Influential films and programmes come in all shapes and sizes, ones that inspire you to go out and make videos yourself. I find there are three categories of influential media: first are the ones that you’re told changed how the media industry works, like —˜Citizen Kane’ or —˜Birth or …

This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …

To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …

It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …

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 …

I haven’t seen this movie for years until I saw it on television again late last year. It has a similar name to another movie called “The Deep End” and is not to be confused with it as they both have two completely different plots. Nevertheless I think that …

Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …

Pixar has set a whole new standard in animated films. Ice Age is not a Pixar movie. However, I stilled enjoyed it greatly despite not having the Pixar tag on it. Ice Age is great animated movie in my opinion. It is very funny throughout the …

Since The Parent Trap II worked with viewers, Disney decided to try it again with The Parent Trap III. My argument up front is that to do so, they had to mess with Susan’s story. In PT II, she was happily married. Here, she’s single again. …

Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …

One of the most astounding films I have watched in recent months is The Cure directed by David Gould. This film unveils a dangerous thought that has probably crossed some of our minds, if not all, at some point in our lives. Has the cure for cancer been discovered …

I simply enjoyed watching the actress Diane Keaton in her role of clingy and over protective mother with the name of Daphne Wilder in the movie “Because I Said So”. The Razzie Award thought that she over exaggerated, however for me that her interpretation in this movie is simply …

I had seen Paul Mooney’s other comedy DVD and was quite pleased. Ordinarily, I like Mooney’s brand of sarcastic humor, and his blatant and frank opinions about the state of society. However, this DVD, which delves deeply into issues concerning white people (and their differences from other …

I’m not really much of a sports movie fan. I don’t really like “Remember the Titans”. I didn’t even watch “Invincible”. I was never interested in watching “Rudy”. The only sports movie I really really loved was “D2: The Mighty Ducks”. Then along came “Shaolin Soccer”. This comedic masterpiece …

Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …

I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …

Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …

This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …

I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …

So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …

The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …

A not so well known film with the fabulous Marx brothers. This time they hide on board a luxury boat as free passengers, and the misunderstandings quickly start to grow.
What is interesting about these brothers are the roles divided. Groucho is the verbal part, and in courting to many …

The bizarre Addams family awaits their beloved uncle Fester to return from his travels. What they don’t notice when he arrives is that crooks have taken his identity for mysterious purposes.

Richard Harris in one of his very best performances as an irish farmer who is devastated when his old lands he worked on for all his life is sold on an auction by an ignorant widow. There are also several other great acting performances next to Harris, both John …

Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …

The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …

The Swoop action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is pretty cool but has a few negatives as well. I recently purchased him at Walmart for $11.99. As Transformers fans will know, he is one of the Dinobots - robots that transform into dinosaurs. …

From 1962, That Touch of Mink pairs Doris Day with the debonair Cary Grant. For me, this has always been somewhat of an odd couple, but it made for a good motion picture, never the less. There certainly are a lot of reasons to enjoy this entertaining …

Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers.
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …

this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …

If you are not familiar with the story of Joseph (John) Merrick, known as The Elephant Man, this movie will come as a shock. Based on a true story of a man with severe physical deformities, it is often painful to watch. John Hurt plays the unfortunate Merrick. Heavy …

The new Bring It On movie is now All or Nothing because it came to DVD without the theartres part. The DVD came out on August 8 2006 as a new movie to those cheerleader fans. You already know the plot of the movie, so what about the special …
