That Touch of Mink movie
From 1962, That Touch of Mink pairs Doris Day with the debonair Cary Grant. For me, this has always been somewhat of an odd couple, but it made for a good motion picture, never the less. There certainly are a lot of reasons to enjoy this entertaining …
Kingdom of Heaven (2005 film)
A direct cause and effect product of my personal favorite film of all times Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven takes us where history of the Middle Ages has always talked about-the Crusades. It is a film that inspired me for the heroic part of that time’s history.
…
The Benchwarmers
One of my favorite artist is Rob Schneider. Well aside from the fact that he is half Filipino, I consider him as one of the best comedian in Hollywood.
I’ve first watched the movie 3 months ago, I just rented a DVD but it was absolutely ludicrous, we (me and …
Finding Nemo
One of my daughter’s favorite all time movie is Finding Nemo. She was obsessed with Nemo for such a long time. I enjoyed watching this movie with her because it was a classic. Anything that is made by Disney or Disney Pixar is such a great …
X-Men Movie
X-Men was an excellent movie if you went with no expectations and had never seen the cartoon or read the comic. However, they changed a lot from both comic and show in the movie and after seeing the movie for the first time, I was infuriated at how they …
Ridgmar Movie Tavern
While searching the internet one day to see if there were cheaper movie theatres in my city that I didn’t know about. I came upon Ridgmar Movie Tavern. I had seen this place and drove by it many times but had never went in.
I decided to give Ridgmar …
Mighty Ducks
I was watching movies last night on TV (the baby had a late night) and came across Mighty Ducks. God, I hate that movie and regret not being able to get the remote to change the channel.
When it first came out, I was in college near Minnesota and can …
Murder with Music movie
From 1941, Murder with Music was all black film about a woman with a lot of suitors. The whole hype about the movie is that someone gets killed, but that murder actually happens so late that I’m not sure I even cared.
Early on, and this is what I …
The Bank Job, British crime film
Certain genres of movies never seem to advance too much. Crime is that one genre that tends to follow the same path, get a bunch of people and rob a bank. The Bank Job follows this tiresome formula but for some reason it is more entertaining than half the …
7 Mummies
Hey, I like monster movies as much as the next person. And, it’s rare to find a good mummy movie. So, when I had a chance to watch the film 7 Mummies, I figured I would give it a try.
Wow, was I disappointed.
The problem with this movie, which is …
Looney Toons: Back in Action- the movie
I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …
“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …

The Nanny Diaries
Annie has just graduated from college with a degree in business, but her first job interview at a bank turns out to be a disaster. Perhaps it is because business is not really her thing, Annie actually dreams to be an anthropologist � an idea her mother scoffs at. …
Disney’s Cinderella
If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …
One Hour Photo- Movie
One Hour Photo is a very suspenseful and disturbing movie starring Robin Williams in one of his rare non-comedic roles. Robin Williams plays a lonely and quiet clerk who works at a department store developing photographs from film customers drop off. This movie takes place before digital cameras were …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
I am Legend
I watched this movie a few hours ago.The story is apocalyptic.It all starts three years back of the actual events,in a TV interview with a doctor,who apparently cured cancer by mutating the measles virus.When the interview is over,the ‘present’ starts.New York,desolate,with overgrown fauna,lions and dears jumping around..
Almost all planet …
“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …
Get Smart movie
At first I was a bit skeptical about this movie. The trailer seems funny and exciting, but most boring movies do. So when I went to the cinema with my sister to watch something (Hancock excluded because she wanted to watch it with her bf) I have no other …
Liar Liar
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Jim Carey film Liar Liar and, whene it was on one of our movies channels today, I decided to watch it again.
Somehow, it’s not quite as funny as I remember it being.
The movie does have an interesting premise, Carey plays …
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 …
Inception movie
Oh. My. God. If only I could write this review in caps, I would have wholeheartedly done so just to stress how freaking amazing this movie is.
From someone who watched the likes of Rashomon to My Favorite Martian on a daily rotating basis, I sadly found myself living …
Superintelligence, movie (2020)
Mid-life soft comedies are a brand that Melissa McCarthy shaped and maintains to this day. At McCarthy’s instigation, as well as that of director Ben Falcone (who, by the way, is Melissa McCarthy’s husband), such films as “Big Boss” and “The Soul of the Company” appeared.
Mid-life soft …
The Marsh (R, 2006) movie
If you’re thinking about renting a rollercoaster ride of a film, look elsewhere other than “The Marsh.” No offense to the award-winning Forrest Whitaker, or the equally winsome Gabrielle Anwar. In fact, I can’t even say that I didn’t enjoy this movie. …
Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Transformers, Michael Bay Movie

Robot nation eventually split, there are good and they call themselves Autobots under the leadership Optimus Prime while the insurgents known by the name Decepticon under the leadership Megatron, who’s all …
Cloverfield, movie directed by Matt Reeves
Cloverfield is a borderline apocalyptic love story that tells the tale of a group of friends who are at a surprise party and find themselves amidst a group of man eating spiders that are destroying the tri state area.
The movie is told like a home film with the actors …
Final Destination movie
There are very few thrillers out there that scare me, this is definitely one of them.
The makers of this movie did a great job coming up with an original concept that you just don’t see in Hollywood any more. What could be scarier than knowing Death is out to …
Rent movie
I was still in High School when the Broadway musical Rent became a success. I remember asking for the soundtrack for Christmas. It was one musical that I had always wanted to see but never got the opportunity to. Of course when I heard that Sony Pictures was bringing …
Watch Berserk Now! (anime)
And, the top pick of over 100 anime series is…
DUNN DUNN DUNN…!
Berserk.
Do you like action?
Great art?
Unpredictable plots?
This is it.
So, you might have guessed, but a hobby of mine is watching rare and mainstream anime. I came across it by accident. Picked it up on a rainy day and …
Storm of the Century by Stephen King
Have you guys ever watched Storm of the Century by Stephen King before? It is one of Stephen King’s movies and I watched this sometime back. Now, any story from Stephen King will always be laced with mystery and wonderment and sometimes the characters are being developed quite …
Secretariat movie
Secretariat stars Diane Lane and John Malkovich as well as several other actors and actresses. It is a Disney movie about the great racehorse Secretariat, and the people who stood behind him and trained him to win the Triple Crown and become one of the most famous racehorses ever …
The Man in the Iron Mask Movie (1998)
When I think about the Three Musketeers, I always remember the movie “The Man in the Iron Mask”. This stars Leonardo DiCaprio(King Louis XIV / Philippe), Jeremy Irons(Aramis), John Malkovich (Athos), Gérard Depardieu (Porthos) and Gabriel Byrne ( D’Artagnan).
This movie portrays the true story of the King of France, …
The Forth Kind film
I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.
The film is based on true events which takes it to a scarier level. The majority of the film is re-enacted however it shows a lot …
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I first watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” when I was about seven years old and I’ve been hooked since. I just watched “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” this evening for about the 50th time.
This movie is a classic for people of all ages. In …
Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke (movie)
The movie Yeh Raaste Hai Pyar Ke released few years back. The film was directed by Deepak Shivdasani. I watched this film on television. I did not like the movie much except for few of its songs. The leading roles of this film have been played Ajay Devgan, Madhuri …

The Wrestler (2008) Movie
I recorded this movie on Sky Plus and then did not watch it for the longest time, until recently. This is because despite the fact that it stars Mickey Rourke - one of my most favourite actors - I did prejudge that, despite all the critics raving about …
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (the movie)
This is the first movie of the Harry Potter series and the best one according to me. In this movie all the characters have been introduced and the magical world makes it first appearance. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) makes his appearance as Harry Potter in this film. Harry Potter …
Imaginary Playmate
I was waiting for my wife to get out of bed Sunday and ended up watching movies on the Lifetime Movie Network; starting with one called Imaginary Playmate.
This movie was OK but reminded me a lot of other movies I’ve seen. Basically, you have a family moving into a …
Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …
Bubble Boy (2001 comedy movie)
The 2001 movie “Bubble Boy” might not have gotten a very good rating in a number of places, but it’s one of those movies that I’ve found I can watch multiple times and never get bored of. It might be silly all around, but I still think that it’s funny …
The Sleuth Movie
“The Sleuth” is one excellent movie starring Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine. Unfortunately, the movie is rather hard to find, libraries and rental places don’t seem to have it. It is available at Amazon, so if you want to see it you’ll have to buy the DVD - which …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey has always been a very cool and talented actor. And I remember after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I feel that this is something like the effect of having a too much technical jargon of a life.
I wouldn’t ever trade my previous memories …
Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Last weekend I went to go see Talladega Nights : The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. I went to go see it on opening night and the theater was packed. My friends and I actually wanted to go to any early show but they were sold out so we had …

New York, September 11, 2001. Today it is just a normal working day for Sergeant John McLoughlin, a police officer from the police division of the New York PA (Port Authority) Patrol. As usual John started the day with the task of dividing the assistants, among them there is …
Sideways (R, 2004) movie
I had actually been dying to see this movie although I kept passing over it in my Netflix queue. I feel that you have to be in a particular mood to deal with introspective ramblings of 30ish, 40ish people traveling the country simply to taste wine and sow …
The Social Network (2010 film)
Now that the Oscars is approaching, I suddenly felt the need to catch up on seeing some of the nominated titles I haven’t seen yet; I was merely checking out some of the academy’s picks, I’ve seen one or two previously, and “The Social Network” was next on my …
