Dr. Strangelove (1964 movie)
I decided to watch this black comedy because one of my friends at school simply would not stop talking about it, I mean I’d never seen one of my friends so transfixed on a movie before. However, after seeing it myself I certainly understood his enthusiasm. This movie is …
Constantine
I recently watched the movie Constantine starring Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz, and it was very intense. Constantine(Keanu Reeves) are cursed with a gift of recognising half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human camouflage. After a failed attempt to end his life he is marked as …
Matt’s Million movie
When I began watching this British movie, I thought, “Definitely not Hollywood.” I don’t know how to describe it, but the movie had this simplistic, almost amateur feel. However, very soon I stopped noticing it.
The story itself is not very original: a teenage boy unexpectedly becomes a millionaire. I …
Men in Black 3 (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was “Men in Black 3”, starring the first movie’s original actors, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I have to admit that before I saw it, I was somewhat eager to watch the movie being that the plot sounded very …
Munich movie
I definitly had to watch this movie because, apart from being a Stefen Spielberg movie, it was filmed mostly in my native country, Malta. I was particulary impressed by the focus point of the story. This is not a movie about terrorism, but it is a movie about the …
Happenstance (R, 2000) movie
When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …
Movie Secrets of the summer house
I watched this on Lifetime Movie Network a few weeks ago. I was surprised at how good it was. I didn’t expect for it to be that good but it was. I kept seeing it previewed on lifetime so I finally watched it one day when I caught it …
James Bond Casino Royale Movie
The movie James Bond Casino Royale is the best Bond movie I have seen. The action is amazing, but it also has an engaging, exciting plot. The action is shot and acted in a way that you really feel scared for the characters. It is never …
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) movie
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is the sequel to there first adventure when they went on the eternal search for white castle. This is just another one of your classic stoner comedies. Its just purely dumb but always entertaining.
In this adventure they are trying to make …
Push (2009 Film)
The 2009 film starring Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle and Chris Evans called, “Push” is a film I thought I would really not enjoy. It seemed like so many other action movies out there, where the characters dodge bullets in slow motion and everyone looks like the world on the …
Kit Kittredge - American Girl Movie
I recently took my daughter to a preview of the Kit Kittredge Movie. It was the package deal offered by American Girl in Manhattan. For $44, we saw the movie and had dinner at the American Girl Cafe. Also included were, a tee shirt for my …
Just Friends
Another movie that I just watched recently along with Mall Cop with Kevin James was the movie ‘Just Friends’ starring Ryan Reynolds, who plays a chubby teenager with braces and a desperate crush on his best friend who he has known since the sixth grade. Humiliated beyond repair at a …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell.
This is one funny movie. If it were a 40 year old woman virgin, it would definitely not be that funny; but putting a normal looking man into this predicament is full of hilarious opportunities.
…
The Twelve Chairs movie
A poor russian nobleman is trying to find certain chairs that have jewels sewed inside them. The problem is that he’s not the only one who knows about this fact and willing to struggle his way to get ahold of the jewels.
A screwball comedy by Mel Brooks, and if …
Charlie Wilson’s War, biographical drama film by Mike Nichols
Something about Charlie Wilson’s War doesn’t feel right. The film tells the true story about Charlie Wilson and how he single handedly took down the Soviets. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after watching this movie and I don’t know why I feel this way …
Point Break
The best way to describe “Point Break” is two great young acting talents, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze team up in a movie in opposite roles with a lot of action, nail beating moments and great scenography. Apart from having a great story, the interesting aspect about this movie …
Project X (movie)
“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …

But he was acquainted with the candidates, such as carrier pigeon Bugsy, Gutsy, and Tailfeather. Valiant had …
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. …
Paper Man Movie (2009)
I wouldn’t have heard of a movie like this normally, but I just finished watching the movie Buried with Ryan Reynolds where I was so impressed with the actor that I have decided to watch a few more of his movie. So I looked up in IMDB for some …
Baby Mama (2008)
Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …
Movie Red Eye
Red Eye is a very engaging thriller with a very gripping plot and equally gripping screen play. The movie stars Rachel Mcadams and Cillian Murphy in the main roles. Rachel McAdams does a very fine job and her performance needs special appreciation. The performance of Cillian Murphy, who plays …
Friday the 13th Boxed Set
When I heard that they were releasing a boxed set of the Friday the 13th movies, I felt a little thrill of excitement. These are the movies I grew up watching, and while Nightmare on Elm Street got its own treatment years ago, Friday the 13th was still bringing …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …
Coyote Ugly
I love the sexiness of the leading ladies in the movie, Coyote Ugly. Each time I catches it on DVD I would be like admiring their killer bods and how these women manage to maintain their bodies and wearing hipster and all that and getting away with it.
The storyline …
“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
Shortbus (movie)
One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …
Wedding Daze (2004)
When I came across the movie Wedding Daze on television, I thought it was the comedy starring Jason Biggs. Instead, it was a Hallmark Original movie that, for a comedy, was actually very dumb.
It’s really disappointing that an actor like John Laroquette, who made his mark as a womanizer …
Dirty Dancing
I watched this movie a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I felt like it was a very interesting and entertaining movie to watch. I think it probably one of the few movies that almost everyone has seen and liked it. I know I have …
Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …
The Running Man (1987 film)
I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

A Bring It On DVD
The new Bring It On movie is now All or Nothing because it came to DVD without the theartres part. The DVD came out on August 8 2006 as a new movie to those cheerleader fans. You already know the plot of the movie, so what about the special …
Princess Jellyfish Anime Series

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets( the movie)
