Halloween (1978)
My wife and I have been watching the Rob Zombie re-makes of the films Halloween and Halloween II. Since we couldn’t remember anything about the original (she’s never seen it and it has been quite a few years since I last watched it), we figured we would rent the …
The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …
Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …
“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
Die Hard 4.0
Well…!!! I’m writing a review on a movie titled as Die Hard 4.0. Before i start of i would like to tell, without having any second thoughts “The movies rocks”.
The film begins when a guy working for the US govt. finds out that the infrastructure network its running …
“The Swimmer” movie
“The Swimmer” is a 1968 movie starring Burt Lancaster as the swimmer, Ned Merrill. Ned hasn’t been around recently though when the movie starts it isn’t clear where he’s been. However Ned doesn’t quite seem to be “quite right.” Ned appears unannounced at a friends house to swim in …
Pain and Gain Movie
The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …
Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
The perfect Sunday movie
Last Sunday lifetime movie network had a “the perfect sunday” event going on where they showed movies with the word “perfect” in them. Some of the movies that they played were perfect marriage, perfect neighbor, the perfect nanny, the perfect assistant. I watched some of the movies, I couldn’t …

Movie: The Pursuit of Happyness
“The Pursuit of Happyness” is a wonderful film, inspired by the true life story of Chris Garner, who managed to survive with his five-year-old son in early 1980s San Francisco while working his way through an unpaid six-month intership to become a stock broker.
Will Smith is spectacular as Chris, …

Movie Taxi Driver
Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver is probably not only one of his greatest film technically, but also artistically. The social comentary of the film is unsurpassed, which says a lot considering the vast number of social-commentary oriented films made during the 1970’s. Taxi Driver worked not only as a …
Coffee & Cigarettes movie
Jim Jarmusch is probably the most successful american independent filmmaker ever, with great films like Down by Law and Mystery Train on his record, and recently he decided to recreate his old classic short film series Coffee & Cigarettes in a full feature format, and add a number of …
Twilight Movie
My boyfriend and I went to go see Twilight at the movie theater. I talked him into going with me because all my friends were raving about the book series. I tried reading the book but it couldn’t hold my attention past the third page. So …
Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 1
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a franchise reboot of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime that came out in 2003-2004. While the original anime deviated from the manga story in the middle of the show because the manga was not finished, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood follows the manga story line much …

Sabrina
Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
The Final Destination 3D
I did not like this movie. This is the first 3D movie I have seen in years and I regret going to it. This movie is horrible compared to all the others. I had expected more.
The move started out ok. Just like all the others, there’s someone that ends …
Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
Song of the Gringo movie
Song of the Gringo from 1936 is actually Tex Ritter’s first movie role. He does a decent job as he enters the rank of the singing cowboy, which ruled the era in many ways. Being his first picture, he doesn’t have a sidekick and poor White Flash, …
Detachment (drama movie)
The film Detachment is a little different from the dramas that I’m used to watching, and this is why I liked it so much. It is its raw and gritty nature that attracts me to it, and the fact that it does nothing to conceal certain elements that are bordering …
“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …
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 …

MPAA Rating - Not Rated
Starring: David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger, Gaylen Ross
Dawn of the Dead (1978) is George A. Romero’s sequel to his classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead (1968). Romero ups the ante in this sequel, which may in fact be better than …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
The second installation in the National Treasure saga, this one doesn’t just pickup from where the last one left off, it has a soul for itself. This one takes you so far back in history that you will be amazed at what you missed out on in school.
Nicholas Cage …

This movie is about a federal agent who is most in touch with the environment and will stop at nothing to make sure that the world is a safe place to live and the drinking water is uncontaminated by greedy people who are only trying to make millions of …
The Stepford Wives (2004)
The new version of The Stepford Wives has its pluses and minuses, compared to the old 1975 movie. The plot is not only modernized but developed in several different directions, and so are some characters. Namely, Joanna Eberhart, the heroine, played by Nicole Kidman. She is a high TV …
Something The Lord Made (2004)
A movie about the man or men responsible for perfecting and performing the first open heart surgery on a human being, a baby in fact, the blue baby of the period in which this true story is based. This movie shows the attempts by man to properly conduct the …
The Secret - The Movie
I stumbled upon this website “by chance” and found a wonderful, life-changing (yes, at least for me) movie available either as a download ($4.95) or as a DVD ($29.95) that can be ordered. After viewing the impressive trailer, I ordered the DVD and anxiously waited for “the secret” to …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
National Velvet movie
National Velvet is a movie produced by Warner Brothersit is set in England and is about a twelve year old girl named Velvet Brown who loves horses. She meets a drifter named Mi Taylor who is played by Mickey Ronnie. Velvet convinces her family to let him stay with …
Darkness (horror movie)
I thought that I’d watched all the movies with Anna Paquin in it until I saw another one recently on cable television. It was a horror movie named “Darkness”, which I noticed didn’t have a very good rating on neither the cable television guide nor IMDB. Nevertheless, sometimes I …
Movie: Return of the Living Dead
I was in the mood for a good zombie movie this past weekend. Well, to be more accurate, I was in the mood for any zombie movie since I know finding a good one is kind of hard.
A few weeks ago, I had recorded the film Return of the …
Last Days movie
Gus Van Sant is next to Jim Jarmusch probably the most interesting american independent filmmaker from the last 15 to 20 years. Last Days is his film that apparently tells the story of the last days of legendary Nirvana-member Kurt Cobain. The autentic names and songs in the Cobains …
Movie: G-Force
Well, I finally got around to watching the movie G-Force with my oldest daughter last night; as I have been promising her I would do for some time now.
You know what, the movie really wasn’t worth the wait.
I will say the film did have some cute and funny moments. …
The Deaths of Ian Stone
I’m a huge SyFy junkie, so when I watched this movie a while back, The Many Deaths of Ian Stone, I was mystified and captivated. Of course, it’s a made-for-tv movie, so the special effects leave a lot to be desired, but as far as these movies go, it’s …
The Unborn (2009) movie
The Unborn, directed by David S. Goyer and starring Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, and Meagan Good is a movie with a lot of scary visuals. The story concerns a young woman named Casey. She finds herself haunted by strange dreams of a malevolent child. When she begins to see …
The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …
In the Mood For love movie
Wong Kar-Wai’s blistering masterpiece about two couples moving in next to each other in an apartment house. The husband, respectively the wife in each couple are never shown. The husband that is shown finds out his wife is having a secret affair with the neighbour, and he seeks contact …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …
Limitless, movie
What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …
DVD Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?
Warning: You may want to take an aspirin before reading this review.
In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …
BoogeyMan movie
BoogeyMan is an OK movie. I think the reason so many people watched it and liked it was because we all used to believe in the BoogeyMan at one time in our life. This is what made me think this movie was going to be scary. The preview also made …
Homeless To Harvard: The Liz Murray Story
Homeless To Harvard: The Liz Murray Story is beautifully acted by Thora Birch. Liz Murray is a real, live person who was born into an impoverished, drug addicted family and yet this amazing young woman ended up with a full scholarship from The New York Times to attend Harvard. …
A kidnapping in the family
This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …
