Crazy, Stupid, Love Movie (2011)
Crazy, stupid, love. Is by far one of the best comedies of all time. Watching this movie was a very uplifting and refreshing experience. The movie stands out in the myriad of bad, empty and stupid romantic comedies that were released in the last few years. I practically gave …

In honor of the late Brittany Murphy, my wife and I took the time to watch some of her movies that were available through Netflix Instant Watch; mostly because I didn’t want to bother sending for DVDs and waiting for them through the mail.
One of these movies was entitled …

Seemed to be good. Wim Wenders, the desire to pay tribute to Bergman and Antonioni, Milla Jovovich and Dennis Hopper … Fans of punk certainly hoped for a successful role Campino. However, “Palermo shooting” not impressed …

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 …
A Nightmare on Elm Street movie
I’m not sure exactly how I managed to live my life without seeing this particular film, but I have. Upon having seen it, I am glad I have. It was an enjoyable film, the scene when the first girl is killed is quite startling (in my opinion …

It has been a long while since I got to see the movie Monster Squad. So, when I was bored this weekend, I popped in the 20th anniversary addition I’ve owned but never opened and watched it again.

The Age of Adaline (2015) - Movie

Dead or Alive
Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …
Movie In her shoes

The Net
Up to 1995 we were so used of associating the actress Sandra Bullock to romantic movies. During this year, Bullock decided to show her talents in a different movie that included drama, patios and action. This is what “The Net” is all about.
The story of this movie is about …
Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …
Every Secret Thing (2014 Crime Drama Movie)
Even though the movie “Every Secret Thing” seemed to gain a lot of bad and mediocre reviews on popular sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, I have to admit that I still enjoyed it. It was by no means perfect, but I think that there were elements of the …
Movie: Parenthood
I ended up coming across a somewhat older movie last night; Parenthood. I’ve seen this film before. But, it had been a long time so I thought I would take the time to watch it.
When I started watching the movie, I realized I didn’t remember a single thing about …
License to Wed
For a while, comedian Robin Williams pretty much just slipped off the face of the Earth. Whenever he did have a good movie, it was more of a drama than an actual comedy. But, recently, he seems to have found himself again. First, there was RV, which turned out …

One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …
Movie Monsters Inc
Pixar’s 2001 release, Monsters Inc., is probably my least favorite Pixar movie ever released. For some reason, I cannot forget that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are the voice actors in this movie. Its difficult to explain, but Tom Hanks becomes Woody, and Owen Wilson becomes Lightning …
The Longest Yard (2005): movie
I had not seen the original The Longest Yard, but heard it was a very popular movie. The main reason I went to see the remake which was made in 2005 is that I like Adam Sandler. Sometimes his movies are a little too silly, but I …

Shooter
I have always been a big fan of Mark Wahlberg’s acting skills. I like that he’s rough around the edges. Even still, he’s able to nail the emotion that is called for by the scenes he’s in. In this film, Wahlberg portrays a military marksman who …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Wall-E

Up movie

The first few minutes of the film are somewhat …

The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …
