Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007)
This movie is a twisted tale from director Quentin Tarantino about a stuntman who went on a rampage killing a few women and got off any charges due to lack of evidence, the officials involved ruled that it was an accident as the girls were intoxicated. How it all …
I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …
Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …
Down Periscope movie
When Down Periscope first came out, I thought Kelsey Grammar was a bad choice for the lead role. I was definitely wrong. This movie was great, I was laughing so hard throughout it hurt and I’ve never looked at the Navy the same way again.
The crew of the Stingray …
Click movie
In this movie Adam Sandler plays a hard-working professional always pressed for time who gets a hold of a ?universal remote control? that can actually control life itself ? make it pause, fast forward, and rewind. At first, Sandler?s character, Michael, is overjoyed. When he cannot remember what song …
American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
Taken: Mini Series
Taken is a mini series by Steven Spielberg made in 2002 about the abduction of aliens. Taken is a science fiction genre show which focuses on several generations of humans who were abducted by aliens, which then had children.
Four generations are shown in Taken of three different families over …
Addams Family Values (1993 movie)
While this movie brought back the original characters as well as the same actors who played them, it was just lacking in the area of what I was looking for in a sequel to the first movie. It had all of the chemistry and potential for the greatness of …
The Carson City Kid movie
Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.
Rogers played a man masquerading …
Coraline movie
Have you ever wanted to leave your world and then go into another? A world that is happier. If so Coraline is the movie for you.
This movie is probably the most visually stunning movies I have seen all summer. Though I will admit the plot did take a while …

The samurai, who is an excellent swordsman, becomes their Yojimbo (bodyguard) and takes out the leagues against each other in a very clever way.

Alfred Hitchcock’s ROPE (1948)
Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ is usually hailed as a classic among his work, getting on top ten lists and people still being talked about today. Sadly all that seems to be discussed is his famous use of the ten minute take, and the gay subtexts the film exhibits in relation …
Catch Me if You Can Movie (20020)
When the movie “Catch Me if You Can” came out in 2002, I was really excited to see it because it starred Leonardo DiCaprio. When I saw the preview of this film, I immediately thought that this was good.
This movie depicts the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Richard Gere’s character was too …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Iron Man
Iron Man, I thought it was going to be a movie for the boys, like transformers or something like that, but it was really something more. It was a movie for everyone. It was mysterious, suspenseful, and even had a dash of romance. I have put it on my …
He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
I don’t go to a lot of movies in the theatre, but I thought this one might be fun. It’s based on the book of the same name, and you can see this in the small vignettes in between scenes of the movie - occasionally you leave the action …
New Moon film
I have to say, I know I am a massive geek for being excited as I was too see the fill New Moon. After I saw Twilight last year I had to read all the books which were really good, and I was so excited to see the next …
The Karate Kid 2010
I had watched the original Karate Kid movies a few tens of times over my life and I really loved them. It was hard for me going to watch the new Karate Kid movie (The Karate Kid 2010), mainly because I was expecting a re-run of the original movie …

“Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides” (2011 Film)
I can honestly say that the fourth film of the “Pirates of Carribean” series worried me. The first three films were remarkably casted, well laid out, and left me laughing and one the edge of my seat with suspence. However, after seeing the fourth film in theaters, “Pirates of …
Anime: Elfen Lied
If the audience does not mind gorey/violent scenes, then this anime is actually quite enjoyable. This anime features diclonius, a type of mutant human with two horns, living amongst human beings. They are constantly shunned because of the unusual appearance and abilities. They have invisible arms called ‘vectors’ that …

Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is one of the most popular cartoons made by Warner Brothers. I doubt if anyone has not heard or never even watched this series. This is a total fun ride for half an hour. IT has some small 5-10 minutes fast paced cartoon stories, that are …
Movie 12 Monkeys
12 Monkeys is a science fiction movie directed by Terry Gilliam and written by David and Janet Peoples. It was released on December 29, 1995 with a total worldwide gross of $168 million. This is a nice time travel movie involving schizophrenia and saving mankind.
Bruce Willis as James …
ConAir (1997)
This movie, though with some violent scenes, for me, is one of my ‘feel good movies’ I can brag about having seen. The good guys in this movie, Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) and US Marshall Vince Larkin (John Cusack) did a very good job. I am also very …
Sliding doors movie
Sliding doors is definitely a different movie and I really liked it for it’s innovative taking. The movie has two stories which shows the two prospects of life of the protagonist after a particular incident. Gwyneth Paltrow played the role of the protagonist. But the climaxes of both the …
Torture
Torture was directed by Nolan H. Lebovitz. It stars Cole Hauser, Laurence Fishburne, and James Cromwell. It came out on video in 2008. It is a crime and suspense movie.
The plot is about an undercover FBI agent (Cole Hauser) and what he is forced to do in the line …
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …
The Ramen Girl movie
I wasn’t expecting much from the movie The Ramen Girl simply because I’m not a huge Brittany Murphy fan. But, I will admit, it turned out to be better than expected.
Murphy is convincing as a woman who travels to Japan to be with her boyfriend and, after getting dumped …
Suicide Kings movie
Suicide Kings is a 1997 thriller movie starring Christopher Walken as a mafia boss who is kidnapped by a group of college students, also stars Dennis Leary as a man working for the kidnapped mafia boss. The film is sort of cool and unique because it shows how a …
102 Dalmations movie
I watched the movie 102 Dalmations years ago when I just went into high school. Therefore, since I was about eleven or twelve at the time it was released I had not yet lost my interest in watching Disney animation like that especially since I used to watch various …
The First Wives Club Movie
The First Wives Club is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The first time I saw the movie I was young, so I did not grasp the significance of both cast and the plot as a whole, but now that I am older it is one of the …
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Well, I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I did like his Robin Hoods Prince of Thieves movie when it first came out so I figured I would take the time to watch it again yesterday.
It still is one of the better Robin Hood movies I’ve watched but …
Batteries Not Included
If you guys were disappointed with the recent Disney Movie Wall-E, and still want a good movie with robot type creatures, Batteries Not Included is for you ! It’s not an animated flick, but it’s so good. It’s a movie from 1987, where they had to rely on acting …
The Shop on Main Street
The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …
Marley & Me (2008)
This movie starts off simple enough with a newly married couple finding their way in the world, firstly by moving to a newer, warmer city, finding jobs and then finding a place to call home. Everything was going well, that was until talks of a baby came up and …
Spice And Wolf Episode 2 (Anime)
Spice and Wolf Episode 2 begins with Holo and Lawrence travelling and staying at church. There, Lawrence meets a man named Zeelen, who offers them a business deal.
This episode is very good, although it is very dialogue heavy and not a lot happens. Still, the dialogue …
Movie Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond films I’ve seen, Casino Royale is by far the worst.
First, Daniel Craig can’t fill even George Lazenby’s shoes when it comes to the role. He’s not handsome. He’s not charming and he’s not James Bond.
The movie itself was even more of a problem. …
Netflix
NetFlix is an awesome way to watch the movies you are interested in. I became a customer several years ago when a girlfriend of mine recommended it. I was at her house, and asked what the red and white envelopes were on her kitchen table. She explained everything about …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …
Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
“Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous” is the sequel of the great funny movie “Miss Congeniality”. Sandra Bullock returns to the big screen after an absence of 5 years from interpreting the role of Special Agent Gracie Hart. Although most reviews give a positive comment about this movie, I …

Wayne’s World
I gotta say that Wayne’s World is a pretty good movie. It is one of my best memories of the past. I think the movie was really funny and very crazy. I think Wayne was a very funny character. The movie Wayne’s World really captured the essence of what the …
Movie: BioDome
Synopsis: Two underachievers break into a bio dome and are locked in for one year.

Serenity movie
In 2005, fan encouragement resulted in this movie called Serenity. It was a follow up to the science fiction series Firefly. Now, I’ve only seen a couple of episode of Firefly. It just didn’t grab me at the time, so I’m a bit behind the story when …
