The Man in the Iron Mask
I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011 Movie)
Gary Oldman steals the show in this slow-moving but brilliant take on the spy movie genre. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an intellectual film that will keep you guessing until the end.
I was wary of seeing this movie based on some of its reviews on RottenTomatoes, but after watching …
Spy (2015 Comedy Action Spy Movie)
I generally detest most movies with the comedian Melissa McCarthy playing a major role in them because I just don’t think she’s that funny. However, when I was sitting in the theatre watching another movie and I saw the trailer for this one I decided, “Hey, why not give this …
Candyman
This is a 1992 movie, and for some strange reason did really well, you could call it a cult classic. The plot is weak even for a science fiction film, it leaves huge holes in the story, like when there talking about the “Candyman” they talk about him like …
Eastern Promises
Eastern Promises is a drama directed by David Cronenberg, and starring Viggo Mortensen as the main character. It also features Naomi Watts as the leading lady. Other notable actors in the movie are Josef Altin, Mina E. Mina, and Aleksandar Mikic.
Viggo plays Nikolai, an undercover agent working inside …
When Harry met Sally movie
This cult-rated romantic comedy was the very first of a long series of similar films, all starring Meg Ryan as practically the same character. When Harry met Sally was directed by the talented Rob Reiner (even though he wasted his talent at several occasions in my opinion), and also …
Eye in the Sky (2015 Thriller Movie)
The first time I heard of the movie “Eye in the Sky” was actually when I was waiting to see another movie and saw this one in the coming attractions. I was very fascinated in the concept around the movie. This was because I thought was similar to a few …
A Low Down Dirty Shame Movie
“A Low Down Dirty Shame” is a 90s movie that was written and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Not only does Keenen Ivory Wayans play the main character, Shame, he is also joined with a pretty decent cast: Jada Pinkett Smith, Charles S. Dutton, Andrew Divoff, and Salli Richardson-Whitfield.
Shame …
Loser movie
A boy named Paul is what most people would call a “hill-Billy”, a goofy figure from the country who doesn’t really fit in with the city slickers. He’s attending college, but most of the time his room mates just make fun of him. Pretty much everything in Paul’s life …
Film 300
300 with Gerard Butler.
This was an epic tale full of action - both live and animated. I have watched this movie at least ten times and find it exciting every time. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors go up against Xerxes with …
Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …
Chasm-e-badoor
This is yet another masterpiece, directed by Sai Paranjpe. Chasme-e-badoor (meaning ‘angelic beauty’) is a light romantic comedy made in the early 80s.
The story is about three friends, who are in Delhi (Indian capital city) for their studies. There live together in an apartment, and share all their …
Not Another Teen Movie
Not Another Teen Movie is basically self-explanatory. It’s a spoof movie mixing the popular teen movies like Cruel Intentions, Bring It On, American Pie, and Never Been Kissed to name a few. The movie stars Chyler Leigh as Janey Briggs (who is portrayed as this stereotyped ugly and nerdy/artsy …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
This is the second movie of Rowan Atksinson as Mr. Bean, after the very funny and attracting ” Bean ” while, for me, this second movie is better than the first one because besides there are classical jokes from Mr. Bean, we can also see the beautiful view of …
Qi Gong for Cleansing
I have tried many things to aid in relaxation and stress reduction for my health. A friend of mine in the medical field recommended I try Qi Gong, a part of traditional Chinese medicine that involves slow movements to aid in the free flowing of Chi, the life force …
Daniel Deronda
This mini-series was such a pleasure to watch. The story is based on a novel by George Eliot. The title character, Daniel, supposedly an illegitimate son of a wealthy English aristocrat, was raised like a gentleman. He is a well educated young man who has plenty of money, but …
Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
Sunshine DVD Movie
When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …
The Hurricane Movie
This movie is inspired by real events, it features Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a famous boxer who is wrongly imprisoned for murder; in prison he writes a book about this terrible ordeal that he has to endure in which he goes to prison although he is really innocent and there …
Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
I love you, man comedy
John Hamburgs (Along Came Polly)latest comedy “I Love You, Man”, tells the story of Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd). A hotshot real estate agent who, facing his upcoming wedding, realizes he has no close male friends. He proceeds to go on a barrage of “Man Dates” in quest of said …
Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
District 9 movie
District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
District 9 is a section set aside for the insect-like aliens that also inhabit Earth. It’s basically a slum, …
Twilight
Twilight is truly an amazing book! This is a simple love story written by such a brilliant woman. Bella Swan is the heroine that represents the majority of girls - average, a bit klutzy, awkward and wishing for good times and good weather. Edward is what women …
Juwanna Mann (2002)
Basketball phenom Jamal Jefferies played by Miguel A. Nunez Jr. has come across some problems in his professional career. Aparently, he thinks too much of himself and that he is the best thing to happen to basketball since its inception.

Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)
Period dramas are not really my cup of tea although I must admit the fact that I love Downton Abbey to death. I was in a depressed mode when the final episode aired this time last year because it was so sad to watch a whole bunch of characters I’ve …
Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.
Superbad is a comedy that is based on how high school kids want to always fit in …
The Help 2011
I have always seen the movie THE HELP in IMDB and I have been quite intrigued by it, having a high score of 8/10. Actually I didn’t really want to see this movie because I wasn’t interested, but then eventually the rating made it too intriguing and based …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …

The Legend Of 1900
The Legend Of 1900 is a movie about this man who lives on a ship. Tim Roth, one of my favorite character actors, plays 1900, the person who the story was written about. The Legend Of 1900 is so beautiful that the movie just made me get all weepy …
Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …
The Medallion (2003)
Is it me, or is it a case that of late, every single movie that Jackie Chan stars in, he plays the role of a police officer or some other enforcement officer that happens to get caught on the wrong side of the law. I do not think it’s …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
Spoiler Alert: Iron Man 2 Movie
MY hubby wants to watch Iron Man 2. We have watched the first one and now that the second one has been released, we decided to watch it too. We are a big fan of comic-turn movie genres.

After Dark Thrillers dvd
Here is another dvd from my friend’s horror movie dvd collection. He likes old movies from the seventies mostly, and lent me this dvd which he said he was told had some good horror films on it. However, when I watched it I didn’t like the movies at all. …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
Well, I didn’t think I would end up liking the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife when my wife forced me to watch it last night. But, it turned out to be pretty decent.
Basically, you have a man who is a time traveler against his will (he can’t control when …
Alice In Wonderland (2010)
When I heard Tim Burton had done Alice in Wonderland with Disney and Johhny Depp was the Mad Hatter, I could hardly wait to get to the theater. This film have so many of my favorite stars and they all did their usual brilliant jobs. Depp, of course, was …
The Night They Took Miss Beautiful movie
From 1977, this is a B-movie, if that, that takes beauty pageants and makes a joke out of them. The movie is called The Night They Took Miss Beautiful and stars some very recognizable names, such as Chuck Conners as Mike O’Toole, the head of the airport from …

Apocalypto (spoilers)
Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …
Jeepers Creepers 2, horror film
This one really delivered, I thought. The first Creeper movie was great, but any fans might remember the Creeper had wings and in the first one we never saw him fly. Set the stage for this second helping of mayhem. Most of the horror takes place on a …
50 First Dates
This is a fun yet predictable movie starring Adma Sandler (enough said on what kind of movie to expect) basically the story goes like this. Adam Sandler plays the part of an average dude who lives in Hawaii and falls for a blonde (Drew Barrymore) which he met in …
