Jeepers Creepers 2, horror film
This one really delivered, I thought. The first Creeper movie was great, but any fans might remember the Creeper had wings and in the first one we never saw him fly. Set the stage for this second helping of mayhem. Most of the horror takes place on a …

The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …
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 …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer somehow manages to drain out the glamour and the pomposity - sometimes even the fantasy out of the Superhero World.
Rise of the Silver Surfer seems to suffer from sequel-itis - the narrative isn’t as exciting, the story isn’t impressive. There’s practically no …
Forest Gump The Movie
If I am to rank my favorite films, Forest Gump will definitely find its place among the top 10. The movie was released back in 1994 and maybe most of you have watched it. Starring is Tom Hanks and the movie is directed by Robert Zemeckis. What I like …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind(2001) starring Russell Crowe won four Oscars and I believe they were well deserved.In my opinion it is the best movie I have ever watched as it documents the real life struggle of a mathematical genius with schizophrenia.John Nash is the lead character played by Russell Crowe …
Wrong Turn 2
I’m going to open this review with a plea to Hollywood. The next time you make a horror film, please make an effort to scare me. Don’t cut corners and produce a film that goes out of its way to show as much blood and gore as possible. That’s …
The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
The Diving Bell and The Butterfly is a french made movie about the true story of a frenchman who suffers a stroke and is totally paralyzed, except for his left eye. He used this left eye to eventually blink his whole autobiography. Wow. Amazing, right? And to …
Pride
Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.
The movie Pride is a perfect example of this.
Overall, Pride is an OK film. But, it’s the same film I’ve seen 20 times …
Hard-Boiled movie
A film by Hong Kong man John Woo about two police officers who are forced to work together for different reasons. Very similar to another film of his, The Killer. Woo uses a cinematic language this is very impressive in many ways, and very beautiful too. But it is …
Christmas Vacation 2 movie
In one of the odder sequels, we see Christmas Vacation 2, a made for TV movie that came out a couple of years ago. Although the original Vacation, part of the Vacation series had other movies follow it (such as the lamentable Vegas Vacation), this movie does not …

The Heartbreak Kid, 2007 romantic comedy film
The Farrelly Brothers have been releasing a lot of duds. Trying to resurrect themselves they decided to remake the 1972 classic comedy, which shares the same name as the remake. The Heartbreak Kid is not the next big comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, it will leave you with a …
The Golden Compass
I thought that the movie “The Golden Compass” had a wealth of potential. When I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, I thought it would have been something like “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”, however, when I watched it I realized …
Saw V
Saw V is the second movie in the series where James Wan had nothing to do with, this time they got a new director, David Hackl. The movie was released around Halloween again, a year after the last. While not as pathetic as Saw IV this film is pathetic, …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Strange that a movie running slightly more than an hour could capture my heart instantly. Check this movie out, Last Chance Harvey is a very wonderful one that you guys should not miss watching. I got some free passes due to my cellphone operator give-away points that I’ve …
Ploning Movie
It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.
And then along came Ploning.

Reflecting Skin
A hypnotic film with Viggo Mortensen about him coming home after a long time to take care of his younger brother. The Reflecting Skin is the closest thing to cinematic poetry I have ever seen. The boundaries between dream and reality is completely erased here and the only thing …
Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …

Wadjda (movie)
One of the reasons why I love Starz Cinema so much is because it sometimes brings my fix of foreign movies that I’m positive I will never see on any other channel that I have. Up to very recently, one of those was a movie made by Saudi Arabian …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …

Airplane movie
As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …

Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.

Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
