Movies Reviews
Rocky II
Rocky II is the rematch between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. The movie begins by showing the ending of the first movie. This is done throughout the Rocky movies (the first five) and was a great idea to do.
Shortly after the movie starts, Rocky and …

Carrie Bradshaw is the fictional character of popular television series, Sex and the City. The series itself is based on a bestseller book written by Candace Bushnell. Since the success of the series, many girls in the world become the big fan of Carrie Bradshaw, including me, though she …
Insidious (movie)
“Insidious” is one of those movies that I’ve found myself beginning several times, but never actually settling down to watch it. Most of the times I shied away from it because of the bad reviews quite a few viewers had given it, calling it a waste of time and …
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (action spy-thriller movie)
I’m not usually one of those people who run to see every Mission Impossible movie that is released. However, when I saw the trailer for this one and saw the amount of stunts and action in it, I thought that this was definitely something that I could not miss. After …
Waterworld (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a couple years ago was “Waterworld.” I didn’t actually see it back in the mid nineteen nineties when it was released, but instead in the early 2000s a little after I had seen the first Lord of the Rings movie. By this …
Catch Me If You Can, 2002
This movie is based on a true story of Frank Abagnale, a teenage con artist who successfully impersonated an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, as well as cashed over $2.5 million worth of forged checks - all that before reaching his 19th birthday. Frank, played very convincingly …
Watching the Detectives Movie
This movie is weird and crazy. I personally think it’s funny in a way that I can’t believe Cillian Murphy did and accepted this role, and funny that someone would even think of Lucy Liu’s character here to be that crazy! The director must be crazy too to even …
Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
Borderland
Borderland is one of the most convoluted horror movies that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of horror movies over the years. I bought the movie because it was part of the After Dark Horror Fest and I loved most of the movies that they released in …
The Patriot (movie)
Just week we heard the sad news that Heath Ledger passed away, it reminded me of one of the movies that he had starred in with Mel Gibson called the Patriot.
We pulled the Patriot out of our collection and re-watched it last night. The story is set …
Rock Star movie
To put everything in one sentence the movie “Rock Star” is all out rock and seeing the actor, Mark Wahlberg with long hair, lipstick and mascara. In my opinion, this is definitly not the best film for him, especially when considering that at the time he already did “The …
Epic Movie
It’s been since last night since I watched Epic Movie and I’m still a bit torn about whether I liked the movie or not. Well, maybe I should rephrase that, I did like it, I’m just not sure if I should have been disappointed in it.
Epic Movie was an …

Documentary: Battles Poison Cloud
I recently watched a documentary called Battle’s Poison Cloud. It was a powerful documentary but different than I had expected. The documentary is about Vietnam and the use of agent orange a powerful chemical. This chemical, also called dioxin, was sprayed along with other chemicals during …
Music and Lyrics Movie
I have always liked Hugh Grant’s self deprecating, “am I sure this is where I should be?” persona that he brings to the characters he plays. That is not to say that he is a character actor, he seems to play the same person in every film, but …
Bring It On
I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …
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 …
Rambo, First Blood
They attempted a couple of sequels for the movie Rambo, First Blood, but they have never managed to copy what became a classic film and one I absolutely love.
The great thing about this movie, which features a Vietnam War Veteran who holds a town hostage after a run in …
Flight of the Undead
Flight of the Undead is a straight to DVD release starring several actors who have made a career out of these type of movies. It capitalized on the fame of Snakes on a Plane by using a similar storyline, only involving zombies instead of killer snakes. The scientist at …
Movie Autopsy (UR, 2008)
I won’t say that I tried to like this movie, because I could tell right away that it would be one of those films that tries to be campy. The movie, which centers on this one chick (who can remember their names) who is looking for her …

I am reviewing the movie, End of Days, starring Arnold, Gabriel Bryne, and Kevin Pollack. So there is this prophecy out there about the devil and this child. This child will wear a marking. She is to be the one that helps the devil return to earth …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an attracting and unique movie with a brilliant idea to combine cartoon and real world. It is not a movie about Bugs Bunny and Brendan Fraser while they act in the same scene (Looney Tunes:Back in Action) but about a hole where every cartoon who enters …
The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power, Movie
I missed the second Scorpion King movie and I have no idea how I came to watch the third - but suffice to say I didn’t go into this film with my expectations held high. The only reason I decided to give this a go was because I’d seen that …
Movie: Triassic Attack

Catch Me If You Can
“Catch Me If You Can” is a by product of a mixture of Tom Hanks and Leonardo diCaprio talents together with the great talents of the director Steven Spielberg. I must admit that I really had high expectations about this movie. After watching it, I must say that “Catch …

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
I have always dreamed of going to Spain and when i learned that the factual back-drop of Vicky Cristina Barcelona was Barcelona and Oviedo, i watched it sans hesitation.
The movie started with the two characters Vicky (Regina Hall) and Cristina ( Scarlet Johansson), two young americans who decide …
Mirrors
Mirrors looked like scary and it is actually, in certain areas of the movie story. I watched it alone actually and Kiefer Sutherland played the lead. This movie is actually a remake of a Korean movie actually, having the title Mirrors too.
What is the story about actually..? …
Hansel & Gretel
I wanted a movie my entire family could watch last night and ended up loading Hansel & Gretel on my Netflix player.
While definitely not a kids movie (and a bit scary at times for younger children), this turned out to be a movie everyone in my house enjoyed.
The movie …
Autumn movie 2009
rented Autumn on a whim, thinking because there was a small role for David Carradine it might have some value. If this was his last movie, I truly feel sorry for him and his legacy. It started out with the extremely overdone and predictable premise of …
The Dark Knight
If you enjoy action and Batman movies, I suggest you watch this movie. Or if you liked Batman Begins… Or whatever the movie before it was… Btw, GREAT JOB CHRISTIAN BALE!
The Main Cast:
Christian Bale: Bruce Wayne/BatMan
Heath Ledger: The Joker
Aaron Eckhart: Harvey Dent/Two Face
Michael Caine: Alfred
Maggie Gyllenhaal: Rachel Dawes
Gary Oldman: …
Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …
Children of men
When I first saw the description for Children of Men, I thought it was definitely a unique concept; a man is trying to help the first pregnant woman on the planet in more than 18 years. But, after watching the movie, I have to say the execution wasn’t the …
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (comedy science fiction movie)
Honestly, I wasn’t very interested in seeing a “Hot Tub Time Machine” sequel almost as much as I wasn’t interested in seeing a Paul Blart Mall Cop sequel. However, a friend of mine claimed that he found it very entertaining and funny. I guess that would be the last time …
Dead Like Me - Life After Death Movie

2010 Movie
This movie was anticipated by all, and at first I honestly wasn’t excited about all the hype as movies are all talk nowadays until you actually get to see them on the big screen. This movie ran at 158 minutes and when I was watching it I didn’t feel …

Insidious Movie
This movie is exactly what the name suggests — Insidious. If you find yourself sorting through new movies and find nothing that deserves any consideration, I would encourage you to give Insidious another look. If you are looking for a star studded cast, Shymalan-esque plot twists, or …
Oh Heavenly Dog movie
Oh Heavenly Dog is a charming movie that is surprisingly funny. Chevy Chase stars as a private investigator who gets murdered in the middle of a case. However, as far as Heaven goes, he’s not guaranteed entry. He has to go back to Earth to solve …

Sweet Revenge, 1998 movie
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 …
The Ugly Truth movie
I really enjoyed watching this movie. This was another pick from the RedBox dvd kiosk. I will however purchase this to have in my movie collection. This movie is a great romantic comedy dealing with issues such as relationships, what men and women look for when dating, etc. There …
