The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
Outcast, Movie
There is no denying Nic Cage’s indefatigable work ethic, although even his staunchest fans must concede that some of his performances are at best, curiosities, to be enjoyed much in the same way that people would regard bearded ladies in the Victorian Freak Shows of times past.
This film …
A Walk in The Clouds
“A Walk in the Clouds” is my favourite Keanu Reeves involvment in a romantic movie because it has all the right ingredients for a great romantic movie. This fact was also confirmed by winning the Golden Globe Awards for best original score.
I believe that this movie must have haunted …
Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …

Spiderman The Motion Picture
With great power comes great responsibility. With great movies comes greater ones. This is how I feel about the first Spiderman. I believe this movie moved the caliber of comic book-to-movie projects up a notch.
This movie showed that we can have great comic book movies with great characters and …
I know who killed me
I like Lindsay Lohan, that’s why I decided to watch this movie. Drama? Thriller? Comedy? Mistery? I don’t really know what to call this movie’s genre. It’s about a girl missing, abducted by a serial killer, and instead the found the missing identical …
Movie Spoilers
I had went to see the movie “Cloverfield” just yesterday. I had read spectacular reviews and the movie has been hyped on the internet for quite some time now. The trailers seemed particularly interesting.
My only worry of this movie would be that it would be highly similar to …
Beauty and the Beast
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite animated movie. It is indeed a timeless cinema classic. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. It’s the story of a prince who was turned …
Street Kings movie
Keanu Reeves has pulled off another great movie. Keanu Reeves has shown that he can stand in other films besides the Matrix and romance films. My wife and I went to see this movie without knowing what to expect. Although the action seemed a little shy in this …
Daniel Craig’s take on James Bond
Right when I had gotten used to Pierce Brosnan as Bond they took him away from me. This after they took away Timothy Dalton, who I thought brilliant, after a mere two films. Even though I disliked many of the Brosnan Bond films, I loved Goldeneye and even found …
Spiderman Movie
When the movie Spiderman came out in theaters, I remember it got a lot of attention. I for one wasn’t any less thrilled than everyone else since I grew up reading Marvel comics even though those days I hadn’t read one in a long time.
I had no idea …

Courage Under Fire - (starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan)
I remember watching Courage Under Fire during the year of 2000 at the movies and it was quite a wonder why the Director feature both talented actor and actress Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan together. But upon watching the movie, I realized that both of them play a truly …
Bad Teacher 2011 Movie
I just saw the movie Bad Teacher. In IMDB it only had 5.9 stars, so I wasn’t looking forward to really watching it because of the not-so-good reviews. It stars Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, with her co-star Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. Bad Teacher is …
Robin Hood (2010) movie
Robin Hood (2010) tells the story of Robin Hood, the famous legendary outlaw, but tells it in a very different fashion from previous Robin Hood movies.

Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th part 2 is the film that really brings the series to life. The first movie was all about the mother seeking revenge on what she perceived to be the culprits behind her son’s death. With her character out of the way, we could finally get down …
Hush movie
The movie Hush starring Jessica Lange and Gwyneth Paltrow in the main roles is a good movie in the genre of drama with an underlying thriller element. The movie though is good has a predictable story and the pace of the movie is a bit slow. But nevertheless it …
Street Fighter (Movie)
When I first watched this movie, I was very excited that I could finally watch a movie on street fighters, because I was a fan of the game, street fighter 2, which, by the way, was one of my favourite game back in my day as a child.

Cake Eaters movie
Ever since I’ve watched Twilight I’ve been a Kristen Stewart fan. So I decided to find some of her movies and I found this movie Cake Eaters.
The movie is set on a small town wherein the characters are loosely intertwined and how they’re confronting their past up to …
Life or Something Like It
“Life or Something Like It” is definitly not one of the best Angelina Jolie’s movies. Infact she was nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie. Jolie is not great in this movie because, for one thing, she is wearing blond hair and looks like a …
The Movie Sleepy Hollow
When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …
The Orphanage
I watched a film on DVD recently called The Orphanage. I was attracted to this film for two reasons, one being that it is all in Spanish and I love foreign films, but the other, more important reason, was that it is made by Guillermo Del Toro, the same …
Lansing Mall Cinema
If we are going to see a movie in the weekend, we would consider Lansing Mall Cinema. It is as good as the other cinema. It is clean and cozy. Bathroom is neat and you can even take a nap right there inside the bathroom. …
Movie Hairspray
I watched the movie Hairspray this evening. This was the 2007 updated version. I have to admit that I did not really like the original movie. I did not expect too much from this version.
Hairspray is a musical/ comedy.
I have to say though in my opinion, …
Robots animated movie
I love to watch animated movies, think they are really cool, and these days I can say that animated movies are getting more successful than the real movies. Few days back I saw a new animated movie called “Robots”. It was really a cute movie to watch. The story …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …
Tiger Warsaw movie
I remember vividly the conversation I had with the clerk at Blockbuster about Tiger Warsaw. I was in the process of becoming a huge Patrick Swayze fan and was renting some of his movies that I hadn’t seen. She warned me about Tiger Warsaw, telling me it …
The Road to Hollywood movie
The Road to Hollywood from 1947 was a biography of sorts about the success of crooner, Bing Crosby. This was the such type of production from filmmaker Bud Pollard who had done a piece like this on Danny Kaye the year before.
Pollard serves as the host of The …

The very first 007-film starrs Sean Connery as the spectacular hero and the stunningly beautiful Ursula Andress as his lover (who appears very late in the film). James Bond goes to Jamaica to investigate the insane Dr No and prevent him from destroying the world. Dr No isn’t the …
50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …
Before sunrise movie
I bought a copy of this CD from HMV store which I’ve got on sale and as I read the back label of the CD I thought this movie is something worthwhile to be watched because as it says it is quite romantic. Since I am a big …

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …
Religulous documentary
This is an excellent documentary - not only is it a must see but it is a must buy for your video library. I would warn though, for people who are religious - a lot of content may be viewed as offensive. In the documentary Bill Maher …
Dora the Explorer DVD We’re a Team
I recently purchased one of the newer Dora the Explorer DVD’s “We’re a Team” for my daughter. Overall, I think it was a great purchase.
In the We’re A Team episode, Dora and her friends are trying to complete a race course in under 20 minutes and must use their …
Hellboy: Sword of Storms
I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …
Space Cowboys
I haven’t seen the movie Space Cowboys since my wife and I saw it years ago on one of our first dates together (we can’t remember if it was the first or second movie we ever saw together). So, when it came on a couple nights ago, I figured …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
