The Holiday Movie
There are some actors and actresses that I avoid when deciding what movies to go to the theater and watch or what movies to rent. I usually avoid anything with Jude Law, Jack Black, and Cameron Diaz. So imagine my surprise when I actually rented a movie staring all …

I was excited to see this movie. I was a bit disappointed when I finally watched it. I expected more action from it. There was actually some, but I am not contented. The plot itself is thin and the story is typical. The first few minutes were exciting but …

House of Wax
House of Wax with Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, and Paris Hilton.
I have to be honest. I watched this movie in the hopes of seeing nude scenes with Paris Hilton. Well, it did not happen and the rest of the movie had to stand …
Halloween
I absolutely hate the new “Halloween,” this crude, obscene, bloody, gory, stupid, disgusting slasher. I have not seen the original version made sometime in the 70s, but from what I hear, it did not have all the sliced up bodies on screen; this one does, and seems to relish …

I watched State of Play that day with my friends and I was so hating it in the beginning. I wanted to watch some other show, but all of them insisted on this one. Starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, this is one thriller of a movie that …
Crazy, Stupid, Love Movie (2011)
Crazy, stupid, love. Is by far one of the best comedies of all time. Watching this movie was a very uplifting and refreshing experience. The movie stands out in the myriad of bad, empty and stupid romantic comedies that were released in the last few years. I practically gave …

Alexander The Great movie
After a long while, I’m back here, just to write a short review about the film “Alexander” from Oliver Stone. The film is about Alexander the Great.
Many meaningfull historical event are forget, and I think that Alexander was not that mad man.
The photography is at the level of Oliver …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
Stargate SG-1 The First Commandment
The fifth episode of the first season of Stargate SG-1 was called “The First Commandment”. Frankly, it’s not a big favorite of mine, though it has some fun moments to it.
Basically, the episode is about an SG team leader gone bad. He starts believing he’s a god. …
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 …
Everest movie
It was a really fascinating and breathtaking experience watching the movie Everest on Imax. I watched it a few days back with a couple of old school friends, and two of us got teary eyed on some scenes of the movie. This is a very moving, inspiring …

Back when I was in high school, Literature class was one of my favourite subjects because we had a teacher who made all of the topics that we covered very interesting, especially when she made references to other books and movies. One of the books that I remember her …
Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” movie
Imagine… Back before engines or high speed communication, where battle is done with metal blades and crude and cruel superstitions serve as the voice of both law and medical science, you give a decade of your life traveling far from home to fight the enemies of your religion. After so …
All About Eve film
Bette Davis, as she became more mature possessed knowing character traits with a rustic edge incorporated. She was really never the innocent young girl type. I would say she fit more the role of a person who knew how to survive life. She was always the …
She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.

Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
The Reader movie
The best way to describe the movie —˜The Reader’ is a very moving film which tackles emotions and sentiments in a unique way. It is no wonder that there were many actresses who wanted to interpret the main female role such as Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard and …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …

Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie
I skipped this film in theaters because I wasn’t sure that I could sit through two hours of watching people pretend that a Real Doll (sex doll) was really the girlfriend of a local man. I realized upon watching this movie that I was right in my decision …

Whiplash, movie (2014)
Whiplash is a movie whose title gives you goosebumps! A sparkling story of inspiration and energy about what we can do for our life’s purpose. A powerful and impressive film about musicians with great music.

Everybody Wins
Everybody Wins with Nick Nolte, Debra Winger, Will Patton, and Jack Warden.
I have to admit that I only watched this movie because it featured sexy Debra Winger. There is an animal attraction about her that comes across on the big screen. In this movie, …

The Four 2 is a 2013 Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the sequel to 2012’s The Four.

Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …
FUR
I think Nicole Kidman is the most sensual actress working today. This isn’t just because of her great looks, but because of the way she exudes her emotions. So when I had the opportunity to watch “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” with Kidman playing the famed photographer, …
