The Mummy was released in 1999, directed by Stephen Sommers and was considered by some as an “Indiana Jones” for the nineties. I first saw it at the cinema almost as soon as it was released, tempted by the trailers and other details I had seen and read. I’m …

Filmmaking is a medium that should transcend people into experiences rare in reality. Magic is one way to describe this art. The images are meticulously planned that the frames almost look surreal and incalculably rich and Andrea Arnold knows this secret so she magisterially created a piece of cinema that …

I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …

I am reviewing the Christmas movie, The Polar Express, which was released in 2004. Tom Hanks stars in this animated movie about the magic of Christmas. It’s about a little boy who is having doubts about the existence of Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, he embarks on a magical …

Flags of Our Father is a very strong, graphic and realistic war movie covering the battle of Iwo Jima. Having seen other movies such as Private Ryan, I had gone into this movie with the expectation to see lots of battle scenes and the brutality of war. …

I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.
However, my oldest daughter, who loves the cartoons, wanted to …

I spent a good chunk of my Saturday morning watching movies on some of the movie channels we have a free trial of. One of them was Josie and the Pussycats; a movie I haven’t seen in a while.
This is a great movie, at least better than you might …

Star Wars movies that take place before “A New Hope” don’t have the best track record. When Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, however, they decided to take another crack at it.
Was this a way to milk the cash cow beyond just doing another trilogy? Yeah, …

MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …

John Q has been a favourite of mine for years; it is a great demonstration of how you can combine family drama and a little bit of action thrown in too.
I think the plot is brilliant and, before things kick off, gives you a very emotional opinion of the …

“Just like Heaven” is simply a great romantic movie with a touch of magic and fantasy. What would you do if you start seeing a ghost? I personally would scream out loud and run away, however David Abbott went to find help to assist her crossover the other side! …

Alright, you probably now about the movie Gladiator by now. You’ve heard the stories about its gore and fighting. Well honestly, you have too see this movie. It is superb. Russell Crowe is at his finest moment of acting in this movie. HE plays the main character so well …

I thought this movie was extremely entertaining. Rob Gordon, (expertly portrayed by John Cusack) is in the midst of a nasty split from his current girlfriend, Laura (played by Iben Hjejle, best of luck pronouncing that!). He is mad at the world and cannot understand why he cannot succeeed …

Mid-life soft comedies are a brand that Melissa McCarthy shaped and maintains to this day. At McCarthy’s instigation, as well as that of director Ben Falcone (who, by the way, is Melissa McCarthy’s husband), such films as “Big Boss” and “The Soul of the Company” appeared.

Mid-life soft …

I recently watched the movie, “I now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” for the first time. This movie is hilarious! The movie is rated PG-13 and stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Jessica Biel, Steven Buscemi and Dan Aykroyd.
“I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” is about Larry Valentine and …

I have never appreciated The Last Samurai until it was pointed out at one of the conventions I attended recently. One of the speakers at the convention pointed out that the values and tradition upheld by these ancient Japanese warriors are significant in the building of a person’s character.
After the …

This is a movie that changed my perspective on life forever! No movie has ever approached its impact on my psyche. This movie revealed my history in the very saddest and unflattering terms. This movie succeeded in erasing my innocent perspective od United States History and forever cast a …

Irreconcilable Differences with Ryan O’Neal, Shelley Long, Sharon Stone, and Drew Barrymore.
I had heard so much about this movie’s quality that I longed to see it for the first time. It will be the last time. The movie is the enactment of the recollections …

If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
Joe Morton plays “The Brother,” an escaped slave from a planet know as “Another Planet.” I think that was the best joke …

I think that Push the movie is not that bad but not that great either. Honestly speaking, it has some good and bad moments. Child actress Dakota Fanning is charming as always but I find that her role could have been better.
Maybe because this is kind …

My wife and I were flipping channels the other day trying to find something that wasn’t a re-run we’ve seen 100 times before. After a frustrating search, we decided to watch the made-for-tv movie Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal, which is apparently based on a true story we never …

I love baseball, and I love musicals, so naturally, I love Damn Yankees! Tab Hunter was awesome as a young Joe Hardy, the man who made a deal with the devil that allowed him to play for his beloved New York Yankees. It’s an engrossing sports tale …

Has Bruce Lee ever made a bad movie? Well, yes and no, he hasn’t. The movies starring Bruce Lee himself, yes they were awesome, and they still are. But after Bruce’s untimely death during the filming of the Crow, several savvy B-movie directors decided that they could easily capitalize …

We are often at this theatre, as we try to go for a movie night out together once a week. It is a very nice theatre and the location is great, in the heart of New Minas, on the main road, close to shopping and restaurants, and a nice …

I hated this movie so much for many different reasons. One of the main ones was that I expected that they would have made a better movie for it being that “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons would come on local tv on Saturday mornings and it was one of …

I suppose watching The Baader-Meinhof Complex has totally alerted me to appreciate movie making of this genre very much. This is quite a deep movie and I have a certain analysis after watching it. In a world now where there are issues of terrorism and many more, watching …

Based on true life events, this movie tells the story of a mentally challenged young man. How he came into this light to be made a movie of is quite interesting and this movie will shine a lot of light into what exactly happed before, during and after the …

Fiesta is a small musical film from 1941 that features Ann Ayars as Cholita and Jorge ‘George’ Negrete as José. The opening song is inviting and very upbeat; I enjoyed it greatly.
The spirited movie begins with a 3 day fiesta being held with the goal of honoring the return …

Weird Al Yankovic has always been a controversial singer and is definitely no actor. But, his movie UHF is an instant classic that should be shown more on television.
Yankovic stars as a guy who inherits a near-bankrupt television station and ends up turning the station around, causing a head …

I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …

Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …

I didn’t get to see this movie in the theaters when it was released. With the DVD I spent my hard earn money and popped this bad boy into my Playstation 3. When it was all said and done I was pretty glad I didn’t see this in the …

In 2005, fan encouragement resulted in this movie called Serenity. It was a follow up to the science fiction series Firefly. Now, I’ve only seen a couple of episode of Firefly. It just didn’t grab me at the time, so I’m a bit behind the story when …

I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …

I don’t really remember this movie coming out. I did not even know it existed until I was about 11 and my sister brought it home from the library. However when I did watch it I thought that it was cute.
I liked the idea that it was basically …

Last night was probably the 7th or 8th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say it, I love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.
Johnny Depp has a lot of great films. This is probably one of his best …

This is yet another great movie (a horror movie) that is 100% Filipino made. I love this movie because it sent me chills to my bones and I think even though this movie is quite old already, many people still haven’t forgotten about it because it is really one …

I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …

When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …

Before the movie was released I knew nothing about the Marvel comic or even the animated series. Therefore, it was totally new to me when I saw the trailer for the very first time and didn’t know what to expect. After watching it though, I’m definitely surprised by how good …

When Jane, played by Juliette Lewis, inherits an apartment building with tenants, and she decides to move in to the apartment building despite the warning and concerns from her boyfriend about that situation she is getting herself into. It would seem as soon as she moved into the apartment …

The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …

The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …
