Save the last dance movie
I admit at the moment I am watching a bit of old teen movies mixed with the more recent ones. I can’t help but compare “Save the last dance 1″ with the more recent movie “Step Up 1″. I personally enjoyed watching more “Save the last dance” than “Step …
A night in the museum
Well, this movie is fascinating. It’s a different story altogather but the plot is not different or a good one. It starts like, there is a man who is sort of jobless and is having troubles. His son wants to emulate someone else and not him. The man wants …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)
Oliver Twist is 2005 Crime and drama movie directed by Roman Polanski, which is based on a novel. I had read the novel a few years ago, and I truly loved it, and wanted to see the story in action, and played by real characters. The story of the …
Music and Lyrics Movie
I have always liked Hugh Grant’s self deprecating, “am I sure this is where I should be?” persona that he brings to the characters he plays. That is not to say that he is a character actor, he seems to play the same person in every film, but …
The War Room documentary
Let us face it: Professional Managers with respect to Presidential campaigns have suffered from bad reputations: I think similar to “Buy Here —“ Pay Here” car lot salesmen; or even ambulance chasers. Their respective images were made worse by the book: “The Selling of the President …
Juno
I had a friend recently recommend the movie Juno to me. From the trailers, the movie didn’t really stand out to me, and I probably wouldn’t have realized it existed if not for this friend. That is all beside the point, however, because I’m very glad I …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
The Day after Tomorrow Movie

Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …
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. …

Spring Breakdown
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …
The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …
The Book of Eli (2010) movie
I’m a big fan of any movie with Denzel Washington in it and this one lived up to what I expected exactly.

Dreamgirls
I give this movie five stars. After leaving the theater, I wiped the tears out of my eyes and headed to the nearest place I could buy the soundtrack. Don’t mistake me, this is not a sappy movie, but it does pull on your emotions. After a month of …
Stepmom (1998)
The focus of this movie is about a recently divorced couple and the heart aching task they go through in order to keep their children happy in the face of the terrible period in their lives. This is not made easier by the fact that the husband Luke, played …

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is the sequel to the critically and commercially successful movie, Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock played the lead role in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous as well but the movie fails to impress the viewers who have expectations from the …
The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …

Let The Right One In is a film I have been wanting to see for quite awhile. Horror fans have been making their lists of their favorite genre film and more and more often you see this one popping up. Since the list is long of films …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
Movie - “The Unborn”
A lot of horror movies, especially in recent years, just don’t live up to the hype: “The Unborn” is an exception.

Aelita-Queen of Mars
A russian silent film made aside from the artistic works of the montage industry. The director of this film was a man named Yakov Protazanov, and the story of it is a lot more conventional than other russian films of the time, and doesn’t demand all that much of …

Penelope Movie (2006)
I had watched this last night on HBO and I was really surprised there was such a movie as this one, I haven’t really seen this movie when it was being shown in the theatres and I’m glad I had seen it last night. The show features a …
Shutter Island Movie (2010)
Who would have thought that Leonardo DiCaprio would be one of the greatest actors that would star in a lot of great blockbuster movies? One of these movies would be Shutter Island (2010). This was one of the best movies that I have seen DiCaprio in next to Inception. …
The Crow movie
The Dark Gothic film that claimed the life of Brandon Lee. One of my favorite movies of all time, as not everyday you see a corpse rising from the grave to right to wrongs done to him. Not a zombie type role either…but undead and kicking butt from corner …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …
Batman Begins (DVD)
After a full decade of substandard Batman movies finally the caped crusader has something to cheer about. And what a surprise, too! The sheer number of lukewarm reviews this movie received was enough to make me hesitate to see it. The only person I know who actually gave this …
Epic (movie)
One of the animated movies that I watched fairly recently was Epic. I must have seen the trailer advertise a million and one times and not show any interest in seeing it, before I finally yielded one day after one of my family members got the blu-ray version and …

The Passion of the Christ (2004 film)
The first time I watched The Passion of the Christ I had to skip parts or at times close my eyes because the graphic torture of Jesus was just too much to handle. The more I watched it however, the more I came to realize the …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …

Darkness Falls

Set in a town that once wrongfully executed a disfigured woman called “the tooth fairy.” The characters in the film must deal …
Ivan the Terrible movie
One of Sergei Eisenstein’s sound films, in which a historical epic about the ruthless emperor Ivan is told. It is a very powerful visual film, and Eisenstein puts all of his effort on effects, magnificent camerawork and a dynamic style of editing. All of this is a brilliant as …
Minstrel Man movie
Minstrel Man from 1944 really transports a person back to another generation when black face was the rage. It’s hard to believe that era existed, but it did, and many found it to be highly entertaining.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Untamed Heart
This is a movie to watch with a loved one: spouse or boy/girlfriend, because it can teach you something about relationships. It is the story of Caroline, a waitress, and Adam, a busboy. Caroline has bad luck with relationships, the busboy just doesn’t associate well with people, preferring to …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
