Friday the 13th
The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …
The Guns of Navarone movie

Fearless Jet Li
Jet Li is truly a great martial artist and actor. I loved him in this film because he played a character with complexity. He started off as a weak child that constantly tried to overcome a bully. Later he grew up to become a great fighter that allowed vanity …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets( the movie)
This movie was second in the Harry Potter series. Usually the sequels are not as good as the first one but this one turned out to be an exception. This movie was in all ways equal in par to the Harry Potter part 1. The movie starts with …

The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …
Skyfall (action movie)
I stopped being a James Bond fan years ago, and honestly, I can’t even remember why. This is why I ended up missing Casino Royale. Nevertheless, after I decided to try watching Skyfall recently, I enjoyed it so much, that I’m actually eagerly awaiting the release of the next James …
The Last Man on Earth
The Last Man on Earth is an old black and white movie based on the Richard Matheson short story “I Am Legend” as is the Will Smith movie by the same name. Seeing the movies together is a completely odd experience because both are completely different. In this movie …
Cat Ballou
Cat Ballou is a funny western starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin, as well as a host of others who bring this musical to its hysterical heights. Fonda plays the lead role, Cat being short for Catherine. Her father, played by John Marley, is murdered, and she …

Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …
Apocalypto
I don’t think I was fully prepared for what a wonderful film this would be. Set in ancient Mayan times, this film directed by Mel Gibson follows a tribe of Mayans who are in fight for their very existence when a neighboring tribe destroys their village and then …
Captain Fantastic (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
This year is the year of surprises for me. I have expected many films to be great, such as Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and they end up not matching my expectations. However, films such as Sing Street, Swiss Army Man, Hunt for the …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …
Baby Einstein DVD’s
My children, as babies, have absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the Baby Einstein DVD’s. They are usually sold at Babies R Us, Borders Books and Music, BJ’s, and Costco, as well as other common stores. This series of learning DVD’s allows your baby to not only enjoy the sounds …
The Sixth Sense movie
Even though I watched the movie “The Sixth Sense” when I was about eleven or twelve years old, I can still remember it as though it were just yesterday, since at the time is scared me a little and I thought the twist in the plot was unusual. It …
Wolf Creek film

This is not a film for those …
Made of Honor
Another new released movie, Made of Honor is one of the best movies that I’ve watched. I’m not bluffing alright. I could see the same lines of this movie in a novel and I would still enjoy reading it the same.
It stars my hunky favorite actor, whom …
The devil wears prada
This is a Meryl Streep movie, and like all of her movies she is simply fantastic. I find that Streep gives that extra input in her work that makes her such an extra ordinary actress. I personally compare her a lot to the actor, Joaquin Phoenix they …
Public Enemies
Public Enemies is one of the best made movies I’ve seen in a long time. It tells the parallel stories of John Dillinger on his rise to bank-robbing fame, and the G-Men whose job it was to take him down. Christian Bale and Johnny Depp deliver …
Little Man movie
It’s amazing what they can do with the help of computers today. Marlon Wayans, who is not little at all, plays the “Little Man” - a midget, a criminal named Calvin. Calvin and his buddy Percy steal a huge diamond which they later have to hide in a young …
The Mark of Zorro Movie
When I was a kid, I was a huge Zorro fan. The reason for this was the old black and white movie The Mark of Zorro. I got a chance to watch this movie again today and, even after all these years and after seeing it quite a few …

New X Files Movie
The new X files movie was very surprising to me. It seemed to have a very different concept then any X Files episode and the orginal movie ever had. I enjoyed this movie I thought it had a very spirital message and a positive one. It seems that the …

Movie: The Pursuit of Happyness
“The Pursuit of Happyness” is a wonderful film, inspired by the true life story of Chris Garner, who managed to survive with his five-year-old son in early 1980s San Francisco while working his way through an unpaid six-month intership to become a stock broker.
Will Smith is spectacular as Chris, …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
Netflix
I used Netflix for 2 years. I started the free trial and ended up keeping the service. I loved the convenience of not spending gas to drive to the video store and spending a considerable amount of time picking out a good movie to watch. I especially liked that …

Terror Train movie
I had heard of the movie Terror Train before but didn’t think it was anything worth watching. After all, I am not a huge Jamie Lee Curtis fan, did not like the original Halloween movie and I knew this movie was produced as a result of the success of …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
House of Wax 2005
I watched this movie back when it was releasing in 2005 my friends was telling me how it was going to be terrible and Paris Hilton being in it was absolutely going to ruin it. However, one night out we were bored out of our minds so we …
Ladder 49
I am reviewing the movie, Ladder 49, starring John Travolta and Juaquin Pheonix, among many others. This movie depicts the courageousness of being a firefighter. Juaquin Pheonix plays a newbie fireman whose captain (John Travolta) shows him the ropes of the job. It isn’t all hard work and …

Wild Target 2010 movie
Failure of a hitman is not a situation that you could assess it as “funny.” However, it is perfectly possible in Wild Target, applying the opus of the typology “ordinary people put in extreme situations.”
Three main and unusual characters appear in this movie, a hitman who takes care of …
Skyfall Movie
Skyfall is the latest and greatest James Bond 007 film, and while I admit I have never seen a James Bond film before, I absolutely loved Skyfall! It is action-packed, funny, and thrilling, and it had the entire theater at the edge of their seats. I absolutely loved Skyfall, …
Let’s Go To Prison DVD Movie
Another DVD movie that I have watched would be Let’s Go To Prison. This movie stars Dax Shepard, a career criminal. This movie is about his revenge on a judge that has put him away to jail. His revenge is because of the fact that he …
Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Saving Private Ryan movie
Bloody, gruesome, vicious and emotional are the words to describe this movie. A great film directed by Stephen Spielberg. The battle on the beach brought tears to my eyes when you saw how the men were dying, being dismembered and the scene when one soldier turned back to pick …
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People movie
I did not pay the movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” any attention when it was advertising because I thought that it was going to be yet another one of those celebrity packed “comedies” that was not very funny. However, when I was forced to watch it …
The X Files: I Want To Believe Movie
Just about 12 hours ago, I went to see the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie. I knew there was a lot of mixed reviews in regards to the movie, but I really wanted to see for myself as I am an X-Files fan at heart.
I went and saw …
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service movie
In Her Majesty’s Secret Service was different to the preceding films of the series. It was a disappointment to many, but is in my opinion better than You Only Live Twice for example and certainly one of the most underrated. Sean Connery chose not to appear in this film …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13 begins with Juliet being taken to Lord Montague and being sentenced to death. Her loyalist followers decide to break her out of jail while Lord Montague confronts Romeo about Juliet.
