The Village (2004 Movie)
M. Night Shyamalan has another best selling thriller and decides to make it into a movie…bad idea, very bad idea as you do a very good job taking the life from the book. maybe he should stick to writing the books and leave to directing to those who seem …
Garbage Pail Kids movie
I am now going to review a horrible movie called Garbage Pail Kids.Before, I get into reviewing,let me give a little explanation why it was made. A big thing in the 80s was a fad involving a series of trading cards targeted to kids called the garbage pail kids.These …
Twilight
Everyone is so crazy about the book “Twilight”, well I personally haven’t read much about the book, but I did watch the movie a few weeks ago. The truth of the matter is, I think the movie is not as good as the book, this is because the story …

Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
Movie He’s Just Not That Into You
He may not be that into you, but I was completely “into” this movie. An adorable adaptation from the book, this die-hard chick flick follows the love lives (with all their ups and downs) of several hapless singles. He loves her, but she loves the other guy, who’s married …
27 Dresses (Movie)
This is a movie about weddings, which is a topic that I love to watch in movies. Of course with any movie about weddings, there is some kind of conflict having to do with the bride. And that’s definitely the case in this movie. The main character is in …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …
Mean Girls
I was a Lindsay Lohan fan before all the controversy about her surfaced. I think she’s really pretty and talented. I especially like her in Freaky Friday. But when she started acting up and many negative things about her came out, I stopped watching her movies all together. But …
Made in Heaven movie
A young man dies too soon and goes to heaven where he meets the woman of his dreams. The only problem is that she hasn’t been born yet, and what are the odds of them two meeting again when they are both reborn and back to earth while they …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
Movie: The Green Berets
I have heard of the movie The Green Berets and have seen bits and pieces of the film in the past. But, this past weekend was the first time I had an opportunity to watch the entire movie. And, for the most part, it wasn’t terrible.
My dad is a …
First Knight movie
Richard Gere and Sean Connery features here in the old tale about King Arthur and the knight of the round table, that is said to be mere myths by historians. Anyway, Gere is the brave man who quickly rises to one of Arthur’s favorite knights and most loyal man. …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
The Foresaken Movie
The Foresaken is one of the many horror movies that were rushed into production following the success of Scream. The makers grabbed a handful of attractive actors, and slapped together a movie without giving it a lot of though.
On the surface this is a typical teen vampire movie, …
50 First Dates
This is a fun yet predictable movie starring Adma Sandler (enough said on what kind of movie to expect) basically the story goes like this. Adam Sandler plays the part of an average dude who lives in Hawaii and falls for a blonde (Drew Barrymore) which he met in …
Lion King movie
This is truly a magnificent movie, one of the best to be put out by the Disney people in many years. A powerful tale of family and greed, deception and betrayal, set against the backdrop of the African Savannah. Once again, Disney falls back upon its tried and true …
Movie Resident Evil: Extinction
I sat down to watch the third Resident Evil movie last night; Extinction. While I thought it was an OK movie, I think they might have taken the series a bit too far.
The first thing I really didn’t like about that movie is the fact about half the main …
Taking Lives
This movie, Taking Lives is another one acted by Angie which I’ve watched. Angie played an officer or rather an agent; the FBI type and she embarks on a very challenging case which is to investigate a brutal murder. She is actually not on the case, but her …
The Shawshank Redemption
Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process. Such an intimidating task requires an tremendously capable artist with an indisputable managerial …
The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…
Hoodwinked movie
My family and I recently rented the new kids movie Hoodwinked. If you don’t know about this movie than let me give an overview of it. Hoodwinked is about the story Little Red Riding Hood with a bit of a twist. Little Red delivers desserts for her grandmother. As …
The incredibles
I just recently had the chance to watch this movie on dvd. My friends were telling me about it and how different it is from all the other super hero staff around. It is indeed with a special kind of humour, not as dark as the hero comix we …
Movie Sister Act
I doubt if there is someone who didn’t watch this hilarious comedy with the actress, Whoopi Goldberg at her best. If there is someone who didn’t watch it, run to the nearest DVD bookshop and by a copy right now!
“Sister Act” is about a singer Deloris Van Cartier (Goldberg) …
Danika (R, 2006)
Marisa Tomei is one of those actresses who pops up in an unexpected film and steals the show. She did so in “Danika”—”a film about a woman who has a tight hold on her children, and is a bit overprotective. This is the way the film is …
Major League
Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …
Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
Roxanne 1987 movie
What a pathetic movie. The story is stolen from Cyrano de Bergerac, modernized and stupidified. Steve Martin plays a big-nosed guy, smart and good-hearted but unattractive. Then comes Roxanne, a beautiful scientist. A handsome but brainless fellow likes her, however he is so scared to show his stupidity that …
The Dark Night
I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.
I enjoyed “Batman Begins,” but it didn’t capture my imagination is the way I hoped it would. …
Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a parody send up of Star Trek and Babylon 5 made by a group of friends using nothing but their own equipment and personal computers. When one realizes that, the special effects in the film (which are top notch) are all the …
The Edge of Seventeen (2016 Coming-of-Age Film)
Seriously? Another coming-of-age/young adult movie? Well yes, that is what I expected when I watched this film last night. However, when the film ended, I accused myself of immediately judging the book by its own cover. What happens inside this movie is structurally the same as almost any young adult …
Movie Alice in wonderland
It’s not just Pandora that is beautiful in 3D. Tim Burton’s twisted fairy tale universe flash magic of both horror and beauty.
Alice has been 19 years. She remains steadfast and willful, and when a anemisk aristocrat proposes to her, put her off from it all - and almost …

the verge of a divorce after a short but beautiful courtship. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams act
their hearts out in this tearjerker and really bring to life these characters along with their …
Edge of Darkness (2010) movie
I’m always hesitant to watch a Mel Gibson film but I decided to jump in and try this one. Edge of Darkness is a movie based on an old BBC series with the same name.
Mel Gibson is a detective named Thomas Craven who’s daughter is shot outside of his …
Charlotte’s Web (1973)
This is the tale of a pig, and spider and the spider’s web, a story that to this day still warms the heart of many people world wide with what this story brings. When a litter of pigs were born on a farm, of them were smaller than the …
Film “The Carriers” (2009)
The opening scene of carriers is a group of young people driving down the road drinking. We find out they are following some sort of code of rules they made up but not why. They soon come upon a car that is stopped and begging for gas. …
Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …
Noah’s Ark (1999)
With all due respect to Mr. John Voight and Miss Mary Steenburgen I like them both because they are very good actor and actress. I never doubted their talents after all these years I have watched their movies; however, I really did not like one of the movies …
Film Up
Could a thousand balloons filled with helium gas really uproot a house from the ground and send it hovering in the sky for many days? Is it really possible for an old man and a boy to travel inside a flying house in open air without feeling out of …
Kung Fu Panda
Seldom do I watch animated movies. I first read about Kung Fu Panda in articles about the Cannes Film Festival and when I found out that it features the voices of Angelina Jolie and Jack Black, two of my favorite actors, I became interested. So interested in fact that …
Finding Neverland (2004)
“Finding Never Land” 2004 movie is the charming story of J.M. Barrie’s writing of “Peter Pan.” The movie is in English, was filmed in color, and lasts 106 minutes. When the movie begins Barrie (Johnny Depp) is a well-known playwright who has suffered a setback with his most recent …
(500) Days of Summer movie
If you like romantic comedies this is, in my opinion, the best of the year. Believe it or not, as a fan of all things romantic, I’ve a very low tolerance for the cheese-factor in film scripts. Yep, I still pride myself on being a realist. …
Escape To Witch Mountain
Another cherished Disney memory from the 70s, I was thrilled when it became available on DVD. Escape to Witch Mountain is the tale of aliens who crashland on Earth. Survivors of the tragedy found refuge on what the surrounding community called Witch Mountain, because of the strange goings-on there.
Tia …
The Avengers Movie in 3D
Having grown up on comic books I was a excited about seeing the avengers. While I am no longer a comic book reader I like seeing the movies that mirror the comics that I read as a kid. I was really excited about The Avengers because this …
Artic Tale (2007)
This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …
Tom and Jerry the Movie
My daughter is currently watching Tom and Jerry the Movie for the second time tonight. While she seems to enjoy the movie (which is probably the only thing that matters), I have to say I’m not a huge fan of it.
Overall, it isn’t a terrible movie, the cat and …

Curse of the Komodo (2003) movie
This is a pretty good monster movie. It’s about some scientists on a tropical island that did experiments on a komodo until it grew to giant size. Of course, the scientists were working for the government. The plot of this picture is very similar to “Komodo vs Cobra”, with …
