Due Date (movie)
The movie “Due Date” was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t expect that I would enjoy it so much. In the movie, a man played by the actor Robert Downy Jr. drives across the United States along with a struggling actor who got him kicked off a plane so …
FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
Far and Away movie
Though I tend to love a Ron Howard movie because it’s most always well crafted and told with respect as well as flair, I hadn’t yet watched Far and Away until a friend sent it to me a while ago. I actually watched it in pieces; couldn’t quite …

Movie: Legend of the Dead
We had a bit of a late dinner last night and, since we knew we weren’t going to have time to go for a walk after eating, we ended up finding a movie to watch instead. The movie we ended up watching was one from the SyFy channel; Legend …
Kiss the girls
Kiss the girls stars Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman - both who I think are good actors. It is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america for violence and sexual content.
A killer that calls himself ‘Casanova’ has kidnapped eight young women who are all beautiful and all …
On thin ice
This was an excellent movies. I would definately recommend watching it. It is one of my favorite movies that lifetime plays. I would watch it again and I would buy it. Diane Keaton plays in it. She plays as a mother of two young boys. Her character has a …

Get Christie Love! movie
In 1974, viewers were presented with the very unique movie, Get Christie Love! The main character, a police lieutenant named Christie Love, was played by Teresa Graves, who might actually be remembered for her comedy input as a regular on Laugh-In.
In reality, this movie which did turn into …
“In the Loop” movie 2009
In the loop is a political satire that is at times somewhat funny, but other times grossly overdone. The profanity is so extreme that it makes the film seem too unrealistic even for a satire. This film gives character to a hypothetical U S Government, and a hypothetical U K …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse, apocalyptic fiction action horror film
How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …
She’s All That (1999)
She’s All That, directed by Robert Iscove is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content, crude humor, brief strong language and teen drinking. The original release date for this movie was January 29, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre …
In Too Deep (1999)
This movie is about a drug lord who is so in control of his area and surround areas that they refer to him as ‘god’. Without any hard information on him, the authorities cannot touch him and that makes him what they call ‘untouchable’. But they are not going …
27 dresses (movie)
We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …
Movie: Shutter Island
It has been a while since I actually watched a psycho thriller. Psycho thrillers are weird, crazy and scary, but I enjoy them a lot! Last week, I finally got my hands on a DVD copy of Shutter Island and I was oozing with curiosity with just what is …
Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …
Glitter-film
I recently watched a rags-to-riches film starring the singer Mariah Carey.It is called glitter and is about a singer named Billie Frank who rises to success after being abadndoned by her mother and sent to an orphanage when she was a child.
The story starts with billie and her mother …
Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li
I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …
Japenese Anime - Death Note
This anime centers around a younger student, Light Yagami, who finds a death god’s notebook. The notebook allows the user to kill anyone by simply writing their face in the notebook and imagining their victim’s name. Once finding the notebook, Light decides to use it to rid …

Harold and Kumar went to White Castle for a snack in 2004. The comedy would become one of the biggest hits in the stoner community. Four years later Harold and Kumar are heading to a whole new place and this time they won’t be eating any mini burgers at …
Million Dollar Baby movie
When Million Dollar Baby is launched in 2004, I was curious to watch this movie but I didn’t watch this movie until last night I watched it in television. This movie is win many Oscar.
The story is about Maggie (Hillary Swank) who wanna be a boxer, and he train …
The Brother’s Grimm (2005)
This movie is one of my favorites from the late young actor Heath Ledger. In fact, thinking about it now I’m not sure which one of his movies I didn’t like. Nevertheless one of the reasons why I liked this movie was because it appealed to the …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
Zombeavers, horror movie
With a movie title like this, you have a pretty good idea of what sort of movie you’re in for. This isn’t going to be a good movie in the traditional sense, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t be an entertaining one.
Odd as it may sound, it …
Blue Valentine Movie
One of this year’s Oscar contenders, Blue Valentine tells the story of Cindy and Dean, a couple on
the verge of a divorce after a short but beautiful courtship. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams act
their hearts out in this tearjerker and really bring to life these characters along with their …
Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …
Lost in Space movie
A space adventure in which a family travels to outer space to explore new worlds. What they don’t know is that they brought an insane doctor with them who has his very own plans for the mission.
I like the them of space exploring in films, and this film begins …
King Arthur
First off, I did not hate this movie. It was a somewhat entertaining movie with nice special effects, great battle sequences, and acting, when not overblown or stale, was watchable. What bothered me was at the beginning of the movie, we are promised with text on the …
Movie : Date Movie (2006)
Oh how I love these kind of movies…. You know, the ones that spoof genres and imitate many films at the same time. Examples of these are ones like SCARY MOVIE, DANCE FLICK, THE NAKED GUN, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE etc… One of the main reasons I like these …
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning is a gripping thriller that will surprise and entertain. The story is about a widower (De Niro) and his daughter (Fanning) who moves to the country to try to build a new life after his wife commits suicide. …
Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.
I actually remember seeing this movie at the drive-in with my parents when I was a …
Power to the Peephole
No episode better showcases the out of date parodies of Tripping the Rift than this episode: “Power to the Peephole” which bases its entire B plot (or is it the C plot) around the whole Monica Lewinsky debacle. Not just a joke or two, but it is actually …
Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary
One might think that documentaries about sexually explicit topics will be full of juicy material. I found this one downright boring. While it was interesting to see porn stars (like Tera Patrick) actually taking part in interviews, some of the dialogue and things they were talking about …
Hideous Kinky movie
Hideous Kinky is about a young, English woman who takes her two daughters to Morocco in search of learning to live life anew. Kate Winslet plays Kinky, the mother. Kinky and her two girls live all over and the girls endure their mother’s relationships, poverty and sometimes poor decisions. …
Hostel movie
Hostel
Ever see a great movie that ended up being a disappointing movie before the running time was up?
Hostile falls into that category 100% Over sexed college guys trekking across Europe go in search of a Hostel where all their fantasies will be fulfilled, only to discover they are now …
Quarantine movie
Quarantine must have been written during the writers strike or at least by a nephew of a producer. How a script like this is green lit makes even a hack like me think I could do better. I don’t know if this was …
Movie Orphan
I really feel like wanting to smack right out of this kid, Esther. The movie is not in a horror genre but more to gory. Orphan the movie, is unexpected and you will be surprised at the revelation. I’m not going to tell you what it is …
The Hot Chick Movie
This movie is one of Rob Schneider’s movie and I have seen this a couple of times on HBO already but I still want to watch it every time it’s being shown. It also features Anna Faris and Rachel McAdams when they were still not famous and I really …
Movie Quarantine
Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)
It was believed to be good, a first person story seen through the lenses of a camera; it proved otherwise. Remakes, as usual, often do not measure up to the …
K-19: The Widowmaker movie
K-19: The Widowmaker was released in 2002, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. It took me three or four views to really get into and grasp the entire scope of the story. That surprised me because …
Good Neighbors Movie (2010)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie Good Neighbors for quite some time. I have read mixed reviews about it and wanted to check it out for myself. My overall impression at the end of the movie was that overall it is a forgettable movie. There have been …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
Star Trek The Motion Picture movie
This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …
Grown Ups Movie (2010)
I just recently saw the Grown Ups movie. This is a movie that stars and was produced by Adam Sandler and Happy Madison production. This movie stars Adam Sandler’s friends like Rob Schneider, David Spade, Chris Rock, Kevin James (Albert in Hitch!) and Salma Hayek. There are also the …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
Meet The Parents (movie)
Meet The Parents is a family favorite. Ben Stiller is his usual funny self in this film. He plays Greg Focker, and you know that with a name like that, there are some troubles bound to happen. Greg is in love with Pam and he wants to propose but …
Kung Fu Panda
One of the most entertaining and lesson-filled computer animated movies I’ve watched would be Kung Fu Panda. A 2008 offering from Dreamworks starring Jack Black as the voice of the main character, Po, the panda who’s crazy about kung fu. He knows everything about kung fu except that he …
