Movie Cloverfield (2008)
As many others, my first experience with Cloverfield was during the opening set of previews for last year’s summer blockbuster Transformers. The movie was drenched in the bloody veins of terror, depicting some… thing laying waste to New York like with all its ability. Shrieks of people pierced the …
Dawn of the Dead
What many people do not understand is that there are two versions of “Dawn of the Dead”. There is the one from 2004 which I have based my review on, and then, there is the one from 1978 which I have not watched. Dawn of the dead (2004) …
Rec
I watched this before, titled Rec and it was during 2007, I think. Pretty darn scary, if you ask me. Remember The Blair Witch Project..? Well, it is something like it, but different in a way.
You will get to see a recording or some sort …

Spider Man 3
Spider man 3 script was poorly written,too many characters,forgot what story to tell.At the same time,movie manages to entertain and you will see breath-taking fight scenes,rich visuals etc., You feel that many scenes are selected from other movies or previous spider man movies.
Some spoilers

The Butterfly Effect
I didn’t watch the Butterfly Effect when it first came out. It looked somewhat interesting, however the fact that it starred Kelso from That 70’s Show sort of turned me off. I mean, it is Kelso we are talking about, who wants to watch him in a …

The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
The Longest Day movie
The Longest Day has always been an amazing recounting of D-Day, the sixth of June. It’s probably my favorite of all of the World War II movies that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a ton over the decades. The stellar cast of The Longest Day goes a …

Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …

“Up in the Air” (2009 Film)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable. However tightly the second movie concluded, however finally that last act seemed; box office gain would always dictate another movie would be made. Unfortunately, Terminator 3 neither provides a worthy successor to its predecessors, …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …
Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen
I am not a transformer fan. This is the reason why I turned down two invites to watch this newest transformer movie. But when I was asked (not invited) by my younger sister to go with her and her boyfriend, I cannot do anything but to go with them …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …
Angels and Demons- movie
Before listening to others opinions and reading reviews of the movie, I freed my mind from everything that could have stopped me from enjoying this movie. I walked into the theater with unbiased mind, hoping the best. I had been waiting for the release dates of this movie from …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
Crimson Peak (2015 Gothic Horror Movie)
I love Gothic Horror movies, Guillermo Del Toro, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston and so it was a given that I definitely had to see the movie Crimson Peak once it was released. I read both good and bad reviews about it, and so I wasn’t totally sure what to …
The Wedding Singer
“The Wedding Singer” is definitely one of the movies mostly related to Adam Sandler. Personally I was very much looked forward to watch this movie after I saw the trailer, however in the end it failed to reach my expectations. I expected a funnier Adam Sandler like in the …
Jack and the Beanstalk movie
I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.

‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ movie
After the fourth movie, I was convinced that the “Paranormal Activity” franchise was dead. I liked the first two, but after that, the formula wore thin and they didn’t have anything new to bring to the table.
Enter this “spin-off” that follows another family as they are …

Pan’s Labyrinth
When I saw Pan’s Labyrinth, I was expecting a story about a little girl retreating into her elaborate fantasy world. I would have been happy with just that, but Pan’s Labyrinth was so much more.
In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Ofelia and her mother, who …

Killing Midnight-Joe Dorsey &Ryan Alosio

Iron Man 2
I went in to Iron Man 2 with pretty low expectations. Perhaps it was the fact that the studios have had a very hard time matching the successes of the first comic book movies, and I was simply carrying my disappointment at —˜Spiderman 2’ and —˜X-Men 2’ into …
