Alien vs. Predator
The anticipated meeting of two of movie’s greatest monsters is finally realized, but unfortunately fails to deliver beyond an initial, fleeting novelty.
There’s some thought put into it; an original Antarctic setting is visually impressive and the back story trying to tie these movie monsters into ancient history is …
The Love Guru
I’ve always liked Mike Myers as a comedian. However, some of his movies haven’t been anywhere near as good as his earlier films like Wayne’s World and Austin Powers Man of Mystery. So, when his movie The Love Guru came out, I ended up believing the critics when they …
Pearl Harbor (2001)
This movie is staged in the period where the Japanese government decided to launch a secret attack on the United States of America by sending the naval fleet to attack the US naval fleet. The bombing of Pearl Harbor became a legend story to be told of how the …
Annapolis movie
When I rented Annapolis on DVD this weekend, I was expecting another great military movie. What I got was a good boxing movie with a little bit of military in the background.
Centering around the life of a U.S. Naval Academy recruit, Annapolis gave me an idea of what new …
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 …
Blazing Saddles movie (1974)
Is anyone else a Mel Brooks film lover? I know I am. The first time I saw one of his films, I was a kid and asked my mother about any other films he might have made. My first one was …
Tenchi in Tokyo
“Tenchi in Tokyo” was a follow up anime series to a previous show known as “Tenchi Muyo” When I first saw this one advertising to start being aired on the programme “Toonami” which was broadcast on the cable television channel Cartoon Network; I somehow didn’t think it would be …
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 …
Captain Phillips (movie)
One of my top ten movies that I watched this year so far has been the one named “Captain Phillips”. The thing about this movie though was that when I first saw the trailer advertising in late 2013 it didn’t really hold my interest enough for me to think …
Clash of the Titans (1981 movie)
Here is a movie that I think directors will have a wonderul time with the remake, that’s if they have what it takes to re-invent the characters and make them seem real enough for the viewing public. Based in mythical times with mythical creatures such as the gigantic titans, …
It Could Happen to You
Rob and I watched this movie the other night that starred Nicholas Cage in It could Happen to You. In this movie Nicholas plays Charlie Lang a New York cop, and he is married to Muriel (Rosie Perez) you dislike Muriel from the begining of the movie she …
Looney Toons: Back in Action- the movie
I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …
Tropic Thunder
Ben Stiller’s new film Tropic Thunder has been getting a lot of heat from African Americans for Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of a man in what is essentially blackface and from disabilities advocates, unhappy with the way the film discusses the mentally disabled by using the word “retard”. Stiller …
Me, Myself & Irene (starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger)
I watched Me, Myself & Irene 2 times actually and the first time I watched, I didn’t really have a clue as to what the story is all about because I wasn’t concentrating at all. During that time, the movie story was shown on my local TV and I …
The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
Abduction Of Innocence: A Moment Of Truth Movie
Abduction Of Innocence: A Moment Of Truth Movie is about a young, teenage girl who plays a hand in having herself kidnapped. The girl, Clare, is part of threesome and they plot to have her kidnapped, and succeed in the plan. Clare is then returned after her kidnappers pay …
Alien 2 Aliens Special Edition 1986 BluRay Movie
When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …
The Parent Trap - Film 1961
The first time I ever watched this movie I did so rather tongue-in-cheek - simply because my mother had recommended it and my mother and I do not have the same taste in movies! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is a bit of an understatement.
The story …
The Hunger Games movie
This movie had gotten mixed reviews. The general consensus is that people who have read the book were disappointed, while people who haven’t read the book liked it a bit more. I fall into the latter.
I found it to be quite enjoyable. It was well paced, …
Across the universe
‘Across the universe’ is an English movie directed by Julie Taymor. The actors are Evan, Jim, Joe etc In this movie, the time is around 1960. There is a young man named Jude. He is a shipyard worker. Now, he joins the merchant marine and it so happens …
Live and let die movie
In the first James Bond film with Roger Moore as the popular british agent he is given the mission to investigate some mysterious murders and is finally lead to the evil diplomat Katanga. I have to admit I found this film rather boring for a Bond film. There are …
Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)
There are times when some of the best movies I’ve seen were ones I stumbled across haphazardly. I first became aware of this particular film after seeing a t-shirt for it on the horror site, Rotten Cotton. A trailer for the film was viewable next to the …
Dragonheart (1996)
Dragonheart, directed by Rob Cohen is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for action/violence. The original release date was May 31, 1996 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Drama/Fantasy and stars Dennis Quaid as Bowen, David Thewlis as King Einon, Pete …
Prisoners (2013 movie)
Prisoners was one of those films that I kept putting off watching even when I had the time. There was something about the trailer that didn’t make it appear interesting to me even though most if not all of the people in the main roles were very good an popular …
Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …
Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …
The Helen Morgan Story movie
I absolutely adore The Helen Morgan Story. It’s an oldie, from 1957, but it is so tragically romantic that I was drawn to it from the first time I saw it. Helen Morgan was a singer and actress who made a name for herself on Broadway. …
Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …
The Runaways Movie
I watched The Runaways last night not knowing what the story was about. My sister-in-law asked me to watch it and tell her the gist of the story so that she can be included at some of their little chit-chats at the office. She feels a little …
Black Cat Episode 4
Black Cat Episode 4 involves Sven and Rinslet Walker trying to rescue Eve from Torneo’s mansion while Black Cat tries to finish the job and kill her.
I liked this episode a lot; it was really clever and showed off more of Sven’s talents as a master escape artist. …
Incident on a Dark Street movie
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d seen this movie, Incident on a Dark Street, back when it aired in 1973, but I don’t remember it. Still, it was a TV pilot that had all the makings of a show I probably would watch. It didn’t sell, however, …
Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …
Tenchi Muyo
“Tenchi Muyo” was one of the first anime series I can remember watching regularly when I was a teenager. It was also one of my favorites. The show would be aired on a programme called “Toonami” which would be broadcast on weekday afternoons on the cable television channel Cartoon …
Letters from a Killer movie
Letters from a Killer (1998) is a thriller that some still have a hard time watching, not because of the action on screen, but what happened off screen. It was while shooting this movie in California, that Patrick Swayze went head-first into a tree and almost killed himself. It …
Enough Movie
This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …
Push
I think that Push the movie is not that bad but not that great either. Honestly speaking, it has some good and bad moments. Child actress Dakota Fanning is charming as always but I find that her role could have been better.
Maybe because this is kind …
My Baby’s Daddy (2004)
Childhood friends and business men, their lives take a change when their respective significant others all have children at the same time, now the men must take time off from the regular jobs to now be stay at home dads while the women go out and be the bread …
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
The Book of Eli Movie
A film with Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, an apocalypse, and books. How could this movie be bad? Well, ‘The Book of Eli’ makes it look easy.
The opening scene had me expectant of a good watch. I liked the way the film looked; excellent use of light and shadow, earthy …
Movie Descent
My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …
Evangelion:Death & Rebirth
A film based on the manga series called Evangelion. The story of this series is very, very complicated if you don’t know it well, and this film is definitely made for fans only, which is a shame I think because it has a lot of interesting qualities. The audience …
The Queens of Comedy (stand-up comedy)
For a stand-up comedy genre; and if you want something totally hilarious just for fun’s purpose, do rent The Queens of Comedy. Highly rated by most and I was trying to find out what the fuss is all about with this and truly arguably, I think this works a …
A Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Movie 2010)
Ever remembered staring at your crush in school and not being able to tell him how you feel? Do you remember those days when you would call his phone just to hear his voice and hung up a minute later without even saying a word? Ever remember those crazy …
Netflix Online Mail-Order Movie Rental Service
This is a very disappointing and much over-hyped service for many reasons, but it has a few slightly redeeming factors.
When I first used my free trial membership, the movies arrived in a flash. Sometimes literally 1 day later. The turn around was nearly as fast, and I …
Billa
Billa was the tremendous box office hit tail movie that was came out in the early 1980’s. The movie was produced by the actor Balaji and directed by Rajendran. The movie casts are Rajinikanth, Sri Priya, Balaji, Suruli Rajan, Manorama, Srinivasan, etc. Rajinikanth played dual role …
Stargate SG-1 Thor’s Hammer
“Thor’s Hammer” is a wonderful entry in the Stargate SG-1 franchise. It’s one I always enjoy watching and that I do watch frequently.
Our heroes are divided up in this show. Upon arriving on a planet known as Cimmeria, Jack and Teal’c are transported to a dingy underground …
Over The Hedge
I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …
Mona Lisa Smile
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” because I have always found it very hard to watch movies starring the actress Julia Roberts. This is because I’m used to her starring in a lot of romance films which I don’t like as …

Wet 2 Straight Remington Hot Iron
My hair is unfortunately very untamable at times. That is, until I was given a hot iron by my sister that has worked wonderfully on my hair without causing any damage or dryness. The Wet 2 Straight hot iron from Remington is a product that any boy or girl …
