Kingdom of Heaven movie
There is something definitely charming about the Kingdom of Heaven movie. Not only is it a wonderful epic movie, but there is a sense of real movie magic and silent dignity hidden somewhere in the lines. It does not set out to be a righteous movie with great ideas …
Paul movie
British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …
Tamara [DVD], horror movie
Oh great a horror movie from Lions Gate that has a hot leading lady, trendy music, and enough promised gore to make a seventeen year old boy jump for joy. This has got to be a classic Halloween movie that will stay in our collections forever. Oh wait never …

When Harry Met Sally was one of Meg Ryan’s old movie. I like her so much as an actress that’s why I bought a DVD of this movie. At first I was skeptical if it was a good movie. I was able to watch it so my verdict is …

I think this first movie …

Caveman
When I was a really young kid, I was infatuated with dinosaurs. I guess every kid probably was. I lived right outside of D.C. so I had no problems with visiting the museum regularly. I remember some cartoons like the Flintstones which celebrated the union between man and reptillian …
Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill
The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …

Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy is a great movie that you must see! Ron Jeremy has starred in nearly 2,000 adult films. He is nicknamed the Hedgehog because he is so short with a big hairy belly. This movie …
The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …
The Conjuring, horror movie
On the whole, Horror is a genre that avoids the avant-garde, particularly the films that Hollywood produces. The Conjuring is little exception to this lack or experimentation.
The film explores issues and themes pertained to countless horror films before it; the main premise being that of a family moving …
The Other Boleyn Girl on DVD
I just watched The Other Boleyn Girl movie on DVD lately as I failed to catch this on theaters when it was shown here in our place. Well, it was having a good audio on DVD and the whole scenes were good to view as there were no interruption.
But …
Cemetery Gates (movie)
Normally I enjoy most creature and scary animal movies, but I found this one a large disappointment. When I first heard about Cemetery Gates I was quite eager to see it as I had never seen a horror movie about a Tasmanian devil. So when I did see it, …
The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Donnie Darko (Movie)
I have been told that I am the last person on earth not to have seen Donnie Darko yet, even though it is a very old movie. I just didn’t get around to it, even though I have most of the movie’s soundtrack on my iPod. The other night, …

The movie centered around a a group of men, who …
The Little Mermaid
This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, film (2003)

Monster Squad
It has been a long while since I got to see the movie Monster Squad. So, when I was bored this weekend, I popped in the 20th anniversary addition I’ve owned but never opened and watched it again.
Overall, I still think it’s a good movie. But, I will confess …
Babes in Toyland 1934 BluRay Movie
Babes in Toyland was released in 1934, in black and white color. This is a classic musical movie with its cuteness and its real singing talent. I was introduced to this movie as a child and had the hardest time trying to find it as an adult because I …

Stargate: Atlantis 501 “Search and Rescue”
Stargate Atlantis season 5 premiere was one of the things I was really waiting for. With all the spoilers out there, I couldn’t imagine how they will make it work. And oh boy, was it worth it.
The episode is an immediate continuation of the season 4 finale. The building …
Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …

Street Kings Movie
I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …
Dead Mans Shoes (2004)
I was just about to go to bed when I thought I would watch the first ten minutes of ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ to see what it was like. I thought it was probably just a silly, violent action film or something but I spent the rest of the …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …
Deck the Halls
Ok, for the record, it’s a bit too early in the year for Christmas movies. For God’s sake, it isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. But, at least the Christmas movie I came across tonight, Deck the Halls, is funny.
I’m actually not a huge fan of Matthew Broderick or of Danny …
Imaginary Playmate

The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
My Bloody Valentine movie
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 …

Da vinci Code movie
I watched this movie with my mother when it first came out. I didn’t understand a lot of it. Unless you know the bible really well I wouldn’t recommend the movie. I was kind of lost throughout the whole movie. My mother knows the bible really well and she …
Fight Club
Many movie critics labelled the movie “Fight Club” as a Brad Pitt movie. Although it is undeniable a very important movie for Pitt, “Fight Club” is an Edward Norton movie. The story is focused totally on Norton’s character and he manages to hold the audience glowed to the screen …
Beowulf
When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …
