Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …

This is the movie that brought the Superman franchise from the pages of the comic book and TV to the general public on the silver screen. Giving viewers a taste of what the readers already know, they introduce the Superman feel from life on the planet Krypton leading up …

Batman series: The Dark Knight
What do you know?
It actually lived up to the hype. I was having second thoughts whether or not I should watch this movie but since I was with a friend who wanted to see it, I was forced.
Any boy was I thankful.
The movie started with The Joker robbing the …
Save the Last Dance
I don’t see much interracial romantic movies so when this movie came out, I decided to watch it. Plus the fact that it stars Julia Stiles who I like so much because of the movie 10 Things I Hate About You (with Heath Ledger). Directed by Thomas Carter, Save …

Memory Movie
Memory has to be the most confusing and convoluted movie I have ever seen. I’ve been a big fan of Billy Zane for a number of years, and I’ve followed his career off and on. Since his role in Titanic, the man hasn’t had a lot of success save …
From Hell Movie
Poor Alan Moore. He created some of the most visionary graphic novels to ever see print and the film adaptations almost always disappoint. LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN went from adventure satire to an X-MEN clone. V FOR VENDETTA went from chilling vision of the future to pushing political themes …
Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …

So I am so into Benedict Cumberbatch right now that I am a Cumberbtch myself so I wanted to watch every movie he’s in so now, I will be giving you my review about the movie Black Mass. The movie was released just last year of October, 2015. I also …
The Incredibles movie

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
With the release of the Transformers on the year 2007, many fans anticipated the sequel of the famed Transformers. I was one of them. The first movie captured my interest (although I’m already a fan of the old school Transformers cartoons) because of the plot, action scenes, and most specially …
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 …
TRAITOR, The Movie Jeffrey Nachmanoff
An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Movie
This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …
The Beach movie
I heard of the movie “The Beach” when I was in my second year of high school. I can remember that it was promoted a lot then and a few of my friends wanted to go and see it in theatres, especially the ones who had managed to buy …
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 …
Odd Couple 2 movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple 2, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the second one. The first one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple, and it features a very young looking Walter Matthau and …
Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …
The Reader movie
The movie was an adaptation from the novel “Der Vorleser” , which was written by German law professor Bernhard Schlink.
The movie garnered nominations in the recently concluded Academy Awards and won the best actress trophy to Kate Winslet for Best Actress. After watching the Oscars, I was really …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …
Natural Born Killers (1994 black comedy thriller movie)
Natural Born Killers was one of those movies that I kept hearing about, but I never got to see. Therefore, recently I made it my duty to get it so I could finally know what it was that I had missed. While I have to admit that the movie did …
Burn After Reading
Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …
Forest Gump movie
Forest Gump is someone I would like to know. Of course this is a movie about a fictional character but I like to believe there are people like Forest in the world. Forest Gump is played by Tom Hanks who is absolutely super! Forest is mentally handicapped and his …

Knocked Up
Knocked Up with Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann.
Only one word can describe this romantic comedy - stinker. Rogen and Heigl play two personalities on opposite ranges of professional career motivation, yet end up hooking up in a drunken binge. …
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …

Lion (2016 Drama Film)
Some movies are really made to catch awards attention. They often fail because the process becomes terribly inorganic, instead of telling a good story, they somehow focus in smaller details in the film - and while on paper it sounds good, the end material is always somewhat disappointing. Take for …
King of California
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, King of California, starring Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas plays a mentally ill, deadbeat dead who left his daughter to fend for herself. Douglas plays Charlie, a musician who has just been released from a mental hospital. Evan Rachel Wood plays his daughter, …
Headless Horseman movie
I wanted to watch a horror movie with my wife last night but, since we were starting pretty late, I didn’t want to watch anything that was well-known (read that as good) just in case we ended up falling asleep during it. So, I loaded the movie Headless Horseman …
Buried Movie (2010)
Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …
Ted (2012 movie)
Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …
Shutter movie
When we rented the film Shutter this weekend I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I knew it was a remake of another film made in Asia somewhere and, while some movies (like The Ring) translate out to be terrifying. Others (like the Grudge) aren’t nearly as good.
With Shutter, …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet, directed by George Miller and Warren Coleman is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some mild peril and rude humor.

Knocked Up

The Men Who Stare at Goats, war comedy film
What the hell is up with George Clooney? The man is showing up in all of these goddamn films and half of them—¦wait no, most of them suck! The one movie that really got me pissed off at the movie theaters was The Men Who Stare at Goats. This …
The Game Plan
I would describe this recent release as nothing special but okay. While it is probably not going to become a beloved classic, this family-oriented movie is warm, clean, funny at times, and it tries to deliver a positive message. In a nutshell, a tough NFL football player too full …
Amazing Grace by Michael Apted
Amazing Grace by director Michael Apted is based on the true story about William Wilberforce and his quest to end slavery in Britain. Before watching this movie, I knew nothing about slavery beyond the United States. Heroes such as Wilberforce were unknown to me. This movie, with enthusiastic acting …

Ant-Man (Superhero Movie)
Ant-Man was possibly the only Marvel movie that caught me off-guard because I didn’t remember hearing of the superhero until after I saw the movie trailer, and because I wasn’t sure how seriously I could take one that had shrinking to the size of an ant as a superpower. However, …
Batman The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Movie
Dark Knight Rises. When you think about it, it certainly sounds like a Batman movie. I mean, Batman is always needing to rise above or overcome something. His world is always filled with darkness and overcoming the evils of Gotham City. But in this movie, I think there were …

The Breed is a horror movie that was directed by Wes Craven. The plot of the movie is simple. It concerns a small group of teenagers (the typical age group of victims in horror movies, especially Wes Craven horror movies) who go camping on a remote island. …
George of the Jungle movie
This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.
Basically a spoof of Tarzan, Fraser plays George, a young child abandoned in the jungle and raised by apes. He’s not too bright and is very clumbsy but has a good heart …
Shutter Island (2010 film)
Martin Scorsese won me with The Departed and continued his amazing streak of great movies with Shutter Island-a psychological thriller motion picture for which I thought that I literraly watched in one breath although throughout the film I was usually out of one.
