Hulk Movie (with Edward Norton)
After the bomb that was the last Hulk movie, the new one gave me a nice sigh of relief. I was skeptical about it at first, but I’ve never seen a film with Edward Norton that I did not like, so I decided to check it out.
Unlike its predecessor, …
King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …
Bug (2007)
This movie is one of the nastiest, creepiest movies that you are ever going to see, when I first saw this movie, and how it all got off to a slow and easy going start by introducing the characters and how they got to know each other, it was …

Cruel Intentions
The movie “Cruel Intentions” was very much well received because it represent a new way of making movies addressed to the young generation. It includes a great cast of young rising stars involved in a movie which has the right mix between drama and romance.
On a more personal level, …
Hancock
I saw this movie last week. Hancock is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is dominated by brooding, serious superheroes with little or no sense of humour. It features Will smith, Charlize theron and Jason Bateman. The story is about John Hancock (Will smith), a reckless …

Casino Royale (2006)
I’m only a moderate fan of James Bond movies, so perhaps you should take my review with a grain of salt. Still, I like most adventure movies, and love movies in general, so I decided to check out the newest James Bond.
Man, was I confused! I mean, I like …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …
Erin Brockovich DVD
Erin Brockovich is based on the life story of the woman who brought one of the largest class action lawsuits in history again the California utilities companies. More than a courtroom drama though, this film is about an unemployed single mother of three children living on the brink of …
Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
Side Effects (movie)
Side Effects was one of those movies that I didn’t watch because of how if was apparently received by quite a number of people. It didn’t even get a great rating on it’s IMDB page and so I just left it or ignored it till I eventually forgot about it. …

Barn Yard
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I just did not know what to expect from Otis and the hill surfing to the motorcycle ride back to the farm. I think and fell that each character brought that little extra something that every film needs. The twist and turns …
Snatch (movie)
I had never heard of the crime drama film “Snatch” until years after it was released in the early 2000s. It stars the famous actor Brad Pitt, and the movie is about two men working as boxing promoters who realize that they can make a lot of money …
But I’m a Cheerleader (movie)
I watched this movie a long time ago a little after it was released, but I don’t think I was old enough to understand it enough to appreciate it. I forgot about it for a couple more years until I saw it on television recently again. I didn’t think …

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (fantasy movie)

Zombie Wars movie
My wife and I wanted to watch a horror movie last night before bed and I didn’t want to be up too late so I ended up picking out the film Zombie Wars; based solely on the fact it was only about 90 minutes long.
I wasn’t expecting much from …
The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
Cunningham Herritage
I am reviewing The Case of the Cunningham Heritage, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fiftees. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …

The Remains of the Day
I am so glad I have found this treasure of a movie. A forgotten treasure, unfortunately; I have never heard of it before, neither have I heard other people mention it. I hope this review will help to draw much deserved attention to this thoughtful, well-acted, well-paced production. I …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 11
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 11 which is titled the Q and the gray was a very interesting yet odd episode for Voyager. I remember when Janeway first encountered the Q in a previous episode but never realized that he sort of holds a certain amount of fascination …
Happy Feet movie
The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …
500 Days of Summer (2009) Movie
When I saw Inception, I was really thinking about the actor who played Arthur. I really thought so hard until I remembered that he was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the guy who was in the movie, 500 Days of Summer.
I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …

The first time I watched The Passion of the Christ I had to skip parts or at times close my eyes because the graphic torture of Jesus was just too much to handle. The more I watched it however, the more I came to realize the …
Death Race movie
Discretion: Alot of violence is in this movie, not only blood (and gore in some cases), do not watch this movie if you are not ok with fist to face action, or even face to concrete/metal action. It’s loud, very loud, depending on what theatre you go to, or if …
Dances With Wolves
We like Kevin Costner as an actor and we saw Dances With Wolves last week. Even after all these years this is still an excellent movie.
Kevin Costner plays a civil war hero who is disenchanted with the status of hero that he received and requested that he be …
Man on Fire movie
Man on Fire is another good serious movie which show drama, action, and crime in a same time. The main actor Denzel Washington (act as Creasy) is very great acting in this movie. My tears like wanna fall in the end of movie.

Greenberg (2010 movie)

The Box Movie

The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …
