13: Game of Death (Movie)
This was actually a pretty good movie and I was surprised that I liked it because I usually don’t like Japanese imports. Technically this one is from Thailand, but I didn’t realize that until I went to change the subtitles on the movie.
The movie is all about this …
I Am Legend
Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …

Man of the House movie
I absolutely adore Man of the House, which is a simple romantic comedy from 1995 which stars Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was probably the biggest child star of the 90’s, at least on television. In this film, Thomas plays Ben Archer, whose father …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …

Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …
Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
The Whole Nine Yards, directed by Jonathan Lynn is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was February 18, 2000 for United States audience. This movie falls in the gerne of Comedy/Crime and stars Bruce Willis as Jimmy ‘The Tulip’ Tudeski, Matthew Perry …
Perfect Marriage movie
I watched this movie today on lifetime movie network. They are doing this thing today called “the perfect sunday”. This was a pretty decent movie, overall I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint is that the ending could have been a lot better. I kind of felt like the ending …
A Goofy Movie
If you have read my review of An Extremely Goofy Movie then you already know that I liked this movie. I realize that its a bit sad but the characters are just so endearing that its impossible not to love them.
In this movie Max discovers the wonderful world …
Clueless with Alicia Silverstone
This film is definitely a chick flick. And not only that, it’s definitely for high school girls. While it was made quite a few years ago, it’s still funny to think about the two girls and their interesting perspectives on life and what is important in life. Especially for …
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016 Superhero Movie)
I remember hearing about the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” a long time when it was just a rumour, and I was very excited to see how it would be translated to screen. However, I lost interest in seeing it when I found out that Ben Affleck was …

The DaVinci Code (Movie)
I really wanted to like the DaVinci Code, mainly because I loved the book so much and read it multiple times. That said, I just couldn’t get into this movie. When I tried to watch the DVD, I ended up putting it in at least 4-5 times before I …
An American Crime (R, 2007) movie
This is one film that a lot of Ellen Page fans have probably missed out on. This movie follows the chilling, and true story of Sylvia Likens. Sylvia was a 16 year old girl killed in the mid 1960’s through a long, drawn out case …
The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …
Mortal Kombat (1995)
This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …
40 Year Old Virgin DVD
I actually went to the premiere of this movie in my town. I knew nothing about the movie before I went, but had won free tickets, so decided to give it a try. This movie is absolutly hilarious. Its about a man who is fourty, but still a virgin. …
Cabin Fever movie
36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
Here, we have a film of a similar theme, but it isn’t a delight. It’s …
Hills Have Eyes Movie
I’m a big fan of horror movies. I love being scared and wondering what is going to happen next. So of course I had to rent the DVD “The Hills Have Eyes. The overall concept of the movie sounds scary, all american family get lost in …
LOTR Trilogy
The Lord of The Rings trilogy was probably the greatest story ever told that managed to reach the grand stage of the movie theater. I just love the way this movie was put together, from the scenery all the way to how perfectly the roles were assigned to just …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …
The Fall of the Roman Empire movie
A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

Eastwood Mall Cinema 5 Quezon City
I have reviewed Angels and Demons movie already and I watched it at Eastwood Mall together with my computer. I initially wanted it to be at Cinema 7 because it has a reclining couple’s chair but since the screening time is too late within the day, I just chose …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
The Avengers Movie
Captain America . Thor. Iron Man . Hulk. These are characters that I grew up with and whose films I had fun with and I have always looked forward to. What happens when all these characters fall into one and the same mixture? A true epic! Marvel’s production “The …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
The New pornographers Twin Cinemas CD
Thie is a great fun little album that seems to find its way into my Cd player time and time again. The New pornographers are a band, buch like the shins that put out a hppy popish like sound unlike many other bands today. their music fun, and uplifting. …
Moviestar.ie
Moviestar.ie is an online dvd rental service available to people living in ireland. This is the second service I have tried and so far the best. They have a great choice of dvds and you can preview the trailers before you order, even though sometimes the trailer does not …
Dark Harvest
Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …
Manchurian Candidate (2004) Movie
This political thriller starring Denzel Washington and Liev Schrieber is a remake of a 1962 film by the same name. Denzel Washington plays army Major Ben Marco, who served in the same platoon as now Senator Raymond Shaw, portrayed by Schrieber.
Marco, now retired from the military, often finds …
Madea’s Family Reunion movie
I love Tyler Perry movies and was really anxious to see “Madea’s Family Reunion”, yet another movie with his unforgettable Madea character dispensing out advice that is somewhere between being wacky and wise. Tyler Perry wrote, directed and starred in this film about members of Madea’s family planning both …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
The Mask
One of my favourite movies from the mid nineties is a movie called “The Mask” starring the actors Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz. I still think that it was one of Jim Carey’s best movies and it was the best I had seen actress Cameron Diaz look in a …
Pollyanna
I am reviewing the movie, Pollyanna, starring Haley Mills. Anyone who has a little girl will enjoy this movie. I think you’ll enjoy it anyway, even if you haven’t. Pollyanna is about a little girl who is sent to live with her very rich aunt Polly. A …
Vajra Sky Over Tibet
I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.
This is a very good, …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Valkyrie: Movie
I thought that Valkyrie was a decent, very-well executed movie made better for me by the fact that it was based on true, historical events.
I think that the story is a very powerful one to tell, as not much is remembered of the Germans who hated Hitler as much …
Indecent Proposal movie (1993)
I’m sure that most of you out there have already seen “Indecent Proposal,” considering all of the hype surrounding it. But for those of you who have never seen the film, I will offer you my personal opinions on it. I remember being anxious to see this movie before …
IMDb.com
This website is highly useful for film buffs, but it is so detailed and so user-friendly that it is not niche at all and is useful for anyone who likes movies. I find that to be pretty much everyone. I love this website because it is always …
Balto
Made in 1995, this animated film features the vocal talents of Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, and Bob Hoskins, among others. It’s also based on a true story, very loosely based on a true story mind you.
Though there are many talented, well-known actors who lent their talent and names …
Regarding Henry movie
This movie, Regarding Henry, is one I enjoy watching a great deal. It stars Harrison Ford as a very unlikable lawyer who cares more about image and his dining room table than he does for his wife and daughter. Annette Bening is the wife, and Mikki Allen …
