Real Mean
I have seen John Ritter quite a few times on television but never took the time to watch one of his movies. That changed this past weekend when I watched his film Real Men. And, I have to say, I was very impressed.
First off, I want to say that, …
The Handmaiden (2016 Foreign Film)
I have been longing for this holiday break because my movies watchlist is getting longer and longer. I have more than 50 films to watch out of passion but as soon as the school year starts again next month, I may have trouble watching them all.
Last night I chose to …
21 and Over (movie)
The first time that I even found out about the movie “21 and Over” had to be when I was watching something else in the theatre and I saw it advertise in the Coming Attractions. Even then it didn’t seem like it was going to be very good, but …

The Incredible Incredibles movie
My favorite Walt Disney produced movie to date, has to be The Incredibles. How anyone could not find sheer enjoyment and entertainment while watching this unique and colorful flick, I would not know. It is such a cool idea for a movie if you ask me! …
Anime: Elfen Lied
If the audience does not mind gorey/violent scenes, then this anime is actually quite enjoyable. This anime features diclonius, a type of mutant human with two horns, living amongst human beings. They are constantly shunned because of the unusual appearance and abilities. They have invisible arms called ‘vectors’ that …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
The Tale of Despereaux - (animation starring Matthew Broderick)
I love The Tale of Despereaux! I find it super cute, amazing and I love the voice-overs of Emma Watson as Princess Pea, and the main voice of Despereaux by Matthew Broderick. Other popular voice-over cast are also present and I truly love the storyline, but the movie …
Movie Election
Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …
Did You Hear About the Morgans? (Movie)
Hugh Grant is one of my favourite actors of all time, so I was looking forward to his latest movie, Did You Hear About the Morgan’s? to come out in DVD. I had heard lots of rather negative reviews about it, so I wasn’t expecting anything more than his …

50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …
Next movie
The movie Next is what I am reviewing. It stars Nicholas Cage, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Biel.
I found this movie so much more then an action-adventure file. There was also drama, and a love story mixed into it.
It starts out with the main character Chris Johnson …
George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) Film
George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …

Hard Rain movie
The idea of Hard Rain is quite simple: a storm has caused a whole town to be overflooded which results in chaos for an armored truck guard played by Christian Slater. He is forced to hide the money from his truck not to risk it getting stolen, but is …
Singin’ in the Rain musical
Singin’ in the Rain is a really good musical from 1952 that continues to thrill audiences all these years later. People remember this movie and the awesome dance sequences staged by star Gene Kelly, who also director along with Stanley Donen. I always think about Patrick Swayze …

“Get Him To The Greek” (2010 film)
I’ll say right up front that I don’t much care for Russell Brand, and although his performance as British rock star Aldous Snow in 2008’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was a good and humorous counterpoint to sad-sack lead Jason Segel, in general I find him sort of irritating-his hosting gig …
Battle Los Angeles: Movie
Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …
A Night to Remember movie

Love & Death on Long Island
Love & Death on Long Island is a very funny DVD movie that I don’t recommend at all. And when I said funny, it is not that feel-good funny types. Instead, it is more like the worst off funny kind that made my stomach churned while watching. …
Pretty in Pink
The film Pretty in Pink has been out for a long time now but tonight was the first time I had a chance to sit down and actually watch it. It was supposed to be a glimpse into the life of a teenaged girl in the 1980s. It was …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …
The Duchess movie
I just finished watching this movie at home and I should say that I like the performance of Keira Knightley who does the led role of Georgina Spencer Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. I think Keira did a marvellous job because she looks very elegant and beautiful in …

Sabrina
Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …
Freaks movie
The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together. The so called freaks are people with strange looks, everything from midgets to people with small heads. These people were authentic, …
Eastwood Mall Cinema 5 Quezon City

The Lucky One Movie
After hearing only dismal things about this movie in its reviews, I decided to watch it for myself and found that the people who were speaking negatively were not that far off. The plot of the movie is good. Young man finds picture of a woman in war that …
Live Free or Die Hard
There are movies that make you say, “that was good.” There are movies that make you say, “wow.” However there are very few movies that make you say, “Wow, that was good.” That’s exactly what I said when I finished watching Live Free or Die Hard. The movie follows …
The Amazing Spider Man 2 movie
When the first series of Spiderman movies came out in the early 2000’s, my husband and I were quick to go see them. However, after the first two it became more of a run on series rather than a well thought out movie series. It was my exhaustion …

Dr. Dolittle
Dr. Dolittle is a family comedy movie starring Eddie Murphy in the title role. It is a very nice movie and though it appears as kid’s movie, it has universal appeal to it. Eddie Murphy did a great job as Dr. Dolittle. The story starts with a scene from …
Movie Next
Overall this was an alright movie. It has Nicolas Cage in it who plays a guy who can see what happens in the future, but only 2 minutes ahead of time other than this girl who he meets…he has seen her way before 2 minutes. Jessica Biel plays that …
