The Good Shepherd (2006)
“The Good Shepherd” is a sobering and rather depressing depiction of the early days of the secret government agency that eventually became the CIA. Matt Damon plays the role of Edward Wilson, a very morose young man with an idealistic desire to serve his country. He gets …
The Hurt Locker (2009) movie
Well after hearing some word that this movie was one of the best of 2009 I had to watch it for myself to see if the hype was true. I have to say they were not lying this movie was great.

Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
Fast & Furious 6 (movie)
With some great action, street racing, lightning fast cars and insane racers the previous Fast and Furious movies had delivered exceptionally well. The latest movie that released in this series was Fast and Furious 6 that claimed to have the same adventure and action of street racing like the …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …

Tangerine (2015 Film)
The talk about “a film shot entirely with an iPhone 5S” stunned me last year. I know it is an indie (independent film) but still, the thought that almost everyone can make a glorious film without ever spending big is a big news for me. I have been very interested …
Hotel for Dogs Movie
Being a dog lover, my brother bought and gave me this dvd as a present and while I am already in my mid-twenties, I still do enjoy watching movies that are sometimes suitable just for kids, like this movie, and Hotel for Dogs is actually for kids and not …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …
Breakup movie
Not only is breaking up hard to do, but it’s hard to make a movie about something so intricately complicated as the ending of love. And yet, oftentimes the ending of a relationship doesn’t mean the ending of love. Seen in this movie is such an ending. The relationship …

The Prince of Tides film
From 1991, The Prince of Tides stars Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte. Sometimes I find it hard to believe those two made an on-screen couple, but they definitely did. Also in the film, which Streisand directed, are Blythe Danner, Melinda Dillon, Kate Nelligan, George Carlin, and, making …

“Full Metal Jacket” (1987 film)
Obviously, a review of ANY Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have the usual raves (visually stunning, technically masterful!) and the usual criticisms (the acting can feel a little…robotic at times, and there’s generally a certain bleak, emotionally distant view of the human condition). Those definitely apply to Kubrick’s …

42, movie (2013)
Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …
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 …
Little miss sunshine movie
Little miss sunshine is a really family oriented movie. If it did not have so much profanity, it probably would have been really successful as a mainstream movie. A dysfunctional family is coming together going on a road trip because the little girl wants to be in a little …
Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.
Danny Archer (Leonardo …
Bubble (2005)
I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …
Movie: The Prowler
I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …
Accattone movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most controversial filmmakers of his time, mostly for his extremely grotesque depiction of Marquis de Sades novel The 120 days of sodom, but also because he was openly homosexual which wasn’t fully accepted in Italy back then. Pasolini was murdered for mysterious …
Fantastic Four Movie
We recently rented and watched Fantastic Four. I hated Spider Man and then loved Spider Man 2 and 3, so I figured I would give comic book movies another chance. Fantastic Four was a decent movie. It had good flow, a nice and friendly end, and of course a …

Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
No Country For Old Men
This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …

I watched this movie a little while ago. It was a pretty good movie overall. I liked it for the most part. I thought that it was very interesting and entertaining throughout the movie. It had my attention throughout the movie, I never got bored of watching it. It …

I must also add that “The Chronicles of …
Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …
Movie Monster Man
Monster Man is a horror comedy movie that starred by Eric Jungmann and Justin Ulrich. Why it’s called horror comedy movie? Because I think it’s full of intends but it’s also funny and the story is doesn’t make any sense.
Monster Man begin when Adam (Eric Jungmann) wanna attending Betty …

Snow Angels
I don’t really even know where to begin with this movie. I don’t know what to say about it. Overall it was an alright movie, I liked some part of it and I didn’t like some part of it. I think for the most part I didn’t like the …
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable. However tightly the second movie concluded, however finally that last act seemed; box office gain would always dictate another movie would be made. Unfortunately, Terminator 3 neither provides a worthy successor to its predecessors, …
Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
Based on a short story by horror fiction writer Stephen King, “Hearts of Atlantis” is an interesting, sensitive movie. Produced by Castlerock Entertainment, the 2001, color movie lasts for 101 minutes. It’s interesting how some of the short stories of Stephen King make charming, innocent stories. I’m not a …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …

Movie The Bad Seed
I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …
Themroc movie
A very unusual french film almost completely without dialogue. This is all about how people act instead of what they say, and in that sense I have to say it is really impressive. The story is that of the crazy man Themroc, who acts like some madman with compassion …
Life in the Artic Zone documentary
My youngest son is a big fan of non-fictional films; as a result, I get “suckered” into watching them with him.
“Life in the Artic Zone” is a narrative documentary that covers the Artic region of Northern Canada. You get to spend on hour watching life as it happens in …
The 40-Year Old Virgin (UR, 2005) movie
I underrated the quality of this film. As usual, I passed this over in movie theatres because I felt that perhaps it would be just too silly. And this time I was right—but it was silly in a fabulous way. I love how the humor is …
