Armageddon
Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …
Blessed movie
I just got finished watching the movie “blessed” on lifetime movie network. It was an alright movie. Overall I didn’t really care for it that much. I would have rather watched something else. The end was pretty good though. The whole movie was alright, the end was the best …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …
Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.
Now I remember, this is a better film than you would think it is.
The movie is essentially a spoof of those …
The Ring movie
I can remember when I watched the premiere of the movie “The Ring” on cable. I can’t remember which movie channel brought it, but what I do remember is that even though I did not expect it to be terrifying I still found it a little creepy. I had …

The Nightwatch movie
Nightwatch was produced by Timur Bekmambetov. It is a science fiction action movie with a very interesting main plot and a few different subplots, that interlink in the end of the movie, but still leave the ending to be somewhat mysterious. The film begins with a prologue, a picture …
Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …
Pink Panther,2006 movie
I went to see the new “Pink Panther” with Steve Martin yesterday. My opinion is that it’s a worth-to-see-once kind of movie. I had some good laughs, but there were some jokes that annoyed me (below-the-waist humor; thankfully, there wasn’t too much of it).
Steve Martin is a good comedy …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
Hi Fidelity film
This is one of my favourite films, and it’s based on a book by one of my favourite authors, Nick Hornby. It stars John Cusack, as Rob, a hapless record store owner who is obsessed by lists. After his relationship breaks down he lists his five most …
Catwoman
This movie is kitty litter. The plot is stupid and outrageous, and the only thing you get out of this film is a movie where you laugh at the stupid people who wasted their lives in the filming of this movie. This movie has probably only gotten views by …
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone
This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …

Curious George movie
When I saw the cover for this movie it felt like it was a little boring since it has only a monkey holding a telescope. Nevertheless when my niece and I got nothing to do we did give it a try to watch it. At first it was a …

The movie is set six years after the X-Files are closed. Dana Scully is now a doctor at a Catholic hospital, Our Lady of Sorrows while Fox Mulder is some sort of bum after being hunted down by the FBI. They both do not want anything to do with …
The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …
Someone Like You - (starring Ashley Judd)
Ashley Judd stars as Jane in this date movie called Someone Like You. I love the performance of Hugh Jackman in here as well and he is basically someone that comes into Jane’s life after she has suffered a break-up and more.
He talks to her about life, …
Quantum of Solace
Daniel Craig’s second outing as James Bond 007 was a sad disappointment, especially following the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, a film that managed to successfully reboot the franchise and make Agent 007 popular again with fans that had long grown tired of the outlandish and unrealistic direction the franchise was …
Bingo (1991 movie)
The first time that I saw the movie “Bingo” was several years ago in either the late nineteen nineties or the early two thousands, and I was not very impressed with the movie. Even when I watched it a little more recently, I still was not impressed with it. …

Movie Overnight Delivery
“Overnight Delivery” is an incredible, hilarious movie where you won’t stop laughing from the beginning till the end. The main actors in this movie, Paul Rudd and Reese Whiterspoon are at their best.
The story of this movie is about Wyatt Trips (Rudd) who is so in love with his …
Forbidden Warrior
I first became aware of these movie recently when I was on summer holidays. I had gone to a friend’s house and saw it being aired on television. At first I thought it looked a little interesting so I actually decided to forget about what I had gone there …
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 …
Revolver
“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …
Movie : Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …
Iron Man, Jon Favreau Movie

Mamma Mia! The Movie
I have loved Abba songs as a young girl and it was a nice surprise to find out that a movie has been made using some of their songs. Later I discovered that the movie was actually based on a successful stage musical! (Wish I could watch that someday).
We …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Confessions of a Shopaholic is your typical feel-good romantic movie and it stars Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, a financial journalist for Successful Savings, a New York finance magazine. She maintains a column as The Girl in the Green Scarf and gives financial advice to people and has …
Braveheart Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
Across The Universe
Overview - After watching Across The Universe two days in a row, I can say that it’s probably my favorite movie of all time. Across The Universe is a movie that basically connects the lives of different people into one story and it tells the story through the use …
Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …
Movie Teen Wolf
Teen Wolf with Michael J Fox.
The title of this movie pretty much explains the story line, but the magic that somehow is associated with little Michael is hard to explain. This film was fun to watch over and over again and can only be …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
A movie directed by Steven Speilberg, story in part by George Lucas, Starring Harrison Ford, Cate Balnchett, Karren Allen and Shia LaBeouf.

Warren Haynes is a member of the …
Movie Eagle Eye
Now this has got to be, in my opinion, the best movie for 2008. Eagle Eye was a very very unique and interesting movie, starring the ever so hott Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, and the beautiful Rosario Dawson.
The movie surrounds two main characters, Jejrry and Rachel, complete and …
Pixels (Science Fiction Comedy Movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “Pixels” I didn’t have a lot of great expectations of it when taking into consideration the premise of the movie. However, I did assume that it was going to be one of those lighthearted movies that was both fun and funny. …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …

Movie Wanted
Wanted is an excellent action film with a compelling enough story. The main motivation to watch this film is for the action scenes and the gun battles. Even though some scenes are not very realistic (It may be possible to bend or curve a bullet, but some scenes are …
Shawn of the Dead
Before watching this movie, I asked some of my friends about “Shawn of the Dead” since I didn’t want to waste my money watching foolishness in the theatres. At that time I got mixed reactions. There were people to said that the movie was hilarious and there were others …
Movie, The Imitation Game
I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …
The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …
The Mayor of Casterbridge
The Mayor of Casterbridge with Alan Bates has impressed me. It is a story of a man who gets drunk and sells his wife and baby daughter to a stranger. Twenty years later, the wife, Susan, returns. It turns out that she has been a faithful wife to the …
When Harry Met Sally
Yes, I know, I know: for some reason, many folks have agreed that this movie is great. Wonderful. Almost a classic… Beats me why. I watched it a couple of days ago and found it very average.
Sally and Harry meet for the first time as college students, then life …
