I have been longing for this holiday break because my movies watchlist is getting longer and longer. I have more than 50 films to watch out of passion but as soon as the school year starts again next month, I may have trouble watching them all.
Last night I chose to …

Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …

I recently went and saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I think most people know the plot line to nightmare on Elm Street, and for those few who don’t it’s a pretty simple slasher flick. A badly burned Psycho who was killed years ago by an angry mob …

Recently, I watched the 2009 remake of the innovative film, Fame, which spawned a hit TV series. I wasn’t sure how I’d react to it. I liked the original movie, and I adored the series, so this movie had a lot to live up to.
The first thing …

Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …

Let’s cut to the chase. If you are planning on renting “The Unborn,” do yourselves a huge favor and save your dollars for a rainy day. You’ll be better off nailing your eyeballs shut than watching this misleading sorry waste of time. This film is poorly written and poorly …

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …

Battle Los Angeles is a decent film, not amazing, but certainly worth watching for anyone interested in the action genre.
Since I watched the disappointing “Monsters” a few months ago, BLA gave me hope for a good alien invasion picture. I was slightly disappointed I have to admit.
The story isn’t …

Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …

If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.
Set in Africa, Justin Quayle, a …

Dancing At The Blue Iguana is not going to win any Oscars, but it is still a good movie. Dancing At The Blue Iguana focuses on the lives of four dancers. These dancers are not your ordinary ballet stars, they are topless dancers. The Blue Iguana is not your …

My sassy girl is a very funny movie. As per my own opinion, the Hollywood version is better than the Korean version, because the Korean version, I think it is a bit dragging, there are some scenes that aren’t really needed but I guess the writer and the director …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …

(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …

“Accidental Hero” is a great movie with a good story involving three great talented actors, Dustin Hoffman, Gena Davis and Andy Garcia. We have seen Hoffman in a lot of different characters; however I believe that there is something very special about his acting part in this movie. …

The House Bunny
PG-13
Director: Fred Wolf
Cast: Anna Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone, Kat Dennings
When I saw the trailers for “The House Bunny”, I was excited to see it because Anna Faris was in the movie, and I thought she was a funny actress after seeing her in the Scary Movie …

This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …

When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …

As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …

Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …

I really enjoyed watching this film. It is the usual silly movie where a guy goes after a woman out of his league, there are many of them in hollywood at any time, but this one was a little different. For starters, the layers of humor that …

The actor, Tom Cruise managed to do a lot of things with his trilogy movie “Mission Impossible”. To put everything in a nutshell he managed to create a unique image to “Mission Impossible” with the special effects involved and, at the same time, destroy the strong concept of team …

When my wife picked out the movie Fingerprints off our Netflix instant watch queue last night, I honestly wasn’t expecting a whole lot from the movie. After all, most of the so-called horror films out there are nothing more than soft-core porn in disguise or think extra blood and …

This much anticipated movie based on Stephenie Mayer’s novel “Twilight” was a huge disappointment to me since I have read the book. I fell in love with the book when I first read it and couldn’t wait for the movie to come out when the book was said to …
