The Wiz movie
This might be an old movie, but it is probably one of my absolute faaaavorites of all time! I have watched this movie at LEAST once a year since I was born, probably.
For anyone who does not know what the Wiz is, it is essentially the Wizard …
The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Since I have just reviewed the new movie “The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” I thought it would be a good idea to review its first part, “The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” released in 2003. The first movie is much better …
27 Dresses movie
There hasn’t been a lot of feel good movies that you can watch over and over again lately. When I saw 27 Dresses I was so excited because I finally found a newer movie that I could watch over and over if I so chose. The story line is …
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
I can remember hearing about this movie from a lot of people who went to my school a couple years ago right after it came out. All I could hear of was how good it was too, hilarious, dramatic, suspenseful and how I had to watch it. Therefore, since …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)
I love watching Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army) very much. And I think the character Hellboy or Ape, I think what he’s called is very adorable. This sequel is as best as the first one and in this part 2, there’s this Prince that has been resurrected and …

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 …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …
Korean Movie: Il Mare
As much as there are good movies, funny ones and scary movies from Koreans that we all love, I haave to say that there would always be an exception. For the first one, there is this movie that I took some time to download, it is called Il Mare. …
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
One of my favorite television series when I was in high school was a television series named “Jackass” which starred pranksters Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O. I used to stay up with or without my brother every Sunday night in order to watch it, and I found most …
Movie: Sukob
Another movie I am going to comment on was the movie of again, Kris Aquino. But this time, she was with Claudine Baretto, the former teleserye queen of Filipino TV. I remember watching this movie with friends (officemates) when it was still showing in the cinemas. Well it was …

Idiots & Angels, movie (2008)

Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
10,000 B.C.
I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
Nim’s Island
Don’t make the mistake to regard the movie “Nim’s Island” as just another movie for kids. This movie is ideal for all the family jam-packed with drama, romance and funny moments. Apart from providing us with a cute and entertaining story, “Nim’s Island” has got an A-List of actors …

This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …

Get Him to the Greek (movie)
I was never a fan of the actor and comedian Russell Brand, and always wondered what other people saw in him, because I just never thought that he was as hilarious as some people would make him out to be. However, after watching him play a cunning drug addict …
The Resident movie
If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.
There are few films that really discuss a new idea or shed light on …
It Takes Two movie
Mary Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen star in the movie It Takes Two. This movie reminds me a little bit of a classic Disney movie called the Parent Trap. Except that the man in this movie is a rich tycoon who made it big on making money from …

Flightplan
I watched Flightplan yesterday shown on the local TV channel and it is so good to see such a good actress Jodie Foster, acting once more.

Shawn of the Dead
It took a long time for me to watch Shawn of the Dead, because I thought it would simply be one of those stupid satires on horror movies, similar to Scary Movie and its sequels, and I am not very fond of those films. But, a few years ago, …
Borderline Cult (R, 2007) movie
If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …
The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
Rent movie
I was still in High School when the Broadway musical Rent became a success. I remember asking for the soundtrack for Christmas. It was one musical that I had always wanted to see but never got the opportunity to. Of course when I heard that Sony Pictures was bringing …
Meatballs
This movie was a perfect vehicle for Bill Murray, in the same sense as Caddyshack and What About Bob? Were. The only difference between those two films and Meatballs is that Meatballs had him in a more serious role, surrounded by goofballs who take up where Murray would have …
Ironman Movie
Ironman, new movie released on 2nd May 2008, one of best “machine” movie I ever see after Transformers. Since Ironman one of comic/superhero character, publisher need to create different story between others superhero such as spiderman,batman and superman. The difference is ironman not a super biological person but rather …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …
Meet John Doe movie
Meet John Doe is one of the classics from the golden age of movie making. It has an impressive cast headlined by Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. It is the superb acting that truly contributes to making this a standard in the sense of being one of …
Pretty Woman
I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …
Goodfellas (1990)
Goodfellas (1990) is a drama directed by Matrin Scorsese and is rated R by the MPAA.

Deadly Matrimony - Part 1 movie
From 1992, Brian Dennehy stars in Deadly Matrimony in which a woman is killed, prompting Dennehy’s character to reflect back to three years earlier.
The concept behind this movie is nothing new. It’s the successful businessman — handsome, confident, charming — who meets the beautiful and intelligent woman who …
The AmityVille Horror (2005)
I think The AmityVille Horror remake that was done in 2005 was pretty good. I mean most of the movie was just great and it scared the hell out of me. Now I think the best thing about the movie is that it shows you a lot of things that …
