The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
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 …
Murder at 1600
I just watched “Murder at 1600″ in which Wesley Snipes plays Detective Harlan Regis trying to solve the murder of a young secretary in the White House.
This is an action adventure movie.
A janitor is arrested quickly for the murder however, Regis is not sure he is the true …
Gosford Park dvd
When I ran across this dvd at my local bargain shop for less than three dollars, new still in packaging I purchased it because I had heard from numerous sources that Gosford Park was an exceptional film. I had hopes of being at least mildly enetertained during this film.
Gosford …
The Duke Is Tops movie
From 1938, The Duke Is Tops is a film that features an all black cast, and what I like about it is that race isn’t really a part of this picture. This movie could have had any cast. These performers talked normally, performed normally, and just acted …
Chicago the movie
Winner of six Academy Awards, this Rob Marshall masterpiece is just that, a masterpiece. At the height of Chicago’s jazz world, and all that goes with it, crime has become an art-form, or so says the slick Billy Flinn (Richard Gere). Crime has become sensationalized, and murder is no …

He’s Just Not That Into You movie
As far as romantic comedies go, or better known as —˜chick flicks,’ I suppose “He’s Just Not That Into You” is okay. This movie certainly has an all-star cast, including Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, and Drew Barrymore, so even if the plot is lame, these names and faces can …
Cool World movie
One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.
The strange thing about this film is that the filmmakers didn’t put a lot of effort into making the contrast between reality …
Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …
The Matrix
Watching The Matrix movie is really exiting and absorbing the attention adventure. Based on a original idea, it shows us one fantastic reality, in which the the ordinary people became extraordinary under the pressure of the circumstances. The main meaning is that the most important thing in our …

Teacher’s Pet movie
In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …
Disturbia
WOW, I was so taken away, by the beautiful movie of Disturbia. It is a suspense thriller, and a lot of times caught me flinching on my seat.
This is a story of a teenager, called Kale, who has been sentenced to house arrest, for punching his teacher. …
DNAngel Episode 7 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 7 has Dark trying to seal the evil Adonis from Greek myth after he is revived and preys on one of the schoolgirls at Daisuke’s school.

Bridge of Spies (2015 Film)
I have been so attached with Oscar-bait films ever since I had that cinematic experience with Alfonso Cuaron’s 2013 space tale “Gravity”. It was beyond words, beyond everything I have ever felt before, and to truly witness it in glorious 3D screen was groundbreaking. It was then that I realized …

Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010 film)
With all the campaigns on the internet and coverage from the press, it was impossible to escape the urge to watch the film. It’s awards season and anyone ignorant not to know what “Black Swan” is must be living in a different planet. I didn’t think this …

Superior 71 Drive-in Theater
I am reviewing the Superior 71 Drive-in Theater located between Okoboji and Estherville, IA. This drive in has been in operation for only two years, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I am in my twenties, but I have always loved the idea of …
Hellboy: Sword of Storms
I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …

When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
Green Street Hooligans movie
This film features Eliijah Wood as an american who comes to visit his sister in England. There he meets his somewhat naive nephew, who spends his saturday night fighting. He is a football fan, but more importantly a hooligan who likes fighting more than watching football. His new american …

John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …
The Cutting Edge Movie
Among the Cutting Edge movies that were made (there were three) this is what I like best. I have probably seen it five times already. I enjoy watching this because I like figure skating and The Cutting Edge has plenty of scenes showcasing some fancy maneuvers. It is funny …
12 Angry Men (Remake)
In 1997, someone got the not-so-bright idea to recreate a theatrical classic, 12 Angry Men. The problem for me is that the original production was about as near to perfect as you can get. Headed by Henry Fonda and a legendary cast, this film was dramatic and …
Movie: “Europa Europa” (1990)
“Europa Europa” from Central Cinema Company is a 1990 movie in German, Russian, Polish, and Hebrew. It was filmed in color on locations in Poland and lasts 112 minutes. I turned on the English subtitles and was able to fool myself that I understood the German portions.
The movie “Europa …
No Country For Old Men (2007)

One of those movies that I had always heard people talking about but I never got to watch was “Driving Miss Daisy”, and so of course I always knew I had to see it whenever I had the chance to. I didn’t actually know what it was supposed to …
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) movie
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is the sequel to there first adventure when they went on the eternal search for white castle. This is just another one of your classic stoner comedies. Its just purely dumb but always entertaining.
In this adventure they are trying to make …
Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …

Gaslight
I had never heard of the film Gaslight until last night when I saw it on television and found myself staying up late to see how it ended.
The 1944 version of this movie, which I was surprised to learn was a remake, was fantastic. Ingrid Bergman does a wonderful …
Finding Dory (2016 Animated Film)
The fact that most sequels nowadays fail to grasp the success of their predecessors is just pure tragic. The world needs fresh ideas, or perhaps an innovation of original stories sequels are based to. But few filmmakers understood that, so instead of getting rave reviews from everyone, they are mostly …

Shinobi
Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
