The Ice Harvest
“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.
The story of this …
Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …

Charlie Wilsons War
I watched this movie not to long ago. Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts all played in Charlie Wilson’s War. It was about the cold war, Afghanistan and Russia. It was entertaining and kept me interested the whole movie. I think it probably could have ended better. I felt …
Michael Jackson’s This is It movie 2009
I didn’t know what to expect from this film before I saw it. I knew it was a collection of footage from the show that sadly, never made it to the stage. It is a shame. It would have been so spectacular. The amount of work and devotion that …

The Quiet (R, 2005)
Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
Persona movie
Regarded by many as Ingmar Bergman’s best film and also one of the best “art” films ever made. It is a complex film about dimensions, simply put, where two women is the center of Bergman’s focus. Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson portrait two very different women, one of them …
The American (2010 Movie)

Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.

Movie: A Walk To Remember
Anyone who knows me know I am not exactly a romance fan when it comes to movies. Yet, I can be a softy too and one of the movies that gets me everytime I see it is A Walk To Remember. Based off a Nicholas Sparks book …
Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …

A Very Special Love starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo

The film was about Sarah Geronimo …

Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
Kungfu Panda

At Point Blank movie
A swedish “action” film about a team of bank robbers and how their actions finally lead to death. I am thrilled to see this kind of garbage from the swedish film industry today. This is probably the worst piece of junk I’ve ever experienced in swedish cinema. The whole …
The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …

License To Drive (1988)

Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo movie
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo was a real shocker when it came out in 1991. I remember reading the buzz about it. Would they really kill off Columbo’s unseen but much loved wife? The made for TV movie actually starts with Mrs. Columbo’s funeral. …

The Hangover
I was expecting big things when I rented The Hangover on DVD; I expected, given the trailers and my friends’ views, that I would be laughing uproariously the entire time. However, although there were some funny and witty moments, I was disappointed. It had good moments, when I did …
Movie Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty with Jim Carey, Jennifer Anniston, and Morgan Freeman.
Since the concept of this movie appears to be original, I found it highly interesting regardless of the cast of star actors. What makes this a real winner is Jim Carey, who is at his …

I’m not really a big fan of the “Batman Series” but this film “Batman Dark Knight” is one great movie, I was blown away by the actors acting abilities,the story itself and of course the director because this would also not be possible without him,(Applause)Christopher Nolan. For me this …

The Fourth Kind 2009 movie
I just finished watching “The Fourth Kind” and can’t stop laughing. This was a pathetic attempt at a movie. The premise is similar to the Blair Witch film in that it is presented as a “mockumentary” complete with fake “archive footage and audio.” This is one of those movies …
Sin City (2005 movie)
A great telling of the stories by Frank Miller. It’s dark, it’s mysterious, it’s dangerous, and as the tagline says…”Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything.” Of all the many stories that were told, the best one to me is the story …
Greenberg (2010 movie)

48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …
Movie: Avatar
