Miami Vice (2006)
Don’t rent or buy this movie if you’re expecting to see a big screen version of “Miami Vice” that mirrors the slick coolness of the television show it is based upon. Colin Farrell, as Detective Sonny Crockett, doesn’t come anywhere close to having Don Johnson’s rakish swagger. …

Cowboys And Aliens movie
Hopefully you have loving friends and/or family members who have already warned you to stay away from this epic abomination, but in case you don’t-or if you are actually an adult considering seeing a movie whose very title screams “AWFUL!” louder than an atomic blast-DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. …
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)
I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …
Dark Ride movie
Cast: Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Cathy), Patrick Renna (Bill), David Clayton Rogers (Steve), Alex Solowitz (Jim), Andrea Bogart (Jen), Jennifer Tiisdale (Liz), Dave Warden (Jonah)
This has got to be one of the most inane movies I’ve ever seen. So maddening that I was hoping the murderer would do …

Doubt movie
In the face of progressive change, how much does compassion figure in long-established doctrine and discipline? This seems to be the question that is initially asked the audience upon watching “Doubt”, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning period stage play by John Patrick Shanley, but as …
Baron Davis
Golden State Warriors starting Point Guard Spot belongs to the dynamic Baron Davis. I’ve been a fan of the league the last 15 years and one of my all time favorite players to watch is Baron Davis. He is very explosive and can score on a variety of ways. …
Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I first watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” when I was about seven years old and I’ve been hooked since. I just watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” this evening for about the 50th time.
This movie is a classic for people of all ages. In …
The Lifeguard (2013 Film)
I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I had to watch it, because I was a child in the nineties and was interested in the x-men cartoons and the movies when they came out. I also thought that the trailers made the movie seem amazing and that …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …

A twisted story about two fallen angels who want back into heaven, but their method of their return will make the history that has been solidified over the years seem pointless. In order to stop their campaign, a host of both angels and mortals are teamed together to bring …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …

Dazed and Confused movie
Over the years, I have seen a lot of these types of films, and yet, I think one of the best coming of age movies was the film “Dazed and Confused” which was released in nineteen ninety three. At first, I used to wonder what the name of the …
The Dark Knight
I’m not fan of Batman and I watched this movie because it’s rated as 5 star in CinemaOnline (Malaysia) website. I even couldn’t remember the previous Batman movie.

Movie: Tremors 3
I finally got a chance to sit down and relax about 8 last night and, while flipping channels, came across a movie I haven’t seen in a while; Tremors 3.
This movie, which is of course, the third movie in the Tremors series, isn’t anywhere near as good as the …

Pan’s Labyrinth

The fairy tale line is about …

Hostel (movie)
When we started watching the movie Hostel last night, we thought we were going to get a good thriller. What we got was a bad porn film pretending to be a scary movie.
The movie, which is supposed to be about three Americans traveling in Europe who end up getting …
Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
What Would Jesus Buy
The most pervasive sin in our society isn’t lust, far from it in fact which is why it’s so easy for us to see, but far more dangerous to our society are greed and gluttony, and driving to that point in a humorous and profound way is What Would …

Kissing a fool
I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …
Interview with a Vampire (Movie)
Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
One of the first movies I loaded on my Netflix player when I bought it was the film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I didn’t think I would like it but it sounded like it would be different and I figured it would eventually be worth a try.
We ended up …
Disturbia
I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …
George of the Jungle movie
This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.
Basically a spoof of Tarzan, Fraser plays George, a young child abandoned in the jungle and raised by apes. He’s not too bright and is very clumbsy but has a good heart …
Pauly Shore is Dead Movie
Pauly Shore is Dead is Pauly Shore’s first movie since the lamentable Jury Duty. Meant to be a comedic satire and a lament about the state of Hollywood in destroying Pauly Shore’s career (Shore is unable to accept that it is own lack of talent that is the …
Superman Doomsday
Let me start off by saying…”One of the best Superman Movies animated or not ever made”. I have always been of the opinion that Superman’s portrayed character is so lame, why is he called “Superman” in the first place. He always seems to get the tar beat out of …
Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell is such a lovable movie that I really love to watch no matter how my friends label me as kiddish and all that. The voice of Tinker Bell was done by Mae Whitman and this storyline is quite charming, actually.
Tinker’s friends’ voice-overs are also awesome …
Click
I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …
The Dark Knight
In the months leading up to The Dark Knight, I had heard so much about the film from people who love Batman saying things like “this is the way batman is supposed to be” and that “Chris Nolan is one of the best movie makers around”. Needless to say …
Life of Pi Movie
“Life of Pi” is an enormously successful tale; and very visually appealing I think. The film is based on the global best-selling book of how a teenager drifts over the Pacific Ocean with a tiger. The two become captive in the lifeboat after the film’s vivid beginning. …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
