Movies Reviews
The Searchers
The Searchers, directed by John Ford, is a classic for all to see. This movie also stars John Wayne and you just can’t find star power like that anywhere else. The movie is about Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his nephew, not by kin, Martin Paulie (Jeffrey …
V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta is based on a graphic novel which I had read prior to seeing the movie. I loved the comic book and was nervous going into the movie because I didn’t want to see these characters I love, not done justice. Well, justice they were …
Underworld movie
I came to this movie with low expectations. I remembered reading unfavorable reviews of it when it was out in theaters. But I actually think it’s a good movie if you’re able to accept it for what it is - a fantasy movie about vampires and werewolves. …
Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …
Dinosaur Island Movie
Last night we had an early family movie night and ended up watching the film Dinosaur Island. At the time, I figured it was a movie our daughter would enjoy and was just willing to suffer through it for her sake. But, it turned out to be a pretty …
Inside Man
When I first saw the preview for Inside Man, my excitement level wasn’t as high as it is expected to be with a movie that has two of my favorite actors ever, Clive Owen and Denzel Washington (also I believe that Spike Lee is an underrated director). Nothing …
Iron Man
At first I said to myself…”This movie is gay”, but then i recived some tickets to the cinema, so i went to see it…I was amazed. I don’t know if the cinema ambiance or the movie itself gave me this impression but I think this is THE BEST movie …
Archipelago (movie)
I love watching independent films, especially ones from countries around the world. Therefore, what this means is that I sometimes go searching for new ones and get excited whenever I hear of one that’s really good. Well, recently I’d been hearing a lot about an independent film named …
The Missing movie
The Missing is a movie about a family reconnecting and saving one member of the family from prostitution. The actors in this movie are Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, and Evan Rachael Wood. One of the best things about this movie is that it has great characters/actors. Another thing …

The Princess & The Warrior (R, 2000) movie
“The Princess and the Warrior” is truly a film that you will not mind reading the subtitles on. As a matter of fact, you may find that you’ve forgotten that this film is in German. Franka Potente stars in this film as a psychiatric nurse …
The Tourist movie
This movie is about Angelina Jolie going to Europe and a lot of men watching. Men who repeatedly insisted to call her Elise Ward. I never understood why, the film is about Angelina Jolie that goes to and through Europe and the following are watching her: French police, the …
Anything Else movie
Anything Else stars Woody Allen, Jason Biggs, Christina Ricci, Danny DeVito, And Stockard Channing.
There is the standard sarcastic dry humor which earmark Woody Allen movies, except that Jason Biggs delivers most of the lines. The story is told by Biggs, a struggling Comedy Writer in …
Miss Galaxy 5000
If there is one thing that makes me really enjoy Tripping the Rift, it is the Dark Clowns. They are the best thing this series has going for it, and episodes which center around them are generally much better than the others. This one is no exception, …
Pay it Forward (movie)
A movie that I can remember impacted the way I felt about life for years was called “Pay it Forward”. I’m not exactly sure when it was released, but I remember that the first time I watched it was when I was in high school and I had seen …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera was the best musical that I have ever watched. The music was beautiful, tantalizing, mesmerizing, and magical. The costumes were perfectly fit in for the theatre at that time, and the sets were expertly built and designed.
I loved this movie. I have watched it …
Pointman movie
Jack Scalia stars in Pointman, a TV movie that led to a TV series of the same name. Scalia portrays Constantine ‘Connie’ Harper, a man who goes to jail for allegedly stealing money from an HMO. He’s innocent, of course, and he knows his corporate employers are …
Tequila Sunrise movie
From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.
Now it’s possible that …
Chuck Vs the Third Dimension
I’m not sure what the problem was, but the three d glasses which were made available for this episode but they didn’t work all that well. I suspect that I sit closer to my TV than most people, so I’m going to assume that was it for now.
The plot …
Flight To Mars DVD
Flight To Mars is one of the few SF “classics” I knew about and was looking forward to checking it out as it was produced in the early Fifties when the genre was “taking off”, but I was unable to see until I bought the Image Entertainment DVD. Sorry …
War
War, starring Jet Li is a movie about gangs based in San Francisco, California. The movie starts with FBI agents trying to capture the Rogue, Jet Li.
This movie has many action scenes and some of the fights can be a little gruesome. What more can you ask in an …
Cop Out Feature Film
This movie made me sad to watch. How far has Bruce Willis fallen that he does this kind of movie? I get why Tracy Morgan was happy to make this film, but Bruce could do so much better. The action was nice, it was not …
Bend it like Beckham (2002)
I think this is the very first movie I saw that starred Keira Knightley and trust me; it wasn’t all that great to launch her career as a serious Hollywood actress. This movie is based on a girl football oops, my bad soccer team and the trials that they …
Movie: Elf
The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.
I have seen this Will Ferrell Movie at least a dozen times now and, like most Christmas classics, it is a movie I just cannot …
Movie Inkheart
I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …
American Honey (2016 Drama Road Film)
Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
The countdown to the end has begun for Harry Potter fans around the world. My family and I saw “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” a couple weeks after release, and couldn’t be more pleased. Unlike the previous films where the screenwriters and producers left out major …
The Rescuers (1977)
Disney’s The Rescuers premiered on June 22nd, 1977 and quickly became one of the most popular films of the year, right in the footsteps of Star Wars in the United States and outgrossing it in many European countries. The film tells the story of Bernard and Miss Bianca, …
Chronicle (Movie )
First off, I’m going to say although I don’t absolutely love the found footage genre, I absolutely without a doubt loved Chronicle. Of course I had my problems with it but at the end of the day it was a really good movie. My favorite thing about this film …
blockbuster .com
I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …
Bratz Kidz Sleepover Adventure
My daughter absolutely loves the Bratz. It doesn’t matter if it’s a doll or the latest movie, she needs to have it.
When Bratz Kids Sleepover Adventure came out on DVD, I was a good parent and kept my promise to rent it for her. Big mistake.
The movie has …
Nosferatu
Nosferatu is such a cool, classic movie. We are talking black and white, 1929, horror at its best. Nosteratu, if you don’t know, is a vampire. He’s a Dracula, but not Dracula. Nosferatu is a silent film and what is so very cool about it is the looks, the …
Leroy & Stitch movie
I’m always glad when it’s my daughter’s turn to pick a movie because I know I’m usually going to find one that we will all enjoy.
Watching Leroy & Stitch last night is a perfect example.
In what I think is going to be the final sequel to the original Lilo …
Last Chance Harvey
Strange that a movie running slightly more than an hour could capture my heart instantly. Check this movie out, Last Chance Harvey is a very wonderful one that you guys should not miss watching. I got some free passes due to my cellphone operator give-away points that I’ve …
Pirates of the Carribean : At worlds end
I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.
The movie opens with Elizabeth Swann ( Kierra Knightly) and Will Turner ( Orlando Bloom) must rescue Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones Locker.
This is successful when they go …
V for Vendetta (2005)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …
Jane Bhi Do Yarron (JBDY
JBDY is an excellent black comedy made by Kundan Shah in the early 80s. The Director is inspired by Chekov, ad the script has been influenced by the chekov factor as well. The story is about two armature photographers, that are looking to make their living, and falls I …

Movie: Monster in the Closet
My wife and I were in the mood for a horror movie the other night but, since we both were kind of tired and wouldn’t enjoy some of the blockbusters we had at our disposal, we ended up watching something from the 1980s that we thought would be a …
White House Down Movie
The U.S. population is very interested in stories about the presidential institution. The avid moviegoers will effortlessly think of at least fifteen titles in which the U.S. president deals with incredibly difficult situations, getting away with just a mild shock. Paradoxically, the …
No Country for Old Men movie
It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …
Movie 21
This movie is one of my favorite. Any person that enjoys the movies about bank robbery and hacking type of movies will truly love this film. I have always enjoyed gambling and like many individuals have tried to beat the casinos by trying many different systems. This movie tells …
Be Kind Rewind dvd
I watched Be Kind Rewind last week starring Jack Black and Mos Def. I had high expectations of this comedy for some reason, I guess the previews just made it look like a great film. As I was attempting to stay awake thru the movie, I kept thinking”No its …
Tangled 3D Movie
I’m a big fan of Disney animated movies, even the ones that are about the so-called Disney Princesses. So when I saw the trailed for Tangled, Disney’s 50th animated film, then you can just imagine how excited I was. After watching the movie in 3D recently, all I can …
Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
Redbox red movie vending machine
Redbox, for those that don’t know what it is, are those big red movie vending machines that can be found at most Wal-Marts, Walgreens, gas stations and McDonalds. They’re basically everywhere. Sometimes you’ll find two of them in one location if they get a lot of business. Whoever invented …
The West Wing Final Season
This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …
