Avatar (2009 film)
Making the highest grossing film of all times is James Cameron’s trademark ability in the moviemaking industry. Avatar indeed delivers visual greatness of unseen scope just like Titanic did in 1997. Truth remains that the visuals are not enough to make a movie Number 1 at the box office. …
The Notebook DVD
The Notebook is a novel based movie staring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. The novel that the movie was based on was written by Nicholas Sparks. The Notebook is rated PG-13 for some sexuality and is 124 minutes long. The movie is 2 hours, but I felt like the …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop
A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …
Change of Habit movie
Change of Habit is a movie I’ve always enjoyed watching. It’s one of my very favorite films to star Elvis Presley. In fact, it was actually his movie, something I find very sad. His co-star was Mary Tyler Moore, reportedly the only co-star who never slept …
Ant-Man, 2015 Action, Science Fiction Movie
Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …
Movie: “The Benchwarmers” (2006)
I was highly disappointed by this movie. It had such potential, starring comic giants Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder, and Jon Lovitz. But it failed to entertain.
Gus (Schneider), Richie (Spade), and Clark (Heder) are three misfit friends who love baseball. One day, as they’re getting ready to play, …
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (horror movie)
I felt in the mood to watch a paranormal horror movie that would probably keep me awake and paranoid for the rest of the night, but I couldn’t exactly figure out what to watch. It was then that I remembered that the movie “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” seemed to …
Awake movie
I watched the movie awake yesterday. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I didn’t want to stop watching it for anything. The thought of “anesthetic awareness” to me is scary. To think that you are going into surgery and you are not fully asleep and can still …
Flintstones on the Rocks
I didn’t remember that this movie existed until recently when I found an old DVD of it at my cousin’s house and decided to watch it again so maybe I could write a review on it. It came out in my earlier years in high school which was about …
Knight and Day movie
This is not a family movie! There aren’t any swearing in this film except the F-word was said once. Knight and Day features a commando like guy, going to protect a battery and a high school student, meets up with this innocent girl who has a place to go …
Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist movie
I thought this would be good because I like the actor from the movie Superbad, I have never been so wrong. The plot is seemingly non-existent, the guitarist for an emo band makes mix CD’s for a girl who doesn’t want anything to do with him, he meets a …
First Daughter movie
The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …
Columbo: Ashes to Ashes movie
Columbo: Ashes to Ashes was directed by actor Patrick McGoohan, who also guest stars in the program. He’s done this, acting and directing in a Columbo, a few times before. His character this time around is mortician Eric Prince.

The Women (Movie)
This is a very nice movie and when I watched this I was reminded by Sex and the City, but the girls here are much laid-back and more conservative and more professional and laid-back than the cast of Sex and the City, but they aren’t necessarily boring.
The movie features …
Robots Movie
This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, The Exorcism of Emily Rose. This movie is suposedly based on real life events. I have always been fascinated with the subject of demonic possession, and so this movie was very fascinating for me. Plus, the main actress is from the …

Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho (1960 movie)
I grew up loving horror movies and so I have a special appreciation for the movie “Psycho” that was released in 1960. I feel that it is one of the best and most influential horror movies of all times, especially since I believe that it featured one of movies’ …
High School Musical 3: Senior Year movie

This by far was one of the most highly anticipated DVD releases for me. I remember seeing Cloverfield in theaters on opening night. I really enjoyed the unique style the movie brought out to its audience. The way it was presented overall was one of a kind. Although I …
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell.
This is one funny movie. If it were a 40 year old woman virgin, it would definitely not be that funny; but putting a normal looking man into this predicament is full of hilarious opportunities.
…

And, after watching it with her probably about three dozen times over the past week, I have to say …
Ploning Movie
It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.
And then along came Ploning.
Judy Ann Santos speaking Cuyunon in Cuyo, Palawan with numerous unknown faces is the making …

I was flipping through channels last night and came across the Weird Al Yankovic movie UHF. Since there wasn’t anything better on TV, I figured I would take the time to watch it for the first time in years.
The movie was OK but not as funny as I remembered …
Gingerdead Man 2 - The Passion Of The Crust Movie
Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …
Disney’s Aladdin movie (1992)

“The Natural” starring Robert Redford is one of the greatest movies of all time! It is the story of a boy with the greatest baseball talent of all time. He can pitch, hit, and throw unlike anyone has seen before. More than that, it is the story of the …
Fred Claus
I watched “Fred Claus” today with my family. It was an overall pretty good movie. I wouldn’t give it a ten or anything but it is worth watching, especially around the holidays and Christmas. It has Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamitti, Kevin Spacey, and Kathy Bates. You would think with …
Lipstick & Dynamite film
Women’s wrestling is once again becoming a popular form of entertainment but very few of today’s fans understand the history behind it. The documentary Lipstick & Dynamite tries to fill people in on that.

The Prince of Tides film
From 1991, The Prince of Tides stars Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte. Sometimes I find it hard to believe those two made an on-screen couple, but they definitely did. Also in the film, which Streisand directed, are Blythe Danner, Melinda Dillon, Kate Nelligan, George Carlin, and, making …
Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …
Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …
Movie The Strangers
I just rented and watched the movie the strangers today and it was pretty good. I am not going to say it was a 10 because there were parts of the movie that I felt like “I wish it would hurry up and end”. At the same time …
Daybreakers movie
Although I won’t go as far and say that Daybreakers was a bad movie, I was still quite disappointed in it when I watched it yesterday for several reasons. I was unable to understand why a few people I knew said they liked it too, when to me it …
Herbie Fully Loaded -DVD Release 2005
Oh joy -Herbie rides again (if you will pardon the pun). When I spotted Herbie Fully Loaded in a shop I simply had to have it. Always having loved watching the original movies when they came onto the television it seemed too good to be true that the little …
