Dodgeball movie
Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …
The Last King of Scotland (R, 2006) movie
Forrest Whitaker is a genius in this movie. I knew just from seeing the trailer that this film was going to be terrific. The previews didn’t lie. In fact, the film was better than I expected. The story of Idi Amin is interesting, …
Your Highness - Unrated (2011 movie)
Sometimes I just need to watch something absurd. I know it’s illogical, but that’s what makes it so funny. Danny McBride is a master of this kind of humor. Ever since I saw him in “Eastbound & Down,” I’ve been a huge fan. It’s also …
Moulan Rouge movie
Moulan Rouge is the kind of movie that people either really love or really hate. It is a musical but contains no original music. Normally I would think this was a weakness, but the theme of the movie is a nightclub that caters to a generation of young people …
The Day After Tomarrow Movie
I watched this movie at school a long time ago. The teacher had put it on, and when we watched it, I was one of the only people who paid any attention, and I am guessing that that was because everyone else had already watched it and they knew …
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 …

“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …
Warm Bodies (movie)
Just a few days ago, one of my friends and I went to see the movie “Warm Bodies”, which seemed like one of the few interesting movies going on despite what some people had said about it in reviews on the internet. The few reviews and comments about it …

This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …
Meshes of the Afternoon moive
Perhaps the most important of all experimental films ever made. This was directed by Maya Deren and is and shows one event taking place repeatedly, but each time there is a difference in the way it occurs, only a minor one barely noticable. No matter what you think about …
Protocol movie
Protocol is a nice little comedy about Sunny Davis, a cocktail waitress who saves a dignitary and goes to work for the government. It’s a crazy story that is as probable as it is improbable in this media-conscious world of ours.
Goldie Hawn is Sunny, an upbeat, innocent, and …

13 Going On 30 (movie)

The Holiday
After watching a bunch of ‘chick flicks’ I actually liked, I figured there would be no harm in renting The Holiday. Boy was I wrong.
This has got to be the longest, most boring film I’ve seen this year.
The movie is about two women, one American and one British, who …
Ant-Man (Superhero Movie)
Ant-Man was possibly the only Marvel movie that caught me off-guard because I didn’t remember hearing of the superhero until after I saw the movie trailer, and because I wasn’t sure how seriously I could take one that had shrinking to the size of an ant as a superpower. However, …

Poltergeist
When I was fourteen, this movie scared me. And I felt then, and now, that I don’t scare easily. Very few movies even give me the chills. But Poltergeist scared me, and at the same time thrilled me. It became somewhat of both an embarrassment and a disappointment that …
A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …

Rocky Horror Picture Show
While I’ve never felt the urge to do any cross dressing, I have to admit I’m almost as big of a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as many of the people who do go that far.
I had never seen this movie until I met my wife and …
How She Move (movie)
When I saw the actress Rutina Wesley in the popular cable television series “True Blood”, I could not place my finger on where I had seen her before since she looked so familiar to me, and it was only later that I found out that it was she who …
Ghoulies movie
My wife and I were feeling a bit nostalgic this past weekend and picked up the movie Ghoulies to watch. We both remember watching this movie as kids but couldn’t remember much from it (other than the one popping out of the toilet) and figured it would be worth …
It’s a Wonderful Life by Frank Capra movie
Like thousands before me, I adore Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I initially only consented to watch the movie because James Stewart played the main role. As a teenager, he was one of my idols, and I watched every movie he played in which I could get my …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …
A Night at the Roxbury
I had always heard the movie “A Night at the Roxbury” being mentioned in the media. However, I never had a chance to watch it. In fact, even if I did see it being broadcast on television I might not have watched it because it had a few actors …
The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …

I was really stuck watching this movie. Its a real life story of how the Black Americans fought their way to be able to have the same rights as that of the White Americans. I love seeing this movie since its very informative. Denzel Washington is one of my …

There are not many movies out there that give you something to intellectually pause over. The Bucket List is an exception to that general rule. Typically when we go to the movies, we are lookig for something happy and uplifting to take us away from the real …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
