Up (Animated Movie by Pixar)
Up is a great animated movie by Pixar. I must say that there is a great content in this movie and that the old man and the little kid is really hilarious. It is not really that funny, but if you watch it closely and watch how the …
Movie House of Wax
I was a bit bored last night but wasn’t quite ready for bed so i decided to sit down and watch the 1953 film House of Wax with Vincent Price.
I watched this movie when I was younger and remember it as a pretty creepy film; especially the scene where …
Flawless movie
When I ordered the movie Flawless from Netflix, I expected it to be a great film about a jewel robbery in the 1960s. As it turns out, I couldn’t even get half way through it.
It’s possible the movie ended up being exciting at some point. It had a couple …
North & South movie
Ah (Sigh!), North & South. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. That would actually be saying a lot considering that first, I haven’t seen one (a beautiful movie, that is) in such a long time; and second, I rarely dub a movie as beautiful if …

Redbox DVD Rental
I rent from the kiosk machine Redbox. It is conveniently located in a lot of grocery stores, gas stations, and some drug stores. I was previously renting from a movie rental store and would often get aggravated when I would turn in the movie a day late and would …
The Strangers 2007 DVD
I was really anticipating this movie, not enough to go see it in theaters but that is an entirely different post. The previews revealed enough to get me interested but they didn’t show all the best parts, which seems to be a running theme these days. It …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …
Movie: Night of the Comet
I ended up watching a movie last night that I haven’t seen in years; Night of the Comet.

Iron Man 2 Movie
I think this movie fell into the sophomore trap—”it wasn’t as good as its predecessor. There is a story though, which is good. Actually, there are many stories going on but they are not too heavy to get the viewer confused. Not much thinking required actually, which after all …

The Tale of Despereaux - (animation starring Matthew Broderick)
I love The Tale of Despereaux! I find it super cute, amazing and I love the voice-overs of Emma Watson as Princess Pea, and the main voice of Despereaux by Matthew Broderick. Other popular voice-over cast are also present and I truly love the storyline, but the movie …
Garbage Pail Kids movie
I am now going to review a horrible movie called Garbage Pail Kids.Before, I get into reviewing,let me give a little explanation why it was made. A big thing in the 80s was a fad involving a series of trading cards targeted to kids called the garbage pail kids.These …
Rock On movie
When the promos were being aired on the television for the film Rock On, I thought that it would be all about a rock band with some loud and vulgar music. Strangely, my friends were bent at watching the movie in the theater. I yielded to their demand and …
Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse movie
The sequel to the zombie movie Resident Evil, which in its turn was based on a video game. Milla Jovovich returns as the sexy female hero who fights the blod-thirsty creatues with elegance and cleverness. The first film was in my opinion at bad as a film can possibly …
Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …
Basquiat (1996 film)
I will open by saying that “Basquiat” is a terrific film, in every way you could name. The performances, by an all-star ensemble cast, are nearly flawless, the direction and visual composition of the film mirrors the personal, intense nature of its subject’s art, and the soundtrack covers a …
Delta Force 2
Delta Force 2 : The Colombian Connection with Chuck Norris, Billy Drago, and Richard Jaeckel.

“Up in the Air” Film
I just finished watching this film. I had heard it was a good film and since it was nominated for a lot of awards in the award season, I figured it would be good. Well, I was wrong, this movie was slow, boring and depressing.

Avatar in Digital 3D
I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …
Chill Out Scooby Doo
I finally got a chance to watch the Scooby Doo movie Chill Out Scooby Doo with my daughter this past weekend. It turned out to be a pretty funny full length film.

The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
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 …
