Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison. Forman uses an epic style to tell this story, and that works very …
White House Down (2013 Film)
White House Down is a 2013 movie that I decided to watch after my sister recommended it to me. I remember seeing the film previews during the evening time on TV, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that it just another president doom’s day movie …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …
Love Crime (2010 film)
Love Crime is a French thriller that manages to keep you on the edge of your seat, undeterred to chase along the rapid-fire subtitles at the bottom. A film by Alain Corneau, Love Crime stars Ludivine Sagnier (the chic Parisienne in Love Songs and notably from another Ozon …
Supernatural
I love sci fi or horror movies. Supernatural is one of those movies. I was scared to watch them alone at first, then I found out that they don’t tell about ghosts or anything scary like that. They tell stories about demons and devils. Ghosts …
Hide and Seek (2005 movie)
I don’t really get the gist of this movie, it’s one of those films that just doesn’t make any sense. From the beginning, things just didn’t add-up, people were dying…claimed to be killed by the little girl’s imaginary friend. One would not begin the believe that the killer was …

One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring
My daughter loves Tom & Jerry cartoons. So, when I saw I could load the hour-long movie Tom & Jerry: The Magic Ring on our Netflix player for her, I did.
I ended up watching it with her last night and it was an OK cartoon but I guess I’m …

Movie 2012
“2012″ will remind you a lot of other big disaster movies, such as “Independence Day” and “The Day After Tomorrow”.
So here’s a little background on the predictions this movie is based around - one of the earliest civilizations - the Mayans, predicted there would be great change to …
Hollow Reed movie
I actually came across the movie “Hollow Reed” by accident before I had never even heard of it and when I saw it starting it seemed that nothing else worth watching was being aired on cable television at the time. To make things even better, the movie was a …
Bye Bye Birdie
I just adore Bye Bye Birdie and always have. It’s an upbeat, delightful movie musical with a cast that includes one of my favorites, Dick Van Dyke. Dyke’s good-natured demeanor make him perfect for this role as a budding musician with an overbearing mother and a very …
Film Up
This is an animated movie by Disney/Pixar. It is 90 minutes long. It is rated PG.
I have to say it is the most wonderful cartoon movie I’ve seen in a very long time. It is about an old man who decides that it is never too late to pursue …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …
Movie The Dinosaur Hunter
The Dinosaur Hunter with Simon McCorkindale.
This movie actually angered me. It gave us an alluring title, but then lied to the viewer. It was not about hunting dinosaurs and had so little action that I found myself playing solitaire while watching it.
…

Recently, I saw a Telugu movie called Aa Naluguru. I like this movie a lot because it clearly shows how human beings are in modern society, and how the values and morals are decreasing and how to earn fame as well as HOW TO WIN PEOPLE. Casted …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)

Ice Princess (2005)
Ice Princess is one of the movies, I consider an inspiration for youngster and adult. It is about the struggles a student must overcome, in order to go through college or university. What lies beyond high school? One may either join the workforce or take the first step in …

The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
What can I say - the title of this review says it all! I watched “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at Greenbelt Cinema 3 with my best friend and her son last weekend and it was, in a word, awesome! The movie really lived up to all the hype.
If …
Just My Luck movie
I was given free tickets to a premier showing of “Just My Luck,” starring Lindsey Lohann, so a male friend of mine and I went to see it. Every teenage girl within a 30-mile radius seemed to be at this premier. Some of them even managed to drag …
The Thin Red Line movie
A war story by the poetic filmmaker Terrence Malick. He created the visually stunning films Days of Heaven and Badlands back in the 1970s, then he didn’t make a film until his come back with this film more than 20 years later. I don’t think it is as engaging …
Seven Pounds Movie
When asked Will Smith on what this story was all about, he said he couldn’t really tell as the narration would give away the story itself! I was really curiuos and knowing Will to be a very good actor, I watched this in anticipation.

Movie I know who killed me
Whenever I read a tabloid article about Lindsay Lohan getting busted for drunk driving or entering re-hab, I can’t help but be saddened. That’s because, for all the negative publicity she receives, she is actually not that bad of an actress.
Her latest movie, I know who killed me, is …
Netflix
I’ve taken the time to review Netflix before and still remain as big of a fan of the company as I was months ago.

House of Wax
Starring: Elisha Cuthbert (Carly), Paris Hilton (Paige), Chad Michael Murray (Nick), Jared Padalecki (Wade) Brian Van Holt (Bo/Vincent)
This is categorized as a horror show; however I was not terrified; instead I was more taken with the lifelike wax sculptures and the way they were created.
The story started with …
Independence Day Will Smith
Although this movie is a couple of years old, it is still one of my favorite adventure movies. I love the fast paced scenes with the constant explosions. To be honest, I can’t resist a good movie with aliens invading. The story is about the planet earth trying to …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
Anger Management (movie)
Anger Management is a movie with Adam Sander and Jack Nicholson as Dave and Dr. Rydell, respectively. You might wonder how these two actors play off each other, and I felt they did very well in Anger Management. I like Adam Sandler but really adore Jack Nicholson. Adam Sandler …
Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …

My wife and I were feeling a bit nostalgic this past weekend and picked up the movie Ghoulies to watch. We both remember watching this movie as kids but couldn’t remember much from it (other than the one popping out of the toilet) and figured it would be worth …
IMAX: Hubble 3D
