Justin Bieber, Never Say Never In 3D
So I saw the Justin Bieber Never SAy Never in 3D yesterday, and let me just say this… Im not an avid Justin fan, i liked him a lot more before but the hype kind of wore off for me. This movie though, wow is not even a good …
The Men Who Stare at Goats, war comedy film
What the hell is up with George Clooney? The man is showing up in all of these goddamn films and half of them—¦wait no, most of them suck! The one movie that really got me pissed off at the movie theaters was The Men Who Stare at Goats. This …
The Spiderwick Chronicles
When my roommate rented this, I was expecting another Eragon, an unoriginal fantasy that rehashes the same elements that we’ve seen before. The fact that this movie was brought to us by the same studio that gave us “Good Burger” did nothing to squelch my fear that we …
LAND OF THE DEAD movie
LAND OF THE DEAD
It seemed that George Romero would never make another zombie film. Twenty years had passed since the release and flop of the over-rated DAY OF THE DEAD and nary a new Romero Zombie film was in sight.
Actually, this film was bouncing around in development for a …

Film Ghostbusters
It was one of my most ardent childhood wishes that, when I grew up, I should marry Ghostbuster Egon Spengler.
One of the first blockbusters of the 1980’s Ghostbusters features an array of Saturday Night Live Players, and some of the finest comedians of the day. Conceived by Dan Aykroyd, …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
Tango and cash
This flick is a nice blend of action and comedy. The comedy however is not in performance, but the characters do have a good sense of humor. The story’s abt two cops Tango and Cash, that were wrongly accused in a case, and are convicted and send to …
Movie Help Me Help You
Help Me Help You with Ted Danson.
I never thought very highly of Ted Danson’s acting on TV, but he has shown me a more effective portrayal in this series. I think that the difference is the similarity to his Cheers days in which he …
Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
Quarantine, movie
“Quarantine” is one of the better horror movies that I have seen as of late. It manages to mix all the right elements, a good story, moderate violence, good acting, and a great setting that results in an excellent film. It begins with the documentary of a local firehouse …
Street Fighter (Movie)
When I first watched this movie, I was very excited that I could finally watch a movie on street fighters, because I was a fan of the game, street fighter 2, which, by the way, was one of my favourite game back in my day as a child.
I was, …
Funny Games movie (American Remake) 2008
I was a bit apprehensive about whether this remake would be as good as the original. But then I realize that this film was made by the same director. It is then that I realized that all the nuances were the same as the first …
Jurassic Park: The Movie
Jurassic Park is one of the highest grossing movies of all and it more then deserves that title. Even if movies like Forest Gump and Avatar have higher titles, it was still a blockbuster and continues to be now. Jurassic Park …
Religulous (Documentary)
Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
Dallas Season One
Oh wow was the first season of Dallas and the miniseries that launched the program was awesome! In a lot of ways, this was the prototype for Prime Time soap operatic drama for two decades to come. Yes, I loved the show even as a little kid watching it …
Race to Witch Mountain - (starring Dwayne Johnson)
Race to Witch Mountain is a brilliant movie that I recommend most of you out there to watch. It is clean, the script and dialogs are also clean and the cast an amazing one. Starring Dwayne Johnson and the brilliant and smart kids in the movie too, whom …
The Secret Life of Bees - The Movie

“Fracture” starring Anthony Hopkins
“Fracture” is a 2007 color movie from New Line Cinema and Castlerock Entertainment lasting 113 minutes. Normally I’m a big fan of Castlerock that often produces movies that have some connection to Stephen King such as “Hearts in Atlantis” starring Anthony Hopkins and based on the book by King …
John Tucker Must Die

The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …
Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …
17 Again movie
I just watched 17 again a couple of days back. 17 Again is about a high school basketball superstar Mike O’Donnell played by Zac Efron (teen) and Mattew Perry (adult) whose future did not quite turn out the way he wanted to. He forsake a college scholarship for the …

Monster-In-Law movie
Monster-In-Law is a super cute movie about a meddling mother who will not let her son marry the girl that he loves (or any girl he wants to be with, for that matter). Jane Fonda plays the mom and her son is Kevin. Jennifer Lopez is so cute and …
Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …
Movie Mirror
Mirror, a remake from the korean version that was directed in 2003 by Kim Sung-ho. This story has the similar concept, only except with different actors and background. The movie stars Keifer Sutherland.
The story talks about an ex-cop who committed an offence and becomes a night security guard at …
Love in the Afternoon (1957) film by Billy Wilder
Love in the Afternoon is one exceptional romantic story in the Audrey Hepburn filmography. I loved Sabrina, which was the first time Audrey and Billy Wilder had worked together on a film, so I moved on to the next. Firstly, I had the wrong impression upon looking …
Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
The movie Shark Boy and Lava Girl
I think that just about everyone remembers Sky Kids and Sky Kids 2. It seemed to be really popular for awhile and then just died out. It as not long after Spy Kids 2 came out that the previews for Shark Boy and Lava Girl came out.
Let me …
Movie: Rudy

“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)
Usually I don’t enjoy watching foreign films with characters I am unfamiliar with. However, I decided to give this one a try. The plot seemed very interesting. There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …
“Narcos” Series on Netflix
To put into perspective, the duality of this Netflix Original greatly symbolizes the duality of the genre bending that it is standing for. “Narcos” is both a crime drama as much as a pseusdo-drama-based documentary. That might be a mouthful but it also makes sense why this show …
Spiderman:The Movie
I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …
The X-Files Movie
Highly acclaimed science fiction series The X-Files makes it first venture onto the big screen, with Mulder and Scully becoming embroiled in even more shenanigans involving the villainous Syndicate and the dastardly alien invasion plot they’ve spent decades concealing from the public.
Ultimately, this movie is a successful venture for the …
Bob the Butler movie
I ended up finally watching the movie Bob the Butler this past weekend. It was on my Netflix player but I never took the time to watch it because I am not a huge Tom Green fan and thought it would end up being kind of dumb.
It turned out …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Pearl Harbor The Movie
I was never much for history, but I do love a good old fashioned romance which is exactly what this is. I loved this movie more than I originally thought I would and was glad I spent the money to see it in the theaters. And here’s …
Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.
Stranger than Fiction isn’t a bad movie, in fact it was pretty good. But, it definitely wasn’t as funny as …
