Dinosaur animated movie
Dinosaur is a great animated movie. This movie came out around 2000 or so. It’s most suitable for children or young teens but I think it can also be enjoyed by adults. I certainly enjoyed it. The scenery is breath taking. The animation is so good that it almost …

The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.

Men In Black
The original Men In Black was an excellent comedic action movie and a welcome twist on the all to common genre of alien movies. The comedy throughout this movie was real comedy, not the non-stop attempts at slapstick or idiotic humor that have begun to plague comedies as of …
Beerfest movie
I think the movie Beerfest was apparently trying somehow to fit into that genre of comedy which focuses mostly on sex, drinking, goofy situations and having fun but still manages to be hilarious. However, I think in this respect Beerfest failed miserably. It was one of the worst excuses …
Ironman Movie
Ironman, new movie released on 2nd May 2008, one of best “machine” movie I ever see after Transformers. Since Ironman one of comic/superhero character, publisher need to create different story between others superhero such as spiderman,batman and superman. The difference is ironman not a super biological person but rather …
Time Traveler’s Wife movie

Scary Movie 4
I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …

“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun.

To The Devil, A Daughter (R, 1976)
I rented “To The Devil A Daughter” for two reasons: Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. I have always liked Lee’s presence in films, especially The Wicker Man (the original). He had this air about him that was both seductive and a little creepy. …
Gran Torino
I love Clint Eastwood, both as an actor and as a director in recent years. I was excited when I saw previews of Gran Torino, because it looked like classic Clint-a hard, grumpy, and sarcastic man who is mad at the world. I also knew that since he directed …

Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …
Movie Cold Case
Though there are no stars, Cold Case has an effective chemistry in its cast selection. Out of the multitude of cop shows, this show is unique in its absence of angry detectives that seem to be prevalent. Also, the use of flashbacks is well practiced and keeps …
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 …
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Following the happenings of Pitch Black, this movie continues the tale of Riddick, a criminal and killer the likes the universe is not ready for. The short stop on the dark planet that gave us an inside look of what Riddick is capable of is only a glimpse into …
The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
DIE.COM
This is not for children to view. This movie, DIE.COM is for the adult who is able to view a plot that is about living and dying, with the plot set into a mystery that keeps your attention right up there. This is not a gory movie, although, blood …
Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …
Leon movie
Jean Reno starrs as the assassin Leon in this popular film from the early 90s. What is most memorable about the cast is the energetic Natalie Portman as the little girl who comes to live with Leon when her parents are killed by the psychopath played by the always …
Autumn movie 2009
rented Autumn on a whim, thinking because there was a small role for David Carradine it might have some value. If this was his last movie, I truly feel sorry for him and his legacy. It started out with the extremely overdone and predictable premise of …
Carnage comedy movie
“Carnage” is a 2011 comedy, arthouse type film that is actually based off of a play. I saw the trailer at my local independent films theater, and it definitely looked like something that interested me. After watching it last night, I must say, I was not disappointed! It may …

The Prince and Me Movie
This is one of my favorite films, it’s one of todays classic fairytale of an ordinary girl who meets a stunning handsome prince. It’s almost like Cinderella, but in a young adult version. I always like stories about fairytales and rags-to-riches stories.

Neve Been Kissed

Filmed in Budapest …
Silent Hill (R-2006)- movie

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010 Film)
In 2010, a film starring Michael Cera came out that looked to be something extremely interesting and a movie that he will be well known for. It was called “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”. Sad to say, that this film did not really hold the wow factor that I …

Spiderman The Motion Picture
With great power comes great responsibility. With great movies comes greater ones. This is how I feel about the first Spiderman. I believe this movie moved the caliber of comic book-to-movie projects up a notch.
This movie showed that we can have great comic book movies with great characters and …
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. Mothra is a definite improvement over King Kong vs. Godzilla, although it is still not necessarily on my top ten list of favorite Godzilla movies. I find the Godzilla suit to be a definite improvement over the Godzilla suit from the previous suit because this Godzilla looks …
21st Century Breakdown

Terminator Genisys (science fiction action movie)

Master of Disguise movie
I had an opportunity to watch the film Master of Disguise the other night. I know I have seen it before but I couldn’t remember much about it. After watching it again, I can understand why.
Dana Carvey is somewhat funny as a waiter who finds out he comes from …

San Andreas - Movie (2015)
I watched San Andreas in IMAX 3D. I’m glad I made that decision because I was able to fully appreciate the visuals. The movie is a natural disaster movie and seeing it in IMAX 3D made it incredibly real. This movie isn’t only about earthquakes as many people might feel …

Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.

The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Sing, Cowboy, Sing movie
Before this week, my exposure to Tex Ritter was just knowing that he was a singing cowboy and that he was John Ritter’s father. In fact, watching him, all I could think about was John. I saw John in Tex so much that it was almost distracting. …
