Smokin Aces, Joe Carnahan Movie
Reason Alicia Keys received the role in this movie is because he does not have to typecasting become a musician, pianist etc., but the characters are far from day-to-day, a homicide charge, some of the homicide charge each other scramble to get life Buddy “Aces” Israel (Jeremy Piven), a …

Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
Ok so I rented another Hellraiser hoping that it would be somewhat related to what the original movie was about. Unfortunately it wasn’t, but oddly enough it did keep my interest enough to not fast forward through.
The plot centers around Chelsea, Mike, Allison, and Derrick who …

The Odyssey movie
An adaptation of the classic story by Homeros about the adventurer Odysseus who goes on a journey and experiences all kinds of dangers before he can finally return home.
This is the kind of adventure production that is often showed on the channel of Hallmark. That is, low budget films …
Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
Uncle Buck (1989) movie
Directed by John Hughes, and starring John Candy, this was one of the best movies of the 80s. Uncle Buck was a funny, charming and sometimes witty comedy. It was in the middle of a long string of John Hughes movies that were good and also …
American Sniper, movie
This movie has gotten a lot of buzz for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons are legit and others are a bit frivolous.
For some reason, people have turned the movie into a political pawn. Fox News talks about it all the time and …
The Mist movie
I can quite honestly say that “The Mist” was the best horror film I have seen all year.
The acting was spectacular, the casting was great and the script was magical. I was actually quite surprised because in my opinion the horror industry has been lacking in the last …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …
Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …
Nagesh Kukunoor

Rod Zombie’s New Halloween Movie
I have an affinity for scary movies and am especially fond of the Halloween story. Having grown up watching this series, I was intrigued to learn that Rod Zombie had taken over where John Carpenter and Moustafa Akkad had left off. Being a huge fan of “The …
Grown Ups Movie
Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Good Morning Vietnam Movie
A disc jockey has a very popular radio show in the Vietnam War. Popular because he doesn’t care about the rules, he just performs his own show the way he wants it. The film is said to be based on real events, although Robin Williams improvises very much as …

There will be blood
‘There will be blood’ is a good English movie. But it is also rather sad to watch this movie because the movie shows the exploitation of the lower class. Directed by Paul Thomas, the movie is a grim one. The main actor has performed well. It is not possible …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …

The Good Mother (movie)
One of my guilty pleasures is watching some of the more modern Lifetime movies, especially if I think that they have fairly interesting plots and fairly tolerable acting. These can be a little hard to find especially in a sea of low budget movies that Lifetime seems to bring. …

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie
The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …
The Maid - A Horror Movie
I have seen the DVD and CD of the movie The Maid when I was in the Philippines, but I did not pay attention to it. It didn’t make big on screen. Because I have never heard any news or promotional tour about the movie.

Analyze This (1998), movie
American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …

Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
As the second installment in one of my favorite trilogies, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is an exciting movie that everyone will love. The cast is one of my favorite. For starters, Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow. He is on a search to find the …

Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.
In “Love Wrecked” we see Amanda Bynes interpret the role of Jenny Riley who is totally crazy about a famous and popular rock star, Jason Master. …

Save the Green Planet, South Korean film
Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …
The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …
Ginger Snaps movie
I first watched Ginger Snaps in 2005 due to recommendations on IMDb. It is a movie about two sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, who are going through changes, one symbolic and one quite literally. The plot focuses heavily on sisterhood, growing apart, changing, and love, as well as losing yourself …

If you enjoy watching a movie that makes you really think were the story is going, then you must watch Robert De Niro’s movie “The Good Shepard”. I knew that this movie was about the CIA, however for the first half an hour I was completely lost on what …
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 …

In ‘Apocalypto’, again, Mel Gibson chose to drive in the foreign language film, after ‘The Passion of the Christ’ (2004). This time located in the rural South America, precisely at the end of an era of Maya civilization tribe.

Flood! movie
The seventies were big on disaster films, and Flood! was right smack in the middle of it. Obviously, the natural disaster at the heart of this movie is a flood, made possible by a lot of rain and an official who refuses to open the dam gates.
Flood! is …
Back to the Future Part 2
Sequels usually flop, unable to capture the magic of the original. Rare cases include Superman II and The Empire Strikes Back. Back to the Future Part 2 joins that rare class, mainly because it is told partly from within the first movie. The filmmakers incorporated scenes from the first …
