Heartbreak Kid DVD
Any move with Ben Stiller is bound to be funny and the Heartbreak Kid is no exception. And now you can bring it home on DVD and enjoy it whenever you want. But it is definitely an adult comedy, rated R, so if you can make sure the kids …
Movie The Unborn
At first I really wanted to see this film. The previews looked incredibly scary. And as usual the powers that be put the scariest, most disturbing scenes in the actual trailer. I cannot believe that I actually was going to visit the movie theater …
Epic Movie-
The movie I am about to review is called Epic Movie released in 2007.Yes,it is literally called Epic Movie!!. The reason for this strange title is that the movie is a spoof of a couple of popular and high grossing movies that came out the time of the movie.Spoofs …

Movie: Scooby Doo and the Monster of Mexico
Since my daughter is now in school again, I don’t get to spend as much time with her during the week. So, last night, since my wife was too tired after work to have a family movie night (her and the baby were in bed before 8), I decided …
The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, both the movies and the books. I was disappointed when the film showing was moved to this year but was still excited for the 6th installment of the novel by JK Rowling.
Half Blood Prince revolves around the emergence in power of …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …
The Good German
Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …
Corpse Bride movie
Tim Burton, who directed the cult hit The Nightmare Before Christmas also directed Corpse Bride in 2005. He used a similar style in both movies. Each movie uses puppet animation, and both movies are musicals. The two pictures are very similar in tone and style, with a dark …
Happy Feet Movie
I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …
The Handmaiden (2016 Foreign Film)
I have been longing for this holiday break because my movies watchlist is getting longer and longer. I have more than 50 films to watch out of passion but as soon as the school year starts again next month, I may have trouble watching them all.
Last night I chose to …
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 15
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 15 is a really good episode. It starts out with Janeway and Neelix talking about a talent show. The next thing you know Janeway and Chakotay are in a shuttle craft and they crash land on the surface of the planet they were …
Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone
Well, first off, Evangelion 1.0: You Are Not Alone is part of the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is part of a 4 movie project to reboot the series, shaping the storyline to be easier understood by mainstream audience, as well as adding new characters and the …
The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …
Wreck-It Ralph, movie (2012)
After the numerous video game-related films like Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter, and Double Dragon that were utter disasters, I’m cynical when Hollywood makes a movie involving video games or a movie is based on a noted property. Once in a while, Hollywood will surprise me with a …
Air Force One (1997 movie)
Harrison Ford is the President of the USA. He and his family are hijacked by terrorists on his own private aircraft. Trying to keep his family alive, he manages to take out the attackers without getting himself seriously injured. This movie is one of the best movies ever made…it …
The Hunters (Movie)
was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
Cellular movie
What would you do if you received a phone call from a woman being held hostage? Would you ignore it or simply try to assist her? This is the main topic of the gripping movie “Cellular”. This is a movie were we see the actress, Kim Basinger in one …
From Paris With Love (2010) movie
Haven’t seen John Travolta take to the screen in a film that I have liked lately but this one was pretty entertaining. Nothing special just a good old fashion entertainment action film.
I do like the storyline it is quite interesting, with a twist I did not expect so …
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 …
The Avengers movie
In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …
French Cancan movie filmed 1954
Jean Renoir is without question considered one of the most significant directors of all time. He was engagingly good spirited; and consequently an entertaining personage. Lists of films deserving notice by the Director include: “Rules of the Game” and; “Grand Illusion”. Naturally, the preceding two …
Dying To Tell - Robert Goddard
Goddard narrates this classic story “Dying to Tell”, in his usual mysterious, intrinsic and deep way by creating eccentric characters that evolve the story.
Lance Bradley, lives in the little town called Glastonbury in Somerset. Once he receives a phone call from Rupert Alder’s sister. Rupert was a friend …
Tammy (2014 Film)
Tammy is a comedy film I decided to watch after being persuaded to see it one evening. I tend to enjoy a good laugh, and I had my expectations already set in place. My review will contain spoilers
The movie is a rather goofy movie in my opinion. One that …
Encino Man (1992)
This is the story of prehistoric man, during the ice age; he tries to make a fire to keep both himself and his cave girlfriend warm in the cold times, but as he does this, a cave in buries them both. As the ages pass, we now move to …
8 MM (1999)
I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …
Wedding Crashers movie
I’ve been getting a little burnt out on Owen Wilson comedies so I didn’t know what to think when I finally watched Wedding Crashers for the first time. It was hillarious.
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn make a great team, pretending to be related to the wedding parties so they …
Night Shift movie
I absolutely loved Henry Winkler when he portrayed the Fonze on Happy Days. As a movie star, I think he’s OK in a supporting role. When it comes to carrying a movie, like he did in Night Shift, he’s just not that good.
The idea behind Night Shift was a …
Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
He Knows Youre Alone (movie)
I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …
“Star Wars: Phantom Menace” (1999 Film)
The 1999 film “Star Wars: Phantom Menace” was just as wonderful as the other films before it. I didn’t think that I would be a fan of the Star Wars movies, but each time I watch a new one I find myself falling in love with them all over …
Enough Movie
This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …
Movie Superman
I was watching some movies on TV last night and came across Superman. I hadn’t seen it in a while so I figured I would give the movie (which is almost as old as I am) another chance.
It is still as good today as it was then; which is …
Halloween H2O, movie
Jamie Lee Curtis reprises the role that brought her into the mainstream and solidified her as one of, if not the best of, the scream queens. But, unlike her first ventures out as the quiet and reserved Laurie, we see her in full force as a disturbed mother trying …
Spongebob Squarepants - Fear of a Krabby Patty
Both of my daughters, one who is three years old and the other who just turned one, are huge fans of Spongebob and his friends. We have quite the collection of his movies, and Fear of A Krabby Patty is one of them. I personally like to …
FUR
I think Nicole Kidman is the most sensual actress working today. This isn’t just because of her great looks, but because of the way she exudes her emotions. So when I had the opportunity to watch “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” with Kidman playing the famed photographer, …
The Castle of Fu Manchu movie
This is one of the classic Christopher Lee movies, and personally, I think that most people I’ve met who are still interested in some of these classic horror and suspense films either like this movie or hate it. Personally, I appreciated this movie, since I didn’t think that it …
Up (2009) movie
I went to see this movie early June after hearing wonderful things about it. I had previously watched the Pixar’s other movie WALL-E and loved it, so I had great expectations. I figured Up would also have some kind of global message such respecting the environment in WALL-E; why …
Spawn Series
I don’t usually like cartoons. But a friend introduced me to the Spawn animated series. I saw the movie years ago, and didn’t like it. But at the time, I didn’t really have an appreciation for comic book culture. In any case, …
Burlesque movie
I was very excited when I first saw the preview for this movie. I mean really you can’t go wrong when you combine the powerhouse voice of Christina Aguilera and a legend like Cher. I was expecting a spectacular movie, filled with visually stimulating dance routines, costumes, songs, and …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
Fast and Furious directed by Justin Lin
The fourth installment of the Fast and the Furious story-line takes us back to events prior to the events in part 3. Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew are ripping off tankers in the Dominican Republic when Dom gets a feeling the Feds are closing …
Save the Last Dance for me movie
The 2004 Korean Drama “Save the Last Dance for me”, starring Yoo Jin and Ji Sung, is one of my favorite dramas. This was the one which made me start my hallyu craze.
The plot of the drama is not the typical amnesia story. Kang Hyun Woo(Ji Sung) has already …
Cow Belles
If you’re looking for a good movie that gives you a plot that’s a little different than the other movies you’ve seen then Disney’s movie “Cow Belles” is one you’ll want to avoid.
After finally getting to see the entire film, I can say it is good. But, it’s nothing …
Lost in Translation, movie (2003)
Can a goodbye be happy? Not just leaving each other for a “see you soon” time, but a natural parting. When everyone understands that they are saying goodbye to a part of their life, saying goodbye to a piece of themselves, letting go of their love.
One life, halfway through life, …
My Life in Ruins
Although it is, in my opinion, a chick-flick, “My Life in Ruins” is a great, light-hearted movie, and if you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” then you will be sure to enjoy this movie. The writing and acting will not be recognized at the Oscars next year, but …
Suburban Girl
Suburban Girl is a very sweet and funny story and I have a really fun time watching this. Sarah Michelle Gellar can act in romantic comedy roles as well and she’s a very pleasing eye-candy and a fun to watch. She appears to be brunette in this story …
