Taken 2 (2012 movie)
I watched the original Taken movie, which was actually pretty good so I, for one, am glad to see another movie made. Before the movie, I was really worried that it isn’t going to be as interesting as the first one. Loved the gun fights, fist fights, and car …
Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …
Tombstone Movie
With an all star cast and a killer plot, you cannot miss with this movie. It has an abundance of all the right stuff in a classic western, for example, it has lots of shootouts, loads of shootouts. This movie is great…just great, nothing short of what you know …
The Gravedancers, movie
Another installment in the “8 Films to Die For” lineup, “The Gravedancers” is a film about three high school friends reunited by a funeral and facing off in a traditional haunted house fright fest. This is the type of film that reminds me of how a simple story, when …
The Hitcher DVD
This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …
Orlando movie
An adaptation of the novel by Virginia Woolf about a strange human beings who lives for more than 400 years, both as man and woman. In the and this person have lost everything he or she ever had, but finally managed to find the most important thing of all …
Remember Me Movie
Okay, I admit it I only watched this movie because of Robert Pattinson and their beautiful movie poster that hung at the cinema every time I pass by. Having said that, I find the movie a bit dragging and the emotions they portray are blown out of proportion. …
The Curious Case of Benjamen Button movie
The movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was written by F.Scott Fitzgerald. This is a movie about a man who ages in reverse and throughout the movie we would see events about growing up and college times that surround the 19th and 20th century. You would be surprise …
The Unexplained: Hauntings (NR, 1997) DVD
I will confess that I was expecting something a little bit longer. Showing for only 50 minutes, I was looking for a bit more depth. This History Channel program dives into the supernatural, and spends a few minutes with different people who have had experience …
Movie: The Noose Hangs High
Synopsis: Bud Abbott and Lou Costello star as two window washers who are given the task of picking up $50,000 for a local mobster. They are double crossed by the guy giving them the money and, because someone is trying to steal it, come up with a plan to …
Music Within
When I bought a DVD of this movie, I thought it was some sort of a comedy film just like Music and Lyrics, to my surprise it was not really about music. Its more of a reality based movie. This movie really touched my heart while I was watching …
The Contract (R, 2006) movie
Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …
Dream House Movie (2011)
Needless to say that every person walking into the movie theater with me last night to see Dream House had real great expectations from it. And there was no reason not to have them, after all it seemed the movie had all the right ingredients. It had reliable and …
Knock Knock Movie
If you’re thinking of a way to waste an hour and a half of your life, give the movie Knock Knock a try. This movie is a complete waste of time and I don’t know how I ever sat through the whole movie. If you’ve read any of my …
Secretariat movie
Secretariat stars Diane Lane and John Malkovich as well as several other actors and actresses. It is a Disney movie about the great racehorse Secretariat, and the people who stood behind him and trained him to win the Triple Crown and become one of the most famous racehorses ever …
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
Zombiethon [VHS], Horror movie
Going old school with this review and I mean old school. Zombiethon is a VHS that features clips from 7 zombie movies. No, that wasn’t a typo from me; Zombiethon is just a collection of other movies. Why would something like even be created? Maybe the same reason why …
Serving Sara (movie)
“Serving Sara” is the movie where Liz Hurley and Matthew Perry interpret crazy roles. It is a true pity that this movie failed to impress the critics and went straight to video! I must also add that this movie is also the worst movie for Perry who had successful …
McHales Navy movie
The retired old commander named McHale is recalled to the navy after his arch enemy takes over the Island San Marino.
Stupid, stupid movie that almost makes me laugh at how amateurishly made it is. Bruce Campbell is almost charming, but the fact is that he always appeared in second …
Just Go With It Movie
When I first saw this showing in the trailers I said I really needed to watch this as it featured Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, and I saw this the first day it was out and boy I never regretted it! The movie is all about a very successful …
Coraline (Film)
I love Tim Burton movies. I think they make great movies for all different ages, with enough of the eerie element to keep me interested. I fell in love after watching a Nightmare before Christmas; the animation was just so different, three dimensional but not of reality. I was …
What We Do in the Shadows-2014 Comedy, Horror Movie
What We Do in the Shadows is a comedy movie. It is one of the most inventive and unique movies i have ever seen regardless of its extremely low budget. As a matter of first importance, let me tell you that this is neither a Twilight parody nor it have …
The Parent Trap
My mom purchased this version of the classical Parent Trap. I’ve watched it over a hundred times and it still gets me laughing. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t even heard of it or seen it. It’s just another one of those things that gets passed down generation to …
No Smoking Movie
I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …

Ali, directed by Michael Mann is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for some language and brief violence. The original release date was December 25, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Biography/Drama/Sport and stars Will Smith as Cassius Clay aka …

The original release date for this movie was December 27, 2005 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Thriller …
Anchor Man
I am reviewing the movie, Anchorman, which was released in 2005. This movie stars the ever so funny, sometimes ridiculous Will Ferrell as legendary anchorman Ron Burgandy. Burgandy thinks he is something like a god in San Diego, where he is number one anchorman. Everything seems to be running …
Belligerent Ghost
I am reviewing The Case of the Belligerent Ghost, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Ocean’s Eleven Movie
A new version of the 1960 version with Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, which I honestly haven’t been able to find myself. The new version is directed by Steven Soderburgh, a praised director most known for his films Traffic and Erin Brockowich. Personally I think this director is …
Movie - O
“O” turns war into basketball. From the start of the movie, the theme is very similar to Othello. Odin is announced as the most valuable player of the high school basketball team. Odin announces Michael (Cassio in Othello) as the co-most valuable player. Hugo (Iago in Othello) gets jealous …
Taken (2009) Movie
I heard about this movie from my dad, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it because my dad couldn’t stop talking about it! He said that it was a really good movie… and he was right.
I’m not a huge action movie fan. I’m more of a comedy and romance …

Horror-suspense flick “Eden Lake” keeps you breathless and guessing from start to finish.

The Natural movie
“The Natural” starring Robert Redford is one of the greatest movies of all time! It is the story of a boy with the greatest baseball talent of all time. He can pitch, hit, and throw unlike anyone has seen before. More than that, it is the story of the …
The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …
The Reaping (R, 2007) movie
This is not your ordinary horror film. Based on some pretty heavy Biblical references, if you are not into supernatural themes, you will get really bored with this one. That being said, Hilary Swank gives a believable performance in this thriller. This isn’t the type of …
Black Cat Episode 5
Black Cat Episode 5 begins with Sven and Rinslett are hiding Eve while they figure out what to do next and meanwhile Black Cat, Train Heartnet blatantly defies Chronos and leaves the organization.
This episode was really good and gives Train Heartnet a personality; it also shows that he has …
Cars The Movie
The cars movie is a great movie for the whole family. It teaches a lesson and is very entertaining
The cars movie has very nice graphics. Disney did extremely well while making this movie.

The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is the last and final chapter in the Bourne series. Also, in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. This last statement is saying a lot because I really LOVED the first two movies in the series. I though they were some of …
Dan In Real Life
I love writing on this site, it provides me an outlet to share a part of my life. My son and I have developed a tradition of taking time out of busy lives to spend some time with each other, and some people may think its funny, but …
Notes on a Scandal (movie)
Notes on a Scandal, directed by Richard Eyre, is a remarkable movie starring two remarkable actresses: Judy Dench and Cate Blanchett. This Oscar nominated film delves into disturbing territory- it’s plot concerns a young schoolteacher who seeks refuge from a boring marriage and two difficult children in the arms …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
The Little Mermaid
My daughter has dozens of original Disney films in our library for her to watch. One of my favorites of these has to be the classic movie “The Little Mermaid.”
Now, I’ve read the original story (and several other versions) and the movie does clean things up a little bit. …

Movie Cars
Cars is an animation movie which was released in 2006. It was created by Pixar Studios which has already produced some great movies in the past.
Pixar has done a great job by the extremely cool animations and character rendering in this move. The story is that of a rookie …
Sunshine Cleaning
I love the movie poster of Sunshine Cleaning. It is I believe the pictures of Emily Blunt and Amy Adams, with their cleaning utensils. Watched this with my girl mates and 5 of us went. 3 of us decided that the movie was quite a boring watch …
