Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …

Movie Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
The first disappointing Waldemar film of Paul Naschy’s career was the victim of a haphazard production schedule that saw much of the film never actually shot and padded footage from Marca Del Hombre Lobo inserted.
Pretty standard fare has Waldemar bitten by the yeti (!) …
Movie Wild Hogs
One of my favorite comedy movies. I watched this movie I would say about a month ago. It’s a great comedy movie. My favorite thing about the movie is that it keeps you laughing throughout the entire thing. They do fall down a lot on their motorcycles but they …
How to Survive a Plague documentary
There was a period in the history of health care prior to the 1996 discovery of a better drug to fight AIDS wherein matters did not look at all promising or favorable for the person who contracted the disease. At that time: there seemed to be nothing …
Phone Booth (starring Colin Farrell)
Have you ever heard the saying one phone call is all it takes to make a difference? Well, I watched Phone Booth before and this pretty much sums up what I just said. Watching this movie before, after the show had ended, I thought that it is pretty …
The Ant Bully Movie
When the movie The Ant Bully first came out on DVD, I kind of resisted watching it because I didn’t think it was going to be any good. However, my daughter recently had a family movie night at her school (which was actually a seminar about bullying but they …
50 First Dates
I’m not a big fan of Adam Sandler but I like Drew Barrymore that’s why I saw the movie 50 First Dates. I didn’t expect that I would like the movie because I never liked Adam Sandler’s style of comedy. I think he’s corny. But surprisingly I liked it …
Film Family Plot
Alfred Hitchcock’s final film, Family Plot is a gentle little final film for one of cinema’s greatest filmmaker’s ever. It is thrilling but it is not one of his trips into the world of stark horror that he delved into with Psycho or the Birds.
And this suits him just …

Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …
It! The Terror From Beyond Space, MGM/UA Midnite Movies DVD
It! The Terror From Beyond Space is one of several science fiction movies made in the Fifties that have become archetypes of future SF blockbusters, most notably Alien.
Produced in 1958, the movie takes place in the future, 1973 to be precise! The first manned trip to Mars …
Memoirs of a geisha
If there is one book on a cultural setting that I like the most, it would be “Memoirs of a Geisha” by Arthur Golden. Aside from its compelling story, its precise-to-detail description of the flower and willow world in Japan is superb.
“Memoirs of a Geisha” is set in 1930’s …
American History X
I am reviewing the movie, American History X, starring Edward Norton. This movie is about racism, hatred, forgiveness, and beliefs. Edward Norton plays Derek, a neo nazi who believes that all African Americans are trash, dirty, and trouble. He thinks that they are nothing but trouble, and …
Happy feet movie
I first watched this movie was on dvd with my little cousins. It was quite interesting with the nice dancing and singing. The storyline was pretty good. One thing I didn’t really understand was how Mumble, the main penguin went back his own specific colony of penguins, but I …

The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …

Alot Like Love (2005 movie)
Love is a complicated matter…and this movie shows just how complicated it can get. Mixed signals…lack of communication…looking for love in all the wrong places…having to make terrible decisions…the list goes on and on. This movie would have done much better if it was just a drama. The comedy …
Movie: Sukob
Another movie I am going to comment on was the movie of again, Kris Aquino. But this time, she was with Claudine Baretto, the former teleserye queen of Filipino TV. I remember watching this movie with friends (officemates) when it was still showing in the cinemas. Well it was …
I am sam movie
I know that reviewers were critical of this movie but after watching it I do not agree with them. I truly loved this movie. To me it is so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time I just couldn’t help but love it. The characters played their roles so …
Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
The Wolf of Wall Street (movie)
I saw the trailer for the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” a little earlier than most people who I know, and even though I figured from the start that it would gain some amount of attention, it just didn’t interest me enough for me to make future plans …
The Butler (2013 Film)
The Butler is one of those movies that I like to call a quiet movie that’s meant for winding down. You don’t turn on this kind of movie, ready for action or something intensely graphic to happen. It’s a movie that tells you a deep rooted story. My review …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
BASEketball
This is a truly hillarious movie, directed by Matt stone and try parker, makers of south park.
The story about two friends who invent a hybrid sport mixing baseball and basketball.
Lots of humor which will keep you laughing from start to finish, not stupid humor but made for well designed …
Supernatural
I love sci fi or horror movies. Supernatural is one of those movies. I was scared to watch them alone at first, then I found out that they don’t tell about ghosts or anything scary like that. They tell stories about demons and devils. Ghosts …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The 2005 film “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” came as a conclusion to an event in movie history, where the story came to an end and left me somehow wanting to know more. The film was not only graphically genius, suspenseful and sad, but it was one that …
The Weather Underground documentary

Dr. Strangelove (1964 Classic Film)
Quite frankly, I have no intention to watch other Stanley Kubrick (otherwise known as the greatest American filmmaker ever) films after being disappointed by 2001: A Space Odyssey. I watched that film after the release of Nolan’s Interstellar two years ago and I never got the correlation among the two. …
Pathfinder
Pathfinder with Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, and Russell Means.
The location was somewhere in North America 500 years before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The brutal Viking warriors came from Scandinavia looking for slaves. It is a simple story, but I found it to …

Cars - Entertainment for the whole family.
This isn’t just a movie for the boys of the house. I found myself routing for Rookie Lightning McCool, the adorable red car in this new Disney movie. He goes through some tough times and true to Disney format learns valuable lessons. After watching it for …
Employee of the Month
Employee Of The Month with Matt Dillon, Steve Zahn, and Christina Applegate.
This movie was actually two movies. What I mean is that for the first half we are watching our hero Matt Dillon go through the worst day of his life. In the …

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) Movie
This is the third installation of the four-part series of the Twilight Saga, and it is far the most suspenseful and most action-packed yet! I had watched this movie twice in a span of 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The book is quite different from the …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
SM Marikina Mall Digital Theater
I was blown away when I watched Up last weekend at the SM Marikina Cinema 1 Digital Theater. This was my first time in SM Marikina’s digital theater. I have never been too impressed with the theaters of the other SM malls because it has never been of particularly …
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 movie - American version)
Relative newcomer Rooney Mara perfectly inhabits the role of Lisabeth Salander, the namesake character in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” David Fincher’s adaptation of the wildly popular novel and 2009 Swedish movie is a wonderfully-cast atmospheric crime drama that will make even the bold squeamish.
I’m very glad Fincher …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
Mr. Bean goes on vacation after winning a raffle. That is the plot of the movie plain and simple and in a nutshell as anyone could have it. All this movie does is takes us on the road of adventure that Mr. Bean goes through from place to place. …
