Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
I love Star Wars Attack of the Clones, and who would not? This to me is the most awaited part of the series where finally I get to see Master Yoda kick some serious butt. I am just fascinated by the Yoda character. It is just …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse, apocalyptic fiction action horror film
How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …
Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …
The Box Movie
It was a 2009 movie by Cameron Diaz and James Marsden. It was a story of a couple who received a box being delivered by a man named Arlington Steward played by Frank Langella.
It was curious at first what the box is all about until Mr. Steward came back …
A zed and two noughts movie
After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account. He created some very impressive pieces of work through the remaining 80s that included the puzzling Drowning by numbers and the macabre The cook, the thief, his wife …
Hackers movie
“Hackers” was one of my favorite movies which the famous actress Angelina Jolie starred in. I first watched it one Saturday evening a couple years ago on the SciFi cable channel and enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, right now I’m thinking of watching it again.
I would not call …
Suicide Kings movie
Suicide Kings is a 1997 thriller movie starring Christopher Walken as a mafia boss who is kidnapped by a group of college students, also stars Dennis Leary as a man working for the kidnapped mafia boss. The film is sort of cool and unique because it shows how a …
Movie: Goblin
My wife and I had a bit of free time yesterday afternoon and went through some of the movies we had recorded on our DVR.
One of these movies was one from the SyFy Channel called Goblin. It sounded somewhat interesting so we decided to watch it.
It was definitely somewhat …
The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …
Friday the 13th Boxed Set
When I heard that they were releasing a boxed set of the Friday the 13th movies, I felt a little thrill of excitement. These are the movies I grew up watching, and while Nightmare on Elm Street got its own treatment years ago, Friday the 13th was still bringing …
Cinderella Movie
Cinderella is easily one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and I’ve probably seen it 50 times over the years. I used to baby sit a little girl who absolutely had to watch the movie every night before she went to bed and even then I never …
Paper Man Movie (2009)
I wouldn’t have heard of a movie like this normally, but I just finished watching the movie Buried with Ryan Reynolds where I was so impressed with the actor that I have decided to watch a few more of his movie. So I looked up in IMDB for some …
The Fast and the Furious
I like action movie, including car racing. I always like the Fast and the Furious no matter it’s the first movie, the second, the third or the fourth one, I like them all.
The Fast and the Furious is the first movie before the sequel is made. I watch this …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
Movie: City Slickers
Synopsis: Three middle-aged friends decide to go on a wild west vacation and participate in a real-life cattle drive.

The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
Let’s Go Collegiate movie
Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …
Short Circuit movie
Well, that was an old movie I haven’t seen in a while; Short Circuit. You know what, when this movie first came out, I thought it was pretty good. Now I have to think it is more annoying than anything.
Look, I like the concept of a robot getting struck …

K-19: The Widowmaker movie
K-19: The Widowmaker was released in 2002, and I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure. It took me three or four views to really get into and grasp the entire scope of the story. That surprised me because …
The Sixth Sense
Oh, I loved this movie when it came out. I am also very easily scared though and the twist at the end of it had me freaked out. I love the subtle nuances in this movie, they make them seem real. I don’t know why writers have to use …

The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …
The Real Beckhams
I watched this The Real Beckhams DVD the other night and here is what I have to say about this. I am truly surprised that this DVD is that good. No kidding. You guys should watch it, I highly recommend it to you guys.
This is also extremely …
Maneater (2008)
This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …
Hellboy 2 (R, 2008)
I typically do not like these types of films where the hero is grotesque, but has these sensitive powers. I was intrigued by the Hellboy concept, but never bothered to watch the first one. I have been told that it is probably a good thing as …
JOCKER, the movie (2019)
After watching the movie JOCKER, I stood up and started applauding. True, I was the only person in the audience who did so, but I made my feelings known. And now I will try to convey them to you.
Arthur Fleck is a typical loser. He lives with his mother, gets …

Cinderella Man movie
It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …
The Fugitive
This weekend I watched The Fugitive again and was reminded what a great movie it is. I was skeptical when it was being made. I love the TV series, which is television classic, and I was afraid the theatrical movie would detract from it or parody it …
Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …
The Moonstone movie
The Moonstone is an whodunit motion picture that is actually intriguing. I pretty much enjoyed it from beginning to end. The interesting thing about that is that there’s nothing magical or outstanding about the plot.
At key moments, for example, each member of the cast gives that ‘I’m …
Happy Feet
During the summer I took my 6 year old son to see the musical movie “Happy Feet”. I was very pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed the movie as much if not more than my son. While the overall appeal of the movie definetly stemmed from well …

The U.S. population is very interested in stories about the presidential institution. The avid moviegoers will effortlessly think of at least fifteen titles in which the U.S. president deals with incredibly difficult situations, getting away with just a mild shock. Paradoxically, the …
The Host, movie
Whoever thought having the protagonist of a movie spend most of her time talking inside her own head for the better part of 2 hours and get away with it, was painstakingly wrong.
In The Host, another Stephenie Meyer adaptation for the big screen, we start out with Saoirse Ronan …
A Cinderella Story
I loved this movie because of my crush Chad Michael Murray, a very handsome guy in his own way..lol.

Steel Magnolias showcases the talents of Shirley MacLaine (Ouiser), Sally Field (M’Lynn), Dolly Parton (Truvy), Julia Roberts (Shelby), Olympia Dukakis (Clairee) and Daryl Hannah (Annelle). With a cast like that, how can you go …
Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …

Fifty Shades of Grey - Movie (2015)
This is a movie where I feel people will have mixed emotions about. Either they will find it really entertaining or very disturbing. For me personally, I found it to be a not-so thrilling movie as the story isn’t much for me, however I wasn’t disturbed. Having read the Fifty …
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (movie)
I am not, and have never been a fan of the Stephenie Meyer series, especially since I consider myself as a fan of the classic vampire folklore. However, I was forced to see it when it was still showing in theatres since nothing else I was even a quarter …
