City Hunter (movie)
I like watching movies starring the actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan sometimes, but I never heard of the movie City Hunter until some time recently. It was actually supposed to be based on a Japanese manga of the same name, and when I got to watch it, …
Star Trek III movie
When it comes to Star Trek movies, there are none better than Star Trek III, The Search for Spock.
Taking place shortly after the Wrath of Khan (in which Spock dies at the end) the movie starts with Spocks funeral, where he is launched on to the developing planet Genesis. …
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Repo! The Genetic Opera is destined to be a cult classic, but does it deserve to be?
I recently purchased Repo! on Dvd, because it looked interesting. I did not, however, know that is was, quite literally, an opera. The whole movie, and every single line of dialouge, is told …
Death Race (Movie)
I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …

The Movie Alice In Wonderland
As a child there were not many animated movies that I really did not like, however there were a few. At the top of the list is Alice In Wonderland. This movie really freaked me out!!! I have only seen it twice and will not watch it again.

King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
Memoirs of a geisha
If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …
Joe’s Apartment movie
When I first saw this show being aired on cable television, it was when I had come home one Friday from high school and was flipping through the channels for something fairly decent to watch. It was that time when I saw a scene with singing cockroaches and a …
Point Break
The best way to describe “Point Break” is two great young acting talents, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze team up in a movie in opposite roles with a lot of action, nail beating moments and great scenography. Apart from having a great story, the interesting aspect about this movie …
The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
I Was a Male War Bride movie
Howard Hawks directed with great success this 1949 war comedy, I Was a Male War Bride. This is a twist on the war film that hadn’t been done before that I know of, and it was a real winner.
The movie opens with two people meeting and …
The Outsiders movie
The Outsiders is a classic film based on a well-read and popular novel by S.E. Hinton. This book-turned-movie focuses on two opposite social groups, basically the haves and have-nots. Regardless of what era life is in, this movie is relevant because the two groups always exist. …
Rush Hour 2 Movie
This is my favorite rush hour movie amongst all, mainly because it’s more exciting and it features more characters like Zhang Zhiyi and Roselyn Sanchez and this movie is about Carter and Lee vacationing in Hong Kong but has to take a job which includes Alan King and Zhang …
The Patriot (movie)
Of the Mel Gibson movies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put The Patriot toward the top of the list. But, it is still a good historical fiction film to consider on a weekend when you want to feel a bit more patriotic.
The thing I like about this movie is it …
UHF movie
A complete idiot takes control of a TV station by accident and gets the opportunity to make any broadcasts he wants.

Paul Walker movie
I recently rented the movie Running Scared with Paul Walker from Blockbuster. I completely recommend this movie for almost everybody! The only people who might not like it are those who don’t like a little violence. IT is a great ‘mobster’ type of movie revolving around Paul …

The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen movie

The Reaping (R, 2007) movie
This is not your ordinary horror film. Based on some pretty heavy Biblical references, if you are not into supernatural themes, you will get really bored with this one. That being said, Hilary Swank gives a believable performance in this thriller. This isn’t the type of …
Wild Guitar movie
What initially got my attention when the 1962 film Wild Guitar began was a shot of Revue Studios, which produced my favorite show of all time, Laramie. I’d never seen the Revue building and knowing a bit about Los Angeles, this gave me an idea of where it …
Movie The Wrestler
I didn’t actually want to see the movie “The Wrestler” with my friends since I had seen it advertise about once or twice and I thought that the storyline looked like something I would not be very interested in. Also, unlike previous times, I am not interested in the …

Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …
White Chicks

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I’m not normally a Monty Python fan. I’ve seen his flying circus show and thought it was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched. But, the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is one of the better comedies I’ve seen.
Basically, the movie is set during the time …
You, Me and Dupree movie

I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …

Sherlock Holmes Movie
I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …
“The Fourth Kind” movie
Good idea, very interesting form and … cheating, which discourages the viewer. Instead of shocking the movie, we deal with this really good, but unfortunately still not perfect art.
Intriguing beginning gives us hope for a great movie. At a time when we learn that it is based on facts …
50 First Dates

A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
