Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 movie)
I wanted to watch “Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” ever since it was released because of how exciting it looked when it was advertising to be released in theatres.
The movie was about the thousand year quest of a master sorcerer named Balthazar, to find a young man who will …
The Movie Cars
I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is the rising young star of Disney. Thanks to High School Musical, she is now a nation wide start. She can act, sing, and dance. That’s a triple threat for you. Recently, I’ve noticed she has gotten more womanly. She has more curves now compared to the …
The Hunger Games movie
Hello people and let’s talk about “The Hunger Games.” . Now, before I start giving my opinion on this movie and any other following movies, you should know that I do not read books, not one bit; I just don’t find them entertaining enough. Moving on, the movie wasn’t …

A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Golden Spiders movie
I am reviewing the Nero Wolfe mystery movie, The Golden Spiders. This movie was the start of the successful Nero Wolfe series on A&E. This series stars Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin and Maury Chaykin as Nero Wolfe. Nero Wolfe is a famous detective. There isn’t a …
V for Vendetta
V for Vendetta is based on a graphic novel which I had read prior to seeing the movie. I loved the comic book and was nervous going into the movie because I didn’t want to see these characters I love, not done justice. Well, justice they were …

FengShui Movie
This is yet another great movie (a horror movie) that is 100% Filipino made. I love this movie because it sent me chills to my bones and I think even though this movie is quite old already, many people still haven’t forgotten about it because it is really one …
Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.
Master comedian Jackie Gleason plays a wealthy businessman who promises his spoiled son any toy he wants. …
Alexander Graham Bell documentary
“Alexander Graham Bell” is a documentary that tells about this famous inventor. Alexander Graham Bell was not just an inventor; he was also a brilliant scientist. The program discusses the reasons behind Alexander Graham Bell’s immigration to Canada from Scotland.

A Very Special Love: Special it is
I am not very fond of Filipino or local movies ( I live in the Philippines and local movies are called “Tagalog Movies”) but then I have to say that I did enjoy watching one particular movie that I would also like to introduce to the readers of Reviewstream. …
Jack the Giant Slayer (movie)
Even though I have not watched many movies this summer as a result of a lack of time, the movie “Jack the Giant Slayer” was one of the very few that I did, especially since I was looking forward to seeing it ever since I first saw the trailer …
Silk
Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …
Just My Luck movie
Lindsey Lohan isn’t exactly a star that draws me to a movie, so when we got Just My Luck from Netflix I was a bit skeptical about it.
Overall though, it was a pretty good movie.
Lohan plays a woman who is extremely lucky but ends up giving an unlucky guy …
Black Friday Movie
Black Friday : Movie Black Friday is a hard hitting film, based on the real incident of the Bomb Blasts that took place in Mumbai, (Indian City) in 1993. The story starts with a ‘mukhabir’ coming in a police station with a news that there is a planned series …
Made of Honor
When you have got two great movies in a row, you end up comparing one with the other. One will end up being very good and the other one is less good. “Made of Honor” was labelled by many critics as the less good movie of the actor, Patrick …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon movie
With the Parent Trap III movie bringing in good ratings for the Walt Disney company, another movie was done the same year called Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon. With Susan now married to Jeffrey Wyatt, the family travels together to Hawaii for the honeymoon. Strange, odd even, but …

Movie Into the Wild
Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …
Mummy 3
I watched Mummy 3 movie yesterday with my friends. I thought I would share my opinions here.
The storyline of this movie is indeed good. It is based on ancient China. It even involves the building of the great wall of China. It is not a sequel to the other …
Apocalypto
‘Apocalypto’ is an English movie directed by Mel Gibson. The movie is not good but is shot well, but there is too much of violence in the movie. The movie is action-packed and the story line is good. All the actors have performed well.
The main character is a young …
The Harvey Girls Movie
I have always been a fan of old movies. You never hve to worry about there being bad language or explicit content, so they are always easy and fun to watch. Some of my very favorites are the musical ones like the Wizard of Oz, and now, The Harvey …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 movie)
One of my favourite Disney animated films when I was little used to be “Alice in Wonderland.” Therefore, I was very happy to know a few years ago that they weere making a live action movie starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Ann Hathawy and the movie was …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …

Non-Stop (movie)

Happy Feet Movie
I love watching the Happy Feet movie with my family. Now, at first I was a little worried. My older kids aren’t really into the animated movie thing that much. I thought at first that they weren’t really going to like the Happy Feet movie. Boy …
Half Nelson A Movie
A few nights ago my husband and I settled in to watch Half Nelson. I had never seen it or heard of it before so I figured that it was probably not that good of a movie. However my husband really wanted to watch it so I decided to …

Kill Bill Volume 1
I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …
Movie 21
This is one such movie that really gives an adrenaline rush to the spectators. Not only it proves to be a full-fledged entertainer but also teaches us that greed always leads to the downfall. The movie is about gambling and how one can get addicted to gambling and …
Movie : Quest for Camelot
We had a family movie night on Friday night; just me, the wife and the kids. Since I wanted something suitable for everyone, I looked for an animated family movie to watch. I ended up with Quest for Camelot.
This movie was better than expected. It was about a young …
10,000 BC
I have been hearing alot of talk about the movie 10,000 BC and how the movie would be a very pleasant viewing. But once I have seen it, I was pretty shocked of how my perspective of this “wonderful” movie changed. I really think that the movie was pretty …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …
Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
This is easily one of Ben Stiller’s best movies. I love how he plays a male super model who …
Hide and Seek (2005) movie
Been watching alot of old scary movies lately and this was the last one I got to watch. I figured Dakota Fanning and Robert Deniro can’t go wrong here. Alright lets jump right into this one.
So the story is pretty strange from the start. A dad find his …

The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …
The Godfather: Part Two
The Godfather: Part Two continues the story of the Corleone family as they try to move to more legitimate businesses. At the same time, it includes flashbacks to Vito Corleone’s trip to America and his early years in the country. The movie makes it clear that the paths that …
Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
I am Because we Are
I am Because We Are is a documentary that is heart-wrenching and hard to watch at times, but that is a very important movie about the suffering in the African state of Malawi. In Malawi, there are 1 million orphans, most of them orphaned by Aids. The country …
Epic Theatres of St. Augustine

“Lions for Lambs” is a very interesting movie directed by Robert Redford. In his seventh movie, Redford makes us look deeply at war and it’s affect on our lives, especially when most wars are battled to ‘resort peace’.
The film shows how an important mission in Afghanistan affects the lives …
Netflix Mail Movie Rentals
Netflix is the best way to rent movies. I am actually suprised that video stores are still in business. They offer several different plans to fit your needs. The most affordable plan is their unlimited plan, which allows you to rent one DVD at a time and costs $9 …
