X-Men Origins: Wolverine
With all of the X-Men films that have been produced for mutant lovers everywhere, another movie revolving around these super human characters caught me as a little of overkill. However, I was proved very wrong after having seen the 2009 X-Men film, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. Not only was this …
Being John Malkovich movie
A complex film by Spike Jonze with a screenplay written by the already cult rated Charlie Kaufman. About a man who accidentally finds a passage into the brain of John Malkovich. When he tries to get famous out of this Malkovich himself suspect something is wrong and actually walk …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …

Black Swan Movie
2010 has not been a great year for movies. When the pickings are slim, you immediately notice the movies that get gleaming reviews for outstanding performances and innovation. Black Swan has been such a movie. It is difficult to avoid seeing the various ads and reviews for this film. …
Ghost Town 2008 movie
Ghost Town is one of those movies where the story is so familiar that you already know what is going to have even if you are only given a little bit of the plot. (I found this with Avatar as well). I mean, this is such a common plot …
Stage Fright movie
One of Alfred Hitchcock’s minor works tells a chilling story about murders, innocently accused men and all of the standard Hitchcock components. The difference between this and North by northwest for instance, is that Mr Hitchcock must have been very uninspired when he did this. Either that or that …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …
Movie No Reservations
In all honestly, I believe this is the worst film for Catherine Zeta Jones and it is not entirley here fault! I decided to watch “No Reservations” after I liked its trailer, however, in the end, it failed to impress me. This film transmits a lot of sadness to …
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace movie
It looks like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace took a lot of time coming. It was almost like the long wait for James Cameron’s Avatar, many years after Titanic established itself as the unbeatable hit. Therefore, when it finally came to the theaters, naturally …
Mega Snake (movie)
The film “Mega Snake” is something that can be considered as yet another one of those Syfy original creature horror films. Like quite a few of its b—“rated film predecessors that I have struggled to watch over the years, this one was also B-rated and low budget and I …

I am reviewing the movie, The Bells of Saint Mary’s, starring Bing Crosby. This movie follows the lives of some nuns and Father O’Malley. This movie is the sequel to its prequel, Going My Way. Father O’Malley enters Saint Mary’s with the purpose to get the building condemned. …
Bubble Boy
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Bubble Boy. But, after seeing it today, I can remember why I loved it so much.
What is better than a tale about a boy who is forced to live his life in a bubble because he doesn’t have an immune …
An American Haunting Movie
I don’t if anyone has seen the movie the An American Haunting but, if you have then either A. you were confused as I was or B. fell a sleep! I did both these options not because I wanted to only for the reason the movie seemed to just …
As Good As It Gets film
“As Good As It Gets” is a 1997 film with Academy Award-winning performances by Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. It is more of a character study than a plot-driven film, so be aware of that before buying or renting it. Not much happens in the movie. The …

House Guest movie
“House Guest” was a movie I watched some years ago in my earlier years of high school. I can remember thinking at that time how I could have missed such a movie and wondering whether I should watch it or not since I had never found the African American …
Bubble (2005)
I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …
Scream 2
I give most of my reviews on DVD movies, due to the fact that I love watching television and movies.
When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …

Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …
Earth Girls are Easy (movie)
When watching the movie Earth Girls are Easy, you might be fooled into thinking you�re going to watch a hilarious movie. The reality is, outside of seeing Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldbloom in early roles, there really aren�t many redeeming qualities to this film. Unless of course …
The Lord Of The Rings movies
So after reading the books as many times as I have, of course I HAD to see the movies in theatres when they were released. Of course, I now own them all :D. The movies had amazing special effects, and excellent casting and costume staff. Each part was played …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …
Charlie Chan in Reno movie
It’s been ages since I’ve sat down and watched a Charlie Chan movie, so going into this I was curious to see how I’d enjoy it again. This movie, Charlie Chan in Reno, was from 1939 and stars Sidney Toler in the role of the infamous detective.
The black …
AVP
Aliens vs. Predator is my personal favorite of the entire sga of both movies.
The story goes like this: a bunch of scientist discovered an ancient temple in the Pole, they also discovered that over night a giant tunnel leading down to it mistriously appeared. They have no idea of …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Movie Stop Loss
My son and I went to see the movie “Stop Loss” last evening and this is the first anti war movie that I have seen since the tragic events of 9/11. We saw this move at Arundel Mills Malls, in Hanover Maryland
This movie deals with a young soldier who …
Harriet the Spy
“Harriet the Spy” was one of my favourite children’s movies when I was younger. Just recently in fact, I found out that it was the same actress who starred in the movies “Ice Princess” and “Eurotrip” who played the role of Harriet in the movie.
The movie is a …

Jumper (movie)
My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …
“A Christmas Carol,” 2009 (Animation)
We went to see the new animated “Christmas Carol” movie yesterday. Like all new Disney animations, it is done in 3D; we got the 3D glasses as we bought the tickets, and paid $3 more per ticket because of it. It was well worth it though: I felt like …

Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
Boogie Nights (1997 film)
“Boogie Nights” finds director Paul Thomas Anderson (”Magnolia,” There Will Be Blood”) absorbing some amazing influences in both cinematography, structure and storytelling, rolling them all together and making the result uniquely his own. The tragicomic story of a group of porn producers and actors in California’s San Fernando Valley …
Max Headroom movie
From 1985, Max Headroom introduces a really unique new concept to television viewing. In fact, you really have to be open to something different when you go into this, and not only that, but you need to stay focused on what is happening throughout Max Headroom or you’ll …
Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
Aliens (1986)
Ripley returns to fight off an army of aliens, but this time she’s backed up by a whole host of gun toting hombres.
The tagline of this film pretty much sums the plot up; “this time its war”, and for the most part, that’s what this film is; a war …
Gladiator
“Gladiator” is the director’s, Ridley Scott blogbuster that made the then unknown actor, Russell Crowe a much sought out actor in Hollywood. It is a true pity that, although this movie won 5 Oscars, Scott failed to win the best director category. He was very much disappointed for not …

Killjoy
When I let my daughter pick out the movie Killjoy for me and my wife (she’s four and picks movies based on the cover) I was a bit concerned it would be too scary for my pregnant spouse.
