Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …

Star Trek 2009
I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …
Babel - Movie
I went to see Babel not knowing anything about it more than it took place in Morocco and it was “kind of like the movie Crash”. Pretty quickly you can see how the movie is like “Crash” in that there are 4 storylines, seemingly unrelated, that you know somehow …
The Hurricane Movie
This movie is inspired by real events, it features Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, a famous boxer who is wrongly imprisoned for murder; in prison he writes a book about this terrible ordeal that he has to endure in which he goes to prison although he is really innocent and there …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
13 Going on 30 (2004 movie)
A little girl, not very happy with her life, makes a wish on her 13th birthday to be 30 and flirty and thriving. She falls asleep in the closet and when she wakes, she finds herself in a strange house and that she is 30 years old. Finding her …
The Cutting Edge Movie
Among the Cutting Edge movies that were made (there were three) this is what I like best. I have probably seen it five times already. I enjoy watching this because I like figure skating and The Cutting Edge has plenty of scenes showcasing some fancy maneuvers. It is funny …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet - Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette
I really enjoyed the Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette which had to deal with the premier weekend for the Warner Brothers’ film, The Incredible Mr. Limpet. These type of movie shorts are fun for me. I love going behind the scenes, both to see how a production …

Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Transporter 3
I must say that the —˜Transporter’ films are my favourite Jason Statham’s movies together with ‘The Bank Job’. I believe that with ‘Transporter 3′ the director, Olivier Megaton and writers, Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen managed to put together the right ingredients that made this movie series so …
Movie: Dear John
Dear John is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. I would say the novel was more outstanding than the movie, in terms of details. The movie however, is still a great romance flick to watch with your significant other.
The movie starrs Channing Tatum as John and …
I know who killed me
I like Lindsay Lohan, that’s why I decided to watch this movie. Drama? Thriller? Comedy? Mistery? I don’t really know what to call this movie’s genre. It’s about a girl missing, abducted by a serial killer, and instead the found the missing identical …
Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …
Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds
The movie industry has always been filled with historical fiction from its inception. Fanciful depictions of factual incidents has graced Hollywood screens for the better part of the last century. While Hollywood movies employ their share of historical advisors, movies are out to entertain, not to …
A day in the country movie
Jean Renoir or was undeniably the most interesting french filmmaker of the 1930s. A day in the country is one of his absolute finest works. It tells the story of two men and one woman taking a trip to the country together. Both of the men falls in love …
Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …

I am reviewing The Speckled Band, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada Television. In this episode, Holmes is employed by a Miss Stoner, who is frightened for her life. Her sister and she had lived with …
The Other Guys (2010)
To be frank, 2010 hasn’t been a great year for comedy. Most of the billed “comedy” movies have been stale and unfunny, and the ones that are occasionally funny are better characterized as dramas. While The Other Guys isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, it is the funniest movie of the …
Underworld 3
I went to the Cinema to watch “Underworld 3: The Rise Of the Lycans”
I know that this movie is the prequel to “Underworld”. In this movie which begins with Victor killing Lucian’s parents and takes Lucian in as a child yet makes him a slave to guard them.
Victor …

One night when I was channel surfing for something interesting to watch, I stumbled onto a PBS special called Alone in The Wilderness. It is a movie based on a book written by Dick Proenneke. It was about his life and how he went to Alaska to live a …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …
Captivity (UR, 2003)
Fashion model Jennifer (played by Elisha Cuthbert) has been kidnapped after spending the evening at a nightclub. She awakens to find herself trapped in some sort of basement with a labyrinth of killer tricks and props. She realizes that someone is testing her, watching her every move. …
A Frozen Flower (a Korean Movie)
If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …

Movie The good girl
I watched ‘The good girl’ because it seemed to be a good film however I ended up very disappointed! This is a truly awful film. I cannot understand how a very talented actress, Jennifer Aniston would be involved in such a lousy production!
In this film, Aniston interprets the character of …
Meshes of the Afternoon moive
Perhaps the most important of all experimental films ever made. This was directed by Maya Deren and is and shows one event taking place repeatedly, but each time there is a difference in the way it occurs, only a minor one barely noticable. No matter what you think about …

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) movie
When I was in middle school I was so excited to see this movie but my parents would never allow me to see it because of the gore and violence. So now many years later I decided to buy it just to see if I was missing out on …
La La Land - (Romantic Musical Film) 2016
Tears in your eyes, laughter spewing out of you and songs you find humming at odd hours? You must have watched La La Land. I’m not a person who often enjoys musicals and yet La La Land surprised me. I was enthralled, drawn into the story and of course couldn’t …
Sunshine Movie
I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …
David Icke’s From Prison to Paradise
I have a thing for writers who are out there on the fringe a little bit. I don’t know what it is about them but there is something that intrigues me. With this in mind, I thought that I would enjoy watching David Icke’s “From Prison to …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …
Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …

The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …
Christmas Vacation 2 movie
In one of the odder sequels, we see Christmas Vacation 2, a made for TV movie that came out a couple of years ago. Although the original Vacation, part of the Vacation series had other movies follow it (such as the lamentable Vegas Vacation), this movie does not …

Constantine (the Movie)
I watched Constantine (with Keanu Reeves) for the fifth or sixth time again last night. Every time I watch it, this movie seems to get better. Even though it came out in 2005, it still doesn’t cease to impress me and I think it will always remain to be …
Julie and Julia
I wasn’t prepared to like Julie and Julia when I rented it on DVD; although I enjoy Nora Ephron’s writing, whether it is books or screenplays, I just didn’t think a movie about the famed cook Julia Child would be that interesting. Despite the fact that she remains one of …
Vampire Knight Anime DVD Volume 3

Sentinal movie
Last night, I watched Sentinal with Keiffer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Although the movie did not get great reviews, I really liked it. It was action-packed, steamy, mysterious, and it kept me from falling asleep, that’s for sure! I thought that Michael Douglas did a fabulous job …
