The Great Global Warming Swindle
The Great Global Warming Swindle was the right’s answer to Al Gore’s famous and popular documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It goes against the grain of current thought on the warming of the earth and attacks some of the incorrect facts stated in Mr. Gore’s documentary.
Unlike Mr. Gore’s film, …
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 Blood of Fu Manchu movie
“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …

Nicholas Nickleby Movie
“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …
The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …

Film Beetlejuice

Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. Biollante is a movie that I highly recommend to Godzilla fans or monster movies fans in general. Godzilla looks incredible in this movie. He actually looks real and very evil, and his original 1954 roar is used in this movie, which is very fitting and it sounds …
My Life movie
Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman plays the young couple desperate to have a baby together. When it finally is going to happen, the husband finds out he’s diagnosed with cancer and their whole world breaks apart. A typical overly sentimental film, that is so boring to watch because of …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
Ok so I rented another Hellraiser hoping that it would be somewhat related to what the original movie was about. Unfortunately it wasn’t, but oddly enough it did keep my interest enough to not fast forward through.

Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
Kill Gill
I’ve been disappointed by most of the Simpsons holiday specials lately. But, last night’s Christmas special was pretty decent.
The Simpsons took in a character I’ve always found fascinating, Gill, the sales guy who can’t seem to catch a break. And, I learned a lot about him, including just how …

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, …
Journey to the End of the Night (2006)
Director: Eric Eason. Featuring : Brendan Fraser, Mos Def and Scott Glen.

Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …

Drag Me To Hell (Movie)
When this movie came out I really thought it was so low-budget and too corny. I didn’t know the director, I didn’t know the main cast, and I didn’t know what the point of the movie was all about. The trailer didn’t show anything much and the posters were …
Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …
