The Dark Knight
Even before it was shown, so much hype has revolved around The Dark Knight, the 2008 sequel to the critically-acclaimed Batman Begins. I’ve waited for this movie for a long time not just because I want to see the last full-length movie of Heath Ledger, but mainly because I’m …
Big Momma’s House 2
This was by far one of the dumbest movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. I was made to watch this by a friend and tried to watch it with an open mind, but that was dashed 5 minutes into the movie. Don’t get me wrong, Martin …
Round-Up Time in Texas movie
After watching a bunch of old westerns with Tex Ritter, it’s actually quite a change to now watching a few with Gene Autry in them. They are both singing cowboys, but they are very different, too. This movie is called Round-Up Time in Texas from 1937.
First of …
Movie UHF
Weird Al Yankovic has always been a controversial singer and is definitely no actor. But, his movie UHF is an instant classic that should be shown more on television.

Starring Gabrielle Union and British-born Idris Elba, the story revolves around a single-father ex-con, limo driver who happens to fall for a successful young lawyer (Union). His fight to remain in his three …
Get Smart (2008 movie)
Get Smart isn’t the latest film out. It actually is a pretty old film as it was released in 2008. Nevertheless, my iTunes balance was running low and I wanted to use my remaining balance on a cheap film.
Get Smart remind of of Johnny English. This movie really …
The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

Joker of the Dark Knight
For superhero lover, Joker isn’t a newbie. He’s arrogant, scary yet frightening. And he’s brilliant though. There are several actor who had played this role in the movie. But comparing all of those actors, the best one for me is the last Joker in Batman’s movie, The Dark Knight, …
The Happening Movie
Since I first saw “The Sixth Sense” several years ago, I have been a fan of M. Night Shyamalan’s work. There is this “doomsday theme” that he always illustrate in his works. Sometimes, he offers us eccentricities in his stories which is a really good way of entertaining us. …
The I in the Triangle
The I in the Triangle is the film of a lecture given by renowned author and conspiracy expert Robert Anton Wilson. I am a big fan of Wilson, so it is always nice to see another one of his videos. This is an older lecture given by …
Cape Fear (movie)
Cape Fear was one of those movies that I had absolute faith in even before I actually knew what it was about. First of all, it was supposed to have been directed by Martin Scorsese, and nothing usually beats that since most of his movies are thrilling and timeless. …
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
The second episode in the saga that is surrounded on the character named Jason Bourne, a government killer who has lost his memory and is following a trail of moldy bread crumbs to the source. At the end of the first movie, he managed to get away from his …
Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie (2010)
I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …
The Last Airbender Movie
The Last Airbender, is currently the latest movie being shown. This movie was inspired from the Nickelodeon’s high hit series, Avatar: The Last Airbender.The series was created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, I’ve been watching that series for a long time and so I felt …
Wicker Man (2006 movie)
Nicholas Cage stars in this mystery/drama/horror type movie. He finds himself on a remote island populated mostly by women. His task is to find a missing child who might also be his daughter.
Now that the foundation has been laid for the plot of the movie, where did it go …
The Gingerdead Man movie
First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …
Legally Blond 1 and 2
No matter what the actress Reese Whiterspoon does with her career, she will be associated with the “Legally Blond” movies for which (for the first movie) she won an Emmy Award. Whiterspoon is simply fantastic in the role of cute Elle Woods whose life is all pink! Whenever Whiterspoon wears …
“Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox” movie
I have been enjoying the DC Animated movies. Granted, there are still a few that I need to see, but I’ve enjoyed a vast majority of them quite a bit. I hadn’t read the comic story that this entry was based on, and while I wouldn’t say …
Flightplan
Flightplan is an suspenseful thriller that tries to keep the viewer guessing what will happen next during the entire movie. The movie begins a little slow to set up the plot, and some people may be turned off by its slow beginning. After the plot has been defined the …
Taken Movie
I watched Taken for how many times now and this movie never fails to give me excitement. It stars Liam Neeson as the father of a girl that was kidnapped in Paris by Albanians. The story not only pure action and little drama, it also gives lesson for other …
Thor: The Dark World (movie)
I’ve been looking forward to seeing the movie Thor: The Dark World ever since I figured out that there was going to be another one even before it had begun to film. I was also looking forward to it when I understood that Loki was going to be one …
Dirty Dancing Limited Keepsake Edition DVD set
There’s been a lot of press surrounding the Dirty Dancing Limited Keepsake Edition DVD set. Some people say that Lionsgate is milking the cult phenomenon to death, and maybe they are, but Dirty Dancing is a wonderful feel good movie that is iconic. It’s all about growing up …
Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
CUT BACK: facing ageism - Documentary by Patricia Sahertian
I just finished watching Cut Back and I have to say I was impressed. The documentary basically deals with the real life issues people face when they are downsized and need to look for a job at 50. There were a couple of really good stories in …
Click
For what is supposed to be a comedy I suggest you bring a box of tissues.
A desire Im sure everyone shares is to be able to stop time, or skip through unpleasant events, and even to turn the volume down on life. It is those exact deisres that Click …
Idiocracy (2006)
Luke Wilson star in this comedy DVD that I’ve watched, titled Idiocracy. The movie was released in the year 2006, and I’ve watched it before. But now, it felt really awesome to relive again the funny scenes on DVD.
Luke Wilson’s character agrees to be the ‘guinea pig’ of …
The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …
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 …
Save the Last Dance
I don’t see much interracial romantic movies so when this movie came out, I decided to watch it. Plus the fact that it stars Julia Stiles who I like so much because of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (with Heath Ledger). Directed by Thomas Carter, Save …
The Mist movie
I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …
Picture Perfect
I admit that “Picture Perfect” is one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies. This movie is very different from the typical romantic movie as it has a very original story. The main actors, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr interpret their role in an exception manner.
“Picture Perfect” is …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
Goofy and Wilbur animated short
Walt Disney has presented many delightful cartoons over the decades. This animated short from 1939 is called Goofy and Wilbur and was the first time that Goofy was the main character and supporting Mickey Mouse or another Disney main character. The situation is that Goofy is going …
Slap Shot
The best ice hockey movie ever made: Slapshot. Made in 1977, this was not considered a Hollywood blockbuster, but rather a “B” rated movie. The only famous actor in it was Paul Newman.
Back then, professional hockey in North America was ferocious with teams full of goons and fighting. But …
9 To 5
At the heart of this movie is a sexist jerk of a boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The soul of the story is divided into three: Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton (her first film), and Jane Fonda. Lily is the office manager, Dolly the creepy boss’ secretary, and Jane is …
Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …
Shoot ‘Em up
I like Clive Owen, he’s probably my favorite English actor, but I’ve seen him in this role before. In his incredibly great movie, Children Of Men, Owen plays a reluctant hero of sorts who needs to escort a pregnant woman to her rendevous point to have her baby without …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Bruce Almight, directed by Tom Shadyac is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for language, sexual content and some crude humor. The original release date was May 23, 2003 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy and stars Jim Carrey as …
Movie Wild Hogs
One of my favorite comedy movies. I watched this movie I would say about a month ago. It’s a great comedy movie. My favorite thing about the movie is that it keeps you laughing throughout the entire thing. They do fall down a lot on their motorcycles but they …
Apocalypto (spoilers)
Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …
Failure to Launch
I must admit that I prefer the on screen couple, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson however the on screen couple presented in the romantic comedy “Failure to Launch” with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t bad at all. These two actors managed to present a romantic comedy which is …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …
Bleak House (2005)
Bleak House is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. I am speaking of the newer, 2005 version, although the older one, that of 1985, is also well done (it had been one of my favorite movies until the new one came out). This movie, …
