Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …

Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …
The Good Guy Movie
I saw The Good Guy at the recommendation of a close friend who absolutely loved it. She did preface it with the fact that she did not really know why she loved it so much but something about it really stuck with her. Also, it helped that she had …
Avatar, epic science fiction action film
James Cameron is one of the few directors that know how to make a movie that explains everything. The man’s films will never have you questioning what happened or what so and so are doing at a certain point. James Cameron is one of the best directors out there …
Waitress
Waitress is a very good movie, and when I watched it, I enjoyed it. This is a movie about drama, and about people. How different characters in this life makes an impact on a pie-maker, acted by Keri Russell. She played the character Jenna.
Jenna wanted to …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …
Point Break DVD - Pure Adrenaline Edition
Point Break was the movie Patrick Swayze did right after Ghost. He wanted something totally different from the leading man persona he’d been in that film, and boy did he get it. In Point Break, Swayze stars as Bodhi, a surfer guru, who comes in contact with …
March of the Wooden Soldiers
I never really understood the fascination with Laurel and Hardy movies before; mostly because I never got an opportunity to watch them. It was a popular dual before I was even born and, let’s be honest, it’s not like it would be the type of movie I would look …
The Uninvited Movie
The camera soars over the crashing waves of the English Coast and the eerie music swells, our hero begins telling us about how haunted these shores are; my skin starts to deliciously crawl and I pull my afghan up tighter under my chin. It doesn’t matter how many …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …
The exterminating angel movie
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is probably the one film most people remember the director Luis Bunuel for, but actually, The exterminating angel tells a very similar story and was made about ten years earlier by Bunuel. It tells the story of a group of rich people who …
BUTTERFLY EFFECT MOVIE
How many of us have ever wondered, if we had made a different choice over what seemed a tiny thing, spontaneous things just done; would life be different for ourselves and, also, for others? I know I have. THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is ALL about how one man manages to …
The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
Without A Clue Movie
This movie creates a funny twist to the famous Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson duo, with Dr. Watson being the mastermind and the genius and Holmes nothing but a fictional character created by him and represented by a hired actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine). While Kincaid gets all the …
Movie Eternal Summer

Rio - Blue Sky Studios Animated Movie
Rio is an animated movie by the company Blue Sky Studios. It tells the story of a group of tropical birds that are kidnapped and try to escape.
I have only recently began to watch Blue Sky Studios movies and the one thing that seems to be consistent is …
Elvira Mistress of the Dark
You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …

Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
Far Cry, film by Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is not the best choice when it comes to video game movie adaptations. His track record is bad (I thought Postal was good) but some how he still gets the rights to these video games and makes them into films. Far Cry is the video game based …
30 Days of Night
This is a good movie if you like horror movies and you don’t mind gory things. If you are a person that doesn’t like gory or cannot take it I don’t recommend it. It kept me interested, the acting was good, I wasn’t really bored at all. There were …
Dead End movie (2003)
“Dead End” is one of those obscure, relatively unknown, direct-to-video horror movies that I came across on cable. I like the lead actor, Ray Wise, who once starred in the surreal TV series, “Twin Peaks.” I also like watching a suspenseful horror film from time to time. It’s just …

Hitch Movie
One of the best and my favorite comedians and actors is Will Smith, he can do comedy as if he was born to do it and act comically, he also has great skills as with Bad Boys and Hancock, and here on Hitch I think this movie really suited …
Becoming Jane movie
Becoming Jane is the 2007 release starring Ann Hathaway and James McAvoy and is a movie about the life and times of writer Jane Austen, who produced prestigious works such as Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice.
I found this movie particularly moving because it so sadly, yet …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …

Street Law, movie (1974)

Shutter Island movie
This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. I love Kate Winslet, and enjoy her movies so much. Jim Carrey is always the funny guy but in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind you will see a different side of him. Eternal Sunshine of the …
Little Miss Sunshine
Typically I wait until after the Oscars have passed to start diving into the nominated (and winning) films. Little Miss Sunshine is a movie packed with an inviting cast and some pretty hilarious dialogue. Following a family on their quest to enter their daughter in the …
Moulin Rouge
Erm, I was not thinking that this was the best movie of all time. It has Nicole Kidman, who I love, and Ewan McGregor, and I own the movie, but it just wasn’t my favorite. I think the ideas presented in the movie were great fun … but it …
