Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …
Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …

Dogma was a great film. There are so many things I like about it, it would be impossible to list them all. But I will give you best parts.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire contains spoilers.
Usually, a more action-oriented movie like this would be at or near the top of my list of favorites since the action/adventure genre is one of my top two movie genres. But Harry Potter and the Goblet …
Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …
Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.

Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
AVATAR: The Movie (by James Cameron)
I’ve just watched it last night and up until I wrote this review I still can’t remove all of those stunning scenes from my mind and my brain. The movie was beyond my imagination; Cameron has succeeded to combine both the reality and fantasy world, he had created “another” …
Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Striptease Movie
I am going to be honest Striptease is a pretty boring movie to say the least. The movie has a really slow and boring story. This is probably the worst movie ever made. I just don’t know what is wrong with this movie. I mean it’s about some girl played …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …

Choke the movie

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.

People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …
