Movies Reviews
Dragonball Evolution
I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …
Vacancy (R, 2007) movie
This is one of the few films that I had actually planned to see in theatres. I never made it before it went to DVD. But upon renting it, I realize that I would have enjoyed the theatrical experience just as much as watching it at home. …
Enter The Dragon Movie
Enter The Dragon is probably my favorite martial arts film of all time. I think that the master Bruce Lee really showed people how it is done in this movie. The story is starts and beautiful China where Bruce Lee practices Kung Fu in the great Shaolin Temple. I just …
Reign Over Me (R, 2007)
You know, I need to start this review by saying that I almost didn’t rent this movie just because Jada Pinkett was in it. It’s not that I hate her as an actress, per se. I just find that her acting ability seems to forced in …
Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …
True Grit Movie
The age of Westerns has certainly passed. I cannot remember the last time a movie qualifying for that category has been widely, successfully released. And yet, apparently there is still an audience for them as can be seen with the release of True Grit, a Coen Brothers remake of …
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 …
Live Free or Die Hard
There are movies that make you say, “that was good.” There are movies that make you say, “wow.” However there are very few movies that make you say, “Wow, that was good.” That’s exactly what I said when I finished watching Live Free or Die Hard. The movie follows …
Autopsy: Postmortem with Dr. Michael Baden (UR, 2008)
I must really be a morbid individual because I find documentaries about serial killers, crime scenes, and autopsies incredibly fascinating. Upon renting this one on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued. The mention of high profile cases was of extreme interest to me. And I liked …
War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
Once again, I’m back to watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I was anticipating War and Peace to replicate the same picture of the actress as the other regal-themed, A Roman Holiday, yet the movie wasn’t focused primarily on her character and I ended enjoying the whole film instead. …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
12 Angry Men (Remake)
In 1997, someone got the not-so-bright idea to recreate a theatrical classic, 12 Angry Men. The problem for me is that the original production was about as near to perfect as you can get. Headed by Henry Fonda and a legendary cast, this film was dramatic and …
Dead Like Me: Haunted
Dead Like Me: Haunted was the final regular episode for this science fiction series about grim reapers. It was Halloween, and it was actually one of their better episodes.
I liked seeing the characters in other types of attire. Jasmine Guy, who is quite beautiful, dressed as a …
Gun (Bluray), 2011 action film
Famous rapper, video game hero, and now for some reason movie star and maker, 50 Cent gives us his next film entitled Gun. The decision for this movie to be a direct to DVD film was a smart one because, after a second viewing, Gun is no more than …
“White Countess” starring Natasha Richardson
I really enjoyed the 2005 movie “White Countess.” The movie stars Natasha Richardson as Countess Sofia Belinskya and Russian Countess expatriated to Shanghai after the 1917 Russian Revolution. To support herself and her extended family Sofia works as a dance hall girl and sometimes prostitute. Despite her efforts her …
Axe
Axe is one of the most confusing horror movies that I’ve seen in a long time. It’s better known as Lisa, Lisa and many people know it because the lead actress had several urban legends surrounding her and what happened to her after filming of the movie finished. Lisa …
Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …
Screwed movie
Screwed is a very funny movie and I couldn’t suppress my laughter throughout the movie. It has so many comedy scenes one after another that people can not control their laughter. I faced the same problem throughout the movie when I watched in theater some years ago. It …

Disney’s The GamePlan
Today I watched Disney’s The Gameplan starring Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson and Madison Pettis. It turned out to be a surprisingly refreshing movie with a nice family friendly message and a huge sense of humor. A comedy / drama that gets us caught up in the …
The A-Team: Movie
The A-Team is a fun, action-packed remake of the TV series that I think will be of interest to a lot more people than it is given credit for.
I thought that the action scenes were very good and quite unique; given the circumstances they often find themselves in they …
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army is a good movie for a guy to take his girl to if he wants to get some good relationship points. This movie is great and will hold your attention from start to finish. I liked the special effects but I have to …
The Naval Treaty
I am reviewing The Naval Treaty, a Sherlock HOlmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. This was produced by Granada television in 1983. In the Naval Treaty, Holmes is hired by a man to find an extremely important document, a document which could …
Because I said So
Overall it’s a alright movie. It wasn’t that funny but it did have some funny parts in it. I did laugh a couple times but nothing was hilarious. It also dragged out somewhat. It was really long. It was kind of boring and I just wanted the movie to …
Ginger Snaps movie
I first watched Ginger Snaps in 2005 due to recommendations on IMDb. It is a movie about two sisters, Ginger and Brigitte, who are going through changes, one symbolic and one quite literally. The plot focuses heavily on sisterhood, growing apart, changing, and love, as well as losing yourself …
Da vinci Code movie
I watched this movie with my mother when it first came out. I didn’t understand a lot of it. Unless you know the bible really well I wouldn’t recommend the movie. I was kind of lost throughout the whole movie. My mother knows the bible really well and she …

Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …
George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) Film
George A. Romero is known to zombie fans as the “Godfather of All Zombies,” according to Wikipedia. His rise to fame began in 1968 with “Night of the Living Dead,” a dystopian zombie film that garnered acclaim and criticism for its grotesque scenes and nearly nihilistic ending. Though I’ve …
Out to Sea movie
From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …
Shaun of the Dead Movie(2004)
Horror with a pinch of comedy…you have to love it whether you want to or not. A genius twist to killing and rampaging carnage. Now here is a movie with vision and character. There is nothing more to add about this film…it’s pure genius. Just watch and anjoy.
Rating: 10 …
“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …
The Night Flier, 1997 movie
As you may have guessed, this movie is not for those who seek morals and some points in GMRC but I watched this movie because I thought it was like a Jeepers Creepers type of thing and that it was based on Stephen King’s work but I got disappointed. …
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo movie
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo was a real shocker when it came out in 1991. I remember reading the buzz about it. Would they really kill off Columbo’s unseen but much loved wife? The made for TV movie actually starts with Mrs. Columbo’s funeral. …
The Quick and The Dead
The Quick and the Dead stars Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Gary Sinise.
A must see western principally due to the nonstop action and great music. Over the years the quality that makes a western standout has always been memorable music and …

This is one of the most hilarious movies that Ashton Kutcher has starred in. This hilarious, romance has to do with a very young couple getting married and the brides family not agreeing with it at all. It puts alot of strain on the beginning of the …
The Legend Of 1900
The Legend Of 1900 is a movie about this man who lives on a ship. Tim Roth, one of my favorite character actors, plays 1900, the person who the story was written about. The Legend Of 1900 is so beautiful that the movie just made me get all weepy …
