On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.
Kevin Costner plays a father who is confused over his daughter’s weird behavior and makes every stupid mistake that can be made in a horror film to be sure that everything …

I went to see Babel not knowing anything about it more than it took place in Morocco and it was “kind of like the movie Crash”. Pretty quickly you can see how the movie is like “Crash” in that there are 4 storylines, seemingly unrelated, that you know somehow …

This was a very slow movie that I did not enjoy. The film is about a crew of asbestos removal men who are hired to clean up an old insane asylum that was shut down around 15 years before. My major complaints about this film are that …

Over the Hedge is more then just an animated movie about a Hedgehog. Even though it’s rated PG, I think that it is one of those movies with the type of humor in it that virtually any adult can relate to and enjoy! Some of the humor …

I’m a huge SyFy junkie, so when I watched this movie a while back, The Many Deaths of Ian Stone, I was mystified and captivated. Of course, it’s a made-for-tv movie, so the special effects leave a lot to be desired, but as far as these movies go, it’s …

Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …

Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …

I’ve seen plenty of Al Pacino films but Scent of a Woman is easily my favorite.
Even though I originally thought this was going to be a comedy, I was pleasantly surprised with the drama. Pacino plays a blind retired soldier (who we learn became blind because he screwed up) …

One of Michael Powell’s earliest successes which a co-directed with a number of different people, but it was before the famous co-operation with Emeric Pressburger. The story is about a young beggar in Bagdad who finds a magic lamp which enables him to make three wishes. This story is …

Adam Sandler has attempted to do dramas in the past and has failed miserably. Ironically, the best drama he has is one that was supposed to have been a comedy; Bulletproof.
The thing I like about Bulletproof is, even though you do have some funny moments in it, the movie …

Compared to the thousands of other Disney films that have come out since, Cinderella is far from the best animated film ever made. However, it’s still a real treat to watch whenever you have a family movie night.
Of the dozens of re-tellings of the Cinderella story, Disney’s version is …

The sequel to the first movie and a continuing saga, this movie tells the story of the continued struggle of co-existence between humans and mutant kind. Similar to the happenings of the comic book and the TV series, this movie jumps from scene to scene in an attempt to …

Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …

Mr. and Mrs. Larkin live happily on a farm with their seven children. They are a charming, generous couple that loves people and welcomes new friends in their lives. Mr. Larkin does not like paying taxes, and the series begins with a man from the tax office coming to …

One of the movies that I watched last month was “127 Hours”. Like many of the other movies that watched recently, I only heard about it after reading about it on a popular movie blog that I’ve been visiting since the beginning of this year.
The movie, starring …

This was definately a movie that I remember. I really enjoyed watching the whole movie. The whole thing was entertaining and exciting to watch. The two main characters were very good together in the movie and I really enjoyed watching each other act in the movie. It’s a great …

I realise I’m more than a little late, but I only recently heard the story about the legenday American Sniper Chris Kyle, and the movie that was made based on the book he wrote “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History”. was encouraged …

The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …

I watched the DVD movie, The Number 23 before and this story is from the Director Joel Schumacher.
There are lots of mixed feelings and reviews about this movie from my friends and all but I would still go for a positive rating. The main actor in this …

I didn’t remember that this movie existed until recently when I found an old DVD of it at my cousin’s house and decided to watch it again so maybe I could write a review on it. It came out in my earlier years in high school which was about …

Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …

First of all let me tell you a bit about the movie for anyone who has not seen it. Mary Poppins is set in London around 1910. It is a fantastic musical family film. The film is about a family in London who require a nanny for …

I love the movies that give you something to think about. Sometimes I watch the movies that might disgust me or make me cry, but those movies cause more emotions than any horror movie, watched alone in the darkness. “To the bone” is one of those movies that give you …

Citizen Kane- the first produced film of Orson Welles, and one that is often considered the greatest film ever made. I am a major B-film and classic film enthusiast and the idea of seeing “the greatest film ever made” sparked my interest. After indulging myself in two hours of …

A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …

It took me a very long time to actually sit down and watch the movie America’s Sweethearts since I’ve never been a big fan of the actress Julia ROberts because I’m so used to seeing her in romance movies, and frankly, she has never held my attention. Thus, …

I watch ‘Because I said so’ with my mom, which was nice since I realized that my mom wasn’t that bad comparing to the people out there. The movie is about a mom and her three daughters’ and how the first two is happily married while the last one …

I’ve just had a chance to watch Thor: The Dark World in 3D and I thought I would share some of the things I liked or disliked about this movie. I am a fan of all comic related movies and after seeing the first Thor movie, I had some …

There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …

Sick, twisted, morbid and demented are the terms to toss at this remake of the same name. Willard, played by Cripsin Glover is the man character, one who is abused by almost every one around him, including his mother, his boss and even a rat named Ben. After losing …

We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …

I am not very fond of Filipino or local movies ( I live in the Philippines and local movies are called “Tagalog Movies”) but then I have to say that I did enjoy watching one particular movie that I would also like to introduce to the readers of Reviewstream. …

Let’s be honest, you can count great UK youth flicks on one hand. So Olly Murs hats off, then, to The Inbetweeners Movie, an upgrade for the E4 teen comedy that matches the gag rate of any film this summer and delivers it with the panache of the Yanks but …

I am reviewing The Dying Detective, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced by Granada television in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes in battle with another extremely intelligent man: a doctor. He is a specialist in a certain …

“Peter Pan” is the classic 1950s Disney animated movie about the boy who never grew up and his adventures in Never Land. As a child, I loved this movie. However, I recently watched it with my daughter and so I viewed through the eyes of an adult …

Meet the Parents was a classic. Meet the Fockers did not enjoy as much critical success as the original, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the film to complete the trilogy is as stale and pointless as any of the other third movies you can remember.
Greg and …

Deep Impact is a powerful movie from 1998 about a meteor that is threatening Earth. It’s intense, emotional, and thrilling. Directed by Mimi Leder, the FX is still a bit rough in the visuals, but the acting is top notch. Tea Leoni, Vanessa Redgrave, Elijah Wood, …

Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …

A movie that I can remember impacted the way I felt about life for years was called “Pay it Forward”. I’m not exactly sure when it was released, but I remember that the first time I watched it was when I was in high school and I had seen …

WHAT IS IT ABOUT:
As Frodo and Sam draw ever closer to Mount Doom, the rest of the …

This movie is perfect for kids because it’s in 3D and it features dragons of all sizes and shapes, it also shows how to “train” and “educate” your dragon, be it as dangerous as they are in real life but this is cartoons, so the kids loved watching it. …

If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …

I thought Bubble Boy was a very funny and cool movie. It was very funny yet sad at the same time. I thought the boy who played Bubble Boy did a great job of acting. Everyone else also did a pretty good job of acting in the movie as well. …

Movie adaptation has been too prevalent nowadays. The film “I Am Number Four” is based from the novel of the same title by Pittacus Lore. The movie stars Alex Pettyfer as Number Four and Diana Agron of Glee as Pettyfer’s love interest in the film. The movie is directed …

Even though it hasn’t gotten a very good rating, the movie “Weird Science” is one of those teenage coming of age comedies that I think a lot of people consider as a classic somewhat. I personally never really liked it because it was exceptional, but I liked it because …

For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
