Movies Reviews
John Tucker Must Die
Before renting this movie, i had heard TONS of negative reviews. So who cares? The people who review movies in newspapers are CRAZY! Some of the best movies receive 2 or 3 stars, while absolutely atrocious movies receive 5! However, the fact that many of …
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Will Ferrell, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This movie is a perfect example of dry humor. Danny DeVito delivers his cynical lines in his trademark manner. Curtis is her usual sexy self as the waitress had …
Wedding Daze - (starring Jason Biggs)
I certainly think that Jason Biggs is such a cutie and Isla Fisher in this movie story, Wedding Daze are such a cute couple. I can’t possibly imagine anyone that would marry in such a hurry and that is really something that no one in their right mind would …
The Invasion (PG-13, 2007)
I was all prepared to really hate this movie, or at the very least, dislike it intensely. This is because most of the films of this genre - especially those that are remakes of old classics—tend to be very poorly made. I knew this movie had …
Highschool muscial 2
I just watched HSM for the third time and it really is still entertaining to me, the characters just seem so vibrant and dedicated to their roles its great. This is another teen movie where they go out to get drunk and have sex, this is something different, …

Wall*e
Wall*e is such a cute movie. I rented it for my kids the day that it was finally available on DVD.
It’s a story about a trash robot that was left on earth, along with other trash robots, all most seven hundred years ago. Humans had made so much trash …
Stargate SG-1 - The Enemy Within
The second episode of the TV series Stargate SG-1 was called “The Enemy Within”. It’s a transition episode really from the pilot movie to the series itself. It’s not a big favorite of mine, probably because it is still struggling with getting all its eggs in its …
Picasso documentary
Picasso is a documentary that highlights the legendary career of Pablo Picasso. This documentary takes the viewer across almost eighty years to explore his life and examine his accomplishments.
The portrayal of his innovative art is beautifully done. Picasso’s artwork depicted every mood he encountered, every belief he stood by, …
Planet of the Apes
I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …
The Proposal Movie (2009)
The Proposal is a romantic comedy movie that starts Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra Bullock is such a good actress that any movie that stars her is probably a good quality movie. She plays a snobbish, selfish, egocentric boss who is a Canadian citizen and is in dire …

If you guys were disappointed with the recent Disney Movie Wall-E, and still want a good movie with robot type creatures, Batteries Not Included is for you ! It’s not an animated flick, but it’s so good. It’s a movie from 1987, where they had to rely on acting …

Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …

“The Other Woman” is a romantic comedy directed by Nick Cassavetes (the same from “The Notebook” and “Alpha Dog”) and starred by Cameron Diaz (Carly), Leslie Man (Kate) and Kate Upton (Amber). The plot is pretty simple: a girl falls for a guy, a guy falls for a girl, …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …

Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
What Happens in Vegas
I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …

Get Smart Movie
I love Anne Hathaway, and I love Steve Carrell even more. Steve has shown so much potential through the years, his big break from Bruce Almighty made his career soar so much and I truly believe he deserves it. Anne is such a beauty and a professional actress who …
Spider man 3
I am not usually one who enjoys fiction super hero moview, or bookd for that matter. I also was not to impressed with either spider man one or two, but spider man 3 is a very exciting movie with action packed fight scenes that will keep you on the …

The story of the movie is set in the time of World War II. Four siblings …
Coyote Ugly movie

The Reaping movie
Starring: Hilary Swank (Katherine Winter), David Morrissey (Doug), Idris Elba (Ben), Anna Sophia Robb (Loren McConnell)

Katherine Winter, …
Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime
Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

This movie is about two guys who crash weddings for the parties and the girls but when one of them (Owen Wilson) falls for one of the girls at the wedding, trouble follows as he and his partner (Vince Vaughn) are invited over to spend time with the dysfunctional …
Movie Quarantine
Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)
It was believed to be good, a first person story seen through the lenses of a camera; it proved otherwise. Remakes, as usual, often do not measure up to the …
The Boy Who Could Fly (1986)
If for no other reason, you need to watch this movie on the basis that it gives or shines hope on things that one would soon lose interest in. This movie is about a family that lost a very dear family member and how they are coping with both …
The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of the scariest remake movies I’ve ever seen. The original was filmed in 1977. The author of this Horrible tale is Wes Craven. The theme is nothing supernatural but mainly of unlikely people and it’s rather gross. When I look at it, …

DNangel Episode 2 deals with Riku Hirada freaking out after she was kissed by Dark to shut her up in the last episode. Risa forms a crush on Dark, much to Daisuke’s dismay.
This episode was a lot of fun, it was also interesting because it revealed more about …
The Interpreter
I define “The Interpreter” as one of the best thriller’s of our time coming out from Hollywood. Without any doubt the director, Sydney Pollack has managed to include another successful movie to his chain of great movies, such as “Havana”, “The Firm”, “Out of Africa”, “Tootsie” and “Absence of …
Moviestar.ie

The Freedom Writers movie
I never knew this movie existed till I watched it on Fox Movies channel on cable just last night and wow, I just want to say that it is really a great movie. Cinemas nowadays are just filled with films and movies that just don’t have the depth. And …
Rush - Movie
After the extraordinary success of “Rocky” sports movies almost invariably follow the stereotypical formula, with slight variations, determined by the taste of the author. In “Rush” opportunities for freely creative imagination are relatively limited as it recreates real events related to real people .
The 70s. The phones have …
Happy Feet Movie
I love watching the Happy Feet movie with my family. Now, at first I was a little worried. My older kids aren’t really into the animated movie thing that much. I thought at first that they weren’t really going to like the Happy Feet movie. Boy …
Red Dawn (1984)
There is some controversy about this movie and the date it was released, to the effect that it was the very first movie to have a Motion Picture Association rating of PG-13 due to the excessive violence that the movie offered. Now I say to you my good viewing …

Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …
