Pan’s Labyrinth
The other night I watched a very unique movie called Pan’s Labyrinth, or El Laberinto del fauno. I really enjoyed this movie. Pan’s Labyrinth was out in 2006. The movie is set in the time of the Spanish civil war. Pan’s Labyrinth primarily follows the …

Drew Peterson: Untouchable, movie
I have to admit, that I don’t like a lot of Lifetime dramas since I believe that a lot of them are just plain mediocre when it comes to the acting, the plot and the overall way in which the entire thing was put together. There are even some …
Swarmed movie
Swarmed is essentially a movie about a lot big, bad bugs, specifically wasps. It all starts with an experimental chemical that gets taken from a lab and sprayed on some wasps. It’s not a good thing. The wasps become more intense and people-hungry as the movie …
First Daughter movie
The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …
X-Men Evolution cartoon
“X-Men Evolution” was one of the best X-men Cartoons I can remember. On the other hand though it was the second X-men cartoon I can remember watching. It came out I think a little after the second X-men live action movie, and I liked it because the drawings were …
Primeval
There was something missing with this film. I know that it followed lots of formulas about somet kind of big monster lurking in the exotic wilderness of a foreign land. As usual, there is the requisite bunch of diverse “scientists/explorers/writers” (pick one) with the ONE beautiful …
Hitler : The rise of the evil
As the name says this movie is about Hitler and world was second. Hitler role has been played by Ben kingsly who has done a fantastic job. The movie is very well made in covers the dark period of second world war very effectively It also shows how Hitler …
ROPE-Alfred Hitchcock
Over-hyped, just like some of the Godard or Spielberg movies, this film too is rather carried off by the star-value of the director than the content itself. The very concept that the director has tried to work in the film (it was an experimental venture by his …

Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Playing an airman that has a personality …
Erin Brockovich
The movie “Erin Brockovich” came out in 2000 and I rushed out and bought it the moment it became available on DVD. This movie was inspiring to me because she didn’t let anything hold her back. Julia Roberts portrayal of Erin Brockovich was astounding. I have …
The Man in the Iron Mask
“The Man in the Iron Mask” comes with a lot of luggage for Leonardo diCaprio. The actor was involved in this movie project after he was denied the pleasure of being nominated for an Oscar for his interpretation of Jack in “The Titanic”. His reaction was deemed immature by …
Movie Into the Wild
Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …
Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
Taking The Lead
Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown, and Alfre Woodard.
Right from the beginning, I began to mentally attack this movie as being hard to believe even though it is based on a true story. Banderas played a French dance teacher, yet his Spanish accent …
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 …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
The 40-Year Old Virgin (UR, 2005) movie
I underrated the quality of this film. As usual, I passed this over in movie theatres because I felt that perhaps it would be just too silly. And this time I was right—but it was silly in a fabulous way. I love how the humor is …
Disney’s Aladdin movie (1992)
Aladdin was part of the series of Disney films that I love so much. It was part of the series of films that Disney made with its come back during the 1980s and 1990s. I had not read the story Aladdin was …
Movie The Bad Seed
I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …
Two Hours of My Life I’ll Never Get Back
I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, as I believe that the true story of the murder of Elizabeth Short is quite interesting. This movie was SUCH an amazing let down!!!! The focus on this film failed to be the murder of Elizabeth Short, but rather a …
Dumb and Dumber To - Comedy Movie (2014)
I went in expecting this movie to be as funny as its prequel (Dumb and Dumber), which released 20 years ago. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but nevertheless it was funny. It was extremely ‘dumb’ enough to invoke laughter throughout the film. The film has done extremely …
John Tucker Must Die (Movie)
This is a very fun and nice movie to watch! This is perfect for teens and adults and for couples as it’s really funny and the story is all about a guy named John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) who has a lot of girlfriends, and when the girls find out …
My Bloody Valentine movie
My Bloody Valentine has risen to the level of cult status not so much by what’s on screen, but by what is not on screen.
In 1981, Paramount released this Friday the 13th clone in theaters on Valentine’s Day and, despite having a really cool theme (mad killer returns to …

Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring
My daughter loves Tom & Jerry cartoons. So, when I saw I could load the hour-long movie Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on our Netflix player for her, I did.
I ended up watching it with her last night and it was an OK cartoon but I guess I’m …
An American Crime (R, 2007) movie
This is one film that a lot of Ellen Page fans have probably missed out on. This movie follows the chilling, and true story of Sylvia Likens. Sylvia was a 16 year old girl killed in the mid 1960’s through a long, drawn out case …
The Getaway (1994)
Doc McCoy, played by Alec Baldwin, and his wife Carol McCoy, played by Kim Basinger, are out for one more score. Getting themselves prepared is not a very bad thing to day at all, and if one is to be good at the craft one does, then practice is …
The Deaths of Ian Stone Movie
The Deaths of Ian Stone is one of the more interesting movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest series of horror movies. I’ve heard from a lot of people that the movie was just plain bad, or that they hated it. I didn’t hate it, but …
‘Shutter Island’ movie
I remember seeing trailers for this movie a few years back, but I don’t recall hearing anything one way or the other. The trailers made it look like a solid psychological thriller, so I figured I’d check it out.
The premise is simple enough, a federal marshall goes …
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
I watched this the other day and it was awesome. Audrey Tautou’s performance is really thumbs-up and even though this movie is a long-ago one, I find it super awesome, get what I mean. If you don’t believe, watch it and you will understand what I am trying …
Harry Potter and the Sorceror
I’m home today because it’s Saturday and I can’t really afford to go out and do much more than sit around the house and watch movies all day.
One movie we ended up watching today was Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this …
Twilight Tragedy
If I can take any one thing from the new hit movie “New Moon” it would be that it is a noble, valiant thing to kill yourself over a lost loved one. What an epiphany! Actually, i am somewhat offended at the vast love people seem to have for …
Mad Money movie
I really enjoyed this movie although it could have been a little more funnier. It wasn’t as funny as I thought it was going to be but it did keep me entertained and interested as to what was going to happen. All of the actors especially the main the …
Danville Stadium Cinemas, Danville Virginia
The Georgia Theatre Company operates many movie theatres in the southern areas of the United States, and Virginia is no exception. The only theater provided in the Danville, VA area is the Danville Stadium Cinemas 12 (although I’m unsure of why the name is plural).
As the Danville Stadium is …
Tamara [DVD], horror movie
Oh great a horror movie from Lions Gate that has a hot leading lady, trendy music, and enough promised gore to make a seventeen year old boy jump for joy. This has got to be a classic Halloween movie that will stay in our collections forever. Oh wait never …
Dragon Wars DVD
Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …
Shaolin Soccer (2004)
Soccer comes into the homeland and homes of the viewing public, Asian style. This movie tries to convey the importance of soccer to the American public but using the over the top movie, filled with action and comedy to get them involved into entertaining the fact that soccer is …
The X Files: I Want To Believe
It’s been a few years since Mulder and Scully apparently called case closed on their last X-File, but you can’t keep a pair like that down for long.
Finally, after nine hit and miss years of the popular sci-fi drama; the franchise resumes with this latest big screen offering, …
Movie Mirrors
This movie was a movie that could have been awesome. It had an excellent base story line but it just lacked … SOMETHING. I don’t know what exactly it was, but it lacked. I love the big old run down mall that they had to protect every night, I …
Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief Movie (2010)
This seemed like a real cool movie when we saw the trailer at the theatre but it didn’t seem like my cup of tea because it’s more suitable for teenagers, but since I have lots of free movie passes, I decided to watch and try this movie.
The movie is …

The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
The Night They Took Miss Beautiful movie
From 1977, this is a B-movie, if that, that takes beauty pageants and makes a joke out of them. The movie is called The Night They Took Miss Beautiful and stars some very recognizable names, such as Chuck Conners as Mike O’Toole, the head of the airport from …
Movie: Godzilla: King of the Monsters
