Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
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 …
Doomsday (2008)
To be quite honest, I was expecting a lot more from Neil Marshall than this. After the likes of “Dog Soldiers” and “The Descent”, you’d have thought he’d have something more imaginative to offer up than this pretty weak and often downright silly science fiction yarn that rarely impresses …
The Lego Batman Movie (2017 Animated Film)
I can still remember the time 3 years ago, almost the same day, I rushed to the nearest cinema because every critics loved The Lego Movie the moment it was released. I had no intention of watching it before but the reviews were so glowing that I was really tempted …

The mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
The plot: …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie
Paul Blart: Mall Cop was a very funny movie, which featured Kevin James. This Movie was about a mild-mannered security guard who has to be the hero when the mall is held up by a gang organization.
I really thought that the movie was boring and I didn’t want to …
Eyes Wide Shut movie
Eyes Wide Shut is Stanley Kubrick’s last film as a director, and is a highly under appreciated study of sexually jealousy and paranoia. A young doctor (Tom Cruise) whose wife (Nicole Kidman) confesses a sex fantasy about another man to him, sending him off into an insecure rage. …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Singing Babies - Nursery Rhyme Time DVD
We received this dvd for our 10.5 month old son as a christmas present. When we put it in the dvd player and watched it with our son, my husband turns to me and the first thing that he says to me is, “this is the most rediculous baby …
The Orphanage
I watched a film on DVD recently called The Orphanage. I was attracted to this film for two reasons, one being that it is all in Spanish and I love foreign films, but the other, more important reason, was that it is made by Guillermo Del Toro, the same …
The Devil Wears Prada Movie
This movie is considered a “fashion” movie that’s best applicable for young ladies and women who dreams of making it to a very glam city with a good-paying job, a fantasic career, an even-better boyfriend, and a set of girlfriends to share it all with. Unfortunately, this isn’t the …
When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …
Halloween
I absolutely hate the new “Halloween,” this crude, obscene, bloody, gory, stupid, disgusting slasher. I have not seen the original version made sometime in the 70s, but from what I hear, it did not have all the sliced up bodies on screen; this one does, and seems to relish …
Disney’s Lady and The Tramp
Lady and The Tramp in the tamp is a timeless Disney classic. This movie will touch the hearts of families everywhere. I really loved watching this movie as a small child. I had such a great time watching it and I even remembered some of the lines from the movie. …
A room with a view movie
An english costume drama set in the early 1900s about a young woman who’s having trouble chosing her partner. The film was directed by James Ivory, most well-known for his film The Remains of the day with Anthony Hopkins in a brilliant performance. As with that film, A room …
Traitor
The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …

Jupiter Ascending (Science Fiction Fantasy Movie)
After watching The Matrix Trilogy multiple times, I found myself looking forward to future projects from the filmmaking team Lana Wachowski who was formerly Laurence “Larry” Wachowski; and her brother Andy Wachowski. Therefore, I guess like many other people I automatically assumed that it was going to be very …
Star Trek (2009, J.J. Abrams)
First off let me get one thing quite clear: I’m not a Trekkie. I AM a self-confessed sci-fi geek but have just never been into Star Trek.
I like the borg, an inspired concept. The Enterprise looks cool. Scotty was amusing and Spock was Spocky. But that’s about it. I …
Anaconda movie (1997)
As if Snakes were frightening enough. Now, there are sets of movies about giant snakes that have a hunger for human flesh. It’s bad enough that Jaws freaked people out about getting into the water. I, myself, am included in that …

Herbie Fully Loaded -DVD Release 2005
Oh joy -Herbie rides again (if you will pardon the pun). When I spotted Herbie Fully Loaded in a shop I simply had to have it. Always having loved watching the original movies when they came onto the television it seemed too good to be true that the little …
Evan Almighty
I watched this movie yesterday. It’s the second to Bruce Almighty. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. In the previews it looked kind of stupid to me. I enjoyed watching the movie though. There were no parts that were hilarious to me but there …

The Brothers Grimsby 2016 Spy Action Comedy Movie
I had seen the trailer for the movie “The Brothers Grimsby” previously but wrote it off and forgot about it because I didn’t think that it would be great at all. However, after seeing the audience’s reaction to a clip of the movie on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I became …
Braveheart film
When we think about the Middle Ages what strikes us is a lot of savagery, pain and torture but above them all the notion of heroism, which taken that manages to deal with all the challenges previously enlisted stands out more than anything we can …
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 …
Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
Movie Recycle
This is a crazy movie; some people would say that it is weird and that they didn’t understand it. Honestly I think that this is the type of movie where you either like it or you don’t. I just thought it was overall crazy and honestly I don’t even …
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
This movie is taken from a popular video game and made into a live action movie and strange enough as it may be, it made the transition into real life without a hitch or a glitch in the system. People loved it and they love the lead character played …
Hitman
I can remember seeing the movie “Hitman” advertising to be released however, I was a bit unsure as the type of movie it would be and soon forgot about it. However, I was reminded about it again in 2007 when I saw one of my friends watching it online. …
Little Miss Sunshine
I am reviewing the movie, Little Miss Sunshine, which was nominated for best picture this past year. It really is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It stars Greg Kinnear as the father in the movie, Richard Hoover, who has a motivational plan called “the …
13 Ghosts (movie)
13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …
Spread the Movie
This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …
Coyote Ugly movie
Piper Perabo made a big splash in Coyote Ugly back in 2000. The female coyote craze has really grown since then. These are women who both bar-tend and entertain the patrons. They’re gone for getting up atop the bar and singing and dancing, in groups and …

Film Coraline
I have just watched the film Coraline and I must say it was quite charming. If you have seen the trailer, this movie may seem as if it is intended for just a younger audience, but that is not the case. While it does a good job at …
I Am Number Four - Teen Psi-fi Movie
I took my 11 year old son to see “I Am Number Four” on the weekend, not expecting too much; and was surprised by this movie. It is your typical teen movie featuring a boy-likes-girl scenario, social issues and some type of major obstacle to over come. …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …
