Film After Hours
Made in the 1980’s, After Hours tells the story of one man’s nightmarish trip into the Soho area.
This is a film by Martin Scorsese that Roger Ebert deemed so intense that he considered leaving the theater and coming back later after he had pulled himself together. It seems that …

A Very Special Love starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo
Last 2008, my girlfriend asked me to take her to watch another feel-good love story starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Good. As I have posted in my previous reviews, I am a no fan of these kind of movies especially Filipino films.
The film was about Sarah Geronimo …
Betrayal movie
From 1974, Betrayal is a movie I didn’t enjoy watching and which I don’t ever want to see again. I’m actually very sorry I sat through it this one time. The thing is that the description on the DVD case indicated it was another movie called Betrayal, …

This political thriller starring Denzel Washington and Liev Schrieber is a remake of a 1962 film by the same name. Denzel Washington plays army Major Ben Marco, who served in the same platoon as now Senator Raymond Shaw, portrayed by Schrieber.
Marco, now retired from the military, often finds …
Pocahontas
I love the story of Pocahontas even in the book so when I had the chance to see the animated movie I really never missed it. I enjoyed watching it since it is a different kind of story and also it has a combination of reality and magic. I …

Without a doubt, one of the all time classic television programs was the landmark 1964 sitcom the Munsters. The program capitalized on the rise in popularity of the golden age of horror movies which were debuting on syndicated television and launching the monster boom of the late 1950’s to …

“Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox” movie
I have been enjoying the DC Animated movies. Granted, there are still a few that I need to see, but I’ve enjoyed a vast majority of them quite a bit. I hadn’t read the comic story that this entry was based on, and while I wouldn’t say …
Scrubs Season Five - My Rite Of Passage
I am a huge collector of boxed DVD television collections. I love watching old reruns of TV shows because I can watch the episodes I want when I want. Also, I do not have to worry about the commercials either. This episode from season five is …
Duplex, movie
Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore do a wonderful job in pulling off this bright comedy about a couple trying to survive their first home owner’s experience. I thought this film was playful, funny and even a bit telling in how we all sometimes fall for things that are too good …
Dead End movie (2003)
“Dead End” is one of those obscure, relatively unknown, direct-to-video horror movies that I came across on cable. I like the lead actor, Ray Wise, who once starred in the surreal TV series, “Twin Peaks.” I also like watching a suspenseful horror film from time to time. It’s just …

Mean Girls 2 Movie (2011)
I loved Mean Girls. I already knew Regina wouldn’t be here and this cast of the sequel would all be new but still, I’m a girl and I’d love to see how this 2nd Mean Girls movie would turn out. Turns out my expectations were right. This was nowhere …

Loch Ness (1996)
Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
However, as far as movies are concerned, Loch Ness falls well short of being entertaining.
Ted Danson plays a scientist who is highered to prove once and for all …
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
When I was a youngster, I was not much of a horror movie fan, so I did not see get around to seeing George Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978. It has only been since I became an adult that I have grown to appreciate the …
Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
2 Weeks Notice - 2002 Movie
2 Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant is a movie in which the two stars play the exact same characters (with different names) that they have in a multitude of other movies that I have seen. While You Were Sleeping and Bridget Jones’ Diary come to mind. …
Christmas in Wonderland
My very favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, stars in this holiday movie, “Christmas in Wonderland”. I just saw it for the first time when it aired on TV, and I have mixed feelings about it.
Patrick was great, as always. He’s heavy in the first 15 minutes of the …
Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …
The Accidental Spy (movie)
This is another Jackie Chan movie that I had watched some time recently, and possibly might have seen one time before. Even though I had heard about it, I had never really paid it much attention until very recently. It is one of his late movies too that was …
Hollywood Wives movie
I watched this movie a long time ago, not necessarily because I was actually interested in watching it but, I was waiting at a business place when it happened to be airing on television at the time, so I decied to watch it. The only thing I have to …
The Creeping Man
I am reviewing The Creeping Man, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986 by Granada television. This episode introduces Science Fiction into Sherlock Holmes. A woman hires Holmes after being terrified by some sort of monster who …
The Simpsons Movie
I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …
Girl Positive movie
I’ve honestly never sat down to watch Lifetime movies before. But, after seeing the movie Girl Positive, I think I’ll be doing that more often.
At first, I didn’t know what to think about the movie, which is meant to be an honest portrayal of how the HIV virus can …

Protect and Serve: A Thriller by Vince Flynn
Another installment in Vince Flynn’s popular Mitch Rapp series. As usual, Flynn is right up to date with his settings and back stories.
Mitch Rapp is one of the better developed characters in popular action fiction. Flynn makes the hardbitten undercover operative the kind of guy we wish worked for …
No Country For Old Men
This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …
Twenty Bucks movie
How a twenty dollar bill travels from person to person in an american town is the whole plot of this film. A very interesting idea indeed, but it isn’t put to work in the way i would have hoped for. Instead of focusing on the characters the bill is …
Pathfinder, Marcus Nispel Movie
Legend of the Savior United States National Indigenous
Hollywood films in the produce many films with genre epic. Perhaps, this is due to see the success achieved some epic film, such as the trilogy Lord of The Rings (2001-2003) original works of the New Zealand director, Peter Jackson. However, …
A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
Katha (Hindi Movie)
This is one of the better entertainers I have seen in Indian cinema. Katha, meaning ’story’, is directed by Sai Paranjpe, and she has done a fantastic job to narrate ‘Chawl’ (a big house where different people live together, and are allotted one room each - they have a …

I have been blessed to view the movie Gone with the Wind three times. Once, during an open-air film showing in our school. And twice after I graduated from college, where I felt fortunate to attend two showings of the film after the entire film was restored. …
The Cider House Rules movie
I rented this movie because of Michael Caine, and, as usual, he does a good job as Dr. Larch who runs a children’s home/hospital in Maine. One of the boys, Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire) grows up in the orphanage to be a young man and is has been trained …
Hidalgo (2004)
I tried to watch this movie so many times before and it just didn’t appeal to me in any way, shape or form, but that was until I had nothing else to watch on cable one night and it was on, so I decided to give it a try …
John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …

The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …
