The Invisibles (starring Portia de Rossi)
I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …

Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
I Know Who Killed Me
The other night, my sister and I rented this movie to have a fun night in with junk food and a movie neither of us had ever seen before. It’s a new release, starring Lindsay Lohan. Julia Ormond is also in it, which was nice for me …
Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …
The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The plot was something I hadn’t seen executed so well in a long time. …
Alice in Wonderland Movie (2010)
Alice in Wonderland was my favorite cartoon movie before, and I would always dream and wished I was Alice so I could eat the cookies and drink the potion that would make me smaller or bigger than my average size. I wanted to be Alice when I was a …
Saw IV movie
I wasn’t a big fan of the Saw movies when they first came out but they eventually grew on me. However, after watching Saw IV, I have to say it’s time to bring the franchise to an end.
Jigsaw dies in Saw III, along with his accomplice so you would …
Movie: Executive Decision
I was at my parent’s house yesterday afternoon having dinner with them and my dad was watching some movies. Since it was too loud in their kitchen, I decided to join him and ended up seeing the film Executive Decision; a movie I have seen in the past but …
The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …
Twilight Movie
My boyfriend and I went to go see Twilight at the movie theater. I talked him into going with me because all my friends were raving about the book series. I tried reading the book but it couldn’t hold my attention past the third page. So …
Public Enemies movie
My wife and I ended up finally watching the Johnny Depp film Public Enemies last night. It was an OK movie but I will confess, I expected it to be somewhat better than it was.
Depp does an excellent job as John Dillinger, public enemy number 1 who is hunted …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
The Greatest Show on Earth movie
This is the everyday life among some individuals in a circus companionship. The basic idea is the same as Fellini’s La Strada or Bergman’s Sawdust & Tinsel. The Greatest Show on Earth was directed by the legendary silent filmmaker Cecil B. Demille (during his sound period however) and is …
Prince of Persia (the movie)
I just watch the Prince of Persia movie with my friends in a cinema near my office. Expecting a great movie, especially because prince of persia already well known for the games and they also has a lot of commercial in the television. I feel so sure that this …
The Basketball Diaries
I have watched the movie “The Basketball Diaries” several times, but had not known the name of the film up until recently when I watched it again. It is not to be confused with another American film called “Love and Basketball” which has a completely different plot and setting. …
“Whip It” (2009 film)
Like any discerning cinema fan, I’ve always been slightly suspicious of Drew Barrymore. Can she act? It seems for every decent performance she delivers, she chooses some unbelievably soulless project that would make even the finest acting look like a middle-school play. And way too often it seems like …
My Neighbors the Yamadas
A film about the life of an ordinary family in Tokyo, anime style.
The film was directed by Isao Takahata, well known around the world for his Grave of the Fireflies. The difference between Takahata and Miyazaki for example is very big. Takahata’s films are based in the real world, …
Couples Retreat (2009) movie

Billy Madison Movie
I just saw the movie Billy Madison again after the longest time. This is one of my Adam Sandler movie favorites because I like slapstick comedy and this has a nice storyline.
This movie is about Billy Madison (Adam Sandler) who is an heir to the big company that …
High Society movie
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …
Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies)
‘Hotaru no Haka’, the tale of a pair of siblings in Japan during World War II moved the hearts of viewers when it was released in 1988. This anime has become a classic, well-loved and remembered by many.
In 2005, the ‘live’ version of ‘Hotaru no Haka’, more commonly known …
Movie Reaping
I feel like this movie was too much like a remake of the Omen. It just had too much in common with it. I would have rather watched something different. In the previews it looked like it would be something different. I just didn’t care for the movie much …
Baker Street Nursemaids
I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …

Walking Tall movie
My wife and I came across the movie Walking Tall on television last night (the re-make, not the original) and, because we hadn’t seen it in a while, decided to watch it.
I haven’t seen the original yet and can’t compare the two. But, this one, starring The Rock, was …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

The Ruins
We watched the movie The Ruins last night and, while I thought it was going to be one of those B-rated horror films that neither scares you or entertains you, I was surprised to find out it wasn’t half bad.
The movie is about a bunch of college kids who …
Man of Steel, movie
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: Superman is lame. There, I said it, and now I’ll probably have to run and hide inside some bunker until the geek rage dies. And it’s strange, because I’m also a geek. A geek that loves comics and computer games, …
Fearless Jet Li
Jet Li is truly a great martial artist and actor. I loved him in this film because he played a character with complexity. He started off as a weak child that constantly tried to overcome a bully. Later he grew up to become a great fighter that allowed vanity …

Movie Roxanne
I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
