Fast Food Nation
Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …
Movie The Dinosaur Hunter
The Dinosaur Hunter with Simon McCorkindale.
This movie actually angered me. It gave us an alluring title, but then lied to the viewer. It was not about hunting dinosaurs and had so little action that I found myself playing solitaire while watching it.
…
The Machinist, Brad Anderson Movie
A number of actors / actress willing stage to change significantly for the physical demands a certain role want a certain physical condition. Tom Hanks for example, had to be thin body for the role as AIDS sufferer in Philadelpia. Likewise, Hilary Swank for the movie Boys Do not …
Europa Europa (1990)
This movie centers around a Jewish boy in the days where Germany started their campaign against Poland and the Soviet Union, he and his family get separated when them flee from the home and tried to get to safety. The boy named Solek, finds his way to an orphanage …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was better than the first two movies, in my opinion. Granted, I haven’t seen the other two in a while now, so my opinion could change if I watched the first two movies again. I watched Ice Age 3 in 3D, but …
Meet Dave: the movie
Eddie Murphy stars in the movie Meet Dave. The plot of this science-fiction/comedy is very original. At the start of the movie, a strange meteor like object crashes into a boy’s bedroom. It lands in his goldfish bowl and immediately sucks up the water. We …
Little Children (R, 2006) movie
I had been skipping this film over and over again in my Netflix queue. When it finally arrived, I was skeptical about whether I would like the movie. I understood that it was about suburban life, particularly two unhappy married people (married to other people) …
The Grudge 2
The Grudge is back. And for a while, after being thrilled by the first movie, I was looking forward to this one. But then, because of the trailer for the sequel seemed to give many scares away, I also feared that it would take the thrill out of …
Movie Freaky Friday
I sometimes think that certain producers lack fantasy in coming up with original movies. “Freaky Friday” represent a movie about twisting identity in a series of three that came and are going to be released from Hollywood. We all remember Tom Hanks famous role in “Big” and he was …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
The Notebook movie
This movie is based on a novel written by Nicholas Sparks. It stars Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands.
For a movie that is such high romance, it’s difficult to find two people who have enough chemistry on film to pull off the kind …
The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
The Taking of Pelham 123 is a pretty fast-paced kind of thriller movie that I enjoy watching very much. Bring your entourage with you to watch because this movie is just that thrilling fun. It kept me glued to the screen from start till finish. I am …

The original release date was May 27, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime/Drama/Sport and stars …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Movie: Goblin
My wife and I had a bit of free time yesterday afternoon and went through some of the movies we had recorded on our DVR.
One of these movies was one from the SyFy Channel called Goblin. It sounded somewhat interesting so we decided to watch it.
It was definitely somewhat …
The Gods Must Be Crazy
I wonder where the actors of this 1980 histerically funny movie are now. What I was referring to was the movie “Gods Must Be Crazy I, which had an equally funny sequel Gods Must Be Crazy II in 1989.
I could not tell in the beginning of …
Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring
My daughter loves Tom & Jerry cartoons. So, when I saw I could load the hour-long movie Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on our Netflix player for her, I did.
I ended up watching it with her last night and it was an OK cartoon but I guess I’m …
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable. However tightly the second movie concluded, however finally that last act seemed; box office gain would always dictate another movie would be made. Unfortunately, Terminator 3 neither provides a worthy successor to its predecessors, …
Movie Benny and Joon
Johnny Depp plays the roll of Sam, an accentric young man who falls in love with Joon, played by Mary Stuart Masterson, a young woman who lost touch with reality after her parents died. The movie is a clean, fun and enjoyable film to watch. A feel good story …
The Good German
Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …
Meet the Spartans
Normally, I like movies that spoof other movies; everything from Scary movie to pretty much anything made by Mel Brooks. But, after watching Meet the Spartans last night, I no longer can say I like all movies in that genre.
The thing about Meet the Spartans is it had the …
Flying Daggers movie
The latest film by chinese visionary Zhang Yimou is an amazing visual journey to an ancient China. Filmed in the same style as Hero, Flying Daggers manages to thrill me with speechless action stunts and magical cinematgraphy. This is easily the most visually captivating film in a long time. …
The Thirst Movie
The Thirst is one of the worst vampire movies I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot. I actually watch and review horror movies for payment and that means watching a lot of movies that I have no interest in watching usually. The movie follows a young girl who …
Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
ATM (2012 horror movie)
I had to admit that the plot for the horror movie “ATM” was certainly unique. It was that which made me interested in viewing it in the first place, even though I honestly had to wonder about how such a plot would be sustainable for an entire feature length film. …
Looper Movie
In the year of 2074, time travel is forbidden and is only to be used secretly by the biggest criminal organizations. To get rid of someone and all traces of his or her existence, the criminal syndicates send him 30 years back in time, where their specialized assassins called …
Hide And Seek
Hide And Seek was shown on my local TV channel and if it’s acting by Robert De Niro, I always make it a point to watch. This movie also sees the little kid, Dakota Fanning (think she had acted with Tom Cruise as well), I give this story 10 …
Blue Valentine Movie
Blue Valentine has a few good moments that I took with me, and the message is powerful. Yet, watching it was not an easy thing to do. It was beyond boring, it was dreadful, slow paced, and at times unbearable. The only reason why I and my friends kept …
Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
Mangal Pandey - movie
Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …
Batman: Under the Red Hood
Batman: Under the Red Hood is a Direct-to-DVD movie from DC Comics as a part of their DCUniverse movie titles. It tells the story of Batman and the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd at the hands of the Joker. Years later, a mysterious vigilante calling …
Dracula: Dead and Loving it
I’m a huge fan of Mel Brooks movies, so when I got a chance to see the film “Dracula Dead and Loving it” again, I had to take it.
As far as his movies are concerned, this isn’t going to rank as high as other films like Blazing Saddles or …
Toy Story
Toy Story is a very coll story about toys. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Light Year. I think that the 3D animation done in this movie was really cool! This was one of the first movies I saw done this way. And I really liked the whole 3D …
Movie Angel and the BAdman
My husband loves watching old westerns on television and one of his favorite actors as is mine is John Wayne. John Wayne it the epitome of what a wetern man should be. We were fortunate enought to cath the picture called the Angel and the Badman. This movie …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …
Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
Good luck Chuck - (starring Dane Cook)
Did you guys ever manage to watch Good luck Chuck before? It was super hilarious and I kept on laughing like crazy. Just couldn’t get a-hold of myself and it has mainly Dane Cook as the character name Chuck Logan and Jessica Alba as the beautiful and alluring …
Movie: “Prince of Egypt” (1998)
The Dreamworks masterpiece “Prince of Egypt” is one of the most beautiful and touching animated films of all time. It is a musical with stirring songs written by Stephen Schwartz; and it features an all-star cast of voices, including Val Kilmer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, and Patrick …

Graduation Day
I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …
Watchmen (2009)
A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …
Sweeney Todd
I just put Sweeney Todd into my DVD player again. I absolutely love this movie; there is something about Johnny Depp singing operatically while slitting someone’s throat that is just captivating. I think Tim Burton did brilliantly with this movie. Across the front of the DVD …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
Young At Heart
I recommend everyone to watch this, Young At Heart. This is something that I would recommend any senior citizen to watch. As we grow old, we become more sensitive and prone to feelings that we might not succumb to should we are young.
This movie is about a group …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Last night I watched for the second time of this movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is for all of age, and the story is about the kid who win the ticket to enter the Chocolate Factory, so it’s nice to watch by children accompanied by parents …
Daybreakers Movie
Daybreakers is a new twist on vampire movies. In this movie vampires were the majority race and control the world. They hunt and farm humans for their blood. Yet when the human population is decreasing there is a need to find a substitute to human blood. This is where …
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …
