The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …

The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …
Zack and Miri Make a Porno movie
When I first saw the movie “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, I was not the slightest bit interested in it for several reasons. The very first one was the fact that the actor Seth Rogen was in one of the lead roles as Zack, and I have never …

The Addiction
The Addiction is a movie about vampires. It seems as if lately, in the last twenty years or so, there is a great interest in portraying vampires on the big screen, but not necessarily in the way that the older films used to. Maybe it started with spoofing Dracula, …
The Day The Earth Stood Still film
As far as wasted opportunities go, this film takes the cake. It isn’t so much a remake of the original film as it is homage to it as only the very basic plot elements from the original were retained and woven into an unnecessarily reworked plot that falls flat …

Slamdog millionaire is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is really well filmed …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is the hilarious chronicle of the making of a movie about Vietnam where the director is ‘inspired’ to take his cast deep into the Vietnam jungle so that they can capture the movie in real time and give it a ‘gritty’ feel to the entire drama. It has …
Spanglish
I like Adam Sander movies for the very reason that it’s fun to watch and you’re sure to be entertained. There are some really popular Sandler movies like Click, which is one of my favorite, Anger Management, The Longest Yard and many more. But Spanglish seemed not to be …
Take The Lead movie
I was able to watch Antonio Banderas mostly n action films, so I never really thought that he can dance.

Good Boy movie
My sister loves to watch this movie. She watches it a lot, almost every day. I kind of get sick of watching it to tell you the truth. I think it is more of a kid’s movie than for anyone. I think that it is kind of childish.
It’s …
Cannonball Run
Talk about nostalgia, I’m only twenty-seven years old and I really feel like an old timer when I watch cannonball run. This great movie was probably the funniest of its time. Featuring great actors like Burt Reynolds, who molded perfectly into his role of the bad boy racer, J.J. …

High Crimes movie
As a person who loves both courtroom dramas and military movies, High Crimes is the perfect film for me because it gives me a good combination of both.
Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd play attorneys who are attempting to free Judd’s husband from prison after the military calls him a …
A Cinderella Story
The story of Cinderella has been cloned so many times, successfully and not. This 2004 attempt offers a contemporary, high school version set in California. For Cinderella, we have Sam, who is a high school girl sneered at by the popular crowd and overworked by her evil step …
Spaceballs (1987 movie)
If it’s from Mel Brooks, it’s great comedy.
Spaceballs makes parody of Star Wars, having the same great characters, but with a comedic insight. Lord Dark Helmet (very huge helmet) is sent to steal air from planet Druidia. Lone Starr with the help of his trusty sidekick Barfolemew ‘Barf’ are …
Death Race movie
I just watched this movie (Death Race) an hour ago. Before I watch this movie, I totally have no idea what are the plot and the main actor. It starts with cars racing, not nice sport cars but metal, modified cars with many functions which one car keeps shooting …
European Vacation movie
The Griswald family receives the first prize in a contest, which is a trip to Europe where they believe they will have a lovely vacation together. For different reasons, this vacation doesn’t turn out exactly as expected.
Chevy Chase is indeed a talented comedian who is hilarious at times, but …
Valentine movie
Valentine with David Boreanaz and Denise Richards.
This horror clone of Friday the 13th is an entertaining flick, but since it has been preceded by many similar works of the same pattern it loses its attraction. Generate an unknown masked killer with a grudge. Insert …
The Other Sister movie
I have just finished watching this movie. I never heard of it before and therefore did not know what to expect. Well, it turned out to be surprisingly good! Touching and funny at the same time, a comedy and at the same a drama. I was afraid that it …
The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps is a great, classic movie for all lovers of rock and roll. I adore Neil Young and consider him to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Neil Young’s guitar sound is like no other, as is his voice. Rust Never …
Fast and Furious Movie
I was really excited when this movie came out, it features the whole original team from the first movie and I was so excited that I watched this on the first day it showed. However it was all hype and the excitement was done just when Michelle Rodriguez died …
A Few Good Men movie
I think A Few Good Men is one of the coolest an funniest movies I have ever seen. I really like the acting of Jack Nicholson in this film. The movie A Few Good Men also stars Tom Cruise as well. I think both actors do a wonderful job of …
Movie Just Friends
I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …
Evan Almighty (2007)
Evan Almighty (2007) is a comedy from director Tom Shadyac that is rated PG by the MPAA for mild rude humor and some peril.
In this sequel to the very popular Bruce Almighty, newscaster Evan Baxter (Steve Carrell) has traded in the news desk for a post in Washington …
District 9 movie
Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …
There will be blood
‘There will be blood’ is a good English movie. But it is also rather sad to watch this movie because the movie shows the exploitation of the lower class. Directed by Paul Thomas, the movie is a grim one. The main actor has performed well. It is not possible …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …

The Roommate (2011 Movie)
I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …
Transformers: The Michael Bay Movie
When there were rumors about this movie coming out, I was pretty sketpical on how well it could be done. Yeah special effects have come a long way in the past few years and we have computer graphics that make the most outlandish things appear real, but could the …
Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
The comedic master mind that is Mel Brooks takes center stage as he pokes fun yet again at another movie. This time he takes on Dracula and tosses and turns this once serious and feared character into that of an onscreen laughing stock. Mel is one of the only …
