Stiff Odds movie
How I became familiar with the movie called “Stiff Odds” was that I saw it in one of my friend’s dvd collection, and after he insisted that despite the weird cover it was actually a pretty good movie, that he was positive I would enjoy, I decided to borrow …
Movie Dr. Jekyll and The Wolfman (1971)
Ok, has a movie ever had a title that told you everything you wanted to know about the film’s contents like this one?
Here’s the rundown. Waldemar is back and he ain’t paying attention to the continuity of the previous films. He’s in Victorian England and cursed to be a …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )
I just saw the movie last night and it was the first time that I had completed watching it. It really moved me right to the bones and it really pinched my heart. The movie, although not a happy-ending story, was really artistically well-crafted– from …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …

A Beautiful Mind is a movie based on the biography of a famous mathematician John Nash, a genius and a Nobel Prize winner, who most of his adult life has been suffering from schizophrenia. However, the film is only loosely based on Nash’s life. Many more controversial events and …
Pirates of the Carribean : At worlds end
I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.
The movie opens with Elizabeth Swann ( Kierra Knightly) and Will Turner ( Orlando Bloom) must rescue Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones Locker.
This is successful when they go …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs
I adore Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There’s enough ‘people’ drama and ’supernatural’ drama all rolled into one. The comedy makes it easy to watch. You get really involved in the characters. I love the way the product is packaged. I haven’t fully explored the special features options but they …
Obsessed Movie
I love Beyonce. I love her as a singer, I loverd her as an entertainer and a performer, and I love her as an actress. She wasn’t so bad here, I actually thought she was way too much of a natural and this movie is perfect for her since …
Octopussy movie
Bond returns yet again on a dangerous mission, in what part of the series I haven’t even ben able to count. Still featured by Roger Moore who’s reaching the age of 50 by this time, Bond goes to India to defeat a dangerous villain who’s making threats to the …
Happy Feet-the movie
Happy Feet is a great little movie. I believe it is great for the young and old. That makes a cartoon movie good. If you can sit there as an adult with your child and enjoy the movie as much as your child. YAY!
Happy Feet is about a penguin …
Paradise Lost

A disc jockey has a very popular radio show in the Vietnam War. Popular because he doesn’t care about the rules, he just performs his own show the way he wants it. The film is said to be based on real events, although Robin Williams improvises very much as …
The Outer Limits : “Essence of Life” episode
As I skimmed through the episodes of The Outer Limits on DVD, I ran across one that was only slightly less nauseating than some of the others. In “Essence of Life”, a mysterious vial of liquid possesses the ability to “reincarnate” the image of the deceased, if sniffed …

The Help (movie)
One of the best drama movies I remember watching in the early part of 2012 was the movie named “The Help”. I had expected it to be very good because of the actors that were involved in its making, but I never thought that it would be one of …
Mighty Ducks
I was watching movies last night on TV (the baby had a late night) and came across Mighty Ducks. God, I hate that movie and regret not being able to get the remote to change the channel.
When it first came out, I was in college near Minnesota and can …
Drive 2011 film
Before seeing this movie in the theater, I’d never heard of Nicolas Winding Refn. The film surprised me, and pleasantly so.
Keep in mind that when I say pleasantly, I mean brutally. To some these words may be interchangeable. I’d advise you to avoid such individuals. “Drive” was one of …
The In-Laws (2003)
This movie is yet another disgrace of a movie, even though it stars some very decent actors, the movie just did not live up to the hype that was created around it and once again, we have a hit and miss coming out of the studios of the fames …
A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
The Interview (comedy movie)
With all the controversy surrounding the movie “The Interview” I knew I just had to watch it from the very day I heard about it. Therefore, I waited until Sony Pictures made it available for my viewing by streaming it on Youtube, and frankly it was just as I expected. …

The Descent movie
I find that recently I am developing a great love of Quentin Tarantino. Not for his movie, mind you. I think have enjoyed many of the movies he has made, but more recently my fondness for him has come in his great choices of movies to import and distribute …
Rockstar
I took a very long time to watch the movie “Rockstar” since I always seemed to miss it whenever it would be broadcast on a television channel. In fact, I never even saw it being broadcast on a local television channel even once. However, two years ago was the …
Movie: Nine Dead
I have had the film Nine Dead loaded on my Netflix player for a few weeks now. But, I did not take the time to watch it until last night because I suspected it would be a terrible rip off of the Saw movies or some other movie I …
Evan Almighty movie
This movie, a sequel in premise only to the earlier Bruce Almighty, is a fun PG rated film to enjoy with the whole family. Morgan Freeman once again plays God, with of course the ability to appear and reappear at will to whomever he desires. Steve Carell reprises his …

Dodgeball movie
Comedy about a team of nerds who decide to team up in a dodgeball competition and defeat their rivals. That’s the whole plot of this film so it doesn’t really leave a lot of room for thought. The humor is of a kind that don’t appeal to me at …
Lo Movie
Looking through my Netflix for something to watch on a rainy Saturday night, I came across a movie that seemed somewhat strange but also interesting and quirky. It was titled Lo, probably a film that most people have never heard of, it is a story of a young man …
Matrix the movie

Chappie Movie (2015)
Chappie is an excellent follow-up to District 9 and Elysium and is one of the better transhuminism films that are out today. It delivers complex ideas about molding the human mind and also attempts to imagine the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
First of all, this movie will tug at your …

Movie Look (R, 2007)
Here is yet another movie that follows people with multiple cameras and angles—”and multiple story lines.

Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …
X Men the Last Stand
Ok I will X men a lot. And I think the first two movies were pretty good. But the 3rd one was just horrible. I mean they had way to many characters and there was way to much going on at the same time in the movie.I couldn’t really keep …
Uptown Girls
One of the most amazing actresses of this generation is Dakota Fanning. She’s one of my favorites and I try to watch every movie where she’s in. A couple days backs, I watched Upton Girls again where Fanning plays an uptight spoiled rich little girl whose mom doesn’t have …
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …
Zodiac
My aunt treated me to the movies the other night, and we decided to watch Zodiac. It was just released in my country, and I have a great time watching this movie. Here is my review.
The movie is about a killing spree that sort of terrorized San …

The Aviator tells the true story of director and industrialist Howard Hughes or as close to true as it gets in Hollywood. Hughes is played well by Leonardo DiCaprio and other actors turn up at odd times playing someone else important in the man’s life. Kate Beckinsale plays Ava …
Center Stage 2: Turn It Up Movie

Pineapple Express is a great movie. It is extremely funny. I could not stop laughing. I have watched the movie more than 20 times and every time it is just as funny as the first.
The movie is about a man named Dale, he witnesses a murder while …
Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …
