Movies Reviews
Spirit (movie)
Spirit is a cartoon movie about a wild stallion produced by Dream Works. It starts off when the stallion is first born and shows him growing up with the rest of the herd. From the time he was born this stallion had an attitude and a spirit that could …
Antwone Fisher
The movie Antwone Fisher was released when I was still in high school. I did not see it advertising to be released in theatres though since I was very busy at the time. However, I was finally able to see it when I saw the rest of my family …
Friday the 13th Boxed Set
When I heard that they were releasing a boxed set of the Friday the 13th movies, I felt a little thrill of excitement. These are the movies I grew up watching, and while Nightmare on Elm Street got its own treatment years ago, Friday the 13th was still bringing …
Love Field (movie)
I love watching historical movies, or movies whose settings take place at memorable times during human history. This is why I was very intrigued by the description of the movie “Love Field” when I had seen it on the television guide when I was looking on what was going …
WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …

This is the story of an otherwise peaceful man driven to violence after his home was burnt down and his family slaughtered at the hands of vicious men calling themselves ‘Redlegs’. Enter Josie Wales, the survivor of the attack; he now sets his sights on revenge for the life …
IMDB
It sounds silly but, IMDB.com is one of my favorite websites on the internet. The website is basically a place to find information on every single movie or television program, and every single person involved in a particular movie or television program.
If you are a movie buff like …
The Lucky One Movie
After hearing only dismal things about this movie in its reviews, I decided to watch it for myself and found that the people who were speaking negatively were not that far off. The plot of the movie is good. Young man finds picture of a woman in war that …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (movie)
“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” came out back when I was still in high school. I heard the name mentioned a couple of times, but I never actually took the time out to either search for what it was about or even watch the trailer. I remember one or two …
Movie 1408 by John Cusack
1408 is a horror film by John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. Well most of the movie of course shows John Cusack as Mike Enslin’s struggle inside a hotel room, supposedly haunted the room 1408. Mike Enslin here is a paranormal “writer”, with his profession; he stays at …
Stuck in the Suburbs
When the movie Stuck in the Suburbs came on television last night, my first thought was “Great, another teenaged chick flick.” But, after watching it simply because there was nothing better on, I discovered it was actually a pretty good movie.
The Disney Channel Original centers around two girls …
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A&E
I believe the best movie version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice is by A&E. I’ve read the book, and the A&E version holds very close to Austin’s work. I hate when movie directors and film writers believe they have to make the classic their own, by making …
K-Pax
I think K-Pax is a great movie. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges do a great job in this film. So the movie is about an man who all of a sudden shows us at an air port, and he claims to be from another planet. Most people think that …
Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
Harry potter movie
Harry potter is such a big and famous story as well as a fabulous picture. Who does not like it? My kids and I am the big fan of this movie. We have seen the part one and also the part two of Harry potter. …
Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story
telling, and stunning animation, but this latest film is not quite an advancement. Past films like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Ponpoko,” “Kiki’s
Delvery service” and “Spirited Away,” each brought more creative …
McHales Navy movie
The retired old commander named McHale is recalled to the navy after his arch enemy takes over the Island San Marino.
Stupid, stupid movie that almost makes me laugh at how amateurishly made it is. Bruce Campbell is almost charming, but the fact is that he always appeared in second …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Music & Lyrics (movie)
OK, when I saw the previews for the movie Music & Lyrics, I thought to myself �Oh no, not another Hugh Grant movie. I said that because I figured it would be very sappy and have humor that is a bit to subtle to be enjoyable.
After watching it, I …
The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
Movie - Serendipity
Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …
Movie: The Fastest Gun Alive
Synopsis: A gunslinger who reportedly is the fastest alive tries to keep his identity secret and live a normal life with his wife. Instead, he has to fight an outlaw.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen quite a few westerns involving gunfights and, while they are all …

Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …
The Empire Strikes Back movie
As I said in my Star Wars review, I’ve only seen the original three movies and I loved them. They made a complete package for me. In my heart, I think of this movie as The Empire Strikes Back and not as Star Wars: Episode V - …
In The Mouth of Madness Movie
I didn’t think that there would be a movie that would be able to scare me, but this does not apply if that movie is made by the famous director John Carpenter (”Halloween”). In the case I experienced this on me, after I decided to watch his grim film …
IMDb.com
This website is highly useful for film buffs, but it is so detailed and so user-friendly that it is not niche at all and is useful for anyone who likes movies. I find that to be pretty much everyone. I love this website because it is always …
The Lake House
I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …
The Princess Bride (Rob Reiner, 1987)
If you’ve not seen this film yet - where have you been? Remedy this dire mistake immediately.
Here’s the premise: A young boy is ill in bed, and his Grandpa starts to read him a book. The boy is less than impressed to start:
“Hold it. What is this? Are you …
Firefly
I am an ardent fan of Joss Whedon’s television shows, I have been a fan ever since the start of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and loved every moment of Buffyverse, till the story came to a dramatic conclusion in the Buffy spin-off, Angel.
Disappointed at the thought of not …

Nine to Five movie (1980)
I remember seeing “Nine to Five” for the first time when I was only twelve years old. I loved it then, and I love it just as much today. I still like to watch parts of it whenever it appears on TV. To all the ladies out there, this …
Casino Movie
I think Casino is one of the greatest Mob movies ever made. Joe Pesci does a great job of playing Nicky Santoro. I also think that Robert Deniro did a great job as Sam he hustler. I think the movie really tells the story of how mob bosses used …
Mission to Mars film
Mission to Mars is a good film about a mission to Mars that goes awry. A rescue mission is planned, and that’s where the focus is for the majority of the movie.
Gary Sinise stars, along with Tim Robbins, Peter Outerbridge, Jerry O’Connell, Don Cheadle, Connie Nielsen, and Kim …
Shrek3 Shrek the Third
I loved the first two Shrek movies, this third one was such a dissappointment to me. I mean I really thought I’d enjoy it. Usually the first movies is good, then the sequel bombs, and everything else follows.. but in this case Shrek 1 & 2 were …
Enemy (psychological thriller movie)
I remember wanting to see the movie “Enemy” after I had seen the trailer some time ago. It gave me the impression that it could be one of those thrillers that would keep me in suspense all the way through till it ended. However, after I got to watch the …
Meet the Parents, movie
Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)
Sinbad was sent to find the legendary ‘Book of Peace’ that he was accused of stealing. The person that accused him of the crime was the person who framed him, that person is the same person who gave them the book in the first place, the goddess of chaos …

Feast, 2006 Horror Film
This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …
The Bodygaurd movie
The Bodyguard is a romantic-suspense film brilliantly directed by Mick Jackson, and beautifully written by Lawrence Kasdan.Starring one of my favorite singer Whitney Houston who plays here as Rachel Marron, a pop music superstar, whose lifestyle is like the President’s. One of her fans is stalking her and has …
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …

Matrix the movie
Matrix the first part, of course, called just The Matrix is my favourite move, later the move becomes just to naive and simple to me, we all knew how ill the tird part finish, didn’t we?
The first part is full of the very memorable scenes like that one with …
