Iron Man
Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …

The Incredibles
This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …
K-19: The Widowmaker movie
K-19: The Widowmaker was released in 2002, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. It took me three or four views to really get into and grasp the entire scope of the story. That surprised me because …

The New Daughter movie 2009
On my rotten fruit throwing list, this one ranks pretty high, but it’s not the worst I hever ever seen.

The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
Poetry: A film by Lee Chang-Dong (2010)
I see a film whenever I can. Some I can vividly remember, while others are so yesterday. My short-term memory decides either to keep or forget a certain film. One I remember of late is a Korean film simply entitled, “Poetry.” I first knew about …

Snow Globe
Normally, I dread watching Christmas movies. They rarely offer anything new and are so full of cliches, you can pretty much predict what will happen next.
Tonight, I got to watch a Christmas movie that I actually enjoyed.
ABC Family’s movie, Snow Globe, is a Christmas movie that is so original, …

From Paris With Love (2010) movie
Haven’t seen John Travolta take to the screen in a film that I have liked lately but this one was pretty entertaining. Nothing special just a good old fashion entertainment action film.

Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …
Ploning Movie
It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.

Coyote Ugly
What is this movie about? I can answer that in two words: bar dancing. There is nothing else in it, really. No story to speak of, just a few events to get the main character to work at the bar - and then it is all about girls dancing …
Sergeantt York Movie
Gary Cooper plays a farmer who against his will is sent to take part in World War I. While there he becomes a war hero, despite his former pacifism sympathies.

They Live a classically bad sci-fi flick
I’m actually old enough to remember Roddy Piper in his prime as a pro wrestler and when he left the industry to pursue a movie career. As the movie They Live proves, he should have stuck to wrestling.
Overall, it’s not a terrible movie. Piper plays a homeless man who …

Life is worth living till the last minute. This is the message that conveys the film “Bucket List” which includes the actors, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in one of their best roles ever.
