After waiting for one long year, the third (and last?) part of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy finally arrived. My daughter and I both attended an opening night show. We thought it was great! The effects, as was the case in the first two movies, …
Deadpool (2016 Superhero Movie)
One of the best superhero movies I remember seeing in a long time had to be the Marvel movie “Deadpool”. I remember there was this great anticipation of what the movie would be like, and then I read and heard a lot of good reviews about the movie while it …
Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
Veggietales: Lord of the Beans movie
Synopsis: Toto (Junior Asparagus) is given a bean with the power to grant him any wish. Rather than using it right away, he goes on a journey to learn why he was given his gift.

Bayaning 3rd World
I have seen in a film viewing a movie whose attempt is to fully make its viewer understand not only the life and works of Rizal, a Philippine National Hero, but also to people who watches the movie how difficult it was to make a movie out of a …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …
Hairspray
The movie ‘Hairspray’ is a musical of a highschool girl with a fasination of the preforming arts and the desire to dance on a local tv show called ‘The Corney Collins Show’ It stars names like, John Trovolta, Queen Latifa, and Christopher Walkin.

The Edge Of Love
Although Keira Knightley is a very young lady, she is a super awesome actress whom can really act well. This is a super sad and heart wrenching story that would see you thinking of so many perspectives in life. I love stories like this, but having to find …
Wuthering Heights movie
Is there any greater love story than Wuthering Heights? Well, there may be but Wuthering Heights truly is one of the best. The movie adaptation of the book was filmed in 1939 and no matter how much time passes, this film is a classic. Wuthering Heights stars the magnificent …
Happy Feet
I have watched the movie ‘Happy Feet’. This is a very nice movie. This movie is about penguins. The story line is good. There is a penguin couple in Antarctica. This couple gives birth to a male penguin.
This male penguin is very much different from the other penguins …
Halloween
I absolutely hate the new “Halloween,” this crude, obscene, bloody, gory, stupid, disgusting slasher. I have not seen the original version made sometime in the 70s, but from what I hear, it did not have all the sliced up bodies on screen; this one does, and seems to relish …

Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Desperate Hours Remake (1990)
I’m not a big fan of remakes of movies. I call them “removies”. I find that removies are rarely as good as the original movie. In part this is because the movies that are usually redone are movies that were excellent movies to begin with. Nobody tries to …
The Langoliers movie
As a young child, one of my scariest memories was made as a result of watching the movie “The Langoliers” one night. I was not able to get the images of giant meatball-like creatures with moving razor sharp teeth out of my head, and often had dreams about them. …

Back to the Future Part 2
Sequels usually flop, unable to capture the magic of the original. Rare cases include Superman II and The Empire Strikes Back. Back to the Future Part 2 joins that rare class, mainly because it is told partly from within the first movie. The filmmakers incorporated scenes from the first …

Take Me Home Tonight (2011 Movie)
This is one of those movies that wastes all of it’s good scenes in the trailer to entice people to come see it. When you actually watch the whole movie, you’ll realize you’ve already seen all the good parts and you’re left with a mediocre, forgettable movie.
I missed this …

Blue Streak movie
“Blue Streak” is one of Martin Lawrence’s great movies. If you enjoyed his interpretation of “Big Momma’s House” films, then I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy watching this movie which Lawrence did just a year before the “Big Momma” hit movies.
What I really liked about this movie, …

Movie Cabin Fever
I would have to say that Cabin Fever is one of my most favorite horror movies. You might think that it is crazy that I say that, but i have a reason for saying that.
the theme of the movie is a flesh eating disease that is responsible …
The Dead Zone
OK, is there a movie Christopher Walken doesn�t have a role in? Though, I have to admit, it was a bit strange seeing him actually be the star rather than have a supporting role.
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch this movie from the …

Revolutionary Road (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “Revolutionary Road” reunited the two main characters of “Titanic”, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. I had thought that this film was going to be a rekindle of the flame that I saw in “Titanic” and something that would leave my heart melting. However, I had an …

The Libertine Movie
The Libertine was a movie that came out last year starring Johnny Depp. The movie takes place during the 17th century and Johnny Depp

The Darling Buds of May
I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …

The Disappearance of Flight 412 movie
I remember watching The Disappearance of Flight 412 when it came on TV for the first time in 1974. I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. I’m not necessarily talking about the UFO bit, well, yes, I am.
The truth is that I’m not arrogant enough to believe …

Walk the Line movie
Prior to watching this movie, I did not know much of anything about Johnny Cash. For me, the big draw to see the movie in the first place were the main characters, Joaquin Phoenix in particular. I was very sad to see him drop out of acting as I …
Sing Street (2016 Film)
This is it, I’m not even holding myself by immediately saying, “I found my favorite film of the year.” Because what guys? It’s everything and more that I wanted from director John Carney. I’m still definitely in awe since last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found …
Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …
Erin Brokovich
I have adored Julia Roberts since Pretty Woman and Sleeping with the Enemy. I had seen Erin Brokovich when I was in my teens and although I enjoyed the movie, I did not really understood it. I had an opportunity to watch it during my own free time and …
