Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …
Hate Crime movie
Hate Crime is a movie that came out recently. It is little known, but should be better known , because it is a very good movie. First off, the movie was technically very well done- good camera work, good acting, etc. I always watch for those kinds of things …

Reno 911! Miami (Movie)

I had hoped New Moon would be better than the Twilight movie> I had read the books and unlike every teenage girl in teh world I thought they were rubbish.
So when I went to New Moon I had the previous history with teh books and the Twilight movie …
Arizona Days movie
Arizona Days, one of the many western motion pictures released way back in 1937, was just Tex Ritter’s 3rd movie. As one of the new singing cowboys, the big thing to note here is that his trusted horse, White Flash, wasn’t credited yet. That would change soon, …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) movie
Before I went into the cinema, I had higher expectations from the movie because I had already watched a trailer of the film a long as soon as it was out. I was really excited to see the film, I like Jennifer Garner, and she is definitely one of …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
POLAR EXPRESS DVD
Do YOU believe in Santa? I mean, do you REALLY believe? You know, you cannot hear the bells of Christmas, if you don\’t really believe, according to the DVD, The Polar Express! This is a wonderful family movie that is just so delightful to watch with the entire family. …
Police Woman - The Complete First Season
This movie DVD, Police Woman - The Complete First Season is really lame. There is truly nothing at all that I could comment on which would give it even the tiniest bit of positiveness. It is inspired from the TV series which have up to 23 episodes …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
Spraggue movie
Michael Nouri has the title role in the 1984 film, Spraggue. Glynis Johns, James Cromwell, and Mark Herrier co-star. This has all the earmarks of a TV pilot, complete with title of “Murder for Two.” It may have been shown on one of the mysteries of …

The Maid - A Horror Movie
I have seen the DVD and CD of the movie The Maid when I was in the Philippines, but I did not pay attention to it. It didn’t make big on screen. Because I have never heard any news or promotional tour about the movie.
The …
Splice (Movie) 2009
I was really intrigued with this movie “Splice” that I finally decided to see it for myself. I have been putting off seeing it for the longest time because my husband did not want to watch it. I finally had the time of day to see it finally.
Splice is …
Anna and the King
I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
I actually thought that The Matrix was a done deal…no sequels involved (boy was i wrong). Reloaded came to stir up more trouble for our guys in shiney leather and dark glasses. What is there to say about this installation of The Matrix saga…other than it’s long, it’s dull, …
Waking Up in Reno movie
Waking Up in Reno is a quirky movie that was released in 2002 after a long and oft-postponed opening. This is another movie that surprised me with all the difficulties of being released. It had a stellar cast, but for some reason, there were an abundance of …
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is certainly enjoyable, and I dare to say that it is better than the first version, most definitely. I went with a bunch of friends to catch it the first day it was released in my country but my whole friends do …
1408 Movie
I have seen a lot of scary movies in my life but I have to say that 1408 was very possibly the scariest. There are few movies I can think of, certainly made recently, that have so effectively scared the willies out of me. I was actually …
Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …

Good Luck Chuck
I just finished watching the ‘unrated’ version of the DVD for this movie, and I must say, it’s totally hilarious. The building up of the movie about Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) being hex by the girl that he refused to make out with when they were young until him …
Vacancy movie
What a messed up movie. The NRA should seriously show this to far left people who want to get as close to repealing the Second Amendment as humanly possible as it’s situations like this where having a gun would be really good.
This isn’t a political piece by any …
Pulp Fiction Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I wasn’t too sure where it was leading me…it was abit confusing at times, but, then it started to make sense. This is a very good thinking persons movie. It slices and dices and cuts corners without question, and it is still …
The Godfather Movie
A film I consider to be one of the best films ever made is “The Godfather,” made in 1972 and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
As close as any film will ever come to being a true masterpiece, “The Godfather” set a new standard of excellence that has only been …
Gladiator
Alright, you probably now about the movie Gladiator by now. You’ve heard the stories about its gore and fighting. Well honestly, you have too see this movie. It is superb. Russell Crowe is at his finest moment of acting in this movie. HE plays the main character so well …
Public Enemies movie
My wife and I ended up finally watching the Johnny Depp film Public Enemies last night. It was an OK movie but I will confess, I expected it to be somewhat better than it was.
Depp does an excellent job as John Dillinger, public enemy number 1 who is hunted …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …

American Vampire
I picked up the movie American Vampire in the $1 section at Walmart and now know why, until I bought it, I had never heard of it.
The movie reminded me a lot of the bad vampire movies that were frequent throughout the 80s. It had it all, teenagers being …

Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
The man in the iron mask

Frozen Fever (2015 Animated Short Film)
After over a year, the long awaited sequel to the smash hit Frozen has finally arrived and I have to say that it is a major disappointment.
The story is awfully slight and I know that they couldn’t do much in 7 minutes, but this is too slight regardless. The birthday …
Cloak & Dagger
This film came out shortly after Henry Thomas came to worldwide attention in E.T. Well-cast in this role, this was the type of role best suited for Henry Thomas. He comes across as a kid with a great imagination and this movie blends both creatively.
It is the story of …
The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …

Diary of a Mad Black Woman
OK, when I was forced to watch Tyler Perry’s movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I wasn’t happy about it. I don’t mind romantic comedies but I figured this was going to be your typical chick flick; with non-stop man bashing.
Fortunately, I was wrong and this turned out …
Dracula Untold (Movie)
Dracula Untold is a 2014 action, drama and fantasy movie directed by Gary Shore. After knowing it’s title I thought it would be some sort of vampire horror movie, but after I watched the trailer it didn’t seemed scary to me at all. In fact, I found the movie to …

Gigli (2003)
When will these couples learn that starring in a movie together only brings trouble, then gain, they live their lives in the publics eye anyway, so this is like second nature to them. This movie, starring Jennifer Lopez as a mobster and lesbian and Ben Affleck as a whiney …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
