Baby Mama, comedy film
From the man that brought us the Austin Powers movies comes a new kind of comedy. Well Baby Mama isn’t really a new kind of movie; it is a comedy movie that has two leading ladies and no one else. Baby Mama might be the best movie from both …
The movie P.S. I Love You

The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …
Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …
The Passion of Christ
I love Jesus, I really do, and so when I heard that the movie, the passion of Christ was about to be shown in Singapore, I was excited, truly, I was. I not only wanted to watch it, I wanted everyone else in my life to watch it, every …
Wedding Crashers
I saw this movie when it was in the theaters with my best friend. Almost everyone in the theaters seemed to enjoy it, we laughed and laughed. Overall it was a funny movie and entertaining for the most part. I watched it again when it came out with my …
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 …
Movie 50 First Dates
I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.
“50 First Dates” includes some …

The Change Up Movie 2011
Very recently I just saw the movie The Change Up. The theme of this movie is literally switching lives and switching bodies. If you have seen the movie the Kid with Tom Hanks or Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, pretty much this is exactly the …
Ice Age movie
A very “cool” 3D movie from Disney which depicts the survival of prehistoric animals from the changing Earth as it underwent the process of continental drifting, Ice Age is the most fun movie that I have seen (again) lately. As with all other movies that blew my mind, I …

Halloween film
This movie defines the word fear. Very rarely am I scared by movie long after I have seen it. But Halloween did that to me. This is THE scariest movie I have ever seen. This movie is proof that you don’t need young teenage girls …
Passengers 2016 Film (PG-13)
Passengers is a 2016 film by Sony that stars Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Depending on the preview I saw before it was released, it either came across as a sci-fi adventure or a love story that happened to be set in space. My wife and I recently saw the …
Amazing Grace by Michael Apted
Amazing Grace by director Michael Apted is based on the true story about William Wilberforce and his quest to end slavery in Britain. Before watching this movie, I knew nothing about slavery beyond the United States. Heroes such as Wilberforce were unknown to me. This movie, with enthusiastic acting …
Delta Farce movie
I have to admit, I always liked Larry the Cable Guy as a stand-up comedian but his movies, though somewhat dumb, are pretty good.
The movie Delta Farce is definitely a good example of this.
Larry, Bill Engvall and D.J. Qualls play a group of army reservists who are called up …
The House Bunny
When I got the movie The House Bunny, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect from it. On one hand, it looked like it would be a cute, funny movie. On the other, it looked like it might be pushing the limits a bit and could simply be …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding Movie
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is probably one of the most hysterical movies that I have ever seen. I watched this movie on Fox the other night and I really enjoyed it. It was the first time that I had ever seen a movie with Nia Vardalos and …
Up (Animated Movie by Pixar)
Up is a great animated movie by Pixar. I must say that there is a great content in this movie and that the old man and the little kid is really hilarious. It is not really that funny, but if you watch it closely and watch how the …
Pollyanna Movie
Pollyanna is a classic, a Disney, feel-good movie with a message to think positively no matter how hopeless life may get. Make lemonade from the lemons is essentially what Pollyanna is about.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …
IMDB.com
IMDB.com (stands for Internet Movie Database) is, in my opinion, one of the best movie-related sites. You can find information about virtually any movie on it, even those that are no longer available. You can search the database for a specific movie title or a specific actor. Each actor …
Lady in the Water (PG-13, 2006) movie
This movie got a really bad rap. I think that M. Night Shyamalan makes some really great films. I knew that this movie would not be “scary” because of the things that were said before it was released. But what people have to understand about this …

Touch of Evil movie
Next to Citizen Kane probably the most successful film by Orson Welles. A Mexican agent played by Charlton Heston gets involved in some kind of conspiration, and something leads him the think the man behind it all is a police detective played by Orson Welles himself.

Life as House
The very first time I saw the actor Hayden Christensen was in the movie “Life as House” where he portrayed a disturbed and out of control teen named Sam. I watched the movie a total of five times after that as I fell in love with everything from …
Cake
I truly love this DVD movie, Cake. If I’m not mistaken, this movie was released during 2004 or 2005 and it starred the very gorgeous Heather Graham.
She played the character of Pippa McGee and she is a very charming and extremely funny lady and I always love …
Storm Warning Movie
Storm Warning is easily one of the best horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time, which is ironic considering that it isn’t really a horror movie, at least not in the traditional sense. If a magazine were to review this movie they would probably say it falls …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is not my favorite of the Harry Potter movies. Unlike the other 4 films out on DVD, this one feels like it’s too long. I first watched this movie on …

500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
Destroying Angel movie
I am reviewing the movie, Destroying Angel, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles. This movie was made in 2001, was produced by Brian True-May, and was based off the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In this film, poison is the key. When a local man is found murdered in the …
The Mist (2008)
Stephen King has had many of his novels and short stories adapted into film versions, but perhaps none have been as disturbing and tragic as The Mist.
In the classic Stephen King novella, first released in the book Skeleton Crew, a town faces terrifying creatures that come out of a …
Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …

Grown Ups Movie
Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …
The Devil and a Guy Named Webster
The premise of this episode is pretty much laid out in the title: The Devil and a Guy Named Webster. It is a fusion of the classic tale: The Devil and Daniel Webster, but instead of the famous American orator we get Emmanuel Lewis (best known as star …
Bambi movie
This is a Disney movie made back in 1942. It’s about a fawn who experiences life in all its goodness and sadness. The fawn’s name is Bambi.

Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
Cheers for Miss Bishop movie
Cheers for Miss Bishop is a classic film from 1941 which starred Martha Scott in the title role of Ella Bishop. My problem, and pretty much my only problem, is that while the makeup was good, it didn’t quite hook me. We see Scott transform from a …
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …
