Going The Distance Movie (2010)
I first thought this was just an ordinary feel-good movie, it features Drew Barrymore and her real-life boyfriend “The Jeepers Creepers Guy” Justin Long; it’s a story about two people meeting and falling in love but Drew here is just actually on a temporary “vacation” as she’s an intern …
Superman Returns:The Movie
Superman has always been my very favorite superhero, and this movie I think is the best rendition of him. It shows him in a light that makes him almost human, but at the same time super-human. It also shows how it all began, and then how he returned (hence …
The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …
Diary of the Dead, 2007 (DVD)
Wow.
There really aren’t words to describe this movie. I had heard not-so-good reviews about this film but knew I had to see it for myself. I wish I had heeded their call.
Diary of the Dead was crap. Plain and simple. I was so …
13 Conversations About One Thing (R, 2002) movie
If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …

The Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Movie)
Percy Jackson and the lightning thief is a movie derived from the book of the same name. I have been a fan of Rick Rodian’s Percy Jackson series ever since I knew of its exsistance and so when I heard the movie was out I was really excited to …

Slither
In this movie story, Slither which I watched on DVD, Michael Rooker and Elizabeth Banks star together with some other casts. Michael plays as Grant while Elizabeth as Starla.

Film Some Kind of Wonderful
Viewed by many as a gender switched redo of John Hughes and Howard Deutch previous collaboration Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful is so much more than this and it is a kind of unfair label.
The stories and characters are much different. Whereas, Pretty in Pink focused on …

Mimic Movie
Mimic is a truly great/bad sci-fi movie. I still remember seeing it for the first time when it was in the theaters and I loved it even then. I know a lot of people have seen the movie and hated because it’s not the greatest, but I actually do …
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Well, I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I did like his Robin Hoods Prince of Thieves movie when it first came out so I figured I would take the time to watch it again yesterday.
It still is one of the better Robin Hood movies I’ve watched but …
Friday the 13th Part 5
I think one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when you have a gorgeous blonde who is trying to hook up with a goofy, balding man. Every time I see the movie, I start laughing. I realize that it is supposed to be a small town, but …

Major Payne
When it comes to comedies, there is one that is often forgotten about but is actually a lot better than people give it credit for; Major Payne.
This is one of Damon Wayan’s best films. He plays a Marine Major who is a killing machine but is forced to leave …

Blood The Last Vampire [DVD]. Animated horror movie
Blood: The Last Vampire offers wonderful animation, grisly action, and an awesome main character, but lacks in overall length and depth of what truly could have been a perfect title. Saya is on the hunt for chiropterans, vampire-like demons that are wreaking havoc on a military base in Japan. …
How To Train Your Dragon Movie (2010) Animated
I have always loved animated movies. I have heard of this movie How to Train Your Dragon and it actually was on IMAX theatres because it was 3D. I did not see it in 3D but it is alright because I am not really keen on watching it like …
Meet the Spartans
Normally, I like movies that spoof other movies; everything from Scary movie to pretty much anything made by Mel Brooks. But, after watching Meet the Spartans last night, I no longer can say I like all movies in that genre.
The thing about Meet the Spartans is it had the …
Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …
