Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is probably one of the most promoted movies of 2008 and this was supposed to be very funny and so I thought I would see the movie. This movie is made from the same people that made Knocked Up and Freaks and Geeks so I thought …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …
Slumdog Millionaire
There has been a lot of reviews about this famous movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ so why another review? Well I want to express the views of many Indians like me who dare to think different.
It is made by a British director Danny Boyle, so it may …
Go West, Young Girl movie
I actually only saw Go West, Young Girl for the first time last year. It’s another Karen Valentine movie from 1978 that relies on her innocent, cutesy, and even spunky persona to succeed. She plays Netty Booth, an Eastern reporter who wants to go west to make …

Lakeview Terrace movie
The movie Lakeview Terrace was an all around great movie. The idea of an African American police officer being against an interracial couple is a very unusual idea, but it is possible which makes the movie very believable. Samuel L. Jackson hit another home run with this edge of …
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2010)
—žBoondock Saints II: All Saints Day” is the long awaited sequel to the highly popular movie —žThe Boondock Saints”. The main cast remained unchanged, which is usually the good sign. Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery return as brothers MacManus, also known as the Saints of Boston. The movie …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …
Barefoot in the Park movie
Barefoot in the Park is a fun, lighthearted venture from Neil Simon. It’s a delight to watch. It’s about a young married couple just starting out. They’re newlyweds and struggling to keep themselves together while still learning who they really are. Though there are moments …
Blade,movie
The original and still the best. It caused alot of controversy and it did not disappoint. You couldn’t tell if Blade was the bad guy or the good guy…but has was Baaad. Blade is a vampire who hunts vampires…an interesting plot at best. The action is intense and believable. …
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Gil Gerad returns! Yes, after 25 years since the original series went off the air it survived as a huge hit in syndication and on its Sci Fi Channel run. This was a classic adventure series will cool, campy overtones in the first season and then it …
Dance with the Devil (UR, 1997)
I wasn’t going to rent this movie at first since it was a little old. But since I really like both Javier Bardem and Rosie Perez, I thought the film was worth a try. Boy was I wrong. It’s supposed to be a dark comedy. …
Liar,Liar movie
In my opinion, this is Jim Carrey’s best movie. This is one that never fails to crack me up. When Jim Carrey’s character who is a workaholic lawyer is forced to tell the truth for a whole day after his son makes a birthday wish that his …

A very simple and straight forward movie with an evenly simpler plot that anyone can follow with great ease, this is the story of a trouble making female prisoner and her boy friend who she is trying to use in order to get out of prison and back into …
Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …
Copycat Movie

Months after the attack, she still refuses to leave her house. When two detectives need her help with what seems to …
A Charlie Brown Christmas
My favorite Christmas-themed movie is A Charlie Brown Christmas. I am a huge fan of Peanuts and all the characters in it. I think A Charlie Brown Christmas is so cute, and it is a classic Christmas movie. One of the best parts is that it …
Gidget’s Summer Reunion
Over a decade since we’d last seen Gidget Lawrence, she returns in Gidget’s Summer Reunion, a 1985 made-for-TV movie. The latest Gidget is Caryn Richmond, and she made a great Gidget. She takes on more of the Karen Valentine style of Gidget, a woman who has grown …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …

The reason why i liked the movie son much because it opened up …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …
Gun (Bluray), 2011 action film
Famous rapper, video game hero, and now for some reason movie star and maker, 50 Cent gives us his next film entitled Gun. The decision for this movie to be a direct to DVD film was a smart one because, after a second viewing, Gun is no more than …
Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
Evolution Movie
Science Fiction comedy in the same category as Ghostbusters for example. A meteorite hits the earth and brings with it a strange new form of life that threatens to take over the planet, or does it?
There’s not much to say about this. If you liked Ghostbusters, Men in Black …
Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …

Stargate SG-1 - Broca Divide
“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.
It’s the first show where we meet the spunky redhead physician, “Janet Fraiser”, played by Teryl Rothery. …
American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
The Three Gables
I am reviewing The Three Gables, a Sherlock Holmes episode on the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes and Watson against ruffians who are hired by a cold feeling woman to steal this poor old woman’s grandson’s …
Saw (movie)
Saw is one of my favorite new horror movies. This movie is a classic in my eyes. It’s a very creative story and plot. Saw is very original and had some great acting in it. I really liked the villain named JigSaw. When I saw him speak on the TV …
A Very Special Love starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo
Last 2008, my girlfriend asked me to take her to watch another feel-good love story starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Good. As I have posted in my previous reviews, I am a no fan of these kind of movies especially Filipino films.
The film was about Sarah Geronimo …
A Troll in Central Park
The first time I heard of the animated movie “A Troll in Central Park” was some time after it was released in the nineteen nineties. I was not a child any more at the time so I did not have much interest in it and I thoguht it was …
Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012 Coming-of-Age Drama Film)
Some films do really affect me far better in my second watch than my first. Back then, 4 years ago, when I first saw this movie, it was nothing but a coming-of-age drama with a twisted end, one that I was so eager to watch because my ultimate crush, Emma …
The Death and Life of Bobby Z
The Death and Life of Bobby Z is a mediocre movie which has it’s good points and bad points. The initial scenes of the movie are very appealing and interesting and one thinks that we are going to watch a good movie after the initial scenes. But what we …

Fast Five Movie
I watched Fast Five on regular DVD quality. I do have a Blu-ray player, but I never purchase Blu-ray discs. To me, they are a waste of money as they are more expensive and who knows if the quality is any better. The story is basically about the formation …

Sweeney Todd
Johnny Depp is one of my favourite actors. Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors. And when both worked together in Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I am more than glad to watch it. And I was not wrong! It is a great movie. One of …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
