The Day The Earth Stood Still
Anyone who has seen the trailer for “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, will have marvelled at the scenes of destruction, the dizzying special effects that show The Meadowlands being ripped apart by an ashen dust swarm. What the trailer fails to show is the mind-numbingly dull 102 minutes …
Tangled Movie
Another fairy tale princess movie from Disney that is a throw back to the good old days of enchantment and sweetness.
Rapunzel, kidnapped as a baby, is imprisoned in a tower by a woman she grows up thinking is her mother. Each year on her birthday her …
The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
War of the Worlds (Movie)
The War of the Worlds! A fairly self-explanatory title that suggests destruction, possible alien invasion, and a most likely hero to the story. These are all things that you would expect, from a sci-fi like this. However, I became surprised when I viewed this picture film, that some of …
The Pitfall movie
This is one of Hiroshi Teshigahara’s earliest works and my favorite of his films that I’ve seen so far. A man and his little boy is walking together by a lake when someone comes out of the bushes and shoots the man. We are not explained to why this …
A pilot’s wife movie
I watched “The pilot’s wife” today on lifetime movie network. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It could have been better but overall it was pretty good. I would recommend watching it, but if you have a better movie then I would watch that instead. This girl who …

Wait Until Dark: A Film by Terence Young, 1967
For most of Audrey Hepburn’s onscreen career, romantic films helped to greatly define her image as a beguiling female lead. It is why I feel a strong interest in seeing her other exclusive portrayals outside that “frivolous bubble,” yet all the while entertaining, of girl-falls-in-love flicks; I want …
Batman Returns
I got a chance to re-watch the movie Batman Returns last night and have to say, I can now understand why that installment of Batman movies went downhill in a hurry.
The first Batman, starring Michael Keaton, is still one of my favorite movies. This sequel to that movie wasn’t …
Canvas movie

Resident Evil Part 1
I have a week off from my office so I decided to watch DVDs. Among the video that I watched is this Resident Evil.
This movie is the first part of the trilogy. Definitely a good one and good start. The starts include Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez.
This movie is …
Earth documentary
You always hear people discussing cinematography in various films and movies, but in the movie I finally saw last night, —˜Earth,’ the cinematography is magnificent and clearly on a different level than most documentaries I have seen. The movie is made up of several —˜stories’ of animals in their …

Robot Chicken Volume One DVD
I fell in love with Robot Chicken the first instant I saw it. If you’ve never seen the show, here it is in a nutshell: Action figures combined with claymation used in stop-motion animation to make fun of anything and everything pop culture, most commonly the pop-culture of …
Chuck and Larry
I just got finished having a movie day with my girlfriends. I must say first off that I was not dissatisfied with any of the movies that we watched. The first movie that we watched was I now pronouce you Chuck and Larry. I love Adam Sandler and this …
American Dreamz
I believe that the movie “American Dreamz” represent the most bizarre role for both actors, Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore. We see both there two actors in an unlovable role which is definitely something new because we are so used in seeing them in romantic movies. It is also …
Movie Numb
I am reviewing the movie, Numb, starring Matthew Perry. So there’s this guy. He has a lot of problems. He has depersonalization. This means that everything around him is in a dream state. He doesn’t know whether things are real. They all seem like they’re holograms and unreal. In …
I Am Legend
Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …
The Sixth Sence movie
This is a 1999 film starring Bruce Willis and directed by M Night Shyamalan. It is a psychological thriller about a little kid who see’s dead people, all the time, they ask him to do things. Bruce Willis plays the kid’s counselor, after failing to help a crazy guy …
Avatar: Movie
I thought Avatar was a fantastic film, fully meeting my expectations and then some with its brilliantly produced content.
It is the films special effects that have been praised more than anything, and I have to agree with the general consensus when I say that James Cameron has done a …
But I’m a Cheerleader (movie)
I watched this movie a long time ago a little after it was released, but I don’t think I was old enough to understand it enough to appreciate it. I forgot about it for a couple more years until I saw it on television recently again. I didn’t think …
Underworld: Evolution (2006)
In this the second installation in the Underworld franchise, they kindly take the opportunity to bring a lot of things to light, things that kind of confused us, or left us wondering. In this episode, we are introduced to the fact of the brothers bitten by the Bat and …
Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …
The Reaping movie
Starring: Hilary Swank (Katherine Winter), David Morrissey (Doug), Idris Elba (Ben), Anna Sophia Robb (Loren McConnell)
Whew the biblical 10 plagues shown in color can be rather overwhelming after all this while, it has only been images in our minds from the written word.
Katherine Winter, …
Shakespeare in Love,1998 movie
This movie is typical Hollywood fluff, with overdone “passion” and sexing. The storyline is okay; it could have been a decent movie if it was done right. Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is struggling with a writing crisis, he thinks he has lost his gift and searches for a …
The Kings of Mykonos (2010 film)
This is an Australian production filmed in the famous Mykonos island, in Greece. As long as you do not form high expectations about it in advance you might have some fun with it.
The plot itself is not a big deal. An Aussie of Greek origin inherits a big deal …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
Cruel Intentions
The movie “Cruel Intentions” was very much well received because it represent a new way of making movies addressed to the young generation. It includes a great cast of young rising stars involved in a movie which has the right mix between drama and romance.
On a more personal level, …
Boogeyman Movie
Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …
Va Savoir
Va Savoir is a foreign film that I have watched before since one of my friend works at the cinema. 2 of them actually, one female and one male, and either one always gets me to watch amazing movies that are sometimes not released as yet which is great.
Therefore, …
Horton Hears A Who
I love all sorts of family and children movies and television shows, and Horton Hears A Who is right up at the top of my list of favorites. Horton Hears A Who is a cartoon movie about Horton, an elephant who hears voices coming from a dust ball. What …
P2
When I came across the movie P2 on one of our movie channels last night, I confess I only decided to watch it because it was getting late and there really wasn’t much else on. When I put it on, I figured it wasn’t going to be a good …
Man of The Year
Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …
The Abyss
The Abyss is a James Cameron movie, the one which directed Titanic, and I just have one question for the guy. Is he so interested in the elements of deep sea..? That’s what I felt when I watched The Abyss. It sort of rhymes and intertwined and …
Shakespeare in Love (romance drama movie)
Back in the late nineties and early 2000s, I remember that one of the most talked about movies was one named “Shakespeare in Love”. I remember even though I was still very young back then, they hype made me curious to watch the movie. However, I finally got to watch …
Movie This Is It
I am a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson, so I just had to see this film. I’m so glad I did, because it offered me a lasting glimpse of the superstar during his last days on earth.

Hancock
Does Will Smith ever make a bad movie? Other than Ali, I mean. I watched his movie Hancock tonight and, when I got it I didn’t think it was going to be any good. It turned out to be a great film.
The movie takes a different point of view …
Bless The Child
Starring Kim Basinger (Maggie O’Connor), Jimmy Smits (John Tavis), Holliston Coleman (Cody), Rufus Sewell (Eric Stark), Angela Bettis (Jenna)
A horror show with a difference in the never-ending war between good and evil, this time the good triumphed. This is a wholesome horror movie …
“Ramona and Beezus” (2010 Film)
If anyone is familiar with the “Ramona Quimby” novels by Beverly Cleary and feared that the film relating to the novels might not do the book justice, then you have nothing to worry about. Yes, this 2010 film called “Ramona and Beezus” is based from the books, but no …
Black Christmas movie
Known to be the first “slasher” film. It is about some sorority girls who get stalked by a psychopathic killer during christmas time. One by one they fall victim to his intelligent way of tricking them into his hands. It begins very promising with suspenseful opening sequence. But from …
1492: Conquest of Paradise movie
A film by the uneven filmmaker Ridley Scott about the explorer Chrisopher Columbus who discovered America. In my own humble opinion an extremely boring film with no sense of cinema what so ever. Ridley Scott proved his talent several times in his early career with brilliant visual films like …
Over at the Hedge: movie
Over the Hedge is a children’s movie that adults can enjoy as well. The movie stars a number of famous actors, including William Shatner, Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte and singer Avril Lavigne. This animated movie is fun for all ages. It’s very funny, and the plot …
Twilight movie
When I saw the trailer of Twilight, they said this is the next big hit after Harry Potter. I was curious knowing that Harry Potter’s success worldwide was phenomenal. A few days ago, I finally saw the movie and I can say that it has potential.
The storyline was …
The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …
Red Sonja (1985)
