Romeo Must Die movie
One of those Hollywod mixtures between asian martial-arts and plain old-fashioned action that features Jet Li in the role of a cop in seek of revenge for his brother’s death. Every time someone is shot in this film, we see the audience penetrate the human flesh on some kind …
Croc (2006) (movie)
Croc is a thrilling horror movie about a large, twenty-foot long killer salt-water crocodile in Thailand. I just finished watching it not long ago and it was very good. The acting was decent and the plot kept moving along at a fast pace. There were several scary moments throughout …

Air Force One the Movie
This is one of my all-time favorite movies which I watch every time I get the chance. AXN featured it this afternoon and even though I know this movie by heart, I could not resist watching it again. This is one of Harrison Ford’s unforgettable movies like Indiana Jones …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is the sequel to the very popular Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In my opinion, a disappointing sequel. In my eyes, it is the death of a sequel when the makers of the …
Wanted (R, 2008) movie
I had been dying to see Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy in this hot action thriller. But there are several things that I am really not happy with. First of all, Angelina was a bit too thin to really be considered a sex symbol. It is …
17 Again movie
WHen I saw the movie “17 Again” advertising earlier on this year, I had no intention of watching it for several reasons. The main one was because the lead actor was supposed to be the Disney actor Zac Effron who is famous for movies such as High School Musical …
Land of the Lost
I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.
Well, I watched it this past weekend and it turns out I was right.
This movie just wasn’t that good. Ferrell is supposed to be some sort of genius scientist …

Film Watchmen
I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …
Limitless Movie
I had not heard anything about Limitless when I walked into the theater and sat down to watch it. My initial reaction at hearing that Bradley Cooper was playing the main character was to wonder if he could pull that off; sure he has been successful as a side …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
The Blind Side 2010 Movie
The Blind Side tells the true story of Michael Oher and how he was taken in by the Tuohy family. It shows how he overcame great obstacles to become an athlete and eventually came to play for the Baltimore Ravens.
Since this is a true story, I can spoil …
Music and Lyrics
I went to this movie because I usually like Drew Barrymore movies and I also have liked Hugh Grant in other movies. I actually quite enjoyed this movie, wherein Hugh Grant plays a washed up 80s boyband singer and Drew Barrymore plays, well, I’m not certain what her job …

Man of the Year came outi n October 2006 and stars Robin Williams, Christopher Walken, Lewis Black and Jeff Goldblum. Robin Williams plays Tom Dobbs, a Comedy/News Show host (like John Stewart) who runs for the President of the United States after a suggestion by one of his studio …
Ever After Movie
There are so many different versions of the Cinderella story out there, but “Ever After” is by far the greatest of them all, and my favorite movie of all time. What makes this movie different from the others is that they made the movie in a very realistic …
Trocadero movie
Trocadero is one of the more entertaining movies that I’ve watched recently, and I’ve been watching a ton of motion pictures of late. From 1944, the movie stars Charles Calvert as Tony Rocadero. He was a foreigner who adopted two children he loved dearly, Judy and Johnny. …
Ghost Rider (UR, 2007) movie
I typically do not like comic book films. But I will admit that this little movie starring Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider won me over with little effort. What I liked in particular was the way his transformation into the Ghost Rider was filmed. …
X-Men: Days of Future Past (movie)
One of the movies that I went to see fairly recently was the latest in the X-Men series, which was X-Men: Days of Future Past. Missing it would not have been an option for me since I loved watching the animated series and reading the comics growing up, the …
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 …
Grease
At the time of its release, many critics were apt to complain about the casting of Grease. They thought that the ages of the actors, playing much younger characters, was a hindrance and that the film would suffer. The huge box office that this fun and extremely lovable film …

Movie White Chicks
The movie White Chicks is a very funny one. I love this movie and would see it all over again. It’s very funny. The stars are the Wayne’s brothers. They were the white chicks. They got transplant and look like white chicks. The funny part is that they don’t …
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Movie
I have never played, seen or experienced Final Fantasy in any way shape or form until Advent Children came out and WOW!! This is the film based on the seventh game and it was amazing.

The Flim-Flam Man,1967 movie
This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out! He plays (wonderfully) a veteran con artist named Mordecai Jones who maintains that “you can’t cheat an honest …
Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …
Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
Netflix.com
When I first saw that Netflix was offering the same thing that Blockbuster was, but with the “Watch Instantly” option, I thought that it had to be the coolest thing ever. And it really is. I had been using Blockbuster.com for a year and was really …
Mash the movie
The movie MASH is a classic and has only been outdone by the television series that spun off from it. It’s one of the best war movies ever made.
The movie has just the right amount of comedy and drama to be enjoyable to everyone who watches it, both young …
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Guru movie
Guru movie review: - Guru has been directed by a legendary director Mani Ratnam, this movie is rumored to have been inspired by Dhirubhai Ambani, the story is about a common man Guru Kant Desai who starts with nothing and end up as a most successful business man in …
Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …
The Real Blair Witch (2003)
The Real Blair Witch is a television documentary that has little to do with the 1999 movie —˜The Blair Witch Project’ other than it involves some film footage that is debatable as to whether it is real or not. In 2002 a group of high school friends in …
Underdog the Movie
Just imagine Lassie with super powers, Good Boy with manners and you get Underdog. If you loved watching movies featuring animals, then you probably already know how this movie will end. It was really painful to watch, and I had to endure it for a long time since I …

Uncommon Valor movie
In the early 80’s, I remember watching this movie about Marines going on some kind of special meeting. This was one of those movies that used to air a lot on late night television, long before cable came about for most of us. I loved the movie …
Schindler’s List
I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …
Ice Age -Movie One in the Trilogy
I watched this movie a long time ago and then again recently; I recall then thinking that it was childish -which I suppose is good because it’s mostly a kid’s movie but I had hoped it would entertain me too- and that I would not care so much …

Movie : The Fair Haired Child
The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …
Batman Begins
his was a brilliantly made entry, not only in the realm of comic book characters coming to the big screen, but in the Batman mythos itself. Sure, there were the previous films with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, all well acted. But, with the exception of the …
Catwoman movie
