The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
The Five movie
The Five was a movie I happened to find while looking through adventure and fantasy films to order from Netflix. I had never heard of the actors or director but it sounded interesting so I gave it a try. The intro and credits portion was extremely long …
The Number 23
I keep asking one question. ” why?” Why did someone decide to write this screenplay? Why did Joel Schumaker agree to make this film? Why did a production company think this would make a good movie idea? Why would Jim Carrey follow up a career in more serious films …
Letters from a Killer movie
Letters from a Killer (1998) is a thriller that some still have a hard time watching, not because of the action on screen, but what happened off screen. It was while shooting this movie in California, that Patrick Swayze went head-first into a tree and almost killed himself. It …
The Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
I love The Daughters of Joshua Cabe. It was inventive and fun and a huge pleasure to watch. It’s a lighthearted western that while predicable is highly entertaining.
Buddy Ebsen is Joshua Cabe, and he needs family fast to protect his land, which under new homesteading laws is …
Up film
Up is another one of those animated films from Pixar that comes out every so often that we feel we’re too old for but end up watching anyhow. At least, that’s how I usually feel about animated films these days.
Up is about an old man, Carl Fredricksen who …
Illegal Tender movie
When I first saw this movie premiering one Saturday night I was a bit confused as to why I had not heard about it before when it was supposed to be released in theatres. It did not look like a indie movie to me, so that made me even …
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …
Abandoned and deceived
I watched this a couple years ago on lifetime movie network. I remember the movie really well though because it was so good. It is by far one of my favorite movies they play, if not my favorite. It’s about a woman that can’t get child support from her …
Streetdance Movie 3D (2010)
I haved loved past street dance movies like You Got Served and Stomp the Yard, so when I saw this particular one showing in the movies already, I decided to watch it. The movie itself is called Street Dance 3D but here there wasn’t a movie house that played …
The Rocketeer
When I was a teenager, i remember seeing the Rocketeer movie advertized. Though I wasn’t into that sort of stuff then, I was more busy trying to rebel from my parents and anything that resembled childhood, I was nonetheless intrigued about this film and wanted to see it. Though …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Movie)
Percy Jackson and the lightning thief is a movie derived from the book of the same name. I have been a fan of Rick Rodian’s Percy Jackson series ever since I knew of its exsistance and so when I heard the movie was out I was really excited to …
Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows movie
I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …
Monsters Inc. movie
I had a copy of this at home however I didn’t bother watching it at first since I really don’t like the title Monsters Inc. I thought it was one of those boring gruesome monsters stories I often see on television. One time I had nothing to do except …
Movie Reaping
I feel like this movie was too much like a remake of the Omen. It just had too much in common with it. I would have rather watched something different. In the previews it looked like it would be something different. I just didn’t care for the movie much …
Serendipity (2001)
John Cusack (Jonathan Trager) and Kate Beckinsale (Sara Thomas) star in this dramatic romantic comedy that is just phenomenal. The both meet a department store where they met each other on the issue of a pair of gloves. Dare I say, I just love Kate’s smile.
A mutual attraction is …
Transformers Animated Series - Soundwave Action Figure
The Soundwave action figure in the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is not one of the better ones, but he does have some good features. He sells for between $10 and $12 and you can find him in most toy stores. He is pretty easy to transform, …
Into The Blue Movie
This is one of my favorite movies, it features Jessica Alba and Paul Walker as a poor couple who gets on a job finding treasure, but there are a lot of syndicates who wants the treasure too and they’re now faced with dangers above and underneath the sea. This …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The Movie
I was not too fond of the fifth movie in the Harry Potter series that I was not really looking forward to the release of the movie version of the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But being a true-blue Harry Potter fan, I eventually saw the …
“Palermo shooting” movie
Seemed to be good. Wim Wenders, the desire to pay tribute to Bergman and Antonioni, Milla Jovovich and Dennis Hopper … Fans of punk certainly hoped for a successful role Campino. However, “Palermo shooting” not impressed …
Efforts to complicated reflective plot failed. Interspersed repetitive shares not fully understood, sometimes …
The Dark Knight
The newest movie in the batman franchise titled “The Dark Knight” is simply one of if not the best movie I have ever seen. From beginning to end it had me on the edge of my seat. In every scene that passed I only had one thought that …
The Third Man, 1949
The Third Man, 1949, is based on a novel by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton), an American author writing cheap westerns, comes to post-World-War-II Vienna. The city, devastated by bombings, is dark, dangerous, with crime running rampant. Martin was invited to Vienna by …
Movie Munich 2005
Munich the place where 1972 Olympics were held. And where eleven Israeli athletes were murdered, it was the Olympics of Black September (the terror outfit that carried out the brutal killings of innocent people).
The movie Munich tells us what happened after the terrorists were saline at the end of …
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House movie
I have always gotten a kick out of this comedy starring Cary Grant. It’s called Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and uses Grant’s comedic skills wisely. As the affable Jim Blandings, Grant is the common, everyday man who agrees with his wife that they have the …
Surrogates movie
The movie “Surrogates” has an interesting plot and premise with nearly everyone on the planet having a station that they connect to, which allows them to control an identical looking robot of them. The movie begins with action to keep the viewer interested and sets up a plot in …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
Watchmen
I was seriously pretty excited that Watchmen the movie opening is today in my country. And just now, I went to buy tickets to watch it with my boyfriend. We were quite disappointed in the end after watching. My boyfriend is an avid comic reader, and he …
Mall Cop movie
If you like funny movies, I suggest seeing Mall Cop. The story line is cute and there are great actors in it. Kevin James did a wonderful job on this film.
Paul Blart is a mall cop who is single and lives with his mother and daughter. …
TRAITOR, The Movie Jeffrey Nachmanoff
An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …
Sex and Breakfast
If everyone ever walks up to you on the street and offers you a movie about group sex that stars Macaulay Culkin, be nice, say no thank you and walk away quickly.
The reason I say this is, the movie likely being offered to you is the film Sex and …
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Following the happenings of Pitch Black, this movie continues the tale of Riddick, a criminal and killer the likes the universe is not ready for. The short stop on the dark planet that gave us an inside look of what Riddick is capable of is only a glimpse into …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
We ended up picking up the second Madagascar movie “Escape 2 Africa” last night and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The first one was OK but not the best movie ever and we all know sequels usually don’t live up to the original.
As it turns out, the second …
Ouija Board Movie
So the basic over view of this movie is supposed to be about a girl named Debbie who finds a ouija board in her house, and decides to play with it. She wakes up evil spirits in her house, who then end up murdering her. Her bestfriend, Laine, can’t …
School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …
Stage Door Canteen movie
Stage Door Canteen, a 1943 wartime motion picture, was a real place in New York City. This movie is chalk full of big time stars of the day. Close your eyes for a second and you might miss Judith Anderson, Tallulah Bankhead, Ray Bolger, or any one …
Reality Bites (movie)
Reality Bites reminded me quite a bit of The Blair Witch Project. Now that makes me smile because The Blair Witch Project hooked me from the start and made me think the movie was real. Reality Bites, on the other hand, did not make me think the same thing, …
The Movie Annie (1999 version)
I grew up with the Original Annie. I loved the movie and the “Tomorrow ” song still plays in my head from time to time. So when I saw the 1999 version on television, I decided to watch it. I had never seen it before and thought …
Orphan movie
Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …
Xiu Xiu Movie
Merely a fifteen year-old, Xiu Xiu, the “sent-down girl”, grows mentally and emotionally within a short period of 6 months. Through this film, we see a girl’s transition from dutiful soldier to pitiful victim.
Xiu Xiu, in the name of national defence, volunteered to join the army. However, she was …
Movie - Serendipity
Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …
Captain Blood, 1935
“Captain Blood” is based on a novel by Rafael Sabatini. Peter Blood (Errol Flynn), an honest British doctor, is accused of treason for treating the wounds of the rebels. To him, a wounded man is a wounded man, no matter what side he is on, and it is the …
Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …
The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
Little Lord Fauntleroy, 1980
The movie is based on a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Cedric (Rick Schroder), a nice, kind-hearted 7 year old boy, lives in the depression-era New York with his mother. They are poor but happy, trying to make the best of the hand life has dealt them. Cedric’s father, …
