This movie is entirely and totally hilarious! It features real-life brothers Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, Jennifer Carpenter, Busy Philipps, John Heard, Terry Crews, Brittany Daniel, Jessica Cauffiel, Eddie Velez, Maitland Ward, and Anne Dudek. The whole cast is crazy and when you …
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 …
Rowan Atkinson
I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …
Moving Movie

The Proposal (2009 movie)
I watched The Proposal in June 2009 with a couple of friends. Although it was not the movie I originally intended on watching, it was quite interesting and enjoyable. As a romantic comedy, I think that it was nearly flawless; the dull moments in the movie were far outweighed …
A Dog’s Breakfast movie
A Dog’s Breakfast surprised me a great deal because while it was as warped as I suspected it was, but it was also somewhat enjoyable. I didn’t like some of the more graphic parts and the innuendo that resulted, but as a whole, it was oddly enjoyable.
I’m not …
Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
Untraceable Movie
I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …

Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
The Holiday movie
My wife and I watched a great film the other night. It was a film that is written, produced and directed by Nancy Meyers and it had four very well known actors. The film was called the holiday and it starred Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Jack …
Thirteen Ghosts
The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …
Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …
Fast and Furious Movie
I was really excited when this movie came out, it features the whole original team from the first movie and I was so excited that I watched this on the first day it showed. However it was all hype and the excitement was done just when Michelle Rodriguez died …

Germany Year Zero
Legendary filmmaker Roberto Rossellini, one of the leading men of the neorealist movement in post-war Italy, completed around 40-50 films during his career. Sadly, only few of these are available to a modern audience, most have been lost or badly damaged during the years. Germany Year Zero is probably …
Live Flesh movie
Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …
The Grind
The Grind is a work out video. It is fifty minutes long, and it includes a warm up, cardio, then a cool down. I like the grind in a way, as I love to dance, and this video teaches you a new dance routine. But the grinds dance moves …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Who doesn’t love this holiday classic? Unlike so many Christmas movies and specials, this one remains as timeless as ever. Anyone of any generation can instantly get interested in the tale of Rudolph, the poor reindeer who is different from the rest and is thus outcast.
The Claymation …
Robots movie
I first saw Robots when it came out at the theater and instantly fell in love with it. You can’t go wrong when Robin Williams voices one of the main characters, especially when you back it up with lots of color and a unique plot.
The movie takes place on …
Serving Sara (movie)
“Serving Sara” is the movie where Liz Hurley and Matthew Perry interpret crazy roles. It is a true pity that this movie failed to impress the critics and went straight to video! I must also add that this movie is also the worst movie for Perry who had successful …

The Book of Eli
As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.
It’s hard to believe that’s Donald Sutherland in the starring role of Matthew Bennell and I was impressed with the …
The Dark Knight Rises
Read on at the risk of spoilers.
For those of you who believed that ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ would be strong competition for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ I’m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. The other two films were good, but this was on a whole …
An American Werewolf in London movie
American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …

Tangled 3D Movie
I’m a big fan of Disney animated movies, even the ones that are about the so-called Disney Princesses. So when I saw the trailed for Tangled, Disney’s 50th animated film, then you can just imagine how excited I was. After watching the movie in 3D recently, all I can …
Sin City (2005)
The 2005 film, Sin City, is based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller who also co-directed along with Robert Rodriguez. I can imagine that anyone who is a fan of such graphic novels will appreciate this film a lot more than I did, although I did find …

Conan the Destroyer
When it comes to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Conan the Destroyer is always the first one that comes to mind.
A sequel to Conan the Barbarian, this one is a bit more kid friendly but still has plenty of action and interesting monsters to keep everyone entertained.
In the movie, Conan is …
Ghost World comedy
Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …
Evolution Movie
Science Fiction comedy in the same category as Ghostbusters for example. A meteorite hits the earth and brings with it a strange new form of life that threatens to take over the planet, or does it?
There’s not much to say about this. If you liked Ghostbusters, Men in Black …
The Shining (1980 Psychological Horror Film)
Horror is the one genre I try to avoid the most. Ever since I was young I always tell myself never to watch a horror film because all it does to me is scare me. And I don’t want to be scared. I don’t want to have trouble sleeping at …
