Movies Reviews
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
The Producers movie
Have you ever thought about producing a Broadway musical? Then the remake of the Mel Brooks classic is a great movie for you.

Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
Idyllic …
The Bucket List
I cried when I watched The Bucket List before. It starred Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and it saddened me to know that these 2 characters are facing death since they are terminated with cancer.
And due to that, they have a chance to obtain a friendship of a lifetime …
Loverboy
Last night I just saw this movie, it’s a drama movie, a little bit touch for me. Loverboy told about the mother that have a trauma in her childhood and she don’t wanna her son have a same destiny like her.
The movie use the flashback plot. It begin when …

Descent (NC-17, 2007) movie
Man oh man, was I disappointed with this movie. There aren’t too many films starring Rosario Dawson that I absolutely hate. But this one—an indie—about her “brutal” rape was just strange. The premise is that she’s an introverted college student who is lured into …

X-Men: First Class, Movie
To be honest I was quite skeptical towards the fifth film in the X-Men series. I found it hard to see James Mcavoy as a young Charles Xavier and the absence of Wolverine also did not help much. What little I saw of the trailer , however , suggested …
Persepolis the movie
I watched this movie just today with my mom. I was told by my friends it was nice and all that, but when I watched it, I wasn’t sure how to feel. The beginning was very interesting. I loved the way they made this movie just …
Love Me or Leave Me movie
This picture, Love Me or Leave Me, is one of Doris Day’s most dramatic roles, and she soars in it. It’s a bit of a dark picture as the movie attempts to tell an account of singer Ruth Etting’s life. Etting was quite successful but also dealt …
UP movie
I went with my niece Jaime to see the newly release UP movie, I wasn’t so impressed but my niece was, a 5 yr old would be impressed by a lot of things.
I just enjoyed the movie a lot, and so did my niece. I felt the characters were …
Puncture (movie)
“Puncture” was a movie that I just didn’t care to see after I had read a lot of bad reviews on it. Even the trailer did little to stimulate my interest in it, even though later I came to realise that it had a very interesting plot. How I …

The Dark Knight DVD
Released in December 2008 in time for the Christmas season, The Dark Knight has broken DVD sales charts, just as the film itself broke box office records upon its theatrical release.
I recently purchased the 2 disc special edition, which features the theatrical release and commentary on disc 1 …
Accattone movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini was one of the most controversial filmmakers of his time, mostly for his extremely grotesque depiction of Marquis de Sades novel The 120 days of sodom, but also because he was openly homosexual which wasn’t fully accepted in Italy back then. Pasolini was murdered for mysterious …
Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Movie)
I was greatly disappointed in this movie because of the fact that the movie was not very close to the series that was shown on Nickelodeon. Yes, there were the main characters that were supposed to be there but the truth is that if you’ve never seen the cartoon …
Day of the Dead Remake Movie
Day of the Dead is a remake and an updated version of the old George Romero zombie movie. I can’t take the approach that some horror movie fans did and automatically hate this movie because it doesn’t follow the rules based on his movies because I can’t really remember …
Annabelle (horror movie)
A friend of mine who loves horror movies encouraged me to watch the trailer for Annabelle, and I knew I just had to since it was supposedly based on the story of one of the haunted dolls that resides in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s doll room. I was so terrified …
Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 11
RomeoXJuliet Episode 11 begins with Romeo and Juliet run away together with Romeo’s Dragon Steed Cielo, escaping to the country far away from Neo Verona, hoping to have a happy life together, and simply being with each other.

Another Cinderellla Story
For Christmas I got the movie “Another Cinderella Story”. I rate this movie as a 7. It was pretty good, and the story line was cute because it goes with this decade.
The movie stars Selena Gomez as Mary. Mary’s mother died and so Mary now lives …
Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie
I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …
Juno- the movie
Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …
Wanted: Movie
I thought Wanted was a very good, interesting and overall rather unique kind of film.
I hadn’t seen the plot before, but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be an excellent watch.
It has a lot of bizarre aspects to it, and I know a couple of people who …

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
Dirty Deeds, 2005
“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …
As young as you feel movie

I don’t know if I would really classify this as a Marilyn Monroe movie (she only had a …
Finn’s Girl movie
“Satisfyingly adult in its depiction of female sexuality” - that’s an endorsement from LA Weekly for this movie.
The cover’s poster is two woman holding each other tight and smiling happily, as they’re in love. So i guess this is a lesbian movie, right? But not the one you …
The New Daughter movie
I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …
