Movies Reviews
Coraline cartoon movie
I have just finished watching “Coraline” and I thought about writing the review now with the memory of it fresh in my head.
It is a cute cartoon movie, a bit too spooky for young children but nevertheless very moralizing.
I have let my son watch it with me and he …
The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
Monster in Law
“Monster in Law” marks Jane Fonda’s return on the big screen after 15 years absent from the movie industry, and may I add what a return. Fonda interprets the role of a mother obsessed in breaking up her son’s relationship with his present girlfriend, Charlie.
During an interview, Fonda …
The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013 movie)
Oz The Great and Powerful tries so hard to be epic. It has a very entertaining feeling. There are aspects of the movie that are brilliant and there were things that I thought needed some work. Sometimes I thought the pacing of the film was a little off and …
Erin Brockovich
If you want a movie that embodies the term “girl power”, it is definitely the feature film Erin Brockovich. Other than it being the movie that won Julia Roberts an Oscar for Best Actress in 2001, it narrates the life story of the eccentric but street-smart main character …

The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …

Boogie-Woogie Dream movie short
The magic of Boogie-Woogie Dream, a 1944 movie short, comes in the form of newcomer, Lena Horne. She is the centerpiece and she’s worthy of the honor, too.
What I wish is that I had seen some of these films with Horne before now. When the singer and …
King Kong
‘King Kong’ is an English movie. It is interesting to watch and full of adventure. Now, there is a man named Carl Denham. He has got a movie to finish and he has to search for a location. He decides that Skull island would be the best location. But …
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …
Driving Miss Daisy movie
Driving Miss Daisy is a sweet, nostalgic feeling film that focuses upon the relationship between a lady and her driver. Daisy is played by Jessica Tandy and her driver is Hoke, played by Morgan Freeman. Now Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman are two of my all-time favorite actors and …
Meet The Browns Film (2008)
I’ve watched Meet the browns so many times that I literally know the script by heart. That’s just how much I enjoy watching this movie. In all honestly, Meet the Browns film is one my favorite movies from Tyler Perry. Yes, there’s the play, and the TV series, but …
Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
The Girl with All the Gifts (Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Horror Movie)
The Girl with All the Gifts is a 2016 British post-apocalyptic zombie horror drama film directed by Colm McCarthy and written by M.R. Carey adapted from his novel of the same name.
To be honest, I knew nothing about the movie before watching it. I kept thinking that it would be …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …
Dark Man movie
When I first saw Dark Man, I thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. After watching it a second time, I still think it\’s good, but have a less favorable impression of it.
The best thing I like about the movie is the concept. A scientist …
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993 movie)

Pride and Prjudice 2006
It is very rare that I see a movie of a book that I have read and that I like it. This movie, Pride and Prejudice starring Kiera Knightly was an exception. The film work was exceptional, the acting was superb, and the costumes were stunning. This is another …
The Theory of Everything (biographical drama movie)
I was one of those people who was interested in watching the movie “The Thoery of Everything” long before it became nominated for various awards and won several Oscars. This was because I was thrilled with the idea of a movie about Professor Stephen Hawking’s life, his romance with Jane …
American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
Role Models
Role Models made me laugh like crazy. I watched with a group of friends and we were basically just making a “wild guess” that this movie is going to work out. We were actually wanting to watch another movie show, but this one was available so it was …

Never Been Kissed 1999 movie
Never Been Kissed, with Drew Barrymore, is, in a word, cute. The premise (shy girl gets to go back to high school and try again as part of a newspaper assignment) is fun and resonates with the part of me that knows a lot more than I did when …
The Ring (2002) movie
People used to tell me all about this movie, so I knew what to expect but my girlfriend still said I had to watch it cause the creepiness gets to everyone. I can’t lie this movie is very creepy and the ending is just great.
The story is all …

Howl’s moving Castle
Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation. This film in no ways pushes the boundaries of animation and doesn’t attempt to which is refreshing. Too many modern animation films concentrate on wonderful computer affect to the detriment of the …

Hello, today, I am going to be giving you guys a review on the movie Death Race in Bluray format. I watched this movie a little while ago and I thought it deserved a good review.

The 2008 Comedy/Horror Teeth
A friend told me about this movie one Saturday and all but forced me to watch it. To tell the truth, at first I thought the movie was going to be silly, and just another b-movie since the plot alone sounded ridiculous to me. Either way, I tried it …

Wrestling With Shadows
Wrestling With Shadows directed by Paul Jay is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen, at first glance you assume the movie is a simple production which follows a wrestler on a day to day basis and chronicles his trouble. However, after watching the movie you …
Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 Film)
2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …
Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok)
In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …
Jack Black
OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
The problem I have is he�s one dimensional. He can�t do drama or action. It has to be comedy. Even when he tries to be serious, you can�t help but think …
Film: Dead Silence
Not having seen any film from the Saw franchise, and just liking the way the commercials looked, I watched Dead Silence with a little wary hesitation. I’d wanted to see if from those ads, thinking that it looked creepy, and hey dolls usually are in the right circumstances, but …

Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …

Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …
Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix Movie
I admit that it’s hard for me to describe the impressions that I have of this “Harry Potter” film in words, because “The Order of the Phoenix ” grabbed me from the start and did not let me go until the very finale , continually stunning me with its …
