Film Gladiator
Here is the story of a man who is at the top, falls and then rises to the top again. This is a great movie.
I love this story. When I initially saw it in the dollar discount movie theatre, I wasn’t sure what I …
The Final Destination movie
We decided to rent the fourth Final Destination movie The Final Destination on Saturday. I’m not sure why we thought it would be as good as the first two (or even the crappy third one), but it proved to be somewhat of a mistake.
The movie had a plot that …
Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.
I actually remember seeing this movie at the drive-in with my parents when I was a …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
Munsters Season 1 DVD
Without a doubt, one of the all time classic television programs was the landmark 1964 sitcom the Munsters. The program capitalized on the rise in popularity of the golden age of horror movies which were debuting on syndicated television and launching the monster boom of the late 1950’s to …
Show Boat musical
It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 39
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 39 begins with Scar taking Winry hostage and escaping. It’s all an elaborate plan to get Winry away from the Military and so Scar can get away too, along with May, Yoki and Dr. Marcoh.
This episode was great, it has a …
Kill Bill Volume 1
I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …
Poseidon movie
It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.
I …
Anter Ebn Shadad movie
This old movie is an Arabic movie talks a bout a very strong black man called Anter Ebn Shadad, this man was the son of this country’s king but the king was white so he did not wants the people of this country to know that this son is …
By the sea Movie
A neat little British comedy from the early 1980s about a family going on a trip to the sea to spend their holiday there. This trip leads to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings that has a lot of the dry british touch to it impossible to mistake for …
Fullmetal Alcehmist Brotherhood Episode 17
Fullmetal Alchemist: Episode 17 begins with Maria Ross being questioned in the murder of Maes Hughes and being put in jail. Everyone wonders what’s going on and Ed and Al go to ask Colonel Mustang what’s going on. Barry the Chopper breaks Ross and Ling out of …
Netflix
I have been a Netflix customer for over two years now. As an avid movie junkie, I have an entire database of movies to watch at my disposal. With a variety of payment plans and delivery options, Netflix has really been amazing to me. I started out by receiving …
The Passion of the Christ
The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …
The Ringer (2005)
Steve employs his good friend to work for him around his apartment after he is told to fire him by his boss, while mowing the lawn, the friend accidentally cuts off two of his fingers and is rushed to the hospital where he told that without proper medical coverage …
Airplane movie
I usually keep away from watching comedies from the nineteen seventies and early eighties since I’ve found out over the years that most of them tend to bore me. So when I first got access to cable television and would see this movie going on, I didn’t even pay …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …
The Woman In Red
The Woman In Red with Gene Wilder and Kelly LeBrock.
This is your classic romantic comedy, but one in which you expect disaster at any moment. As we first see Kelly LeBrock do her Marilyn Monroe take on the dance over the heating vent, we …
The Dark Half,movie
The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …
Capote
I had heard this was such a great movie, so I borrowed it from my local library. I had intended to read the book InCold Blood by Truman Capote, I went as far as to buy a copy at a yard sale but I did not get around to …
Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
The Ninth Gate
The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp.
As Dean Corso, our hero Johnny Depp leads us on a mysterious journey into the world of satanism. This dark suspense story will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is based on the verification of …
Dostana
The promos of dostana generated controversies about some sizzling scenes. The songs that came out before the movie also very really good. I wanted to watch the movie. So went to watch the movie because afterall it was a youthful movie about friends as per the previews and also …
Keeping the Faith (2000, Edward Norton)
I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …
The Duff (2015 comedy movie)
It had been a long time since I watched one of those teenage movies, and so after seeing the trailer for the movie “The Duff”; I became interested in seeing it. Despite the opinions of some people I know, it didn’t seem cliche to me at the time, and I …
Peter Pan movie
The classic fairytale by Barry in a new version. The most famous films on the story would be Disney’s classic animation and Spielberg’s Hook. This new version follows the same path as those two films and doesn’t really break any new ground, not even visually. For those of us …
I Am Number Four ( 2011 Movie )
Movie adaptation has been too prevalent nowadays. The film “I Am Number Four” is based from the novel of the same title by Pittacus Lore. The movie stars Alex Pettyfer as Number Four and Diana Agron of Glee as Pettyfer’s love interest in the film. The movie is directed …
Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters
I loaded another Looney Tunes Cartoon on our Netflix Player the other day for our daughter “Daffy Duck’s Quack Busters.” It was an OK movie but not as good as I expected.
When I loaded it, I figured it would be a cute spoof of the show Ghost Busters, or at …
From Paris With Love (2010) movie
Haven’t seen John Travolta take to the screen in a film that I have liked lately but this one was pretty entertaining. Nothing special just a good old fashion entertainment action film.
I do like the storyline it is quite interesting, with a twist I did not expect so …
Alaipayuthae
Alaipayuthae was a fantastic romantic film by Maniratnam. He directed the movie for his own production house ‘Madras Talkies’. The movie was released on April 14, 2000. That was on Tamil New Year. I watched the movie on ‘First Day First Show’ with my friends. …
Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire
This is the second night in a row that I have sat down to watch a Scooby Doo movie with my daughter. And, I will say Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire is by far the best Scooby Doo movie I’ve ever seen.
This movie, which takes place …
Saw IV
Saw IV was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, and this time wasn’t produced by James Wan, but by Mark Burg and Oren Koules. The film was released like the others, just one year after the last around Halloween in 2007. The film plot is based on Jigsaw leaving messages …

The Disappointments Room (Horror Movie)
I guess this film lives up to its title, it is indeed rather disappointing. It’s boring and not scary at all.
First of all, the plot is very overused. Dana is suffering from depression and is on medication after the lost of her baby daughter. Her doctor recommended that she moved …
The Hunger Games movie
This movie had gotten mixed reviews. The general consensus is that people who have read the book were disappointed, while people who haven’t read the book liked it a bit more. I fall into the latter.
I found it to be quite enjoyable. It was well paced, …

Dickinson Movie Theater Pittsburg KS
The Dickinson Movie Theater in Pittsburg Kansas is TERRIBLE! I have been attending there for many years now simply because there is no other theater in my area.
You walk in the front door, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad place. The front is well kept, and most …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.
The town, despite its extremeness in following unwritten rules, exemplifies a lot of our societies. The protagonist, enviably shepherds …
Lucky Numbers
“Lucky Numbers” is the comedy that must have give the actor, John Travolta a lot of nightmares because unfortunately he got a Razzie Award for his interpretation of Russ Richard. I must admit that John Travolta interpretation lacks that special magic, however it was very much unfair to hand …
Rambo: First Blood (1982)
This is the story of Vietnam veteran John Rambo played by Sylvester Stallone who has just returned to the war. He is wondering through a town when he is picked up by the local police and being forced to leave town because he does not live there and is …
Movie Quarantine
Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)
It was believed to be good, a first person story seen through the lenses of a camera; it proved otherwise. Remakes, as usual, often do not measure up to the …
Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain Movie
En epic Hong Kong action movie about an ordinary man who gets involved in battles between good and evil on the old mysterious mountain of Zu.
This is one of the strangest films I’ve ever experiences. I suppose the filmmakers were trying to create some kind of experimental and innovative …
OLDBOY (2003) - Film
Before watching this film I knew nothing about it other than its name, and the fact it had won a bunch of awards. I saw the film’s poster, which although quite cool, didn’t make me want to watch the film itself. It was a good few years after its …
Taxi (movie)
Taxi is a movie about a cop undercover who teams up with a fast cab driver in New York to catch a bunch of women who have been robbing banks. First of all, a French movie of the same name has already been made that couldn’t have been worse …
