Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …
RomeoXJuliet TV Anime Series
RomeoXJuliet is an anime that is loosely based off The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. It takes the basic elements of the original story and turns it into something unique that you can only find in an anime, but it still retains the core theme …
Public Enemies
Public Enemies is one of the best made movies I’ve seen in a long time. It tells the parallel stories of John Dillinger on his rise to bank-robbing fame, and the G-Men whose job it was to take him down. Christian Bale and Johnny Depp deliver …
Joshua Movie
Joshua, filmed in 2002, gives a rather non-traditional account of a (possible) second coming of Christ. A friendly and mysterious stranger comes to a small town and rents a barn to live and work in. Nobody knows who he is or where he is from, only that his name …
Ultraviolet (2006)- DVD
2006’s Ultraviolet has an awesome concept. A virus has been discovered that alter humans who are affected by it and transforms them into enhanced beings, which way later on in the film you find out are supposed to be vampires. These affected people are considered outcasts. These “enhanced” humans …
Robots movie
I first saw Robots when it came out at the theater and instantly fell in love with it. You can’t go wrong when Robin Williams voices one of the main characters, especially when you back it up with lots of color and a unique plot.
The movie takes place on …
Batman Begins
This is the first batman movie that had all the ideals of Batman character. It is fantastic movie. I liked it a lot. If you really want to know about batman go and watch this movie. It shows how a rich boy comes to street and then becomes batman …
Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (R, 1992) movie
I really didn’t think I’d be watching this movie more than a decade after it was released. And I’m kind of sorry that I did. The girl playing Chantel was attractive and authentic enough. And even the storyline was pretty authentic. I didn’t …
The Town Went Wild movie
The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …
The Matrix Revolutions movie
Oh yes…it is a Trilogy. Every body wants to make a trilogy. As if the first two weren’t enough, now we must sit through another long winded three and a half hour movie with the clueless saviour of all. Need I say anymore. Action, storyline, dialogue, monologue…the same as …
The Duke Is Tops movie
From 1938, The Duke Is Tops is a film that features an all black cast, and what I like about it is that race isn’t really a part of this picture. This movie could have had any cast. These performers talked normally, performed normally, and just acted …

Wrong Turn 2
I’m going to open this review with a plea to Hollywood. The next time you make a horror film, please make an effort to scare me. Don’t cut corners and produce a film that goes out of its way to show as much blood and gore as possible. That’s …
Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …
Sex and the City: The Movie
I have always been a Sex and The City fan and I was anxiously waiting for this movie to be released. Honestly, the story line is not that interesting. It’s quite an ordinary plot. However, as a Sex and The City fan, it’s always the other …
Dead Birds movie
“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …
Michael Jackson’s This Is It
I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …
Split (2017 Psychological Thriller Film)
The idea of watching a psychological film circling around different personalities inside a single person is potentially invigorating. After all the idea has never been done to death. That’s why I am earnestly hopeful that my first M. Night Shyamalan feature could fulfill the gap of films I missed in …
Dark City movie (1998)
(Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly)
This is probably one of the most visually stunning, thought-provoking pieces of entertainment I’ve seen in over 20 years. It was directed by Alex Proyas, who also directed —˜The Crow” a few years prior. His ability to express substance through his style …

High School Musical 3: Senior Year movie

Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
The Breed
While the movie The Breed isn’t one of the better scary movies I’ve watched, it still turned out to be a half way decent thriller and I would recommend taking the time to rent it.
The movie is about five college students who decide to spend a weekend on a …
Con Air
I must admit that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan, but this actor manages to get involved himself in very exciting movie projects that one cannot simply ignore. Apart from “The National Treasure” movies, one of my Cage’s movies is “Con Air”.
Why do I enjoy watching over and …
Iron Man
I just saw Iron Man in at the theater and I must say it’s one of the best super hero movies I’ve seen in a while. I was blown away by this movie. I just loved the acting and the script. I also really liked the storyline. They did a …
Next Door (UR, 2005) movie
Next Door is one weird film. If you like foreign cinema, you will like this movie. If you like foreign cinema with eroticism and suspense, then you will LOVE this movie. I will confess that I wasn’t sure exactly what was going on at first. …

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 …
Fifteen and pregnant
I do not know where I have been, but I was watching lifetime the other day which I absolutly adore especially for there made for tv movies. I noticed a movie from 1998 called Fifteen and pregnant. I went on to read the description and it caught my attention …
Zoom
When the movie Zoom came out, it had two strikes against it in my opinion. First, it was about a bunch of kids with super powers; something that has been done way too many times in my opinion. Secondly, it starred Tim Allen. I like his stand up comedy. …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
Tell No One - (starring Kristin Scott Thomas)
How would one feel when the wife of a few years dead in a high-profile murder case suddenly sends a message indicating her existence? That’s more or less the plot of Tell No One, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Cluzet.
Margot is the name of the wife …

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, …
After Dark Horror Fest: Nightmare Man
Nightmare Man is an odd little horror movie that deserves to go straight to DVD. Thanks to the power of the After Dark Horror Fest though, it got a limited theatrical release before ending up on the video store shelves. I picked it up recently simply because I liked …
Django Unchained movie
I recently went to the cinema to see Django Unchained - having already seen the trailer, I was quite fascinated by it.

Friday the 13th Part 8

The story is about a street musician, and a kindred spirit, featuring a younger girl, who …
Man in the Iron Mask

Disturbing Behavior
One advantage of having a trial of ShowTime for the next three months is I get to see some movies I haven’t seen in a while. This included the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Even though the plot of the movie skips around a bit and is weak in some spots, I …
