Gravity (science fiction movie)
Gravity is one of those movies that I kept hearing from people that I had to see. I couldn’t really understand why either since I thought that the trailer didn’t really appeal to me much, and I’m not too fond of many of the movies that the actress Sandra Bullock …

30 Days of Night
It was rather disappointing to watch 30 Days of Night on theaters before. I think this movie was a couple of years back and I watched it with my ex boyfriend during that time.
The movie is about vampires or something and the movie effects throughout was rather …

I am reviewing the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This is Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who defy their feuding families in order to be together. Leonard Whiting and Olivia do …
Movie The eye
This was an excellent movie. It started out great and it ended great. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I would recommend anyone to watch it. It wasn’t gory at all so if you don’t like gory movies you don’t have to worry about that. It was …
Some Kind of Wonderful movie
One of the most classic and beloved american high school movies of the 1980s, perhaps not as well known as Fast times at Ridgemont High for example, but Some kind of wonderful is definitely my own personal favorite. In the centre of the story stands a rebellious young man, …
Serenity
Serenity is a film based on a brilliant TV series from a few years back which was cancelled by FOX. A space-western with some east-asian motifs made up the basic rules of the universe.A ship [named “Serenity”] crew of [mostly good natured] criminals [including a preacher and a pair …
17 Again movie
WHen I saw the movie “17 Again” advertising earlier on this year, I had no intention of watching it for several reasons. The main one was because the lead actor was supposed to be the Disney actor Zac Effron who is famous for movies such as High School Musical …

Love & Death on Long Island
Love & Death on Long Island is a very funny DVD movie that I don’t recommend at all. And when I said funny, it is not that feel-good funny types. Instead, it is more like the worst off funny kind that made my stomach churned while watching. …
Cheeni Kum, movie
Finally somebody had the sense to pair two performers we’ve been dying to see together: Amitabh and Tabu.
And debutant director R Balki proves he’s just the man for the job as he marvelously brews the perfect romantic comedy around an acerbic chef and a classy dame.
As …

Idiots & Angels, movie (2008)

Film Pretty Woman (1990)
This movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts came out in 1990. When it first came out my mom did not want me to see it because she worried it made prostitution look attractive to kids. Now that I am an adult I do agree …
Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …
Perry Mason: The Case of the Lethal Lesson movie
This edition of the Perry Mason TV movies introduces the character of Ken Malansky to the show. For the first set of movies, Barbara Hale’s son, William Katt, had played private eye Paul Drake Jr. Katt, however, was given the starring role in a drama, Top of …
Fast and Furious movie
Being one of Paul Walker’s fan, I don’t miss any of his movies. I was excited when this was shown finally. I rushed to Ayala Cinemas here in Cebu, Philippines.
The story according to what I’ve read is an interquel from the second and third movie.
The movie was …
The Day the Earth Stood Still
OK, when I watch a science fiction movie, I expect space aliens to be aggressive and to desire taking over our planet. I don’t want them to come here to be our friends (unless of course that happens in real life).
That’s why the movie The Day the Earth Stood …
Enter The Dragon Classic Marshial Arts Movie Starring Bruce Lee
As time goes by and the inevitable process of growing up takes its course, certain things that I used to love back when I was smaller seem quite stupid now, especially some of the things I enjoyed like movies and television shows. The acting seems really bad, along with …
Young At Heart
I recommend everyone to watch this, Young At Heart. This is something that I would recommend any senior citizen to watch. As we grow old, we become more sensitive and prone to feelings that we might not succumb to should we are young.
This movie is about a group …
The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …
Torn Apart
Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …
Volver movie
I love foreign films. I especially love foreign language films with subtitles. Weird, I know, but I love the feel of them and the sense that you are truly experiencing another culture through film. So, when I started watching Volver I had very high hopes. It’s obvious from the …
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 …
Stepbrothers (Movie)
I really don’t like Will Ferrell, but my sister-in-law and brothers told me this movie was good and funny, and seeing as I didn’t have anything to do anyway on a rainy day, I watched this movie.
The movie is all about 2 grown-up adults who thinks they’re still young …
Last Night film
Director Don McKellar brings us a thought provoking, powerful and at times, humorous vision of the last day on earth.
It’s an unusual take on the apocalypse, opting instead to show the very real human tragedy behind the impending disaster. Some sit alone with their own thoughts, others band together …
Leatherheads
I absolutely hate George Clooney movies. So, when I picked up Leatherheads, I will confess my expectations were a bit low. However, after watching the movie, I do feel my low expectations were justified. It just wasn’t any good.
I liked the concept behind this movie. There are plenty of …
Total Drama Island
When I first saw the cartoon “Total Drama Island” advertising on Cartoon Network, I could only think that it was quite an interesting plot and setting for a cartoon. I had never actually seen a reality show cartoon except for the “Drawn Together” series which aired for some time …
Falling Down movie
Michael Douglas leads an impressive cast in Joel Schumacher’s “Falling Down”, an interesting tale told out over the course of one day, as an average man embarks on a rampage as he tries to simply “get home”.
It’s an interesting idea, and an incredibly simple one, but don’t let …

Exiled (2007)
I find the movie Exiled pretty similar to one particular movie like a gangster wanting to be good type of story. Exiled is something like that, but the difference is that the setting of this movie is in Macau.
Anthony Wong and Francis Ng star and they sort of like …
Cold Souls Movie
Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …
Madhouse
Starring: Joshua Leonard (Clark Stevens), Jordan Ladd (Sara), Lance Henriksen (Dr Franks), Dendrie Taylor (Nurse Hendricks)
It is rather scary when you think that the shadows you see from the corner of your eyes are not real, but a figment of your imagination. Ben London (one of the …

The Tattooist is a horror movie/drama starring Jason Behr. The actor plays an American tattoo artist who spent most of his adult life traveling around the world and giving tattoos. He is actually well known but many people say that he stole another artist’s designs to become famous. In …
The Prestige
The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians. The Illusionist was a love story. The Prestige is a story of rivalry and revenge. The Prestige is decidedly darker, stepping down into the supernatural, …
The Untouchables movie
