Movies Reviews
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 …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, movie
How did Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth movie franchise fall so far from the heights reached with his original Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Before the first instalment of the Hobbit films had even been released in 2012 the naysayers were already quite vocal about the proposition of taking a small …
Hairspray (2007)
This movie is absolutely amazing.
Firstly, the casting of the characters was simply perfect. There’s no denying the newly-discovered Nikki Blonsky IS Tracy Turnblad. She can act, and she can sing (BOYYY, can she sing!). John Travolta is hilarious as Edna Turnblad, and he can really move in that fat …
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 …
Bridesmaids comedy
Bridesmaids is a film that has been out for a while now, and I have been dying to see it. This weekend, I finally got around to it, and I must say that it caused me to laugh harder and more often than any other film in recent memory. …
American Sniper, movie
This movie has gotten a lot of buzz for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons are legit and others are a bit frivolous.
For some reason, people have turned the movie into a political pawn. Fox News talks about it all the time and …
Apollo 18, movie
I had seen a couple of video reviews that suggested that this movie was OK. It wasn’t without its flaws, but it was still decent. The average viewer rating on Netflix, however, has it at one and a half stars. After seeing the movie for myself, …

Dune movie
Opinions on this cult classic science fiction movie based on the novel of the same name are divided. A lot of people don’t like it, while others love it. I saw this movie well over 10 years ago and I was less than impressed. I daresay …
La Vita E Bella (directed by Roberto Benigni)
I watched this movie about three or four times and I wouldn’t mind watching it again. It is one of those movies that you can never forget. I would describe it as a very delicate film, approaching very serious problems in a playful manner, but for this very reason …
Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
In Her Shoes (movie)
In Her Shoes made me like Cameron Diaz. For whatever reasons, I have never been impressed with this actor and just didn’t think that much of her. In Her Shoes changed my mind. While I still do not consider Cameron Diaz to be one of my favorite actors, she …

V for Vendetta (2005)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Director: James McTeigue. Featuring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving and John Hurt.
In my eyes, the movie stands somewhere between greatness and boredom, all depends on how you like your movies. It is told in a non realistic, graphic novel style. The heroes are symbolic and …
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980 film)
My boyfriend and I have been watching all of the Star Wars movies from the very beginning. After really becoming addicted to A New Hope, I knew that I had to watch the next film on the list, “The Empire Strikes Back”. This movie really made me see further …
Jupiter Ascending (Science Fiction Fantasy Movie)
After watching The Matrix Trilogy multiple times, I found myself looking forward to future projects from the filmmaking team Lana Wachowski who was formerly Laurence “Larry” Wachowski; and her brother Andy Wachowski. Therefore, I guess like many other people I automatically assumed that it was going to be very …
Movie Cloverfield (2008)
As many others, my first experience with Cloverfield was during the opening set of previews for last year’s summer blockbuster Transformers. The movie was drenched in the bloody veins of terror, depicting some… thing laying waste to New York like with all its ability. Shrieks of people pierced the …
Red Heat (1988)
A Russian sting operation goes terribly wrong and the man that they were trying to catch escapes and flees to the United States of America, but not before killing a lot of the Russian police officers and the partner of Russian Captain. Now the Captain has made this his …
Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Annapolis (2006)
I don’t get this movie. It starts off with a young man trying to get into the US Navy. He is approached and offered a late entry spot and he takes the opportunity. He goes under the usual regulated training as a US Naval officer, then the whole direction …
Netflix Online Mail-Order Movie Rental Service
This is a very disappointing and much over-hyped service for many reasons, but it has a few slightly redeeming factors.
When I first used my free trial membership, the movies arrived in a flash. Sometimes literally 1 day later. The turn around was nearly as fast, and I …
Captivity film
Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Following the happenings of Pitch Black, this movie continues the tale of Riddick, a criminal and killer the likes the universe is not ready for. The short stop on the dark planet that gave us an inside look of what Riddick is capable of is only a glimpse into …

Last Man on Earth movie (1964)
One thing I’ve always had a soft spot for is post appocalyptic films, and the 1964 version of the movie “Last Man on Earth” is just that. In fact, the first thing it reminded me of was the most recent version of the movie “I am Legend” starring the …

The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” tells the story of three people, Tereza (Juliette Binoche), her husband Tomas, and his mistress Sabrina. The story is largely existential featuring people who seem to lack any substantive values so they seek meaning to life by doing things, no matter what the acts …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
Movie: After the Wedding (2006)
I liked the movie “After the Wedding.” The movie is a 2006 Danish movie filmed in both India and Denmark. The 120 minute movie is in color and is in Danish, Swedish, Hindi, and English. Fortunately for me the DVD came with English subtitles. I don’t mind subtitles and …

13 Going On 30 (movie)
13 Going On 30 is one of the most idiotic movies I have ever seen. My family saw it and convinced me to sit down and watch with them. Well, I will give 13 Going On 30 credit for getting the family to sit through one more viewing because …
A lot like love (movie)
I watched this movie a couple of years ago, overall I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was a lot funnier than I expected it to be. I hadn’t seen any previews to it before I watched it and just saw it on television one day and …
The Christmas Dinosaur
Since we are past Thanksgiving and officially in the Holiday season, I allowed my daughter to finally watch some Christmas movies I loaded on the Netflix player. One of them was The Christmas Dinosaur.
The movie turned out to be somewhat farfetched and predictable but was still an enjoyable animated …
Boogie Nights movie
Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg, Bert Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, and William H. Macy.
This insight into the porno movie industry was the type of movie that you can see many times. Beneath this simple story lies many complex subplots that are hidden at …
The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The tale of The Nightmare before Christmas is a turn on the Grinch. The story is about Jack Skellington (Chris Sarandon, Danny Elfman) the king of Halloweentown. Sally (Catherine O’Hara) thinks that Jack is a great dead person. Sally was created by an evil scientist (William Hickey). The mayor …
Piranha 3D (Movie 2010)
It’s been ages since I have actually seen something as gory and as nude as Piranha 3D. Honestly, the last time I saw a movie like this was…never!
I watched this movie two weeks ago out of boredom. I was in the mood for something bloody and horrible when …
Nothing DVD
Nothing may sound like nothing, but the Nothing DVD is full of everything. It’s a well packaged DVD with a couple of extras to make buying the product worthwhile.
The movie Nothing stars David Hewlett, known best for Stargate Atlantis. It also stars Andrew Miller. The two …
Movie Taxi Driver
Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver is probably not only one of his greatest film technically, but also artistically. The social comentary of the film is unsurpassed, which says a lot considering the vast number of social-commentary oriented films made during the 1970’s. Taxi Driver worked not only as a …

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I don’t know why everyone around me seems to find Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince a boring watch. Perhaps they are but I was like enjoying the movie, laughing throughout especially when it comes to the love potion. But I am just too lazy to think …
Twilight (PG-13, 2008)
I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …
The Lego Batman Movie (2017 Animated Film)
I can still remember the time 3 years ago, almost the same day, I rushed to the nearest cinema because every critics loved The Lego Movie the moment it was released. I had no intention of watching it before but the reviews were so glowing that I was really tempted …
The Butcher Movie
The thing about slasher movies is they normally are good if you’re looking for a good laugh or just like watching a lot of blood and gore. But, as far as being scary, most fall well short of expectations.
I had never heard of the movie The Butcher before so …
