Illusion travels by streetcar movie
One of Bunuel’s less known films tells a story about a couple of mexican crooks hijacking a street car in Mexico City. It takes place in one whole day and these crooks experience a number of different things they would never had expected. It feels a lot like a …
Horror of Spider Island Movie
I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …
Klute Movie
When a man and father of several children disappears without a trace, the private detective Klute is hired to investigate the case after the police have given up their searches. Great actors like Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Roy Sheider lifts this mediocre story to an interesting and intense …
Quarantine movie
My wife and I have been collecting dvds for years. We love to watch just about anything from horror to science fiction to action films. The last movie we have seen is Quarantine. A movie directed by John Erick Dowdle. I’m not a film critic, I’m not a movie …
DVD: Hidden Places
I enjoyed watching “Hidden Places” very much. Made for television by Hallmark Entertainment, the a wholesome, family-oriented film comfortably entertains without being overly sweet. The family owns an orange grove in California but faces the threat of foreclosure by the bank. If this sounds familiar, it should because it …
Movie: Aliens in the Attic
When the film Aliens in the Attic first came out, my wife and I gave serious consideration to seeing it in the theater with our oldest daughter. We decided against this because we figured it wouldn’t be as good as the previews.
We finally did watch the movie this past …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …

Iron Man 2 is the 2010 blockbuster sequel to the original Iron Man movie in 2008. Tony Stark has kept the world safe as Iron Man, but his body is being affected by the use of the suit and he’s slowly dying. Meanwhile a man named van …
Day of the Dead (2008)
This not quite-a-remake of George Romero’s classic zombie film is an odd creature. While it tries its hardest to be its own entity, any daring strides toward individuality are often done away with as the film pulls back for the odd, hollow reference back to the original it’s based …
The Station Agent (R, 2003) movie
I have had this movie in my Netflix queue for a long time. And just like so many others, I kept passing over it for some reason or another. I liked the idea of seeing Peter Dinklage (the famous dwarf featured on FX’s Nip/Tuck) in an independent …
Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
The Dark Knight
It has been about twenty-four hours since I sat down in the movie theater seat to see “The Dark Knight” and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Now, I must admit that “Batman Begins” was mediocre at best, but after hearing the wonderful reviews of the sequel, I …
Hoosiers movie
“Hoosiers” is a classic 1986 movie about a small town high school team in Indiana in the 1940s (or 1950s). Gene Hackman stars as Coach Normal Dale, who comes to town with a checkered past. This is a man seeking redemption.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian movie (2008)
The second installment to the Chronicles of Narnia films, Prince Caspian has become my favorite of the three movies released so far. The world of Narnia has progressed almost a thousand years into the future since the Pevensie children have returned to England. Telmarines have conquered Narnia, …
Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …
Spider Man
What can I say I just loved the Spider Man man. I think this was the best out of all 3 movies made. This movie was really cool because it shows you how Spider Man becomes Spider Man. I really liked how they showed the whole story about he got …
I am Legend movie
Frankly speaking my expectations were higher from this film of Will Smith, but this one really disappointed me. The story goes like this:
It is New York city, in 2012, completely devastated and ruined by an incurable disease three years ago, and Robert is the only one who somehow survived …
The Muppet Christmas Carol
The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I did not expect to like it so much when I had first rented it out. First of all, I was not sure whether the muppets would handle the timeless classic with enough reverence; secondly it is a …
Three Amigos
It has been a while since I last saw the movie Three Amigos. And, while I remembered it being funny, I had my doubts that it was as funny as I remembered.
Tonight, I got to see it again. And, I have to admit, it is as funny as I …
Movie: Transformers
I recently watched “Transformers”, the new live action and computer animated flick based on the cartoon from the mid 1980’s. Wow.

Sunset Boulevard (1950) Movie
I love this classic old black and white movie and watch it every time it comes on TV. Directed by Billy Wilder (who also directed the fabulous Some Like it Hot amongst others), it tells the story of fictional silent movie star, Norma Desmond - played very melodramatically …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers 2: Revenge of the fallen is a brilliant masterpiece. If you like the first one, you will love the second. The director did an awesome job with this movie. I love how there is more action in this movie rather than the first one. This movie starts you …
Movie Mirrors
Last night, my friends and I watched Keifer Sutherland’s Mirrors. We saw the trailer before watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2and were really enraptured. Anyway, it’s supposed to be a horror film so we made sure to watch it at night. :)
The plot’s really simple: An ex-detective, Sutherland …

Premonition movie
I went to see premonition a few days ago at Cineworld Cinemas because it looked like a film that has you on the edge of your seat and because i think Sandra Bullock is a good actress.
The film is rated a 12 and lasts for approx 98 minutes.

Fracture (movie)
One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …
Love Actually movie
I normally hate watching romance films, but since my friend fooled me that the actor Orlando Bloom was in the movie I ended up watching the movie to the end and feeling very annoyed and disappointed after as he obviously never appeared. The only thing which comforted me a …
I Robot
Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.
Based in the future, when robots have become part of everyday life, Smith plays a cop who is convinced the robots will eventually try to take …
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …

Hotel Rwanda

The Sentinel (2006) movie
My dad got a dvd two pack and this is one of the movies in the pack so I decided I would watch it since I missed it in theaters and the plot seemed pretty appealing to me.
Pretty simple plot to go with. There is a bug within …

Ice Age: Continental Drift movie
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …
