Dead poet society movie
The movie Dead Poet Society was one of my favorite movie at all time. It’s also known to be other people’s favorite movie too. I think this one is a classic for me. I love it very much and don’t mind watching it over and over again. It’s starting …
Middle Men (movie)
While I don’t remember seeing the movie “Middle Men” advertise on television, after reading someone’s post about it on a blog about movies I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t think that the movie was too bad at all in fact, and I thought it became …

Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …
Superhero Movie
When I saw previews to Superhero Movie, I wasn’t really sure whether it would be funny or not. From the previews, I thought it would just focus on known super heroes like Superman and Batman and find ways to spoof them; a formula that has worked on some subjects …
Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …

A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …
Dogma
Dogma was a great film. There are so many things I like about it, it would be impossible to list them all. But I will give you best parts.
Firstly the director is Kevin Smith who makes interesting films which are funny and have a fresh take on …
Movie Predator
There is this movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger long before he became the Governer of California, it was called the Predator.
This movie is thrilling and exciting. Arnold stars as asoldier of fortune who is assigned with his elite force to seek out a lost group of soldiers. He finds …
Jurassic Park I: The Movie
In my opinion the movie Jurassic Park based on the novel from Michael Crichton is one of the great set of movies based upon his books. The animation and idea behind the movie is cutting edge for the time it was created in 1993. The plot for the movie …
A Boy and His Dog (1975)
This is one of those post apocalypse science fiction movies, set in the year 2024 after World War Four. The world we see is a bleak wasteland, mostly desert and rock. People dig in the sand for old cans of food and there is one tiny town where the …
Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …

Flashback of a Fool
When I saw the movie “Flashbacks of a Fool” on the cable guide last night I was a bit baffled as to how I never heard of it; and it was a fairly recent movie; especially since I learned after, the popular British actor who now plays the role …
Thr3e
“Thr3e,” released in 2007, is based on a popular novel by Ted Dekker. It is a fast-paced, well-made thriller with a big time surprise ending. Kevin Parson (Marc Blucas), a seminary student, receives a phone call from a stranger who demands that Kevin “confesses his sin” - or his …
Movie: In the Army Now
Synopsis: An underachiever and his friend join the US Army and, not wanting to be in combat, sign up for water detail; only to find they will be responsible for saving the lives of hundreds.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not a huge Paulie Shore fan. But, I …
Balls of Fury
Starting from the ambiguous title, this flick sets up expectations for a superficial and possibly disgusting comedy with the kick-in-the-balls type of humor. The expectations are justified. Granted, “Balls of Fury” is a parody, but parody doesn’t have to be stupid or revolting, in my opinion.
Randy, the main character, …
Freaky Friday
Freaky Friday is a very entertaining and enjoyable movie. The movie starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in the main roles is the story of a mother and daughter who can not understand each other and are not a perfect mother and perfect daughter respectively. They don’t agree …
Deja Vu DVD Movie
I am not sure if there is a Deja vu, in real life, or that time could be traced back to where we wanted things not to happen. This is the case for the movie Deja vu, which stars my favorite actor, Denzel Washington.
This movie is about Denzel, …
The Last Picture Show movie
Peter Bogdanovich is one of the few actual film critics that later went into the director’s profession and was successful. The Last Picture Show is his most critically acclaimed film and is an original story about the teenagers of a small american town and their relationships to each other. …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Movie
I waited for the release of this movie if only because it was going to be their first in the series to be shown in IMAX-3D. I was happy that there was an IMAX theatre in my area, and I spent the better part of the week convincing my …
Movie The Candidate
“What do we do now?”
It’s a simple question, but it’s a chilling one when asked by Bill McKay in The Candidate. McKay is played brilliantly by Robert Redford. He’s a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. He’s idealistic, and he doesn’t believe in making deals. …
The Four Feathers,2002 movie

The Matrix
Watching The Matrix movie is really exiting and absorbing the attention adventure. Based on a original idea, it shows us one fantastic reality, in which the the ordinary people became extraordinary under the pressure of the circumstances. The main meaning is that the most important thing in our …
Movie Legend
I am reviewing the movie called Legend. It stars Tom Cruise(Jack), Mia Sara(Lilly), and Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness.
The story is about good and evil competing against each other: a classic. A movie about a young girl’s innocence.
I think of this as a childrens’ movie but …
UHF, movie (1989)
For over 30 years, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been the biggest name of musical parody. No one was spared from his biting musical barbs, be it Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, or Coolio. His venture into feature film was brief due to box office disappointment for UHF. …
Movie Hitch
“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.
In this movie, we see how Smith stars as Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens …
Seven Psychopaths (movie)
The first time I even heard of the movie “Seven Psychopaths” was when I saw the trailer of it somewhere right before it was released. The biggest impression that the trailer made on me was that it didn’t seem to give away a lot of information like some, and …
Happy Feet Movie
We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …

DVD UFC II
Royce returns in UFC II to win his second tournament and, although some of the matches are quite good such as Royce vs Pat Smith, this event will be forever known for an overmatched Fred Ettish getting a horrible, one sided beating at the hands of Johnny Rhodes.
Actually, there …

Battle Creek Brawl (1980) movie
Watching this movie was a fairly new and interesting experience for me, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Jackie Chan movie like it, and I also used to like Jackie Chan movies. Yes, it was still one of Jackie Chan’s martial arts comedies, but I don’t usually …
The Accidental Husband
The Accidental Husband is a movie story that I’ve watched before starring Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The story is something like a romantic comedy and Uma’s acting is pretty commendable here.
I’ve always thought that she fits serious roles when acting but this story proved me …
Beauty and the Beast 1991 BluRay Movie
One of the greatest Disney cartoons and one of the best cartoons of all time is Beauty and the Beast. I don’t care if anyone agrees with me or not about my opinion above. Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991 and it didn’t just broke records, but …
Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore
This documentary is characteristic of all of Michael Moore’s films-it is done in a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek style. If you like his movies, then you will love this one, because his style and subject matter are up to his usual standards. For me, he always manages to make me think …

Perfect Stranger, directed by James Foley is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content, nudity, some disturbing violent images and language. The original release date was April 13, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/Mystery/Thriller and stars Halle …
Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
I Love You, Man movie
I don’t know most of the names of the characters in this movie I have just watched sometime this week, I Love You, Man. I do know that the guy whom plays the main character is the same guy acting alongside Phoebe in Friends. I only know him …
Coco Avant Chanel: A Film by Anne Fontaine (2009)
I waited a long time to grab a copy of this film. At last, I was able to watch it. I don’t think this movie falls into the fashion film category. Coco Avant Chanel is a biographical account of Grabrielle alias Coco Chanel’s life. It’s …
The Rosary Murders movie
From 1987, The Rosary Murders begins with a priest being murdered at a catholic hospital and the news that a woman is leaving the sisterhood to marry a non-catholic. She doesn’t quite make it, though, since she’s the next to be killed, and it’s quite the bloody scene, …
Movie Cleopatra
In my opinion, the movie Cleopatra was outstanding and exciting till the last moment. The movie was broke into joyful sections, melancholy sections, and humorous sections. One of the humorous sections was when the Egyptian fleet was set on fire by Caesar; Cleopatra instantly went to meet him. Caesar …
Atonement movie
“Atonement” is a 2007 production from Working Title films filmed in color in England and France. The 130 minute English language movie that was filmed in studios and on locations throughout England. The movie is based on the novel by Ian McEwan.
I really liked this movie and was …

Seven Pounds is a sad drama starring Will Smith and directed by Gabrielle M. who also directed the Pursuit of Happiness. The movie set a sad and tragical tone with Will Smith rather than his usual happy figure. You can expect to cry or feel sorry for the people in …
