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 …

Pride and Prjudice 2006
It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …
Movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood
I had heard of the movie The Adventures of Robin Hood but I had only seen bits and pieces of it until yesterday afternoon. It was raining out and I had nothing better to do (since my entire day had been planned as an outdoor yard work day) so …
Movie My Life in Ruins
I was lucky enough to see a screening of the movie My Life in Ruins, but I think I had to considering it was a romantic comedy and I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies. It was pretty much what I expected it to be, though I still enjoyed …
Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides movie

Stranded (2001) Movie
This is a science fiction film about the first manned trip to Mars. Instead of being action as most science fiction movies are, this is a drama. It’s also a survival story, one that’s filmed pretty decently on a low budget. It’s the story of five people stuck on …
The Dying Detective
I am reviewing The Dying Detective, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced by Granada television in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes in battle with another extremely intelligent man: a doctor. He is a specialist in a certain …
“Hooligans” movie
Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is what we have all been waiting for; the second of two films in a vastly growing franchise that we have all grown to love Or not.

Teryl Rothery plays …
Vexille, CGI anime film
I applaud Vexille for taking a different direction in its CG animation, but the lack of characterization and story really hurt it in the long run.

Get Christie Love! movie
In 1974, viewers were presented with the very unique movie, Get Christie Love! The main character, a police lieutenant named Christie Love, was played by Teresa Graves, who might actually be remembered for her comedy input as a regular on Laugh-In.
In reality, this movie which did turn into …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …

There are so many different versions of the Cinderella story out there, but “Ever After” is by far the greatest of them all, and my favorite movie of all time. What makes this movie different from the others is that they made the movie in a very realistic …

Yay! Josh Duhamel is starring in a new movie! I have loved him ever since watching him as Leo in “All My Children”. Can’t wait until the movie, “The Romantics” is released as it seems as if it has been such a long time since his last movie was …
Netflix versus Blockbuster
I prefer Netflix because I love being able to watch movies instantly online. I joined this site a few months at the $9.99 a month rate. I can usually get about 4-5 movies through the mail each month with this plan, if I return them within a day or two. …

Brightstar (2009, Jane Campion)
This film is a thing of beauty, a joy forever.
If you are familiar with the poetry and life of Keats I guarantee you will love this film. Quotations from Keats letters, and from his poems are cleverly interwoven into the script, never seeming forced, cliched or trite - but …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
Batman 1989 Movie
This darker, more comic book feeling Batman was released in 1989 and was actually the first Batman movie I had ever seen. It was only after seeing this movie that I really wanted to know more about Batman and his character, which started my love for DC and Marvel …

We Are Marshall DVD
Sometimes, the unexpected happens when you’re watching a movie. This is the second time I can remember when I thought I was going to watch a sports movie and ended up watching a flick about the human spirit. The first time was when I saw “Brian’s Song” with …
The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …

I first watched this in the theatre when I was in college. It was in the year 1994 when ‘The Lion King’ was in every movie house around the metropolis.
Of course the magnificence …
Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
With the over abundance of vampire movies and television shows out and coming out it only makes sense that someone would come out with a spoof of these entertaining videos, but isn’t a spoof supposed to be funny? Sure, “Vampires Suck” has some funny points, maybe about three of …

Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …
Movie: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008)
I had to see what all the hype was about. “Benjamin Button” was THE talked-about film of the year: critics raved about the film, and it was nominated for all kinds of awards.
