Unfaithful Movie
This movie I found scary in a way that it’s hard to get involved danger and when you’re playing with fire there’s always bad karma around the corner for you, not only is it inappropriate but when you’re unfaithful to someone, the guilt and the conscience just doesn’t feel …

Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …

Surely one of the most iconic films of the post-war cinema, —˜The Third Man’ is a triumph of black & white filming in the shattered capital of divided Austria where a black market thrives . Holly Martin (Joseph Cotton) writes cowboy books for a living. It is he …

Friday the 13th
My wife and I rented the remake of the movie Friday the 13th and didn’t know what to expect from it. I figured it would be roughly the same as the original but, shortly after starting it, I realized I don’t remember a thing about the original and couldn’t …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …
Napolean Dynamite Movie
The first time I ever watched Napolean Dynamite, I thought it was prehaps the worst movie ever made. Since then however I have gotten an appreciation for this movie. For the most part its a bout a nerdy high school student and his expolits. After the second, or third …
Falling Down (1993) Movie
I tend to always watch Falling Down when it comes on television. I can always relate to film and literature that is misanthropic in its sentiment and, as movies go, this is better than most rubbish out there.
Michael Douglas plays William Forster who has apparently cracked …
When A Stranger Calls-Original Version
The original version of When A Stranger Calls is one that stuck in my head for a number of years. I always thought it was a really great movie and it wasn’t until later that I learned it was made for television. However when I saw it recently, I …
Hocus Pocus

Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …
He’s Just Not That Into You
I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. I first saw it in the movie theaters with my room mate during my freshman year of college. I went in there really not sure what to expect because the book itself I actually read. It was written by …
Movie Exorcist

I am Legend movie

27 Dresses
The other day, I gave in to my wife and watched the romantic comedy 27 Dresses with her.
While I’ll be quick to admit I actually enjoyed the movie; I was left a bit disappointed by it.
My biggest complaint about the film, which is about a woman who has attended …
Shrek 3
I, having loved the first two Shrek films, was eagerly awaiting the third installment. All the trailers were extremely funny and enticing. And on opening weekend I was there, with my little Shrek and Puss I got from McDonalds and I was also wearing my green “I …
Uncle Buck (1989) movie
Directed by John Hughes, and starring John Candy, this was one of the best movies of the 80s. Uncle Buck was a funny, charming and sometimes witty comedy. It was in the middle of a long string of John Hughes movies that were good and also …
Movie: The Apple Dumpling Gang
I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a movie I have yet to see in its entirety; The Apple Dumpling Gang.

10,000 BC
I have been hearing alot of talk about the movie 10,000 BC and how the movie would be a very pleasant viewing. But once I have seen it, I was pretty shocked of how my perspective of this “wonderful” movie changed. I really think that the movie was pretty …
Legally Blonde
I have watched Legally Blonde like 5 times and counting, and still I am not bored with it at all. The DVD is always amongst my top 5 of movies that I will watch on a regular basis and Reese Witherspoon sizzles as we already know and alongside Luke …
Robin Hood movie
Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …
Point Break movie (1991)
(Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Gary Busey)
Point Break was an action packed movie and a half. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, a director known for pushing the limits and never pulling any punches, Point Break starts at a gallop and never slows down. This was also one of the …

This is a comedy that relies entirely on the fact that the audience know …
The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …
War aka Rogue Assassin Movie
I have always loved Jet Li ever since Kiss of the Dragon and Cradle to the Grave, however this is a much different setting than the earlier movies mentioned that still remain as my old-time favorites, this has a certain twist in a way that it is both gruesome, …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
Raise Your Voice
I watched Raise Your Voice starring Hilary Duff the other day and it was not a bad story altogether. In fact, I enjoyed it very much. Her character name in this story is Terri Fletcher (nice name, I must say) and she goes to this school where music …
The Hitcher movie
The Hitcher is about a young man who travels through the american desert and has the bad luck of picking up a psychopathic hitcher. It’s just not any psychopath, but probably the most frightening and calculating ever, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer. Actually, Hauer’s performance is what is most …
The Reaping film
Through this movie, Hilary Swank has reminded audiences once again, that she is one of Hollywood’s greatest Heavy-Hitters. Her acting skills were brilliant. Maybe this is why some of the other cast members appeared as though they needed to step it up a notch? “Who is that blonde little …
