Movie Dead Birds
My cousin brought this movie by for me to watch the other day because she has been borrowing a lot of mine. I just watched it a couple of hours ago. It was a pretty good movie all around. I think it could have been better but overall it …
The Mist
Frank Darabont had proven himself a skilled director when it came to adapting Stephen King’s works to film. He created a modern masterpiece with “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” was also very well done. For the first time, the director gets to tackle a horror …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals. I love the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I think he’s a genius). I especially love ‘The Music of the Night’. That’s why when I heard that it was going to be made into a movie, I …
The Helen Morgan Story movie
I absolutely adore The Helen Morgan Story. It’s an oldie, from 1957, but it is so tragically romantic that I was drawn to it from the first time I saw it. Helen Morgan was a singer and actress who made a name for herself on Broadway. …
The Incredibles Movie
A great family movie for kids and parents to enjoy together is Disney’s The Incredibles. This unique story about a group of retired superheros is not only highly amusing for the older people in the household, but also for the younger ones! The characters, like so many …
For Richer or Poorer movie
For Richer or Poorer is about a couple Brad and Carolina Sexton who are living high off the hog one day and sleeping in a cow pasture the next. As it turns out their accountant rips them off and leaves them holding the bag owing the IRS three million …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
Lucy (2014 film)
While the trailers made this movie look like a formulaic popcorn flick, I had heard generally good things about this movie. The truth is, it is something of a mixed bag.
As the trailers show, the movie follows a young woman (played by Scarlett Johansson) who becomes something superhuman …
The Carson City Kid movie
Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.
Rogers played a man masquerading …

Open Range
There are not that many western made these days and when you see one that is recent I normally like to see an actor that I appreciate.
I like Robert Duvall, and I like Kevin Costner and I adore Annette Beinning. A few years ago this western came …
A Walk to Remember
If you want a good movie to cry at, A Walk to Remember is that movie for you. The main characters are played by Shane West and Mandy Moore. It’s based on a high school girl with terminal illness. She’s different from everyone else but people can’t help but …
Jerry Maguire
It’s quite sad that Tom Cruise ain’t acting in movies as gorgeously good as Jerry Maguire anymore. I caught this movie when it was first released on theaters and then later caught it on again on DVD. I was not bored at all watching it.
The storyline …
Godzilla Raids Again
Godzilla Raids Again is the second movie released just a couple of years after the first Godzilla movie. Still shot in black and white, the story follows the emergence of a second Godzilla as well as a new monster that has a spiked back, horns and sharp teeth. Not …
Click movie
Click is a 2006 movie starring Adam Sandler about a man who buys a universal remote control with the special ability to fast forward and pause time, to get through the boring stuff and leave more time for himself, he soon discovers the remote control also has a memory …
Take The Lead movie
I was able to watch Antonio Banderas mostly n action films, so I never really thought that he can dance.
I love this movie so much since it is a very realistic one, it really talks about the life of high school students. I can relate to the girl seeking …
Redbox DVD Rental
I rent from the kiosk machine Redbox. It is conveniently located in a lot of grocery stores, gas stations, and some drug stores. I was previously renting from a movie rental store and would often get aggravated when I would turn in the movie a day late and would …
Family Guy
Family Guy is one of the best new cartoons to come out! Wow these are so many great characters in this how. I could go on about just Stewie in this review. That is how great he is. Petter Griffin is just funny. I mean even the way he looks …
Napoleon Dynamite (2008)
There is a good reason why this movie has turned into success- no doubt about it, it is one funny movie. A word of caution must be brought though- it is the classical example to the kind of movies that you are not supposed to watch by yourself. The …
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 …
Movie The Saint
I must admit that “The Saint” is one of those movies that I keep watching and watching. I truly enjoy it every time I see it. I think the most interesting aspect of this movie is the right mixture between action and romance together with great work from the …
Mr. Brooks movie
I loved watching this movie. It’s about man who is sometimes controlled by the other side of him. I think that they did an amazing job how they captured the other side of him, how they did the whole movie. Kevin Costner plays mr. brooks. He does a great …
The Pursuit of Happyness Movie
Wow, what an awesome movie! The Pursuit of Happyness is an outstanding, moving movie that will have you crying, laughing and leave you inspired to do something great with your life. There is greatness locked up within each one of us, and the key to unlock our potential lies …
Dawson’s Creek
When Dawson’s Creek was on the air in primetime, my daughter was a teenager. She used to bug me to watch it and we began “letting” her take over the TV to watch it each week. At first, her Dad and I would go sit outside or do …
Red Dawn (1984)
There is some controversy about this movie and the date it was released, to the effect that it was the very first movie to have a Motion Picture Association rating of PG-13 due to the excessive violence that the movie offered. Now I say to you my good viewing …
Blood: The Last Vampire
I watched Blood: The Last Vampire recently and it is such a good movie. Saya is this kind-heart half vampire and half human girl and she has a mission. Which is to kill Onigen, this very evil one of a kind type of vampire. Even though Saya …
Movie UP
I am reviewing the 2009 Disney movie, UP. This movie was directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, and was written by Bob Peterson and Pete Docter. This movie starred the voices of Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer (as Charles Muntz), and Jordan Nagai (as Russell).
In this movie, Charles Muntz …
The Cable Guy movie
This was a film that was a big disappointment for many when it came out, but has been revalued among certain people and is considered as the funniest film of the whole 1990s by some of my friends. The story is that of a cable guy played by Jim …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I Know What You Did Last Summer with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michele Gellar, Freddie Prince Jr., Ryan Phillippe, and Anne Heche.
This is a classic in the terror genre of killer stalker movies and is rightfully so a model for many copycats to come. The …
Epic Movie
It’s been since last night since I watched Epic Movie and I’m still a bit torn about whether I liked the movie or not. Well, maybe I should rephrase that, I did like it, I’m just not sure if I should have been disappointed in it.
Epic Movie was an …
Blockbuster Video
We have often rented movies at Blockbuster, but lately we have been checking out a smaller video store down the road.
When the smaller store down the road does not have the movie we are looking for, we head to Blockbuster. The reason we opt to go to the smaller …
Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
The Men Who Stare at Goats
I really didn’t know what to expect when I went to the theatre to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats, but from what I had read and seen, I was intrigued enough to actually not wait to see it on DVD, which is unusual for me. Plus, I …
Avatar in Digital 3D
I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …
Enchanted
I was finally able to watch Enchanted on cable on HBO a couple of weeks ago and I just absolutely love it. I was so used to seeing Disney movies create cartoons and yes, I like it. But this time, they were able to incorporate a magical story with …

Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …

Movie : Dolan’s Cadillac (2009)
When I saw this movie the firs thing that surprised me was Christian Slater was still acting. I was sure he had dissapeared into oblivion years ago, but based on his starrign role in the film he obviously still has a lot left to offer the cinema world and …
The China Syndrome
There are times when you like that life imitates art, but that wasn’t the case with this motion picture. Just days after the release of The China Syndrome, a story about a nuclear power plant on the verge of a complete meltdown, the very real Three Mile Island …

Adventureland (2009) Movie
If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …
The grudge 2
I watched the grudge 2 a while ago. There are a couple of things about the movie that I didn’t like. First of, I think they should have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie a lot longer than they did. Second, there were parts that were supposed to …
The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The plot was something I hadn’t seen executed so well in a long time. …

300 Movie
Intense action and extreme fighting scenarios of this movie had me repeatedly saying my favorite exclamation phrases. The movie 300 DID bring the Spartans to their greatest glory! Knowing that this had happened in real life thousands of years ago (based on what I have read) added my fascination …
