What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …

Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …

Ghosts of Cite de Soleil (R, 2006) movie

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Movie)
As an avid reader of the Hunger Games trilogy, I was very excited for the next installment in the movie franchise. I thought the first movie was okay, giving it a rating of 7/10, but I’m glad to say that this second installment is a huge improvement over the …
Click movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …
Movie: The Fifth Element
The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich, is a fun and interesting action film that never fails to get my attention when it’s on T.V. While I can’t say its my favorite movie and probably not even in my top twenty for science fiction films, there …
Sahara movie
After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.
This film is completely lacking all form of intelligence. I doubt it’s even historically correct, because everything that happens seem so over-dramatized …
S.W.A.T movie
This movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and LL Cool J. This is really a good movie and everyone can just learn a lot from it. Everyone can truly appreciate the work of SWAT members.

Glorifying the American Girl movie
Glorifying the American Girl from 1929 purports to be under the direct supervision of the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld. There were lots of showgirls in this motion picture to satisfy that Rockette feeling, too. Even today, the line of girls doing those high leg kicks are incredibly popular.
I …

Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …

The Number 23 movie
A lot of people don’t like Jim Carrey’s comedy and, when he first hit Hollywood, people didn’t think much of him. However, his movie, The Number 23, shows a range of acting skill that might surprise a lot of people.
Carrey plays an animal control worker who is given a …
Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …

Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …

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 …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Final Destination movie
There are very few thrillers out there that scare me, this is definitely one of them.
The makers of this movie did a great job coming up with an original concept that you just don’t see in Hollywood any more. What could be scarier than knowing Death is out to …

Vacancy
This movie starring Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson, was interesting to watch. It is a bit suspenseful, with decent acting and a decent story, but the ’snuff’ factor is a bit sensationalistic and the story itself is a bit short. It is still good enough to watch and be …
Mona Lisa Smile
Julia Roberts stars in this movie where for women, it’s about getting married and not necessarily school. It is an interesting portrait of the paths that different women take, such as marriage, working for a living, no marriage, birth control, etc. If some parts had been cut down …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
Doll Face movie
From 1945, Doll Face is a fairly fun motion picture about the entertainment industry, including Burleycue, better known as burlesque. Vivian Blaine plays Doll Face Carroll, who is trying to get out of burlesque and into the legitimate theater and such, but no one will give her the …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
Movie The Holiday
I like this movie, not love, like. I watch this movie at the first place because of the casts in it, I mean, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, wow! This is a drama/comedy kind of movie. The plot is kind of interesting, about two women …

Movie: What Happens in Vegas
As I mentioned in another review, I had a chance to watch a couple movies yesterday evening (it was raining out and there wasn’t anything good on TV). One of the films I re-watched for the first time in a couple years was the movie What happens in Vegas.
This …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. I almost didn’t see this movie thinking it was for a younger audience. I’m glad I decided to. I liked it! That surprised me as I was never …
The Expendables 2 movie
When going to watch the sequel to 2010’s action packed “The Expendables”, I was initially sceptical, based on the previous outing from Stallone and co. The original, while impressing with it’s juicy, gory action scenes, did little for me, with shaky stiff performances from Stallone and some of the …
