The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
I don’t know what on the earth prompt me to go for this movie; I had already read so many reviews about the film with filled mixed reactions. Those who had watched highly acclaimed classic with the same name made in 1951 simply loathed this one. I myself had …

The Haunted Mansion (2003)
This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …

88 minutes movie
This was a really good movie overall. Al Pacino plays in it and he plays a forensic psychiatrist. He gets a phone call and tells him that he only has 88 minutes to live. I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was entertaining, and kept my interests throughout the …
The Punisher (DVD)
I’ll be honest, The Punisher wasn’t one of those movies that I was dying to see or in fact even wanted to see. That all changed when I went over to my brother’s house. He had rented this movie from blockbuster and we decided to watch it. I am …
Thor (2011) Movie
I have for a long time been an amateur of legendary or epic figures, and especially those present in the Norse culture. For this very reason, I was unsure about watching this movie, being afraid that it might be more in the Hollywood style and not reflect the true …
Forest Gump The Movie
If I am to rank my favorite films, Forest Gump will definitely find its place among the top 10. The movie was released back in 1994 and maybe most of you have watched it. Starring is Tom Hanks and the movie is directed by Robert Zemeckis. What I like …
Remember Me Movie
Okay, I admit it I only watched this movie because of Robert Pattinson and their beautiful movie poster that hung at the cinema every time I pass by. Having said that, I find the movie a bit dragging and the emotions they portray are blown out of proportion. …
Daddy’s Little Girls movie
Daddy’s Little Girls is one of those “feel-good” films starring a predominantly all-black cast. Starring Gabrielle Union and British-born Idris Elba, the story revolves around a single-father ex-con, limo driver who happens to fall for a successful young lawyer (Union). His fight to remain in his three …

Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …

Slither movie not worth watching
When I saw the previews for Slither on TV, I thought it was going to be a good horror movie. After all, you can’t go wrong with slimy slugs that take over people’s bodies and turn them into zombies.
Unfortunately, the makers of the movie missed big-time and turned what …
The Duff (2015 comedy movie)
It had been a long time since I watched one of those teenage movies, and so after seeing the trailer for the movie “The Duff”; I became interested in seeing it. Despite the opinions of some people I know, it didn’t seem cliche to me at the time, and I …
Batman Forever, movie
Val Kilmer’s time out as Batman isn’t a bad turn at the helm, but it’s certainly not as strong as the original 89 movie with Michael Keaton in the role. Still this film had a great caste, but it made the same mistake that has killed so many other …

Into The Woods (Movie)
I was waiting for this movie for so long not only because Disney produced it but also because my favorite actors are there: Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep, Chris Pine, and Anna Kendrick.
At first I was so happy to know that it is a musical movie but I was a …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.
This is an elaborate movie based on the revenge concept. What made it so special is the huge star studded cast of superstar actors. …
The Prince & Me
When the Prince & Me came out on DVD, I avoided it. But, when it showed up on cable, my wife forced me to watch it. What a cheesy film.

Pineapple Express
Have you guys ever watched Pineapple Express before..? Well, I have and it is a nice comedy that I love watching pretty much. Don’t know why movies that star kind of dumb actors work really well. An example would be Jim Carey. In this case, the …
Shinobi
Shinobi is a japanese movie but depending on where you get it, it comes with english subs (in my case, thai and chinese were available also). Shinobi actually means ninja. It’s your typical movie of two ninja tribes going against each other but the boy and girl from different …

The Outsiders movie
I simply enjoy doing reviews for old movies because you have the advantage of knowing how they effect people and very importantly what happens to the actors afterwards. “The Outsiders” is a classic movie that goes down in history. Apart from the fact that it is directed from the …

Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …
Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay
Normally, whenever a movie is a surprise hit, someone can’t wait to make a sequel to it and, more often than not, that sequel doesn’t even come close to the original.
This was the case of Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
The first movie, Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle …

Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …
Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.

Dickinson Eastglen 16 movie theater, Lee’s Summit, MO

The …
Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
