Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …

Wayne’s World
I gotta say that Wayne’s World is a pretty good movie. It is one of my best memories of the past. I think the movie was really funny and very crazy. I think Wayne was a very funny character. The movie Wayne’s World really captured the essence of what the …
Bloodsport (movie )
While I like some action movies, I generally do not like those that include the actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Segal since I have noticed that while these movies are usually jam packed with action scenes, they also usually have the same cliché characters and these action movies …

A Separation (movie)
I like watching foreign films, especially when I’m in a particular mood, and recently when I’ve been searching for a good one to watch, I kept getting recommendations to watch a movie “A Separation”. Despite all of that I never watched a trailer or even searched for reviews on …
Vanished (movie)
If you�re a big fan of the television show Cold Case, then you may want to consider renting the movie Vanished if you haven�t seen it yet.
While the script leaves quite a bit to be desired, the movie and the intrigue it creates isn�t too bad. It�s not great, …

The Devils is a film from long ago that involves the murder of a Catholic priest. This priest, Father Grandier, is supposedly one of the witches and he subsequently pout through all the horrible things that witches were at that point in time. This was a time of hysteria …
Knowing movie
I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Movie Hitman
Watching the DVD movie, Hitman really makes me yawn so much. Though it is based from a game from Playstation or something, it does nothing to me at all. It’s like watching Alias or just a B-Grade TV action drama series or something. I really felt it …
Freakazoid: Season 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Freakazoid to come out on DVD ever since I accidentally taped over a couple of episodes on my home-made VHS set (whoops). Warner Brothers has finally heard the cries of fans and has given us a three-disc set of the first season. The episodes …
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
I am reviewing The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986. This episode sees Watson on a very much needed holiday, while Holmes stays behind in Baker Street. Even far away, however, …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie
I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
The Quiet American
I had not heard about the movie “The Quiet American” until I had seen it under an actor’s imdb profile. Thus after reading the description of it I decided to watch it for myself since it sounded like something I would probably like. I think it also portrays the …

Movie Runaway Jury
I like John Cusack as an actor and I always enjoy watching Dustin Hoffman. I also enjoy watching a good acotr like Gene Hackman. There is a movie called Runaway Jury that has all three of these men in it.
John Cusack plays a juror with a …
Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
I have seen it with my own eyes and on the screen as well, where older men make it their mission to date younger women, and in that light, the impressionable young woman take the ‘maturity’ of these older men and use it as a measuring stick against all …

Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
Ghost World comedy
Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …
Michael Clayton movie
The best words to describe the movie “Michael Clayton” is a deep drama movie that will make you bite your nails till the last minute. The true assets of this movie are the main actors, George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton. Sadly only Tilda Swinton won an Oscar …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …
Bubba Ho-Tep movie
Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
What a stupid movie. Basically, Elvis is alive and living at a nursing home in the deep south. He ends …
500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse

FengShui Movie
This is yet another great movie (a horror movie) that is 100% Filipino made. I love this movie because it sent me chills to my bones and I think even though this movie is quite old already, many people still haven’t forgotten about it because it is really one …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …
Robin Hood
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Robin Hood. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood, but what would happen if it was taken from a fox’s perspective? That’s what the whole Disney version does. Robin Hood is a fox and his friend, Big John, is a huge bear. The …
Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
Stardust movie
I guess you all know Narnia,where there was an entire magical kingdom with the entrance inside a dusty drawer,or an older movie from Hallmark I think,the one with ‘the boogies’,the title escapes me now.Well,continuing,how about a magical kingdom in the same plane with reality,only separated my a small wooden …

A Simple Formality Movie
A film by the italian director named Tornatore about a famous author being accused of murder. Did he commit it or not?
Tornatore is known by many as the director behind critically acclaimed Cinema Paradiso, a film which in my opinion is very overrated and relies only on sentimentality.
This is …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What you need to do while watching this movie is thank you lucky stars that you don’t know anyone like these people for if you do, you would be just as messed up in the head as they are. Then again, if you are just like these people in …
Creature from the Black Lagoon
I absolutely love old black and white horror flicks and, because of this, think Creature from the Black Lagoon is an often-overlooked classic.
Filmed in 1954, the movie focuses on a group of scientists who are terrorized by a creature that is half-man, half fish and possibly the missing link …
Picasso documentary
Picasso is a documentary that highlights the legendary career of Pablo Picasso. This documentary takes the viewer across almost eighty years to explore his life and examine his accomplishments.

Birth of a Nation movie
Perhaps the single most influential film ever made is this silent milestone by american pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith. It tells a very complex melodrama taking place during the american civil war. It’s difficult to watch a film like this through the same eyes as the people did when it …
Fourth Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie came out this past year and it was wonderful! It is my favorite movie of the Harry Potter movies so far! The acting was great and so were the settings and scenes! The fourth book is huge and they were able …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …
