Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …
Wedding Daze (2004)
When I came across the movie Wedding Daze on television, I thought it was the comedy starring Jason Biggs. Instead, it was a Hallmark Original movie that, for a comedy, was actually very dumb.
It’s really disappointing that an actor like John Laroquette, who made his mark as a womanizer …

The Rookie Movie
This was quite the inspirational movie. This was a movie that I had not planned to watch, but it seems like any movie my boyfriend likes, he wants me to watch as well. But I am so glad that I saw it because I think it impacted me in …
Die Hard 4.0
Few have probably not heard of the Die Hard series,let alone Bruce Willis.The main character remains the same,namely John McClane (now bald),a detective that seemingly has the “talent” to enforce any given situation.In the movie,years have past since the last encounter,and McClane is trying to make peace with his …
Dan in real life
I was really excited to watch this movie. I watched it as soon as I got it in the mail. I thought it was going to be really funny. Well it was a little funny in the beginning and then the movie just got worse. It was boring, not …
Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …

Sparkling Cyanide movie
Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …
Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I recently rented Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bohnam Carter. I have never seen the play or had even actually heard of it outside of the Jersey Girl movie so I went in with a fresh mind.
I already knew …

In the opening scene the Viking clan who inhabit the island of Berk are battling dragons who habitually carry off their sheep and set fire to their houses. Here we meet Hiccup (voiced by Jay …
Kangaroo Jack
“Kangaroo Jack” is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. Even now I am not completely sure as to whether the movie was made for children, young adults, teenagers, adults or simply for the whole family. Watching it made my head hurt, but for some reason, a …
Gameznflix
Gameznflix is a service that you can subscribe to online. It offers movies and games that you can rent. Based on the free trial that I did, I would never subscribe to this site. I didn’t rent any games only movies. The movies take a while to get to …
Movie: City Slickers
Synopsis: Three middle-aged friends decide to go on a wild west vacation and participate in a real-life cattle drive.
What I liked about this movie: When this film first came out, I was still in high school and, while I found it a bit funny, I really had no understanding …
Return of the Rebels movie
Return of the Rebels is a made-for-TV movie that I loved to watch back in the day. It was one of those fun films that was showed repeatedly during a pre-cable era. It stars Barbara Eden and Don Murray, and something about it just appealed to me …

The 1996 movie “The English Patient” won nine Oscars and was nominated for three more. The movie won as Best Picture and Juliette Binoche won best supporting actor for Binoche. Kristin Scott Thomas lost as best actress to Frances Mcdormand and her campy portrayal of a pregnant police officer in …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …

Iron Man 2 (2010 Film)
After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …
Blood Sport
Blood Sport is a classic fighting movie. It’s a great 80s movie with a lots of heart in it. I think Jean Claude Van Damme did a great job of acting in the movie. His fighting style and moves were very good. He has a lot of heart and energy …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …
Sigma Die, Comedy Horror film by Michael A. Hoffman
Oh God, a horror movie that is trying to get the T&A in your face right away is always a bad sign in my book. Sigma Die is a real bad modern aged horror flick that adds blood, T&A, and a zero plot—¦oh wait a serial killer killing college …
Dallas Season One
Oh wow was the first season of Dallas and the miniseries that launched the program was awesome! In a lot of ways, this was the prototype for Prime Time soap operatic drama for two decades to come. Yes, I loved the show even as a little kid watching it …
Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …

The Mangler movie
It’s a movie about a killer washing machine. Really, what more do you need to know?
It’s based on a short story by the master of horror himself, taken from a collection called “Night Shift”. Despite the goofy plot, the story actually works pretty well. Heck, as …
Lost Boys: The Tribe, vampire horror film by P. J. Pesce
It took over twenty years for a sequel to be made for the Lost Boys, one of the best vampire movies of our time. Instead of getting the proper wide theatrical release it deserved this movie was released on every format on video. Does this aspect of the movie …

Surf’s Up (2007) movie
One of the best animation movies of all time, and certainly the best from Sony Animation, Surf’s Up was funny, clever, and perfectly edited. The voices matched the characters brilliantly, and the characters themselves were a hilariously mixed and matched. Some of the dialog was truly inspired, …
The Quiet Earth Movie
One morning an ordinary man wakes up and realizes he is the only alive on earth. Almost the only one, at least.
A production from New Zeeland from the same director who did the studid sequel to Under Siege with Steven Seagal, and that can be noticed here. This film …
The Imitation Game - Movie (2014)
The Imitation Game is truly a masterpiece. It follows a key part of mathematician (among other things), Alan Turing’s life during World War II and how he contributed to help break Nazi Germany’s seemingly infallible communication code named Enigma. I usually dislike period films, especially films that have anything to …
Death Sentence DVD
Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …
Blair Witch
I am reviewing the movie, The Blair Witch Project. So there are three college students. They set out on a trip to the woods. They set out to do a project on the BLair Witch. They interview people along the way, gathering stories and factual/fictional information. They take this …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …
A Home Of Our Own (movie)

Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
Flintstones on the Rocks
I didn’t remember that this movie existed until recently when I found an old DVD of it at my cousin’s house and decided to watch it again so maybe I could write a review on it. It came out in my earlier years in high school which was about …
Diary of a mad black woman
Tyler Perry is an amazing actor and director. I loved this movie. Diary of a Mad black woman took you through all of the emotions that one would go through when there husband cheats on you and then makes you leave like you did something wrong, you actually feel …
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …
The Mummy Movie
A remake of the old monster movie from the 1930s. Brendan Fraser features as the hero of the film in which an ancient mummy is accidentally awoken. He proves to have supernatural powers and starts to kill innocent people to gather strength and return to the shape he once …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
Matt’s Million movie
When I began watching this British movie, I thought, “Definitely not Hollywood.” I don’t know how to describe it, but the movie had this simplistic, almost amateur feel. However, very soon I stopped noticing it.
The story itself is not very original: a teenage boy unexpectedly becomes a millionaire. I …
Tooth & Nail, horror film by Mark Young
How can a cliché post-apocalyptic movie even be considered a horror movie? Did the After Dark Horror Fest standards changed when the second batch of movies were released? Tooth & Nail is by no means a real horror movie, not even familiar faces can save this movie.
A group …
Movie Documentary: The Rise and Fall of WCW
Synopsis: This documentary (which was produced by World Wrestling Entertainment) gives a behind-the scenes look at the now defunct World Championship Wrestling franchise and how it rose from it’s regional roots to a national syndication only to ultimately crash and burn at the very end.
What I liked about this …
Pacific Rim Movie
I must admit that when I first heard that there will be a new movie about giant robots, I was not too pleased. I’m not a fan of the “Transformers” movie series and I was expecting something with a lot of noise and no sense , although I am …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
