Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire

Movie Down to You
For those who watched the actor, Freddie Prinze Jr. in “She’s All That” and the actress, Julia Stiles in “10 Things I Hate About You” and the recent Bourne movies, the movie “Down to You” will definitely will not impress you.
“Down to You” is a romantic movie addressed …
Princess Mononoke (US Version)
Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …
Farce of the Penguins (2007) Movie
Farce of the Penguins starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Saget was just that, “Farce.”
If one likes crude humor from cute cuddly cartoon characters then this is the movie for them. The whole story’s purpose was to be the parody of the movie, “March of the Penguins” which depicts …
Motel Hell (1980) movie
Starring: Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, Nina Axelrod, and Wolfman Jack.

The villains who run ‘Motel Hell’ must be related to the family depicted in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which this film parodies quite often. In fact, “Motel Hell” parodies a whole list of modern …

Blockbuster Online Rentals
Recently, I tried out Blockbuster’s Online Rentals, and it was an interesting experience.

Jezebel
I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.

Employee Of The Month
I watched this movie, Employee Of The Month the other night on DVD and it was super funny and top hilarious, I give it a 10, no doubt. I know that the jokes are pretty slapstick and that the babe factor is none other than Jessica Simpson, nevertheless I …

Live Free or Die Hard
WOW! It’s the only word I could find once I watched this new Die Hard movie for the fifth time. I couldn’t honestly believe how incredibly good it was. I thought Bruce WIllis was too old to pull off that officer McClane roll again. But, then again, people laughed …
War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds is such a good movie that I’ve watched before. This movie stars Tom Cruise and the little talented girl at that time, Dakota Fanning. It’s a movie basically about aliens invading, or what they call it, The Tripod. These tripods come in numbers, …
The Dark Knight
I’m not fan of Batman and I watched this movie because it’s rated as 5 star in CinemaOnline (Malaysia) website. I even couldn’t remember the previous Batman movie.
I found it very boring and couldn’t wait for the end of the movie before the first half of the movie …
Short Circuit 1986 Movie
For the longest time, I had completely forgotten about this movie. It used to be one of my favorite films of all time as a child, than I rediscovered it again as an adult for one reason. The Pixar movie, Wall-E. Wall-E really reminded me of Johnny 5 from …

I like comedy movie, it can refresh my mind and make me laugh. Last night I saw this movie, Big Fat liar on Tv. It’s a comedy and family movie, starring by Frankie Muniz as Jason Shepherd, Paul Giamatti as Marty Wolf and. Amanda Bynes as Kaylee.
The story is …

Avatar, epic science fiction action film
James Cameron is one of the few directors that know how to make a movie that explains everything. The man’s films will never have you questioning what happened or what so and so are doing at a certain point. James Cameron is one of the best directors out there …
Movie Chaos
“Chaos” can be best described as a gripping thriller where one has no hint how the story is going to end. Full of interesting twists and action, this movie is worth watching not only once but even twice.
I believe that the best assets of the movie “Chaos” are the …
Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans movie
When I went to the theater to watch this movie, I thought I almost knew what I was going to see, but to my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. What I really witnessed was far better than I I had expected.
What they give us is the movie unlike its …

The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
Flashdance
“Flashdance” was a popular movie released in the early eighties. I think of it as a classic since even now from time to time people still make pop culture references to the movie and some of the most famous scenes in it. Another one of the things that made …
Hot Tub Time Machine
When I saw the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” advertising I ignored it, simply because I thought that it was going to be one of those college humour shows that is full of lots of sex and sex jokes that I would generally not be interested in. However, …
The Movie Lilo and Stitch
Lilo and Stitch is probably one of my all time favorite Pixar movies. Set in Hawaii this movie is all about love, family and having the strength to overcome our differences and obstacles. After losing both her parents in a car accident Lilo goes to live with her sister …
The Patriot (movie)
Of the Mel Gibson movies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put The Patriot toward the top of the list. But, it is still a good historical fiction film to consider on a weekend when you want to feel a bit more patriotic.
The thing I like about this movie is it …
Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
Cocktail
“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …
Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say I enjoyed it as much as I did first time I saw it.
Of all the movies that are based on classic tales, this spin on Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow …
Movie Superman Returns
I rented the dvd, I didnt like the movie. The story didnt make sense , lex luthor reminded me one of the villains of the 60’s batman tv show, there were several incoherences (his shirt was in perfect conditions after receiving dozens of bullets but it was easily damaged …
National Lampoon’s Bag Boy
OK, as far as movies are concerned, National Lampoon’s BagBoy had to have one of dumbest plots ever. You have a high school graduate whose only talent is bagging groceries so he seeks to enter the international baggers competition in an effort to finally make himself a winner. It …
War of the Roses movie
“War of the Roses,” some fun for the tears, the other leads to despair, and still others disgusted by the switch. Anyway, the film is a masterwork of satire of people who are divorced who have to gain your are full of ideas to hinder their lives.
Starring Kathleen Turner …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
