Repo Men Movie (2010)

Madea’s Family Reunion movie
I love Tyler Perry movies and was really anxious to see “Madea’s Family Reunion”, yet another movie with his unforgettable Madea character dispensing out advice that is somewhere between being wacky and wise. Tyler Perry wrote, directed and starred in this film about members of Madea’s family planning both …
A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Movie)
Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ is a movie that documents the first three books of the series of the same name. The movie, like with most movies adapted from books, was a rather aggravating contrast from the real book. Unlike other movies however the real contrast came …
Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Y Tu Mama Tambien was really hard for me to follow. It is the story of two young men, Tenoch and Julio. Julio and Tenoch decide to go to the beach and convince Luisa to go with them. Tenoch and Julio are like college age and Luisa is an …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
Pitch Perfect 2 (musical comedy movie)
After enjoying the prequel “Pitch Perfect”, I found that I was interested in watching the sequel “Pitch Perfect 2″. I imagined that it would be just as funny and entertaining as the first even though I know that a lot of sequels tend to flop.
Well, after I watched it I …
Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
Freedom Writers
I’m sure many people have watched Freedom Writers, the movie before. However, I just managed to watch this on DVD the other few nights back and this is indeed a true story that I certainly has learned a lot just by watching.
This is like a gang …
The Outsiders movie
I simply enjoy doing reviews for old movies because you have the advantage of knowing how they effect people and very importantly what happens to the actors afterwards. “The Outsiders” is a classic movie that goes down in history. Apart from the fact that it is directed from the …
“The Great Debaters” Movie on DVD
I looked forward to watching “The Great Debaters” because I hoped to pick up some pointers on how to argue more persuasively. I thought it would be like the movie, “Akeelah and the Bee”, which involves the quest of a young girl to win the national spelling bee. After …
Creepshow 3
The 3rd movie from the Creepshow saga. Im a big fan of the 1st 2 creepshows but this one was horrible. The movie contains 5 short stories , “Alice” which is about a spoiled brat thats caught between 2 universes using a demonic tv remote, “The Radio” a talking …
Stalag 17 movie
Stalag 17 is another classic picture which deals with World War II. This movie actually was the impetus for the Hogan’s Heroes TV series, though the movie is definitely a drama and not a comedy. William Holden excels as the American prisoner that is very much disliked …
I Am Number Four ( 2011 Movie )
Movie adaptation has been too prevalent nowadays. The film “I Am Number Four” is based from the novel of the same title by Pittacus Lore. The movie stars Alex Pettyfer as Number Four and Diana Agron of Glee as Pettyfer’s love interest in the film. The movie is directed …
Avatar in Digital 3D
I wanted to write about Avatar while it’s still fresh in my mind. I watched it on December 24, 2009 for a hefty fee of $14.99 (that’s how much it costs to watch a full-blown digital 3D movie these days). On second thought, this cost is not …
Unforgiven Movie (1992)
Clint Eastwood’s crowning achievement, the masterpiece known as Unforgiven. The film that reinvigorated a genre known as the American Western.

Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie
Beyond Witch Mountain was actually an hour long pilot movie for a potential TV series. It was made for TV in 1982 and at the time was the third Witch Mountain production. Two more followed it as time passed.
What was interesting to me about this is that …
The flight of the phoenix movie
When a plane crashes in the middle of the Sahara desert, the people on board are seemingly left beyond rescue, but it appears one of the passengers is an airplane constructor and is able to rebuild the plane they where travelling in.
This is definitely not one of Robert Aldrich’s …

Bloodrayne
Bloodrayne is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time and considering how many movies I watch a year, that’s saying a lot. The only reason I watched the movie is because it had Billy Zane in it and I’ve been a fan of his since …
The Hunters (Movie)
was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
Blade Runner movie
The cult favorite for many people among science fiction films, that shows the future society as a dirty and dark place with a lot of criminality. Harrison Ford is the private detective who gets involved in a complicated mess with a new, robot-like species plotting to do evil things …
The Stepfather Movie
Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn), a real estate agent, has chosen a rather unusual path in life, to put it mildly: he moves in with single mothers with children, plays a good husband/stepfather for a while, and then murders the family and takes off. He takes precautions like changing his …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …
Rango Movie
I looked forward to going to see Rango for probably three reasons. Number one of course was getting to hang out with my nephew and secondly I was looking forward to the movie because it looked good in the trailers. The third reason? I was looking …
9 to 5 (1980)
Three woman gang together to over throw their abusive boss that is the whole nature of this movie, the plot is tight around this fact and it makes for a wonderful movie for all to enjoy. Dolly Parton plays the role of the under appreciated secretary, one that has …
Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island
I was looking for movies my oldest daughter could watch on our Netflix player and came across an older one “Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island.”
This film is essentially a spoof of the old Fantasy Island show that used to be on TV (which my daughter is too young to …
Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
Double Jeopardy
I am reviewing the movie, Double Jeopardy, starring Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd. Ashely Judd’s character seems to have the perfect marriage. One night, however, she awakes to find blood all over her yaught and her husband missing. It is assumed that her husband has been …
Miami Vice
I used to hear a lot about the nineteen eighties series “Miami Vice” but since I was born in the eightites, I never got a chance to see what it was like. However, when I saw the movie Miami Vice, starring Colin Farrel and Jamie Fox I thought it …
Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …
Glory movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.
Let’s face it, it’s Matthew Broderick in an actually serious role as a civil war colonel in charge of an …
Spiderman:The Movie
I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …
Push
I think that Push the movie is not that bad but not that great either. Honestly speaking, it has some good and bad moments. Child actress Dakota Fanning is charming as always but I find that her role could have been better.
Maybe because this is kind …
Shawshank Redemption movie
Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …
Road Show movie
Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …
Zoo (UR, 2007) documentary
There was a man who once had sex with a horse and died from a ruptured colon. I found this story hard to believe until I realized that there was a documentary on the event. It’s obviously not told by the man, but by another …
The Fan (1996)
The Fan, directed by Tony Scott is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong language throughout and some intense violence.

A Night to Remember movie
I watched a British Film called “A Night to Remember” which is a movie about the sinking of the Titanic. I know that there have been other movies made about the sinking of the Titanic however this was made in 1958.
Interestingly, this was made in black and white. …
The Quiet Earth Movie
One morning an ordinary man wakes up and realizes he is the only alive on earth. Almost the only one, at least.
A production from New Zeeland from the same director who did the studid sequel to Under Siege with Steven Seagal, and that can be noticed here. This film …
Thor (movie 2011)
Thor…Thor…Thor…
If you’ve never heard or read about norse mythology then this name might mean nothing to you. Apparently, I have a little background so I know who Thor is. Thor is the
God of thunder (that’s the only thing that I could remember though), in the movie he also …
Above the Law (1988)
This movie is about a former CIA Agent who is now a Chicago police officer. When he and his partner decide to investigate a drug ring in the city, events unfold that neither of them were prepared to deal with. All the drug dealers that were arrested by the …
Gigli
Gigli is a good movie to watch for a weekend afternoon. The film starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in the lead roles has all the elements needed for a good movie. It has action, it has romance, it has humour and above all it has some fine emotional …
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
My oldest daughter is reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at school right now and, since it was on last night, I decided to let her stay up and watch the Gene Wilder film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Even though this movie is 4 years older than I …
The Time Guardian Movie
Yet another “in the future the machines will take over the world and destroy all humans” kind of film, this time about a city trying to transport themselves with a time machine but fails. They then face the gruesome cyborgs (part machines, part human) who threaten to kill them …
