Movie Chaos
“Chaos” can be best described as a gripping thriller where one has no hint how the story is going to end. Full of interesting twists and action, this movie is worth watching not only once but even twice.
I believe that the best assets of the movie “Chaos” are the …
Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …
Omar (drama movie)
I had my doubts about watching the movie Omar even though it was recommended to me. I didn’t know much about it except that it was set somewhere in the Middle East, and I was truly tired of watching depressing films and news of people struggling to be themselves and …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I know at my age it would sound ridiculous but I really like this movie. I wanted to believe even just for two hours that I could go to a place like this. Where in I could walk around both indoor and outdoor and all I can …
The Money Pit
This 1986 Tom Hanks flick is a light comedy about the trials of a young couple who goes into debt to buy a huge house, only to discover that the house is falling apart and needs to be practically re-built. When they first see the house, Walter and Anna …
The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
The Lake House movie
The Lake house is a movie starring Sandra Bullok and Keanu Reeves. This was an enjoyable fim a bit farfethced but enjoyable all the same.
It seems that Keanu Reeves lived in the house on the Lake, and through some mysterious way he starts to receive mail from …
The Santa Clause (1994 film)
One Christmas movie that I have really enjoyed ever since I first watched it was the 1994 film The Santa Clause. There was so much magic in this film and gave viewers a first glance look at the North Pole, which is of course every child’s dream, and the …
Ella Enchanted (movie)
Ella Enchanted is a ferry tale type of movie with some similarities to Cinderella. It reminds us that there is good and bad everywhere. That we have to find our inner power to solve some of the most difficult problems that we will face in our lives. That each …
Dragon Wars DVD
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 …
Happy Feet Movie
We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …
Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
The Interview - (2014) Movie
I’m sure everyone has heard of the movie, ‘The Interview’ starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. I’ve seen the movie name in the news many times in the past few months because of North Korea’s displeasure with the movie revolving around the assassination of Kim Jong Un and more …
The Rocketeer
When I was a teenager, i remember seeing the Rocketeer movie advertized. Though I wasn’t into that sort of stuff then, I was more busy trying to rebel from my parents and anything that resembled childhood, I was nonetheless intrigued about this film and wanted to see it. Though …

Va Savoir
Va Savoir is a foreign film that I have watched before since one of my friend works at the cinema. 2 of them actually, one female and one male, and either one always gets me to watch amazing movies that are sometimes not released as yet which is great.
Therefore, …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …

Child’s Play 2
Child’s Play 2 is the second in the series of Child’s Play movies featuring the demonic killer doll “Chucky”. I remember watching it a little after I had watched the first “Child’s Play” movie and being as impressed as I was by the prequel. At the time I hid …
Tron Legacy movie
Tron Legacy is probably the best 3D movie I have ever seen. The graphics and the images were just awesome in this movie. But even in regular HD this movie truly does rock. If you are watching it on a home system I recommend watching it with huge speakers. You’re …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (fantasy drama movie)
Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors. Also movies such as those in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit franchise are some of my favourites. Therefore it was definitely a given that I had to watch the last installment in the Hobbit movies, “The Hobbit: The Battle …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …
Meshes of the Afternoon moive
Perhaps the most important of all experimental films ever made. This was directed by Maya Deren and is and shows one event taking place repeatedly, but each time there is a difference in the way it occurs, only a minor one barely noticable. No matter what you think about …
Movie You, Me and Dupree
“You, Me and Dupree” is a great hilarious movie. This movie proved to be important also for the actors, Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson because it is on this set of this movie that they meet each other and later on fall in love. Other actors in this flick …
Redbelt movie
I watched this movie recently on one of the movie channels. Overall it was a pretty good movie. Honestly I felt like it is a movie that has good things and bad things in it. One of the good things about this movie is it is a unique movie. …
All Around the Town movie
Mary Higgens Clark’s All Around the Town is a suspense thriller about a murder of a college professor and the trail that leads to two sisters. There’s a secret to be unearthed, and that secret is a dastardly one.
The cast includes Nastassja Kinski, Michael Shanks, Andrea Roth, and …
Darkness Falls
There are very few “horror” movies on the market that truly scare me. Darkness Falls is a movie that makes me want to sleep with my lights on.
Set in a town that once wrongfully executed a disfigured woman called “the tooth fairy.” The characters in the film must deal …
Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
The Bridges of Madison County
The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I felt mislead by the tough guy of all times, Clint Eastwood. How could he betray me by acting out a love story with …
Movie: Blessed
My wife and I were trying to get our youngest to sleep Saturday night and, after finding nothing on TV, decided to watch a movie we had recorded on the DVR a few months ago; Blessed.
This movie was supposed to be a horror film about a woman who is …
Film The Sure Thing
There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …
Mononoke (anime)
Holy! mother of god! I’m so addicted to this.
If you want a unique kind of art, storyline and not the typical anime character better watch this one.
Its so nice to watch a different kind of anime especially with its graphic art, if I’m not mistaken its called nouveau art. …
Winter’s Bone Movie
Winter’s Bone is the kind of movie that drags you down for hours after you finish watching it. Nothing particularly gory or traumatizing happens, however this slow, heavy clunker pulls you down like a boulder. I cannot figure out for the life of me why or how this film …
Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …

Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Ok my good people, I guess we asked for it and it was given to us as promised, this is where Hollywood meets police meets Hollywood get it? Me neither, but in essence, this movie is about two police detectives who are not getting enough payment from their regular …
Fantastic Four (2015)-Movie
The first Fantastic Four was released in 2005, and it was successful. Surprisingly, after 10 years, creators decided to reboot the series. May be because its in fashion these days, sequels, prequels, remakes everything is rocking the box office. Biggest example is Jurassic World which holds the record of biggest …
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
These days, many small budget movies with lesser-known actors are becoming big news at the mainstream award shows like the Oscars and the SAG, not just the film festivals. “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is one film that actually slipped under the radar and, in my opinion, should …
Movie Summer Magic
Summer Magic is a terrific family film with the delightful Hayley Mills in the lead role. She’s on the edge of adulthood here, playing a 16-year-old named Nancy Carey. Her mother and brother have rented the yellow house which belongs to some wealthy man who doesn’t actually …
She’s Out of My League Movie
I finally watched She’s Out of My League last night. I’ve seen the movie trailer and behind the scenes stuff at HBO a couple of months ago and I liked it. It’s one of the romantic comedy movies that you see, have a few laughs and then totally …
In Too Deep (1999)
This movie is about a drug lord who is so in control of his area and surround areas that they refer to him as ‘god’. Without any hard information on him, the authorities cannot touch him and that makes him what they call ‘untouchable’. But they are not going …

The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I have always been a fan of the television show Mr. Bean. I enjoyed the first Mr.Bean movie and I must say Mr. Bean’s Holiday is far better and funnier than the first one! Mr. Bean is played by the British actor, Rowan Atkinson. His adventure began when Mr. …

Wimbledon (2004)
This movie is about tennis in all its glory. Nothing more, nothing less. They try to toss in a love story in it but that was dashed asunder on the rocks below as this movie failed to even grasp and hold you until the very end of the movie. …
