Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing. The screenplay of the movie is decent but it wasn’t utilized properly. As a horror movie, ‘Ouija’ completely fails. It wasn’t enjoyable …
One Missed Call (PG-13, 2008) movie
How laughable this film was. I am almost ashamed to admit that I rented it from Netflix. Usually, I will see the Asian original before seeing the Americanized version. This is one instance where I wish I had. For the most part, the …
Spider Man 3
I went to see Spider Man 3 last weekend with some friends. I guess I have to say first off that I’m not a huge fan of Spider Man, but like it well enough to see the movies. I liked the second movie better than the first, but I …

Monkeybone (2001 Film)
While the title Monkeybone, might sound the perfect movie for the younger audience and something that adults would not find humorous—¦..you might be right. While I am not saying that adults would not appreciate this film as well, I think that the humor behind it might be best suited …
Paul Mooney: Analyzing White America (NR, 2002)
I had seen Paul Mooney’s other comedy DVD and was quite pleased. Ordinarily, I like Mooney’s brand of sarcastic humor, and his blatant and frank opinions about the state of society. However, this DVD, which delves deeply into issues concerning white people (and their differences from other …
Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …
The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

I Legend movie
Independence Day, Wild. Wild West, Men in Black, I Robot, I legend. Main ingredient Will Smith plus flat imagination, lots of special effects. I fell asleep, I felt ripped off. There were dramatic moderately high points in the movie. The scripts were not original, Smith …
The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
Feed (NR, 2005) movie
If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …

Puncture (movie)

Idiocracy (R, 2006) movie

Movie Deception
Overall this was an alright movie, I thought that it could have been a lot better. It kind of dragged out some during the beginning of the movie. There was also too much sex in the movie, I thought anyway. It’s about this accountant who meets this guy and …
Borat film

The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
Gidget (TV Series)
After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …

Whisper of the Heart movie
Another good good good!
Another topnotch of Ghibli stuff. This is is one of the romance movie I have seen without cliche and it tackles so much about life in a very simple way. Though its an old movie it definitely deserves a second look.

Chorlette’s web
