Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.

Someone Like You movie
“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …

Nicktoons Halloween

The Hurt Locker movie
It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …

Movie AVP
I recently saw this movie for the first time and truthfully I didn’t like it very much at all. In case you don’t know, “AVP” stands for “Alien Versus Predator”. I did remember the alien from the Alien series of films, but I didn’t recall the Predator at all. …
The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Grindhouse
Grindhouse had to be one of the most disappointing movies I have ever witnessed. This is not because the film was awful, just that it was (for lack of a better word) a firmly average film that did not really offer anything new to the horror genre. The idea …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …

Hocus Pocus movie
“Hocus Pocus” was possibly one of the most popular and well made Disney original movies I ever remember watching from when I was a child to now that I’m an adult. One might recognize a few famous faces in it too such as Sarah Jessica Parker the actress who …

Without A paddle
This is a great movie for a day that you want to just kick your feet back and relax, maybe laugh a little. It was really funny in some parts, other parts were just ok funny. I really enjoyed watching it, and bought the movie. I would watch it …
The City of Ember
I’ve watch this movie just now. Well, it’s trully movies for teenage and below. Not a good action adventure movies as i imagine before. This movie is taken from Jeanne DuPrau in 2003, about the human evolution that makes the world is not safe anymore, so human must stay …
Things We Lost in the Fire
The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …

Ogre movie
We ended up watching a DVD last night of a movie that originally aired on the Sci Fi Channel last year; Ogre.
When we got the DVD, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It looked like it would be a somewhat crappy movie that would rely heavily on blood and …
Why You Were Sleeping
Oh how I love Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman in this movie ! I love how it shows her being miserable and alone and how she has the not so glamorous job as a ticket taker for the subway in new york. It’s such a pitiful job and I …

Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
Robots Movie
This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …
Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Playing an airman that has a personality …
Movie UP
Brilliant; refreshing; fun for the whole family. Need I say more?
Disney & Pixar Animation Studios have out done themselves yet again. Packed with adventure, GOOD moral values, and family friendly humor, this movie easily captivates one’s imagination. Most importantly, however, not only will the children be entertained, but the …

I’m not really a huge Arnold Schwartzenegger fan, but I do love his movie True Lies.

The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …
The Maltese Falcon
I have seen dozens of mysteries but none of them compare to the movie The Maltese Falcon. Even though the movie was made 34 years before I was born, it is still the best murder mystery ever.
Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the detective Sam Spade. There’s nothing to not …
Inception Movie
Inception has climbed to charts as #3 on imbd top 250 movies of all time. According to the majority vote, Inception is more popular then the amazing, and mind blowing “The Godfather Part II”. Now why is this film so good?

Aliens
Females kick butt in this 1985 follow-up to the eerie and moody Ridley Scott classic Alien. James Cameron was at the helm of this production and wisely tried to stay clear from making a carbon copy of Scott’s cult film, deciding to go for a full out action film …
Movie Alvin and the Chipmunks the squeakal
I took my kids to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks the squeakal when it opened on December 22nd. I knew that my kids wanted to see it, but I prepared myself to be disappointed. I really thought the first one was cute, and I am used to the …

“Playing House” (2006 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
This Lifetime Movie Network film which came out in 2006 starring Colin Ferguson and Joanne Kelly called “Playing House”, was sweet, but not exactly entertaining. The film was very predictable and common, something that I felt was seen in many movies before it but the stories were told in …
Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …
Anthony Kaun Hai (movie) August, 2006
The movie Anthony Kaun Hai released on 4th of August, 2006. The meaning if the title of the film is Who Is Anthony in English. The movie has been directed by Raj Kaushal. It is a pretty stupid and complicating film. The lead actors of the film are Sanjay …
Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …
The Daughters of Joshua Cabe movie
I love The Daughters of Joshua Cabe. It was inventive and fun and a huge pleasure to watch. It’s a lighthearted western that while predicable is highly entertaining.
Buddy Ebsen is Joshua Cabe, and he needs family fast to protect his land, which under new homesteading laws is …
