Shop Around the Corner (1940)
In 1940 Loew’s, a production company that ceased operation in the mid 1950s released the black and white feature “Shop Around the Corner” in English lasting 99 minutes. For some strange reason the movie was set in Budapest that somehow doesn’t quite work with Jimmy Stewards folksy, mid-western accent. …
300: Rise of an Empire (fantasy action movie)
I delayed watching the movie “300: Rise of an Empire” for two main reasons. The first was that I’d become very wary of sequels, since they generally don’t live up to the expectations of the viewer. The second reason was because I heard it wasn’t very good at all. After …
My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)
I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …
Bad Teacher 2011 movie
I was waiting for Bad Teacher to premiere so badly. First of all, I see pictures of Bad Teacher everywhere: on billboards, on bus stops, etc. It keeps on getting in my head everyday. Secondly, the commercials look awesome. It looks absolutely hilarious. Last but not least, I love …
Without A Clue Movie
This movie creates a funny twist to the famous Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson duo, with Dr. Watson being the mastermind and the genius and Holmes nothing but a fictional character created by him and represented by a hired actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine). While Kincaid gets all the …

Brigadoon MGM musical
Brigadoon is an MGM musical from 1954 that still delights to this day. It’s a quieter fare than most, but it has a genuine quality to it that lulls the viewer in. This movie is relevant to today, too, because we’re still in such a rat race, …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …
Weekend at Bernie’s movie
My wife and I have been wanting to watch the movie Weekend at Bernie’s for a while now. We both saw it when we were younger but neither of us could remember much of what happened in the film and were interested to see if it was as good …
Titanic
This must have been a good movie because it evoked so many emotions from me. The setting and the characterizations were incredible. Leonardo is as always beautiful in it. The thing I hated was when she was on the door or whatever at the end and she says ‘I’ll …
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Final Fantasy is always famous for its in-game cg movie, but can we really expect it to be a great movie if it’s only a full time in-game cg without gameplay? Yes, Final Fantasy VII proved that. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is the second cg movie done …
Rachel Getting Married movie
The entire movie felt like an indie film from start to finish. The script was refreshing, the cinematography was very basic yet effective and the cast was not that famous but still lived up to their roles. I never liked Anne Hathaway and her character as Kym only solidified …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …

The Cabin in the Woods (2012) Movie
I was really excited to see the movie The Cabin the Woods because I saw its review in IMDB and it had 7.3 rating. I was interested to see it because it was a horror film and I really want to see horror films so I did decide to …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie
Long before the television show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, there was the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie released in the early nineties. Of course, at the time it was released I was about three or four and so I never knew about it. However, I did watch …
Wishmaster (1997)
This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …
Sleepless in Seattle
Sleepless in Seattle is a very good romantic movie and has some good performances by the leading actors played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Tom Hanks is obviously a good performer and has proved his acting abilities in many movies and in this movie too he gives a …
Go West, Young Girl movie
I actually only saw Go West, Young Girl for the first time last year. It’s another Karen Valentine movie from 1978 that relies on her innocent, cutesy, and even spunky persona to succeed. She plays Netty Booth, an Eastern reporter who wants to go west to make …
Movie Accepted
The day when you have to choose which college you are going to go is a headache for everyone. It is even more a headache for Bartleby Gaines who keeps getting letters of refusal every day. What to do to live up to your parents expectations? Simply, invent your …
Spread the Movie
This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Vampire in Brooklyn Movie
When I saw that it was an Eddie Murphy movie, I expected good comedy, perhaps something like Mel Brooks’ “Dracula: Dead and Loving It” with Leslie Nielsen, a funny twist of a classic. Well, I was wrong. Apparently, the creators of “Vampire in Brooklyn” meant it to be for …
The Substitute
I am reviewing the movie, The Substitute starring Tom Berringer. This movie is about the horrors of teaching. When Tom Berringer’s girlfriend gets attacked by a group of students, he decides he’s going to step in and take charge as a substitute teacher. What he deals with are …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
Calendar Girls
This story is awesome and it has a wonderful cast, including one of the lead, Helen Mirren. Someway or another, I think this movie was made close to the truth or rather, something inspirational of the real story and the title suits really.
The story is funny and I love …

Natural Born Killer

The Fountain DVD Movie
The movie, The Fountain was from the year 2006, and only now, did I find the time to watch it on DVD, due to my friend’s recommendation. These movie stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, and this is basically a love story.
The characters of these both lovebirds are …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
Hancock movie
When it comes to summer blockbusters, Will Smith might as well be the king. After conquering many genres, from horror to science fiction to comedy and drama, Will Smith finally took a crack at the superhero business, yet in an unexpected way.
In his new movie, Hancock, Smith plays Hancock, …
Rob Zombie’s Halloween
Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …
Across the Universe (2007 film)
As a Beatles fan, I put off seeing “Across the Universe” for a while-even when others raved about it-because it didn’t seem like any movie could really do justice to the music-and I’m including the movies the Beatles themselves actually made, with the possible exception of “Magical Mystery Tour,” …
The Proposal Movie
One of my favorite actress is Sandra Bullock. I watched all of her films from Speed with Keanu Reeves up to this one. I was curious about this film the first time I found it out. What is The Proposal is all about? I saw some billboards showing that …
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …

A Season for Miracles movie
A Season for Miracles is a very sweet film from 1999. It was actually one of the holiday classics done yearly by Hallmark movie, so right there you know that it is a quality production. One of the main reasons I tuned in back then was to …
Enough starring Jennifer Lopez
“Enough” (2002) was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It had shades of Sleeping With the Enemy and Double Jeopardy, but stood out among the crowd. Jennifer Lopez stars as Slim, a woman who suffers physical abuse at the hands of …

Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Last weekend I went to go see Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I went to go see it on opening night and the theater was packed. My friends and I actually wanted to go to any early show but they were sold out so we had …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
The Matrix Reloaded is the second installment in the Matrix trilogy. To be honest, I do not think I enjoyed it as much as the first one. It seems like some of the excitement died out, or maybe there was just so much fuzz about the start …
Meet The Rottens
Ian and Axl Rotten had a heck of a blood feud in ECW many years ago and prior to that they were a heck of a tag team. While wrestling fans have enjoyed their battles for years and have seen them repeatedly, they will all get something new …
For What It’s Worth (2004) Dave Chappelle
I love Dave Chappelle. His sense of humor is insane. I love the easy way that he fires off hilarious tidbits and can easily bring an audience to its knees (and to its feet at the end of the show). The title “comedic genuis” fits him well. For those …
Freaks movie
The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together. The so called freaks are people with strange looks, everything from midgets to people with small heads. These people were authentic, …
