Cannibal Holocaust
This is one of the most controversial movies of all time for its animal cruelty and scenes of extreme violence and realistic gore. The movie was released around 1980 and this could possibly be an excuse for some of the low quality and bad acting, but this goes beyond …
Meatballs
This movie was a perfect vehicle for Bill Murray, in the same sense as Caddyshack and What About Bob? Were. The only difference between those two films and Meatballs is that Meatballs had him in a more serious role, surrounded by goofballs who take up where Murray would have …
Monster VS Alien
Fooled by the thriller of monster vs alien that i have watched in youtube[dot]com, i found that this movie is not that good as everyone predicted. When the first time i watched the thriller i can only laugh, laugh, and laugh (that was because BOB scene when he get …

Carandiru (R, 2004) movie
It’s amazing how much of a learning tool Netflix has been for me. I rented “Carandiru” without ever hearing about the inmate/police riot that occurred in October of 1992. I know that I wasn’t really up on world events during that time. But knowing …

Step Up 2: The Streets
Although it is the sequel of “Step Up”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” offers a different type of movie from the original version. I expected the story to be based again, like in the original movie, at the Maryland School of Arts, however the action takes place else where …
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
This is a great family movie and I really recommend it if you don’t know what to watch with your children. The movie is funny but also rather sentimental; it is about parental love, but also about man’s happiness. We saw Larry Daily becoming a night guard at a …

Sabrina
Harrison Ford is mostly known for his involvement in bringing to the big screen the “Indiana Jones” block busters; however I much prefer him in the movie “Sabrina” where Ford shows of his unique charm rather than his Indiana Jones skills. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
The Air I Breathe
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …
Green Room (2016 horror film)
After watching The Witch last month, my anticipation in watching horror films grew more and more, not because I thought The Witch was a good film but because I realized, not all horrors are scary anyway. The Witch was very lackluster in providing the thrills, “relying on just the visuals …

The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2, movie
While I was wary of rebooting the Spider-Man franchise so soon after Sam Raimi’s franchise was launched, I actually rather enjoyed ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. It had a strong cast and did enough to stand on its own as opposed to just feeling like a carbon copy of the …
Back to the Future DVD(the Trilogy)

Scary Movie IV

Rosewater (drama movie)
When I heard that John Stewart was writing and directing a movie, I was eager to see it. I assumed that since he’s a comedian and media critic the movie would be a comedy of sorts. I guess I should have probably read up on the movie first or at …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie

To be completely honest before I had watched this movie the trailer was so disappointing that I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I just happened to want to watch a movie and came across it. However this was one of those movies that just really got to me. …
