Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Movie
I have never played, seen or experienced Final Fantasy in any way shape or form until Advent Children came out and WOW!! This is the film based on the seventh game and it was amazing.
This movie had everything a person needs to enjoy a film and this was a …

Twilight: The Movie
I have mixed feelings about Twilight: The Movie. I can’t believe, first of all, how many GOOD reviews it has gotten. At the beginning it was just slow and painful to watch. I was the one to drag my fiance to go see it and I was the one …
The Runaway Bride,1999 movie
“The Runaway Bride” is a romantic comedy, light, witty, and well-made, although perhaps with a bit unrealistic premise. Maggie Carpenter (Julia Roberts) is a small town woman who has become a local celebrity of sorts for leaving several fiances at the altar and running away - just like that, …
Movie Gridiron Gang 2006
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I got a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from the character The Rock as Dwayne who played the football coach for a teenage group of troubled youths at a detention center. The exciting part of his character was how he expressed himself when …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
Back To The Future
I love it, and its as entertaining now as it was when it was made in 1985 Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd excel in this film which sends them back to the past where they get stuck and need to find a way, well - back to …
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
My favorite of all the Star Wars sequels is Return of the Jedi, and that is even after I have watched all the movies the franchise has to offer, prequels included. True, there is a lot more technology and much faster pacing in the newer films, namely, Episodes …
Daffy Duck’s Fantasy Island (1983)
This cartoon movie is a compilation of various shorts cartoons that was stretched out to feature length. The background of this movie is about daffy Duck finding a treasure map that leads him to a deserted island that has a magical wishing well designed to grant the holder of …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
I actually thought that The Matrix was a done deal…no sequels involved (boy was i wrong). Reloaded came to stir up more trouble for our guys in shiney leather and dark glasses. What is there to say about this installation of The Matrix saga…other than it’s long, it’s dull, …
The MEXICAN,movie
A good movie that consists of Brad Pitt playing a bad man. He is into drugs theft and a gang. He is sent to Mexico to retrieve a very valuable gun. But in exchange him and his G/F Julia are in deep trouble. Many people …
E.T. movie
E.T. is the well-known film about an alien from outer space coming to the earth and becoming a friend to a couple of children in America. Steven Spielberg started to loose his touch from the 1970s with this film in my opinion and it’s clear he only ever made …
Non-stop (2014 Film)
Non stop is one of those movies that does a great job in making you paranoid in your everyday routine. After watching it, I was left with deep thoughts and a deeper insight about flying on airplanes. It’s said to be an action, mystery, thriller. Seeing that Liam Neeson was …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Black Swan Movie
The funny thing about Black Swan is that I should really have no reason to want to watch it. True, it’s a film by Darren Aranofsky, who’s acclaimed film “Requiem for a Dream” is one of my favorite movies, and who also gave us “The Wrestler”, but none of …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …
Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …
Movie Push
I recently watched the movie Push, since I am a fan of Chris Evans, so I decided to give the movie a shot since the trailer was a bit impressive. Although a lot of critics said it wasn’t a good movie, I had to see it for myself to …

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I have to admit that I’ve had a secret love of Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. When the movie first came out last year, I was the only one of my friends and family members who could actually sing all the words to their songs …
Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000 film)
Chinese cinema owes a lot to Ang Lee’s breakthrough masterpiece at the Academy Awards. Not only is the first Asian film to gain mass popularity, acclaim and high prestige awards, it was followed by a whole stream of wuxia films that is still running and to be honest none …
Flight Plan movie
Flight Plan is kind of movie about hijicking a plane by a bad guy. But, I think we must think for a moment until the middle of this movie guessing who really a bad person here, because I think its a lot of trick and I’m also surprised when …

Film: Dead Silence
Not having seen any film from the Saw franchise, and just liking the way the commercials looked, I watched Dead Silence with a little wary hesitation. I’d wanted to see if from those ads, thinking that it looked creepy, and hey dolls usually are in the right circumstances, but …
Hot Rod (the movie)
Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …
Babys Day Out (movie)
One of the movies that I can remember watching in the nineties when I was still a child was “Baby’s Day Out”. I remember that after I had seen it in theatres back then, I found it so interesting that I was talking about it for a very long …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Untraceable (2008)
Untraceable (2008)is directed by the Gregory Hobilt. I thought this is going to be another boring DVD, with just a normal action flick story. But the storyline is real awesome. It is about this serial killer on the rise who projected his crimes and action deeds …
In the Bedroom, movie
Based on the short story, “Killings,” by Andre Dubus, “In the Bedroom” is a smart film that can resonate with even the most emotionally closed off of people. This is a film that hits us all where it hurts the most: the death of a child. It’s a story …
Aliens
Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …
Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).
However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film.
Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …
Movie Mothman Prohecies
I like to watch movies a lot, that is one of our favorite pastimes. One of my favorite actors is Richared Gere. He played this characther John Klien in the Mothman Prophecies.
John lost his wife in an accident and he is haunted by her memory. He …
Highlander
I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The film, of course, is what …
Watch Berserk Now! (anime)
And, the top pick of over 100 anime series is…
DUNN DUNN DUNN…!
Berserk.
Do you like action?
Great art?
Unpredictable plots?
This is it.
So, you might have guessed, but a hobby of mine is watching rare and mainstream anime. I came across it by accident. Picked it up on a rainy day and …

“Salt” 2010 action film by Phillip Noyce
Who is Salt? Apparently the female answer to James Bond, fortunately with a twist.
The film, titled simply with its protagonist’s surname, was directed by Phillip Noyce and has recently hit the cinemas. I decided to watch it looking for some simple, mindless entertainment: and while the film had a …

This film is a complete ripoff of Tarantino’s Resvoir Dogs, with the exception that it is set in a different environment, …
Coyote Ugly movie
Piper Perabo made a big splash in Coyote Ugly back in 2000. The female coyote craze has really grown since then. These are women who both bar-tend and entertain the patrons. They’re gone for getting up atop the bar and singing and dancing, in groups and …
“Pacific Rim” movie
The geek community had high hopes for this movie. Having giant robots fighting giant monsters seems like a guaranteed good time, but the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was helming the project only added to the hype.
I have to admit, Del Toro’s been on a hot streak lately. …
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie
The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …
