I thought the Kick Ass was just an ordinary comedy action movie. It stars a new kid named Aaron Johnson (Dave Lizerwski) as a high school student who wanted to be a super hero. He is a kid with a high motivation in becoming a superhero to make a …

I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …

Axe is one of the most confusing horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time. It’s better known as Lisa, Lisa and many people know it because the lead actress had several urban legends surrounding her and what happened to her after filming of the movie finished. Lisa …

Annie has just graduated from college with a degree in business, but her first job interview at a bank turns out to be a disaster. Perhaps it is because business is not really her thing, Annie actually dreams to be an anthropologist � an idea her mother scoffs at. …

Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …

The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …

Everyone has a handful of favorite movies that they can just watch over and over again. Well, this happens to be one of mine.
Sweet Home Alabama, with Patrick Dempsey, Josh Lucas, and Reese Witherspoon, is just one of those movies that makes you feel good. Melanie Carmichael (Reese …

I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …

King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …

Batman was Tim Burton’s breakthrough to a major audience, and captures the darkness and gothic aspects of the comic series in a remarkable visual way. Michael Keaton is solid as the hero but the great acting performance is done by Jack Nicholson as the villain The Joker. The role …

I was able to see this movie right after I saw The Little Mermaid. Back at that time we were still watching with Beta max and not VHS. As a kid my brother and I watched it together and since we love cartoon movies and shows we enjoyed it …

The Bourne Legacy is actually a huge disappointment. I delayed watching it because I was reading the book. After reading the book by Eric Van Lustbader, the actual movie was a complete disappointment. As a matter of fact, the movie is still a disappointment even without reading the actual …

I went to see the movie “Casino Royale” two days ago. I had heard that it had received good reviews, but I didn’t expect too much, based on previous James Bond movies. I was pleasantly surprised! The plot had been thoroughly modernized, but had plenty of …

Norwegian Wood is the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s novel of the same title, directed by Tran Anh Hung and shot in various locations in Japan. It was, I recall, an article about the author in the nytimes —“ a teaser before the release date of …

Dennis the Menace, a remake of a 1959 movie and a remake of a TV and comic strip series. This is what I am talking about, this kid gets himself into realistic trouble and he uses his smarts to work his way from his captor and deals a dose …

I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …

You always hear people discussing cinematography in various films and movies, but in the movie I finally saw last night, —˜Earth,’ the cinematography is magnificent and clearly on a different level than most documentaries I have seen. The movie is made up of several —˜stories’ of animals in their …

Brian De Palma is a filmmaker I used to be big fan of. When I first saw his incredibly powerful films from the 1980s, like Scarface and The Untouchables, he become one of my favorites, but unfortunately he proved to be a very uneven director who got worse with …

Last week we went and saw the Orphanage, which is currently nominated for foreign film awards. It was in Spanish, however after sitting there awhile you didn’t even need the subtitles to follow the story line.
The film started showing an old orphanage in Spain, there were a …

I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …

After the trilogy series, Karate Kid from 1984-1989, The Next Karate Kid (1994) takes on a different path, using a female protagonist, who went out to an adventurous story of a stubborn-turned-docile young adult.

I really love this movie. Its a fresh role for Vin Diesel, I love how much he acted on this movie. I really love the comedy with all the military discipline he was trying to rule over the children. I really like it so much since its really very …

Along with my love of hair care products also comes a love of movies and books. This review will be about a movie that most people have probably seen a dozen times: Toy Story.
Centered around a group of toys who go through the struggles of being replaced, thrown out, …

Hairspray is a warm fuzzy type of movie. The musical style gives it a lot of fun complete with dancing. On top of that there is a great story and a very happy ending. It is a movie that has it all. John Travolta plays the heavyset mom, which …

While I never saw the original movie of Nightmare on Elm Street, I have to say that the remake was for the most part enjoyable in the realm of horror movies. This film also made me want to watch the original film so that I would have something to …

I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.
The movie, which in my opinion is pretty much a rip off of the film Tremors, was …

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I immediately perked up in my seat and I knew I just had to watch this as all my favorite actors were here! It’s directed by Sylvester Stallone and it’s starring him, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, …

The Long Weekend is an underrated movie that not many people would know about. I’m not sure when the movie was set, but there are just lots of DVDs lying around my home, brought my siblings or my parents, rented, bought; you name it, there are just a whole …

Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …

I went to see this film because it looked interesting, I thought it was interesting they would take shots at W eaven before his term had ended. The movie chronicles George W Bush’s life, growing up and eventually becoming president, it is one of those movies where you aren’t …

This 1999 BBC movie is an excellent adaptation of “David Copperfield,” a novel that Charles Dickens referred to as his “favorite child” amongst his other works.
Packed with unforgettable Dickensian characters, this film tells the story of David, a boy born shortly after his father’s death. His mother Clara (Emilia …

I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …

This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …

Jaws is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. And Jaws is also the reason I’m scared to go in the water when I’m at the beach. This movie can really scare people and really make you feel uncomfortable. I really did enjoy the music in jaws. The …

Ratatouille is a great movie for the whole family. It kept me and my sister who is 7 years old interested throughout the whole movie. The only thing that I would say is that the movie drag out a little bit, they could have made it shorter. It was …

This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …

The Bumblebee action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is really cool. It retails for anywhere from $10.00 to $12.00 and can be found at many retailers, including Walmart, Kmart, and ToysRUs. Bumblebee is about 6 inches tall in robot mode and is a …

I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …

This movie starts off simple enough with a newly married couple finding their way in the world, firstly by moving to a newer, warmer city, finding jobs and then finding a place to call home. Everything was going well, that was until talks of a baby came up and …

The Happening (2008)
Director: M. Night Shyamalan. Featuring: Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel.
I do not remember the last time I have been so disappointed by a movie. Although the trailer had revealed the story right away, there was still some kind of sense of mystery or intrigue that made me …

Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …

While my daughter loved the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein, I don’t think she was a huge fan of the film Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman..
Of course, part of the problem could have been the fact the rented DVD was a bit scratched up and …

Yesterday I watched American Psycho, which was filmed in the year 2000. It is a very good movie and it is based on a book by Bret Easton Ellis. It takes place in 80’s in New York. The main character is Patrick Bateman, who is played by Christian Bale. …

As far as advertisements go, I am perhaps the most skeptical. You would not believe my surprise at Blockbusters attempt at online rentals.
I actually love it.
I was already a longtime member of the video store chain. I tried the online rentals because it was a good way …

I watched this The Real Beckhams DVD the other night and here is what I have to say about this. I am truly surprised that this DVD is that good. No kidding. You guys should watch it, I highly recommend it to you guys.
This is also extremely …

I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
