The Uninvited - Suspense thriller
Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …
Movie: Police Academy 2
Synopsis: The Police Academy cadets have graduated and are now serving their rookie year on the force. Unfortunately, they also have to stop a notorious gang from terrorizing the city.
What I liked about this movie: I think the person who steals the show in this movie is Bobcat Goldthwait, …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …
The Swan Princess animated movie

Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk represents a vast improvement over Ang Lee’s 2003 effort that disappointed Hulk fans across the world with its drab storyline and bland characters. Conversely, the Incredible Hulk (2008) provides the viewer with everything you would expect from a summmer “popcorn movie”, including lots of …
The Grand Illusion Movie
A classic film by frenchman Jean Renoir. His most famous work alongside The Rules of the Game and The Human Beast. It is an anti-war kind of story set in the first world war. The former master director and actor Erich von Stroheim makes an unforgettable performance as a …
Fantasia
For me, it is hard to see what the problem is or was with Fantasia. Most critics hated it back in 1940, especially classical music enthusiasts. They felt Disney animators butchered a beautiful art form. How naive is that? The animation was fantastic and, I felt, only …
Zootopia (2016 Film)
Rare are those animated films that I have to watch in cinemas. And in rare occasions like this one, I rushed my way into the metro traffic just to catch the last screening of Zootopia in my local cinema. I fear that I might not be able to watch it …
“Valentine” Motion Picture
I watched this movie because I like David Boreanaz and have enjoyed watching him in the tv shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is a fine actor who seems to only be able to do drama and horror but he does a good job. Anyone …
National Treasure movies
Oh, how I love National Treasure!! These movies actually got me into studying history again - and history is fascinating! Especially at the beginnings of when the United States was formed. How exciting!! Of course I am a wierdo who will sit and read Civil War facts and Gold …

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s advertised as kind of a “team” film, but it truly is Susan’s (Reece Witherspoon) movie.
The movie begins on Susan’s wedding day. As she’s heading into the church, she gets hit by a meteor which she actually absorbs into her body. …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Sky High movie
Sky High is a 2005 move that mixes elements of both the superhero and teen movie genres into an enjoyable, exceptionally fun movie going experience. It’s not the best movie around, and certainly isn’t the best composite of it;s two respective genres, but it is still a very watchable …
Batman The Dark knight
Last year when I saw Batman begins I was eagerly waiting for the next sequel of Batman when Jim Gordon in the end of the movie showed a joker card to Batman and told him that a person left a card for him. I saw the first day first …
Movie Blast
When I came across the movie Blast on one of our movie channels the other night, the first thought I had was “I’ve never heard of this before.” My second thought was “Eddie Griffin in a drama? Are you kidding me?”
I originally wasn’t going to watch this movie but …
Interstellar, movie
As a big fan of science fiction with cosmic themes, I decided to watch Interstellar despite the busy exam period. In the end, the movie absolutely worth the ticket price. If you are also a big fan of science fiction, do not read my review anymore and go watch …
All About Eve (1950)
“All About Eve” is a 1950 Twentieth Century Fox Movie about theatre people and stardom. The black and white movie lasts138 minutes and was written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and was filmed on soundstages in Los Angeles with locations shots in New York, San Francisco, and New Haven, Connecticut. …
Predator
I think Predator is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. And I also think it is one of Arnold schwarzenegger’s best roles. Predator offers a really good stoyline and villian. The Predator is an alien life form with advanced weapons and technology. This thing is scary. I …
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The movie is set six years after the X-Files are closed. Dana Scully is now a doctor at a Catholic hospital, Our Lady of Sorrows while Fox Mulder is some sort of bum after being hunted down by the FBI. They both do not want anything to do with …
The Hound of the Baskervilles
I am reviewing The Hound of the Baskervilles, a Sherlock Holmes movie produced by Granada in the late 80’s. This movie stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. Holmes is hired by Dr. Mortimer, a man who is concerned for his friend, Sir …
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, …
Maple Palm
This movie is quite full of drama genre. I watched it with my boyfriend last week. It is about a couple who are lesbians, but not only do they are looked down upon by society for their status, they also have a dirty little secret.
One of them …
Yoga Hosers, horror comedy
I’m a fan of Kevin Smith’s work. I enjoyed the “View Askewniverse” movies as well as “Red State”. I’ve also enjoyed his podcast “Fatman on Batman”. I have yet to see “Tusk” but I was able to check out it’s sequel/spin-off “Yoga Hosers”.
The fact that this follows …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
Garden State movie
Garden State is a wonderful movie that is not only well acted but beautifully done. My entire family loves this movie. Garden State is about a young man who comes home for his mother’s funeral. Andrew (played by Zach Braff) is a withdrawn, antisocial, pill popping guy who can’t …
Bobbys World cartoon
Bobby’s World was always one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons. I thought she show was really cute and funny. Bobby is so funny and cool. He has many wacky adventures and fun times.
I think the animation in the show is pretty good. It looks pretty cool but yet it’s …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
I ended up picking up the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for my daughter. When I did, I figured I would have to suffer through the movie with her and then would put her to bed and find something better to watch later.
It turns out it was …
The Stepford Wives (2004)
Oh why didn’t I watch it earlier??? This movie was in my movie collection but I just didn’t watch it yet. I decided to pop it in the DVD player tonight and wow, what a movie. It kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands but the …
Blood for Dracula
I have to say, I never really understood the fuss over Andy Warhol movies. I saw the film Blood for Dracula the other night. While the movie sounded good in the description (Dracula is growing old and needs virgin blood to survive); the movie itself was actually one of …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000 film)
Chinese cinema owes a lot to Ang Lee’s breakthrough masterpiece at the Academy Awards. Not only is the first Asian film to gain mass popularity, acclaim and high prestige awards, it was followed by a whole stream of wuxia films that is still running and to be honest none …
Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
Jason is once again resurrected from the land of the dead and is set loose on the innocent occupants of the Manhattan area. Here is the situation as it always is as it relates to the early remakes of the Friday the 13th episodes, they always go back to …
Earth (2007) movie
I had been looking forward to watch this movie ever since I had seen its trailer for the first time. The movie has been promoted as a movie for everyone, because we all belong to the nature and we should love it. This is one of the most shocking …
The Fog film
In John Carpenter’s original The Fog, we are introduced to a tiny little coastal village which is celebrating its anniversary. Almost as if to go along with the celebrations a mysterious fog drifts into town and disappears when it is about to get light again. It seems that this …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow movie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …
Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
Letters to Juliet Movie
A few weeks ago I rented “Letters to Juliet” from my local library. Having never seen it before it looked interesting. Let me give a brief outline of what this movie is about. This movie is about a young woman named Sophie (Amanda Sayfreid) who travels with her …
Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal (movie)
The first time when I saw “Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal” was a couple years ago when it first premiered on the cable television station Lifetime. At the time, I had mistaken it for another movie sharing a similar name, but when I watched it, even though I …
Lets Be Cops (movie)
I’m one of those people who strongly believe that it is possible to tell when a movie is not going to be very good. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “Lets Be Cops” for the first time, I knew it was going to be one of …

This movie …
Wanted Movie
I saw all of the previews and trailers for Wanted with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, so I felt I had to go see this movie in the theatre and could not wait until it comes to DVD. I like the way the movie introduced …
Sixteen Candles,1984 movie
“Sixteen Candles” obviously stands for sixteen candles on a birthday cake, but Samantha (Molly Ringwald) doesn’t get one. Her sister is getting married, so the family, preoccupied with the coming wedding, forgets about Samatha’s birthday. Being a typical teen, Samantha feels like the whole world has turned black. In …
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 …
The Brave One
The actress, Jodie Foster is simply fantastic in whatever role she interprets and it seems to get better with every movie. This also applies to “The Brave One”. In this movie, Foster manages to work on the viewers’ emotion and during the movie you don’t know whether to love …
Movie - Why Did I Get Married, Too?
I saw Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” a few years back and, although I don’t think it was a masterpiece, it was still an interesting look at husband-wife relationships.
When the sequel, “Why Did I Get Married, Too?” came out on dvd, I decided to watch it. To …
In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …
