Movie - Serendipity
Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …
3 Days to Kill (movie)
I was a little surprised that I didn’t hear anything about the movie “3 Days to Kill” until after it was released on Blu-ray some time later. I decided to take the movie home and watch it since it looked like it might have a fairly good plot, and …
Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …
Returner Movie
When earth have been invaded by aliens and the downfall is very close, one human being manages to travel back in time to stop the invasion before it takes place.
This is mostly interesting because of the poetic imagery it uses and the excellent actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. The film is …
Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …
12 Years A Slave (Movie 2013)
“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York movie
The movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was the sequel and successor to one of the biggest hit movies of the 20th century, “Home Alone”. Of course, like many other sequels with very successful prequels, this movie didn’t do well as the first. Nevertheless, it was still …
Terminator Salvation
For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …
Music of the Heart (1999)
Based on actual events, this movie shows to viewers that you can find hope in any situation once there is resolve to stand strong and believe. Take this movie for example, when a music department is cut from the school due to the lack of budget resources, they teacher …
Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (3D)
I loved Transformers: Dark of the Moon! I thought it should be pretty cool in 3D. I was right! It impressed me right away, literally within the first minute or two. Then it kept getting better throughout the movie.
I wasn’t sure how I would like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for …

The Kingdom
Have you guys ever watched The Kingdom before, starring Jamie Foxx and his acting is really good in this story. I was quite mesmerized by the war effects that is in this movie but at times, I felt that the movie has a boring plot and I felt like …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
True Lies (1994)

Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie
I was surprised that this movie didn’t get more thumbs down on Netflix reviews. This was an interesting film that could have been much much better. Offering a slightly different spin on the typical teenage group in the woods slasher film, this movie uses a little …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …
Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …

Popeye
No matter what the critics say, and they say much, none of which was good, I will always cherish this movie. My hat’s off to the director, the screenwriter, and most importantly the production crew, for turning out a fantastic film that remained true to the comic characters and …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …
Whiplash (drama movie)
I had Whiplash on my list of movies to watch from earlier on this year, but never actually took the time out to give it a chance. Recently though when it was airing on one of my cable television channels I decided to give it a try. I liked it. …
Limitless (movie)
One of the best movies that I’ve watched so far this year is a movie called “Limitless”. Even though I saw it advertising and read a multitude of good reviews on the movie, I didn’t watch it until a family member of mine finally persuaded me to. Even just …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Out of curiosity in college, I watched this movie. That was because of my professor in Graphics and Special Effects who recommended this to the class saying this has a good special effects sample. Well, it did not fail me. The transformation of humans into grotesque …
Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
Mouse Hunt - DVD 1998
Released at the turn of the century Mouse Hunt is ridiculous in the extreme, in fact in places it is almost too silly to laugh at - well that’s how I see it but I’m sure there are those out there who will not agree with me.
The Smuntz brothers …

The Prestige (movie)
The Prestige is one of the best and most entertaining movies I have seen in the year 2007. It was crafted so perfectly that I don’t think there would be a better movie about magic tricks. The Prestige was directed by the same guy who directed Batman Begins. He did …
Storm of the Century by Stephen King
Have you guys ever watched Storm of the Century by Stephen King before? It is one of Stephen King’s movies and I watched this sometime back. Now, any story from Stephen King will always be laced with mystery and wonderment and sometimes the characters are being developed quite …
Epic Theatres of St. Augustine
I have decided this summer I will travel around Florida. This weekend’s trip was to St. Augustine, FL. It may come as no surprise to you then that even while away from my home town of Gainesville, FL I still had to go see Transformers 2: Revenge of the …
Wildcats movie
Goldie Hawn stars in Wildcats as a football coach, something that is definitely unusual and which presents her with a lot of challenges. She knows football, but her knowledge doesn’t buy her the trust and belief of anyone, including her team. She has to work hard to …
FengShui Movie
This is yet another great movie (a horror movie) that is 100% Filipino made. I love this movie because it sent me chills to my bones and I think even though this movie is quite old already, many people still haven’t forgotten about it because it is really one …
Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …
Leningrad Cowboys Go America movie
A film by the finnish director Aki Kaurismaki about a rock band called Leningrad Cowboys who have severe difficulties getting a contract from a record company.
The roomer says Kaurismaki himself is ashamed of this film which he did early in his career. I personally can’t appreciate those of his …
Movie The Saint
I must admit that “The Saint” is one of those movies that I keep watching and watching. I truly enjoy it every time I see it. I think the most interesting aspect of this movie is the right mixture between action and romance together with great work from the …

Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
Movie Cars
Cars is one of the best animation film that I really really love so much. I love the animation and the 3D effects of the film. I am sure that all of it were skilfully done just to make it more pleasing to the eyes. Not only did I …
Chain Reaction
I just can’t help it. Whenever I see Keanu Reeves in a movie, regardless of how good it might be, I instantly have flashbacks to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and, no matter how hard I try, I can’t take him seriously.
This was the situation when I sat down …
Friday the 13th
My wife and I rented the remake of the movie Friday the 13th and didn’t know what to expect from it. I figured it would be roughly the same as the original but, shortly after starting it, I realized I don’t remember a thing about the original and couldn’t …
Loaded Weapon 1
It has been ages since I’ve seen the movie Loaded Weapon 1. And, I have to say, I had completely forgotten just how funny this movie was.
It features Emilio Estevaz before he ruined his career by doing stupid kids movies. And, between his performance as a burned out cop …
Private Benjamin
Goldie Hawn stars in Private Benjamin, a wonderful comedy that really shows off her talents. Judy Benjamin is a spoiled rich girl whose husband dies on their wedding night. Confused and depressed, she joins the Army, only she’s joined the ones seen in the commercials and the …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
Death Note Movie
Death Note (2006) is one of the best foreign movies I’ve ever seen. Based on the popular Manga of the same name, and directed by Shusuke Kaneko, Death Note hails from Japan and tells a complex, interesting story about the faults of mankind.
Despite some pretty bad “heart attack” …

Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail movie
Tyler Perry Made goes to jail is one of the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. I really had a great time watching all of it. It’s hilarious to see Tyler dressing up as a woman. She’s wearing this women outfit and she acts like a man. …
