Movies Reviews
13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
The Hunger Games (Movie)
One of the movies that I have watched over the course of the year, is “The Hunger Games”, starring actors Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. The thing that really compelled me to go and see the movie was the books, as I found the whole series enthralling. The trailer …
Target movie
An early film with Matt Dillon who plays a young man very disappointed with his father who he regards as a weakling. One day his mother is kidnapped and the father quickly changes into a very brave man and decisionmaker. Perhaps his father isn’t the kind of person believed …
School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
Lars and the Real Girl
I went on the Internet the other day seeking a list of the top 25 movies from the year 2007, and on that list was a movie that caught my eye entitled Lars and the Real Girl. I remembered vaguely seeing a preview for this movie, but really went …
Erin Brokovich Movie
I saw this movie twice and was very impressed by Julia Roberts’ acting. She isn’t one of my favorites, which I don’t think is her fault. Since ‘Pretty Woman’ she has been a bit typecast. Most movies I’ve seen her in have been very light and …
It Follows, horror movie
Within the last few years the genre of “Horror” for me seems to repeat the same mundane patterns of predictability and flatness. However, “It follows” is a gripping and tense horror flick that will leave you shaken, yet wanting more.
With barely anytime to get comfy, director (David Robert Mitchell) has …
Cadillac Records (R, 2008)
After hearing the hype about Beyonce being in this movie, I can’t say that I was itching to go see it. With all due respect to Beyonce, her acting abilities have left a little to be desired. In any event, I was surprised to realize that …
Movie Cars
Cars is a rip-roarin’ ride of animated fun. It is an incredibly wonderful film about a race car with an attitude and no friends as a result. All Lightning McQueen wants is to win the big race and be the champion. He believes he’s the best …
300 film
“300″ is a 2007 movie based on Frank Miller’s awesome graphic novel showcasing the Battle of Thermopylae between the Spartans and the massive army of King Xerxes. It is ultra violent, ultra stylized and ultra intense. It is also ultra awesome.
Pros: Where do I start? …
“The Avengers” (2012 film)
I went to see “The Avengers” with mixed expectations-I saw it in 3D, and was prepared for lots of the visual spectacle you would hope for from a superhero blockbuster. But the last film I saw in 3D was “Avatar,” which is a case study on how stunning visuals …
Matrix the movie
Matrix the first part, of course, called just The Matrix is my favourite move, later the move becomes just to naive and simple to me, we all knew how ill the tird part finish, didn’t we?
The first part is full of the very memorable scenes like that one with …
Keeping the Faith movie
As far as movies are concerned, I’m not really sure if Keeping the Faith is a good one or just slightly above average. I’m leaning toward the latter but feel Ben Stiller carries it a bit further than that. Without him, I don’t think this movie would be even …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …
The Rum Diary (2011 film)
This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …
Click
For what is supposed to be a comedy I suggest you bring a box of tissues.
A desire Im sure everyone shares is to be able to stop time, or skip through unpleasant events, and even to turn the volume down on life. It is those exact deisres that Click …
Movie: “Stephen King’s It” (1990)
Having read the book multiple times, I was horribly disappointed with the two-part miniseries “It”, aired in 1990 on ABC. There was so much left out; I can’t believe Mr. King even allowed it to be produced.
The plot of the mini-series only loosely follows the plot of the original …
Avatar movie
From the director of Titanic, I did not expect anything lesser than a truly spectacular and touching movie. And even with this high expectation Avatar did not let me down. Avatar is a movie which kept me fully engaged in the theater for every seconds of the movie. In …
The Croods (movie)
There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …
Screwballs, comedy film
Before American Pie was known as a classic there was Screwballs. This movie shaped what we now know as the modern teenage flick, a group of guys making a pact together and trying to follow through during the rest of the movie. A simple movie idea that is full …
Jungle Fever (1991)
This movie is about the fact that love can cross any border and still be strong enough to survive any storm, this is the movie of an African America named Flipper Purify, played by Wesley Snipes, and an Italian American known as Angie Tucci, played by Annabella Sciorra who …
Waking Up in Reno movie
Waking Up in Reno is a quirky movie that was released in 2002 after a long and oft-postponed opening. This is another movie that surprised me with all the difficulties of being released. It had a stellar cast, but for some reason, there were an abundance of …
The Barnyard animated film
The Barnyard is a good animated film, quite entertaining. I watched it just recently and I found it pretty funny. The main character is Odus, an adopted son of a cow. His father is the leader of the barn, keeping things in order, protecting the barn from hyenas, etc …
Little Manhattan Movie
Hands down, this is the sweetest movie ever. Not some sappy chick flick, but a simple romantic comedy.
Kudos to the one who came up with such a cute idea about making a movie about first love. I mean, there are tons of movies out there about first love, but …
Twilight
Before the movie Twilight came into theaters, I heard many preposterous comments about this movie. I even heard these brutal comments about the book, from whom most did not even read. Before I started my grasp on the Twilight Saga, I was confidental about not reading them, knowing what …
Eight Below (movie)
A new movie was released on Monday called “Eight Below”. This is an awesome movie, especially for dog lovers.
The film stars Paul Walker and takes place mainly in Antarctica. When a major storm hits and there is not enough room in the plane to transport the scientists, guides and …
Snowglobe (2007 Film)
Christmas is coming, and ABC Family is already starting with a pre-season start to Christmas shows. “Snowglobe” is an original ABC Family film that is about enjoying your family for the holidays and not trying to make them picture perfect as you think they should be.
This film might seem …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …
The Killer (1989)
Ah Jong (Chow Yun Fat) is a professional killer. On a mission of assassination, he accidentally injures a female singer. The blast from the gun blinded her and Ah Jong’s sense of remorse is great. He vows to assist the now blinded singer with all her medical expenses and …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Nightmare Detective (Movie Review)
Nightmare Detective is part of the Dimension Extreme films and I’ve been slowly working my way through these movies a little at a time. The series is a little similar to the After Dark Horror Fest in that all the movies probably wouldn’t get much of a release without …
Hamlet movie
Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
I had watched the first Transformers movie and enjoyed it, so I was hoping to enjoy its sequel just as much. I usually like movies with Shia LaBeouf, known for his dry sense of humor. However, this movie fell very short of my expectations.
I found LaBeouf’s character Sam …
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017 adventure comedy film)
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 adventure comedy film that it’s a sequel to the 1995 movie Jumanji, based on the children’s book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. The movie is set twenty-one years after the first film, and it follows four teenagers who are …
The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)
The Santa Clause was a great film that I loved as a child and as an adult. And the sequal to this family friendly film titled, “The Santa Clause 2” which came out in 2002 was also just as mesmerizing. In this film, we watch as Santa Clause (Scott …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot
I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about what this show was going to be like before watching the first episode. We have a cast of practically new actors who are playing familiar characters we all know and love, Sarah and John Connor in particular. For those of …
Forbidden Warrior
I first became aware of these movie recently when I was on summer holidays. I had gone to a friend’s house and saw it being aired on television. At first I thought it looked a little interesting so I actually decided to forget about what I had gone there …
The Sixth Sense movie
Even though I watched the movie “The Sixth Sense” when I was about eleven or twelve years old, I can still remember it as though it were just yesterday, since at the time is scared me a little and I thought the twist in the plot was unusual. It …
Movie The Women
I just see “The Women” staring with Meg Ryan(Mary Haines),Annette Bening(Sylvia Fowler),Carrie Fisher and Debra Messing.This movie is about their friendship.They are in high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon,hunting fashion show and a bunch gossip group.First it begin when Silvia go to manicure the women who …
TMNT
I remember being a kid in third grade and absolutely loving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles. They had a good cartoon, (or so I thought at that age) and made a few movies back then and some good money off their merchandising. Now in 2007, the turtle gang …
Total Recall
Total Recall stars Arnold Swartzenhager as Douglas Quaid/ Hauser. It is a movie about a construction worker who wants to go to Mars. He goes to a memory implant company called recall to see about geting an implant vacation of Mars. Then they realize he is really a secret …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
We finally got around to watching the second to last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on New Years Eve.
I still think the first couple movies were the better movies, but this one was better than some of the later films; both when it came …
Hail, Caesar! (2016 Film)
2016 has proven to be a dull year for movies. That’s just my opinion but at this point in time last year, we already got the super amazing action flick Mad Max: Fury Road as well as the state-of-the-art thought-provoking animation flare Inside Out. This year we got an intense …
Mean Girls
In the movie “Mean Girls” we see the actress, Lindsay Lohan learning how to be mean after she starts to get a hard time at school. “Mean Girls” is a good teen movie; however it doesn’t represent the best interpretation from Lindsay Lohan.
“Mean Girls” portraits a situation that really …
Pulp Fiction movie
When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta …
Super Mario World - Fire Sale
Super Mario World - “Fire Sale” is the first episode of the Super Mario World cartoon series that is based off of the Super Mario World video game. The first episode of this cartoon series primarily features Yoshi, who was first introduced in the SNES video game, so it …
