Serving Sara (movie)
“Serving Sara” is the movie where Liz Hurley and Matthew Perry interpret crazy roles. It is a true pity that this movie failed to impress the critics and went straight to video! I must also add that this movie is also the worst movie for Perry who had successful …
America’s Sweethearts 2001 Movie
America’s Sweethearts is one of those movies that has a star-studded cast, with promises of comedy and entertainment. It didn’t even deliver part of that promise. The movie was released in 2001. The film immediately gave me the feeling that I was watching a soap-opera made into a movie. …
Music and Lyrics (movie )
I’m a fan of both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so I had some interest in seeing them together in Music and Lyrics. But, I didn’t know I’d enjoy the movie so much. Grant plays Alex, a has been pop star and Barrymore is Sophie, an aspiring …

The Handmaiden (2016 Foreign Film)

Last night I chose to …
Movie Notting Hill

Greencine
Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …

Gravity Movie 2013
There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …
Movie: Unknown
I have just watched the movie UNKNOWN starring Liam Neeson, as it is just showing here in the Philippines this week. As for the title, I don’t know, at first I thought it’s going to be some kind of alien stuff or some unknown territory like Mars or …
The Book of Eli
As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …
The Lost Boys - Vampire Movie

Movie : Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog
I came across the short movie Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog a couple weeks ago and was intrigued enough to add it to my instant watch queue at Netflix (but not enough to actually rent the movie). I’m glad I did. The film was actually pretty interesting.
This movie, which was …
Superbad
When I first saw the previews for Superbad, I was extremely excited and was ready to see one of the funniest movies in recent memories. All of the critics were praising it and when I walked into the theater I was ready to have my mind blown. …
Monster In Law movie
I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …
Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …

The Butler (2013 Film)
The Butler is one of those movies that I like to call a quiet movie that’s meant for winding down. You don’t turn on this kind of movie, ready for action or something intensely graphic to happen. It’s a movie that tells you a deep rooted story. My review …
National Lampoon’s Stoned Age Unrated, comedy film
A movie so bad they decided to call it something completely different when it was released on video. Stoned Age is the comedy to bear the National Lampoon name. At one time this name met something but now you can see why the National Lampoon series is dreaded by …
Goodbye First Love by Mia Hansen-Love (2012 film)
Movies draw on snippets of reality to make us closer to life itself when we watch, to condition our minds to believe. How reality can arise from a movie so clearly that it overwhelms is a rare experience. Very few movies are able to touch on that …
XXY (2008)

Devil wears prada
I watched this movie about a week ago. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but there was nothing funny about it. It was getting late and I was really close to just turning it off and going to sleep. It wasn’t that entertaining to watch and …
War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
Once again, I’m back to watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I was anticipating War and Peace to replicate the same picture of the actress as the other regal-themed, A Roman Holiday, yet the movie wasn’t focused primarily on her character and I ended enjoying the whole film instead. …
The Delta Force (1986)
Action packed never knew life before the coming of the Chuck Norris movies and his level of attitude. This movie is about terrorists hijacking a plane full of innocent people and using them as hostages for their demands. To show good faith, they release the women and children hostages …
Head over Heels movie

In this movie we see how Amanda (Monica Potter) is head …
Movie The Dinosaur Hunter
The Dinosaur Hunter with Simon McCorkindale.
This movie actually angered me. It gave us an alluring title, but then lied to the viewer. It was not about hunting dinosaurs and had so little action that I found myself playing solitaire while watching it.
…
The ring two (movie)
As far as I remember I really enjoyed watching the first ring. It was freaky, a lot of people said that it was scary but I thought it was more freaky than anything. I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters with my cousin. We both …
Movie The Whole Nine Yards
I asked a few people I know if they liked this comedy film, but some of them said it was corny and silly even though I can remember that when I watched it, I thought it was one of the most hilarious comedy films I had ever watched. I …
Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age
Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …
Happy Feet Movie
I had heard this so much about this small penguin and having in my brain the popular saying “where there are a lot of cherries hold a small basket”, I was little circumspect with the particular animation movie. Also, I believed that after “Searching for Nemo” hardly another animation …
7 Mummies
Hey, I like monster movies as much as the next person. And, it’s rare to find a good mummy movie. So, when I had a chance to watch the film 7 Mummies, I figured I would give it a try.

Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …
The Jerk (1979) Movie
The Jerk (1979) was one of my favorite films when I was a teenager in the 1980s and I still catch it occasionally on television today because it is guaranteed to make me laugh. It stars the brilliant Steve Martin in the lead role as Navin, a total …

I like this movie so much. I enjoy so much how a rat was able to change a life of an orphan and was the sole key for his success. I enjoy the movie so much since the story line was a little fresh. I love how the plot …
Alvin and the Chipmunks movie
I hated this movie so much for many different reasons. One of the main ones was that I expected that they would have made a better movie for it being that “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons would come on local tv on Saturday mornings and it was one of …
The Raven (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Raven” I thought that it seemed like it had a lot of potential. I might not have known at the time that the title was the same as a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe a little before he …
