Movies Reviews
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 Quiet American
I had not heard about the movie “The Quiet American” until I had seen it under an actor’s imdb profile. Thus after reading the description of it I decided to watch it for myself since it sounded like something I would probably like. I think it also portrays the …
Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …

Shrek the Third (2007)
Yesterday, after months of anticipation, I went to the movies and saw Shrek the Third. The big green ogre is back, ugly as ever; his manners haven’t improved much, despite living at the royal palace, but his wife Princess Fiona still loves him. Fiona hints that she would like …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
Movie Sweet November
This movie is about two people that meet by chance, From the moment they meet is very clear that they have very little in common and have very different personalities. She is hippie like and so full of life but he is still taken with success and …
The Queen, Stephen Frears Movie
The film opened with a moment when Tony Blair recently selected to become Prime Minister of Britain. Together with his wife, Cherie, Blair visited Buckingham palace to meet with the Queen. Stories then move on the tragedy which daughter Diana. From here we can see the attitude English royalty, …
Bulletproof Monk (2003)
I don’t really get the whole basis of this movie. It goes too wide and gets way confusing the longer the movie progresses. Eve though it has a pretty straight forward and easy plot to follow, the direction of the whole movie has not been put together in a …
Movie “Dreamcatcher” (2003)
I am so in love with netflix and the ability to watch movies and tv instantly. Since I don’t have to wait for a movie to come in the mail I am much more willing to try out a movie I have never heard of before. This …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is perhaps one of those movies that actually tackle something more than just the cliché jock/nerd romance. The story follows a recently heartbroken high school student, Nick O’ Leary. …
Naruto Shippuden - The Lost Tower, anime
To be honest I did not have high expectations for Naruto Shippuden: The Lost Tower in the first place, it could potentially have been a pretty decent animated file, but instead is a mediocre due to its missed opportunities—¦
Naruto Shippuden —“ The Lost Tower, is the fourth film from …
Nora
I watched this film last night, never even having heard of it before. It was made in 1999 and stars a very young looking Ewen McGregor and Susan Lynch. The film tells the story of the stormy relationship between the Irish writer James Joyce and his wife Nora, who …
My Best Friend’s Wedding
At the time this movie was launch at the cinemas, it was labelled as another Julia Roberts movie. However this movie was much more then that! “My Best Friend’s Wedding” is one of the best romantic movies of all time and at the same time it was the first …
Elvira Mistress of the Dark
You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …
Hollow Man
There’s something I don’t understand about this movie. Not with the story and plot but on how the character has of the young scientist Sebastian Caine (played by Kevin Bacon) has changed from a nice guy in the beginning of the movie into a cold blooded killer of …
Twilight The Movie
Quote: “Saying Twilight is good because it’s popular would be like saying Herpes is good because a lot of people have it.”
First of all, bad acting, the movie seemed rushed and the characters didn’t seem like they were in character. I was waiting for someone to say…”just kidding!”
Edward seemed …
The Phantom
The Phantom stars Billy Zane, Kristy Swanson, Treat Williams, and James Remar.
As another movie version of a comic hero, this movie turned out to be interesting, but pretty laid back. The Phantom, alias Kit Walker, saves the world from the evil Xander Drax and …
Ajnabi (movie), 2001
The movie Ajnabi was released in 2001. It is a thriller film. I watched this film at theater. The movie is directed by Abbas and Mustan who are famous for directing many good and original thrillers. But this one is a copy of a Hollywood film named Consenting Adults. …
Movie Next
Overall this was an alright movie. It has Nicolas Cage in it who plays a guy who can see what happens in the future, but only 2 minutes ahead of time other than this girl who he meets…he has seen her way before 2 minutes. Jessica Biel plays that …
LAST HOLIDAY WITH QUEEN LATIVA DVD
I just saw the DVD of Last Holiday with Queen Lativa, and I have to say it is just a ‘make you feel great!’ movie! I cannot imagine anyone not totally enjoying this DVD! I even bought one for my friend who lives quite far away from my County.
This …
John Tucker Must Die
I was a bit bored last night and found myself watching the movie John Tucker Must Die.
I had seen the movie before last night but couldn’t remember anything about it. Now I do. It is a terrible movie.
Basically, it is a bunch of girls who overreact when they find …
The Foresaken Movie
The Foresaken is one of the many horror movies that were rushed into production following the success of Scream. The makers grabbed a handful of attractive actors, and slapped together a movie without giving it a lot of though.
On the surface this is a typical teen vampire movie, …
Failure to Launch movie
When I saw previews of this movie, I thought it would be hillarious. However, when I finally got a chance to watch it, I can understand why the critics hated it.
Overall, it was an OK movie but it wasn’t as funny as it could have been. The plot was …
Bring It On
I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …
Deck The Halls movie
Last Christmas I was able to watch this movie. For me it was really a nice movie. I like the story so much since it was centered on the family and how much a person wants to find that something that would make him happy and complete. I really …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …

The original release date was April 10, 1998 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Horror/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Michael Madsen as …
Manhattan (1979) Movie
Manhattan (1979)is a classic movie and considered widely to be one of the best from the director, Woody Allen. This black and white film is one of my all-time favorites —“ both funny and also mature in its depiction of Allen’s character, Isaac, and his quest to find …
Transformers
Although it is essentially a live-action film, Transformers blows Ratatouille out of the water when it comes to computer animation; the CG sequences in Michael Bay’s latest film are simply incredible, pushing computer graphics to the verge of realism. The film as a whole is a wild ride, with …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
Street Kings movie
Keanu Reeves has pulled off another great movie. Keanu Reeves has shown that he can stand in other films besides the Matrix and romance films. My wife and I went to see this movie without knowing what to expect. Although the action seemed a little shy in this …
Space Camp
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the film Space Camp on one of our movie channels. I have to tell you, it was the first time in years I had seen the movie and it really isn’t as good as I remember it being.
I think …
Little Red Riding Hood (1997)
One night, a few years back, I had a case of insomnia. I turned the TV on to the Sundance Channel only to find the short films playing. I was channel surfing and noticed Christina Ricci’s face in black and white. I knew it had to have been older …
Mary Poppins movie
This evening I watched the classic movie “Mary Poppins”. This Disney classic is timeless people from eight to eiighty enjoy this show.
I was interested to learn that this movie was the first to bring live action and animation together. When the movie was being made there were several …
Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …
Horton Hears A Who
I love all sorts of family and children movies and television shows, and Horton Hears A Who is right up at the top of my list of favorites. Horton Hears A Who is a cartoon movie about Horton, an elephant who hears voices coming from a dust ball. What …
Movie Push
I recently watched the movie Push, since I am a fan of Chris Evans, so I decided to give the movie a shot since the trailer was a bit impressive. Although a lot of critics said it wasn’t a good movie, I had to see it for myself to …
Where The Wild Things Are: The Movie
I think it’s fair to say that mostly everyone has read, heard of, or watched the cartoon of “Where the Wild Things Are”. Also, it hit headlines to a somewhat large scale as the 2009 movie was released, giving a new spin to the beloved children’s book. And while …
Movie: From Within
Synopsis: A small, religious community sees its world flipped upside down when community members begin killing themselves one by one. Is it some sort of suicide pact or does a family once accused of practicing witchcraft have something to do with it?
What I liked about this movie: This movie, …
Boogie Nights movie

He and his friends (one of them played by Swain) start getting phone calls from the game, weirdest challenges …
I Am Legend
Will Smith truly has proved his worth and value as an actor and his convincing acting in I Am Legend truly shines. As usual, movies like this gives me the jitters but I braved myself to watch it on the cinemas when it was first shown.
There is …
Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
Blessed movie
I just got finished watching the movie “blessed” on lifetime movie network. It was an alright movie. Overall I didn’t really care for it that much. I would have rather watched something else. The end was pretty good though. The whole movie was alright, the end was the best …
Smart People (R, 2008)
I expected a bit more from this movie than I got. But I should have known that because it was made by the same man who did “Sideways” —that the movie was going to be one of those occasionally humorous quiet, thinking people films. Usually …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
