The Tourist movie
This movie is about Angelina Jolie going to Europe and a lot of men watching. Men who repeatedly insisted to call her Elise Ward. I never understood why, the film is about Angelina Jolie that goes to and through Europe and the following are watching her: French police, the …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …
Venom Feature Film (2005)
I love horror movies but this one was a real dud. The horror parts were fine, the blood and gore looked believable and the death scenes were realistic and well acted. My main problem with this film is it lacked suspense and it was boring. Normally …
Live and let die movie
In the first James Bond film with Roger Moore as the popular british agent he is given the mission to investigate some mysterious murders and is finally lead to the evil diplomat Katanga. I have to admit I found this film rather boring for a Bond film. There are …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to the Guillotine movie
Eleven years after the Columbo series left the year, Peter Falk returned to his legendary role in what would be a new resurrection for the character. No longer a part of the Mystery Movie weekly rotation or any regular appearance schedule, this began a string of made for …

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (movie)
I was expecting something a little bit more “comprehensive” and less “jumpy.” I got that Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a film that would address some of the ills affecting the black community following civil rights. But his choice in using a sex performer named …
Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin
I enjoyed this movie since I was quite young. I was first introduced to these characters in the bok the movie was based upon, ‘By The Great Horn Spoon!’ The big disappointment to me was the great sequences on the ship were not but a blink of an eye …
Home Alone movie
The original and still the best. This side-splitting comedy tells the tale of a kid who thought he had wished his family away. Enjoying his spoils he indulges his child-like appetite like only a kid can. Meanwhile, two buglars are rampaging through the neighborhood stealing all in their path …
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
This movie is taken from a popular video game and made into a live action movie and strange enough as it may be, it made the transition into real life without a hitch or a glitch in the system. People loved it and they love the lead character played …
Pathfinder, Marcus Nispel Movie
Legend of the Savior United States National Indigenous
Hollywood films in the produce many films with genre epic. Perhaps, this is due to see the success achieved some epic film, such as the trilogy Lord of The Rings (2001-2003) original works of the New Zealand director, Peter Jackson. However, …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
Black Widow (2021)
The long-awaited Marvel movie about Natasha Romanoff of the Avengers is a fact.Starring Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbor,Rachel Weisz etc directed by Cate Shortland.
Natasha Romanoff is a role that became especially beloved by the Avengers trilogy.However, the movie that was especially awaited by fans of Marvel …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. I love Kate Winslet, and enjoy her movies so much. Jim Carrey is always the funny guy but in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind you will see a different side of him. Eternal Sunshine of the …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …
The Beach movie
I heard of the movie “The Beach” when I was in my second year of high school. I can remember that it was promoted a lot then and a few of my friends wanted to go and see it in theatres, especially the ones who had managed to buy …
Balls of Fury movie
I think Balls of Fury is a very funny and crazy movie. And of course I am going to like this movie, it has Christopher Walken in it. He is one of my favorite actors and He does a wonderful job of acting in this great film. He is at …
The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …
Movie: Cold Creek Manor (2003)

Bad Teacher 2011 Movie
I just saw the movie Bad Teacher. In IMDB it only had 5.9 stars, so I wasn’t looking forward to really watching it because of the not-so-good reviews. It stars Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, with her co-star Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. Bad Teacher is …
The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …
American Psycho
Yesterday I watched American Psycho, which was filmed in the year 2000. It is a very good movie and it is based on a book by Bret Easton Ellis. It takes place in 80’s in New York. The main character is Patrick Bateman, who is played by Christian Bale. …
No Reservations (2007)
This is the story of a day in the life of a master chef, taking solace behind the scenes she is more at ease preparing the meals for her clientele than basking in the glory of comments that might come her way. A typical day finds her going to …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
Funny Games movie (American Remake) 2008
I was a bit apprehensive about whether this remake would be as good as the original. But then I realize that this film was made by the same director. It is then that I realized that all the nuances were the same as the first …
Craig Gillespie’s Mr. Woodcock, movie
I cannot say that I have always been a huge Billy Bob Thorton or Seann William Scott fan, but I did like Bad Santa and my husband enjoyed American Pie so we decided that we would rent this particular movie to watch one night after the kids went to …

The movie tells the stories of a team of Mossad agents who are sent by the Israeli government to eliminate the figures behind the massacre of Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. The Palestinian …
Dora: Save the Day movie
It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.
All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …

My Blue Heaven, directed by Herbert Ross is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was August 17, 1990 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy and stars Steve Martin as Vincent Antonelli aka Vinnie, Rick Moranis as …
Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I had heard that this was a great movie, so I settled in to watch it with my boyfriend. This movie is incredibly slow. For the first like hour and a half, hardly anything happens, and Mr and Mrs Smith barely talk to each other. After an hour and …
The Departed
For some reason I had been confusing the movie “The Departed” with a science fiction movie of a similar name for some time, so I decided not to watch it. However, one time I saw it on the cable guide and found out it was actually an action film. …

Akira (movie 1988)
Spectular…just Spectular!! The pinnacle in Anime, no other work has come close to matching the raw talent in Akira. It’s a visual masterpiece. It’s easy to see why this film is great…and seeing is believing, you must see it to believe it. I dare not tell you what the …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …
The In-Laws (2003)
This movie is yet another disgrace of a movie, even though it stars some very decent actors, the movie just did not live up to the hype that was created around it and once again, we have a hit and miss coming out of the studios of the fames …
Four brothers movie
I watched the dvd of this movie and I quite enjoyed it, there was even a death I didn’t expect in it. The story is about 4 young men who were adopted by a lady who is killed in the opening scene. The boys played …
Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …
DVD Empire
First of all, let me just say I love DVD Empire. I found this site while doing a search to find my boyfriends birthday present. This is one of the greatest movie sites that I have ever found.
My boyfriend is a huge horror freak, so I thought it …
Ghosts of Cite de Soleil (R, 2006) movie
A friend brought over a copy of this movie. I immediately thought of the City of God, although that film takes place in Brazil. Anyway, this film features two young Haitian men who have been called to serve in an army called “Chimeres”. These are basically …
A Few Good Men
A few Good men is a thrilling movie released in 1992 and directed by Rob Reiner. It is one of those movies that once you get to watch it you would definitely want to get a copy for your collection. The main story is about a weakly in the …
Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
