Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …
The Patriot Movie
The filmmaker Roland Emmerich have for quite a long time been renowned for his peculiar way of waving with the american flag in his films, and The Patriot is, not very unexpected, the same thing.
Mel Gibson is an american family father in america in the late 18th century. A …
Movie UHF
Weird Al Yankovic has always been a controversial singer and is definitely no actor. But, his movie UHF is an instant classic that should be shown more on television.
Yankovic stars as a guy who inherits a near-bankrupt television station and ends up turning the station around, causing a head …
Saw
Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …
Movie Knowing
I was rather excited about seeing this movie. I like Nicolas Cage and I like Science Fiction so I had great expectations but got pretty disappointed. I mean, the movie is not that bad but it is less than I was expecting.
The movie starts when a class of elementary …
A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …
Die Another Day movie
Don’t ask me why, but for some reason they made another Bond film after the complete failure of The World is Not Enough. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason I used my money to see it. Perhaps because I am such a big fan of the older …
Streetfighter (movie)
What can I say Streetfighter is probably one of the worst movies based on a video game ever made. This movie tried to use the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme but not even that was able to save the movie. The probably with Streetfighter was that the people who …
Jackie, 2016 movie
Grief is universal. People can be rich; can be poor; can be famous; can be no one; or can be a first lady like Jackie Kennedy - all of whom will experience the loss of a loved one. You either cry or you try to act like a strong person …
King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …
The man with the movie camera movie
Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …
Voodoo Lagoon movie
Starring: Ashley Hamilton (Tom), Lara Cox (Carolina), Lincoln Lewis (Aaron), Natalie Blair (Kate), Beau Brady (Lee), Kelly Atkinson (Jessica), John Noble (Ben), Kristian Schmid (Kevin)
The synopsis on the DVD cover looked interesting at first; eerie voodoo happenings on a secluded tropical island. However it was more …
Deja Vu (movie)
When I read the description of Denzel Washington’s movie, Dejavu, I thought it sounded interesting. And, after watching it, I have to say it was even better than expected.
Washington plays an investigator for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who is brought in to investigate the explosion of …

Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.

Prince of Persia (2010 Film)

Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
Kramer versus Kramer movie
Kramer versus Kramer is not a recent movie and it is all for some years on dvd available but in my opinion it is a movie that you can see every year without boring you.
The proof that this movie is a good one is because of the 5 oscars: …

The Day After Tomorrow
After watching The Day After Tomorrow, I have come to believe in goodness again. This movie has a great storyline, telling us how man is corrupt and only long for their self-interest and that is why the earth must die. I am not going to ruin the movie for …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
Blood Diamond
‘Blood Diamond’ is a movie directed by Edward Zwick. Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsoun are the main actors. They have performed well in the movie. Diamonds are a status of wealth, but if you watch this movie, you will come to know that in the places where diamonds are …
The Martian (Film 2015)
I just watched The Martian in theaters today and this Matt Damon led space thriller was absolutely phenomenal. It is one of those movies where you walk out and feel like you enjoyed a full meal and not cheated out of $10.50…and you get to see Childish Gambino in …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Thelma & Louise movie
Thelma & Louise is the ultimate chick flick. Played by Geena Davis (Thelma) and Susan Sarandon (Louise), you could not ask for better acting. Girlfriends Thelma and Louise have a weekend getaway trip planned. They head off for some rest and relaxation but on the way make a stop …
Ever After Movie
There are so many different versions of the Cinderella story out there, but “Ever After” is by far the greatest of them all, and my favorite movie of all time. What makes this movie different from the others is that they made the movie in a very realistic …

Mamma Mia!

The Fall of the Roman Empire movie
A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

Chicken Little movie
When it comes to being a good family film, Chicken Little falls a little short.
What could have been a great story about a chicken who tries to convince the town he\’s not insane when he gets hit on the head with a piece of the sky, turns out to …
A Few Good Men
Another smashing performance from Jack Nicholson, whether he plays a good or bad character, he is always lovable. This courtroom drama is intense. Definitely a thinking persons movie. A drama worth the time and money spent. The staring roles with adequately placed and they pulled off a magnificent performance. …
500 Days of Summer movie
I rented 500 days of summer knowing nothing about it except that it starred Joseph Gordon Levitt who is best known for playing the Alien, Tommy on the sitcom “Third Rock From the Sun,” and Zooey Deschanel. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie, but found …

House Bunny
I’m not usually a fan of these comedy/blonde movies…I usually assume they lack substance and are predictable. When I watched House Bunny however, even though it was somewhat predictable, I couldnt help but be entertained.
The movie was basically about a Playboy model who thought she was expelled by …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
13 Ghosts (movie)
13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …
