Movies Reviews
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Richard Gere’s character was too …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …
Back To The Future
I love it, and its as entertaining now as it was when it was made in 1985 Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd excel in this film which sends them back to the past where they get stuck and need to find a way, well - back to …
Idiocracy
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. It’s the story about an average ‘joe’ who gets chosen to participate in a military experiment. He was supposed to be cryogenically frozen for 1 year, but something goes wrong and he wakes up 500 years later. To his suprise society hasn’t …

The original release date was November 11, 2005 for the United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Thriller and stars Vincent Cassel as …
Cities in Love (Chinese Romance Anthology)
This romance anthology is made up of 5 love stories that happened in 5 different cities —“ Prague, Shanghai, Paris, Hokkaido and Florence. The stories portrayed different kind of love relationships.
I am usually not a fan of romance films, the reason I watched this is because of a few …
High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …
Movie Speed Racer
Don’t watch this movie if you have a migraine or sensitive to lights. I had a migraine when we first popped this in to watch and after 15 minutes had to turn it off I was so nauseous. The colors are so vivid and bright and then …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
The Lion King
One of my favorite animated Disney movies is The Lion King. It is about all the animals in Africa, concentrating on the lion cub, Simba, who grows into a full-grown lion during the movie. The story is very cute and touching. Beware though; you may need …
Shrek The Third
My daughter and I are both huge fans of Shrek. She really likes Fiona because she is a princess, and I think Shrek is hilarious. We have all three of their movies on DVD. When Shrek the Third came out into the movie theaters, we had …
Superman, The Movie
Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …
Movie Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …
Dhoom-2
I think the Indians films will be giving hollywood a run for money in few years. Dhoom-2 is a very good film, except for the few minor cliches the film is a treat to watch. Hrithik Roahan rocks even in the negative role. The film is worth watching only …
Phantom of the Opera movie
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera came to the big screen in 2004, and it was an incredible success. I had the priviledge of seeing it in the theatres while in Mexico, and even there, in a foreign tongue, it received rave reviews. I would completely agree with …
Sitting on the Moon movie
Sitting on the Moon was a shorter movie release from 1936 which starred Roger Pryor as composer Danny West, Grace Bradley as one time star Polly Blair, William Newell as Mike, and Pert Kelton as Mattie.
Actually, as I watched Sitting on the Moon, I was reminded of films like …
Everest (2015)- Biography, Drama Movie
I was sitting tight for this film ever since I saw its trailer. I was amped up for it because it is a true story and also because of its excellent star cast. In this way, when it was released I promptly hurried to the theater without worrying about its …
Blue Butterfly movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Blue Butterfly. This movie is about a terminal little boy who wants to go to the rainforest to catch the blue butterfly. His idol is a broken, emotionally drained, insect man who takes a trip into the forest every year. Pete is …
Alexander film
I love films based on historical figures. However, after finally watching the movie Alexander, I have to say I was a bit disappointed.
Based on the life of Alexander the Great, the movie focuses a bit too much on the guy who conquered the known world and not enough on …
Cloverfield
I recently watched Cloverfield on DVD. Shh…my brother works at a video rental place and they get it a few days earlier than actual release!
At first I thought, Oh great Blair Witch 2008. But after several minutes, I realized this was not at all like Blair Witch! Whereas …
Big Business (1988)
This movie is based on two pairs of twins that were separated at birth, one child of each of the set of twins were placed with two different families, one pair went to a rich family where they were spoilt rotten and believe the world is their playground, and …
Crank 2 Movie
OK well Crank 2 is not like a super good movie. But I can say it had lots of energy and action in it. Crank 2 really brings the violence the sex, the craziness. This movie overall seems to be very crazy and just a wild ride with not much …
American History X (drama movie)
The 1998 movie American History X is on my list of some of my favourite dramas to date, because of what it was about and the way that the story was presented. I know I’m not alone in this respect since it was given a high rating on sites like …
Ransom (1996 movie)
A typical day out for a family (Mother, Father and Son) when something terrible happens. The characters are Mother-Rene Russo as Kate Mullen, Father-Mel Gibson as Tom Mullen and Son-Brawley Nolte as Sean Mullen. Sean is kidnapped for he is the son of a rish man and is used …
The Forbidden Kingdom
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …
Toy Story 3 (2011 Film)
Who hasn’t fallen in love with those loveable toys in Andy’s room that came to life and embarked on various adventures? Yes, I am talking about Toy Story, but not just any Toy Story, I’m talking about “Toy Story 3″. At first, I felt this film may not do …
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 …
Ride the Wild Surf movie
From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …
Made of Honor
What if the one you love told you that he/she will be married?
If you are a woman, the answer can be found in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” but if you are a man, just find the answer in “Made of Honor”.
This movie is about Tom and Hannah, who becomes …
Dark Skies (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was the movie “Dark Skies”. It’s not to be confused with the television series of the same name that was popular in the late nineteen nineties, even though it has a bit of a similar motif. When I watched the …
Battle L.A. Movie
I had not heard much about Battle L.A., which is surprising because it is the current big blockbuster alien movie and that usually means millions of dollars in advertising. The only advertising I have seen for this film is some posters in subway stations. The posters explain the basic …
Chronicels of Narnia : The Lion, The witch and the wardrobe
This movie is a classic children fantasy movie based on the novel by C.S. Lewis of the same name. The book was much appreciated and hence the movie was greeted with huge positive response.
The story of the movie is set in the time of World War II. Four siblings …
Stepbrothers (Movie)
I really don’t like Will Ferrell, but my sister-in-law and brothers told me this movie was good and funny, and seeing as I didn’t have anything to do anyway on a rainy day, I watched this movie.
The movie is all about 2 grown-up adults who thinks they’re still young …
Two Weeks Notice (starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant)
I watched the DVD of Two Weeks Notice starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant the other day and there could not have been a better duo for their roles than them. It’s basically a movie story about serving your troublesome boss and after some time feeling that you have …
Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.
Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brander, an formerly overweight high school student who, 10 years later tries to win the love of his …
Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …

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 …
Batman Begins (DVD)
After a full decade of substandard Batman movies finally the caped crusader has something to cheer about. And what a surprise, too! The sheer number of lukewarm reviews this movie received was enough to make me hesitate to see it. The only person I know who actually gave this …
War
War, starring Jet Li is a movie about gangs based in San Francisco, California. The movie starts with FBI agents trying to capture the Rogue, Jet Li.
This movie has many action scenes and some of the fights can be a little gruesome. What more can you ask in an …
Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
Wall-e
I love animation movie. Pixar is one of the best animation movie maker, together with Walt Disney, they make great movies. The last one I saw, just tonight at the local movies was Wall-e. It was another futuristic story of the ruin earth, which is good. …

Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army)
I love watching Hellboy 2 (The Golden Army) very much. And I think the character Hellboy or Ape, I think what he’s called is very adorable. This sequel is as best as the first one and in this part 2, there’s this Prince that has been resurrected and …
August Rush movie
August Rush is a movie about a young female musical prodigy named Lyla Novack (Keri Russell) who one evening fell for a talented musician Louis Connely (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) who sang and played guitar in a band. They were together for one night and fell in love, and …
Mini’s First Time (R, 2006) movie
I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …
Happy feet
Happy feet may not be as child friendly as it’s animation may imply.
The film follows the story of a penguin who seems unable to fulfill his duty in life, that being to find a mate through singing his “heart song”. Mumbles, the unfortunate penguin, was blessed with a very …
