Flu Bird Horror movie
The movie Flu Bird Horror is in my top 20 list of one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen on television. Nevertheless, even though it is in that list, it is further down the bottom since unfortunately, I have seen worse bring broadcast on the …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
Runaway Bride
I had avoided watching the movie “Runaway Bride” for a very long time since it was released in the year nineteen nintey nine since I am not a fan of romance movies. Another reason is because I was about ten or eleven at the time it was released so …
The We and the I (movie)
I’ve had a special love for independent films for the longest time, especially when they’re done quite well. This is why I just had to see the movie “The We and the I” when I saw it on the cable guide fairly recently. Even though a lot of people …
Dr No movie
The very first 007-film starrs Sean Connery as the spectacular hero and the stunningly beautiful Ursula Andress as his lover (who appears very late in the film). James Bond goes to Jamaica to investigate the insane Dr No and prevent him from destroying the world. Dr No isn’t the …
Avatar (2009 film)
Any film with many disparate (though often impressive) elements and a lot of hype and money behind it is bound to create both ardent fans and ardent critics, and James Cameron’s sci-fi epic “Avatar” (which was also released in both 2 and 3D) is a prime example. There’s …
End of Days (Movie)
End of Days is a great movie that is about the apocalypse, and the 666. In the movie the main character which is “The Terminator” AKA Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has to stop the Anti-Christ from being born. The movie takes place in NY, where the devil is looking for …
Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
The Magnificent Seven Ride
The Magnificent Seven Ride with Lee Van Cleef, Michael Callan, and Stephanie Powers.
A sequel to the greatest western of all time plus the casting of Lee Van Cleef as the leader of this heroic group of cowboys made this a must see film. As a …
Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …
Bebe’s Kids
I was looking through one of the thrift stores in my local area and found one of the movies that I will always remember from my childhood and teenage years because of how different it was and a movie that normally, I would not have really watched. Bebe’s Kids. …
Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
City Pulse movie theater
As a great Hollywood movie freak I like to watch them in theaters. Very few Hollywood movie releases in India. Anyways City Pulse is the only theater near to our college otherwise all of them are at least 20kms far. So for every movie I go there. The parking …
2001 Manics Movie
While watching the movie 2001 Manics, I couldn’t help but think that it was the ultimate B-movie which I was usually so turned off of watching. It had lots of sex, gore, bad acting and young people which is what most B-movies usually has, not to mention the lack …
Joe’s Apartment movie
I wonder what the creators of this movie were thinking. Apparently, they were not thinking at all. A college graduate moves from Iowa to New York and, being short on cash, looks for a cheap apartment. He finds one, and soon finds out why it’s so cheap: it is …
Far From Home The Adventures of Yellow Dog
Far From Home The Adventures of Yellow Dog is a great kid movie. It shows how a special friendship develop between a young boy and a stray dog. Angus and his father are delivering supplies to Winter Heaven when a terrible storm topples their boat. Henry is picked up …
The Price of Milk movie
I am reviewing the New Zealond film, The Price of Milk, starring Danielle Cormack and Karl Urban as Lucinda and Rob. This film was made in 2000, and was written and produced by Harry Sinclair.
This movie is a romance/fantasy flick about a farmer, his girlfriend, and the magic …
Disney Pixar Movie CARS
Good fun, Light and educational fun, my 4 year old loves is crazy about this movie. He wants to see it three times a day. The most important part is we as a parent loves it too. Some of the special reasons I think.
The animations of cars, racing, …
Reviewing - Hitch
Hitch - can be summed up with one word - hilarious ! Will Smith and Kevin James are side achingly funny ! Hitch’s {Will Smith } job is to get the girl of any man’s dreams to fall in love with him in 3 days ! It works like …
Gaslight (1944)
I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …
From Dusk Till Dawn
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …
Out to Sea movie
From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …
LAND OF THE DEAD movie
LAND OF THE DEAD
It seemed that George Romero would never make another zombie film. Twenty years had passed since the release and flop of the over-rated DAY OF THE DEAD and nary a new Romero Zombie film was in sight.
Actually, this film was bouncing around in development for a …
Blood Diamond
I have always love seeing Leonardo DiCaprio acting, and a DVD movie I have watched, is the Blood Diamond.
I don’t really understand when I watched this DVD movie. I know that Leo is helping his friend out to seek the diamond, as there has been some dirty dealings …
Monster House
I am reviewing the animated film, Monster House. This movie follows around three main characters: two boys and a girl. The boys avoid this house all the time, because they think it is a monster house. The man inside is just as growly as a monster too. Whenever …
Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Outsourced (movie)
I do not think that I could have heard about the movie Outsourced, had I not read a good movie review about it some years ago. The review made the movie sound so good in fact, that I decided that I was going to watch it online since I …
The Chronicles of Narnia
If you really want your children to enjoy watching a good fantasy movie, than I recommand “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. This movie has the right ingredients to ensure that every child will enjoy watching it.
I must also add that “The Chronicles of …
Meet Me in St. Louis movie
When I think about Meet Me in St. Louis, I mostly think about Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien. Garland is the star of this MGM movie from 1944, and she does a great job. She sings the classic Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and does so …
Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Rain Man (1988)

The messangers is the scariest movie I have seen in a really long time its about a girl who gets in some trouble where shes use to live and gets in a car crash with her little 3 year old brother which cause the little brother to stop talking …
A face to die for
You know, sometimes the best movies out there are those that are made for television. Proof of that can be found in the 1996 made-for-TV movie “A Face to Die For.”
This movie has Yasmine Bleeth starring as a disfigured woman who is conned by her boyfriend into committing a …
Thinking XXX (NR, 2004) documentary
One might think that documentaries about sexually explicit topics will be full of juicy material. I found this one downright boring. While it was interesting to see porn stars (like Tera Patrick) actually taking part in interviews, some of the dialogue and things they were talking about …
81st Annual Academy Awards Night
Yesterday, I had the privilege to watch the so-called biggest Awards Night in the movie industry, the Oscars. One of the biggest media network in our country decided to air it in the Philippines via satellite. I was excited and exhilarated because I’ve been looking forward for this year’s …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
Haunter (horror movie)
I’m a horror fan who likes my weekly dose of horror movies, especially when I’m in a particular mood and I feel like chilling out. I generally don’t gravitate to C and D-rated horror movies or even those of a certain genre, but there are times when I’m so …
Baby’s day out movie
It is one of the funniest and cutest movie I ever saw. It is a story about a little child, who hardly can stand up, and how he discovers the city, and how he makes the three men’s life miserable, who kidnapped him. The story starts by showing that …
Unlimited movie rental
I signed up for Blockbuster Total Access 3 months ago. I was very surprised that it worked the way Blockbuster says on TV. If you sign up at the store or online you have to pay a monthly fee. I signed up for the unlimited movies …
Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2
I rented and watched the sisterhoods of traveling pants 2 today. I’ve never seen the first one but I understood most of it. It was kind of boring at parts, and I felt like something was missing in it. It is a teen movie so maybe that is why …
She’s Out of My League (2010) movie
I meant to go see this movie in theaters but never got around to it so I was excited that I finally got in on my netflix ready to go. So I jumped right on into this one hoping for the best.
So the premise of this movie is …
The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …
Australia Movie
The movie lasted almost 3 hours. The reason why I watched this in silver screen is the because of Baz Lhurman. I was entertained with Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge. I have been eager to go to Australia as well. I thought this movie had a historical …
Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …

Richie Rich
Richie Rich was a very good movie that came out in the 1990s. It is based off of the TV show that was a cartoon. But this movie is all about the real life Richie Rich. It it basically the same story as the old cartoon TV show, but much …
The Rock (1996)
I don’t mind watching movies that I like a number of times. This one has been played in our house and in some relative’ houses but I just kept hopping in. Not only because this is Sean Connery’s movie but also it’s Nicolas Cage’s and Ed Harris’ …
The Brave One (R, 2007)
Of all the Jodie Foster films I have seen recently, this one was the most interesting—¦ but quite a departure from the kinds of films I’ve seen her in. The Brave One features Jodie in the lead role as a fiancée whose lover is killed in Central …
