The Dark Knight
In the months leading up to The Dark Knight, I had heard so much about the film from people who love Batman saying things like “this is the way batman is supposed to be” and that “Chris Nolan is one of the best movie makers around”. Needless to say …
Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …
All the President’s Men
I’m not into politics much at all, but like most of America, I was glued to much of the Watergate hearings. All the President’s Men is the story of how we got to that point, and it’s superbly done. I remember when I first saw it in …
Jonah Hex movie
I just saw Jonah Hex, and my exact thoughts of seeing the movie: “what the?” Jonah Hex is one of those movies where almost all things predictable culminates. The story is about (guess who?) Jonah Hex, a soldier accused of betraying his regimen and killing Jeb Turnbull, his best …
Big Man on Campus movie
What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …

Doctor Evil has hatched a new plan for world domination, this time around he will use his time machine to go back in time and return with a Dutchman who has developed a cold fusion unit for a tractor beam, with this tractor beam he plans to pull a …
Martian Kid movie
When I saw the movie “Martian Kid” on the cable guide last night, I immediately decided to watch it since I thought just the title of the movie sounded very interesting and promising, and I wanted to watch it since I thought that the title sounded very unfamiliar to …
Stag
This is a program that I often see on Pay-Per-View that shows mainly the bachelor of a soon to be married couple going out on the town with his friends to celebrate his last night as a single man. They hop from club to club, drinking and having a …
Network movie
Network was an intriguing motion picture that really tests just how far the media will go for ratings. The scary part is I feel like we’ve seen just how far they’d go, only this was back before the craziness really became rampant.
Faye Dunaway makes a big impression in …
Alone in The Wilderness
One night when I was channel surfing for something interesting to watch, I stumbled onto a PBS special called Alone in The Wilderness. It is a movie based on a book written by Dick Proenneke. It was about his life and how he went to Alaska to live a …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Rocky Balboa
I would have to say that I love all Sylvester Stallone movies. Although I didn’t like this one as much as the other ones at one part of the movie my view was completely changed and grasped. What I love about this movie is it is soooo inspirational. Anytime …
Daddy Day Camp movie
I watched Daddy Day Camp with my sister a few days ago. Neither of us were very interested in it. I usually like kid’s movies, but I didn’t care for this one. My sister never did finish watching all of the movie, she just kept rewinding and fast forwarding …
The Princess Bride movie
The Princess Bride is a wonderful movie for people of all ages that appeals to all movie-goers. It has romance, fighting, comedy, suspense, drama, miracles, and pretty much anything you can want in a great movie! It is based on the book, The Princess Bride, by William Goldman and …
Volcano movie
In the late 1990s it became some sort of trend in Hollywood with nature disaster films, just as it was in the early 70s, and Volcano is one example of this. It appears a volcano is having an eruption right outside the city of Los Angeles, and Tommy Lee …
Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
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 …
Batman The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Movie
Dark Knight Rises. When you think about it, it certainly sounds like a Batman movie. I mean, Batman is always needing to rise above or overcome something. His world is always filled with darkness and overcoming the evils of Gotham City. But in this movie, I think there were …
Madagascar movie
I really enjoyed this movie, even though it was for kids. It is nice that there are kids’ movies that adults can watch and even enjoy. The animation in this movie is great!
In this movie, a group of zoo animal friends are celebrating one friend’s birthday (a vain lion, …
Sleepless in Seattle
Sleepless in Seattle is a very good romantic movie and has some good performances by the leading actors played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Tom Hanks is obviously a good performer and has proved his acting abilities in many movies and in this movie too he gives a …
The Founder, movie (2016)
Most of all, I like movies about how a business is created. That’s why I watched the movie The Founder with great interest. It seems that everyone knows the story of the great McDonald’s. Who Ray Kroc is and what year he met the McDonald brothers. Suddenly, it’s only a …
Dark Skies (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was the movie “Dark Skies”. It’s not to be confused with the television series of the same name that was popular in the late nineteen nineties, even though it has a bit of a similar motif. When I watched the …
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Hardly expected because one of the leading characters ,who is in fact Jim Carey,this movie is very good,presenting a dramatic story out of a marvelous idea.The story starts with the two main characters,Joel Barish and Clementine.Joel is a passive,shy guy that is living a dull and nostalgic existence,day …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
The pursuit of happiness
‘The pursuit of happiness’ is a movie which is directed by Gabriele Muccino. The main actors are Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Christopher Smith. All these actors have performed well. There is no flaw in their performance.
The main character is Chris Gardener. He struggles to support his family by …
Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …
Michael Keaton
Michael Keaton is a great actor that I admire a lot. He has done very well in many of his movies. He did a great job of acting in the movie Batman. He played the role of Bruce Wayne and Batman. His acting skills were really good on this movie. …
Regarding Henry movie
This movie, Regarding Henry, is one I enjoy watching a great deal. It stars Harrison Ford as a very unlikable lawyer who cares more about image and his dining room table than he does for his wife and daughter. Annette Bening is the wife, and Mikki Allen …
Despicable Me (2010) movie
Well I decided to go see this movie with the girl day after opening day and the theater was packed with excitement and I can not lie I was ready and in the mood for a good laugh and this movie did not fail or that at all.

Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …

My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully. The only drawback is that much of the film takes place in dark underground mining shafts and eerie wooded areas at night, which makes it difficult at …

Everything was going really well until it started heavy rain in …
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s advertised as kind of a “team” film, but it truly is Susan’s (Reece Witherspoon) movie.
The movie begins on Susan’s wedding day. As she’s heading into the church, she gets hit by a meteor which she actually absorbs into her body. …
Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
Big Fish (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …

I remember hearing my share about the latest Robo Cop film. Many said the film was awesome and was better than the older, originals films, while others swore that the film sucked. So to say I decided to watch it for myself.
The problem with remakes of old movies …
Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …

Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …

Batman and Superman are among the most iconic comic book characters of all time and have been for some time now. Both of these popular superheros were born during what many consider to be the golden age of comics; a period that roughly covered a portion of the early to …
The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …
