Tiny Times 1-4 (Chinese Movie)
The Tiny Times is a romance drama movie series based on novels by Guo Jing Ming. It’s made up of 4 movies (Tiny Time 1-4). The movies are all directed by the author himself.
The series is glamorous and beautiful. And I mean the costumes, locations and casts, not the …

Flight of the Navigator is a great movie made by Disney. I think this is a great family film. Till this day I can watch this movie with my family and enjoy it a lot. I think the best thing about this movie is that is has so much feeling …
Sleepers: Movie
I found Sleepers to be quite an interesting film, mainly due to the fact that I am a fan of a good revenge story.
I wasn’t entirely satisfied at the ending, but I feel that the emotion captured by the actors was so good that it softened the blow a …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …

Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the last of The Four trilogy.

There are a number of …

I wasn’t too sure what to expect when I checked this movie out of the library, but to my delight it was a truly engrossing movie. It’s about the power struggle between two men on a train during the Great Depression. One man works on the train and he …
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 …
Shrek
I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …
X-men Days of Future Past (2014 Film)
I’m not what you would call a super duper die hard fan of X-men comics, but I do enjoy the movies and have followed them since the very first one came out. I was excited for the newest movie in the X-men Days of Future Past, when viewing the trailers. …
The Divergent Series: Insurgent (science fiction adventure movie)
After enjoying the first movie in the Divergent franchise, I was happy to know that there would actually be a sequel. I expected that it might be a lot better than even the first one especially since it would probably have more action and fight scenes. I was also interested …
Movie Hair Spray
Some musicals are entertaining to watch and may even be funny. In the case of the movie Hair Spray, you also have a movie that is very fun to watch.

War aka Rogue Assassin Movie
I have always loved Jet Li ever since Kiss of the Dragon and Cradle to the Grave, however this is a much different setting than the earlier movies mentioned that still remain as my old-time favorites, this has a certain twist in a way that it is both gruesome, …
Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
Twilight the first movie
Twilight was such a great movie with so many different scenes that I loved with so many hot guys and characters that blew my mind away and captured my heart. I love how the plot revolves around a group of vampires with one the vampires falling in love with a …

The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …
Kick Ass movie
When I heard my friends with different likes and dislikes all praising this movie, I became eager to watch it for myself in the theatres. My eagerness increased even more when I saw it being praised in the media, and movie critics did not have much bad things …
Date Movie
This movie is hilarious. Starring Allison Hannigan, this movie is like the Scary Movie series in that it makes fun of other movies but this time it’s parodies mostly revolve around romantic comedies and some others. These include Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Hitch, Wedding Planner, …

Fury is the story of a tank crew going up against a small German army (marginally outnumbering them) at the tip top end of WWII. The film features Brad Pitt as the lead and a sprinkle of lesser known actors as the sides who perform well enough to hold …
Eat, Pray, Love (The Movie)
I watched this movie last weekend and I have to say that I didn’t like it much. The plot was not strong enough and not developed well enough to justify the lessons that Liz Gilbert was imparting in the movie. It did not evoke any feeling, and …
Solstice (PG-13, 2007)
I really tried hard to at least give this film a chance. I liked that it was set in Louisiana. I liked that the directors chose to focus on the solstice aspect. I even resigned myself to the fact that there would be several college kids …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …
Risky Business movie
I believe “Risky Business” represents an interesting way on how to make teen movie. It was an innovative way how to address teen and staying away from the teen movie stereotype. “Risky Business” also represented a nomination for the Golden Globe for a very young Tom Cruise. I personally …
Netflix
I subscribed to Netflix video rental service about two months ago. Things for the most part run very smoothly on a consistent basis. It takes about two days from the shipment center to my house, and two days back. Although sometimes it takes much longer and I’ll wait up …

Cerberus (2005) movie

The Accidental Spy (movie)
This is another Jackie Chan movie that I had watched some time recently, and possibly might have seen one time before. Even though I had heard about it, I had never really paid it much attention until very recently. It is one of his late movies too that was …
Cold Mountain
At first, I had a hard time getting myself to watch the movie “Cold Mountain” especially since I thought it would have been a Western, and I have a strong dislike for Westerns. However, recently when I was at a friend’s house, I found the DVD and decided to …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Legally Blonde

Cop Out Feature Film
This movie made me sad to watch. How far has Bruce Willis fallen that he does this kind of movie? I get why Tracy Morgan was happy to make this film, but Bruce could do so much better. The action was nice, it was not …
