Movies Reviews
To Sir With Love
“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
Film Breaking Away
Director Peter Yates’ and screenwriter Steve Tesich’s Breaking Away is one of the sweetest, hilarious and exciting films ever made.
A true underdog story, Breaking Away focuses on the circle of friendship in an Indiana town. Four high school friends, Dave (Dennis Christoper), Cyril (Daniel Stern), Moocher (Jackie Earl …
The Forbiddent Kingdom Movie
The Forbidden Kingdom is 2008 block buster that sees the first time two mega stars staring in the movie together. They are Jackie Chan and Jet Li. In their entire careers, they both had filmed many movies , but never one together. This is thus the strongest drawing point …

Stargate SG-1 - Broca Divide
“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.
It’s the first show where we meet the spunky redhead physician, “Janet Fraiser”, played by Teryl Rothery. …
The Gnome-Mobile
Here is another Disney treasure from my past. I can still remember seeing this movie as a double feature at the drive-in movies, growing up in Southern California. What made it Disney was its comic sequences, and its stock character actors, namely Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …
Film “The Carriers” (2009)
The opening scene of carriers is a group of young people driving down the road drinking. We find out they are following some sort of code of rules they made up but not why. They soon come upon a car that is stopped and begging for gas. …
Mona Lisa Smile
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” because I have always found it very hard to watch movies starring the actress Julia Roberts. This is because I’m used to her starring in a lot of romance films which I don’t like as …
In her Shoes
“In her Shoes” is a film based on family misunderstandings and loyalty. What I particularly liked about this movie is the actress, Shirley MacLaine role as the grandmother, Ella Hirsch. It is no wonder that she has been nominated for the golden globe for her supporting role in this …
Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein
Well, I wasn’t sure if my daughter would like an Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoon; let along one that would have a scary monster like Frankenstein’s Monster. But, she obviously is a huge fan of the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein because she’s watched the DVD probably …
Rollin’ Plains movie
Rollin’ Plains from 1938 is your traditional cow man versus the sheep man movie. This is something we’ve seen dozens, perhaps hundreds of times over the years, but back in ‘38 it wasn’t quite so old hat as yet.
The western was a musical one, featuring the singing cowboy …
The Insatiable
I actually didn’t pick out the movie “The Insatiable.” My daughter did. She didn’t watch it or anything. She was at the movie store with me and my wife told her to pick out a movie for us and it happened to be one on a shelf she could …
Running Scared Paul Walker
I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …
Movie V for Vendetta
This movie was a tough one. It is at times confusing, at times preachy, and at times extremely disturbing, but I am glad that I stuck it out and I would reccommend that you do the same.
This film is of the genre of apocolyptic futures: it portrays where …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
My review is very so so with this movie. I was so excited to see it because I heard how awesome it was and I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. I had it in my NetFlix queue for ever and was uber excited when they finally sent it …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning Movie
A kind of parody that makes fun of science fiction series, Star Trek in front of all. About a Captain named Pirk who travels back in time the save the human kind. The people he meets find him difficult to believe in and obviously thinks he is come kind …
Housesitter comedy
From 1992, Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn delight in Housesitter, a really fun comedy about a woman who moves into a man’s house and assumes the role as his wife, much to his surprise when he shows up back in his hometown.
Hawn is a hoot as Gwen Phillips, who …
Flight of the Navigator movie
I haven’t seen Flight of the Navigator in a while but it still sticks in my mind as one of the better family-oriented science fiction films I’ve ever seen.
Disney does a wonderful job with the special effects in this movie, which centers around a child who gets hurt in …

Death Race movie
Discretion: Alot of violence is in this movie, not only blood (and gore in some cases), do not watch this movie if you are not ok with fist to face action, or even face to concrete/metal action. It’s loud, very loud, depending on what theatre you go to, or if …
Terminator Genisys (science fiction action movie)
I stopped being a fan of the Terminator franchise some time in the nineties. I guess I just grew our of it all, but when I heard that another one would be released this year I began to reconsider and think about watching it. The newest problem though was that …
Cinderella Man: movie
Cinderella Man, which was filmed in 2005, tells the story of a boxer who is trying to support his family during the Great Depression. The film stars Russell Crowe as Jim Braddock, a washed up heavyweight boxer trying to regain his old glory and earn money for his …
Daybreakers movie
Although I won’t go as far and say that Daybreakers was a bad movie, I was still quite disappointed in it when I watched it yesterday for several reasons. I was unable to understand why a few people I knew said they liked it too, when to me it …
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead a movie
Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead (2007) is directed by Sidney Lumet and stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Ethan Hawke.
Now although I am not a particuarly violent or mean spirited person I have to say that I found this movie very interesting. For one the opening …
Little Shop of Horrors movie
It was kind of hot outside yesterday and, since my wife is 9 months pregnant and can’t handle the heat too well right now, we ended up spending a good chunk of our afternoon indoors by the air conditioner watching movies.
One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray Movie
While there was excitement in getting the first and second Alien in BluRay, I only got this one, Alien 3, just to continue the collection. Alien 3 1992 Special Edition Bluray is what I got. While I don’t watch it as much as I do the other Alien films, …
Pride
Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.
The movie Pride is a perfect example of this.
Overall, Pride is an OK film. But, it’s the same film I’ve seen 20 times …
The Wild Thornberrys movie
I thought that “The Wild Thornberrys” surpassed my expectations of what it would be like. I knew that it would do well in theatres as the series seemed to be quite popular amongst many children at the time, but I thought that if I watched it I might find …
The Gravedancers movie
Cast: Dominic Purcell (Harris), Josie Maran (Kira), Clare Kramer (Allision), Marcus Thomas (Sid), Tcheky Karyo (Vincent) Megahn Perry (Frances)
It is always better to be safe than sorry. Just like these guys (and girl) who got drunk and danced on graves; and their misfortune to have chosen …
Gladiator Movie
A spectacular film starring Russell Crowe as Maximus the General and a slave gladiator. The action in this film is not great but it is OK, not too gruesome, not too bloody. The plot is on point and it delivers the goods. Joaquin Phoenix plays a great bad guy …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
I tried to avoid watching this movie for a long time. I heard how they had mangled Deadpool who is one of my favorite comic book characters into an unrecognizable mess, and consequently I decided that I wouldn’t encourage this sort of thing by giving any of my …
Courage Under Fire - (starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan)
I remember watching Courage Under Fire during the year of 2000 at the movies and it was quite a wonder why the Director feature both talented actor and actress Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan together. But upon watching the movie, I realized that both of them play a truly …
Overboard movie
Overboard is one of my favorite movies. No, it’s not an Oscar winner, but it’s just a fun love story that lets romance win out over all else. It stars the real life couple of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. Russell is a widower with four …
License to wed
License to wed was an alright movie. It wasn’t really boring at all but it could have been funnier. There were a couple of parts that I thought were funny but not to many. All of the actors did a good job in it, especially Robin Williams and Mandy …
The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
The Good Girl
I think this is one of the best movies ever to put into light how good an actress Jennifer Aniston is. I have always thought that she could act in movies and she has surpassed all comments saying that she can’t act and all that. Try watching The …
Movie: Superhero Movie
I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening before settling down for the night. One of the movies I came across was the film Superhero Movie.
I have seen a lot of “spoof” movies in the past and have had mixed opinions about them. Most of them …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
Lean on Me movie
I am reviewing the movie, Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman. This movie is based upon actual events. Morgan Freeman plays a free spirited, gifted, dedicated teacher, who tries his best to teach his kids whatever he can. When he loses his job, he moves on …
Robots movie
I first saw Robots when it came out at the theater and instantly fell in love with it. You can’t go wrong when Robin Williams voices one of the main characters, especially when you back it up with lots of color and a unique plot.
The movie takes place on …
The Blind Side movie
While recently vacationing in Florida, my family and I were hit with the dilemma of nothing-to-do one of the nights we were there. So the family hopped in the car and drove to the nearest movie theater and saw The Blind Side. I was skeptical going in to the …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army is a good movie for a guy to take his girl to if he wants to get some good relationship points. This movie is great and will hold your attention from start to finish. I liked the special effects but I have to …
12 Monkeys: movie
12 Monkeys is a strange, mind bender of a movie starring Brad Pitt (as a mental patient) and Bruce Willis (as a time traveler searching for the source of a mysterious plague that wiped out most of the earth’s inhabitants.) James Cole is a convict living in a …
Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one of my cartoon collections. I love the story so much and I got entertained watching it. I love how the story was made. It was a story of a real parental love. As a watcher I find it a very meaningful animation story. I have …
