The Dark Knight
Even before it was shown, so much hype has revolved around The Dark Knight, the 2008 sequel to the critically-acclaimed Batman Begins. I’ve waited for this movie for a long time not just because I want to see the last full-length movie of Heath Ledger, but mainly because I’m …
Fool’s Gold
I think the collaboration between Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson is kind of cool and awesome, and in this movie, Fool’s Gold they collaborated once more in this title, Fool’s Gold. If you have forgotten the other movie which they have starred together, it would be ‘How to Lose …
Cruel Intentions
The movie “Cruel Intentions” was very much well received because it represent a new way of making movies addressed to the young generation. It includes a great cast of young rising stars involved in a movie which has the right mix between drama and romance.
On a more personal level, …
The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
Gladiator movie
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Gladiator at all, but the intensity of the drama can’t be ignored. In short, this is a movie about a much respected general to Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome, who is then condemned to execution by the emperor’s son, Commodus. The …
Ace of Sales (Taiwan Movie)
Aces of Sales is a Taiwanese drama comedy directed by Cho Li.
I’ve some time to pass before my appointment so I decided to watch a movie online. I don’t have anything in mind so I just pick one randomly. I don’t really know what to say of this film, it …
Beethoven the movie
I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …
Hook (1991 movie)

Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray, who in my opinion is the greatest comedian since Groucho Marx, appears in the film a journalist who has to relive a day over and over. Apparently there is something he does wrong in this did and he tries to figure out what it is, but as …
My Mom’s New Boyfriend (movie)
I am not usually a fan of the romance comedy genre of film, but when I heard about the plot of this film somewhere a few years ago, I decided that I wanted to watch it. However, I was a little skeptical about how enjoyable I would find it …

Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …
Leatherheads
Leatherheads is a comedy directed by George Clooney. He also plays the lead character. The movie is rated PG-13.
The movie is about football before it was popular, and what the players and teams had to go through to make it what it is today. It also shows how stories …
Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
Iron Man (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …
Fired Up (Movie) 2009
I really enjoy watching comedy movies. One day as I was surfing channels I was able to see the movie Fired Up in Star Movies.

DNANgel Episode 3 (Anime)
DNAngel episode 3 has Daisuke trying to rescue Riku after she mysteriously disappears.
This is a good episode, although it’s quite strange because of who the culprit is behind the kidnappings but I won’t spoil it for you. You’ll have to see it for yourself. The plot is …

Tangled (Animation)
My daughter wanted to watch this movie so much! She would beg me every day to bring her to the theater to watch this movie. She even did her same old puppy eyes so I had no choice but to say yes. So I went to the theater to …

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End
Pirates 1 and 2 were sufficient movies, but perhaps they were riding too much on the originality factor. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End really feels done before. With the same cast of characters, and dozens more, Pirates 3 seems like a 3 hour family reunion during …
What Happens in Vegas, romantic comedy film
It is usually a safe bet to put Ashton Kutcher in a movie and see big numbers. The same goes for Cameron Diaz. What Happens in Vegas didn’t exactly change the way we view comedy movies, but it was enough to earn almost a hundred million dollars in box …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is the sequel to the critically and commercially successful movie, Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock played the lead role in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous as well but the movie fails to impress the viewers who have expectations from the …
Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
50 First Dates
50 First Dates is a 2004 comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Adam Sandler plays as Henry Roth, a marine veterinarian, who meets Lucy Whitmore and gets her to agree to go on a date, the next day he discovers she doesn’t remember him at all, he …
Johnny English
Starring: Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English), Ben Miller (Bough) John Malkovich (Pascal Sauvage ), Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia)
I think the name of Rowan Atkinson itself attracted me to this movie. Having known him as that disgusting yet endearing Mr Bean and his absurd antics, he did not disappoint at …

Sherlock Holmes (2009 Movie)

K-Pax
I think K-Pax is a great movie. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges do a great job in this film. So the movie is about an man who all of a sudden shows us at an air port, and he claims to be from another planet. Most people think that …
Resident Evil Part 1
I have a week off from my office so I decided to watch DVDs. Among the video that I watched is this Resident Evil.
This movie is the first part of the trilogy. Definitely a good one and good start. The starts include Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez.
This movie is …
Farewell to Harry DVD

The movie itself is intriguing and focuses on the relationship of a writer and the owner of a hat …
Superhero Movie
When I saw previews to Superhero Movie, I wasn’t really sure whether it would be funny or not. From the previews, I thought it would just focus on known super heroes like Superman and Batman and find ways to spoof them; a formula that has worked on some subjects …
Brooklyn (2015 Film)
Brooklyn is one of my most anticipated films of 2015. Particularly because of the huge buzz it made when it premiered in this year’s Sundance Festival and every audience and critics who attended loved it very much!

A Thousand Words (movie)
I’m really not a huge fan of Eddie Murphy’s movies and so when the movie “A Thousand Words” came out I wasn’t really interested in seeing it. It took me a couple months of yearning for a proper comedy to watch and a little bit of boredom to see …
Aliens
Females kick butt in this 1985 follow-up to the eerie and moody Ridley Scott classic Alien. James Cameron was at the helm of this production and wisely tried to stay clear from making a carbon copy of Scott’s cult film, deciding to go for a full out action film …

Netflix versus Blockbuster
I prefer Netflix because I love being able to watch movies instantly online. I joined this site a few months at the $9.99 a month rate. I can usually get about 4-5 movies through the mail each month with this plan, if I return them within a day or two. …
The I in the Triangle
The I in the Triangle is the film of a lecture given by renowned author and conspiracy expert Robert Anton Wilson. I am a big fan of Wilson, so it is always nice to see another one of his videos. This is an older lecture given by …
