Freaky Friday movie
Upon seeing the trailer of Freaky Friday I was already laughing my head off so I decided that I would watch the movie. I’m sure glad I did because the movie was worth every penny. I can’t remember the last time I laughed this hard. Freaky Friday is a …

The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …

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 …
Sex And The City- The Movie (2008)
After all the long anticipation into the final story of the super sucessful show Sex And The City and all the years of talk into making the movie- the final result was more than disappointing.
The show Sex and the City was a real hit. It showed the life of real …
Meet the Robinsons
Lately, when I’ve seen a Disney cartoon, I’ve been very disappointed in it. It seems Disney makes an effort to make a children’s cartoon but, in the interest of attracting an older crowd, always tries to make the cartoon more adult. The end result is nobody really enjoys it.
Meet …
Identity
You want a weird movie? Watch Identity. Talk about a movie that will make you think! The cast is full of actors you already know such as John Cusak (Ed), Rebecca DeMornay (Caroline) and Ray Liotta (Rhodes). Everyone in the movie, all the characters, are out in the desert. …
Running Scared
I don’t really like the movie, Running Scared. It is too much filled with violence and certainly not suitable for kids to watch at all.
The movie is about the character Paul Walker (and he’s looking really handsome in this movie) trying to race with time to get …
Clash of the Titans Movie

Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.
The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of …

Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …

Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side
Several months ago, we watched the Family Guy movie Blue Harvest and thought it was one of the funniest Star Wars spoofs ever made. So, when we found out about the sequel, Something, Something, Something Dark Side, I couldn’t wait to watch it and moved it to the top …

Final Destination 1 movie
This movie doesn’t really make much effort in building on the original, save for making the death sequences even more gruesome than its predecessor.
We open up on a new bunch of protagonists, this time lead by precognitive Kimberly who halts a stream of traffic after having a vision of …

The Expendables movie
“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop
A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …
Miss Congeniality Movie
I loved this movie. Sandra Bullock plays Gracie Hart, a dedicated FBI agent to whom her job is everything and her appearance is not that important. Supposedly, she is unattractive, and her male co-workers don’t even notice her as a female (I am saying “supposedly” because, to me, Sandra …
The Wedding Date movie
When I rented the Wedding Date with my wife, I thought it was going to be just another chick flick with a sappy plot. However, I found it was actually a very funny and entertaining movie.

Dracula 2000 movie
The only disadvantage about this movie which I remember is that I thought the movie should have been a little longer. A part from that it is one of my favorite vampire movies. The movie has no old, or middle aged man playing the role of Count Dracula and …
Princess Diaries 2 Movie
This is the sequal to the Princess Diaries movie and I think it is better than the first one. I definitely saw a bit of a transition between the first one and the second one. This one has a bit more scandalous activity and romance. I am not sure …
DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?
Trying to cash in on Mel’s tremendous success in BRAVEHEART, Roland (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW among other travesties) Emmerlich cast Mel in a really badly written American Revolution historical picture.

Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].

Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.

Yuva meaning youth. The movie Yuva is based on politics and youth. It depicts the role of politics in a youth’s life. The film is directed by Mani Ratnam, one of the best directors in India. I went to watch this film first day first show (Lol). I liked …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
My Best Friend’s Girl from 2008 is a disaster. The only reason I watched this thing was because I noticed a listing in the credits for Patrick Swayze that referred to this movie. He was given ’special thanks’ along with a few other performers. I knew …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, movie
How did Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth movie franchise fall so far from the heights reached with his original Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Before the first instalment of the Hobbit films had even been released in 2012 the naysayers were already quite vocal about the proposition of taking a small …
30 Days of Night Movie
Yesterday, I bought the movie ‘30 Days of Night’. I had wanted to see it since it came out in the theaters but hadn’t because I wasn’t sure it’d be worth it. So I decided I’d wait until it was out on DVD and buy it.
I like Josh Harnett. …

Junebug (R, 2005) movie
Junebug is the kind of film that I really wanted to like. Centering around the son from a middle class family and his wife, this story unfolds easily and doesn’t really require much thought. I was actually disappointed with how dull this movie was. …
Surf’s Up
I brought my little cousin less than 4 years old to watch Surf Up the other night, and she really enjoyed the penguin sightings. She really thought that penguins could sing, talk and dance, and she wanted to go to the zoo to talk to the penguins. …
300
First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …
The movie Why Did I Get Married
I like Tyler Perry’s plays and his movies. This one was no different. THis movie is about what can happen to a relationship when it is not built on the right things. IT shows what can happen when couples start to take each other for granite and start to …

Tim Burton’s 9 movie 2009
Here is one film I am just not sure how to take. It left me scratching my head. With it being from Tim Burton, I was not surprised to see a bizarre futuristic realm of robots made from scraps like rag dolls. I just don’t understand Burton’s obsession with buttons, …
From Dusk Till Dawn
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Many current science fiction movies rely heavily on special effects and don’t always have the best scripts. Those movie producers should do more research into The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The movie doesn’t have a lot of special effects, even by 1950s standards but is still a memorable science …
Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …
