Tron: Legacy movie
My winter holiday began last week and after months and months of toil and mental abuse offered freely and in great quantities by the glorious educational system, I decided that there would be no greater way to commence the days of pseudo-freedom than going to see a movie. And …
Incredible Hulk Season One
The Incredible Hulk Season One was a really cool series and unlike a number of first seasons on other television programs, the Hulk was a GREAT series right out of the staring gate. In fact, some of the first season programs are among the classics of the series. (The …
Vanilla Sky movie
A remake of the dazzling spanish film that came out a few years earlier called Abre los ojos (Open your eyes). The narrative is very complex and tells the story of a handsome man who’s life completely twists around when he is involved in a car accident. The audience …
Tron Legacy, Movie
For the sake of candidness I ought to state that I am a big fan of Daft Punk and the original Tron Movie. It is therefore with some bias that I entered the cinema to see Tron Legacy, which announces the arrival of Joseph Kosinski as a new director.
From …
The Rebound movie
This movie stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a mother of two recently separated from her unfaithful husband.
This may contain spoilers. This movie really wasn’t about anything except a rebound who happens to be a younger man who is termed a boy because he doesn’t really know what he’s doing with …
Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …
DreamGirls (2006 Movie)
I recently saw this movie and loved it. The acting and musical talent was awesome. I already knew that Beyonce` could sing wonderfully but was pleasantly surprised to know that Eddie Murphy could also. There were so many instances that that I laughed and cried. Seeing this movie made …
Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …
The Haunting of #24 (movie)
I was really surprised by this film. In watching the previews, I was a bit surprised that the film was as decent as it was. This is because the previews were really wack. The movies advertised were so below par, that I thought I …
Salt the Movie
Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …
“It’s Complicated” movie
The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …
Sherlock Holmes The Soultry Cyclists
I am not a Shelock Holms fan., but I was quite curious to watch his movie(s), as I have heard a lot abt him and Sir Author Conan Doyle, the creator of SH. Yesterday, I got a chance to watch one of his films named ‘Sherlock Holmes -The Soultry …

Spotlight (2015 Drama Movie)
I was not even aware the film Spotlight existed until I saw that it was nominated for several Academy Awards. Thus I did a little bit of my own research on it and saw that the topic was definitely something that I would be interested in. What piqued my interest …
Ocean’s Thirteen
My first and foremost pick-up line would be, ‘Go and watch Ocean�s Thirteen.’ It really is worth your money. Every time an Ocean sequel is make, it gets even better. This time, the plot is about revenge. Revenge on a newly about to be launched …
Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
THE ISLAND MOVIE DVD
I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
Cars movie
I finally got around to watching Cars on DVD this past weekend and I’m glad to say, I didn’t waste my money seeing it at the theater.
Cars is a good movie and one that the entire family could enjoy, especially if you’re a bunch of race fanatics. How ever, …
The Queen by Stephen Frears
I was very lucky today to see a matinee of “The Queen” staring Helen Mirren. Although I knew the movie was about Queen Elizabeth II, I had no idea it was about the period following Princess Diana’s death.
I found the movie was not only engaging but engrossing. It was …
Sex and the City the movie
I am the fan from Sex and the city TV serial. I always watch it every season and never nissed it. When it will be making in movie, I’m happy because it’s been four years those serial is ended.
Like the serials, sex and the city the movie still starred …
As Good as it Gets movie
I am reviewing the movie, As Good as it Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear. This movie focuses around Jack Nicholson’s character, Melvin, who is an obsessive compulsive, rude, inconsiderate human being with many other problems. His neighbor is Simon, played by Greg Kinnear, a …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
The Grudge 2
Starring: Amber Tamblyn (Aubrey), Jennifer Beals (Trish), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Karen), Arielle Kebbel (Allison), Matthew Knight (Jake), Edison Chen (Eason),
Okay, the cover on the DVD caught my eye the pasty white faced spook with the black eyes. I had expected this to be a good …
Voyage of the Yes movie
Voyage of the Yes was something of a coming of age or discovering oneself type of movie. Airing on TV in 1973, the movie is about two young men who travel from California to Hawaii by sailboat.

The fourth film in the popular Terminator franchise takes place in the future that was only alluded to in the first three films. Christian Bale plays John Connor, the now adult leader of the human resistance fighting to take down Skynet and their army of Terminators.
The plot, while …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …
Movie Butterfly’s Effect
The Butterfly’s Effect is a fast pacing thriller with elements of fantasy or science-fiction (the idea of alternate worlds). It is often compared to mind blowing movies like Memento or Harry Angel but in fact that is a little too far fetched a comparison. First of all, Ashton Kutcher …
Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …
Movie The Incredibles
Brad Bird’s Pixar movie the Incredibles, released in 2004, is my favorite Pixar movie ever, and one of my all time favorites in any genre. The Incredibles mixes the best of superhero movies, spy capers, and family films. It has heart, excitement, humor, action, suspense and a …
Exit Wounds (2001)

Gone With the Wind 70th Anniversary Limited Edition box set
Gone With the Wind 70th Anniversary Limited Edition box set was my Valentine’s Day present in 2010. I love this movie very much. I am uncertain love is a strong enough word for how I feel about this movie. I respect it for the time period …
Trespass (movie)
I was completely clueless that the movie “Trespass” even existed until someone made me watch it very recently. After watching it, I liked it so much that I couldn’t help but recommend it to people who are looking for a good suspense and thriller movie to watch. This was …
Woman’s World
Woman’s World is an oldie but goodie. The movie was made in 1954 and some might call it dated, but I watched this movie a lot growing up and really like it. I wish I could find it on DVD or that cable would air it.
The vehicle …
Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …

Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …

Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …

Dracula Untold (Movie)
Dracula Untold is a 2014 action, drama and fantasy movie directed by Gary Shore. After knowing it’s title I thought it would be some sort of vampire horror movie, but after I watched the trailer it didn’t seemed scary to me at all. In fact, I found the movie to …
X-Men The Last Stand
I finally got to watch the third movie in the X-men trilogy, X-Men The Last Stand. Overall, it was a decent film, but it should have been called Wolverine’s big movie.
The movie promised all the characters from the first two films, and it delivered. However, many of the main …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …
