Sky High is a 2005 move that mixes elements of both the superhero and teen movie genres into an enjoyable, exceptionally fun movie going experience. It’s not the best movie around, and certainly isn’t the best composite of it;s two respective genres, but it is still a very watchable …

I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …

This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed!

I was so excited to see this movie after seeing the first two, that perhaps my standards were too high. After seeing sequels of this genre like Star Wars and The …

Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …

I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …

I actually came across the movie “Hollow Reed” by accident before I had never even heard of it and when I saw it starting it seemed that nothing else worth watching was being aired on cable television at the time. To make things even better, the movie was a …

I had the opportunity to see this film and was at first turned off by its spoofiness. But then, by the time the main character advanced to the year 2505, I realized exactly what director Mike Judge was trying to say about our society. This politically …

I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …

Although it takes a little while to get going, “Hostel II” was a horrifying and satisfying sequel to the first movie.

127 Hours is a film I thoroughly enjoyed upon first viewing, but I’m not quite sure it is a film that can be watched on repeat.

Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …

“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.
It starts with a beautifully animated sequence; the lovely (and relentlessly upbeat) Princess Giselle lives in …

I absolutely adore Man of the House, which is a simple romantic comedy from 1995 which stars Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was probably the biggest child star of the 90’s, at least on television. In this film, Thomas plays Ben Archer, whose father …
