Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age may be an animation, but even adults dig it. The cute graphic, funny plot, witty conversations do not just attract kids but their parents, older brothers and sisters as well.
Yes, the story may be silly, but really, who needs brains when watching animation? We all know …
Me And You And Everyone We Know
Me And You And Everyone We Know is an independent film made in 2005 by writer, director, and performance artist Miranda July.

The Glass Menagerie movie
WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …
Children of Men
To start off with, any movie that has Michael Caine saying, �Pull my finger� at gunpoint can’t be all bad. And Children of Men is not bad, but it sure is depressing. The story of a future Earth, where the last baby born was eighteen years ago, and now …
Fright Night II (1988)
Once again the vampires have resurfaced and they are out for revenge, in this movie, the sister of the head vampire of the original movie has come to claim the lives of Charley and his friends. Prior to that knowledge, Charley has undergone therapy and is now of the …
Movie : Dance of The Dead
Masters of Horror entry Dance of The Dead is actually one of my favorites. When you read some of the reviews on this it gets roughed up pretty bad but I actually felt it had some good characters, an interesting backstory and a horrific conclusion. I think …
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 …
Transformers
This is a really great movie and i gotta be honest i thought that it was going to suck big time, but to my surprise it had some amazing special effects, the story was very linear and the acting and editing was quite good. It had some bits with …
‘Keg on My Coffin’, a song by The Push Stars
The year 2004 was a great year for awesome music. It was also the same year that I become aware of a relatively unknown, independent recording group known as The Push Stars. Their song ‘Keg on the Coffin’ was receiving extensive radio play on Alabama airwaves by indie recording …
Limitless, movie
What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …
Pete’s Dragon
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pete’s Dragon. Pete is a little boy who lives with a terrible family. He’s an orphan. He runs away. He has a friend, though…a big, gigantic, green one. His friend happens to be a dragon named Elliot, and Elliot helps him escape from …
Erin Brokovich
Erin Brokovich is the story of a single mom with 3 kids struggling to make ends meet. The beginning of the movie shows her effort to find a job but in the process she finds that her mediocre skills and lack of education are not what people are …
Bedtime Stories
I have been a fan of Walt Disney. It fascinates me to imagine and dream about fantasy. I grabbed a copy of Bedtime Stories and i eagerly played it on my dvd.
By anticipation we thought, and as the title suggests that its the typical story telling time …
Lost Boys: The Tribe, vampire horror film by P. J. Pesce
It took over twenty years for a sequel to be made for the Lost Boys, one of the best vampire movies of our time. Instead of getting the proper wide theatrical release it deserved this movie was released on every format on video. Does this aspect of the movie …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …
Air Force One movie
I am reviewing the movie, Air Force One, starring Harrison Ford. Air Force one is, of course, the plane that the president uses to fly to places. Harrison Ford plays the President of the United States in this movie. The subject of terrorists is evident in his …
Distant Thunder (1988)
This movie tells the story of a war veteran who has returned from the Vietnam War and is totally unprepared for the day to day activities of regular life. He manages to completely alienate himself from his family and to make matters worse, he moves away to the wilderness …
Xiu Xiu Movie
Merely a fifteen year-old, Xiu Xiu, the “sent-down girl”, grows mentally and emotionally within a short period of 6 months. Through this film, we see a girl’s transition from dutiful soldier to pitiful victim.
Xiu Xiu, in the name of national defence, volunteered to join the army. However, she was …
Kung Fu Panda
I saw ‘Kung Fu Panda’ a few days ago. The first thing that hit me as soon as the movie started was the awesome graphics. This animated movie brings together Jack Black(Po), Dustin Hoffman(master shifu), Angelina Jolie (Tigress), Ian McShane (Tai Lung), Jackie Chan (Monkey), Lucy Liu (Viper), Seth …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
And The Little Dog Laughed - Garrick Theatre
And I laughed too. A lot.
This a surprising, fun, funny, touching play. It is a bitingly satirical look at Hollywood stardom. That makes it sound somehow predictable and dull - but I assure you it is far better than the synopsis.
It stars Rupert Friend as Mitchell, a Hollywood actor …
Stroker Ace
Stroker Ace is a movie that stars Burt Reynolds. Burt plays a champion race car driver that is always embroiled in a competition with the number 10 car Aubrey James. He is always goofing off and wrecking his sponsor’s car which ultimately ends up loosing him his sponsor. Then …
To The Devil, A Daughter (R, 1976)
I rented “To The Devil A Daughter” for two reasons: Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. I have always liked Lee’s presence in films, especially The Wicker Man (the original). He had this air about him that was both seductive and a little creepy. …
Song of the Sea, animated film (2014)
Song of the Sea is an Irish animated film directed by Tomm Moore who previously directed the now famous Oscar nominated “The Secret of Kells”. And he’s got another winner with this film proving once again that he’s quickly becoming a big name in the animation industry.
Like his previous work, …
Unlikely Angel movie
Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …
Les Miserables movie
None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …
Closer (2004)
With an all star cast featuring the talents of Julia Roberts(Anna), Clive Owen(Larry), Jude Law(Dan) and Natalie Portman(Alice) as the main characters. This movie focuses on the relationships of these four individuals, the ups, the downs and everything in between.
Alice comes into contact with Dan at a crosswalk in …
Get Smart Movie
I love Anne Hathaway, and I love Steve Carrell even more. Steve has shown so much potential through the years, his big break from Bruce Almighty made his career soar so much and I truly believe he deserves it. Anne is such a beauty and a professional actress who …
The Little Mermaid
This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …
Spirited Away
I love animation movie. I just saw recommendations on this one and I decided to watch it on sidereel.
It’s an animation movie by Hayao Miyazaki. It is about a little girl named Chihiro, having to move to another city with her parents. On the way of …
Family Guy - Something Something Dark Side
Empire Strikes Back was my least favorite of all the original Star Wars films, so I didn’t know if I would like the Family Guy version of it. Since they stayed pretty true to the first movie, A New Hope, I …
The Lonely Guy Movie
Another addition to my collection of silly movies. Even Steve Martin can’t save it, and that tells you something. But, even such a good comedy actor as him cannot work wonders when the script truly sucks.
The story is about “lonely guys” - single men who for some reason cannot …
You, John Jones!
You, John Jones! is a great little film short with a stellar cast. James Cagney appears as John Jones with Ann Sothern as his wife and Margaret O’Brien as his daughter. O’Brien is just adorable and so passionate and intense as she recites a patriotic piece.
This film …
The Substitute (1996)
Shale is a mercenary who has just returned from a dangerous mission. He comes home to find that his girlfriend was the victim of a vicious attack at the school where she teaches. Shale now takes it upon himself to go under disguise as a substitute teacher to find …
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers movie
A musical for all ages and a definite must have to any movie collector. I first saw this movie in childhood and to this day my family can still hear me using quotes from the film in addition to singing (offkey i might add) the ever popular tunes. Seven …
She’s The Man
Amanda Bynes sizzles in She’s The Man. In this story, she plays Viola, helping her brother to be able to perform in London. His brother loves playing for his band so much and since he is in the soccer team at his school, Viola decides to act as …
Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …
Movie Children of the Corn
While i’ve never read the book written by Steven King, i’ve watched all of the movies during my childhood. i must say that now that i’ve become a Christian, I regret doing this. I have asked Jehovah God for forgiveness billions of times over.
While the movies were very gorey, …
The Glass Bottom Boat
There’s a lot of memorable aspects to The Glass Bottom Boat, most notable of which is its star, Doris Day. Some of the time, she’s a mermaid for her father, who gives a tour of Catalina Island waters with his glass bottom boat, hence the name. Day …
The city in the movies of 3 directors
The 3 Directors:
Bimal Roy - Kabuliwala
Satyajit Ray - Mahanagar
Vittorio De Sica - Bicycle Thieves
Among the three directors Bimal Roy has most positive attitude (in Kabuliwala), where he shows the city like the other two, as some a place where you can get employment, but he is more positive about …
Movie 300
The modern day effect in a classic war epic! Based on the actual historical event of 300 Spartans facing, for sure death, defend there freedom and there land against the will of the older oracles! The characters performance is unreal they all look like body builders and you can …
Step Brothers movie
I received the movie “Stepbrothers” in my mail from blockbuster by mail a few days ago and watched it that day. Overall it was a good movie. My only complaint about it is that I felt like something was missing in it. I also think they showed too many …

Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
Into the Blue,movie
Into the Blue
Sony Pictures
Stars: Jessica Alba and Paul Walker
They need to sink this movie. If you are a guy then the constant butt shots of Jessica Alba are plenteous. This movie had a stupid plot, gave in to the stereotypes about lawyers (greedy sharks), and pretty much had me …
Across the Universe
I’m a huge fan of Beatles music. So, when I heard there was a musical that was based on their songs, I had to watch it. I wasn’t disappointed.
Across the Universe is a great film. It mixes a love story with fantastic song numbers while managing to send a …
School of Rock movie
School of Rock is one the funniest if not the funniest movie I’ve ever watched. Directed by Richard Linklater, it’s the story of Dewey Finn (Jack Black), a down on his luck rock star who gets kicked out of his own band and about to get kicked out of …
