Movie Dead Birds
My cousin brought this movie by for me to watch the other day because she has been borrowing a lot of mine. I just watched it a couple of hours ago. It was a pretty good movie all around. I think it could have been better but overall it …
She’s The Man comedy
This is one of my favorite comedies. There are a lot of funny parts in it. It is more of a girls movie but I know a couple of guys who enjoyed the movie. It was a great comedy movie. There are a couple of parts where Amanda Bynes …

Tokyo Story (1953 film) from Criterion Collection
I need to recover from watching too many Audrey Hepburn movies and TCM over cable television. I wondered why this film always made it to everyone’s list of favorite movies. In an effort to change my film source, I looked at some hard to find copies of …
The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA DVD
Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA DVD is a collection of shorts of Fullmetal Alchemist characters based off events during and after the first anime series and has nothing to do with the new Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series.
This DVD is something that any Fullmetal Alchemist fan should have in …
Cromartie High School, Anime series
Cromartie High School is no ordinary school. It’s a school for delinquents. The most important subject is “fighting” and their biggest concern is “who the biggest badass is?” Everything they talk about is completely random and has nothing to do with school. You could say this anime is pointless, …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
For a Twilight fan like myself, wating for New Moon to be released in the theaters felt like such a long wait. I wanted to watch the sneak preview, but I couldn’t get any ticket, and it was next to impossible too on November 20, 2009, the official …
Tesla - Comin’ Atcha Live! 2008 DVD
I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …
The Love Guru
I’ve always liked Mike Myers as a comedian. However, some of his movies haven’t been anywhere near as good as his earlier films like Wayne’s World and Austin Powers Man of Mystery. So, when his movie The Love Guru came out, I ended up believing the critics when they …
Notorious movie
From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.
Filmed in black and white, Notorious stars Cary Grant as T.R. …
Once Upon a Time in the West Movie
Sergio Leone was a filmmaker who loved western films above anything, and his dollar trilogy is one of the most powerful love letters ever written in cinema history. With Once Upon a Time in the West he continued on that same line, but developed his visual style to the …
The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …
Godzilla Raids Again
Godzilla Raids Again is the second movie released just a couple of years after the first Godzilla movie. Still shot in black and white, the story follows the emergence of a second Godzilla as well as a new monster that has a spiked back, horns and sharp teeth. Not …
Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …
Robots Movie
Clever, original, funny and it has a decent plot. It’s very easy to like this movie whether you are young or young at heart. A classic for future generations. The first time i saw this movie was as an inflight movie on British Airways…maybe I was tired, because I …
Velvet Revolver live in houston DVD
I bought the Velvet Revolver dvd live in Houston at FYI and that band totally rocked that show which was filmed in 2004 in some large theater. The band seemed like they were really tight that night and had a great time jamming. I particularly enjoyed watching Slash play …
The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)
One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …
Forever Mine movie
I remember that I watched the movie Forever Mine starring Joseph Fiennes, Gretchen Mol and Ray Liotta in the lead roles an year ago on cable. Forever mine is a drama and has some gripping moments which are really interesting to watch. It is a good movie, though …

Bruce Almighty (played by Jim Carrey) is about a man who wants to prove to the world that he is the best ever. Bruce wants to be an anchorman on a television station, but is passed up by someone else. Bruce’s girlfriend is supportive and totally in love with …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …
Mystic River
Clint Eastwood first gained directorial praise with Unforgiven, which was a movie I loved. So as you can imagine, I was very excited for Mystic River. And after watching it, I was not disappointed. Clint Eastwood delivers again and does an even better job than he …
Last House on the Left movie
My wife and I finally got a chance to watch the movie The Last House on the Left yesterday afternoon. We had the movie a while and were waiting for the right time to watch it. But, as it turns out, there really wasn’t one because it wasn’t as …
The Running Man Movie
In this rather depressing portrayal of the future, America appears to have lost all its freedoms and turned into a totalitarian society. One of the cruel, government-run entertainments is “The Running Man” show, where convicted criminals are given a chance to run for freedom - but they will be …
Hush movie
The movie Hush starring Jessica Lange and Gwyneth Paltrow in the main roles is a good movie in the genre of drama with an underlying thriller element. The movie though is good has a predictable story and the pace of the movie is a bit slow. But nevertheless it …
Desperate Hours Original (1955) Starring Humphrey Bogart
The 1955 version of “Desperate Hours” features a 112 minute adaptation of Joseph Hayes’ novel and play of the same name. The movie is a film noir classic at a time when color movies were beginning to gain more popularity and the noir audience was eroding. Television was becoming …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is a feel good movie that never fails to bring on smiles and feelings of delight. It’s the theatrical movie that set Patrick Swayze’s stardom on fire and gave us the line, “No one puts Baby in a corner”.
Frankly, I’ve never liked that line and I …
Movie: Planet 51
I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …
The Dark Knight Rises
Read on at the risk of spoilers.
For those of you who believed that ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ would be strong competition for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ I’m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. The other two films were good, but this was on a whole …
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …
Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic. This movie is 3D. You are given 3D glasses upon purchasing your ticket. As for the movie, it was quite good. The 3D effects are used well. I believe that they could’ve been used even more than they were, but …
The Number 23 movie
A lot of people don’t like Jim Carrey’s comedy and, when he first hit Hollywood, people didn’t think much of him. However, his movie, The Number 23, shows a range of acting skill that might surprise a lot of people.
Carrey plays an animal control worker who is given a …
Take the Lead-Antonio Banderas
I went to this movie last night with my friends. I think it was worth seeing, but perhaps just a rental. It was pleasant, with some funny scenes, and the way the scene moved back and forth with the dancing and the music, especially at the beginning, was great.
The …

Limitless (2011) Movie
If I had to describe limitless in one word, I would describe it as intelligent. Normally when we get a movie that isn’t either a comedy or a horror movie, nine times out of ten, I’m not that into it.
Limitless is an awesome Sci-Fi thriller about a writer …

Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …

The Back Up Plan 2010 movie

Four Brothers Mark Wahlberg
This is one of my favoite movies. I have always been a fan of Mark Wahlberg and he did an excellent job in this film. His tough exterior and gritty attitude was just what this movie needed. He and his other three brothers are on a mission to find …
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016 Adventure Comedy-Drama Film)
Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …
Dawn of the Dead Movie(2004)
Once again another bad horror movie is made…and a corpse turns in its grave. Directors and actors please give note to this…stop making horror films as you know not what you are doing. You all lack the vision in what it takes to make a decent horror flick. If …
