House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …

Where do you get your inspiration in anything? The movie “Music and Lyrics” tries to answer that question, and in this case, for a song.
The movie tells the story of Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a ‘has-been’ 80’s pop star who’s trying to revive his career. The chance comes when …

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 …
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011 science fiction movie)
I actually delayed watching this movie for years for two reasons. The first was that I honestly didn’t think that it would be very good. I mean, how could a film about the other set of primates be that interesting? The second reason was that I’m slightly afraid of those …

G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Movie
I’m not really a fan of G.I Joe stuff but when I saw the movie G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra on HBO, I was kind of impressed. Not with the story though, but with the movie effects.
G.I Joe is a group of really special and top military men …

The Exorcist 3
I am reviewing the movie, The Exorcist 3, starring George C. Scott and Jason Miller. It is a sequel to The Exorcist and The Exorcist 2. The Exorcist was excellent, but the second one was ridiculous. With this in mind, I didn’t expect much from the third …
Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
Movie : Shutter Island
My wife has been wanting to see the movie Shutter Island for some time now. So, for our anniversary this past weekend, I decided to take her to the theater to see it.

Untraceable Movie
I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …
Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
Jonah Hex movie
I just saw Jonah Hex, and my exact thoughts of seeing the movie: “what the?” Jonah Hex is one of those movies where almost all things predictable culminates. The story is about (guess who?) Jonah Hex, a soldier accused of betraying his regimen and killing Jeb Turnbull, his best …
Charlie’s Angels
I must give credit to Drew Barrymore for bringing to the big screen “Charlie’s Angels” with the girls not using firearms but instead using martial arts to defend themselves. The angels Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz had to undergo 3 months martial arts training …
Addicted To Love movie
“Addicted to Love” is all about the actors, Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick going wild with revenge. Although this is a romantic comedy, Ryan chose to interpret a different character then the usual ‘nice girl from next door’.

You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail (1998) Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a classic meg flick. She’s at her usual, quirky best; off beat and fun.
Hanks also known for his romantic comedies, mostly co-starring along side Meg; this movie won’t disappoint you.
You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …
Santa with Muscles-film
I recently watched a comedy oriented Christmas film called santa with muscles starring the wrestler Hulk Hogan. Movies with Hulk Hogan as a lead are not too good and have average appeal.However,this film is a shame to the rest of Hogan’s movies. It was basically about a rich dude who …

Movie The Pursuit of Happiness
When I first saw previews to the Pursuit of Happiness, I figured it was going to be a tear jerker but would ultimately be a boring film. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …

George Lopez: America’s Mexican

Movie: “Brokeback Mountain”
Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain is a masterpiece that lingers with you long after the movie is over. I had read Annie Proulx’ short story of the same name four times before the movie reached my area. I’d been reading reviews since it was first released December 9, …

I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …
Powder Movie
“Powder” is one of the worth watching movies I ever watched. The story is very emotional and sensational. Direction, Cast and crew and the other supports have done their duty well.
Here I mention the story in brief to give an idea about the film.
A pregnant woman was attacked and …
500 Days of Summer (2009) Movie
When I saw Inception, I was really thinking about the actor who played Arthur. I really thought so hard until I remembered that he was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the guy who was in the movie, 500 Days of Summer.
I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …
Breakfast in Hollywood movie
Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.
The …
