Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …

Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.
This animated Madagascar has never failed to amaze me. First it was …

Last week when I go visit to my friend’s house, he told me about great movie that he ever watched, then I ask him the title, he doesn’t said anything, he wake up from his couch and get the movie, then he asked me to watched it myself. I …

I can still recall sitting in a packed cinema in 2006. Laughing uncontrollably at the hilarious antics of actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s infamous character Borat. So naturally I had hopes for Cohen’s new movie centred on gay Austrian model Bruno.
The opening scenes of Bruno shocked me. Yes, …

I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the other day with my whole bunch of friends and it was a very good movie. I love everything about this movie, even though it’s a guy type of movie. The action sequences are not bad, there are lots of humor …

Labor Day is a film that I was eager to watch after seeing the many trailers on TV. I’m not one for chick flicks or too many sad love stories that don’t end too well. But Labor Day? This movie is what I would call a suitable love story …

I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …

You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …

Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Hal Delrich, and Theresa Tilly.

Launching Sam Raimi’s career, The Evil Dead is a weird mixture of gore, horror, and comedy; not exactly in the same vein as something such as RoboCop, that’s an entirely different animal of a film. …

The Scream trilogy that was hugely successful in the late 90’s and early 2000’s makes its much anticipated return to the big screen. Sydney Prescott, now a best selling author returns to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour on 10th anniversary of the last string of …

I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …

From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …

Captain America . Thor. Iron Man . Hulk. These are characters that I grew up with and whose films I had fun with and I have always looked forward to. What happens when all these characters fall into one and the same mixture? A true epic! Marvel’s production “The …

I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …

When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …

Cinema Paradiso is a beautiful, foreign film about a boy who changes the way that movies are seen in his little town. There is a theater where people go to watch movies but there are no sexual scenes, no nudity, no foul language and no kisses given. In fact, …

Maybe Logic is a documentary on the life and thought of Robert Anton Wilson. Wilson is best known for his “Illuminatus Trilogy” written with Robert Shea (The Illuminatus Trilogy was, prior to watching this documentary, my only contact with the work of the man).
The documentary is really quite …

The The Re-Animator is a twisted and very gory movie. This movie shows you what classic horror was all about. It has death, zombies, and very crazy experiments done in the The Re-Animator’s lab. The movie has a very spooky and sad feel to it. You get the feeling …

Robin Williams and Sally Field star in Mrs. Doubtfire. This movie is so comical it will keep you laughing for days. It is about a man and woman that get a divorce over the man always loosing his job and spoiling the kids. When Daniels ex-wife decides to hire …

The best thing this movie had going for it was the cast. Top rated actors putting on exceptionally fine performances kept this movie from being confused with its contemporary counterpart. The Prestige. Edward Norton always does well, no matter what role he plays. He is what I call an …

If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …

The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …

Recently I visited the local artsy video store and rented the DVD “Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg” It is a Swedish film in Swedish, but much of it was in German with English subtitles. Directed by Kjell Grede and released in 1990.
I was extremely impressed by it. I must confess …

Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively). I absolutely love this series …

I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …

He may not be that into you, but I was completely “into” this movie. An adorable adaptation from the book, this die-hard chick flick follows the love lives (with all their ups and downs) of several hapless singles. He loves her, but she loves the other guy, who’s married …

Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
