Movie Car Wash
I like to watch movies from the past because it’s a way for me to step into another era, get lost there, walk around and leave with a dialect and mind set unlike what’s heard these days. Sometimes I become nostalgic of the 70’s, even though I wasn’t born …
Spirited Away
I love animation movie. I just saw recommendations on this one and I decided to watch it on sidereel.
It’s an animation movie by Hayao Miyazaki. It is about a little girl named Chihiro, having to move to another city with her parents. On the way of …

Swiss Army Man (2016 Fantasy Comedy Film)
Few movies try to bring something new these days. Most of the time people flock to the movie theaters to see tired and unnecessary rehashes of old films or either comic book movies that have been made to death. Everyone wants a blockbuster with big names attached to them.
Movies like …

For the Love of the Game
When I was much younger I didn’t like the actor Kevin Costner since I didn’t understand most of his movies at the time. However, recently I have begun to respect him very much as one of the few very good actors so I was intrigued recently when I found …
Pirates 3: At World’s End
I am reviewing the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, called At World’s End. Okay, so the first movie was fantastic. The second movie was good. The third…terrible. What were those writers thinking? I am a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan, but I …

X-men Days of Future Past (2014 Film)

Eden Lake - (starring Kelly Reilly)
Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
New Moon (movie)
I am a Twilight saga fan, so I saw New Moon on the Saturday after it came out. I’d of course read the book and had seen all the previews, so I kind of knew what to expect. I’ve got to say that I actually liked it …
Igor (movie)
One of the animated movies that I was fortunate to watch earlier on this year was the movie “Igor”. To tell you the truth, I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it whenever it was first released not only because the trailer just didn’t interest me, but because …
Pacific Rim Movie (2013)

Paris When It Sizzles: A film by Richard Quine (1964)
In my fascination to the whole 60’s period, there couldn’t be a more concrete illustration of what it’s like to live in those days, other than movies created at that time. My own definition of a good time spent in front of the screen —“ is a combination …
The Lost Boys Movie
Every few months I get the urge to watch The Lost Boys again, and considering the sheer amount of movies I have, that’s saying a lot. I was only a kid when the movie first came out, and I didn’t have the chance to see it until I was …

However, I found she actually enjoyed …

For all those who enjoy watching romance movies, they must not miss out in watching “The Notebook”. This movie has a great story to tell about love and commitment that will keep you hooked watching it till the end.
What is interesting about this movie is that the two young …
The Gingerdead Man movie
First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …

Movie: Vampires Suck
The movie Vampires Suck is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It is a direct spoof of all the teen vampire movies and books that have been released due to the Twilight Saga phenomenon.
There are a lot of “in-jokes” for the fans, and …
The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …
Wimbledon (2004)
This movie is about tennis in all its glory. Nothing more, nothing less. They try to toss in a love story in it but that was dashed asunder on the rocks below as this movie failed to even grasp and hold you until the very end of the movie. …
The Pit (movie)
I’ll admit it, the only reason I bought the movie The Pit is the fact it was filmed in my home town of Beaver Dam, WI and I wanted to see how much of the town I recognized. And, to be honest, if it weren’t for the fact I …

Cadillac Records (R, 2008)
After hearing the hype about Beyonce being in this movie, I can’t say that I was itching to go see it. With all due respect to Beyonce, her acting abilities have left a little to be desired. In any event, I was surprised to realize that …

Pan’s Labyrinth (R, 2006) movie
What a dark and magical film this is. I had heard things about this movie. And as usual, I waited until the Oscar hype had died down before venturing out and renting it. I am certainly glad I did. This story, placed in 1944 revolves …
Latin Lovers movie
From 1953, Latin Lovers was a fun romantic comedy about a woman with a whole lot of money she didn’t really care about. Played by Lana Turner, Nora Taylor would rather be in love than deal with her $37 million dollars. Persuing her is confident Paul Chevron, …
