Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
The Matrix (science fiction action movie)
I remember watching the movie “The Matrix” years ago when I was still a child and being completely impressed by the effects and action and being completely blown out of the water by the storyline. However, the problem is that I never really understood it or understood what the Matrix …

Half Baked movie
I used to love Cheech and Chong movies when I was younger, so when I saw this film, I thought it would be something that would pay tribute to what they accomplished.
What I found was another stoner movie that really wasn’t that great.
The acting in the movie was terrible …
Columbo: Columbo Goes to College movie

The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …
Gladiator Movie
A spectacular film starring Russell Crowe as Maximus the General and a slave gladiator. The action in this film is not great but it is OK, not too gruesome, not too bloody. The plot is on point and it delivers the goods. Joaquin Phoenix plays a great bad guy …
Alvin and the Chipmunks movie
I hated this movie so much for many different reasons. One of the main ones was that I expected that they would have made a better movie for it being that “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons would come on local tv on Saturday mornings and it was one of …
Blues Clues Big Musical

King Kong vs. Godzilla
King Kong vs. Godzilla is the first color Godzilla movie, and in a way, I kind of wish that it was not. Both King Kong and Godzilla look ugly and fake as do the sets and the military tanks and other artillery. I also do not like how the …

World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …

Big Daddy is a nice comedy movie with some emotional scenes. This Adam Sandler starred movie has some heart touching scenes to it’s credit. Sonny is a job less and irresponsible guy. Though his friends and the people from his college have moved ahead in life and are doing …

Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …

Recently I visited the local artsy video store and rented the DVD “Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg” It is a Swedish film in Swedish, but much of it was in German with English subtitles. Directed by Kjell Grede and released in 1990.

“Star Wars: Phantom Menace” (1999 Film)

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 …
Perry Mason: The Case of the Skin-Deep Scandal movie
Perry Mason: The Case of the Skin-Deep Scandal stars Raymond Burr as the famous attorney, Perry Mason. I liked the guest cast, but somehow the story didn’t pull me in like the major of Perry Mason cases have done.

Odd Couple II

The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
Well, I didn’t think I would end up liking the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife when my wife forced me to watch it last night. But, it turned out to be pretty decent.

Rec 2 Movie
This movie was better than the first one. There were downsides to it however. For instance, the camera shots were for the most part unoriginal. Could you do better than having a bloodied zombie-faced possessed person grab the camera and make faces? The blocking was …
