Star Trek: Generations (1994)
“Star Trek: Generations” is, in my opinion, the best of the Star Trek movies. I love the way it blended the cast of the original series with that of Star Trek: The Next Generation, even though they were 78 years apart in time. The way they did this was …
Mean Girls movie
If there was any movie that made Lindsay Lohan the celebrity she is now, Mean Girls would be it. As Cady, the smart-yet-uncool new girl from Africa who made the fearless journey from homeschooling to the uncharted territories of the American high school safari, Lohan appeared quite the …

Movie: “The Road to El Dorado” (2000)
From the beginning, I was impressed with Dreamworks and their beautifully animated feature films. “The Road to El Dorado” is no exception, with its lively musical score, all-start voice cast, and enchanting animation.
It’s Spain in the year 1519; Miguel (Kenneth Branagh) and Tulio (Kevin Kline), thieves and con artists, …
DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008) Movie
I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.
All …

Remember Me Movie
Okay, I admit it I only watched this movie because of Robert Pattinson and their beautiful movie poster that hung at the cinema every time I pass by. Having said that, I find the movie a bit dragging and the emotions they portray are blown out of proportion. …
Untraceable (2008)
Untraceable (2008)is directed by the Gregory Hobilt. I thought this is going to be another boring DVD, with just a normal action flick story. But the storyline is real awesome. It is about this serial killer on the rise who projected his crimes and action deeds …

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …

How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010) Animated

The Raven (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Raven” I thought that it seemed like it had a lot of potential. I might not have known at the time that the title was the same as a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe a little before he …
The Kingdom

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
I only rented this movie because I wanted to see a really intriguing suspense film with Michael Douglas. He tends to be in films that have lots of steamy action and great cinematic tension. This film was about a D.A. who was running for office. …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
Far and Away movie
Though I tend to love a Ron Howard movie because it’s most always well crafted and told with respect as well as flair, I hadn’t yet watched Far and Away until a friend sent it to me a while ago. I actually watched it in pieces; couldn’t quite …
The Brothers Grimm film
“The Brothers Grimm” was released in 2005 and–at first glance–seemed to be an intelligent take on those stories that many of us grew up hearing about. I had learned, by way of living for several years with a roommate who majored in film, to be skeptical. If I had …
Wedding Crashers movie
I’ve been getting a little burnt out on Owen Wilson comedies so I didn’t know what to think when I finally watched Wedding Crashers for the first time. It was hillarious.
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn make a great team, pretending to be related to the wedding parties so they …
I am legend
I think “I am legend” is one of the quiet movies, because along the first hour, i just saw a will smith as the center of this movie. It seems that he is the only actor in this movie. In the scene, he shows his self centered. The script …
Nacho Libre (2006 Film)
Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …

My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.

The Departed movie
