Contraband Movie (2012)
Last night I went with my friends to see the Contraband movie. The preview and the reviews were promising, plus the stellar cast was a reassuring factor. Though, on the other hand, despite being a great actor, Mark Whalberg’s recent choices in projects is a bit of a …
Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …
Thor Movie (2011)
This movie was much talked-about and I wasn’t really into these type of movies since they’re much more of a guy’s type of movie but since there wasn’t anything else showing in the cinema except for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Beastly, of course I opted to watch …
The Bank Job (2008 version)
Finally I got to watch the recent movie, “The Bank Job”. I must warn you be prepared to watch a great drama movie. This movie has got nothing to do with “The Bank Job” released last year and directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens. This movie is simply great.
I …

Remember watching Hugh Grant’s performance in Four Weddings And A Funeral the movie..? Well, I loved it very much and I could still remember this very delightful story.
Imagine you liking and admiring someone and having to find out the person you like has to go away the …
August Rush movie
My review is on the movie August Rush. Now I like movies as much as the next person, and I’m here to tell you that I loved this movie. It stars Kerri Russell and Robin Williams in it. It even has that little boy who plays from the …
Pursuit of happiness
Pursuit of Happiness starring Will Smith is the best movie I had ever seen in terms of potraying the real life situation. The struggle to existence and the survival of the fittest theory has been explained beautifully in the movie. Will smith acts as a ordinary sales person although …
Candy movie
I watched this film starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish, thinking that it was really going to be riveting. But I must admit that I was sadly disappointed. The movie tried too hard to be poignant, shocking, and emotional. What it turned out to be …
The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
The Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
American Gangster Movie

Pride and Glory Movie
This movie is fantastic. It’s a story which can happen everyday and it’s so realistic and original and simple that I think what makes it one good movie to watch. The story features Edward Norton, Jon Voight, and Colin Farrell as the main cast. The plot is about a …
The Crow movie
Perhaps most renowned for the fact that Brandon Lee (yes, the son of kung fu legend Bruce Lee) died during filming under similar circumstances as his father did twenty years earlier. The Crow is originally a comic book series and tells the story of a man seeing his wife …
People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
Phone Booth Movie
Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (movie)
Call me easily amused, but I sincerely think that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is one of the most hillarious movies of all times. Jim Carey is just outstanding in this flick, and basically utilizes every funny bone in his body to put on a powerfully amusing movie. …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …
The Avengers Movie
Captain America . Thor. Iron Man . Hulk. These are characters that I grew up with and whose films I had fun with and I have always looked forward to. What happens when all these characters fall into one and the same mixture? A true epic! Marvel’s production “The …

Lucy (science fiction movie)
When I first saw the trailer for Lucy, I just knew that I had to see it. It seemed to have a similar premise to the movie Limitless, and not to mention I’ve been a fan of the actress Scarlett Johansson for the longest while. However, as it got closer …
John Fawcett’s 2001 horror / comedy film “Ginger Snaps”
I don’t like horror movies as a rule. “The Sixth Sense” gave me nightmares for weeks, and I can’t even watch trailers of gore films, unless I’m trying to get unhealthy blood adrenalin levels. Therefore, it took my friend a lot of effort to emotionally blackmail me into watch …
Movie Waiting…
Don’t make my mistake and watch the movie “Waiting ” I don’t know why I actually bothered to spend two hours of my time watching a movie that did go any where! I should have stopped the movie the moment I saw Ryan Reynolds on the screen. I saw …
Pulp Fiction Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I wasn’t too sure where it was leading me…it was abit confusing at times, but, then it started to make sense. This is a very good thinking persons movie. It slices and dices and cuts corners without question, and it is still …
Movie: Sukob
Another movie I am going to comment on was the movie of again, Kris Aquino. But this time, she was with Claudine Baretto, the former teleserye queen of Filipino TV. I remember watching this movie with friends (officemates) when it was still showing in the cinemas. Well it was …

Up (Animated Movie by Pixar)
Up is a great animated movie by Pixar. I must say that there is a great content in this movie and that the old man and the little kid is really hilarious. It is not really that funny, but if you watch it closely and watch how the …
Far and Away movie
Though I tend to love a Ron Howard movie because it’s most always well crafted and told with respect as well as flair, I hadn’t yet watched Far and Away until a friend sent it to me a while ago. I actually watched it in pieces; couldn’t quite …
Wedding Crashers (starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn)
Wedding Crashers is a total amazing movie story featuring 2 great actors, naming Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and in this story, they are two best friends whom are just make a guess? Yes, wedding crashers.
There are definitely lots of laughs when it comes to these 2 …
Purple Rain (Movie)
At first I really liked this movie, but now I absolutely hate it. I don’t even know why I keep the DVD around. This is a really old movie starring Prince and I guess it is about his life. I don’t know if it is a true story or …
Death Sentence DVD
Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …
Twilight the first movie
Twilight was such a great movie with so many different scenes that I loved with so many hot guys and characters that blew my mind away and captured my heart. I love how the plot revolves around a group of vampires with one the vampires falling in love with a …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives is another one of those movies made when Raymond Burr wasn’t able to show up as the Mason character. Instead of just making it a non-Mason flick as I would have preferred, they turned the scripts into mysteries …

HBO miniseries Band of Brothers
This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …
The LEGO Movie (2014)
When my kids first heard about the LEGO Movie it was all they would talk about for weeks. I have to admit that even though I tried to act cool about it, I was pretty excited too. This movie had an all-star cast with everyone from Morgan Freeman to …

Scary Movie
My wife and I will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. And, I though it would be only fitting that I took a few minutes to talk about the first movie we ever watched together; Scary Movie.
I know, for a date movie, this might actually be one …
Catch and Release
In the movie “Catch and Release” we see the actress, Jennifer Garner with a sad face most of the time, but believe me this movie is by far not boring. One can describe best “Catch and Release” as a romantic movie about relationships and trust ideal for both women …
Aelita-Queen of Mars
A russian silent film made aside from the artistic works of the montage industry. The director of this film was a man named Yakov Protazanov, and the story of it is a lot more conventional than other russian films of the time, and doesn’t demand all that much of …
Headless Horseman movie
I wanted to watch a horror movie with my wife last night but, since we were starting pretty late, I didn’t want to watch anything that was well-known (read that as good) just in case we ended up falling asleep during it. So, I loaded the movie Headless Horseman …
Basic Instinct 2
This movie was so unbelievably bad that I am ashamed to say that I own it in my movie collection. I purchased this disgusting excuse for filmmaking in a second-hand DVD sale. The movie has been sitting in my Netflix queue pretty much since it came out …
