Movies Reviews
50 First Dates
This is a fun yet predictable movie starring Adma Sandler (enough said on what kind of movie to expect) basically the story goes like this. Adam Sandler plays the part of an average dude who lives in Hawaii and falls for a blonde (Drew Barrymore) which he met in …
Mean Girls
I was a Lindsay Lohan fan before all the controversy about her surfaced. I think she’s really pretty and talented. I especially like her in Freaky Friday. But when she started acting up and many negative things about her came out, I stopped watching her movies all together. But …
For the Love of the Game
When I was much younger I didn’t like the actor Kevin Costner since I didn’t understand most of his movies at the time. However, recently I have begun to respect him very much as one of the few very good actors so I was intrigued recently when I found …

The Ocean’s Trilogy, 3 caper comedies films by Steven Soderbergh
There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …
South Pacific movie
South Pacific is a classic 1959 musical that began as a stage play and which has been redone over the years. It’s a marvelous motion picture with outstanding cinematography, sensational musical numbers, and some superb acting. Let me say up front that this review includes a key …

Gangster (movie), 2006
I watched Gangster on TV and I really liked the film. It released on 28th April, 2006. I could not watch the movie at theatre because I had my University exam in May, 2006. But I really wished to watch it at theatre especially after the controversy that this …
Guess Who (2005 movie)
I’m still wondering if this is a remake of the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, for it does not have the flair of the original (that’s of course, if it is a remake). Ashton Kutcher (Simon Green) co-stars with Bernie Mac (Percy Jones) in this family comedy that …
The Slayers Anime Season 1
The Slayers is an anime set in a fantasy universe in which a sorceress named Lina Inverse raids bandit gangs and steals their treasure from them, while using her magic to literally blow them away. After one of these escapades, she meets the dashingly handsome but equally dimwitted …
Gun (Bluray), 2011 action film
Famous rapper, video game hero, and now for some reason movie star and maker, 50 Cent gives us his next film entitled Gun. The decision for this movie to be a direct to DVD film was a smart one because, after a second viewing, Gun is no more than …
Movie Labyrinth (1986)
In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …
Withnail and I Movie
Two unemployed actors get tired of hanging around and doing nothing in London, so they decide to go on a journey to the countryside for a while. They soon come to understand that this maybe wasn’t really such a good idea as they find it incredibly difficult to settle …
Relic Movie
Relic is one of my favorite movies, though the book the film was based on is much better. The movie takes place entirely at a natural history museum in New York. One of the museum workers sends a relic that he found overseas back to the museum and it …
The Fighting Sullivans
A couple days ago I first saw the film ‘The Fighting Sullivans’, and I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed it. It was released in 1944, and was based on the true story of the Sullivan brothers, all of whom fought in World War II (don’t want to …
Movie Calendar Girls
I have always wanted to see this movie but somehow each time I go to noldge a video I never remember to take this movie so I always take something else. Anyway. fortunately few days ago it was on tv and I really liked it.
It is a movie about …
10,000 B.C.
My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …
Doctor Strange, 2016 movie
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with “Doctor Strange”. Not only does this movie introduce a new hero and defender of the Earth, but it even manages to expand the scope of the already epic franchise as a whole.
True, it is an origin story, but it …
Return of the Pink Panther
Peter Sellars returns to the roll of Inspector Clouseau after having seen him last in the popular Shot in the Dark. The plot of Return of the Pink Panther finds things pretty well back to normal. Dreyfus is still Clouseau’s boss, even after having taken drastic measures to dispose …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005 movie)
Remake of a popular TV series, this movie lacked the quality to keep me interested for even a short while. Where was the direction? It sure as hell didn’t leave me wanting more, I didn’t even want a little. This is yet another dumb movie that will fade away …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …
Blue Hawaii movie
Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)
There is always this magnificent beauty that the nature emits. It is something so rare especially for people like me who have lived in the city for so many years now. Away from all the trees, untainted rivers, and the calming sound of the creatures that add peace to the …
Hard Candy movie
There are few movies which can frazzle me. I typically can shrug off any gore or suspense thrown my way. I’m not easily affected. However, every so often, a movie comes along that picks me up, slaps me in the face, twirls me around and then …
The Fireman movie
A house owner has joined a deal with the firesquad executive which will enable him to get insurance money if the fire department lets his house burn to the ground. In the middle of this situation stands The Tramp, played by Charlie Chaplin of course, who knows nothing about …
Friends with Money (R, 2006) movie
I don’t particularly like movies with Jennifer Aniston in them. But I will be the first to admit that more and more her films are growing on me. This is only because the three I’ve seen (Derailed, Friends w/ Money, and The Good Girl) provided me with …
Toy Story 3 Movie (2010)
In all the toy story movies I have ever watched, this was the most emotional and dramatic ever! My first comment is - it’s not really for kids, they wouldn’t even understand half of what’s going on, second, it’s cartoons for adults, the jokes are for adults, the punchlines, …
Third Harry Potter Movie
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …
Sin City Spoke To My Soul
It’s rare that I watch a movie and actually develop an opinion about it or respond emotionally to it. Well, I saw Sin City a few days ago and I am totally ambivalent towards it. I’ll say right now that it gets a 5, and here’s why: …
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 …
Clash of the Titans movie
For those of you that you were born too late (like me), Clash of the Titans is a film appeared in 1981, which used some sort of an animation for special effects. But in this review we won’t talk about that movie. We will be talking about the remake. …
When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …
Exam movie
This is a review of an older film, called Exam , modest, but not necessarily weak. A British film that I watched with pleasure.
Exam tells the story of eight talented candidates who are facing the last task that they need to complete to be admitted as employees of a …
21 Grams
The movie 21 Grams stars Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio De Toro. It focuses on their three characters and how their lives are interlinked.
Naomi Watts is fantastic as a recovered addict who lost her husband and kids to a car accident and is now struggling with sobriety. …
Happy Feet Movie
My one year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. We have the DVD and I believe we have watched this movie atleast twenty times. She adores the dancing and singing and gets the happy feet herself as she dances non stop to the musicals. I myself love the humor …
Manhunter movie
Michael Mann’s depiction of the story Red Dragon with Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter. This film was actually made before The Silent of the Lambs, the second film from the same novel series. Manhunter is made in a completely different style, very close to that colorful look of the …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
The Main Event movie
In 1979, Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal teamed up for their second movie together in The Main Event. They’d been wildly popular with their earlier film, What’s Up, Doc? and here, they tried to make movie magic again. It’s actually not a bad movie. I enjoyed …

This is the story about a house with a horrific past, one that is true to this day in actuality, it claims of a house that is haunted and anyone who lives in the house are doomed to face a terrible death. A family, without prior knowledge of the …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …
Sky High movie
Sky High really surprised me. I thought it would be a totally silly movie with crude humor. Well, it is silly, but it’s fun silly, the way good, old fashioned comedy used to be, and that’s why I like it. Sky High is in a reality …
Henry & June (movie)
Henry & June is about writer Henry Miller and his wife June. Following the path of other artists before and after, Henry Miller must have been quite a handful. Henry and June meet up with writer Anais Nin while in Paris and they both fall in love with her. …
Harry Potter Movie: Goblet of Fire
As a fan of the Harry Potter series, I have to admit some disappointment in the movies. There has been no continuity in environment. To their credit, most of the main characters have remained the same, which makes the recognition factor easier.
Yet, from one movie to the next, Hogwarts …
Twilight
I went to watch the movie Twilight with my friends, as we all were going crazy after watching the movie trailer; we were already fans of twilight before the movie came out as we had a book club. I loved reading all the series.
When we watched the movie, it …

The Purge: Anarchy (horror movie)
With the movie “The Purge” and its original concept that I liked, I knew that I most definitely had to and see its sequel “The Purge: Anarchy”. However, it was a matter of making the decision to see it in the cinema or on Blu-ray, because I didn’t think that …
A Cinderella Story Movie
When I found out that there will be a Cinderella Story, I wonder if it will be the same as Ever After, the movie of Drew Barrymore, but it was way different. Being Hillary Duff as the lead, Sam Montgomery , a youthful version of Cinderella came out.
It was …
The wrong number
‘The wrong number’ is a book written by R.L.Stine. In the beginning of this book, everything seems to be all right and there is simply no scent of a mystery or adventure. There are two friends, Deena and Jade. They are very good friends and they spend much time …
