Movies Reviews
The American (2010 Movie)
Shortly after starring in Batman & Robin, George Clooney said that he had come to the point in his career where he’s financially secure enough to make the sort of movies he wants to make, the kinds of movies like Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair, Cool Hand Luke …
The Odd Couple II
Sequels are often just the worst things under the sun, often taking the original characters to ruin. There are few that really are true to the story, that follow it through and make it all believable. Sometimes you still enjoy the original better, but even so, you …
The Legend Of 1900
The Legend Of 1900 is a movie about this man who lives on a ship. Tim Roth, one of my favorite character actors, plays 1900, the person who the story was written about. The Legend Of 1900 is so beautiful that the movie just made me get all weepy …
Spiderman 3
Another love story, that’s what I said to my friends after watching it. I don’t want to spoil it for others who might want to go and spend some dough on this romantic adventure. I know, most people loved the effects and cinematography, but I’m not after an award …
Movie About a Boy
As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.
Grant plays his normal character, a single man who looks to hook up with various women and starts out lying to them …
Juno - Movie
Juno is an interesting movie to watch that raises some real life issues such as teenage pregnancy and abortion.
It is about this young 16 year old girl that falls pregnant to this guy at school. She freaks out when she found out and instantly thought of aborting her …
Tom and Jerry the Movie
My daughter is currently watching Tom and Jerry the Movie for the second time tonight. While she seems to enjoy the movie (which is probably the only thing that matters), I have to say I’m not a huge fan of it.
Overall, it isn’t a terrible movie, the cat and …
Some Like it Hot movie
I am reviewing the movie, Some Like it Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Cutis, and Jack Lemmon. This movie was made in 1959, and was directed by Billy Wilder.
Joe and Jerry are musicians, desperate for any type of gig they can find in the hard economic times. One …
I Know Who Killed Me (2007)
Lindsay Lohan plays a duo character similar to that of the remake of the Parent Trap but, with a more sinister twist. As the character Aubrey Flemming, she is the typical girl next door, straight A student at school, with popular friends. As Dakota Moss, she is a troubled …
I Want To Live movie
I Want To Live is a movie about a woman who ends up being in the right place at the wrong time. Barbara Graham was a real person and I Want To Live is her story. Susan Haywood does a fine performance as Barbara Graham. Barbara works with a …
Wild Wild West (1999)
Wild Wild West, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for action violence, sex references and innuendo. The original release date was June 30, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Comedy/Science Fiction/Western and stars Will Smith …
Over Her Dead Body
I decided to watch “Over Her Dead Body” because I read about the movie story and thought it was an interesting one. After watching it, I ended up disappointed because the movie fails to win over the audience. The comic moments in this romantic comedy are simply half baked!
“Over …
The Women movie
The Women is based upon a movie classic from 1939. The claim to fame of this film is that there are no men in the film, not even in passing. In parts Meg Ryan is very entertaining but I am a fan of Meg and all her characters are …
Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo Movie
I finally gave in and let my daughter rent the movie Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo. I like the cartoon series, but I figured this movie would be a lot like some of the newer ones and get away from the whole monster is really someone in disguise plot.
However, this …
Superman: The Animated Series Volume One
Superman The Animated Series Volume One is not my favorite of the three seasons, but it is still an enjoyable and exciting season that I am more than happy to own. The three part season opener is particularly entertaining to watch as opens not on Earth or in Metropolis, …
American Meth documentary
In the year 2007, I would have thought that a more in depth methamphetamine documentary could have been made. Kudos to the creators for casting Val Kilmer as the narrator. His voice has plenty of presence, and you forget that it’s even him speaking. However, this …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
For Pete’s Sake movie
I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …
The Getaway (1994)
Doc McCoy, played by Alec Baldwin, and his wife Carol McCoy, played by Kim Basinger, are out for one more score. Getting themselves prepared is not a very bad thing to day at all, and if one is to be good at the craft one does, then practice is …
Boogeyman Movie
Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …
Alien Nation (1988)
Aliens known as Newcomers are the main story line of this futuristic movie. A flying saucer crash lands on Earth where it is discovered to be holding enslaved aliens. Without the proper repairs that are required to fix the space craft, the aliens are forced to live out the …
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for rude and sexual humor, and language. The original release date for this movie was June 18, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …
The Good Girl
The Good Girl shows Jennifer Anniston at her finest, I think. Jennifer Anniston plays Justine, a married woman working at a small town, dumpy store the equivalent of a Wal Mart. Justine does cosmetics, and makes other women beautiful. Justine doesn’t feel so beautiful, however, and it is apparent …
The Fighter Movie
The Fighter is a gritty, brash drama based on the true life experiences of Micky Ward, a boxer that
rose from the squalor of a poor Lowell family to win the Boxing Championship of the World. The
major focus of the film is the relationship between Micky and his has-been boxer …
A Very Special Love: Special it is
I am not very fond of Filipino or local movies ( I live in the Philippines and local movies are called “Tagalog Movies”) but then I have to say that I did enjoy watching one particular movie that I would also like to introduce to the readers of Reviewstream. …
Wolf Movie
I love werewolf movies. But, until last night, I had never seen the 1994 film, Wolf.
Well, I finally got a chance to see it and found it really wasn’t worth the wait.
Jack Nicholson is pretty decent as a business man who gets bit by a wolf and starts turning …
Something To Talk About (movie)
Something To Talk About is a movie about relationships. And if you love horses, you will love the equestrian action in this film! Julia Roberts is Grace, a bored and well to do housewife who works at her family’s horse ranch. She and her husband, Eddie (Dennis Quaid), have …
Tremors (1990 movie)
In a small town, far far away from civilization, where the people love to live a simple life, they found danger. Danger that comes from underground and they seem to be hungry for human flesh. These creatures are skillful underground dwellers that seem to maneuver their way through earth …
House of Flying Daggers Movie
You add a mix of deception and betrayal, throw in a dash of blindness and what do you have? You have another movie about a plot to kill the emperor or in this case, to kill the leader of a rebel group. Animation is good…not too over the top, …
The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …
Feds (1988)

Happy Feet
During the summer I took my 6 year old son to see the musical movie “Happy Feet”. I was very pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed the movie as much if not more than my son. While the overall appeal of the movie definetly stemmed from well …
Beauty and the Beast,1991 animation movie
I love this movie, I can’t praise it enough. It is beautiful, creative, funny, and touching. Disney can make good animation, if they put their mind to it.
A young beauty named Belle lives in a village with her father Maurice, an inventor thought to be crazy because his machines …
The Last Days of Patton,1986 movie
Filmed 16 years after the original “Patton,” this movie shows us the last several months of the general’s life. The World War II is over, and Patton gets seriously injured in a car accident. We see the general on his deathbed, with the doctors trying to save him, and …
Prom Night Movie
Recently I had the chance to watch the new remake of Prom Night. I’ve been a fan of horror movies for a long time and actually saw the original, though I can’t recall it very clearly. The original actually inspired a handful of sequels, starring other actresses that were …
The Lone Ranger Movie
“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …
Thunderball
How many James Bond movies are there now? Like five hundred, six hundred, seven thousand and seventy two? I know there are a whole lot, and probably a whole lot more to come. I admit, I haven’t seen very many James Bond movies. Some of the ones I have …
Boy eats girl movie
I really like zombie movies, books, comic books and video games. When I saw Boy eats girl on Netflix I decided to watch it. It is a campy teenage zombie film from Ireland. I don’t think it is very old maybe a few years old. It starts off like …
The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
Gidget (TV Series)
After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …
The Red Shoes movie
Back in the 1940s, two gentlemen named Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger created a series of colorful epic style films that shocked the whole world of cinema with their beauty and touch. Apparently, Mr Powell was the visual genius of the both while Pressburger handled most of the dialogue. …
Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie
I am not a huge Molly Parker fan. But there is something about the actress’ delicate features and avant garde sensitivity that I am drawn to. For that reason, I decided to rent “Suspicious River”—a film about a young woman who works in a motel, …
Oprah-20th Anniversary DVD
Now the queen of daytime can be the queen of your livingroom anytime with this great Oprah box set of DVDs.
My mother really likes to tune into the Oprah show everyday so I purchased this DVD set for her for her birthday.
The DVD collection features highlights from 20 ears …
The Grudge Movie
The movie The Grudge is one of the best new scary movies to come out recently. I did enjoy the movie. Although I must say it’s very similar to The Ring. The reason I saw this is because both of the dead people who come back to kill were …
Stomp The Yard Movie
My brother recommended that I watch this movie since I loved dancing, and upon watching it I was first bored as the steps were quite robotic and it was so “formal”, the setting was in a university and it was quite different like cheerdancing is different to cheerleading, it …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.
Plot: 9/10, the plot of the story is well formed and easy to understand. The …
Drillbit Taylor
This movie really got me laughing loud and hard. It is a very heartwarming comedy about a trio high school students who have had enough of getting bullied. They then decided that enough is enough and then they went all out to hire a bodyguard specially to keep …
