The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
Kung Fu Panda
I saw ‘Kung Fu Panda’ a few days ago. The first thing that hit me as soon as the movie started was the awesome graphics. This animated movie brings together Jack Black(Po), Dustin Hoffman(master shifu), Angelina Jolie (Tigress), Ian McShane (Tai Lung), Jackie Chan (Monkey), Lucy Liu (Viper), Seth …
Drive Movie (2011)
I absolutely hated the Drive movie, but then the next day I went back to the movie theatre and watched it again. The fact is that is that the movie made me really care about the characters and it also made me want to figure it all out- and …
The Number 23 movie
Starring:
Jim Carrey (Walter Sparrow/Fingerling), Virginia Madsen (Agatha Sparrow/Fabrizia), Logan Lerman (Robin Sparrow), Danny Huston (Issac French/Dr Miles),
I was not sure what to expect from this movie, though the synopsis described the obsession of a man with a book. I had taken this DVD up, as I …
Sunshine Cleaning movie
As much as I love Indie movies I rarely check them out in theaters. I tend to wait for them to be released on DVD in case it turns out to be really bad. I’ve heard of Sunshine Cleaning from friends and when it first came out on DVD …
Homeward Bound 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …
Superman Vs Doomsday
Coming from Old School Superman, I could never really get into Superman and Lois Lane as an item. I can appreciate its inevitability � I mean, after all, they’ve been working together almost seventy years. But if television is any indicator, romances typically mean the death knell to a …
13 Going On 30 (movie)
13 Going On 30 is one of the most idiotic movies I have ever seen. My family saw it and convinced me to sit down and watch with them. Well, I will give 13 Going On 30 credit for getting the family to sit through one more viewing because …
Jumper (movie)
My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …
Say it isn’t so movie
Say it isn’t so is a very funny movie with a lot of comic scenes. The movie is a romantic comedy and I didn’t know I would enjoy this movie so much. I just went to watch it as I was feeling bored and to my surprise the movie …
Taxi (movie)
Taxi is a movie about a cop undercover who teams up with a fast cab driver in New York to catch a bunch of women who have been robbing banks. First of all, a French movie of the same name has already been made that couldn’t have been worse …
Ogre movie
We ended up watching a DVD last night of a movie that originally aired on the Sci Fi Channel last year; Ogre.
When we got the DVD, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It looked like it would be a somewhat crappy movie that would rely heavily on blood and …
Star Trek movie (2009)
I never really watched “Star Trek” when it was a series, because I didn’t understand it, and when I did try to take the time to I realised I wouldn’t understand it since it had been going on for years. Therefore, I didn’t like Star Trek because of those …
The Muppets (2011 film)
I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Disney’s Mulan movie
If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …
Walk The Line movie
This is a 2005 biography film about Johnny Cash, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. The film starts from Cash’s early childhood, and progresses throughout his life, telling an interesting story that I thought I knew already, I found out I knew …
The Mangler movie
It’s a movie about a killer washing machine. Really, what more do you need to know?
It’s based on a short story by the master of horror himself, taken from a collection called “Night Shift”. Despite the goofy plot, the story actually works pretty well. Heck, as …
The Greatest Show on Earth movie
One of my favorite movies has always been The Greatest Show on Earth, starring Charlton Heston. In fact, I believe this is Heston’s first big starring role. He plays Brad, the owner of the circus that travels the country. He has to deal with everything that …
Jacob’s Ladder movie
Tim Robbins does an amazing job in this film as an american war veteran who suspects the government is trying to hide something for him. He suspects that he and other soldiers where affected by some form of drug during wartime and he desperately tries to prove this, but …
The magic flute movie
This film was intended for television purpose mainly, but was so popular the director Ingmar Bergman decided to give it a full release. It’s an opera play, telling the old myth about the magic flute in a very unusual way to be a film. Clearly this wasn’t Bergman’s ordinary …
Transformers Animated Series - Black Arachnia Action Figure
Black Arachnia is one of the Decepticons in the Transformers Animated Series toy line. She is unusual in that she is one of the few female Transformers. One must wonder what gender would even mean in terms of robots, but I digress. She is a neat …
The Air I Breathe
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …
Employee of the Month movie
“Employee of the Month” had to be a Jessica Simpson movie after her success movie “The Dukes of Hazzard”. Unfortunately for her this movie represented her nomination for the Razzie Award as the worst actress in a female role.
However, there are positive aspects to “Employee of the Month”. This …
Netflix

Sally Field
Sally Field is an amazing American actress. She began her career in The Flying Nun, an old television series about a young nun who could fly (this was due to her habit, not wings!). Sally Field has also starred in such wonderful films as Norma Rae, Sybil, Places In …
Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
‘Star Trek Beyond’ 2016 movie
In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …

Management movie
I love this movie! Management, starring one of my most favorite actress, Jennifer Aniston, is such a good movie. Alongside her is Steve Zahn and both of them have great chemistry together. I watched this movie and I thought it’s going to be a bad one, but surprisingly …
The Movie Avatar by James Cameron
I am a huge movie fan and I can say without a doubt that James Cameron’s Avatar will go down in history as one of the best movies ever made. Not since I have seen Star Wars over two decades ago have I felt such excitement about a movie. …

Millionaire’s First Love
I have watched a very touching Korean movie that I think is worth a good review. The title is A Millionaire’s First Love. The movie started out really funny but ended really sad. The twist of the movie was cool and that it was really worth the time, I …
Stir of Echos
Another one of my all time favorite actors is Kevin Bacon. There was a game out a few years ago called the Kevin Bacon game, in that game you would name movies or movie actors who were associated with or played in the same movies as Kevin Bacon. …

Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
Movie Hidalgo
Hidalgo isn’t an oscar worth film nor does it do anything that spectacular, but this shouldn’t turn you away from this movie, especially if you enjoy adventure films. The story tells the story of a man and his horse and there adventure across the desert. The problem …
Erin Brokovich
I have adored Julia Roberts since Pretty Woman and Sleeping with the Enemy. I had seen Erin Brokovich when I was in my teens and although I enjoyed the movie, I did not really understood it. I had an opportunity to watch it during my own free time and …
Movie Basket Case
Basket Case is an old movie from the year 1982. This movie is of course kind of cheesy and funny. Yet it is also scary, and kind of bloody. I think the old horror movies like Basket Case were a lot scarier, than the movies they make these days. …
Cars The Movie (Pixar)
As an animation enthusiast I am in love with what companies like Pixar do. In my opinion Cars is one of their greatest creations.
When Cars first hit the theaters it was my must see movie of the year. I am by no means a child on the outside, but …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself film (2009)
I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of my favorite films from the director Tyler Perry. In my honest opinion I feel like this one of his best pieces compared to some of his recent work. I also call this one a classic because it’s well …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
There was a big buzz on the internet months before —˜The Blair Witch Project’ was released in the cinema in 1999. Prior to making the movie, the director and writer, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, had made a documentary purporting to be real, involving eye witness accounts and …

Fooled by the thriller of monster vs alien that i have watched in youtube[dot]com, i found that this movie is not that good as everyone predicted. When the first time i watched the thriller i can only laugh, laugh, and laugh (that was because BOB scene when he get …
Bean Movie
Although at some point in our lives we may relate to this almost non-speaking wobbley man in this movie named Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson) shown in 1997 (directed by Mel Smith), because of stupidity we commit every now and then, no one would dare admit it openly. …
