The Host, movie
Whoever thought having the protagonist of a movie spend most of her time talking inside her own head for the better part of 2 hours and get away with it, was painstakingly wrong.

Big Hero 6 - animated movie (2014)
Big Hero 6 is one of the best animated movies I’ve seen in recent times. It’s actually a movie based on the superhero team ‘Big Hero 6′ from a Marvel Comic. From start to finish this movie is hilarious; the simple humour employed is effective. Often the background scenes such …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …
National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
Titanic movie
The movie Titanic was very popular in those days. Wow this movie is really great and excellent. I don’t think that there will be any one will ever make any other movie like this. All the scenes in this movie were looking so real and the …

I have watched this movie at least a dozen times. I first saw it in the movie theaters with my room mate during my freshman year of college. I went in there really not sure what to expect because the book itself I actually read. It was written by …

Man on Wire movie
There is just no words to sum up how I feel upon watching Man on Wire. It is such a gripping documentary type of movie that tells about this man by the name of Phillippe Petit whom literally walks on wire. He walks between the Two Towers (the …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …

Alice in Wonderland 1951 Movie
Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …

I always …
UHF movie
A complete idiot takes control of a TV station by accident and gets the opportunity to make any broadcasts he wants.
UHF is one of those comedies from the 1980s that hasn’t really survived until these days. When it first came out people regarded it as very funny and original, …
Movie 50 First Dates
I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.
“50 First Dates” includes some …
North & South movie
Ah (Sigh!), North & South. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. That would actually be saying a lot considering that first, I haven’t seen one (a beautiful movie, that is) in such a long time; and second, I rarely dub a movie as beautiful if …
Circus Movie
Charlie Chaplin’s Circus is not one of the comedy master’s most famous films, but it is one of my personal favorites. The story is very simple: the tramp (Chaplin) comes to a circus so seek his fortune. While there the most unlikely and crazy adventures take place and I …
Movie : Quest for Camelot
We had a family movie night on Friday night; just me, the wife and the kids. Since I wanted something suitable for everyone, I looked for an animated family movie to watch. I ended up with Quest for Camelot.
This movie was better than expected. It was about a young …

Delta Farce
This movie wasn’t all that good. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie but nothing was really funny. Nothing in the film made me laugh. Overall it was alright but I didn’t really like it. I didn’t care for it. I wouldn’t recommend it to hardly …

The Greatest Game Ever Played Movie
So the “The Greatest Game Ever Played” got a 7/10 in my book. I’ll let you know why. First, the movie is based around an inspired golfer, who is poor, and is discriminated for being such by the country club. His dad doesn’t support his dreams of becoming a …
Way of War
OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …
Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
Ok so I rented another Hellraiser hoping that it would be somewhat related to what the original movie was about. Unfortunately it wasn’t, but oddly enough it did keep my interest enough to not fast forward through.
The plot centers around Chelsea, Mike, Allison, and Derrick who …
Transformers Movie
A movie made in the likeness of a toy brand.

Notting Hill with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts
This movie is set in Notting Hill, and is the story of a bookstore owner who meets and falls in love with a movie star(Julia Roberts). The movie star also feels the same way, but they have a typical set of problems between the media and his goofy roommate.

Are We Done Yet movie
As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …
David Copperfield, 1999
This 1999 BBC movie is an excellent adaptation of “David Copperfield,” a novel that Charles Dickens referred to as his “favorite child” amongst his other works.

Ogre movie
We ended up watching a DVD last night of a movie that originally aired on the Sci Fi Channel last year; Ogre.

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. 2003 science fiction film
Here we have the second time in Godzilla movie history that a Godzilla movie was made to be a direct sequel to the previous movie made. The funny thing is that both times, Mechagodzilla was involved. At the end of the Showa Series, which lasted from the mid 1950’s …
