The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …
Viva Baseball Documentary
“Viva Baseball” is a 2005 documentary about Latino baseball players and the affects Latinos have had on baseball. I’m a big baseball fan and like fans everywhere am familiar with the 1947 the year the “color” barrier was broken when Jackie Robinson became a Brooklyn Dodger, but I was …
“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …
Final Destination IV movie
I almost didn’t finish this movie when I watched it with my friends in September of 2009. It was just released a few days ago, and so the cinema at Strawberry Hills mall here in Surrey, Canada was filled to the rafters.
It was released in 3-D so …
Wedding Crashers
The movie “Wedding Crashers” is the film that made the actors, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn very much famous. It is thanks to this extraordinary movie that both actors moved on in working on more demanding and challenging roles.
What I really liked about “Wedding Crashers” is the out of …
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004 movie)
For a movie that generated so much attention…it sure is boring. I tried to watch the movie straight tp the end, but it was hopeless. I couldn’t keep up with this movie as it didn’t have that staying power that a viewer looks for. It was long and drawn …
The Faculty
There’s so many movie based on story about alien attack in many different type. Like The faculty, this movie is tell about the alien attack too but it’s in hidden mission, the alien attacks start from the school.
The story begin when Cassie (Elijah Wood) find some strange species in school, …
Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …
Torn Apart
Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …
The Dark Knight
I’m not fan of Batman and I watched this movie because it’s rated as 5 star in CinemaOnline (Malaysia) website. I even couldn’t remember the previous Batman movie.
I found it very boring and couldn’t wait for the end of the movie before the first half of the movie …
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Everything was right about this film: cast, crew, settings, story. It had all the elements of success, and enough going on in each scene to ensure repeated viewings over the years. I am one of those repeaters, and now, one of my sons has joined me in naming Who …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
There aren’t many movies that I’m willing to spend the price of admission on. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull is one of the few I am.
Quite simply, this movie is awesome. If I could afford it, I would go back again and again. I don’t …
Movie Rental Store
Here in Bellingham we are fortunate to have the best video store ever. Film is Truth located on Holly Street is absolutely the best adult video store ever. By adult I don’t mean that they rent dirty movies, but rather that they rent movies that will interest adults.
The store …
Black Swan Movie
The funny thing about Black Swan is that I should really have no reason to want to watch it. True, it’s a film by Darren Aranofsky, who’s acclaimed film “Requiem for a Dream” is one of my favorite movies, and who also gave us “The Wrestler”, but none of …
The Ruins
Man! I bet Scott Smith is one disappointed writer! ‘The Ruins’, published by Vintage books and called “The best horror novel of the new century” by Stephen King was only Scott Smith’s second novel and BAM! It shot up on the New York Times Best Seller list and was …
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …
Kill Theory movie
A friend of mine had the DVD for Kill Theory, and I decided to kill time while I was at their house and watch it, even though even the title seemed very corny to me, and I’m usually very wary of a lot of horror movies that seem to …
Batman The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Movie
Dark Knight Rises. When you think about it, it certainly sounds like a Batman movie. I mean, Batman is always needing to rise above or overcome something. His world is always filled with darkness and overcoming the evils of Gotham City. But in this movie, I think there were …
The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …
Batman series: The Dark Knight
What do you know?
It actually lived up to the hype. I was having second thoughts whether or not I should watch this movie but since I was with a friend who wanted to see it, I was forced.
Any boy was I thankful.
The movie started with The Joker robbing the …
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Directed and Produced by MadHOUSE
Now this is what you call a good movie.
From the creators of Death Note, Beck and claymore, this one from Madhouse is a sure another topnotch! Its not an action anime but more on romantic and fantasy and supernatural genre.
This movie was based on the …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Romantic Fantasy Drama Movie)
Even though it was considered as a popular award winning movie I had never gotten a chance to finish watching “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. Nearly eight years after it was released in 2008, I finally got took the chance to finish watching it. While I had heard …
Change of Habit movie
Change of Habit is a movie I’ve always enjoyed watching. It’s one of my very favorite films to star Elvis Presley. In fact, it was actually his movie, something I find very sad. His co-star was Mary Tyler Moore, reportedly the only co-star who never slept …
Stargate: Atlantis 501 “Search and Rescue”
Stargate Atlantis season 5 premiere was one of the things I was really waiting for. With all the spoilers out there, I couldn’t imagine how they will make it work. And oh boy, was it worth it.
The episode is an immediate continuation of the season 4 finale. The building …
Bride Wars
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this wonderful Bride Wars. I watched this in the cinema with my best friend and we were relating to what we fantasized on our future wedding someday. I’m sure best friends will always talk about their own individual weddings someday and …
Movie 2001 Maniacs
I thought this movie was so weird, so gross, and so disturbing. And yet, I couldn’t stop watching it.
In the beginning it’s just creepy. I mean, the town is so weird, anf the people are freakishly happy to see these kids. You pretty much get a bad feeling about …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …
High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
Funny it is, ’cause the movie “Fog” was really trying hard to be classically sophisticated sci-fi. Well, no it isn’t. Though, the graphics was seemed great and modern …

Daybreakers movie
Although I won’t go as far and say that Daybreakers was a bad movie, I was still quite disappointed in it when I watched it yesterday for several reasons. I was unable to understand why a few people I knew said they liked it too, when to me it …
The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …
Twilight the movie
I’ve seen this movie just this year when I bought this DVD. My friends advised me to watch the movie because it seemed that they were totally hooked and amazed to the story. Frankly, I am not a vampire fan and this is the first time that I watched …
The Benchwarmers
What do you get when there are combination acting by Jon Heder, Rob Schneider and David Spade? You get total hilarious and out of this world type of laughs.
Perhaps there are people thinking that this is a dumb movie but I really love this when it was …
Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …
The Incredible Hulk
Hulk had another similar version released in 2003, directed by Ang Lee, starring Eric Bana as the Bruce Banner (The Hulk) and Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross. The story was about the origins of the Hulk. It was quite a hit during that period of time in 2003.

Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
Braveheart
Braveheart is one of my all time favorite movies, I have seen it at least ten times and I am still not tired of it. Braveheart is full of action, romance, and passion. But the best part of the whole thing is that it is based on a true …
Life of Pi (movie)
A couple years ago, I had to read the book “Life of Pi” for a literature class. I had heard one or two other students say that it was a very good book, but whenever I had gotten to read it for myself, I wasn’t anywhere near as impressed …
Movie Cars
I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …
Walk the Line
Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
Why make a movie based upon the rotten life of Johnny Cash? Another entertainer corrupted by rapid success hits rock bottom and then pulls out a turnaround is no big deal. Cash with his …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …
The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
The Day the Earth Stood Still is a sci-fi movie that made it to the number box office out of everything else. Keanu Reeves role was an alien that traveled to Earth to warn the Earth about a crisis to come. This is a remake of the 1951 version. …
Movie: Avatar

Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982)
A great sequel to a funny and classic movie. Ted Striker returns to attempt to save a lunar shuttle flight to the moon when a computer malfunction sends the flight on a one-way trip to the sun. Throughout the movie, you are guaranteed to laugh.
Let’s start with Robert Hays, …
