Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
The Last Airbender Movie
I am the biggest Avatar fan in the world. I absolutely love the series and I remember it being an integral part of my childhood. And I have to admit, I still rewatch the series every now and then even though it is kind of a childish show. The …

American Pie 2 movie
I got bored Friday night and ended up watching American Pie 2 on one of our movie channels. I haven’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember much of it. It turns out there’s a reason why it wasn’t that memorable.
The first American Pie movie is a …
America’s Sweethearts movie
It took me a very long time to actually sit down and watch the movie America’s Sweethearts since I’ve never been a big fan of the actress Julia ROberts because I’m so used to seeing her in romance movies, and frankly, she has never held my attention. Thus, …
The Reader movie
The best way to describe the movie —˜The Reader’ is a very moving film which tackles emotions and sentiments in a unique way. It is no wonder that there were many actresses who wanted to interpret the main female role such as Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard and …
Fahrenheit 451 Movie
“Fahrenheit 451″ filmed in 1966 and directed by François Truffaut is one bad, boring movie. I am really sorry to say this, but it is. I had read Ray Bradbury’s book titled “Fahrenheit 451″ and I remember enjoying it, so when I saw the movie at our library I …
V for Vendetta (2005)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …
Shooter movie
I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …
The Devil Wears Prada
I was a bit bored last night because the baby was awake and I couldn’t seem to find anything on TV. So, I ended up going to one of our movie channels and watching the Devil Wears Prada once again.
You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …
Toy Story
Toy Story is a very coll story about toys. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Light Year. I think that the 3D animation done in this movie was really cool! This was one of the first movies I saw done this way. And I really liked the whole 3D …

Dirty Dancing was an awesome, feel good movie that remains a phenomena to this day. This special 20th Anniversary edition has a lot of exciting extras. Some can be found on other DVD releases of the standout movie, but others are unique to this collection.
The DVD set …
The Invisibles (starring Portia de Rossi)
I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …
10,000 B.C. (Movie)
My friend really pushed me into watching this movie that honestly I really dreaded to watch. I really felt that it is simply a waste of time to be watching “cavemen” fighting one another and I was really keen on watching some kind of a romantic comedy or some …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
The gospel of John (Movie)
Many people said that this movie is boring and that those who think that the movie is very interesting must be lying for the sake of religious reason. Well, as the saying goes, one man’s meat is another poison, and therefore, one man’s poison can also be to the …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …

H. H. Holmes; America’s First Serial Killer movie

Milk movie
I recently saw the movie Milk with Sean Penn. He is a really good actor and played this part perfectly. I wasn’t familiar with the real Harvey Milk, but I felt like I was after watching Penn’s portrayal.

The Matrix movie
I just love The Matrix movie. I watched it five times on the big screen. I love special effects and just from the looks of the movie trailer alone, I could already tell that I was going to love this film. True enough, I got hooked …
Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …
Passion of the Christ
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 …
Glory movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.
Let’s face it, it’s Matthew Broderick in an actually serious role as a civil war colonel in charge of an …
Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …
United 93 movie
It has been five years since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. For most, the wounds are still raw. I wasn’t sure if people would really be interested or prepared for a film about any of the events that took place that day. I know …
Star Trek (2009)
Although I enjoyed seeing the new Star Trek movie, I have to say that the writers really dropped the ball with the script and some of the characterizations. The story was quite poor and not very interesting at all, and it seemed as if the story was written around …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
The Little Mermaid
This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
