Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …

Zoo (UR, 2007) documentary
There was a man who once had sex with a horse and died from a ruptured colon. I found this story hard to believe until I realized that there was a documentary on the event. It’s obviously not told by the man, but by another …

The movie Home On The Range
Home On The Range was, in my opinion, not one of Disney’s best movies. I had absolutely no desire to see this movie when it came out. I saw the trailer and was completely and totally unimpressed by they movie. However even though I had decided …

Movie Them (2007)

Raiders of the Lost Ark
We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …

How To Rob A Bank Movie
When I bought this movie from the DVD store I didn’t expect a lot from it. I didn’t know the actors, never heard about the director and never heard about this movie in any reviews I have ever read before. I decided to make this a bed time movie, …

The best way to describe “Perfect Strangers” is a disturbing and shocking thriller that will keep you glued till the end of the movie. The true assets of this movie are a great script, a great director and, very importantly, a great trio of actors Sam Neill, …
Employee Of The Month
I watched this movie, Employee Of The Month the other night on DVD and it was super funny and top hilarious, I give it a 10, no doubt. I know that the jokes are pretty slapstick and that the babe factor is none other than Jessica Simpson, nevertheless I …
She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire contains spoilers.
Usually, a more action-oriented movie like this would be at or near the top of my list of favorites since the action/adventure genre is one of my top two movie genres. But Harry Potter and the Goblet …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
“Full Metal Jacket” (1987 film)
Obviously, a review of ANY Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have the usual raves (visually stunning, technically masterful!) and the usual criticisms (the acting can feel a little…robotic at times, and there’s generally a certain bleak, emotionally distant view of the human condition). Those definitely apply to Kubrick’s …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …
Fire up movie
Fire Up was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen so far. I love everything about it. You’re going to enjoy watching it. The movie is a comedy and it’s just right for High School or college age viewers. The theme is more towards young people rather than an older …

Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
The Hangover
When I first saw the previews for The Hangover I really didn’t think it looked funny. I heard from several people that the movie was hilarious and I should see it. I kept reading positive reviews about the movie as well. …
Stepford Wives (2004)
I find this 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives movie a somewhat interesting but very average attempt with one big gaping plot hole. In the original 1975 version, a young couple arrives to the town of Stepford where all the wives are amazingly beautiful and domestic; then it turns …
Shrek The Third, Chris Miller, Raman Hui Movie
It is the obligation of a son to replace the task father in law as King when King Harold hospital. Not like, Shrek I feel it is not suitable to become King of Far Far And Away. Understandably, although already a member of the kingdom, many prefer to take …

Movie: “Bride Wars”
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this lackluster, predictable comedy in which best friends become enemies when they accidentally book their weddings on the same date. Determined to upstage each other, they pull all kinds of unpleasant tricks to try and ruin the other’s wedding.
I had several issues …
Employee of the month
This was a great movie for me. I used to work in retail. Most movies are based out of big city office complexes, and most of the average people working in shopping centers, restaurants, or some other ordinary job. So I really related to this movie. However the …
Pitch Black movie

The Good Girl
The Good Girl shows Jennifer Anniston at her finest, I think. Jennifer Anniston plays Justine, a married woman working at a small town, dumpy store the equivalent of a Wal Mart. Justine does cosmetics, and makes other women beautiful. Justine doesn’t feel so beautiful, however, and it is apparent …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 11
RomeoXJuliet Episode 11 begins with Romeo and Juliet run away together with Romeo’s Dragon Steed Cielo, escaping to the country far away from Neo Verona, hoping to have a happy life together, and simply being with each other.

A League of Their Own Movie
For the longest time, A League of their Own was one of my favorite films, but it eventually took a back-burner seat to many of modern-day films. Yet, it has remained a past favorite that I still enjoyable to watch every now and then. I will be the first to …
Film “the horsemen” (2009)
I loved this film for several reasons. First of all when I watch a horror or suspense movie, there needs to be something scary in the first 20 minutes or it loses me. It can be psychological terror, but there needs to be something to draw …
Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …
The Spy Who Loved Me movie
The third 007 film starring Roger Moore is one of my favorites. The background story is the usual: someone is threatening to take over the world and Bond has to stop him. What really is unusual about this film, and this amazed me more than anything when I first …

I first heard about this movie at the Oscars. Alot of the actors in it were nominated for an Oscar award so I told myself it must be a good movie. So I rented a copy and immediately watched it. I liked it very much. Little Miss Sunshine is …
Batman Begins Movie
The previous four films about Batman seemed to have presented everything that the comics that they were based upon and filmed had to offer. First the unsurpassed art-favorite Tim Burton carried the great adventures of the superhero in “Batman” (1989) and “Batman Returns” (1992), followed by Joel Schumacher who …
