Match Point (R, 2005) movie
Match Point is not like you typical Woody Allen film. Usually his movies are filled with intelligent snarky humor and strange situations. This movie, while filmed in a bright and airy way, was really quite dark. What I liked in particular was my ability …

Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …

Ghost Busters movie
My wife and I have been spending a great deal of time watching the show Ghost Hunters. So, as a change of pace, I decided to watch what I like to refer to as the original Ghost Hunters; the movie Ghost Busters.
This film, though a bit dated, is still …
Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …

The grudge 2
I watched the grudge 2 a while ago. There are a couple of things about the movie that I didn’t like. First of, I think they should have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in the movie a lot longer than they did. Second, there were parts that were supposed to …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Sex and the city - the movie
For those who are worried abou reading this incase I give away anything about the film, read on, I am not going to!
When I heard that there was going to be a Sex and the city movie, I could not contain my excitement. I have watched the TV series …
Black Snake Moan (R,2007) movie
After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …
Lt. Robin Crusoe USN
This is not one of Disney’s most well acclaimed live action films to emerge from the 1960’s. Most critics pretty well abhor it, though, suprisingly, it was one of the most popular films from the year it was released.
Disney favorite Dick Van Dyke stars as Robin Crusoe a navy …

Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …
Re-Animator
The movie, the Re-Animator, is based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s novel of the same name. It’s a massive gorefest, filled with loads of blood, nudity, and a very addictive theme song. This isn’t what you would call a zombie movie, or a infection or virus movie either, but it …
Redbox Rental Service
I love Redbox. It’s a vending machine that dispenses movies, even Blu-rays, with 19 locations within 10 miles of my home. At first DVDs were $1 per movie per night. Now they are $1.20 plus tax. However I think it’s still a great deal. I usually grab a movie …
Barney and friends CD
This is a wonderful cd where Barney, the purple dinosour and his friend, baby Bop and BJ teaches little children on how to play safe. They share lessons with the kids about safety rules for playgrounds and parks, while still having fun. Also in this CD the pretend …
Archipelago (movie)
I love watching independent films, especially ones from countries around the world. Therefore, what this means is that I sometimes go searching for new ones and get excited whenever I hear of one that’s really good. Well, recently I’d been hearing a lot about an independent film named …
Ma and Pa Kettle
Universal International Studios struck a gold mine when they launched Ma and Pa Kettle in 1949. It would be the first of nine pictures focused on these country characters. However, Ma and Pa actually first began in another movie, one I enjoy a lot, called The Egg …
Man on Fire film
One of the best action films I have ever seen. Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning are the lead cast in this film and a do a superb job to say the least! Denzel plays a lost man trying to find peace, do to a obvious history of violence and …
Jack Reacher 2012 Film
I recommend this film to all lovers of action films and thrillers. This film was created with a very good sense of what the lovers of these genres want.
I surely enjoyed the two hours that I spent watching this film. Even though the quality of the streaming video that …
Mr Death movie
Errol Morris is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers. This time he tells the story of a strange man who verifies the quality of electric chairs for a living, hence the title. But he was also controversial for another reason. He was given a mission to travel to a …
Scent of a Woman
This is one of Hollywood’s classic movies which tackles a very difficult argument about living life to the full and suicides. What I really like about this movie is Al Pacino excellent performance of the role Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade. It is no doubt that he won the Oscar …
Eating Out (movie)
“Eating Out” has to be hands down one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I’ve seen a great many movies in my very short lifetime. I discovered this movie when I was reading an article about something else on a popular website. I looked it up on …
Bedtime Stories movie
I’m not as big of an Adam Sandler fan as I used to be. This is mostly because his movies always seem to rehash basically the same plot and some of the films are so terrible I can’t get through 10 minutes.
But, we decided to pick up Bedtime Stories …
Vampires Suck (Movie)
I’m so sick of Twilight and every other vampire detective-lost boy-romantic in a virtual quest to woo the girl and get his soul back that I could hurl. So naturally, when I heard about ‘Vampires Suck’, a Twilight spoof, I had to go see it. Initially I had somewhat …
Movie “30 Days of Night”
I adore this movie. I have always loved vampire movies. I don’t consider myself a huge vampire fan, so much as a fan of a certain type of horror movie. I enjoy supernatural horror films quite a bit. A good haunting, a vampire or a …
Moonstruck (1987)
Moonstruck is a great romantic comedy starring Cher as an Italian American woman, named Loretta Castorini, who falls in love with her fiance’s brother, played by Nicolas Cage. I have never cared much for Cher’s music or singing voice, but I think she’s an excellent actress and I wish …
A Night at the Museum
“A Night at the Museum” is a great comedy/fantasy movie with the actor, Ben Stiller at his best. I personally like Stiller in the movies “Meet the Fuckers”, “The Heartbreak Kid” and “There is something about Mary”, however I also like him when he does something completely different, just …
Black Friday Movie
Black Friday : Movie Black Friday is a hard hitting film, based on the real incident of the Bomb Blasts that took place in Mumbai, (Indian City) in 1993. The story starts with a ‘mukhabir’ coming in a police station with a news that there is a planned series …
Doctor Dolittle
Doctor Dolittle is a delightful musical that has stood up through the test of time as an entertaining film. Oddly, when released in 1967, it didn’t do well. Musicals were sadly on their way out, and Doctor Dolittle was one of the victims. However, it’s become …
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 …
Movie V for Vendetta
This movie was a tough one. It is at times confusing, at times preachy, and at times extremely disturbing, but I am glad that I stuck it out and I would reccommend that you do the same.
This film is of the genre of apocolyptic futures: it portrays where …
War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …
Midnight Special (2016 Science Fiction Film)
I am a sucker of good sci-fi flicks. There is something about the genre that doesn’t scream “boring”. However, I tend to ignore sci-fi features that don’t generate good interests from critics and audiences alike.
So when I looked at the stats of these film, it struck a chord. A …
Knowing movie
I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Living The Dream
Another drama movie that I have watched would be Living the Dream. This is about making a change in life kind of story, but having some form of hindrance at the same time.
It tells about Brenda, and Jonathan, an immigrant person. Both of them grew up from …
The Freedom Writers (Movie )
I really loved this movie. I found it to be very moving & inspiring.

Hitman
I can remember seeing the movie “Hitman” advertising to be released however, I was a bit unsure as the type of movie it would be and soon forgot about it. However, I was reminded about it again in 2007 when I saw one of my friends watching it online. …
Movie “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
Acclaimed crew of movie authorities, glorified by hugely successful “The Pirates of the Caribbean”, brought forth a new fiction. This one is based on one of the most popular computer games ever. The Persian Prince, The Sands of Time, is composed by the author of the game himself, Jordan …
