My Blue Heaven
This past weekend was the first time I had a chance to sit down and watch the movie My Blue Heaven. It was an OK film but it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be and almost a waste of my time this past weekend.
I’m usually a …
Graduation Day
I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …
Happy Feet Movie
I was babysitting my niece and nephew and they wanted to watch the movie. When I popped the DVD in, I was prepared to get bored. I thought what could they possibly cook up with penguins as characters? But then my interest got stirred up by the opening number. …

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 …
Premium Rush movie
“Premium Rush” is about bicycle messengers working in Manhattan. The messengers seem to have an embedded code of the area: They are seen rushing past stoplights; riding against the heavy New York traffic; hurling themselves and their transport over all types of barriers and seemingly not knowing …
The Fox and the Hound 2
The Fox and the Hound is a good film for me. I really find it enjoyable to see a movie about friendship and love. I love dogs that’s why I thought of watching this movie. Its really nice to see them singing. Although its just anecdotal in nature an …

Ella Enchanted: Movie
Ella Enchanted is a fun movie that is good for all ages. It is a fantasy, taking place in an imaginary world where magic is real. When baby Ella is born, a fairy grants her the “gift” of obedience. This means that every time someone gives …
Samurai Rebellion movie
Samurai Rebellion is a film by another japanese director called Masaki Kobayashi. His most famous film is Harakiri, and with Samurai Rebellion he works in the same “genre” focusing on the lives of Samurai Warriors. We have to rivaling samurai clans who both want to govern the territory they …
Movie Skinwalkers
Skinwalkers is quite possibly the oddest movie I’ve ever seen, and given the amount of strange and unsettling horror movies I’ve seen over the course of my life, that’s saying a lot. I first saw the movie advertised on another straight to video horror movie release, and the ad …
The Hunger Games movie
As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …
The Dark Knight
I’m not fan of Batman and I watched this movie because it’s rated as 5 star in CinemaOnline (Malaysia) website. I even couldn’t remember the previous Batman movie.
I found it very boring and couldn’t wait for the end of the movie before the first half of the movie …

Movie: 2 Fast 2 Furious

What I liked about this movie: Much like the …
Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …
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 …
The Crush (1993)
The Crush, directed by Alan Shapiro is rated R bythe Motion Picture Association of America for language and terror violence. The original release date was April 2, 1993 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Thriller and stars Cary Elwes as Nick Eliot and Alicia …
Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What you need to do while watching this movie is thank you lucky stars that you don’t know anyone like these people for if you do, you would be just as messed up in the head as they are. Then again, if you are just like these people in …
Triloquist (Movie)
Triloquist is one of the strangest and worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie was released by Dimension Extreme and that combined with the fact that it was made by the makers of Leprechaun was enough to make me plop down the $4 for the rental …
Final Destination IV movie
I almost didn’t finish this movie when I watched it with my friends in September of 2009. It was just released a few days ago, and so the cinema at Strawberry Hills mall here in Surrey, Canada was filled to the rafters.
It was released in 3-D so …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet - Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette
I really enjoyed the Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette which had to deal with the premier weekend for the Warner Brothers’ film, The Incredible Mr. Limpet. These type of movie shorts are fun for me. I love going behind the scenes, both to see how a production …
The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …
Knocked Up (UnRated, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …
Ronin (1998)
Ronin, directed by John Frankenheimer is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong violence and some language. The original release date for this movie was September 25, 1998 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Robert De Niro …
Hitman
I am not a fan of action movies, however I read a lot about how good the movie “Hitman” is that I definitly had to watch it and I assure I wasn’t disappointed at all! This movie is jambacked with actions and the storyline is so good that …
Halloween 2
My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.
While a decent movie, I can honestly say it didn’t live up to the first one.
I liked the fact they …
The Movie Lilo and Stitch
Lilo and Stitch is probably one of my all time favorite Pixar movies. Set in Hawaii this movie is all about love, family and having the strength to overcome our differences and obstacles. After losing both her parents in a car accident Lilo goes to live with her sister …
Moviez
I think that Shakespeare was the one to say that never a borrower or lender be. This is probably wise advice I have found out myself when I have lent out a few items. They have mainly been movies and the most sorely lost, recently, was Farscape Vol. 1 …
Sleeping with the Emeny (1991 movie)
Picture this women…you are married to a wonderful person who is smart, loving and compassionate. Only to find out that your beloved husband is a control freak at the worst extent. You can’t go anywhere or do anything without him, you are like a prisoner in your own home. …
Kelly’s Heroes
Kelly’s Heroes with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, and Carroll O’Connor.
Generally there are great difficulties in pulling off comedic themes within the arena of war and killing, but this movie succeeded in just that. This movie became a cult classic because of …
Ice Age movie
A very “cool” 3D movie from Disney which depicts the survival of prehistoric animals from the changing Earth as it underwent the process of continental drifting, Ice Age is the most fun movie that I have seen (again) lately. As with all other movies that blew my mind, I …
The Big 4 live DVD
The Big 4 is made of thrash legends Anthrax,Slayer,Megadeth, and Metallica. The tour is made up of these four legends to support their upcoming albums and to give thrash fans a special treat. They recently came out with a dvd of the four bands plying live in Sofia,Bulgaria. …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …
Breach (2007)
Working with the armed services of the United States of America is no easy task and it becomes even harder when you are employed to the person responsible for leaking sensitive information to the enemy and even more hard to be the one who is supposed to bring his …
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. …
The Proposal Movie
One of my favorite actress is Sandra Bullock. I watched all of her films from Speed with Keanu Reeves up to this one. I was curious about this film the first time I found it out. What is The Proposal is all about? I saw some billboards showing that …
Alone in The Wilderness
One night when I was channel surfing for something interesting to watch, I stumbled onto a PBS special called Alone in The Wilderness. It is a movie based on a book written by Dick Proenneke. It was about his life and how he went to Alaska to live a …
Feds (1988)
A former marine wants to become an FBI Agent, in order to do so, she must successfully complete both the physical and the academicals part of the training program, but she is lacking in the smarts department. Fortunate for her, she is paired with a person who has the …
The Bank Job (Movie)
This is a story based from the infamous 1971 London robbery. I love stories like these, not that I’m inspired to be a bank robber but more likely I love to find out the minds of these robbers like what they are thinking and how they go about plotting …
Movie War
This is a rather tricky movie for me to review, as I really didn’t pay attention to what was going on. It’s not that I have a short attention span, OK I do but that wasn’t the problem here, it was the fact that I couldn’t understand a …
The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring
The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie was just amazing. Because of the long name I will refer to it as Fellowship of the Ring in this review. First off I must say the intro …

Salt ( 2010 Movie )
I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.
I dissent.
Evelyn Salt ( Angelina …
I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …
Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I recently rented Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bohnam Carter. I have never seen the play or had even actually heard of it outside of the Jersey Girl movie so I went in with a fresh mind.
I already knew …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
