A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Movie)
Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ is a movie that documents the first three books of the series of the same name. The movie, like with most movies adapted from books, was a rather aggravating contrast from the real book. Unlike other movies however the real contrast came …
The Lion King
I love everything about this movie. It was very funny. The animation was fantastic.
I first watched this in the theatre when I was in college. It was in the year 1994 when ‘The Lion King’ was in every movie house around the metropolis.
Of course the magnificence …
Tom and Jerry Cartoons
I remember watching these two cartoon characters chase each other when I was a kid and now, years later, I find myself watching them again. Actually, I’m not the one watching it. My boy who is only 4 years old watches it all the time and there’s nothing any …
Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …
Batman: The Dark Knight
“Batman: The Dark Knight” was one of the most memorable movies which was released in the year 2008. When I first saw it advertising with the late actor “Heath Ledger” I did not think tha the movie would be good, since I had only previously seen him in …
Going Overboard
I bought this film because of adam sandler and i thought “great he nomally dose good films” when i got it home i was in for a shock! it was the most rubbish film i have ever seen in my life! i think this film has just been thrown …
Eagle Eye
I just finished watching the movie Eagle Eye few days ago. I got the DVD from a friend of mine who told me it’s quite a good movie. After watching the movie, I must say I am not very impressed with it.
The story started in the Middle East region …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …
Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …
Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer. First the unsurpassed art-favorite Tim Burton carried the great adventures of the superhero in “Batman” (1989) and “Batman Returns” (1992), followed by Joel Schumacher who …
Megiddo: The Omega Code 2
If you’re the kind that likes to watch TBN and laugh at just how insane and silly these people really are, then you will probably enjoy Megiddo: The Omega Code 2. Although it proclaims itself as a sequel to the Omega Code, it isn’t really a sequel (although …
Hulk Movie (with Edward Norton)
After the bomb that was the last Hulk movie, the new one gave me a nice sigh of relief. I was skeptical about it at first, but I’ve never seen a film with Edward Norton that I did not like, so I decided to check it out.
Unlike its predecessor, …
Medea’s Family Reunion
Should I be annoyed? I really don’t know. Why do we as women allow our decisions, especially when it comes to love and marriage to be clouded by perception? The perception of friends, relatives and society, as to what is ideal and what is ‘necessary’?
In Tyler Perry’s …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
The Incredible hulk
The incredible hulk which is the second part of the movie The Hulk, is overall a nice action movie but still not as good as the first part. In the second part the hero of the movie who is actually the hulk, desperately run around to change his genetic …
The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)
The Ghost and the Darkness, directed by Stephen Hopkins is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for some violence and gore involving animal attacks. The original rlease date for this movie was October 11, 1996 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …
Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …
Stigmata film
I first saw the horror movie “Stigmata” a little after I got cable television which would have been in about te year 2001 or 2002. Thus I was still a bit young at the time, and I only saw a part of the movie because I thought it was …
Movie: “Night at the Museum” (2006)
I have to say this is one of my all-time favorite Ben Stiller movies. I’m not really a Stiller fan; the only movie he’s really “acted” in was the hilarious Zoolander; otherwise, he always plays the same character: neurotic, a little nerdy, uncommitted, but with a good soul. He …
Movie: The Prowler
I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …
Snakes On A Plane Movie
Snakes On A Plane is a movie that I actually like. I missed out on all the hoopla surrounding the movie, and never visited any of the spoiler sites, or the blogs that followed the movie’s progress so I didn’t have any expectations going into the movie. All I …
The Death of Stalin, movie (2017)
I watched the acclaimed film The Death of Stalin. What can I say? A good comedy, similar to Monty Python’s work - in some places absurdist humor that makes the film funny in the best sense of the word.
The plot does not sag anywhere. It is interesting to watch from …
The Village - Movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The Village is one of the later movies of M. Night Shyamalan. I have for a long time believed that the beauty of Shyamalan’s movies was dwindling but this movie was among those that were better than you would first thought.
In all truthfulness the movie started out very …
The Karate Kid 2010
I just watched the 2020 remake of The Karate Kid. It was an enjoyable movie. I must say though that I enjoyed the first movie the best. The remake is entertaining but not a movie that I’ll find myself watching over and over again. Not because of the …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …
Maid in Manhatten
This is another great movie to add to your movie night ! It has Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes as the main leads. I think it is a sweet story of a hard working woman who realizes that she wants and deserves more out of life and finally …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Open Water 2 : Adrift
This movie is the sequel from the Open Water 1, but I never see Open Water 1. when i watched this movie, I feel so pity if that movie is based on true story. I feel that how fool they are, gone to the sea without preparing well, and …
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 …
Big Hero 6 (Movie)
I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …
The Last King of Scotland
I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Back in the 1950s, they made the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a movie. I still think it is one of the better invasion movies of all time. But, today I’m going to review the 1978 remake of the film starring Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum
While not …
Cunningham Herritage
I am reviewing The Case of the Cunningham Heritage, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fiftees. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

Blue Crush film
This film is awesome. I loved it. It is a chick flick starring Kate Bosworth (The hottie that went out with Orlando Bloom)The film itself is about surfing and a massive competition that she wants to win…
Of course there is a love interest and she gets a bit sidetracked. …
The Gravedancers movie
Cast: Dominic Purcell (Harris), Josie Maran (Kira), Clare Kramer (Allision), Marcus Thomas (Sid), Tcheky Karyo (Vincent) Megahn Perry (Frances)
It is always better to be safe than sorry. Just like these guys (and girl) who got drunk and danced on graves; and their misfortune to have chosen …
Asterix and the Olympics
First, I can’t remember the first Asterix movie I watched, but I remember it was very funny. I’m disappointed by this one though, more details later. If you’ve read their comics, then you know that Asterix and Obelix are a lovable character from the Gaul village in …
50 First Dates
50 First Dates stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
This classic love story takes place in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii, and aside from this location, it was clearly a clone of the Wedding Singer that also starred these two actors. Aside from this fact, I loved the …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Ed Wood (Film)
Ed Wood is a film by Tim Burton which stars Johnny Depp playing the title character of the film. For those of you who don’t know, Ed Wood was a Hollywood director who was voted as the worst director of all time from several polls and this is basically …
Movie High School Musical 3
Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …
Toy Story 3 Movie
For the third installment, Andy is already 17 years old and planning to go to college. He wanted to get rid of his toys but decides to take Woody with him and placed the rest in a garbage bag. He was suppose to keep them but Andy’s mom mistook …
3:10 to Yuma (Original-1957)
With the removie of due out on video any day I thought I’d prepare by watching and reviewing the original movie done fifty years ago. “3:10 to Yuma” was a Columbia Picture, shot in black and white, something I really like, and lasting 91 minutes, also something I like. …
Love and Other Drugs movie
Love and Other Drugs is a romantic-comedy with a hint of drama. It stars Anne Hathaway as Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jamie. This film was released in November 2010.
At first I felt this film was slow to start off. I also have a hard time viewing Anne …
Arachnaphobia film
If you are looking for a film that will be sure to give you a creepy crawly feeling, be sure to rent Arachnaphobia.
I am not afraid of spiders (nor anything else 1000th of my size) but this movie had me checking my blankets before crawling into bed.
Starring Jeff Daniels, …
The Thief of Bagdad movie
One of Michael Powell’s earliest successes which a co-directed with a number of different people, but it was before the famous co-operation with Emeric Pressburger. The story is about a young beggar in Bagdad who finds a magic lamp which enables him to make three wishes. This story is …
Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
