Movies Reviews
Inception (2010 movie)
I saw the trailer for this movie in theaters before, and it did not pique my interest. It seemed like just an action movie with some plot that is intended to be epic, but not really so. However, I heard that it is a really intense and deep movie, …
Twilight (2008 Movie)
Twilight became a fast phenomenon this past year due to the hype caused by the movie that was produced. Stephanie Meyer wrote a classic novel about the love between a vampire and and human that will be a favorite among young people for generations to come. However, …
Last Vegas (2013 Film)
Last Vegas is a comedy film I was eager to see after viewing the trailer for it one evening. I wasn’t hesitant in watching it due to all the veteran actors that would be starring in the film. I just knew that a film with Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, …
Horsemen of the Apocalypse film
This film is confusing. No, let me re-phrase - that makes it sound like I am not particularly bright, and the plot got way ahead of me and induced a migraine. Not that I claim to be super intelligent either. But anyway.
This film is confused. It’s a mess of …
Movie The Messengers
I am reviewing the movie, The Messengers. Okay, so at the beginning there is this family being terrorized. There is a little boy, a girl, and a mother. Each one gets killed. Flash ahead years. A new family is moving into the same house where these murders took place. …
The House Bunny
The House Bunny is a chick flick or a date movie and you would either love or hate it. There are lots of date movies nowadays and it’s quite hard to choose the best of the best. But it so happens that when The House Bunny was released …
Oceans Movie
Recently the movie Oceans became available on Netflix instant queue and I immediately added it. I am a big fan of nature movies because they offer a glimpse of an extremely beautiful world that most of us hardly ever get to see to the extent that it deserves. Oceans …
Clueless
Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …
Ploning Movie
It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.
And then along came Ploning.
Judy Ann Santos speaking Cuyunon in Cuyo, Palawan with numerous unknown faces is the making …
Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …
Zodiac (R, 2007) movie
I will admit that this movie seemed a little slow to me at first. I had seen the other Zodiac movie (slightly better than a B movie) and this one was much more thorough. Jake Gyllenhaal provided a very believable performance. But overall, I …

Hulk vs Thor (movie)
I was never really interested in the Thor comic book series when I was a little girl, but ever since I watched the movie “Thor” and “The Avengers”, an interest in the marvel character has been kindled. Therefore, from time to time I find movies and stories about the …
Once Upon a Time in the West Movie
Sergio Leone was a filmmaker who loved western films above anything, and his dollar trilogy is one of the most powerful love letters ever written in cinema history. With Once Upon a Time in the West he continued on that same line, but developed his visual style to the …
Letters to Juliet movie
As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …
As young as you feel movie
We had some free time last night so my wife and I decided to watch one of the Marilyn Monroe movies we had on our Netflix Player; As Young As You Feel.

Grave Encounters horror movie
Recently, I was with a group of friends and we were searching for a scary movie to watch. We were looking through the Netflix “instant viewing” horror page, and one of my friends picked out the film Grave Encounters. It was a straight to DVD horror film, and it …

Cold Mountain
At first, I had a hard time getting myself to watch the movie “Cold Mountain” especially since I thought it would have been a Western, and I have a strong dislike for Westerns. However, recently when I was at a friend’s house, I found the DVD and decided to …

The Haunted Mansion (2003)
This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …
Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …

Thirteen Ghost’s (2001 Film)
The 2001 film Thirteen Ghosts does wonders if you are looking to be scared of things that go bump in the night, or the things you can’t see that go bump in the night. But other than the scary ghost that left me wondering if I was truly alone, …
Kill Theory movie
A friend of mine had the DVD for Kill Theory, and I decided to kill time while I was at their house and watch it, even though even the title seemed very corny to me, and I’m usually very wary of a lot of horror movies that seem to …
Miami Vice
I used to hear a lot about the nineteen eighties series “Miami Vice” but since I was born in the eightites, I never got a chance to see what it was like. However, when I saw the movie Miami Vice, starring Colin Farrel and Jamie Fox I thought it …
Who Is Clark Rockefeller? movie

The X-Files: I Want to Believe
After a phenomenal television series, I was extremely disappointed with “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” by Chris Carter. Five or six years after Special Agent Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully escaped from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the FBI acquired a case which needed the expertise …
The Inbetweeners Movie
Let’s be honest, you can count great UK youth flicks on one hand. So Olly Murs hats off, then, to The Inbetweeners Movie, an upgrade for the E4 teen comedy that matches the gag rate of any film this summer and delivers it with the panache of the Yanks but …
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie
After the success of Transformers in 2007, I couldn’t wait to see what they would do with the Transformers next. To be honest, I loved and hated Transfromers Revenge of the Fallen. For many different reasons. I did not think that Revenge of the Fallen was as good or …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Actually, i don’t like Brad Pitt act that much accept when he play the mr & mrs smith, besides that the others are too usual for me. But this time is different, i love his new movie.
“I was born different.” That was the first word and the beginning of …
Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay
Normally, whenever a movie is a surprise hit, someone can’t wait to make a sequel to it and, more often than not, that sequel doesn’t even come close to the original.
This was the case of Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
The first movie, Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
In the Valley of Elah
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, In the Valley of Elah, starring Tommy Lee Jones. The movie focuses on Hank Deerfield, the father of an American soldier gone missing in Iraq. Throughout the course of the film, Hank desperately tries to piece together what happened to his son, Mike. …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
Burn Before Reading movie
Like many others I was looking forward to watch the movie ‘Burn After Reading’. This is a comedy where George Clooney and Brad Pitt join forces with the Coen brothers as directors of this movie. Apart from the fact that I much prefer Clooney and Pitt in much …
Coach of the Year movie
Coach of the Year was a spunky football movie issued in 1980 and which starred Robert Conrad as a paralyzed football player. Conrad always prided himself on his physical prowess. His toughness was part of his real life persona as well as a staple of the roles …
Wadjda (movie)
One of the reasons why I love Starz Cinema so much is because it sometimes brings my fix of foreign movies that I’m positive I will never see on any other channel that I have. Up to very recently, one of those was a movie made by Saudi Arabian …
Shaun of the Dead Movie(2004)
Horror with a pinch of comedy…you have to love it whether you want to or not. A genius twist to killing and rampaging carnage. Now here is a movie with vision and character. There is nothing more to add about this film…it’s pure genius. Just watch and anjoy.
Rating: 10 …
Deja Vu
The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …
State of Play the Movie
With Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Helen Mirren in the cast, it is hard to go wrong with it. The story revolves around a congressman who had an affair with his researcher who gets killed. I love Ben Affleck’s acting here, especially when he was announcing into one of …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
Batman Begins
This is the first batman movie that had all the ideals of Batman character. It is fantastic movie. I liked it a lot. If you really want to know about batman go and watch this movie. It shows how a rich boy comes to street and then becomes batman …

Two unemployed actors get tired of hanging around and doing nothing in London, so they decide to go on a journey to the countryside for a while. They soon come to understand that this maybe wasn’t really such a good idea as they find it incredibly difficult to settle …
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …
Terry Tate Office Line Backer
I was watching youtube at one time because I got curious about the fact some people mentioned the name Terry Tate and it sounded laughter to me. So purposely looked for him over youtube and I got their point. Terry Tate is another fictional character (played by Mighty …
Stargate
Since the dawn of movie making, there have always been a few actors that take weird, off the wall, ecentric roles instead of traditional leading men or leading lady roles. Such is true with current Boston Legal actor, James Spader. He appeared in a great 1994 film called Stargate …
Sliding Doors comedy
This would be just another romantic comedy were it not for its original storyline. It tells the story of a young girls, who’s just had a terrible day. She’s been fired and when she’s running to get onto the subway, a weird thing happens. The reality sort of split into …
