The Grey (movie)
Recently I have found it to be more challenging to find suspense and thriller movies that I genuinely love that are set in some form of real life situations. What I ended up doing recently since I felt the urge to watch one was read a blog entry which …
Prom Night (Movie)
This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …

F/X, 1986 movie
F/X, 1986, starring, Bryan Brown, Brian Dennehy. Very suspensful movie here. From way back in 1986, this thriller is still great to watch. Special effects master, played by Bryan Brown (also starred in cocktail), is hired by the feds to help fake the assassination of a mob godfather. …
Soul Survivors Movie
Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …
Fracture
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 …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
Zack And Miri Make A Porno movie
This 2008 film was written and directed by Kevin Smith, and stars Seth Rogan and the cast of some of Smith’s other movies. I didn’t expect much from this, I saw it because I like almost all of Smith’s movies, the plot is about 2 roommates who can’t pay …
Stargate
Since the dawn of movie making, there have always been a few actors that take weird, off the wall, ecentric roles instead of traditional leading men or leading lady roles. Such is true with current Boston Legal actor, James Spader. He appeared in a great 1994 film called Stargate …
“Fanboys” Motion Picture
I did enjoy this movie which shocked me. I am not a fan of comic books, nerds, star wars etc which is the main target audience for this film but I saw a preview for it and it looked funny. About 20 minutes in I almost turned …
Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …
Walk The Line movie
This is a 2005 biography film about Johnny Cash, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. The film starts from Cash’s early childhood, and progresses throughout his life, telling an interesting story that I thought I knew already, I found out I knew …
The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
Kingdom of Heaven movie
“Kingdom of Heaven” was the second film, a part from the lord of the rings trilogy in which I can remember watching the actor Orlando Bloom in the year 2005. At the time that the movie was released, I didn’t go to see it in theatres because I was …
The Notebook
For all those who enjoy watching romance movies, they must not miss out in watching “The Notebook”. This movie has a great story to tell about love and commitment that will keep you hooked watching it till the end.
What is interesting about this movie is that the two young …
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998)
You will not have to worry about entertaining the little ones while watching this movie as, similar to that of a cartoon, this movie will have them pinned down for a good while watching utter rubbish as the usually watch on a daily basis. Do not worry about trying …

Movie The Devils
The Devils is a film from long ago that involves the murder of a Catholic priest. This priest, Father Grandier, is supposedly one of the witches and he subsequently pout through all the horrible things that witches were at that point in time. This was a time of hysteria …
DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008) Movie
I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.
All …
The Gods Must Be Crazy Movie
Excellent movie series,which everyone should watch, just completely loved it. Its humorous and also has a message at the same time,and is a complete fun to watch. It compares life of tribal’s living in the Kalahari Dessert to that of people living in a big city, It has …
Dallas Buyers Club, movie
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is living to its expectations. I’ve just finished watching the powerful story about a subject often considered delicate.
And who would have thought that Matthew McConaughey, the buffed blond playboy with southern accent, will be the man to make …
Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …
The Tourist movie
This movie is about Angelina Jolie going to Europe and a lot of men watching. Men who repeatedly insisted to call her Elise Ward. I never understood why, the film is about Angelina Jolie that goes to and through Europe and the following are watching her: French police, the …
Shiver (NR, 2008) film
Those who like horror films that have a creepy subtlety will absolutely love this film. Yes, it’s a foreign film with subtitles. But that doesn’t make any of the action in this movie less frightening. The story centers on a boy who moves to …
The House Bunny Movie
When I saw the trailer for this I immediately wanted to watch it, it features Anna Faris as a Playboy Bunny and even as a girl, I was really excited to watch this because it’s a typical girly movie which features sexy girls and fashion and shopping! Rumer Willis …
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I picked up the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a movie that I figured would be halfway entertaining but would lack when compared to other X-Men films. It turns out it was one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine, a mutant with the ability …
The Master of Disguise (2002)
The Master of Disguise, directed by Perry Andelin Blake is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for mild language and some crude humor. The original release data was August 2, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Family and stars Dana …
Ant-Man, 2015 Action, Science Fiction Movie
Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …
“The Avengers” (2012 film)
I went to see “The Avengers” with mixed expectations-I saw it in 3D, and was prepared for lots of the visual spectacle you would hope for from a superhero blockbuster. But the last film I saw in 3D was “Avatar,” which is a case study on how stunning visuals …
Alice in Wonderland (2010 Film)
Everyone is familiar with the Disney cartoon of “Alice in Wonderland”, however, many might wonder what happened to Alice after she returned from Wonderland. In the modern take of Alice, viewers can find out in the 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland”. While this film has the same name as …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
Toy Story
Toy Story is a very coll story about toys. The main characters are Woody and Buzz Light Year. I think that the 3D animation done in this movie was really cool! This was one of the first movies I saw done this way. And I really liked the whole 3D …
Vacancy (R, 2007) movie
This is one of the few films that I had actually planned to see in theatres. I never made it before it went to DVD. But upon renting it, I realize that I would have enjoyed the theatrical experience just as much as watching it at home. …
Cloverfield (2008)
Cloverfield takes place in New York City. The story is that a video camera was found at a “ground zero” site, somewhere near Central Park. On the camera, you begin to see a movie as you would watching a home video. Eventually, after an introduction to the movie to …
Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
Breakin All The Rules Movie
Breakin all the rules
This movie is basically about how the wrong people are in relationships together and then they eventually get with their soulmate or so it seems. That was my interpretation of it but i am sure if someone else watched it, they will say another story. Why? …
Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is one of the most popular cartoons made by Warner Brothers. I doubt if anyone has not heard or never even watched this series. This is a total fun ride for half an hour. IT has some small 5-10 minutes fast paced cartoon stories, that are …
Countess Dracula
We recently bought the movie Countess Dracula on the budget rack of our local department store. It was one of those movies you could buy really cheap and even have a second feature at the same time. For that reason, we didn’t think it was going to be any …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
Uncommon Valor movie
In the early 80’s, I remember watching this movie about Marines going on some kind of special meeting. This was one of those movies that used to air a lot on late night television, long before cable came about for most of us. I loved the movie …
Tooth & Nail, horror film by Mark Young
How can a cliché post-apocalyptic movie even be considered a horror movie? Did the After Dark Horror Fest standards changed when the second batch of movies were released? Tooth & Nail is by no means a real horror movie, not even familiar faces can save this movie.
A group …
All That Jazz movie
All That Jazz is the story of the great choreographer, Bob Fosse. There is absolutely no doubt about just how talented Fosse was, but his personal life was full of trauma and personal problems. That’s how it often is for really great talents. Like Fosse, though, …
Orlando movie
Orlando, 1992, is one strange movie. Orlando, a young nobleman and poet in 16th century England, is told by Queen Elizabeth I to never grow old and never die. He does exactly that - and more. Not only he goes on living through centuries without aging a day, at …
The Other Boleyn Girl
I just finished watching this movie with my mom and brother. It was a nice movie, a bit longer than what we expected. The movie characters are great; they played very well and with the right emotions to what they are there for. I have read the stories about …
Tamara [DVD], horror movie
Oh great a horror movie from Lions Gate that has a hot leading lady, trendy music, and enough promised gore to make a seventeen year old boy jump for joy. This has got to be a classic Halloween movie that will stay in our collections forever. Oh wait never …
