Movies Reviews
Borderland
Borderland is one of the most convoluted horror movies that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of horror movies over the years. I bought the movie because it was part of the After Dark Horror Fest and I loved most of the movies that they released in …
The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)
Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …

Birdemic Shock and Terror, Blu-ray Romantic Horror film
Birdemic: Shock and Terror had to have been made for cult status purposes. I mean come on why would anyone made a movie with birds that spit acid and shoot lasers—¦or I think they are lasers. The movie has crappy violence, early 90s PC game dialogue, and children who …

Dallas Buyers Club (2013 - biographical drama movie)
Dallas Buyers Club is one of those movies that is a career builder. Specifically, it is a career builder for the two main actors in the film - Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both of these actors each get in the film a lifetime opportunity that any actors would kill …
My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …
Due Date Movie (2010)
I watched this movie during the weekend, and I was excited to see Sonny the French Bulldog and along one of my favorite actors Robert Downey Junior. This movie is a comedy and the plot is all about an excited expectant father Peter Highman (Robert Downey Junior) being accidentally …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
Open Season
This movie, more or less, is a buddy film, reminiscent of The Emperor’s New Groove. It is not so much a story of survival, as both animals are in their elements. Even though Boog is a fat, pampered, domesticated animal, none of the other animals in the forest are …
Men In Black 2 (movie 2002)
The Men In Black are back with another mission to save the world from yet another alien who wants to destroy, again, why do aliens love to destroy…why??!! This time, Will Smith as Agent J has to find and restore the memory of his brain-washed former partner Tommy Lee …
You Only Live Twice movie
A film about the british secret service agent yet again. This time the audience are lead to believe the hero dies in the first scene of the film, but evidently James Bond can not be killed. Sean Connery is clearly getting tired of the role by this time and …
Made Of Honour
Made Of Honour sees the charming Patrick Dempsey acting as the main guy and there are also other casts like Michelle Monaghan and Sydney Pollack. What is this movie about..? I think it’s a good movie and I likened it to something like other romantic comedies, starring Sandra …
Wrong Turn 2
I’m going to open this review with a plea to Hollywood. The next time you make a horror film, please make an effort to scare me. Don’t cut corners and produce a film that goes out of its way to show as much blood and gore as possible. That’s …
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
Remember the all so catchy, “I like to move it, move it?” Made me cry and laugh most of the time and whenever I manage to watch re-runs of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on DVD.

Prince of Persia (the movie)

Hoodwinked movie

Revolutionary Road Movie (2008)

The setting is 1960s, and the young couple Frank and April Wheeler are not …
Paranormal Activity 2 movie
Horror films scare me very much no matter how weak they are. So I’ll try to analyze as objectively Paranormal Activity 2 detaching myself from my “spectacular” feelings. Paranormal Activity 2 is a combination of the first prequel and sequel. It is a movie that scares the weak of …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …
Terminator Salvation movie
I am a great fan of the Terminator series, and I had been waiting for this film to release from a long time. Last night I went to theater to watch this movie.

Dead Like Me: Hurry
Dead Like Me: Hurry is the next installment of this science fiction series, and it’s all about being in a hurry.
One of the subplots is Joy and Clancy going through the divorce settlement process, which is never pleasant. Another subplot has Happy Time employees dealing with an efficiency …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
I tried to avoid watching this movie for a long time. I heard how they had mangled Deadpool who is one of my favorite comic book characters into an unrecognizable mess, and consequently I decided that I wouldn’t encourage this sort of thing by giving any of my …
‘Deadpool’ Movie
People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …
The Blind Side
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention ‘The Blind Side’ is the movie for which the actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for best female interpretation. This is true, however the film is much more than that. The story of this movie is so touching that …

The Sentinel (2006) movie
My dad got a dvd two pack and this is one of the movies in the pack so I decided I would watch it since I missed it in theaters and the plot seemed pretty appealing to me.
Pretty simple plot to go with. There is a bug within …
Plan 9 From Outer Space
This movie is considered one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time. It’s directed by the worst director of all time, Ed Wood. So many people hated this movie when it came out in the 1950s. All I have to say is this: I …
As Good As It Gets movie
This movie, starring Jack Nicholson as an obsessive compulsive romance novelist who is a bit of a people hater and Helen Hunt as a struglling waitress with an ill son, is very cute.
That’s really the only way I can describe it. There is a cute dog, a gay artist …
District 9 movie
Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …
Cat’s Eye
I have to say I really enjoyed the Stephen King movie Cat’s Eye. This movie was very intense and actually had me feeling scared. I thought that Quitter’s INC was a very scary episode in the film. You see Cat’s Eye is made up of 3 short movies and it …

As a kid, I enjoyed reading Matilda by Roald Dahl, so I also wanted to see the movie. I saw it when it was in the theaters, and I have watched it numerous times since then. The story is about a girl who isn’t being challenged to …

Ghost Rider
‘The Ghost Rider’ directed by Mark Steven Johnson is one movie which you should not miss. Nicholas Cage plays the lead role in the movie. The exceptionally good story of the movie is its main highlight. Nicholas Cage’s acting is highly commendable and I totally enjoyed the movie. This …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the other day with my whole bunch of friends and it was a very good movie. I love everything about this movie, even though it’s a guy type of movie. The action sequences are not bad, there are lots of humor …

A Beautiful Mind (drama movie)
I’ve always heard good things about the movie “A Beautiful Mind” over the years, but I never actually got a chance to see it until recently. My expectations were very high before seeing it, and to be completely honest there was nothing about it that I wasn’t satisfied with. I …
