She’s the Man (movie)
A few years ago, when She’s the Man was in theaters, I saw a few previews for the movie. I thought the movie looked dumb and unrealistic. However, I decided to give it a chance because my friends wanted to go see it. I am very …
Cabin in The Woods movie

Movie: Planet 51
I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …
Ocean’s Thirteen

Glitter Movie
Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …
Cool World movie
One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.
The strange thing about this film is that the filmmakers didn’t put a lot of effort into making the contrast between reality …

Just Friends comedy
The first time I watched the “Just Friends” Dvd, I was nearly in tears. I love this movie. The actors play their roles so well, that the viewer is fully capable of feeling sympathy, embarrassment, anger, joy, ect for all of the characters. I can’t begin to recall the …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …

Bruce Almighty Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey was brilliantly funny in this movie. He has always been one of my favorite actors and this movie just sealed it. It kind of made me think not to ever question God’s authority again. Jim Carrey plays a guy who is fed up with always being the …
Batman & Robin movie
Quite honestly, I have yet to see any of the Batman movies, though I’ve seen lots of clips and stories on filming them throughout the years. I remember back in the era when this Batman & Robin movie was filmed. There were a number of media segments …
Next Stop, Greenwich Village movie
I absolutely adore movies that take place in the 50’s and 60’s. This movie was made in 1976, but takes place in 1953, so close enough. For some reason, those two decades fascinate me. And the music is so fantastic, I can’t get enough of it! Anyways, onto what …
Movie I know who killed me
Whenever I read a tabloid article about Lindsay Lohan getting busted for drunk driving or entering re-hab, I can’t help but be saddened. That’s because, for all the negative publicity she receives, she is actually not that bad of an actress.
Her latest movie, I know who killed me, is …
The movie Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch

Penn & Teller Get Killed
A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …
Knight of Cups (2016 Film)
I had a really tough time getting through Terrence Malick’s well-known film The Tree of Life when it was released. The first time I watched it I didn’t lasted for 15 minutes. I immediately turned it off because I thought it was nothing but a pretentious show-off. I kept hearing …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
RomeoXJuliet TV Anime Series
RomeoXJuliet is an anime that is loosely based off The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It takes the basic elements of the original story and turns it into something unique that you can only find in an anime, but it still retains the core theme …

Kick-Ass Movie
Kick-Ass is a comic-book superhero movie about a guy who ask himself “why nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” like the ones on comic-books. Kick-Ass is based in a comic by Mark Millar and I think this is one of the best comic-book movies ever. As a …
Movie: “Bolt”
Armed with a unique plot, beautifully colorful animation, and endearing characters, “Bolt” was an absolute delight. I enjoyed every adorable minute of it.

Movie Cloverfield (2008)

When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
Out of Time movie 2003

Push movie
“Push” is a movie about people with powers. It’s set in a world where many people have powers that an secret agency has classified under terms like “pusher”, “reader,” “mover” and “eraser”. I was curious about this movie, even more so since it’s the first non-serious movie I’ve seen …

The Proposal (2009) - Movie
I had a good time watching this movie. As an actor myself, I really appreciate Sandra Bullock’s comedic talents. She’s charming, goofy, and real. I also liked that the movie doesn’t use crude humor. There is some stripping and PG-13 nudity, but I felt it …
Hotel Rwanda movie
Depicting the horrible massacre in Rwanda in the 1990s, this film features an excellent Don Cheadle as the man who tries to save as many people from being killed as he can. Unfortunately, the film focuses all to much on the mere sentimental parts, and leaves the audience practically …

Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
