These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …

I am reviewing the movie, The Blue Butterfly. This movie is about a terminal little boy who wants to go to the rainforest to catch the blue butterfly. His idol is a broken, emotionally drained, insect man who takes a trip into the forest every year. Pete is …

A film based on the manga series called Evangelion. The story of this series is very, very complicated if you don’t know it well, and this film is definitely made for fans only, which is a shame I think because it has a lot of interesting qualities. The audience …

Cool World, hmmm, what is ther that can be said about this movie that is any way, shape or form a good thing? This movie came to us as viewers with such high expectations and with a new thought of actually combining the human element with animation. I was …

I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …

I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …

Painfully powerfull. In a world where special effects have replaced good old fashion acting and writing this movie stands alone and swings at the audiences mind. Knocking us back to a world where good old fashion sweat and curage rule!
The timing of this thriller holds the audience suspended …

Halloween Resurrection is what some people consider to be the end of the horror movie series. Technically they are right since it was the last film to feature the serial killer Michael Meyers from that particular series. Since then though we have seen Rob Zombie do his own version …

I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

It seems I waited an age to watch the movie Kill Your Darlings. I ignored it a bunch of times while it was being aired on cable television channels because I always had this notion that it wouldn’t be very interesting. It was only after watching it last night, that …

This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.

Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …

The Quick and the Dead stars Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, and Gary Sinise.
A must see western principally due to the nonstop action and great music. Over the years the quality that makes a western standout has always been memorable music and …

This 1993 movie, Cool Runnings, was another huge surprise to me. I just happen to watch it one day on cable when a fluke of going up and down the channels landed on it. I became hooked on it, and now it’s a movie I enjoy watching …

Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …

The film was completed in 2000, and finally released in 2003, written and directed by Rob Zombie and starring Bill Mosley, Sherri Moon Zombie, and other lesser known actors. The film is extremely dark, violent, and shocking, it’s not to many movies that make a person feel sick and …

Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …

Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …

The cars movie is a great movie for the whole family. It teaches a lesson and is very entertaining
The cars movie has very nice graphics. Disney did extremely well while making this movie.
This movie is great for kids, my little brother watches it every morning and loves it every …

I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …

I first time I heard of Roman Polanski’s The Tenant was from my mother who had ventured into a movie theater many years ago with a friend who had an affinity for avant-garde fair.

Bad Dreams is one of my favorite, unabashedly guilty pleasures from the late eighties. Starring Jennifer Rubin, Dean Cameron and the chick who does the voice for Bart Simpson this movie is eighties schlock horror at its best. I remember seeing this movie late one night on …

Halloween is coming up in about a month and, because of that, I ended up putting a movie on my Netflix list for my daughter “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.”
Sure, I could probably find this movie at any given time on several television stations closer to the holiday. …

“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” came out back when I was still in high school. I heard the name mentioned a couple of times, but I never actually took the time out to either search for what it was about or even watch the trailer. I remember one or two …

The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

Have you guys ever watched the movie Deep Blue Sea which I think was ‘hot’ during 1999..? I caught it on TV the other day and comparing this to Jaws, both have their own ‘uniqueness’, sense of overwhelming danger and suspense.
There is also LL Cool J in …

Here is the story of a man who is at the top, falls and then rises to the top again. This is a great movie.
I love this story. When I initially saw it in the dollar discount movie theatre, I wasn’t sure what I …

I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …

An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …

Most people know what Netflix is, but for those that don’t it’s a business that lets people rent movies by mail. It only works if you have a computer and internet access. How Netflix works is that you sign up with them online, they have different memberships to choose …

I must say that I am confused when I watched Noel, the DVD movie. Luckily, I caught this on DVD instead of going to the movies for it. Starring Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and some other casts, this movie is about miracles and that …

“Children of a Lesser God” is a great, touching movie with dramatic and romantic moments mixed up together in a very emotional script. One of the assets of this movie is that it has two main great actors William Hurt and Marlee Martin. This movie was nominated …

First off, I did not hate this movie. It was a somewhat entertaining movie with nice special effects, great battle sequences, and acting, when not overblown or stale, was watchable. What bothered me was at the beginning of the movie, we are promised with text on the …

WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …

For me, it is hard to see what the problem is or was with Fantasia. Most critics hated it back in 1940, especially classical music enthusiasts. They felt Disney animators butchered a beautiful art form. How naive is that? The animation was fantastic and, I felt, only …
