Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
Pocahontas
I love the story of Pocahontas even in the book so when I had the chance to see the animated movie I really never missed it. I enjoyed watching it since it is a different kind of story and also it has a combination of reality and magic. I …
Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …
The Pursuit of Happyness
I am a person who frequently struggles to see the point in going through life on a day to day basis but every once in a while I see a movie that makes me feel lucky to be alive. For me,”The Pursuit of Happyness” was one of those movies. …
Netflix
This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …

The Village (2004 Movie)
M. Night Shyamalan has another best selling thriller and decides to make it into a movie…bad idea, very bad idea as you do a very good job taking the life from the book. maybe he should stick to writing the books and leave to directing to those who seem …
Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)
For all you horror fans out there, if you want to see a genuinely creepy movie that you will not forget, then rent “Alice, Sweet Alice.” In this movie, a young girl (played by Brooke Shields in one of her first roles) is murdered in church on the day …
Yes Man movie
Yes Man is another great comedy starring Jim Carey. The movie hit the number one spot in office this weekend and it did better than Will Smith’s Seven Pounds. The movie is a success. You will get nothing but laugh with Jim Carey. There is a lot of laugh. …
Race to Witch Mountain - (starring Dwayne Johnson)
Race to Witch Mountain is a brilliant movie that I recommend most of you out there to watch. It is clean, the script and dialogs are also clean and the cast an amazing one. Starring Dwayne Johnson and the brilliant and smart kids in the movie too, whom …
The Hottie & The Nottie
Considering it had Paris Hilton in the starring role and the fact it came straight to DVD, I had a lot of doubts about the film The Hottie & The Nottie.
After all, this is 2008, you would think a movie that focuses just on a woman’s looks rather than …
Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA DVD
Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium OVA DVD is a collection of shorts of Fullmetal Alchemist characters based off events during and after the first anime series and has nothing to do with the new Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood series.

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
American Pie: Book of Love Movie
I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …
Patton,1970 movie
George C. Scott stars as General George Patton, the American World War II hero and a rather controversial figure. General Patton takes command of the US Third Army after the Americans have suffered defeat in their first battle with the Germans at the Kasserine Pass, Tunisia. The first thing …
Movie : Angel Of Death (2009)
I really wasn’t expecting much when I sat down the other night to watch the 2009 movie ANGEL OF DEATH. I have to admit that I usually have a bit of a problem with movies that have strong female leads characters as the film-makers usually get it so wrong.
…

Goodrich Canton Cinemas
I have never gotten good customer service at this Canton movie theater. On my birthday, I was directed toward the wrong theater and I ended up missing the movie I wanted to see. A couple ahead of us in line ordered tickets to a movie called “The American”, which …
Things We Lost in the Fire
The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …
Deja Vu (2006)
Denzel Washington stars as a special investigator. In the beginning of this movie, a terrible crime was committed by a psychotic so-called patriot…he blew up a ferry with lots of people on it (Men, women, children). After the explosion and the days following, Denzel and his team go through …
Movie The DaVinci Code
I was apprehensive about watching ‘The DaVinci Code’ as books turned into movies rarely translate well to the big screen. I must admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor of cryptology, who is the chief suspect in the murder of Jacques …
Friday the 13th Part 5
I think one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when you have a gorgeous blonde who is trying to hook up with a goofy, balding man. Every time I see the movie, I start laughing. I realize that it is supposed to be a small town, but …
Alive movie
A film which I think has had a very big impact on my life is the film “Alive” which I watched in the early 2000s even though it was released in nineteen ninety three.Before I watched the movie, my mother had told me about the actual situation several times …
Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
Kill Bill 2
My mind flies to the time I had seen Kill Bill 1, on the very first night it had been given to the crowd. I, as everybody else who rispected Q. Tarantino, waited for another grand work on the big screen.
I still remember the crowd’s reactions that night.
Now, after …
Corpse Bride (2005)
Corpse Bride, directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some scary images and action, and brief mild language. The original release date for this movie was September 23, 2005 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the …
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is a very funny show indeed. If you have not yet watch this, I highly recommend. I will always love Garfield. He is just so, so funny. And especially a good watch with the voice-over by Bill Murray.
You …
“All the King’s Men” The removie: (2006)
After I watched “All the King’s Men” and wrote my review I read some other reviews. For a minute I thought I had watched a totally different movie. Almost universally “All the King’s Men” was panned by the critics. The movie was not just panned but picked to pieces …
HER, the movie (2013)
HER is one of the most interesting, innovative, and highly acclaimed films of 2013. Critics and audiences alike are passionate about this film. So what’s the reason? Initially, I thought it was solely because of the trendiness of this project, its sci-fi shell, and put the pretty picture.
But how …
Netflix
I’ve taken the time to review Netflix before and still remain as big of a fan of the company as I was months ago.
But, I recently purchased a new computer and because of that, I was able to unlock the full potential of the Netflix site. If I was …
Coraline (Animation)
Coraline, the animation movie, is pretty scary. I don’t know if most kids would love to watch this. However, I find this to be like a dark animation or some sort and don’t mind watching.
Kids nowadays are more braver, so I think they can take this. With voice-over …
Get Smart (2008 movie)
Get Smart isn’t the latest film out. It actually is a pretty old film as it was released in 2008. Nevertheless, my iTunes balance was running low and I wanted to use my remaining balance on a cheap film.
Get Smart remind of of Johnny English. This movie really …
Perfect Blue (Psychological thriller-horror Anime)
I can’t believe it, the best psychological thriller-horror film I watched this year actually comes from an anime. I have never thought anime could be this good and thrilling, but Perfect Blue just proved me wrong.
Perfect Blue is a 1997 Japanese psychological thriller-horror anime film directed by Satoshi Kon and …
Head over Heels comedy
When my wife rented Head Over Heels this weekend I thought, “Great, another chick flick.” But, I was pleasantly surprised to find it both funny and charming.
The movie centers around a museum worker who rents a room shared by a bunch of super models. When the museum worker falls …
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 Forbidden Kingdom movie
The Forbidden Kingdom starring kung fu masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li for the first time together on the same screen. When I first went into the movie theatre I think I overhyped the movie. After watching the whole movie in it’s entirety, I was actually disappointed …
A Goofy Movie
If you have read my review of An Extremely Goofy Movie then you already know that I liked this movie. I realize that its a bit sad but the characters are just so endearing that its impossible not to love them.
In this movie Max discovers the wonderful world …
