Blood Diamond
I have always love seeing Leonardo DiCaprio acting, and a DVD movie I have watched, is the Blood Diamond.
I don’t really understand when I watched this DVD movie. I know that Leo is helping his friend out to seek the diamond, as there has been some dirty dealings …
Lost Boys: The Tribe, vampire horror film by P. J. Pesce
It took over twenty years for a sequel to be made for the Lost Boys, one of the best vampire movies of our time. Instead of getting the proper wide theatrical release it deserved this movie was released on every format on video. Does this aspect of the movie …
The Imitation Game, movie
“The Imitation Game” has proven to be one of this year’s top contenders at the more significant film award ceremonies. Does the film, however, truly live up to its praise? The film explores the life of Alan Turing and his experiences in attempting to break the ENIGMA code of …
Knowing movie
I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Locked Up (2004)
Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this one even beats being caught with your pants down. This is a case of mistaken identity that caused an innocent man to be incarcerated in a highly securely penitentiary where he is charged for murder. He didn’t …
Goodfellas
Goodfellas is a very funny yet violent movie. I think the humor in it was just great. This is a mobster movie, and Joe Pesci is of course in it. Joe Pesci was great and did a good job of acting in the movie. Overall the cast was really good …
127 Hours: Movie
127 Hours is a film I thoroughly enjoyed upon first viewing, but I’m not quite sure it is a film that can be watched on repeat.
I liked the fact that it was based on a true story and loved the story itself; it’s such a testament to the man …
Pretty Woman (movie)
Okay, I know that many of you out there just love Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman is a love story and it is sweet. I will agree with that. But it’s a lame plot because really, how many rich men have to buy a prostitute in order to have a …

National Treasure Book of Secrets
We saw the sequel to National Treasure Book of Secrets during Christmas break. I like Nicholas Cage, and I enjoyed the first movie so of course we were going to go and see the second movie. This one was not as fast moving as the first, yet I …
Kingdom of Heaven movie
“Kingdom of Heaven” was the second film, a part from the lord of the rings trilogy in which I can remember watching the actor Orlando Bloom in the year 2005. At the time that the movie was released, I didn’t go to see it in theatres because I was …
Movie Graveyard painfully predictable
Now that I have digital cable with plenty of movie channels to choose from, my nightly ritual is finding a good movie to watch before bed.
Graveyard is not one of those films.
The 2006 movie takes place at an abandoned summer camp (of course) and focuses on a group of …
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead
My wife and I absolutely loved the 2001 movie Joy Ride. So, when we saw there was a sequel, we wanted to see it. However, when we rented it, we figured it probably would turn out not to be any good.
While the movie didn’t live up to the original, …

Dracula: Dead and Loving it
I’m a huge fan of Mel Brooks movies, so when I got a chance to see the film “Dracula Dead and Loving it” again, I had to take it.
As far as his movies are concerned, this isn’t going to rank as high as other films like Blazing Saddles or …
The Battle of Gettysburg movie short
Directed by Herman Hoffman, The Battle of Gettysburg was a movie short from 1955 that took viewers through the bulk of this long battle between the North and South in the Civil War.
Shows like this feel me with awe, and sometimes I cry just because the emotion of it …
Flightplan
I watched Flightplan yesterday shown on the local TV channel and it is so good to see such a good actress Jodie Foster, acting once more.
I know that this was a movie that was shown years back but somehow or rather, it is just so good to be …
A Beginners Guide to Endings movie
I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …
Manhunter movie
Michael Mann’s depiction of the story Red Dragon with Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter. This film was actually made before The Silent of the Lambs, the second film from the same novel series. Manhunter is made in a completely different style, very close to that colorful look of the …
Beauty and the Beast
Forever at the top in the world of animation, Disney broke even more ground with this lushly animated and wonderfully told new version of the classic french fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. So wonderous was this instant classic, that it was the first ever animated film to ever …
Justice League cartoon
“Justice League” is one of my favorite superhero cartoons of all times. I can still remember when the series was advertising to start begin aired on the cable channel Cartoon Network and thinking that I wasn’t going to miss it. I had always had some amount of interest in …

The movie Hoodlum was released in 1997. It has a strong cast consisting of Laurence Fishburne, Tim Roth, Andy Garcia, Vanessa Williams, and Cicely Tyson. The story is set in Harlem in the 1930’s during the depression. As we all know the depression was a hard time for families …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
Believe it or not, even though 2001 was full of comments about Bridget Jones’s Diary, I only just recently saw it for the very first time. I’ve been curious about it, though, so I went into the viewing full of wonder over whether or not it, and Renee …
Drillbit Taylor movie

Phone Booth Movie
Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …
Disturbia
Shia LaBeouf starreer Disturbia is a really well directed thriller movie. I recently watched the movie on DVD and I must say I loved it very much. The movie had all the elements in a right mixture and this makes it a very good thriller movie. The best thing …

Flashdance
“Flashdance” was a popular movie released in the early eighties. I think of it as a classic since even now from time to time people still make pop culture references to the movie and some of the most famous scenes in it. Another one of the things that made …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …

Four generations are shown in Taken of three different families over …
Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Many movies have made me laugh, but harold and kumar brought it to a new level… it made me cry… from laughter.
This movie has some of the funniest scenes I have ever seen. The story is that two friends Harold and Kumar, get the munchies and they want to …
The Curios Case Of Benjamin Button
When I went to see this movie I was excited, it looked interesting and I thought it would be funny, something happy for the long and often depressing holidays. The movie kept me interested, but just barely, I should have just stopped watching it right away, but I kept …
Bedtime Stories movie
I love to watch light-heart, funny and humorous movies along with my family, it has been two months when I watched this movie for the first time, and I still love to watch this movie whenever I get time. This movie uses a lot of imagination to create …
Prancer movie
Even though I was burned out on Christmas movies, I did spend a great deal of time Christmas Eve watching them with my family. One of those movies was the film Prancer. And, after seeing that movie I definitely was ready to turn them off.
Prancer is an OK film. …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
There aren’t many movies that I’m willing to spend the price of admission on. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull is one of the few I am.
Quite simply, this movie is awesome. If I could afford it, I would go back again and again. I don’t …
Saving God movie
Saving God staring Ving Rhames, Dean McDermontt, and Ricardo Chavira is a story of salvation as well as reformation. Ving Rhames stars like Armstrong Cain, a reformed murderer who has simply gotten out of prison following a fifteen year sentence. He has become a man of God whilst locked …
Ocean’s 13
I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …
Bean (Movie)
For those who have watched Mr Bean’s show once you will realize how much the situation in this movie is an invitation to disaster: a plane ride for the United States (heavens, Mr. Bean in an airplane, remember how he was in a mini car) to go to a …

An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …
The Artist’s Circle
The Artist’s Circle is a small, artsy independent film that stars Michael Shanks, most known for his role as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. In this short drama from 2000, Shanks plays ‘the artist’. He’s promised his critics a masterpiece that they won’t forget. Among the …
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 …
The Tower of London
The Tower of London with Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, and Vincent Price.
When I saw the list of this all star cast, I felt compelled to make this a must see film. Especially since I have always enjoyed watching Vincent Price ply his trade. …
The Damned movie
A story that focuses on rich german people during the World War II and how naive they were. Director Luchino Visconti is known for his long epic-style films, and this one is not an exception. The narrative is slow but yet very engaging. Visconti gives his audience a lot …
House on Haunted Hill Movie
The original House on Haunted Hill was a movie that I’ve wanted to see for a long time. I’m actually a big fan of the remake and I think Vincent Price was a phenomenal actor, but I just never got around to seeing the original movie. The original has …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …
Sublime Movie
Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …
