Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
Movie Pretty in Pink
I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …

3000 Miles to Graceland movie
To be honest I am not that big of a action/adventure movie. Being a female I am all about comedy and chick flicks. However, I am a huge Elvis fan and since I had nothing else to do a friend of mine and I went and saw this movie. …

Hollywood Ending, the movie (2002)
Can a suddenly blind director make a movie? This problem is the basis of the plot of Woody Allen’s film. It offers many attacks on Hollywood and its stampeded products. However, it was interesting to observe the creator who finds himself in a critical situation. How will he behave? How …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …

Bringing Down The House (2003)
Queen Latifah and funny man Steve Martin come together to try and bring the house down for their viewing audience and guess what? They did a wonderful job, I have no complaints about this movie for two very important reasons 1. it stars very believable characters and 2. it …
Venture Bros Volume One DVD
I don’t know how I went so long without hearing about the Venture Bros. Truthfully, it is one of the best cartoon shows I have ever seen. And I do mean ever. It certainly outshadows anything and everything else seen on Adult Swim (not …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie
OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …
Cinderella Story DVD

Titanic Movie (1997)
It was 1997. I was in college when my friends and family were hyped up about this movie Titanic. This stars Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) and Kate Winslet (Rose). This was the film that rose Dicaprio and James Cameron to stardom.
This film was about a poor boy …
Over at the Hedge: movie

The Orphan (2009)
What to say about this movie? I liked the concept. It was like watching “The Bad Seed” or “The Good Son” all together. But this movie started off with a really gruesome childbirthing nightmare. Once we realize that Vera Farmiga’s character is just dreaming, the …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …
Wicker Park movie
Wicker Park is a very good remake of a French movie that was extremely successful. But as we already know that Americans can not help until they have a copy which does not upset us, and it would be wise to enjoy this movie romantic, exciting and …
28 Weeks Later The Movie
Another zombie movie that has its mind boggling puzzle on how it started because nobody explained what really happened as the movie started when the virus has been contained and has spread through out the land.
I just don’t understand why they needed to repopulate when in fact nothing in …
Catch & Release DVD
I have just watched Catch & Release, a new romantic comedy movie starring my favorite actress Jennifer Garner. This story is pretty funny, but it gets boring, with the normal flavor formula being repeated over and over again. I tried to make myself love the movie, but …
Cujo
If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …
Nightmare on Elm Street the remake (2010 Film)
While I never saw the original movie of Nightmare on Elm Street, I have to say that the remake was for the most part enjoyable in the realm of horror movies. This film also made me want to watch the original film so that I would have something to …
As Good As It Gets movie
I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …

Final Destination 5 (movie)
Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …
Big Trouble In Little China
The eighties are definitely gone and not coming back, but some movie magic we got from that decade will live on forever. Among many classic movies that the eighties gave us was Big Trouble In Little China, an instant classic. Coming out in eighty-six, Big Trouble in Little China …
Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
I enjoyed watching this movie directed by John Moore and shown in 2001 and has a runtime of 106 minutes. I find Owen Wilson cute. He plays the role of a combat aviator Lt. Chris Burnett. A soldier by profession but one who does not want to …
Cerberus (2005) movie
This is another one of those creepy animal movies, this time being based on ancient Greek mythology. If you’re familiar at all with mythology, then you should know that Cerberus is the three-headed dog that belongs to Hades, God of the Underworld (land of the dead, afterlife). His dog …

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 …
X-Men Origins Wolverine
I was eagerly looking forward to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After watching it, I have mixed feelings. Oh, it was exciting, and visually spectacular, and the characters were all really interesting. It was nice to see so many new mutants with so many new powers. I liked that …

Resident Evil 4: Afterlife
Resident Evil 4: Afterlife was a very wonderful surprise for a lover of the video series like myself. The movie promised to be better then Extinction, but I didn’t believe that. I thought it would be another long, drawn out movie …
The Virgin Suicides
Have you watched The Virgin Suicides before..? This is one of those earlier movie appearances by Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett. But if you don’t like deep moving movie stories with emotions, then this story might not be suitable for you.
This is a movie which is …
A Raisin In The Sun (movie)
A Raisin In The Sun is a movie about a family living together in close quarters and working hard to keep their lives afloat. Sidney Poitier, one of my favorite actors, is Walter Lee. Sidney Poitier does a wonderful performance as the young man who is a husband, father …
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a blood and guts horror film about a group of kids being chased around by a chainsaw wielding, crazy man. There is a plot, yes, but it is thin and not the reason why you should watch this movie. I also want to be …
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is the definition of “Chick Flick.” …
