Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
Final Destination 2 movie
I absolutely loved the first Final Destination when it came out and thought this one would be just as good. I was wrong.
Final Destination 2 was a good movie and was still better than many of the other thrillers out there. But, it definitely paled in comparison to the …

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)
I had heard and read a lot about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before I watched in on DVD yesterday. I have followed the director Terry Gilliam’s career from his Monty Python days, and have very much admired his somewhat strange and eccentric art and movies. I had also …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …

A great relationship movie from a mastermind named Tyler Perry. The focus is on four couples who have been great friends for years. This movie touches on a lot of topics regarding men and woman alike, the struggles that each go through in finding themselves, the bridges they must …
Village of the Damned
It had been ages since I saw the classic movie Village of the Damned. So, when it came on one of the movie channels over the weekend, I had to sit down and watch it again.

Ghost Rider (UR, 2007) movie
I typically do not like comic book films. But I will admit that this little movie starring Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider won me over with little effort. What I liked in particular was the way his transformation into the Ghost Rider was filmed. …

Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …

Save the Green Planet, South Korean film
Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was a great homage to all the cliff hanger serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It was another blockbuster for the 1980s and was 1981’s biggest box office hit. It helped to solidify Spielberg as one of the top directors in Hollywood and …
Shrek 3
I have always firmly believed that after the second part of a movie, everybody should give up bravely and look for other ideas instead of milking the movie’s earlier successes to death as can be seen in the likes of Robocop, Scream, etc but back to Shrek 3.
Last week, …

Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
13 Going on 30
One of my favorite movies is 13 Going on 30. This is such a cute, enjoyable, and romantic movie. It starts off with the character Jenna as a 13 year old, wishing that she was 30 years old, so she wouldn’t have to be made fun of …

Envy the Movie
I watched this movie with my family, but it did not turn out being a very friendly film for families. I wish that it was a better one for us to have watched, but at the same time, it was funny, and kids are used to hearing bad language …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie
I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
Doubt movie
In the face of progressive change, how much does compassion figure in long-established doctrine and discipline? This seems to be the question that is initially asked the audience upon watching “Doubt”, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning period stage play by John Patrick Shanley, but as …
Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s baaaaack! Tim Burton’s classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is back, better than ever- and now in 3-D!
I am a huge fan of Jack “The Pumpkin King” Skellington and the gang- and since the Disney hit was released first in 1993, then re-released out of the vault …
Film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Truly one of the most innovative films of the 1980’s, I don’t believe that anyone truly expected what this film was before they witnessed it.
I remember seeing it at the theater when I was around nine years old. I’d seen the advertisements, and while it sure did seem different …
Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Apartment 1303
I am a fan of Asian horror movies. I purchased this DVD movie “Apartment 1303″, a Japanese horror, because I was attracted to its title and also the cover. The cover is pictured with one creepy red eye on the right side, and a door numbered 1303 on the …

“Wanted” is the most recent Angelina Jolie success movie. Although this is labelled a Jolie movie, in reality “Wanted” is all about the actor, James McAvoy and the director, Timur Bekmambetov great talents! This movie was very much well received by critics and the general public.
It is very difficult …
Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …
