Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
A Friendship in Vienna movie
This movie premiered on The Disney Channel in 1988, but it is still one of the best movies that was ever shown on that network. Thirteen year Inge Dournenvald and Lise Mueller are best friends in Vienna, Austria. This is an amazing thing, because it is 1938, …
Pride and Prejudice movie
Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …
Netflix
I signed up many years ago for Netflix. I actually planned to sign up for Blockbuster by Mail but there was some problem when I tried to sign up so I eventually gave up and I just decided to sign up for Netflix instead.
After all these years I am …
The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …
Metallica: Some kind of monster
This is a documentary feature by the same couple who made the much talked about films about the “West Memphis Three” and how they where innocently convicted for murder and put on death row. Those two films features music by heavy metal band Metallica and now the filmmakers made …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
Loverboy
Last night I just saw this movie, it’s a drama movie, a little bit touch for me. Loverboy told about the mother that have a trauma in her childhood and she don’t wanna her son have a same destiny like her.
The movie use the flashback plot. It begin when …

Early in Charlton Heston’s career, he starred in The Private War of Major Benson. Benson had some attitude problems and to get him in line, he was assigned to take over the running of a boys’ school. It was the low of the low for the major. …
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
This is probably one of my fewest most favorite films of all time! Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a fictional movie that basically gravitates around the idea about love. Played by the phenomenal Jim Carrey as Joel Barish and the versatile Kate Winslet as Clementine. The plot …
Tropic Thunder
When I learned that the funny trio of Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. was realized, I couldn’t wait to see the film. Tropic Thunder is a morbid fascination with contemporary warfare. It does not present jokes in the obvious but it shoves a jokey momentum …
Yes Man movie
Yes Man is another great comedy starring Jim Carey. The movie hit the number one spot in office this weekend and it did better than Will Smith’s Seven Pounds. The movie is a success. You will get nothing but laugh with Jim Carey. There is a lot of laugh. …
The Wedding Planner
In the DVD movie I’ve watched, The Wedding Planner, it starred the unlikely duo; Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey.
Jennifer’s character plays a pretty successful wedding planner and I really like her witty dialogs. Though you might be wondering that perhaps Jennifer and Matthew’s characters wouldn’t fit together …

The X-Files: I Want to Believe
After a phenomenal television series, I was extremely disappointed with “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” by Chris Carter. Five or six years after Special Agent Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully escaped from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the FBI acquired a case which needed the expertise …
The Incredible hulk
The incredible hulk which is the second part of the movie The Hulk, is overall a nice action movie but still not as good as the first part. In the second part the hero of the movie who is actually the hulk, desperately run around to change his genetic …
The Call (Movie 2013)
As a fan of Halle Berry, I tend to tune into most everything she is featured in. When seeing the preview trailers for The Call, I was excited and dead set on seeing it. The previews were intriguing, but in a simple kind of way.
The Call isn’t meant …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (fantasy drama movie)
Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors. Also movies such as those in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit franchise are some of my favourites. Therefore it was definitely a given that I had to watch the last installment in the Hobbit movies, “The Hobbit: The Battle …
Joe Versus the Volcano (1990)
Let us take this movie apart segment by segment. Act one: Joe does not like his job, his boss of his life. Act two: Joe visits his doctor on many occasions and they can find nothing wrong with him. Act three: Joe sees a new doctor who informs him …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding movie
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a very funny movie! It will have you laughing through out the entire film. It is about a woman(Tula) that is in a Greek family, and she is somewhat embarrassed about how her family acts(like them roasting a lamb on a …
Frankie and Johnny movie
Where to start talking about this musical film, Frankie and Johnny? It’s a 1966 release that has a lot of singing Elvis Presley and, of all persons, Donna Douglas as his co-star. Douglas is best known as Elly May Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies. While I …
Jumper (2008)

Contempt: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1963)
I began binging on Art films after watching a lot of Godard’s works. I was able to gather a short preview of the film, courtesy of nytimes’ feature called the —˜critics picks’ —“ just like most of the Godard movies I’ve seen which were usually favored by critics. …
Pink Panther,2006 movie
I went to see the new “Pink Panther” with Steve Martin yesterday. My opinion is that it’s a worth-to-see-once kind of movie. I had some good laughs, but there were some jokes that annoyed me (below-the-waist humor; thankfully, there wasn’t too much of it).
Steve Martin is a good comedy …
Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …
The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
Samurai X anime
This is my favorite anime. Samurai X tells about story of one samurai named Kenshin, known as Battousai Himura. Battousai is name which people had given to him because he is a murderer. It’s said that he lived at the end of Tokugawa regime. He worked for the Japan …
Simpson Movie (2007)
LMAO FUNNY!!! The best movie of the year for kids and teens. I could watch this over and over and never get tired of it. This movie has a mix of feelings, you could go from feeling sorry for some and almost crying to laughing your pants off.Parts of …
Disney’s Mulan movie
If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …
The Big Bang Teory (Comedy)
This was the funniest American serial comedy of all time for me. It is simply funny and not that typical funny, but a smart one. I am a big fan of this serial, The Big Bang Theory. Until now, it has reached season two and over 20 episodes of …
300
First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …

Waiting to Exhale, directed by Forest Whitaker is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language and some strong sexuality.

A League of their own
Years ago we my son and I were at the beach in Ocean City and we became bored. We decided to get out of the hot sun and go see a movie. We saw a film called a League of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks, one of …
Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay
Normally, whenever a movie is a surprise hit, someone can’t wait to make a sequel to it and, more often than not, that sequel doesn’t even come close to the original.
This was the case of Harold & Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay.
The first movie, Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Movie: Unknown
I have just watched the movie UNKNOWN starring Liam Neeson, as it is just showing here in the Philippines this week. As for the title, I don’t know, at first I thought it’s going to be some kind of alien stuff or some unknown territory like Mars or …
Darkness Falls
There are very few “horror” movies on the market that truly scare me. Darkness Falls is a movie that makes me want to sleep with my lights on.
Set in a town that once wrongfully executed a disfigured woman called “the tooth fairy.” The characters in the film must deal …
Melancholia (2011 film)
Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …
Marie Antoinette (2006)
I always support the movie with female director and that’s why I was attracted to see this movie when the first time I know that Sofia Coppola has a new movie about Marie Antoinette.
As the beginning, I just want you to know that I love the trailer of this …
Robots Movie
This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …
POLAR EXPRESS DVD
Do YOU believe in Santa? I mean, do you REALLY believe? You know, you cannot hear the bells of Christmas, if you don\’t really believe, according to the DVD, The Polar Express! This is a wonderful family movie that is just so delightful to watch with the entire family. …
Inside Out (R, 2005) movie
I am not a huge fan of Eriq LaSalle’s. But when I saw that he took a directorial turn in “Crazy as Hell”, I realized that he had some sort of depth. I mention this film because in it Eriq also stars as a crazy, and mysterious …

The Green Berets movie
John Wayne was one of the most patriotic personalities in America. He was devout in his devotion, and he was very vocal. Not everyone agreed with him or liked him, but The Duke put his money where his mouth was, including producing and directing this military picture in …
