The movie Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch
I loved the first Lilo and Stitch movie. It really is one of my favorite movies and one that I could not wait to own. However, I could have been more excited when I saw that there was to be a sequel Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has A …
The Phantom
The Phantom stars Billy Zane, Kristy Swanson, Treat Williams, and James Remar.
As another movie version of a comic hero, this movie turned out to be interesting, but pretty laid back. The Phantom, alias Kit Walker, saves the world from the evil Xander Drax and …
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 …
Bad Tidings movie
I am reviewing the movie, Bad Tidings, starring John Nettles and John Hopkins as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Dan Scott. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, Bad Tidings, viewers …
BBC miniseries
This is one of those splendid BBC adaptations that is almost as good as the original novel. The novel in this case is a work by Anthony Trollope, who is one of my favorite novelists, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this movie.
The story is about a wealthy young …

Dead Presidents was a 1995 film starring Larenz Tate.It is a movie revolving around the life of a young man and his time in the Vietnan War.It is also about the experiences he has in the real world after he has been released from active duty.The movie starts …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
Doctor Who: The End of the World

Imposter Mystery
I am reviewing the episode, The Imposter Mystery, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, stars …
MacArthur film
I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
When I heard they were making a Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, I was somewhat interested. But, then I saw the previews for it and thought it would be stupid so I avoided watching it at the theater. And, when I got my DVD …
Dance Party, USA
This movie I watch with my girl friends. It really questions friendship between the 3 of us, and we were then stumped afterwards. I know that the 3 of us each questions ourselves as to what we think of one another, and whether we have dirty secrets …
Sleeping Beauty Disney 2-Disc DVD
Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.
When I was a kid, this was one of the few movies that actually managed to thrill me, and yet scare me in at least …
Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
The Number 23 (2007)
The Number 23, directed by Joel Schumacher is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for violence, disturbing images, sexuality and language. The oroginal release date was February 23, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Mystery/Thriller and stars Jim Carrey as …
D-War: Dragon Wars (2007)
You haven’t seen a crappy movie until you have seen this movie, I mean, when I first saw the preview for this movie, I was truly expecting to see one the greatest movies featuring lots and lots of dragons and mythological creatures coming to terrorize humankind, but instead, I …
Out to Sea movie
From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …
Turistas (UR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie because there are just so many slasher films out there where the “teen/college” kids get offed one by one. The difference that sets this film apart is the fact that the filming and action seem more realistic than …
The Others movie
“The Others” is a dreary, yet magical horror film-that is unlike many other supernatural horror films. The director created a dreary and sleepy backdrop to tell the story of a woman and her two children who live in a huge manor after the 2nd World War. Nicole …
The Mask (movie)
The Mask is a very funny movie. I really liked this movie. I think Jim Carey did a great job in this movie! He is a crazy party animal and he dancing. I really like how he plays with people and messing with them. I also really …
Frankenfish (2004) movie
This is another fun horror movie about some mutant fish that invade the Louisiana Bayou. The movie stars Mark Dippe and Tory Kittles. I admit I was unsure what to expect when I first picked it up, mainly due to the movie’s name. But the movie was surprisingly good! …
The Killer (movie) July, 2006
This is really one stupid movie that I have ever watched. The movie titled The Killer is a complete out and out copy of Collateral. It released on 21st July, 2006. I expected it to be some kind of a better movie as it is a Mahesh Bhatt production. …
Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead
I was told that this movie was incredibly good. I knew that there was some kind of twist in the plot. But I will admit that when I was told this, I interpreted it to mean that there would be some sort of surprise ending. …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
Little Miss Sunshine Movie
The Little Miss Sunshine padgent is the best beauty padgent of them all, and the one wish of young Olive. Wanting to compete is the competition very badly, her family decides to drive olive to the padgent in their VW bus. Put a family in a bus to go …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
Black Snake Moan movie
“Black Snake Moan” is one of the most confusing and pointless movies I have ever tried to watch. I thought it was so pointless and confusing that I never did watch all of the movie at one particular time, but finished watching the movie by watching fragments of it …
Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol 6
I have no trouble admitting this: I am a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, and I have been ever since I was a kid, watching them on Saturday mornings. But then, as I got older, I discovered that there were certain cartoons in the Warner Bros. library that …
Fright Night movie
I first time I saw this movie was some time ago on the Syfy channel. I didn’t see it from the very very start, but when I started watching it, the movie was still in its early stages. At first I didn’t expect anything much from it, and thought …
In Bruges (2008)
In Bruges (2008) is a comedy by director Martin McDonagh and is rated R for strong bloody violence, pervasive language and some drug use.
In Bruges is the story of two hitmen, Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brenden Gleeson), that are sent to Bruges, a historic medival city in Belgium, …
Bee Movie
Cute movie, very out there, but the children love it. I would say it would be a great movie to add to ur collection especially if you have children. I can’t say I think Jerry Seinfeld’s voice matched the bee. I would like to see more of a younger …
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004)
This sequel to the block buster original simply called ‘Dirty Dancing’ is basically the same movie but instead of it being staged in the United States of America, it was staged in Cuba. A young girl from a well off family goes to a retreat and falls for the …
New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.)
I would say watch this movie, New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.) if you want a dosage of humility, some form of morality watch. This movie is something that I truly praise and it has such compassion, feelings and heart. To make this kind …
Columbo: Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star movie
Shera Danese, also known as Mrs. Peter Falk, finally got first billing in this 1991 movie. She plays Trish Fairbanks in Columbo: Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star. Also appearing is Dabney Coleman as Hugh Creighton, a murderous lawyer. He’s not happy about his …
Thor Movie (2011)
This movie was much talked-about and I wasn’t really into these type of movies since they’re much more of a guy’s type of movie but since there wasn’t anything else showing in the cinema except for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Beastly, of course I opted to watch …
King of The Hill
King of the Hill is one of my favorite cartoons. The shows has great voice acting and great plots. I really love each character in their own way. One thing I like about the show is the intro music. The music gets you excited and ready for the show.
The …
Letters to Juliet Movie
A few weeks ago I rented “Letters to Juliet” from my local library. Having never seen it before it looked interesting. Let me give a brief outline of what this movie is about. This movie is about a young woman named Sophie (Amanda Sayfreid) who travels with her …
Wanted (Angelina Joulie)
Yesterday I watched Wanted movie starring Angelina Joulie. I went to see mainly Angelina in action. As usual she is at her best.
I won’t discuss the storyline here as it will understood better if you watch the movie that read reviews about it. Anyway it is about a …

Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
Ghostbusters 2
This movie is the sequel the first Ghostbusters movie. It was released roughly five years after the first Ghostbusters movie as well. In this one, unlike a few other sequels of other movies, there is the same cast list for all of the main characters. Just like in “Ghostbusters”, …
The Incredible Hulk II
I just saw Incredible Hulk II and I don’t know really what to say. no words can describe how I enjoyed watching this film which was superbly done. The special effects, the digital enhancements are all perfect! When I first saw the trailer and found out that Edward Norton …
Amadeus
Somehow, I thought that this movie was made in the 1990’s, so I was rather surprised to find out that its release date is 1984. I rented it from the library after seeing it mentioned in a book I was reading (totally unrelated) that had stirred my interest. The …
Death of a Stranger movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death of a Stranger, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian-True-May, and is based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this film, …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
Octopussy movie
Bond returns yet again on a dangerous mission, in what part of the series I haven’t even ben able to count. Still featured by Roger Moore who’s reaching the age of 50 by this time, Bond goes to India to defeat a dangerous villain who’s making threats to the …
The Eleventh Hour Environment Movie
While watching the movie, I wasn’t really shocked about it since I have watched many shows related to it; however, I felt pity towards the environment. It’s amazing how mankind can remain calm despite the disasters happening here in our planet. I was also amazed to how the movie …
Robocop movie
Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting. Robocop takes place in a future where criminality has grown out of proportion and the authorities do everything they can to …
