Live Free Or Die Hard
A lot can be said about the movie Live Free Or Die Hard. First of all, if you are a fan for action flick Bruce Willis, chances are you will enjoy this show. The other fact is if you are not a Bruce Willis fan, but a …
Hiding Out
Hiding Out is one of those 1980s movies that you know I will rant about. Hiding Out is no exception!!! So Andrew is a stock broker who makes some very bad deals and suddenly needs to run away and never be seen again, or he will be killed. So …
Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 (3D)
I have been a fan of the Harry Potter films all the way through. This final chapter did not disappoint me!
It picked up right where Part One left off, just how I was expecting it to start! There was a scene or two of dialog to catch everyone up …
A Charlie Brown Christmas
My favorite Christmas-themed movie is A Charlie Brown Christmas. I am a huge fan of Peanuts and all the characters in it. I think A Charlie Brown Christmas is so cute, and it is a classic Christmas movie. One of the best parts is that it …
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 …
The Village movie
M. Night Shyamalan first became famous after the release of the movie he directed entitled The Sixth Sense. After that, he directed a number of less successful movies. The Village is a movie of his that did not get very good reviews when it came out. …
The Croods (movie)
There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …
Movie: The Prowler
I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …
Benny And Joon (Film)
Benny and Joon is a romantic movie, with some aspects of comedy, which focuses on the story of characters named Benny and Joon who are brother and sister. The main plot revolves around Joon being mentally disabled so it’s difficult for the two of them to keep a housekeeper …
Mr Arkadin movie
What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …
Movie Chicago
I admit to being surprised at the caliber of the musical performances of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, and Richard Gere and it made for a stunning production of Chicago, but at the same time, I honestly believe that the theater production I saw of it in Los Angeles …
No Country For Old Men (2007)
If you are not careful and of sound mind, you will miss what this movie is actually saying. You might even have to watch it on more than one occasion to get the real meaning behind it. Here is what this movie gives and you are going to have …
Night at the Museum, Shawn Levy Movie

Phone Booth (starring Colin Farrell)
Have you ever heard the saying one phone call is all it takes to make a difference? Well, I watched Phone Booth before and this pretty much sums up what I just said. Watching this movie before, after the show had ended, I thought that it is pretty …
Hills Have Eyes Movie
I’m a big fan of horror movies. I love being scared and wondering what is going to happen next. So of course I had to rent the DVD “The Hills Have Eyes. The overall concept of the movie sounds scary, all american family get lost in …
Candyman
This is a 1992 movie, and for some strange reason did really well, you could call it a cult classic. The plot is weak even for a science fiction film, it leaves huge holes in the story, like when there talking about the “Candyman” they talk about him like …
Reeker
Reeker is darn scary. You should rent this and watch; it is awesomely scary and something that I would truly opt for if you want to watch in a group, say on a scary Friday night with the weekend in tow and nothing to do.
The plot goes …
“All the King’s Men” The other one (1999)
This “All the King’s Men” is not the one based on Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer winning novel. It is not a novel about politics in Louisiana. It is a movie about, well, all the king’s men. In this version there really is a king, King George V and the …
Bedtime Stories movie
I have long been looking forward to seeing the movie “Bedtime Stories” starring the comedic actor Adam Sandler. However, I didn’t want to see it in the theatres when it came out because at the time I thought it might have been a
children’s movie as well as I did …
Along Came a Spider (2001)

The original release date was April 6, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/Mystery/Thriller and stars Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, …
Katie Leung as Cho Chang
I still don’t understand why JK Rowling had insisted that the actress to play Cho Chang had to be an ‘unknown’. There are a lot of Asian actresses around who would have been perfect for the role. I think they made a mistake in choosing her. Aside from not …
Blitz (crime drama movie)
I’m truly at a loss as to why I keep torturing myself and watching movies with Jason Statham in it; since I almost always know what to expect. However, for some reason I decided to watch this one yet again, and once again I was disappointed. The ratings for it, …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Shrek the Third
In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …
Movie Soul Men
First and foremost, I must admit that watching this movie made me a little sad. This is because in August, two of the film’s stars died. Bernie Mac, died of complications related to his sarcoidosis. Isaac Hayes died of a heart attack while working out on …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Green Hornet (2011) Movie
So last night my wife and i went out to watch the new Green Hornet hornet movie and i thought i’d let everybody know what i thought of it. Before getting right into the review i guess i should let you know that i am pretty easily pleased …
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
Step Brothers movie
I received the movie “Stepbrothers” in my mail from blockbuster by mail a few days ago and watched it that day. Overall it was a good movie. My only complaint about it is that I felt like something was missing in it. I also think they showed too many …

Easter Parade movie
Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …
Black Cat Episode 2

Death Sentence DVD
Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …
Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …
Love You to the Stars and Back (2017 Filipino Romantic Comedy Film)
I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …
UNKNOWN
If you are looking to get entertained and get value for the money you spent “UNKNOWN” is the movie for you. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Liam Neeson, January Jones, Diane Kruger and Frank Lagella in the pivotal roles, the movie just gives you what you deserve “Entertainment, …

Secretariat movie
Secretariat stars Diane Lane and John Malkovich as well as several other actors and actresses. It is a Disney movie about the great racehorse Secretariat, and the people who stood behind him and trained him to win the Triple Crown and become one of the most famous racehorses ever …
Eat Pray Love movie
My husband would call this a definite “Chick” flick. No action, no thrills, just relationships and love. My feminist “hackles” go up when he says that and I feel slightly guilty to admit that I “kinda” liked this movie.
It’s not a new story …
The Believer Movie (2001)
I have been thinking about watching The Believer movie for many years now. I have been attracted to this movie by the shocking DVD cover and poster for the movie. But every single time I took it off the shelf in the video store I felt very strong doubt …
Lawrence of Arabia Movie
“Lawrence of Arabia,” filmed in 1962, is based on a true story of Thomas Edward Lawrence, a British officer who had attempted to unite wild Arabic tribes into a nation. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole) is sent to spy on King Feisal (Alec Guiness), one of the many Arabic rulers. His …
Movie: The Best Years of our Lives
I had never heard of the movie The Best Years of our Lives until this past weekend, when I discovered it as part of a Memorial Day marathon. At first, I didn’t know what I was watching. But, it ended up being a halfway decent movie.
Unlike a lot of …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …
Movie Summer Magic
Summer Magic is a terrific family film with the delightful Hayley Mills in the lead role. She’s on the edge of adulthood here, playing a 16-year-old named Nancy Carey. Her mother and brother have rented the yellow house which belongs to some wealthy man who doesn’t actually …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Unless you read reviews on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, you may feel a little cheated. Because it’s not a straight adaptation of the Lewis Caroll film. Instead it’s a sequel. Alice is all grown up and returns to Wonderland.
The movie itself was okay. Nothing …
Second Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great movie! The cast is all the same with new characters being introduced. I though Lockheart was perfectly portrayed and oh my goodness, Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect! I hate his character but I love to watch him onscreen because …
