Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows movie
I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …

Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
Terminator salvation
I already watch this movie in cinemas yesterday. This is the fourth series from terminator movies. I think many new things that are shown and it is very different from the previous movies. For example, the main actor is not Arnold Schwarzeneger anymore, and the world setting is not …
Happy Feet
I’ve seen many movies that’s totally hilarious, but ‘Happy Feet reminds me of the old cartoons like ‘Tom and Jerry. I’ve been considered to be the most humorous guy who love to make people wet their pants and for that movie to really move me and to use it …
The movie Alvin and the Chipmunks
I love Alvin and the Chipmunks. I loved the cartoons and I loved the Christmas tapes that I have. I had been wishing that Alvin and the Chipmunks could make a comeback and then all of a sudden BAM! There before me on the television was the trailer for …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
While Transformers began with children in mind, Revenge of the fallen couldn’t have landed further without earning an “R” rating. While the robots are more numerous and larger in size, I must say I am a little disappointed with the lack of responsibility taken up by the team to …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
One Missed Call
After the ring came out in 2002, quite a few movie producers have tried to copy its success by tweaking the plot a bit.
One Missed Call does this as well. Too bad they don’t do a good enough job at it.
In theory, this should be a scary film. Whenever …

Iron Man 2 (2010)
Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …
Catwoman
“Catwoman”, released in 2004, was supposed to be a blockbuster, due to the fact that it was based on a comic book superhero and because it starred Halle Berry. It’s fortunate for her that her career was strong enough to survive this movie, because it was way beneath …
The Death and Life of Bobby Z
The Death and Life of Bobby Z is a mediocre movie which has it’s good points and bad points. The initial scenes of the movie are very appealing and interesting and one thinks that we are going to watch a good movie after the initial scenes. But what we …

Clay, above …
Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
Scrubs Season Five - My Intern’s Eyes

Oh Heavenly Dog is a charming movie that is surprisingly funny. Chevy Chase stars as a private investigator who gets murdered in the middle of a case. However, as far as Heaven goes, he’s not guaranteed entry. He has to go back to Earth to solve …
Movie Don’t Look Now
I love suspense and horror, and I adore Julie Christie. What a gorgeous actress she was! If you also enjoy this combination, you must watch Don’t Look Now. Don’t Look Now is an older film, from the 1970s, but it will not disappoint you. Julie Christie plays Laura, and …

Two Weeks Notice
I am reviewing the movie, Two Weeks Notice. Sandra Bullock plays neurotic lawyer, environmentalist, and landmark-preservation activist Lucy Kelson. She is determined to delay all efforts to destroy the environment by building and reconstructing. At the height of this comes completely opposite George Wade, who is played by Hugh …

It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” because I have always found it very hard to watch movies starring the actress Julia Roberts. This is because I’m used to her starring in a lot of romance films which I don’t like as …

The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (movie)
I was expecting something a little bit more “comprehensive” and less “jumpy.” I got that Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a film that would address some of the ills affecting the black community following civil rights. But his choice in using a sex performer named …
High School Musical movie
This is one of the best newer movies to come out of Disney in the recent future.
Set around a basketball player and the class brain trying out for the school’s musical and landing the lead roles, the movie has a fun plot to follow and some great music.
I’ve seen …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …

X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …
Robot & Frank (2012)
This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
While I’ve never felt the urge to do any cross dressing, I have to admit I’m almost as big of a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as many of the people who do go that far.
I had never seen this movie until I met my wife and …
Evan Almighty
I watched this movie yesterday. It’s the second to Bruce Almighty. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. In the previews it looked kind of stupid to me. I enjoyed watching the movie though. There were no parts that were hilarious to me but there …
I Know Who Killed Me Movie
I have no problem admitting that I actually like Lindsay Lohan, or at least I like her as an actress even if I don’t care for her personality or partying. I actually like her as a singer too, which is why I think it’s a little sad to see …
The Godfather Movie
A film I consider to be one of the best films ever made is “The Godfather,” made in 1972 and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
As close as any film will ever come to being a true masterpiece, “The Godfather” set a new standard of excellence that has only been …
Fair Game movie
A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …

This movie opens up with the Brothers Grimm meeting the queen of France. She pulls out a glass slipper and goes about telling the real story of Cinderella. There are no pumpkin carriages nor mice turned …
The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
