middle and the …
