Star Trek
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new movie Star Trek this past weekend. I have seen so many attempts to re-make other movies that have gone wrong and I was afraid they might have tried to take on too big of a challenge.
However, I have to admit, …

Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is hilarious. There’s really no other way to put it. It’s vulgar and borderline offensive at points but if you can get through that you’ll have a blast watching this movie.
It opens with some “advertisements” of the products from the various characters. Our theater …

The story of a magical lamp that holds within it a genie with unspeakable, phenomenal cosmic powers…but with all things, this power comes at a price.

Hope Floats movie
When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
For a Twilight fan like myself, wating for New Moon to be released in the theaters felt like such a long wait. I wanted to watch the sneak preview, but I couldn’t get any ticket, and it was next to impossible too on November 20, 2009, the official …
Halloween Resurrection Movie
Halloween Resurrection is what some people consider to be the end of the horror movie series. Technically they are right since it was the last film to feature the serial killer Michael Meyers from that particular series. Since then though we have seen Rob Zombie do his own version …
The Pacifier movie
I really love this movie. Its a fresh role for Vin Diesel, I love how much he acted on this movie. I really love the comedy with all the military discipline he was trying to rule over the children. I really like it so much since its really very …

I thought this show would be fun; it is not by far it is about a young boy with the makings of a …
Up Movie
This movie just came out a month or so ago, I believe (2009). I went to see on the Fourth of July with my family. Although I am a bit old for these movies (Up was meant for kids), I thought it was an amazing movie. I enjoyed the …
Devil wears prada
I watched this movie about a week ago. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but there was nothing funny about it. It was getting late and I was really close to just turning it off and going to sleep. It wasn’t that entertaining to watch and …
Movie Joy Ride
I can remember seeing the movie “Joy Ride” on the television guide a couple years ago when I was still in high school. However, I kept hesitating to watch it as at the time I was confusing it with a comedy which was released around the same time that …
The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
Prom Night movie
Prom Night was recently released out here in the United Kingdom and I decided to go and see it with a friend at my local Showcase Cinema in Walsall. I always enjoy a good cinema experience. The experience with friends, the laughs and the jokes and then of course …
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.
And then along came Ploning.
Judy Ann Santos speaking Cuyunon in Cuyo, Palawan with numerous unknown faces is the making …
Slither
In this movie story, Slither which I watched on DVD, Michael Rooker and Elizabeth Banks star together with some other casts. Michael plays as Grant while Elizabeth as Starla.
Both of them are husband and wife, and there’s this alienated stuff which comes into live and coming to haunt people …
My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …
Chill Out Scooby Doo
I finally got a chance to watch the Scooby Doo movie Chill Out Scooby Doo with my daughter this past weekend. It turned out to be a pretty funny full length film.
Basically, Scooby and the gang find themselves investigating a mystery about a Yeti in the Himalayas. But, I …
The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I have always been a fan of the television show Mr. Bean. I enjoyed the first Mr.Bean movie and I must say Mr. Bean’s Holiday is far better and funnier than the first one! Mr. Bean is played by the British actor, Rowan Atkinson. His adventure began when Mr. …

The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …
Hoosier Schoolboy movie
The beginning of Hoosier Schoolboy introduces the audience to a town divided by some kind of milk strike. The farmers are being accused of high pricing, so milk is being brought in from elsewhere. I have to admit, in my entire life, I have never heard of …
Wolverine the Movie
Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.
This first installement of I’m guessing all the X-men members origin is a very effective appetizer to X-men fans out there.
The arrogant and lonely Logan, …
Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …

Mystery Science Theater 3000, movie (1995)

Happy Feet Movie
Australian Director’s Animated Comedy ‘Happy Feet’ can best be described as just a fun, somewhat funny, family comedy. Lets clear from the very beginning, that while this film did win the Best Animated Film Oscar, it is not exactly the most satisfying movie experience. There is not much in …
Wild Wild West
I’m normally a Will Smith fan and I think the fact he stars in the movie Wild Wild West is the reason I find myself enjoying it; even when many others think it’s a weak film.
I used to watch the television show with my grandfather so I know quite …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
Cars movie
I finally got around to watching Cars on DVD this past weekend and I’m glad to say, I didn’t waste my money seeing it at the theater.
Cars is a good movie and one that the entire family could enjoy, especially if you’re a bunch of race fanatics. How ever, …
Sleepless in Seattle
Sleepless in Seattle is a very good romantic movie and has some good performances by the leading actors played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Tom Hanks is obviously a good performer and has proved his acting abilities in many movies and in this movie too he gives a …
The Fisher King Movie
Wow The Fisher King is probably now one of my favorite movies and probably one of the best performance by Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams. The story is so deep and heartfelt is almost made me cry at the end. The story is about this radio show host who is …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …
Android Love
I really hate this episode. I am not sure what it is about it that bothers me so much. Perhaps it is just the fact that the humanity of androids is a topic that has been covered to death ten times or more already in the world …
The Graduate Movie (1967)
The classic 1967 American film with the story that is controversial still to this day. Ben (played by Dustin Hoffman) is the typical American youth, and we begin with him returning home from college for the summer. Unsure with the direction that his life should take after school, he …
A Real Young Girl (NR, 2001) movie
I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …
Sex And Breakfast
Sex And Breakfast is a comedy film that was released in 2007. Or should I say that Sex And Breakfast is supposed to be a comedy? There were some funny moments in the film, but mostly when awkward things happened, but I would not call this movie a true …
The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994. This movie is based on a novel by Charles Dickens and it does it justice. There are two Martin Chuzzlewits in this story, the grandfather and the grandson. First we meet the grandfather (Paul Scofield), a wealthy old man haunted by a crowd of relatives trying …
Movie Idiocracy
One other movie I ended up watching on TV this past weekend was a movie called Idiocracy. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s from the same people who brought us Beavis and Butthead and, while I did watch the show when I was younger, I wasn’t …
