The movie 300 was a very great movie. At first it was hard to get into but as the movie when on I got really into it and the story behind it. If you like movies that are war-oriented and that have a underlying theme then this …
ATM (2012 horror movie)
I had to admit that the plot for the horror movie “ATM” was certainly unique. It was that which made me interested in viewing it in the first place, even though I honestly had to wonder about how such a plot would be sustainable for an entire feature length film. …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …

Alice In Wonderland (2010 Version)
Alice In Wonderland, Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Disney film actually goes in quite a different direction than what I expected. Obviously with Burton, there’s going to be quite a few twists to the movie and overall sort of a dark or gothic type mood to it and …
School For Scoundrels
I had the opportunity to watch the movie School For Scoundrels. Now on paper I thought this would be a funny movie. It stars Billy Bob Thornton (Bad Santa, Bad News Bears) and Jonm Heder (Napolean Dynamite) as the lead charecters with Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live), …
2 Fast 2 Furious Movie 2003
When it comes to car chase movies, Fast and Furious movies have taken them to a whole new level. While they don’t really fall under some of my favorite films that I go out of my way to watch, they have great looking cars and cool car chases to …
Coneheads
Coneheads was an alright movie. I think it was kind of cheesey and wacky yet funny. The big heads on the cone head people were pretty funny looking. I also liked the acting and voices of the characters in the film. I think the storyline was not very good. It …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …
World of Glory movie

Hollywood Homicide (2003)
I watched Hollywood Homicide on DVD with a friend. When we were through, the following conversation took place:

This is a cop/buddy movie, starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett. I really wanted to like this …
Dracula Untold (horror movie)
The last movie that I watched at the cinema was “Dracula Untold”, because at the time there was nothing else that interested me showing. I believed that I was taking quite a big risk seeing it too since there were so many bad reviews written about it on the internet, …

Sherek does’nt want to wear his father in laws’s crown, so in order to avoid becoming king of Far,Far away, he leads a rebellion to install an alternative. The movie is about 95 minutes long, ad to that some 15 minutes of other movies preview. I like the …
Hell’s House movie
Hell’s House from 1932 is not going to go down as a favorite film of mine. There wasn’t all that much outstanding about it. In fact, it was all pretty average. The one, or should I say two things that it had going for it was …
Big Fat Liar
“Big Fat Liar” is the living proof that you can make a great movie without having big actors in it. The main actors of this movie are the young actors, Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes who up to 2002, when the movie was produced, they were not very much …
The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen movie
Tex Ritter starred as Tex Martin in The Mystery of the Hooded Horsemen, a typical singing western for its generation. In this movie, he uses a guitar quite a bit. This movie does indeed have several songs in it.
The drama begins when Tex and his current sidekick …

Frankenfish (2004) movie
This is another fun horror movie about some mutant fish that invade the Louisiana Bayou. The movie stars Mark Dippe and Tory Kittles. I admit I was unsure what to expect when I first picked it up, mainly due to the movie’s name. But the movie was surprisingly good! …
Elizabethtown the movie
Orlando Bloom may be a great character actor and eye candy for women every where but, as a leading actor, he leaves a lot to be desired.
The movie Elizabethtown had great intentions and could have been a great love story. But, in my opinion, it fell flat. Kirsten Dunst …
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
I have to say that I loved Ace Ventura Pet Detective the first time I saw it. I must say this is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jim Carey was at his very best in this movie. This was back in the …
Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …
Film Up
Could a thousand balloons filled with helium gas really uproot a house from the ground and send it hovering in the sky for many days? Is it really possible for an old man and a boy to travel inside a flying house in open air without feeling out of …
The Fearless Four
Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …
Fatal Secrets (movie)
Some time earlier on this year, I watched a movie named “Fatal Secrets” on the cable television channel called TMC. I was a bit hesitant to watch it at first, since it looked like just another awful low budget movie to me that would be both predictable and full …
Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …
The Possession of Michael King (2014 Horror Film)
I enjoy a good horror film, but unfortunately it is one of those genres that is becoming washed out with tired ideas and weak plots. Despite this, I still try to keep the hope alive and watch new releases of horror films. In this case I stumbled across The possession …
Poetry: A film by Lee Chang-Dong (2010)
I see a film whenever I can. Some I can vividly remember, while others are so yesterday. My short-term memory decides either to keep or forget a certain film. One I remember of late is a Korean film simply entitled, “Poetry.” I first knew about …
Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
Ricky Gervais is known for his over-the-top humor, but there was nothing funny about this movie. The movie started out with an intriguing idea of a world where everybody is forced to say what is on their mind and tell 100% truths, but then one …
Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
What fascinated me the most was the appearance of Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Thomas Arnold. At the …

A zed and two noughts movie
After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account. He created some very impressive pieces of work through the remaining 80s that included the puzzling Drowning by numbers and the macabre The cook, the thief, his wife …
