Manhunter movie
Michael Mann’s depiction of the story Red Dragon with Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter. This film was actually made before The Silent of the Lambs, the second film from the same novel series. Manhunter is made in a completely different style, very close to that colorful look of the …
Punisher: War Zone, comic book action film by Lexi Alexander
Marvel has a lot of memorable characters. One of those characters that everybody knows is the Punisher. It may seem like an easy task to make a movie based around this character, but two prier films have shown that this character is better on paper that on the big …
Red (2010 movie)
Red is an 2010 action, comedy and crime movie starring one of my favourite actors Morgan Freeman. The movie was directed by Robert Schwentke. I am not a fan of action and crime movies, but I truly love the combination of action and crime with comedy. I watched the …
The Avengers (2012 movie)
The Avengers was, to put it lightly, absolutely epic. I’ve never been that interested in superhero movies, games, or comics, but this action film was incredible. The way the action blended perfectly with the story line meant that I was captivated for the entire time, even though it’s a …
Death Race (2008)
Death Race is an awesome action/racing movie, this movie contain a high level of blood and gore and tons of crazy explosions, and of course, intense races.
The plot sets in US, 2012 where the economy gone horribly down. Jensen Ames (Jason Stratham) a recently unemployed steel worker and …
Mr. Brooks
And to think, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to see this movie! WOW! o.k., this is an absolute must see movie! It blew me away! Mr. Brooks is staring Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, Dane Cook, and William Hurt. Not only is the acting phenomenal, but the storyline is …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …
Home of the brave movie
The story about four American armies on duty in Iraq. Cutoff from the last period of their duty to brought medical equipment to one of village in Iraq was followed by many tragic cases. Mental conflict experienced after returns to US is not easy to be passed. It is …
I, Robot
This movie is about the future, where there are robots. Will Smith is the main character in the movie. I think he does an amazing job in the movie and wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t in it. I really enjoyed watching the movie and it kept …
Adaptation-movie
The much acclaimed american screenwriter Charlie Kaufman here works together with the former music video director Spike Jonze for the second time. It’s a very complicated story in the centre of which Kaufman himself appears (and his evil twin brother!), played brilliantly by Nicholas Cage. He tries to write …
Movie Overnight Delivery
“Overnight Delivery” is an incredible, hilarious movie where you won’t stop laughing from the beginning till the end. The main actors in this movie, Paul Rudd and Reese Whiterspoon are at their best.
The story of this movie is about Wyatt Trips (Rudd) who is so in love with his …
Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
The Day After Tomorrow
The Day After Tomorrow is a film that combines Science Fiction, Drama, Action and Thriller. It presents a lot of disaster and destruction in America, and as a consequence, in the rest of the world.
Compared to other Emmerich’s films, like Independence Day and other cathastrophic films, this movie the …
The Canterville Ghost (movie)
I’ve always been fairly fascinated with the actress Neve Campbell, especially after I saw her in movies such as the “Scream” franchise and “The Craft”. She seemed to be a familiar face in the late nineties to the early 2000s, and I know believe some of that had to …
The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
Scary Movie 4
It was weekend when my uncle bought something for us to watch because we tend to watch movies every weekend. He bought the Scary Movie 4 which was about the twisted combinations of the movie “grudge” , ” war of worlds” and ” saw 2″
We have found the movie …
Movie: A Christmas Story
My wife and I ended up wrapping Christmas gifts at the very last second late last night while the kids were asleep. Since we were getting tired and needed something to keep us awake until the work was done, we decided to put on the Christmas classic A Christmas …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …
Push movie
I watched the movie Push last weekend with some friends. I really liked the movie. It was much better than I was expecting. Dakota Fanning is such an amazing actress. She was an amazing child actress and I think she may be an even better adult actress. She is …
Cape Fear
This movie was directed by Martin Scorsese and released in 1991, starring Robert De Niro as Max Cady, this is a remake of the 1962 film, adapted from a John D McDonald novel. Cady is a man who was convicted of rape, 14 years later he is out, and …
Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …
Roger & me
This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
Jarhead
Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …
Vampire in Brooklyn Movie
When I saw that it was an Eddie Murphy movie, I expected good comedy, perhaps something like Mel Brooks’ “Dracula: Dead and Loving It” with Leslie Nielsen, a funny twist of a classic. Well, I was wrong. Apparently, the creators of “Vampire in Brooklyn” meant it to be for …
Bolt animated film
The latest CG animated film from Disney Studios features John Travolta as the voice of Bolt, an adorable dog that thinks he has super powers. Bolt is the star of a television show with his owner Penny, whom he protects at all costs, using his abilities to thwart the nefarious …
Igor (movie)
One of the animated movies that I was fortunate to watch earlier on this year was the movie “Igor”. To tell you the truth, I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it whenever it was first released not only because the trailer just didn’t interest me, but because …
Limitless (2011) Movie
If I had to describe limitless in one word, I would describe it as intelligent. Normally when we get a movie that isn’t either a comedy or a horror movie, nine times out of ten, I’m not that into it.
Limitless is an awesome Sci-Fi thriller about a writer …
Room (2015 Film)
Personally, I consider a film to be great if it had any impact towards me after watching it. These films are very rare. I love films when I see them simply because I don’t have time for bad movies. I look for recommendations, I look for ratings and I look …
The Glass House,2001 movie
A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …
Under the Mistletoe movie
“Under the Mistletoe” is a nice, holiday movie and makes for a warm family event on any holiday, or for that matter non-holiday evening.
The film stars Michael Shanks as Kevin Harrison, a teacher and hockey coach. Michael is best known for his role as ‘Daniel Jackson’ in “Stargate …
Madea’s Family Reunion (2006)
This is the story of a family divided that must work through the hard times and find their way back to each other for strength and support as only a good family can offer. This movie revolves around many different characters and the struggles that they are faced with …
Movie Avatar
I entered the theaters filled with much anticipation for this movie. I heard it has earned millions of dollars because it is such a hit across the globe. I wanted to prove for myself that seeing Avatar will be so worth my money, especially that I opted to watch …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D
The prequel Star Wars movies are some of the most hated pieces of fiction in the entire universe known to man. Do they deserve that hate? No. I must say, I never hated the prequels as much as everyone else. Keep in mind, this movie originally came out 2 …
The Accidental Husband (Movie)
When Uma Thurman was interviewed after doing this movie she actually told the reporter that this movie’s main plot has actually happened before and I was surprised and intrigued that someone can be married already but accidentally and it’s really terrible to be in that situation especially when you …
Nacho Libre (2006 Film)
Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …
James Bond Casino Royale Movie
The movie James Bond Casino Royale is the best Bond movie I have seen. The action is amazing, but it also has an engaging, exciting plot. The action is shot and acted in a way that you really feel scared for the characters. It is never …
Sleuth
Sleuth is a mystery, thriller and suspense type movie about Andrew. Andrew is a mystery writer with a wild imagination. I think it is quite amusing that the main character of the movie that is a mystery type film will have the main character as a mystery writer. Sometimes …
The Patriot
I had hear do the movie The Patriot for a long time, but I never got a chance to watch it until years after since I did not see it being aired on cable televsion as well as I had the impression by the title of the movie that …
Liar,Liar movie
In my opinion, this is Jim Carrey’s best movie. This is one that never fails to crack me up. When Jim Carrey’s character who is a workaholic lawyer is forced to tell the truth for a whole day after his son makes a birthday wish that his …
Movie of Salt
Hollywood hottie Angelina Jolie action thriller once again jumping from a height, a hail of bullets to get out and action is seen. After watching the film may explain why the roll of 007 Lady Jolie wants to play.
In fact, the story of salt in mind was written before …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
Ocean’s Eleven Movie
A new version of the 1960 version with Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, which I honestly haven’t been able to find myself. The new version is directed by Steven Soderburgh, a praised director most known for his films Traffic and Erin Brockowich. Personally I think this director is …
The Night Listener
I’m not really sure why but whenever Robin Williams is in a drama, I just can’t take him seriously. The Night Listener was the perfect example of this.
I made a serious effort to watch this movie last night and, though I tried, I just couldn�t get into it. It …
Canterbury Tales movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s adaptation of the classic novel by Geoffrey Chaucer about pilgrims who tell their dirty stories to each other.
This was made in a time where Pasolini was constantly taking new turns in his filmmaking and in my opinion getting further away from his original genius in his …

Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors Movie
I would not necessarily call myself a die hard slasher movie fanatic, but it is safe to say I love me some Freddy Kreuger. Of all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies I have seen, and believe me I have seen them at least three lifetimes over, I would have …
