Twilight Movie

Because of the very confusing first episode, I didn’t know …
Frankenweenie (movie)
Ever since I heard about the new movie coming out from one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton I knew I had to see it. Even before watching the trailer and even before knowing that the stop motion animation was a remake of one of his earliest movies, I …
Edge of Tomorrow (movie)
It took me three tries to watch this movie. I gave up on it the first two times because I was tired and irritated and didn’t have the patience to wait for it to get to the point. On the third time however, when I wasn’t feeling so tired I …
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is a very good movie from the year 1989. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and liking it a lot. This movie is filled with magic and romance. All the good stuff that makes you think life is great as a kid. The music in …
Borderland
Borderland is one of the most convoluted horror movies that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of horror movies over the years. I bought the movie because it was part of the After Dark Horror Fest and I loved most of the movies that they released in …
Gone with the Wind movie
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. …
Runaway Bride
Runaway Bride is a romantic comedy movie starring the lead actors of super hit movie, Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Pretty Woman is a great movie and I love it like anything. That is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it …

The Town Went Wild movie
The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …

School for Scoundrels (2006) is a comedy directed by Todd Phillips and is rated PG-13 for language, crude and sexual content, and some violence.

The Three Stooges Movie 2012
I am what you might call a true blue stooge fan, I can remember back in the day when I used to run home from school just so I could catch the latest episode of The Three Stooges. Sometimes me and my friends would watch it together, …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
Let The Right One In - (starring Lina Leandersson)
Let The Right One In is a superb watch. For horror fans out there, be sure to catch this one. I’m not kidding. The story is about a little boy named Oscar and it seems like he has a harmless imaginary friend pretty much real to him …
Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
After the Sunset (2004)
This is the case of three flawless diamonds known as the Napoleon Diamonds and a pair of master jewel thieves. As the story goes, they two have managed to steal the first two diamonds, sold them and are now resting comfortably on Paradise Island in the Bahamas supposedly retired. …

50/50 (movie)
There were several movies that had a great emotional impact on me this year and one of them was the movie 50/50. I knew that it would either be a tearjerker or one of those movies that made you meditate on the direction in which your life was going …
CHICKEN LITTLE DVD
My grandson just HAD to see Chicken Little on DVD. We rented it for him, but the entire family enjoyed this DVD immensely! Yes, it does start with the acorn hitting Chicken Little on the head, and he ran to the tower to ring the alarm bell for emergencies …
Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
State of Play movie
I was expecting State of Play to follow a common story line for movies about political intrigue, but I was riveted to the screen for most of this movie. While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final one near the end was unexpected. I also dislike the …
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …
Movie Stranger than Fiction
Had a chance to watch “Stranger than fiction”, a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, …
Red Eye (2005 movie)
This is a pretty straight forward thriller, meanie that is not very hard to follow and, it is a reasonable good movie. It’s about a woman who is befriended at the airport and later held captive on a flight heading to Florida. She is instructed by her captor to …
Glory Road Movie
I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Movie
I have been a fan of Peter Jackson’s movies ever since the first “Lord of the Rings” movie came out - “The Fellowship of the ring”. And I think that with “The Hobbit” trilogy that he is now making I was again able to return to the amazing fantasy …
Night and the City Movie
I had some free time this weekend while hanging out with my youngest daughter (it was raining out or I would have taken her outside instead). While taking care of her, I ended up watching a movie from the 1950s, Night and the City.
I had heard of this movie …
Sin City
Sin City the movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez and is based on hot comic novels by Frank Miller. Rodriguez brings to life the work of Miller and is not like any movie I have ever seen. The cinematography is brilliant and artistic. Most of the movie is shot …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
With the release of the Transformers on the year 2007, many fans anticipated the sequel of the famed Transformers. I was one of them. The first movie captured my interest (although I’m already a fan of the old school Transformers cartoons) because of the plot, action scenes, and most specially …
Karate Kid 2010 Movie
Karate Kid 2010 is a very good martial arts movie. I like it but not as much as I loved the Original Karate Kid. I mean Jackie Chan is great but I will always love Mr. Miyagi. The movie is a little different than the Karate Kid. This time the …
Movie Rock On
I watched this movie last Saturday and decided to share out with you. It’s a story about four friends and their own music band, MAGIC. And then how differences start arising between them after they win a music event and how they again reunite to create MAGIC.
I found the …
Bridget Jones Diary
Renee Zellwenger had to increase about 25 lbs. in order to interpret the role of Bridget Jones. Even though she felt a lot chubby, her sacrifices were all worth it in the end. “Bridget Jones Diary” was a smashing hit and definitely her most successful movie!
So why “Bridget Jones …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete First Season
The first season of Beast Wars: Transformers is my second favorite season of the three season series. I like the blend of action, comedy, and the story arcs that the writers began to build and develop in this season that would carry over into the following seasons. The DVD …
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …
How to deal movie
In “How to deal” we see the actress, Mandy Moore with her hair cut short. Actually this wasn’t planned to happen but Moore felt that here hair cut fitted her role and decided to go for it without informing the movie producers. Although not very happy with the hair …
Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
Inception Movie (2010)
The last movie I saw was Inception (2010). It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levit (Arthur), Ellen Page (Ariadne),Tom Hardy (Eames),Ken Watanabe(Saito) Dileep Rao (Yusuf) and Cillian Murphy (Robert Fischer, Jr.). This is by-far the best mind bending movie I have seen in a long time.
I think …

Return of the King movie
I am reviewing the last installment of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings series, The Return of the King, which was released around 2003. This is by far my favorite in the series. This movie focuses on Frodo’s continuous battle with the ring’s power on him, the power of …
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).
The scenario is unique, with sudden turns, heart-stopping moments and keeping me on my heels wanting more. The film is well budgeted with amazing …
Sweet Sixteen movie
A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …

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 …
Coneheads movie
For years, I vaguely remembered watching a movie called “Coneheads”: with my cousin whose parents had rented the video in either nineteen ninety two or nineteen ninety three. However, I also remembered that since I was about four or five at the time I watched it, most of my …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
