Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
Swordfish movie
Swordfish with Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Halle Berry, and Don Cheadle.
Why are computer hackers so powerful and feared? Well this movie answers this question in an action packed and well written story. The all star cast does an excellent job at turning a …

Dog Day Afternoon Movie
Sidney Lumet is perhaps one of the most underrated american directors in my opinion with great films like 12 Angry Men, Serpico and Long Day’s Journey Into Night on his account. Dog Day Afternoon shows Al Pacino in one of his major roles as a bank robber, and also …

The Man in the Iron Mask
I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …

Laws of Attraction
I must have watched “Laws of Attraction” more than 10 times and I still enjoy watching it and watching it. I like this romantic movie so much because there is great on screen chemistry between the three main actors involved in it Pierce Brosnon, Julianne Moore and …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …
The Number 23 (2007) movie
I saw this more of an experiment to see if Jim Carrey could take on a serious role instead of his usual funny guy characters. I would have to say it was pretty failed in this movie. The concept was good but it just didn’t seem to follow through …
The Phantom of the Opera (2004 version)
There are very few people who don’t know about Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “The Phantom of the Opera”. For all those who didn’t have any chance to watch it on stage, now they have the privilege to watch it at home on DVD. The value added of watching this …
It’s Just a Ride movie
A film about the life of stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows.

Last Samurai Movie
The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …
To the Bone, original Netflix movie
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 …
The Proposal movie
I was looking forward to seeing The Proposal when it came out this week on DVD, mainly because I think Sandra Bullock is a comedic genius. She also produced this film, and in my opinion, she has a knack for making non-cheesy, seriously funny comedies that also work as …

Biloxi Blues
When I got a chance to sit down and watch Biloxi Blues the other day, it was because I remembered it being a funny movie.

Ready to Rumble movie
Back in the 1980s, you could make a movie about Pro Wrestling and people might buy into the storylines. But, with most people today realizing that the matches they see on television and pay-per-view are pre-determined, trying to make a modern movie about the “sport” just doesn’t work.
That’s why …
K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …

The Pacifier
The Pacifier is a pretty funny movie. I thought it was funny seeing Vin Diesel star in a funny movie. We are so used to seeing him in action and violent movies. This was a nice anf funny change for Vin Diesel. I think that the film was OK, it …
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity is one of the best action movies around. I also believe that this movie resurrected Matt Damon’s career. He hadn’t done a good movie in a very long time (Good Will Hunting) and he is absolutely fantastic in this thriller. It differs from …
Spice And Wolf Episode 2 (Anime)
Spice and Wolf Episode 2 begins with Holo and Lawrence travelling and staying at church. There, Lawrence meets a man named Zeelen, who offers them a business deal.
This episode is very good, although it is very dialogue heavy and not a lot happens. Still, the dialogue …
The Killer Inside me, movie
Basing itself on introspective detail as an alternative to normal narrative development, The Killer Inside Me surprises through the honesty awarded to the main character, Lou. He analyzes, meditates, shares thoughts, and divulges bits of his motivation in a rather serene voice that could foreshadow his soon to be …
Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …
Orphan movie
Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …
An Alan Smithee Film-Burn Hollywood Burn
A very complex documentary about the fact that some Hollywood directors use the name Alan Smithee when their film is severly cut down by producers and they don’t consider the film theirs anymore.
The strange thing as that the director of this film, named Arthur Hiller, thought the film was …
The Karate Kid (2010)
I was a huge fan of the Karate Kid released in 1984 so when I first heard of a movie remake I was thrilled to the bone. Upon knowing that Jackie Chan would take the place of the late Mr. Noriyuki “Pat” Morita, the thing that first hit me, …
Crank (movie)
This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …
Hulk movie
“Hulk” is a 2003 movie about the Incredible Hulk, not to be confused with the far superior ‘re-boot’ called “The Incredible Hulk” released in 2008. The “Hulk” stars Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly, as well as Nick Nolte in a ridiculous role as the main villian.
Pros: This …

I Robot
Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.
Based in the future, when robots have become part of everyday life, Smith plays a cop who is convinced the robots will eventually try to take …
Movie The Prince and Me
“The Prince and Me” is the romantic movie that made the actress, Julia Stiles even more popular after her roles in important teen movies like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Save the Last Dance”.
