Viva Baseball Documentary
“Viva Baseball” is a 2005 documentary about Latino baseball players and the affects Latinos have had on baseball. I’m a big baseball fan and like fans everywhere am familiar with the 1947 the year the “color” barrier was broken when Jackie Robinson became a Brooklyn Dodger, but I was …
E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …
Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …

Hairspray (2007)
Popular Casts : John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christophe Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah and Zac Efron.
First time I read the casts, I feel so afraid that I will be disappointed, because as my personal experience, movie with too many great actors and actresses always become a disaster …
Reign Over Me
When I saw the previews for this movie I automatically wanted to see it. I was a little skeptical as to how good it would have been with Adam Sandler playing a serious role, I have only ever seen him do comedy roles. He did an amazing job though. …
Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …
Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)
There are times when some of the best movies I’ve seen were ones I stumbled across haphazardly. I first became aware of this particular film after seeing a t-shirt for it on the horror site, Rotten Cotton. A trailer for the film was viewable next to the …
Down Periscope (1996)

Black Christmas, movie (1974)
Slasher movies based on holidays are so commonplace that they have become cliched. Thankskilling, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Leprechaun, Uncle Sam, and My Bloody Valentine are some of the big examples. All we need are movies for Yom Kippur and Colombus Day. Heck, some can make …
Iron Man 2
I went in to Iron Man 2 with pretty low expectations. Perhaps it was the fact that the studios have had a very hard time matching the successes of the first comic book movies, and I was simply carrying my disappointment at —˜Spiderman 2’ and —˜X-Men 2’ into …
Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke (movie)
The movie Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke released few years back. The film was directed by Deepak Shivdasani. I watched this film on television. I did not like the movie much except for few of its songs. The leading roles of this film have been played Ajay Devgan, Madhuri …

The Final movie 2010
The Final was a film I rented from Netflix and I chose it because someone had recommended it to me. When I read the description I was not terribly impressed and I did not expect it to be anything original or unique. Films in the genre tend …
Lake Placid 2
Lake Placid 2 is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long time, which is strange because the movie isn’t supposed to be funny. It stars John Schneider from Dukes of Hazard as a small town sheriff is Maine. His ex-girlfriend comes to town to investigate rumors …

Movie: Parenthood

Discovering the real world of Harry Potter
I felt a little silly when I first began to read the harry Potter books. These are books for children I told myself so why did I find it so entertaining. I’ve read other books for children since I became an adult of course, but those had already moved …

The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Let me first start off by saying that I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books and was excited to see these movies. I was ready to see all of these characters I had been imagining in my head hit the big screen. All of …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …

Flight To Mars DVD
Flight To Mars is one of the few SF “classics” I knew about and was looking forward to checking it out as it was produced in the early Fifties when the genre was “taking off”, but I was unable to see until I bought the Image Entertainment DVD. Sorry …
The Wolverine (2013 film)
I decided to watch the Wolverine one evening after hearing so many things about it. Initially I was late on finding out that there was going to be a new movie featuring the wolverine. To be honest, I don’t remember hearing anything about up it until a couple of …

The Tiny Times is a romance drama movie series based on novels by Guo Jing Ming. It’s made up of 4 movies (Tiny Time 1-4). The movies are all directed by the author himself.

This is the End 2013 (Movie)
With very famous and some of my favourite actresses like Emma Watson featuring in the movie This is the End, I was very excited to watch the movie. I like her acting from the Harry Potter series, which is my all time favourite series since I was a kid. …
Lake Dead Movie
I plan on buying the entire run of horror movies from the Horror Fest 2008 series, but when they recently went on sale, I needed to pick out a few to buy. One of those that I picked was Lake Dead. Prior to watching the movie, I went online …
‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ movie
After the fourth movie, I was convinced that the “Paranormal Activity” franchise was dead. I liked the first two, but after that, the formula wore thin and they didn’t have anything new to bring to the table.
Enter this “spin-off” that follows another family as they are …

The Box Movie
Having seen the trailer on this one, I perked up instantly since it was quite an ethical scene —“ a couple could have a million dollars right away with just having to push a single button, but someone somewhere in the world, someone they don’t know is going to …
Phone Booth Movie
Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …
American Gangster (2007) movie

For Your Eyes Only movie
James Bond and his arch enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld returns in this film which is considered as one of the worst by many Bond fans, but I personally think it’s extremely intense all the way through. The story leads Bond through several different countries, facing many dangers as usual, …
Transformers The Movie
The series which this movie is based on is undeniably one of my all-time favorites since I was a kid. Now that Michael Bay together with Steven Spielberg made Transformers into an extraordinarily amazing movie, my interest in Sci-Fi movies has broadened into such great fascination that I became …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
The Cell movie
This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …
DOA: Dead Or Alive Movie
I may be a girl, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate a woman who looks good. When I saw DOA: Dead Or Alive I just happened to get a little more than I intended to. A large portion of the movie is devoted to the women in …

Another vigilante story. A woman survives a brutal attack that leaves her fiance and her beloved dog dead and herself severely battered. She then buys a gun, and soon enough puts it to use. While her ultimate goal is to find and kill her attackers, she also shoots some …
Day Of The Dead movie
Me and my mother are big fans of zombie films. We have seen a lot of zombie films but this one is my favorite. This was just actually a remake of a classic film of the same name. I haven’t watched that one so I cannot compare which is …
Lord of War Movie Staring Nicholas Cage
Since the genre of movies I am inclined with the most seems to have hit a rut that it is now stuck in (horror), my shift is moving more towards those movies that involve some sort of quest for economic prowess and financial freedom, with the nitty-gritty being displayed …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Poetry: A film by Lee Chang-Dong (2010)
I see a film whenever I can. Some I can vividly remember, while others are so yesterday. My short-term memory decides either to keep or forget a certain film. One I remember of late is a Korean film simply entitled, “Poetry.” I first knew about …
