Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …

Daddy Day Care (DVD)
Dady DAy Care is okay to watch if you have children in the household. But if you dont have children I wouldnt really recommend watching it, evemn though it is funny. In this movie Eddie Murphey loses his job and he needs a way to make income, …
Epic (movie)
One of the animated movies that I watched fairly recently was Epic. I must have seen the trailer advertise a million and one times and not show any interest in seeing it, before I finally yielded one day after one of my family members got the blu-ray version and …
Children of Men
To start off with, any movie that has Michael Caine saying, �Pull my finger� at gunpoint can’t be all bad. And Children of Men is not bad, but it sure is depressing. The story of a future Earth, where the last baby born was eighteen years ago, and now …

Hancock
I saw this movie last week. Hancock is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is dominated by brooding, serious superheroes with little or no sense of humour. It features Will smith, Charlize theron and Jason Bateman. The story is about John Hancock (Will smith), a reckless …

Back to the Future 1 The Movie
When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.
First and foremost, I love the Delorean, even if it’s an out-dated car today, …
“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” movie
After seeing the next one already, overrated film with Depp in the lead role, such as at least three of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” I realized that the goal of this production is only attract large audiences billboard advertising, a good harbinger, and the name of the actor.
With …
Christmas Vacation 2 movie
In one of the odder sequels, we see Christmas Vacation 2, a made for TV movie that came out a couple of years ago. Although the original Vacation, part of the Vacation series had other movies follow it (such as the lamentable Vegas Vacation), this movie does not …
300 (The Movie)
Being a fan of action and adventure, I had high hopes for this movie. I can gladly say that I was not disappointed. It was so great and kept me on the edge of my seat. The scenes were beautifully done and so picturesque. It told the story of …
Movie Rocky
Rocky came out in 1976 and was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone. It is a movie that has inspired me most of my life. It’s about an average, unknown boxer who gets a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
In the movie, the Champion, Apollo Creed, …

This movie, Overheard is a Mandarin movie with English subtitles. It is basically a movie about cops and there are lots of issues here that are played at hand. Issues of honesty, integrity, being honest and also of greediness. But amongst all these attributes, there are also …
City Hunter (movie)
I like watching movies starring the actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan sometimes, but I never heard of the movie City Hunter until some time recently. It was actually supposed to be based on a Japanese manga of the same name, and when I got to watch it, …
The Hulk 2008
When I first saw the movie “Hulk” being advertised before it came out in theatres, I thought that it was actually a sequel to the previous movie which came out a couple years before in the year 2003. However, after seeing it advertise a few more times I realized …

“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
All Dogs Go to Heaven
I was looking for movies my daughter can watch during the afternoons between the time she gets home from school and when my wife and I want the TV. One of those movies was All Dogs Go to Heaven.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so …

There was a time when Hollywood was flooded with films about the ancient Rome. Some of these were very successful, others weren’t. Cleopatra goes in the second category. The incredibly beautiful Elizabeth Taylor plays the queen Cleopatra of Egypt, a most powerful woman who is not easily corrupted. Only …
Moulin Rouge (2001)
This movie is a musical based on the love shared between a writer and a cabaret actress. How quaint that most musicals encompass the same thing. This movie, while it did manage to grasp quite a few nominations for Oscars, only managed to scrape through with winning only two …
The Color Purple by Steven Spielberg
I never thought that I would ever cry watching a movie. Nevertheless it happened when I see The Color Purple with Whoopie Goldberg and Danny Glover. The movie features a young black girl at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Slavery has long …

I am reviewing The Last Vampyre, a Sherlock Holmes movie produced by Granada television in the 1990s. It stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. If you like Science Fiction, then this movie will appeal to you. In this movie, Holmes is …
Movie Click
Usually I love movies that Adam Sandler are in. He is usually really funny and always makes me laugh. I only remember laughing in one part in this movie where the kid gets hit in the face with the ball. Another thing I didn’t like about it is that …

Mike Nichols’ classic film about the confused young Benjamin who is seduced by a older woman, a friend of his parents, which, he later finds out, is an act to keep him away from the daughter of this family, who he in fact is in love with. This is …
Man Of Steel - 2013 Movie
The fondness of the mass audience for heroes and brave men have been known since antiquity, but few can compare with the potential embedded in Superman, which, like a phoenix, is again back on the big screen, despite the deafening cash failure of its last installment.
There were TV shows …
Shutter (R, 2004) movie
I was under the impression that this film was very much like all the other PG-13 “Ringu” type films. In many ways it most certainly is. However, this film (which I believe takes place in Thailand) was quite suspenseful and intriguing. The movie takes off …
Big Daddy (movie)
In Big Daddy, Adam Sandler’s character, Sonny, is dumped with Julian, his friend’s child. Julian, the little boy, has a lisp and needs lots of attention. Sonny is definitely not a parent, he�s just a guy who tip toes through his life. Sonny really doesn’t have much going on, …
The Rival movie
Once again, I found myself watching a movie on the Lifetime movie network last night and found myself enjoying it.
The film “The Rival” was one that really turned out to be much more interesting than I thought it would. From the previews, I figured it was going to be …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …
X-Men
I am a big Marvel Comics fan so when there was stories about X-Men being made into a movie, I was thrilled. Unforunately, it took some years for the first movie to come out and I was not happy. I have almost all of the X-Men comics books and …
Cats movie
The classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, originally based on a novel by T.S. Eliot, here transferred to the cinema.
I think it was a very colorful thing to look at, and some of the songs are unforgettable, but overall I think this felt more like a filmed musical stage …
The Boy 2016 Horror Movie
The Boy is about a nanny, Greta, who is hired to take care of a boy while the elderly couple goes on a trip. Greta is played by Lauren Cohan, actress from The Walking Dead, so initially I was pretty excited to watch this movie. Unfortunately, It ended up being …
A Smoky Mountain Christmas movie
For what it is, A Smoky Mountain Christmas is a decent holiday movie. Dolly Parton stars as a successful country singer (not a big stretch here) who takes off for the mountains for some peace and relaxation.
In the smoky mountains, Lorna Davis (Parton) discovers a group of children …
It’s Your Move Movie
A young couple plans to move to a new home, but the company that is supposed to transport their belongings aren’t really as reliable as they would have hoped.

“Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides” (2011 Film)
I can honestly say that the fourth film of the “Pirates of Carribean” series worried me. The first three films were remarkably casted, well laid out, and left me laughing and one the edge of my seat with suspence. However, after seeing the fourth film in theaters, “Pirates of …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an attracting and unique movie with a brilliant idea to combine cartoon and real world. It is not a movie about Bugs Bunny and Brendan Fraser while they act in the same scene (Looney Tunes:Back in Action) but about a hole where every cartoon who enters …
Who’s You Caddy? (2007)

20th Century Women (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …
Bloodrayne
Bloodrayne is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time and considering how many movies I watch a year, that’s saying a lot. The only reason I watched the movie is because it had Billy Zane in it and I’ve been a fan of his since …

The Pool
Yesterday, my boyfriend brought along this DVD title, The Pool which he got stashed at his home and my siblings were getting a freak movie treat yesterday. This is actually something like a teen flick, but then again, I would still label it as a ‘Psycho’ movie. To …
The Hurt Locker movie
It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …
