Two weeks ago, my husband, together with my 7-year old daughter decided to watch a movie. There are four cinemas in the mall that we went to, and none of them were showing an animated film, so we decided to watch Night At The Museum 2 since it was …

I am not a huge Matthew Broderick fan but I ended up watching one of his movies last night; Biloxi Blues; mostly because I was in the mood for a good war movie.
Unfortunately for me, this film just wasn’t that good.
I loved Christopher Walken in this movie as the …

After watching The Day After Tomorrow, I have come to believe in goodness again. This movie has a great storyline, telling us how man is corrupt and only long for their self-interest and that is why the earth must die. I am not going to ruin the movie for …

The story adheres strictly to the clichés of the genre , and this potentially poses a risk for the viewer to be bored. The story revolves around two undercover agents, who under the circumstances must join forces to survive and succeed . It sounds familiar, and I do not …

Several years ago, before Christian Bale took over the title role in a re-invention of the franchise, Michael Keaton wore a cape and became Batman. And, even today, this movie (unlike the sequels after it) remains one of my favorite super hero films.
Keaton does a great job playing Batman …

Even though I do think he’s a bit overrated, I’ve always liked watching former pro wrestler The Rock in movies.
While his newest movie, Game Plan is far from being unique, I will admit he pulled it off.
The Rock plays a professional football quarterback who finds out he has …

I sometimes think that certain producers lack fantasy in coming up with original movies. “Freaky Friday” represent a movie about twisting identity in a series of three that came and are going to be released from Hollywood. We all remember Tom Hanks famous role in “Big” and he was …

Bill wakes up in an isolation cell in a mental institution. He can’t remember exactly what he is doing there, only fragments seem to be remembered. A nurse tells him he’s been involved in a car crash, but Bill won’t take that as an answer. Why would they put …

Keanu Reeves has pulled off another great movie. Keanu Reeves has shown that he can stand in other films besides the Matrix and romance films. My wife and I went to see this movie without knowing what to expect. Although the action seemed a little shy in this …

Released in 2006, Underworld Evolution is the much-awaited sequel to Underworld (2003). The movie continues with the style of the previous movie as it opens with a narration from Selene (Kate Beckinsale), who recaps the events that transpired in Underworld.
Recap of Underworld: Kraven (Shane Brolly), leader of the vampires, …

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) movie is a pleasant collaboration between Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who has been on creative fire since his “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. I think that he’s given the family company just a slightly edgy, darker appeal without getting too violent, goth or …

I recently watched The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel as Shane Wolf a Navy Seal whose latest mission is to protect 5 children from assassins trying to get a secret program from their home. Lauren Gram plays a principal and Brad Garret a laughable vice principal at …

I have been dying to watch this movie ever since I saw its trailer in the movie house a few weeks ago. The movie was about a Chihuahua and I saw some of the “casts” as well like some pugs and other kind of dogs so I got interested …

Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
Christian Bale was an interesting choice for this part. He did a better job as Batman than I thought he would. But I actually thought Michael Keaton made a …

Evelyn with Pierce Brosnan, Stephen Rea, and Aidan Quinn.
I must admit that since enjoying Brosnan in the role as James Bond, I find myself enjoying any other role I see him in. This movie is based upon a real life story about an abandoned unemployed …

Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.
He works for a used cars retailer …

Thumbelina was produced by Golden Films and released directly to video in 1993, as part of Golden Films’ second line of “animated classics” produced by Diane Eskenazi. The animated film follows the adventures of little Thumbelina in her quest to reach the prince of the little people and …

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 …

Aliens, Guns & a Monkey is a pretty fun episode of Tripping the Rift. For this episode the crew of the Jupiter 42 set ground on a planet that is completely in love with guns. This of course sets off a lot of talk about the morality …

I got bored the other day and decided to sit down and watch The Blues Brothers again. I have seen it on TV quite a few times in the past but I hate the edited version of it so I watched the DVD instead.
Wow, this is a good movie.
I …

Get Smart isn’t the latest film out. It actually is a pretty old film as it was released in 2008. Nevertheless, my iTunes balance was running low and I wanted to use my remaining balance on a cheap film.
Get Smart remind of of Johnny English. This movie really …

I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …

I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
You know what, it really wasn’t as good as I remember it being.
I usually love Martin’s movies. But, this one, where he plays a long-nosed fire chief who is in …

If you guys have watched Paycheck (starring Ben Affleck) before, you will be surprised to know that it is a very good movie, but with a science-fiction genre. I really categorize this movie as fiction because I can never imagine this movie to be other than that at all. …

It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …

The Disney movie “Jump In” was released about a year ago. It is about a teenage boxer who discovers his love for jump roping. In the beginning, he only did it to help out his girl friend, but as he spent more time on the ropes and less in …

Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.
This is an elaborate movie based on the revenge concept. What made it so special is the huge star studded cast of superstar actors. …

I am reviewing the movie, Showtime, which was released in 2002. It stars Robert Deniro as LAPD cop Mitch Preston, a tough no-nonsense man. Starring alongside him is Eddie Murphy, who plays Trey,a wanna be actor who also happens to be a cop. After shooting a camera …

This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …

This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …

There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …

When I was growing up, Godzilla was the ultimate movie monster. After seeing a more recent version of the series, Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, I am starting to see why he never won an Oscar.
The plot of the movie itself was decent. He once again has to fight a monster, …

To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …

This is one of the classic Christopher Lee movies, and personally, I think that most people I’ve met who are still interested in some of these classic horror and suspense films either like this movie or hate it. Personally, I appreciated this movie, since I didn’t think that it …

We watched the movie The Ruins last night and, while I thought it was going to be one of those B-rated horror films that neither scares you or entertains you, I was surprised to find out it wasn’t half bad.
The movie is about a bunch of college kids who …

I’ve said this once before, but any movie that will keep my 3-year-old daughter occupied for 90 minutes is one that will always receive high praise from me.
The Rugrats movie is one of those films.
I bought her the movie about a week ago as a bribe. She had spent …

When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …

I was really disappointed by “Zodiac,” because at first glance it seemed to be the kind of material that was right up director David Fincher’s alley, what with his similarly dark, previous forays into thriller territory, like “Panic Room” and especially “Se7en.” But “Zodiac” has nowhere near the kind …

Jim Carrey is always my favorite actor, and this movie named “Liar Liar” is one of his brilliant works. It is a story of a lawyer, who is very efficient, when it come to lying. He always lies about everything, even to his divorced wife and kids, and he …

Since my daughter is now in school again, I don’t get to spend as much time with her during the week. So, last night, since my wife was too tired after work to have a family movie night (her and the baby were in bed before 8), I decided …

I enjoy documentaries about historical events and natural phenomena, so I rented a documentary called Krakatoa. This PBS documentary was about a volcanic eruption that happened in the early 20th century. Thousands of people were killed in the eruption and the ensuing tsunami that hit Java and Sumatra …

Lovefilm is such a good way of renting DVD titles because they offer you the chance of renting online. You can rent over thousands of titles on the website. Instead of paying to try them out they hand you a free trial for two weeks! I have used their …

For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …

Panic in Echo Park, a movie released in 1977, starred Dorian Harewood who many people know from the sequel to Roots. That’s what brought him to my attention and has continued to get me to notice him. He’s a very good actor and has done some fine …
