RV (Robin Williams) movie
When RV came out at the theaters, I avoided it like the plague. I like Robin Williams but I have been very disappointed by his comedies in the past.
After seeing it on DVD this past weekend, I was sorry it took me so long to see it.
I was always …
Alien Vs. Predator: The First Movie
Being a huge Alien and Predator fan, I had always wanted to see if a crossover movie could actually work between these two powerhouses. I remember a few years ago, before the plans for the current first AVP movie, hearing about how there were plans to make such a …

Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …
Vexille, CGI anime film
I applaud Vexille for taking a different direction in its CG animation, but the lack of characterization and story really hurt it in the long run.
In the year 2067, an international law restricted the use of robotic technology. In protest of this law, Japan decided to isolate itself from …

Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
November Man (thriller movie)
The trailer for November Man didn’t make it come off as something that I would want to see in the theatres. For some reason, it just felt as if the movie wouldn’t be very good. However, when I watched it, even though I didn’t think it was great, it was …
The Grudge Movie
The movie The Grudge is one of the best new scary movies to come out recently. I did enjoy the movie. Although I must say it’s very similar to The Ring. The reason I saw this is because both of the dead people who come back to kill were …
The Little Mermaid II: Return To The Sea animation movie
This is a sequel to The Little Mermaid, an obvious attempt to cash in on the popularity of the first movie. Ariel, a former mermaid turned into a human, lives with her human husband, Eric, in his palace. They have a daughter, Melody. When baby Melody is taken to …
Aladdin and The Wonderful Lamp
I was able to see this movie right after I saw The Little Mermaid. Back at that time we were still watching with Beta max and not VHS. As a kid my brother and I watched it together and since we love cartoon movies and shows we enjoyed it …
2 Weeks Notice - 2002 Movie
2 Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant is a movie in which the two stars play the exact same characters (with different names) that they have in a multitude of other movies that I have seen. While You Were Sleeping and Bridget Jones’ Diary come to mind. …
Whisper of the Heart movie
Another good good good!
Another topnotch of Ghibli stuff. This is is one of the romance movie I have seen without cliche and it tackles so much about life in a very simple way. Though its an old movie it definitely deserves a second look.
Hayao Miyazaki is one of …
The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
The Glass House,2001 movie
A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …
A Bridge Too Far movie

The problem with A …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
Friday the 13th Part 8
I realize that most people think this is the worst film in the entire series of Friday the 13th movies, but I actually did like it. I think what I liked the most was that it almost feels as if the producers know people will think it’s cheesy so …
Pathology movie
I was really eager to watch this movie because of its plot but after a few minutes or so in this movie, I kind of feel unsatisfied and disgruntled.
Pathology is a story about Dr. Ted Grey, played by Milo Ventimiglia, a Harvard Medical School graduate who joined a …
Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …
Quantum of Solace
During the time that Quantum of Solace was on cinemas, I decided to watch it with my best friend. In the end, both of us had a different opinion on the movie.

The incredible hulk which is the second part of the movie The Hulk, is overall a nice action movie but still not as good as the first part. In the second part the hero of the movie who is actually the hulk, desperately run around to change his genetic …
Tequila Sunrise movie
From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.
Now it’s possible that …

I love Asian movies; I liked mostly the horror movies, the likes of “The Shutter, “The Eye”, among others. It was just recently that my brother has downloaded an anime series called the death note. It was a bit long, too long for me to actually sit down and …
Everyone Says I Love You - (starring Drew Barrymore)
I didn’t know that this musical, Everyone Says I Love You was directed by Woody Allen until my friend highlighted it to me. I am not that big a fan for musicals, but at the same time, I don’t prevent from watching it altogether. I think that musical …
Alice in Wonderland Movie (2010)
Alice in Wonderland was my favorite cartoon movie before, and I would always dream and wished I was Alice so I could eat the cookies and drink the potion that would make me smaller or bigger than my average size. I wanted to be Alice when I was a …

Movie: “Bolt”
Armed with a unique plot, beautifully colorful animation, and endearing characters, “Bolt” was an absolute delight. I enjoyed every adorable minute of it.
Bolt, voiced by John Travolta, is the star of a TV show where he plays a dog with super powers. The catch: Bolt doesn’t KNOW it’s all …
Beethoven the movie
I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …
Edge of Darkness (2010) movie
I’m always hesitant to watch a Mel Gibson film but I decided to jump in and try this one. Edge of Darkness is a movie based on an old BBC series with the same name.
Mel Gibson is a detective named Thomas Craven who’s daughter is shot outside of his …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
Eat, Pray, Love Movie (2010)
I must admit that I was pretty enthusiastic about purchasing tickets for the latest Julia Roberts flick, “Eat, Pray, Love”. A girlfriend of mine had started reading the best-selling book upon which the movie was based. She praised it highly and promised to loan it to me …
Cold Souls Movie
Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …
Resident Evil Movie
Resident Evil is one of the best movies based on a video games I have ever seen. Usually movies based on video games suck. But this movie truly being the hardcore action to the table. I really like how they go back to how everything started. The story in the …

This is a silent film by the danish filmmaker Benjamin Christensen, but it was produced in Sweden with swedish actors, so the swedes has been taking credit for this as one of their most important silents. It is also considered as one of the first full length horror films …
10 (movie)
The movie 10 catapulted Bo Derek into a household name. Bo is steamy hot in this film, although the acting leaves much to be desired. I like 10 because it’s cool to see an icon when she was young and very, very beautiful. Bo Derek can’t act worth a …
The Incredible Hulk
