Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …
House Guest movie
“House Guest” was a movie I watched some years ago in my earlier years of high school. I can remember thinking at that time how I could have missed such a movie and wondering whether I should watch it or not since I had never found the African American …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …

The Secret of Nimh 2 is the sequal to the original Secret of Nimh.It is now focused on Mrs. Brisby’s son Timmy.The movie begins when Timmy begins to leave his family home to travel to the location of the rats of Nimh,Thorn Valley.He is sent to thorn valley to …
RV (Robin Williams) movie
When RV came out at the theaters, I avoided it like the plague. I like Robin Williams but I have been very disappointed by his comedies in the past.
After seeing it on DVD this past weekend, I was sorry it took me so long to see it.
I was always …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
Movie White Chicks
The movie White Chicks is a very funny one. I love this movie and would see it all over again. It’s very funny. The stars are the Wayne’s brothers. They were the white chicks. They got transplant and look like white chicks. The funny part is that they don’t …
All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …
Keeping Mum
Keeping Mum begins with a charming young lady, Rosie, traveling somewhere by train. She has a large trunk with her, and the trunk… leaks blood. The young lady is arrested; it turns out she has murdered her cheating husband and his mistress. She is charged with murder, announced criminally …

Are you the type of person who takes joy in basking in the sunlight at your local beach? If you are then this movie is just the thing you need to watch that will scare the dickens out of you each time you go to that favorite beach of …
Ghost Ship
If you want to see a scary movie, I would recommend renting the film Ghost Ship. My wife and I watched this film some time ago and she still refuses to watch it with me again. She’s not normally a person who gets scared by movies like this but …
Children of Men Movie
Children of Men is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. When I first read the plot of the movie it didn’t seem like a solid movie, but after watching it for just 2 minutes I have changed my mind. This is what a good action should …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
XXI Theatre
This XXI Theatre is opened in the most famous mall in Manado, Manado Town Square, or usually called as Mantos. For the first time it opened, XXI had just four studios but, as the Indonesian Movies gets booming, XXI expanded its movie studios to be six studios.
XXI has …
War of the Buttons (movie)
One of my absolute favourite movies to watch as a child was “War of the Buttons”. Funny enough though, I never actually knew the name of the movie since it was something that I had only seen playing on local television. This was alldespite the fact that I searched …
Meet the Robinsons
Walt Disney had a dream. His dream was to bring color and magic alive to children everywhere. Along the way he had to employ his motto of, “Keep moving forward”. That dream, that process, and that motto are what bring Meet the Robinsons alive. It takes us to a …

Blade,movie
The original and still the best. It caused alot of controversy and it did not disappoint. You couldn’t tell if Blade was the bad guy or the good guy…but has was Baaad. Blade is a vampire who hunts vampires…an interesting plot at best. The action is intense and believable. …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Episode 1.19: Storm Over Ryloth
“Storm Over Ryloth” is the first in a three-part episode revolving around the Republic’s attempt to free a Twi’lek populated planet from Separatist fleets led by Wat Tambor and the Techno Union who have invaded and taken over the planet.
This first part shows us the Republic battling through the …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Hang Em High
If you like Clint Eastwood’s western movies then you will like Hang Em High. It is one of his older westerns and is a very good movie to watch. We have several westerns in our library but this one is one of our favorites. It has alot of action, …

Movie Cars
I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …
Four Christmases movie
I was only able to watch Four Christmases on HBO and I have enjoyed watching it so much that it is now one of my favorite Christmas movies.
The movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as Kate and Brad, a couple who seemed to have everything going for them. …
Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …
Carol (2015 Film)
I have been an avid follower of the Oscars’ race since 2013, when I was rooting for Gravity (then my favorite film of the year) to win the Best Picture (which would have been the first for a sci-fi film). And since then, I followed and watched all the films …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Angel’s Fall film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts film, Angel’s Fall. So there’s this woman. She used to work in this restaurant cooking. One night a shooter entered the place and shot all of her co-workers, including her best friend. She was the only one left alive. Ever since then, this …

Movie: Coraline (2009)
I had a chance to watch Coraline a few days ago. I have always been enthusiastic about this movie since last year. Being a fan of Tim Burton’s films, I certainly had high hopes for movies with a similar theme. Coraline had a similar aura; dark, mysterious and enigmatic. …
Hide And Seek
Hide And Seek was shown on my local TV channel and if it’s acting by Robert De Niro, I always make it a point to watch. This movie also sees the little kid, Dakota Fanning (think she had acted with Tom Cruise as well), I give this story 10 …
Hetalia anime chapter 16
In the 16th chapter of Hetalia’s animated version we finally get to know China, and he will tell the story about how he met Japan and how Japanese adopted some of the Chinese’s customs and their writting too.
Even if explained like this, it might sound a little boring, it’s …
Terminator Genisys (science fiction action movie)
I stopped being a fan of the Terminator franchise some time in the nineties. I guess I just grew our of it all, but when I heard that another one would be released this year I began to reconsider and think about watching it. The newest problem though was that …
The Bridesmaids Movie
The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …
Kids in the Hall Season 2 DVD
I remember watching Kids in the Hall when I was growing up. We had a late night television station that ran the episodes in their edited form, and I always loved the show. The show was centered around a group of sketch comedians from Canada, and each had their …

This movie is about the fact that love can cross any border and still be strong enough to survive any storm, this is the movie of an African America named Flipper Purify, played by Wesley Snipes, and an Italian American known as Angie Tucci, played by Annabella Sciorra who …
Tokyo Story (1953 film) from Criterion Collection
I need to recover from watching too many Audrey Hepburn movies and TCM over cable television. I wondered why this film always made it to everyone’s list of favorite movies. In an effort to change my film source, I looked at some hard to find copies of …

Movie Waterworld
For some reason, my husband loves “Waterworld.” I love my husband, but I loathe and detest this film.
It’s hard to believe that this 1975 cinematic “messterpiece” was one of the most expensive movies ever made. Maybe they spent a lot of the money on the sets …
Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …
Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I had heard that this was a great movie, so I settled in to watch it with my boyfriend. This movie is incredibly slow. For the first like hour and a half, hardly anything happens, and Mr and Mrs Smith barely talk to each other. After an hour and …
Movie Peter Pan

I have adored Julia Roberts since Pretty Woman and Sleeping with the Enemy. I had seen Erin Brokovich when I was in my teens and although I enjoyed the movie, I did not really understood it. I had an opportunity to watch it during my own free time and …
The movie Monsters Inc.
I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.
It was because of those memories that when Monsters Inc …
Roll Bounce Bounces
I was really excited about seeing ‘Roll Bounce’ since I was a young teen in 1978 when the movie takes place.I wanted to relive the nostalgia of the era and get into the groove of the hot 70’s soundtrack, suffice to say, I wasn’t disappointed,I had a funky good …

Ever wondered if there are actually people living under the sea, breathing water as if it was air. A family of mer-people, unknown to the world above, they live in secret from the humans…as they deem humans to be very hostile creatures.
Disney takes you underwater for an epic animated …
