Batman v Superman Movie (spoilers)
I Just got back from Dawn of Justice and a lot of controversy has happened with reviews so I thought I’d give mine. I’m just a normal guy who is neither a DC or Marvel fanboy, I like comics.
So this movie is directed at people who read comics. Alot …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
Sliding Doors (1998)
I had only caughts bits of ‘Sliding Doors’ before and although those bits never struck me as very exciting, I sat down to watch it last night - I thought I would give it a chance. The concept of this film was very appealling to me as the …
The Back Up Plan 2010 movie
The Back-Up Plan starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin has a catchy subtitle: fall in love. get married. have baby Not necessarily in that order. The thing is, that because movies have to happen in less than a few hours, and the time span of this particular movie has …
Kissin’ Cousins movie
I adore Elvis Presley and always have, but at the same time, I’ve felt sorry for him. That probably sounds crazy, but he was too loyal for his own good. It was his loyalty to the infamous Colonel Parker, his so-called manager, that resulted in Elvis starring …
Mistress of Spices
Mistress of Spices is a very boring and baseless movie I have seen in recent times. I watched it on HBO and I really didn’t like the movie from the very first reel. It is the story of Tilo played by Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai who has the power …
Chinatown Kid (1977 movie)
When compiling a list of great martial arts movie stars several names are almost always expected to top that list, Bruce Lee is always present, as is Jackie Chan, and the same can likely be said for Jet Li. But, one name that is almost always painfully overlooked is …
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 …
Star Wars movie
Quite honestly, I was a huge hold out to the entire Star Wars thing. The 1977 movie had been out for months, close to a year I believe, before I finally caved in and went to see it. By then, seats were plentiful. I must admit …

A Smoky Mountain Christmas movie

Crazy in Alabama
I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
X-Men

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …

An intensely moving film, The Passion of the Christ explores the last day of the life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. As a Christian myself, I was led to tears at what I witnessed. So often we go to church every Sunday and forget what the true meaning …

The Appearing, 2014 movie
Out of curiousity I decided to watch The Appearing directed by Daric Gates expecting to get scared by something other than possession and demons. But, this poorly crafted horror film intertwined with crime disheartened me to a great extent. Having watched The Appearing along with too many other horror …

As far as I remember I really enjoyed watching the first ring. It was freaky, a lot of people said that it was scary but I thought it was more freaky than anything. I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters with my cousin. We both …
Troop Beverly Hills movie
I can’t believe I haven’t yet reviewed this wonderful comedy called Troop Beverly Hills which starred Shelley Long as Phyllis Nefler and Craig T. Nelson as her wayward husband, the muffler man otherwise known as Freddy Nefler. This movie wasn’t a critical success, but to me, it’s a …
Romancing the Stone movie
The very first thing I became aware of when Romancing the Stone began was how difficult it was to focus on what was happening because during this first bit, the theme music to How the West was Won playing. Of course, it does match what is going on, …
Final Destination 3-D movie
Final Destination 3 in super 3-D is exactly what you would expect from such a teen horror outing. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting wooden, and the entire premise implausible, yet it still delivers the goods as far as presenting an entertaining horror excursion. The audience that I viewed …
