They Live a classically bad sci-fi flick
I’m actually old enough to remember Roddy Piper in his prime as a pro wrestler and when he left the industry to pursue a movie career. As the movie They Live proves, he should have stuck to wrestling.
Overall, it’s not a terrible movie. Piper plays a homeless man who …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …

The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …

The original release date was April 7, 1995 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Comedy/Crime/Thriller and stars Martin Lawrence as …
I Walked with a Zombie movie
Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Movie Hell Boy
Hell Boy with Ron Perlman and John Hurt.
This is another of those movies that brings life to a comic book personality, but it is more of an adventure than a satire. I did like this movie because it had a beginning, a middle, and …
Darkness Falls
There are very few “horror” movies on the market that truly scare me. Darkness Falls is a movie that makes me want to sleep with my lights on.
Set in a town that once wrongfully executed a disfigured woman called “the tooth fairy.” The characters in the film must deal …
Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist movie
I thought this would be good because I like the actor from the movie Superbad, I have never been so wrong. The plot is seemingly non-existent, the guitarist for an emo band makes mix CD’s for a girl who doesn’t want anything to do with him, he meets a …
Original Sin movie

One in the endless row of detective stories that seldom or never show …
Erin Brockovich Movie
This is a fantastic movie! Whenever it comes on television I like to watch it all the way through.
Erin Brockovich is the incredible true story of a single mother of three children. She begins to work at a law firm on an important case dealing with a company that …
Movie Just Friends
I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …
Untraceable movie
Untraceable came out earlier in the year and was supposed to be a movie of the Thriller genre. I did not see the preview or trailer for this movie but I actually saw it on a whim. The poster for it made it seem like it’d be more of …
Screwed movie
Screwed is a very funny movie and I couldn’t suppress my laughter throughout the movie. It has so many comedy scenes one after another that people can not control their laughter. I faced the same problem throughout the movie when I watched in theater some years ago. It …
Beetlejuice movie
Beetlejuice is one hysterical movie. I love watching it whenever I can. Starring Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the Maitlands, the movie is about a married couple who get killed in a car crash but live on as ghosts of a sort in their home. …
The Replacements (2000)
Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman star in this football movie about a former College Quarterback who is given a chance in the NFL (with other “replacement” players, when a strike is underway. This movie hits the spot for most movie fans, but it could have been better. I am …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
The Merchant of Venice Movie
We have watched the movie Merchant of Venice when we were assigned to do a role play for our presentation when we were in college.

Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …
Love Actually movie
Love Actually is a great Christmas movie, and I watch it every year. The movie has a huge cast and features many big names, like Hugh Grant, as the British Prime Minister, Colin Firth, as a writer trying to deal with heartache of finding his wife in bed with …
King Arthur
This movie is based on historical facts behind the Arthurian legends (or at least so its creators claim). If you are into King Arthur, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table, you will probably enjoy this attempt to create a historical portrait of Arthur. According to the movie, …
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 …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Based on the popular Hasbro toy, G.I. Joe is an elite team of military operatives who take on different international crises around the world. This time, they are dealing with a dangerous arms dealer with warheads powered by nanotechnology capable of taking down a city in seconds. …
Missing movie
From 1982, Missing tells a true story that isn’t always easy to watch. It’s an intense drama that can challenge one’s emotions. It’s a well written production, however, and does tell a story. I hate to term it entertaining, considering the subject matter, but the truth …
Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
Sweet Home Alabama
“Sweet Home Alabama” is the movie where we see Reese Witherspoon in one of here best on screen interpretation. The success of this flick, apart from having a great script, is the great level of acting in it. With actors such as Josh Lucas, Patrick Dempsey and Candice Bergen …

New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.)
I would say watch this movie, New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.) if you want a dosage of humility, some form of morality watch. This movie is something that I truly praise and it has such compassion, feelings and heart. To make this kind …

Movie: High Fidelity (2000)
I thought this movie was extremely entertaining. Rob Gordon, (expertly portrayed by John Cusack) is in the midst of a nasty split from his current girlfriend, Laura (played by Iben Hjejle, best of luck pronouncing that!). He is mad at the world and cannot understand why he cannot succeeed …
Quinceaneara (R, 2005) movie
Quinceanera is a really complex film that has several different layers. Those who have no idea what a Quinceanera is, should understand that it is very much like a Sweet Sixteen or a Bar Mitzvah in U.S. culture. The Quinceaneara is really just the foundation for the …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a movie that is highly recommmended by on eof my friend, so I rented a DVD and watched it yesterday. It was one of thoise movies that makes you think a lot about life after you have finished watching it.
A simple story line of a …
“Couples Retreat” (2009 movie)
There is nothing left of the romantic comedy genre. It’s been on the decline for at least the past decade, with the odd exception that actually mixes the pathos and exhilaration of love lost and found with comedic coincidence and the kind of zany antics that for the most …
Movie: The Wolfman (1941)
Synopsis: Larry Talbot returns to England after his older brother’s untimely death. While visiting some Gypsie fortune tellers, he is bitten by a wearwolf and suddenly has to cope with being one himself.

Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
Well, I didn’t think I would end up liking the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife when my wife forced me to watch it last night. But, it turned out to be pretty decent.
Basically, you have a man who is a time traveler against his will (he can’t control when …
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …
Ong Bak
It’s a martial-art action movie. Fantastic thai martial-art show, and just an average action film.
Honestly, everything is common. Standard story, nothing special on the effects, just an acceptable filming quality and not much of an acting. Even one of my friend made a joke after watching this movie. He …
In Her Shoes movie
In Her Shoes is one movie every sibling should see (especially sisters). I for one saw it with my sister. But unlike the characters in the movie, my sister and I have a close relationship. Probably because we are so similar in alot of ways, unlike the sisters in …

27 Dresses (Movie)

Deadly Matrimony - Part 2 movie
The second part of Deadly Matrimony focuses on how Brian Dennehy’s detective sergeant character of John Reed sets out to find out who killed Dianne Masters, and once he knows, to take care of cleaning up the corrupted Chicago police department.
