Danika (R, 2006)
Marisa Tomei is one of those actresses who pops up in an unexpected film and steals the show. She did so in “Danika”—”a film about a woman who has a tight hold on her children, and is a bit overprotective. This is the way the film is …

Romancing the Stone movie
The very first thing I became aware of when Romancing the Stone began was how difficult it was to focus on what was happening because during this first bit, the theme music to How the West was Won playing. Of course, it does match what is going on, …

I love horror movies like Resident Evil where zombies are created because of viral infection, so I decided to buy Carriers which looks promising in it cover picture full of blood and flu mask, I expect something some gore and serious viral infestation where people will mutate and grow …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …
IMAX: Hubble 3D

Blessed movie

Madagascar movie

Time Traveler’s Wife movie
My daughter and I just watched the Time Traveler’s wife on DVD and we both really enjoyed it. It starts out with Henry (Eric Bana), discovering he is a time traveler at the age of six, right after his mother dies. It was some kind of a getetic thing …
Jaws
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 …

Man Of Steel - 2013 Movie
The fondness of the mass audience for heroes and brave men have been known since antiquity, but few can compare with the potential embedded in Superman, which, like a phoenix, is again back on the big screen, despite the deafening cash failure of its last installment.

It does not happen very often that I cannot sit through a movie; however, that was the case with Sweet Revenge, 1998, also known as The Revengers’ Comedies, starring Sam Neill and Helena Bonham Carter. I couldn’t finish watching it. The plot summary provided on the back of the …

Because I said So

Blast from the Past
Today was the first time in a couple of years that I’ve seen the movie Blast from the Past. And, you know what, it still is kind of a cute film.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …
Movie Idiocracy
One other movie I ended up watching on TV this past weekend was a movie called Idiocracy. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s from the same people who brought us Beavis and Butthead and, while I did watch the show when I was younger, I wasn’t …

Its not to often that a sequel is better than the original movie but I think the Transporter 2 has acheived this. The movie has amazing special effects, exciting action and even a good storyline.
This film is highly enjoyable and looks beautiful its helped by being set in …
Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …

Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights was released in 1997 and while at the time only had few actors with names anyone knew, by now everybody knows John C Riley, William H Macy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg and Burt Reynolds are some of the cast. The movie is about an adult film …

Nora Ephron’s “Julie and Julia” 2009 film
I’m not exactly a big cinematic buff, and tend to prefer reading to watching films. However, Nora Ephron’s much hailed Julie and Julia tempted me with excellent cast, and when a couple of my friends recommended the film to me, I was really hoping to catch it in the …
Heartbeat movie
From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …

See No Evil (R, 2006) movie
Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …
Monster Brawl, movie (2011)

Freakazoid: Season 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Freakazoid to come out on DVD ever since I accidentally taped over a couple of episodes on my home-made VHS set (whoops). Warner Brothers has finally heard the cries of fans and has given us a three-disc set of the first season. The episodes …
Iron Man 2 (2010 Film)
After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …
Ocean’s 13
I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …
Sherlock Holmes (Movie)
I had high expectations when I rented Sherlock Holmes on DVD the other day, mainly because of my high regard for Robert Downey Jr.’s amazing acting skills and his recent choice of movies to star in. I also like Guy Ritchie’s movies, so when we sat down to watch …

A Walk To Remember
When my friends and I talked about the movie A Walk To Remember each time, we would always remember the truly sad ending to this story. I am a hopeless romantic and I find myself knowing what’s going to be the ending to this really sad and romantic movie …
Meet the Robinsons
Lately, when I’ve seen a Disney cartoon, I’ve been very disappointed in it. It seems Disney makes an effort to make a children’s cartoon but, in the interest of attracting an older crowd, always tries to make the cartoon more adult. The end result is nobody really enjoys it.
Meet …
Black Dog
Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …

Village of the Damned
It had been ages since I saw the classic movie Village of the Damned. So, when it came on one of the movie channels over the weekend, I had to sit down and watch it again.
Somehow, it wasn’t as scary as I remembered it.
Even though it’s really never explained …
The Break-Up Movie Rental
The Break-Up should’ve broken up before ever hitting the movies. After renting this movie, I really wanted to ask for my money back. It was not at all like anything that I expected. The ending was absolutely horrible. When I read the cover before renting …
Cry-Baby movie
Last week I watched a movie called Cry-Baby with my girlfriend as she’s found a fascination with Johnny Depp and this is I believe his first major role in a movie. To be very honest, my expectations for this movie were extremely low and I honestly didn’t expect …
