Dragonball Evolution
I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …

The Sex in the City movie
I don’t know that they necessarily needed to make a move, but I’m glad they did. Sure, it wasn’t the greatest movie of all time, but it was enjoyable if you are a Sex in the City fan like I am. Now, I would be wary for younger viewers …

Battle Warrior Movie
Warning to all you Tony Jaa fans out there, don’t waste your time with this movie! I ended up making the mistake of buying this movie. The packaging of the 2 disc collector’s edition is pretty slick. It has Tony’s face on the front with his …
Suicide Club horror movie
Suicide Club (or Circle, in practically everywhere besides the US) is a Japanese psychological horror movie that deals with subliminal messages, people’s outward appearances and personalities, and the idea of cults. It seems to have a popular, although small, fandom. I first watched it at a friend’s house, and …
Catwoman
This movie is kitty litter. The plot is stupid and outrageous, and the only thing you get out of this film is a movie where you laugh at the stupid people who wasted their lives in the filming of this movie. This movie has probably only gotten views by …
True lies movie
“True lies” is kind of a movie,which I really love to watch.And most of all it has Arnold Schwarzenegger in it,so you can imagine that what kind f action action this movie promises.I watched this movie for 5 times or more I think,and every time I watch it,it seems …

Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
One of the best movie musicals ever made in my opinion. Every song from start to end in this magnificent film is worth memorizing. I have all of the lodged in deep memory from the very first time I saw this film. Ok, on to reviewing the movie.
This movie …
Dinosaur Movie
I recently watched again the movie Dinosaur from Disney Channel, and as usual I am amazed by it. It is about a dinosaur named Aladar, his family of monkeys and other dinosaur friends. Meteors fell from the sky and destroyed their home, leaving them looking for a new nesting …
Malevolence (horror movie)
I kept reading some good reviews about the movie “Malevolence” but when I got to watch it I was very disappointed. It is one of those horror movies where the plot only sounds very good on paper. I thought that the rating should have been average at the very least …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
Due Date (movie)
The movie “Due Date” was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t expect that I would enjoy it so much. In the movie, a man played by the actor Robert Downy Jr. drives across the United States along with a struggling actor who got him kicked off a plane so …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
The Matrix Reloaded is the second installment in the Matrix trilogy. To be honest, I do not think I enjoyed it as much as the first one. It seems like some of the excitement died out, or maybe there was just so much fuzz about the start …
Out of Time movie 2003
Out of Time with Denzel Washington is an action packed, non-stop tension kind of movie.
Anything with Denzel in it tends to be good at the least—“ and this is no exception. He plays a police chief who gets himself into the most unbelievable heap of trouble you can imagine, …
Going My Way movie
Going My Way is absolutely wonderful. With Bing Crosby in the lead, you know it’s going to be somewhat laid back, and it is. It’s a subtle work that touches the heart and spurs on our emotions. Crosby is Father O’Malley, and he’s been sent to …
Serpico
Throughout the film “Serpico”, Serpico is confronted with multiple instances of police corruption. Serpico was presented with the challenge of doing what was right and ethical and what the rest of the officers in his division wanted him to. Serpico tries to fix the problem from within, but his …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!
It seems that the on-screen …
Pathfinder
This movie doesn’t boost of big names to begin with. However, those who watched should found the money worthwhile.
The story centres around a norseman child left behind in the new world during a babaric campaign. Raised by the victims (North Indians), the boy grew up into a fine young …
White Noise 2 (PG-13, 2007) movie
First of all, let me say that White Noise, the first one—was total garbage. I really tried to get into it. But when the first images /sounds were displayed, I knew the film was going to be corny. They cast Michael Keaton in the lead. …
Elf Bowling: The Movie
I’m still looking for new Christmas movies to watch this year; mostly because I’m getting tired of the same stories every year. This is why I ended up loading the movie Elf Bowling on our Netflix player yesterday.
I didn’t know what to expect from a movie based on a …
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Mix the acting ability of Martin Lawrence with another great comedy actor Danny DeVito and you get a great comedy that will make you laugh non-stop. What I really enjoyed about “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?” is the two main actors’ ability in bringing out the best possible …
Death Race, science fiction action thriller film
Paul W.S. Anderson’s decision to make a movie based on the 1975 film Death Race 2000 was a strange one. Anderson’s track record isn’t the best one out their, but with the bad advertising this film got you can’t completely blame him. Now that Death Race is on DVD …
Movie The Proposal
Featuring two of my favorite actors, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this movie leaves much to be desired. The story follows a publisher, Margaret Tate who is Bullock’s character to hatch a hare-brained scheme to marry her assistant to renew her visa. Her assistant, Andrew Tate played …
Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …
Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …
Sleepover
At first, I was wondering what this Sleepover DVD movie is all about. But after watching it, I started to join in the ‘fun’ that the characters in the story and this is a very laugh out loud type of movie that will be entertaining for you and your …
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? movie
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? from 1978 is a movie that I really didn’t expect to tolerate, let alone enjoy. I say only because when it started, I could tell that it was British and the opening bit wasn’t my style. I groaned in …

Jumper
For the amount of recognizeable talent in this movie, I made the mistake of thinking that it had to be good and I neglected to check out reviews of it before I spent the $10.50 on a movie ticket to go see it.
The plotline was horrible. It was …
Little Black Book movie
I watched “Little Black Book” because I read the story of the film and thought that it was a good movie, however it ended up not to deliver what was expected. The script could have been improved much more in order to let the actresses, Brittany Murphy and Holly …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …

The Hannah Montana Movie
My daughter loves Hannah Montana (even though she rarely watches the show) so we ended up renting Hannah Montana: The Movie for her. Turns out she barely even sat through the beginning but at least my wife and I ended up loving it.
I actually kind of like the show …
You Only Live Twice, movie
Sean Connery’s James Bond takes a vacation from his usual European hot stops and turns native in this movie set in Japan. It doesn’t have the elements that made movies like “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball” great, but it isn’t a bad entry into the film series.
I’m a fan of James …
Perfect Husband
I am reviewing The Case of the Perfect Husband, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
West Side Story
Who can forget the wonderful musical, West Side Story? No one that I know. This is Romeo and Juliet brought to us on the streets of New York. It’s vibrant and colorful, and yet it’s just as tragic as the Shakespearean love birds previously mentioned.
Natalie Wood …
