Signs (Movies)
I recently came to live in a new city for a few months, and part of my condominium lease included some great movie channels on cable. I have been re-watching a lot of movies that I saw a long time ago, and enjoying many of them. Last weekend, we …
Shawshank Redemption movie
Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
Gothika (2003)
A psychiatrist at a mental hospital is possessed by the spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered by the doctor’s husband. Did I give it away too soon? I don’t think so, even if you are given the entire plot of the movie right off the bat, it …
Biloxi Blues
When I got a chance to sit down and watch Biloxi Blues the other day, it was because I remembered it being a funny movie.
Somehow my memories must be off because this movie was anything but.
It was an OK film and gives a small insight into basic training toward …
American Violet movie
American Violet is a movie that I knew very little about. I had been seeing a billboard advertising it inside one of the neighborhood restaurants I sometimes frequent. This still did not really grab my attention although I am an avid movie lover.
I ended up coming across the movie …
Wolf Of Wall Street, movie
It wouldn’t sound too strange to say that The Wolf of Wall Street is in fact an adaptation of the classic 70s song Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, perhaps without the —˜Rock and Roll’. Scorsese’s latest 3 hour film is an indulgent look at the life of Jordan …
30 Days of Night
It was rather disappointing to watch 30 Days of Night on theaters before. I think this movie was a couple of years back and I watched it with my ex boyfriend during that time.
The movie is about vampires or something and the movie effects throughout was rather …
Twilight- Movie
My thirteen year old daughter is in love with the Twilite Movie. She has even read the book she liked it so much, and she is not one to read a book if it wasn’t an assignment. I can’t say as I loved the movie, but it is a …
African Cats 2011 Disneynature Movie
Disneynature. When I first heard about the addition to the Disney name, I was unsure of it. Yet after seeing African Cats which was released in 2011, I fell in love with the studio. I couldn’t wait to see the other documentaries that were made under the studio’s name. …
What Lies Beneath (2000)
A ghostly story about a man and his wife and the mistress that was never found after her death so many years before. This is a case of not knowing a person’s past before you actually get involved with them and ultimately meet your demise at the hands of …
Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …

The Mark of Zorro Movie
When I was a kid, I was a huge Zorro fan. The reason for this was the old black and white movie The Mark of Zorro. I got a chance to watch this movie again today and, even after all these years and after seeing it quite a few …
Meet The Browns Film (2008)
I’ve watched Meet the browns so many times that I literally know the script by heart. That’s just how much I enjoy watching this movie. In all honestly, Meet the Browns film is one my favorite movies from Tyler Perry. Yes, there’s the play, and the TV series, but …
Sky High movie
Sky High really surprised me. I thought it would be a totally silly movie with crude humor. Well, it is silly, but it’s fun silly, the way good, old fashioned comedy used to be, and that’s why I like it. Sky High is in a reality …
Charlie’s Angels
I must give credit to Drew Barrymore for bringing to the big screen “Charlie’s Angels” with the girls not using firearms but instead using martial arts to defend themselves. The angels Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz had to undergo 3 months martial arts training …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)
I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …
Knock Knock Movie
If you’re thinking of a way to waste an hour and a half of your life, give the movie Knock Knock a try. This movie is a complete waste of time and I don’t know how I ever sat through the whole movie. If you’ve read any of my …

Kill Your Darlings (2013 Biographical Drama Movie)
It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …
Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I had heard that this was a great movie, so I settled in to watch it with my boyfriend. This movie is incredibly slow. For the first like hour and a half, hardly anything happens, and Mr and Mrs Smith barely talk to each other. After an hour and …
Eastwood Mall Cinema 5 Quezon City
I have reviewed Angels and Demons movie already and I watched it at Eastwood Mall together with my computer. I initially wanted it to be at Cinema 7 because it has a reclining couple’s chair but since the screening time is too late within the day, I just chose …

Dark Wolf, the dark prince of werewolves was on the prowl, looking for his mate, to propagate the lineage of werewolves. LAPD detective Steve Turley was tracking him down, as Dark Wolf had killed his …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 movie
Scott Turow’s The Burden of Proof - Part 1 held some interest for me here and there, though it’s not something I would normally watch. Hector Elizondo stars as attorney Sandy Stern. Fresh off a victory, he goes home and finds his wife of many years dead, …

A wealthy, ruthless TV executive is the focus of this modern day remake of the classic tale of the story of Scrooge. As the story goes, this person is cold hearted and career driven to the point that no one likes to be around him yet alone work with …
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …
Happy Feet
I can’t help but watch animated movies with my kids, because they usually hide the remote control if they play something! Talk about manipulative kids! And so one day, I ended watching the animation “Happy Feet” with them. It’s a story of penguins of rare breed and species, losing …
Hitch Movie
One of the best and my favorite comedians and actors is Will Smith, he can do comedy as if he was born to do it and act comically, he also has great skills as with Bad Boys and Hancock, and here on Hitch I think this movie really suited …
Bad and Beautiful (1952)
“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …

Vaughn and Aniston play Gary and Brooke who after dating for a while decide to buy a condo together in Chicago. After living together for a considerable time Brooke feels that Gary has become lazy …
Letters to Juliet movie
As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …
What Happens in Vegas
I really have to catch up on the buzz of this new-released movie, What Happens in Vegas, just released this year, 2008. It stars the unlikely couple in real life; my most favorite actress, Cameron Diaz (well, one of the most though) and the cute, hunky and sobs! …
Let sleeping corpses lie movie
Italian director Jorge Grau’s unsettling British based zombie movie is one of the most chilling zombie movies in the genre, due to the fusion of horror styles the director incorporates in the film. Grau supplied the blood and guts excessiveness that defined the underground extreme Italian style splatter fests, …
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Movie 2011)
Okay, so I just watched this movie a few days ago and to tell you guys frankly I never hesitated, not one bit, about watching this movie. I have seen the trilogy and I know that this one “might” just be as good as its predecessors!
Basically, the plot is …
Horror of Spider Island Movie
I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …

Office Space is a hilarious, kick back movie …

Even thou these types of stories really aren’t my favorite kinds of movies, I’m not much of a romantic mushy movie kind of girl, but this cute, romantic Cinderella style movie is a nice watch when there’s nothing else on and you want a movie you can smile at and …
The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
Con Air Movie
I’ve seen this movie for many times. The leading actor Nicolas Cage is one of favorite. In this story he was married to a lovely wife who is currently pregnant. I like the story because it showed how much he loved his wife. He accidentally in prison because of …
