National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …

I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
Wax Mask movie
An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …

This movie centers around two people, one of them has followed family tradition and is an advent Red Sox fan, to the point where he has purchased season tickets to see every single game that they have scheduled to play inclusive of practice days. The other, a female who …
Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …

Manhattan (1979) Movie
Manhattan (1979)is a classic movie and considered widely to be one of the best from the director, Woody Allen. This black and white film is one of my all-time favorites —“ both funny and also mature in its depiction of Allen’s character, Isaac, and his quest to find …

This is a movie starring Steve Carell as Agent 86, Ann Hathaway as Agent 99, and Dwayne Johnson as Agent 23, it also has Masi Oka from HEROES!! I used to watch the television show when I was a little girl but have forgotten a lot about it. …
A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …
Blood Sport
Blood Sport is a classic fighting movie. It’s a great 80s movie with a lots of heart in it. I think Jean Claude Van Damme did a great job of acting in the movie. His fighting style and moves were very good. He has a lot of heart and energy …

I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …

The Women movie
I have seen this movie when my cousin rented it back in the holidays. It is another chick flick, Sex and The City-ish kind of movie. Well, its my kind of movie. I love watching pretty women who deals with issues of life including marriage, friendship, parenthood and career. This …
The Man in the Iron Mask
I infer the story behind the man in the iron mask is so interesting that it made it to the big screen multiple times. This one version I watched at least made me think so. I had a good time watching this version directed by Randall Wallace; …
The Hours (2002)
Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …
The Venture Bros Season 2 DVD
The Venture Bros is definitely my favorite TV show these days. Its unusual brand of humor, along with its unique writing and excellent animation (especially by the usually low Adult Swim standards) make it one of the best things around these days when it comes to TV. …
Under the Skin (2013 movie)
I find that with mainstream movies there’s very little to talk about. I usually get information from the culture and arts section of many a magazine or newspaper and shy away from the hype. People continue to brood over the movie Under the Skin, despite that it …
Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
Erin Brockovich Movie
This is a fantastic movie! Whenever it comes on television I like to watch it all the way through.
Erin Brockovich is the incredible true story of a single mother of three children. She begins to work at a law firm on an important case dealing with a company that …
The Invasion (PG-13, 2007)
I was all prepared to really hate this movie, or at the very least, dislike it intensely. This is because most of the films of this genre - especially those that are remakes of old classics—tend to be very poorly made. I knew this movie had …
Zorro, The Gay Blade
Stories or movies from Old California are dear to my heart, being raised in Southern California through my childhood. I think that if a double-feature were in order, this movie should be coupled with The Three Amigos. The comedy is similar.
The comedic strength in this movie stems from brilliant …
A Very Special Love: Special it is
I am not very fond of Filipino or local movies ( I live in the Philippines and local movies are called “Tagalog Movies”) but then I have to say that I did enjoy watching one particular movie that I would also like to introduce to the readers of Reviewstream. …

I just saw Incredible Hulk II and I don’t know really what to say. no words can describe how I enjoyed watching this film which was superbly done. The special effects, the digital enhancements are all perfect! When I first saw the trailer and found out that Edward Norton …
Kingsman: The Secret Service (action adventure spy movie)
Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …

Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
Ice Princess (2005)
Ice Princess is one of the movies, I consider an inspiration for youngster and adult. It is about the struggles a student must overcome, in order to go through college or university. What lies beyond high school? One may either join the workforce or take the first step in …
James Cameron’s Avatar
Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …
Nanny McPhee: The Movie
The magical-comedy movie which is suited to kids of all ages as well as for the adults who still likes romance and comedy rolled in one. Nanny McPhee is a witch looking nanny that wears all black and a funny hat with two moles and, big nose and one …
Proof
I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …
Play it Again Sam (1972) Woody Allen
Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …

Tyrell Corporation is one of these power-holders, producing so-called “replicants” - androids programmed for certain tasks and used as working force in colonies outside …
House Of Voices
Speaking of horror and haunting movies, this one title, House Of Voices sits in the list of mine as being pretty boring and bland. I’ve watched it with my friends and if I’m not mistaken, this movie was before 2005 or 2006.
The story is about this particular woman who …
Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)
Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, directed by Dennis Dugan is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, language and drug references. The original release date was July 20, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of …
The Fisher King Movie
Wow The Fisher King is probably now one of my favorite movies and probably one of the best performance by Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams. The story is so deep and heartfelt is almost made me cry at the end. The story is about this radio show host who is …
Film Sherlock Holmes [2009]
Yea yea, another one of those Sherlock Holmes spinoffs. By now can you really expect anything good out of them by now? Fortunately, after countless mind numbingly awful “reimaginings” of the world of Sherlock Holmes over the past few years (decades even), a movie finally got lucky and didn’t …
Twilight the Movie
Stephnie Meyer’s Twilight saga created much uproar with the brilliant storyline and an unconventional love story that it offered. Twilight Movie is based on the first novel of the saga. The movie is a perfect blend of suspense, romance, mystery and sci-fi acts. The star cast is absolutely apt …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …
The Dark Knight Movie
Thought provoking, stylistic, and entertaining all highlight the 2008 blocbuster The Dark Knight. This film not only provided the audience members with an action fest, it offered some heavy philosophical talking points long after the credits roled. How do you defeat an …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Troops movie
A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …
Movie Mirrors
This movie was a movie that could have been awesome. It had an excellent base story line but it just lacked … SOMETHING. I don’t know what exactly it was, but it lacked. I love the big old run down mall that they had to protect every night, I …
Movie White Chicks
The movie White Chicks is a very funny one. I love this movie and would see it all over again. It’s very funny. The stars are the Wayne’s brothers. They were the white chicks. They got transplant and look like white chicks. The funny part is that they don’t …
Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …
