In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …
After Earth (2013, Movie)
When I heard about this movie, a science-fiction, with Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, I thought it was gonna be a good film, due to previous movies in which Will Smith played. For me, personally, it was a disappointment, and here is why…
First of all, the movie …
Godzilla Raids Again

The Pursuit of Happyness
I’m not really a big fan of Will Smith but I must admit he gives the performance of his career in this movie (even better than his portrayal of Ali). He was worthy of the Oscar nomination he received. I was in tears for most of the film. Directed …
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Rated R

Goodfellas
Goodfellas is a very funny yet violent movie. I think the humor in it was just great. This is a mobster movie, and Joe Pesci is of course in it. Joe Pesci was great and did a good job of acting in the movie. Overall the cast was really 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 …
Blood Diamond
I am quiet aware that this movie was released last year but i really love this movie! I watched it about 10 times. I could see your expression now, one of amazement 10 TIMES, yes 10 times.
The reason why i liked the movie son much because it opened up …
Doubt (PG13, 2008)
I have been skipping over Doubt on my Netflix list, because quite frankly, I couldn’t tell what the movie was about. And when I looked at the synopsis, I couldn’t really get a grip on the gist of the film. It seemed like some kind of …
Film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Truly one of the most innovative films of the 1980’s, I don’t believe that anyone truly expected what this film was before they witnessed it.
I remember seeing it at the theater when I was around nine years old. I’d seen the advertisements, and while it sure did seem different …
Final Destination Movie
“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.
The movie is about a …

Black Dog
Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …
The Bucket List
I cried when I watched The Bucket List before. It starred Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and it saddened me to know that these 2 characters are facing death since they are terminated with cancer.
And due to that, they have a chance to obtain a friendship of a lifetime …
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Spy Comedy Movie)
Before I was able to watch the 2015 movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I admit that I didn’t have much of an idea what it was going to be about. The only thing I knew about it was that it was supposed to be based on a spy series that …

The Land Before Time is a very nice yet sad movie. I was pretty young when I saw this movie, and I think It was very sad. The whole story is about a bunch of Dinosaurs who a little kids going through a big journey to find a special place. …
Terminator Salvation DVD

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, movie
I never knew that the story was based on a book written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I got to know about this movie from a friend who was studying Mass Media. I always watch movies when I am alone so that I do not get distracted and because I …
The Wedding Planner
In the DVD movie I’ve watched, The Wedding Planner, it starred the unlikely duo; Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey.
Jennifer’s character plays a pretty successful wedding planner and I really like her witty dialogs. Though you might be wondering that perhaps Jennifer and Matthew’s characters wouldn’t fit together …

Congo movie (1995)
Killer Gorillas. No such thing, right? Maybe. Maybe not. For years, there have been stories of ancient civilizations that are long gone from this world, that used to use animals as guards for their massive treasures. Whether or not they were …
Nancy Drew
Nancy Drew, the movie is not quite there yet, personally to me. I watch this movie with my boyfriend just a couple of days ago, and I feel that this movie is like the start of a new franchise, but failing miserably.
The movie is crisply put together and …

We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens. It was the 1985 mini-series version starring Diana Rigg as Lady Deadlock and Denholm Elliott as John Jarndyce, the kind-hearted gentleman entangled in a terrible, …
Movie Legend
I am reviewing the movie called Legend. It stars Tom Cruise(Jack), Mia Sara(Lilly), and Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness.
The story is about good and evil competing against each other: a classic. A movie about a young girl’s innocence.
I think of this as a childrens’ movie but …
Fools Gold movie
It seems whenever an idea for a movie has some success, there are a bunch of other movies ready to copy that success by keeping roughly the same plot, just a few minor changes.
Fool’s Gold is a good example of this. While not a terrible movie, the idea of …

The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …

Thanks to TBS I was able to watch “Juno” for the first time. I’m happy this movie finally made it to cable television.

The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …

Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
Movie: The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender is a movie I would not pay for to see again. However, that doesn’t mean it was necessarily a bad movie. The effects were dead on, the casting was great, and the accuracy to the cartoon wasn’t bad either.
However, it was not long enough, and …
Neurotic Detective
I am reviewing The Case of the Neurotic Detective, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
