Bug
I really get the wrong idea when I first watch Bug. I thought it is some kind of a horror movie or something, but when in the end I realized that this story is something like the genre of ‘art movie’, displaying about life, people and their characters, …
Deep Impact
I’m not really big into Science Fiction, but this movie rocks! I could never get sick of seeing it. In case you haven’t ever seen it, here’s the basic plot. It’s about an asteroid that has a course headed straight for Earth. The part I find most interesting about …
Hudson Hawk movie
Starring the ever lovable Bruce Willis…an expert thief just released from prison is force to restart his profession. Danny Aiello co-stars as his trusty sidekick friend. The plot of this film is well done as it does not fail to entertain and captivate its audience. An all star cast …

Children Of Men is a film which takes place in London and is set in the future in quite an apocalyptic situation. I don’t remember the exact year of this movie but I do recall that in the film it has been 18 years since the last baby has …
My Best Friend’s Wedding
I would hear about the movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding” for a very long time throughout my time in high school, but I never got a chance to watch it as I rarely would see it on cable television. I didn’t know it was a romance movie at the …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …
Movie: You’ve Got Mail
“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …
Surf’s Up (2007) movie
One of the best animation movies of all time, and certainly the best from Sony Animation, Surf’s Up was funny, clever, and perfectly edited. The voices matched the characters brilliantly, and the characters themselves were a hilariously mixed and matched. Some of the dialog was truly inspired, …
“Elf” (2003 Film)
Will Ferrell is a very funny actor who I have seen in many movies and really enjoyed watching. One movie he stars in in-particular is the holiday movie “Elf” which came out in 2003. In this film, he plays a human named Buddy who was raised by elves and …
Fifty Shades of Grey - Movie (2015)
This is a movie where I feel people will have mixed emotions about. Either they will find it really entertaining or very disturbing. For me personally, I found it to be a not-so thrilling movie as the story isn’t much for me, however I wasn’t disturbed. Having read the Fifty …

Chak De India, a Hindi movie starring Shah Rukh Khan is about Indian Women’s Hockey Team based on the real life story of Mr. Negi an Indian Hockey player and coach. It was released last month in India. Before I went to see the movie I had few …

Although losing out on the most prestigious award at the annual ceremony, two of the films cast walked away with Oscars of their own for their fantastic …
Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …
Diary of the Dead, horror film
George A. Romero is known for his Dead series. When Romero has nobody pressuring him with his films the finished product is usually amazing. With nobody breathing down his neck with his fifth Dead movie will long time fans find a reason to adventure with the living dead again? …
Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).
However, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film.
Tom Selleck is awesome in this movie as his character, Quigley takes on an Australian Land Baron …
Thirteen Ghost’s (2001 Film)
The 2001 film Thirteen Ghosts does wonders if you are looking to be scared of things that go bump in the night, or the things you can’t see that go bump in the night. But other than the scary ghost that left me wondering if I was truly alone, …

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
James Cameron’s Avatar 2010 Movie
Avatar is a movie directed by James Cameron, it is about a crippled Marine named Jake Sully, who in the distant future, travels to the planet of Pandora where the military is trying to drive out the Na’vi, in order to an element called Unobtainium.

Return of the King movie
I am reviewing the last installment of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings series, The Return of the King, which was released around 2003. This is by far my favorite in the series. This movie focuses on Frodo’s continuous battle with the ring’s power on him, the power of …
Bayaning 3rd World
I have seen in a film viewing a movie whose attempt is to fully make its viewer understand not only the life and works of Rizal, a Philippine National Hero, but also to people who watches the movie how difficult it was to make a movie out of a …

Wild Wild West
This is a most confusing film with Will Smith that combines old western style with a modern kind of tecnique and scenery. The contrast between these to is barely watchable, and regarding Smith’s performance, I don’t think he really fits in this kind of film.
It’s shocking that this was …
Dracula Untold, movie (2014)
Dracula Untold is a dark fantasy action film that deals with the origins of Count Dracula, the famous character from Brom Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula. This movie is laced with action and bits of horror throughout. It’s not a perfect movie but as far as action movies go, it pays …
Iron Man (2008)
Director: Jon Favreau. Featuring : Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges.
Most definitely a good movie to watch. My friend had convinced me go and see it. I was hesitant because I thought it was going to be a kids’ movie, which I suppose it was meant to be, …
The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …

The Hunt for Red October, directed by John McTiernan is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was March 2, 1990 for United States audience.

Gone Girl (psychological thriller movie)
Gone Girl certainly was not at the top of my list of movies to watch since I heard that the actors Tyler Perry and Ben Affleck would be playing a major role in it. For one it sounded like a terrible combination because I’ve always thought that Ben Affleck came …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
The Last Man on Earth
The Last Man on Earth is an old black and white movie based on the Richard Matheson short story “I Am Legend” as is the Will Smith movie by the same name. Seeing the movies together is a completely odd experience because both are completely different. In this movie …
The Merchant of Venice Movie
We have watched the movie Merchant of Venice when we were assigned to do a role play for our presentation when we were in college.
The story started when Bassario asked his friend Antonio who was a merchant to lend him money for him to be able to court the …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Happy Face Murders
Just by looking on the title of the film, one can be able to tell that it is not something to be taken seriouly like a normal thriller or suspense movie would. However, when I first saw the movie was when I was over my relative’s house one Saurday …
Ice Princess
Some people do have talent but they don’t have the means. Others do have the means but they simply don’t have talent. This is the main storyline of “The Ice Princess” featuring the actress, Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in her on screen main role as …
Chicago (2002) movie
If you liked the film Moulin Rouge, which was released around the same period of time in which the movie “Chicago” was released, then you might just like the movie “Chicago”. I was eager to watch it when I saw it advertising since first of all, I didn’t know …

White Noise movie
White Noise is yet another scary movie that wasn’t so scary. The movie is about people who try to contact ghosts using EVP. I mean some small parts of the movie were actually scary. But I thought most, of the movie was not scary at all. So as I was …
Gary Busey
I always watch movies and I have many actors to appreciate each time.
Most people would express their admiration to actors who are also admired by many and usually renowned worldwide. But I would like to let people know that I appreciate Mr. Gary Busey who played the role …

Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief : A Movie

The creation of Percy JAckson’s character …
Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol 6
I have no trouble admitting this: I am a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, and I have been ever since I was a kid, watching them on Saturday mornings. But then, as I got older, I discovered that there were certain cartoons in the Warner Bros. library that …

This Must Be the Place (2011 film by Paolo Sorrentino)
“This Must Be the Place” by director Paolo Sorrentino is not a perfect movie. However, it is damn well close to being one.
Be cautious though, don’t expect too much of it. It’s not exactly filled with Oscar winning materials. It is more of a cult film, and it’s superb way …
Movie: Pretty in Pink
Synopsis: A poor high school teenager falls in love with a boy from a wealthy family and has to deal with prejudices that are the result of her upbringing.
What I liked about this movie: This film has been out for a long time and this was the first time …
Bubble Boy
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Bubble Boy. But, after seeing it today, I can remember why I loved it so much.
What is better than a tale about a boy who is forced to live his life in a bubble because he doesn’t have an immune …
Christine
I’ve never taken the time to read the Stephen King book Christine but finally got around to watching the movie last night. Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
The film, which is about a living car and a teenaged boy’s obsession over it, is a bit drawn out and takes a …
