Black Death is the latest film by Christopher Smith, the man behind the Triangle. On the web I saw references to this as a horror film history.
1348. This is the year the film takes place, the year is under the sign of bubonic plague. The story begins with Osmund …

King of the Hill is one of my favorite cartoons. The shows has great voice acting and great plots. I really love each character in their own way. One thing I like about the show is the intro music. The music gets you excited and ready for the show.
The …

Ella Enchanted is a ferry tale type of movie with some similarities to Cinderella. It reminds us that there is good and bad everywhere. That we have to find our inner power to solve some of the most difficult problems that we will face in our lives. That each …

One of the last movies that I went to watch in the theatres was “Gangster Squad”. Ever since I first saw the trailer last year, it looked so promising that I made up my mind that I was not going to miss it. The movie didn’t disappoint at all …

Frances Langford had the starring role in a 1944 musical called Career Girl. Her character’s name was Joan Terry, an aspiring singer, which meant, of course, that the movie was full of songs sung by Langford.
What makes Career Girl a bit difficult to watch are a few …

The Sebel resort is a large modern hotel in Noosa, Australia. It is situated on Hastings Street which is the main street in Noosa. It is therefore in a perfect location as it is within walking distance of all the local restaurants and the beach. Noosa is a lively …

My wife decided to have a night out with her friends Friday night and, since I was left home with the kids, I decided to take advantage of it and spend some quality time with my two girls.
My youngest was in bed shortly after my wife left (she gets …

I love watching historical movies, or movies whose settings take place at memorable times during human history. This is why I was very intrigued by the description of the movie “Love Field” when I had seen it on the television guide when I was looking on what was going …

In order to fully understand 21 Grams, you will have to be committed to watching this movie at least twice. After the first viewing, you will want to watch 21 Grams again because the movie is thrilling and very exciting. There is a love story between Paul and Christine, …

My Bloody Valentine has risen to the level of cult status not so much by what’s on screen, but by what is not on screen.
In 1981, Paramount released this Friday the 13th clone in theaters on Valentine’s Day and, despite having a really cool theme (mad killer returns to …

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 …

Let’s be honest, you can count great UK youth flicks on one hand. So Olly Murs hats off, then, to The Inbetweeners Movie, an upgrade for the E4 teen comedy that matches the gag rate of any film this summer and delivers it with the panache of the Yanks but …

I could not imagine Amanda Seyfried to star as a provocative and sexy role as Chloe. When I read about Chloe and how it was released in limited number of theaters, I was curious to see how she would pull it off.
Chloe is a film that stars Julienne …

I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …

When I saw Inception, I was really thinking about the actor who played Arthur. I really thought so hard until I remembered that he was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the guy who was in the movie, 500 Days of Summer.
I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …

I found the trailer to the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on youtube. For those who don’t know, this movie is based on the book and because the book was so long (over seven hundred pages), the movie will be in two installments. This …

Being a big Marvel fan, and having loved ‘The Avengers’ movie of 2012, I had high expectations for its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the movie was watchable, I was let down by a seemingly weak story line and lost acting. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie and I …

Sherlock Holmes stories have always been popular in the movie world, but I must say, that I really did not expect a movie like that to be made. I would have never thought of make a Sherlock Holmes movie as an action movie. The movie does not support the …

I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …

Paranormal Activity is probably the least scary movie I have seen. I can say with all honesty that I did not find this movie funny. Yeah sure it got a lot of crazy reviews and media hype. But when ti came down to sitting down and watching this film even …

I really really wanted to like this movie. When I heard that John Singleton was making another movie, I thought that it was really going to be good. The film is based on a Latin couple living in the Bronx in 1985. The husband is …

Ex Machina is by far the best movie I’ve watched in 2015. I’ve watched it twice in theaters because I just couldn’t get over how amazing it was. (Some spoilers below)
The story is about a young man named Caleb Smith who works for Bluebook, a popular search engine, almost like …

For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …

The Incredibles is everything that has come to be expected from a Pixar animated movie and is great fun for the entire family. A new take on the story of a superhero and his super family was a welcome breather. While other movie studios have been and continue to …

I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …

I saw the movie Avatar three times– twice in the theater in 3-D, and once at home in 2-D as a rental. I’d been looking forward to seeing it months before it ever came out. The big question always being: would it live up to all the hype? I …

I remember watching these two cartoon characters chase each other when I was a kid and now, years later, I find myself watching them again. Actually, I’m not the one watching it. My boy who is only 4 years old watches it all the time and there’s nothing any …

I saw the trailer for this movie in theaters before, and it did not pique my interest. It seemed like just an action movie with some plot that is intended to be epic, but not really so. However, I heard that it is a really intense and deep movie, …

This seemed like a very interesting story, not really your average suspense movie as it does have a bit of action involved. The movie is about a girl who’s a hotel manager (Rachel McAdams) and she just goes home for a vacation and meets a nice young man (Cillian …

The Gravedancers was one of the movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest. This is a low budget movie that features some B-list actors that probably wouldn’t have been seen by many people if it weren’t for that festival. Though this movie has a few problems, …

I was excited when this film came out in 1987 as I was a major fan of Mickey Rourke and I liked The Cosby Show too so the combination of Rourke and Lisa Bonet was going to be interesting. Not to mention Robert De Niro playing a mean …

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, directed by Jay Roach is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual innuendo and crude humor. The original release date for this movie was June 11, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …

Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …

Justin Timberlake is of course, the draw for this film. But he’s not really the one who makes the most impact. I liked that he was in it. And for some reason, I felt that it wasn’t too far a stretch from how he really acts …

I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.
As a fan of Halle Berry, I was eager to see this film. She is a fantastic actress, that brings …

I am reviewing the movie, American History X, starring Edward Norton. This movie is about racism, hatred, forgiveness, and beliefs. Edward Norton plays Derek, a neo nazi who believes that all African Americans are trash, dirty, and trouble. He thinks that they are nothing but trouble, and …

Everything you ever liked about horror movies from the present to the past is in Rolfe Kanefsky’s Nightmare Man. The movie is as cheesy as any bad horror movie, but worst scenes in the movie really make it a classic among most modern day horror films. It also doesn’t …

I really enjoy watching the Bench Warmers over and over and over again and when I first watched it I thought it was lame but than I started watching it again and again and again and it got funnier every time I watched it. There were so many funny …

A low budget movie turns out sophisticatedly neat. Starring Debra Messing (of Will and Grace) as Katherine, a New Yorker, looking for a for-hire-date that she could bring to London for her half sister’s wedding.
A light kind of story full of cinematographically neat shots at perfectly chosen places at …

Another fairy tale princess movie from Disney that is a throw back to the good old days of enchantment and sweetness.
Rapunzel, kidnapped as a baby, is imprisoned in a tower by a woman she grows up thinking is her mother. Each year on her birthday her …

Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …

I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …

This Otto Preminger classic features Frank Sinatra in his most famous movie part, as a gambling drug addict with a good heart who tries to hold his life together. An intense film that was controversial in its direct way of depicting drugs and drug addicts without putting any judgement …

I love animation movie. I just saw recommendations on this one and I decided to watch it on sidereel.
It’s an animation movie by Hayao Miyazaki. It is about a little girl named Chihiro, having to move to another city with her parents. On the way of …

American Pie, directed by paul Weitz is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong sexuality, crude sexual dialogue, language and drinking, all involving teens. The original release date for this movie was July 9, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre …

I recently discovered I could load one of my childhood favorite movies on our Netflix instant watch viewer and, last night, for the first time in years, I watched the movie The Shakiest Gun in the West.
I remembered this being a great movie full of comedy and action. And, …

I did not enjoy Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve movie very much but I really did love the Ocean’s Thirteen movie. This movie is star studded. It involves several famous Hollywood actors that is very well worth the time and effort in watching the movie. The movie is about …

I didn’t like this movie since I believed it was more of a female exploitation movie, which I wasn’t interested in. This was because it contained a lot of female nudity scenes as well as lesbian scenes which made it more resemble soft core pornography than a horror movie. …

‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
