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 …
The Patriot
I had hear do the movie The Patriot for a long time, but I never got a chance to watch it until years after since I did not see it being aired on cable televsion as well as I had the impression by the title of the movie that …

Shutter (UR, 2008)
I had rented the Thai version of this film and was really disappointed with how shallow the American remake was. First of all, Joshua Jackson (of “Dawson’s Creek”, “Skulls”) is the lead character. I was not even aware of who his co-star is. …
Blood Diamond
I have always love seeing Leonardo DiCaprio acting, and a DVD movie I have watched, is the Blood Diamond.
I don’t really understand when I watched this DVD movie. I know that Leo is helping his friend out to seek the diamond, as there has been some dirty dealings …
I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …

Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman
While my daughter loved the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein, I don’t think she was a huge fan of the film Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman..
Of course, part of the problem could have been the fact the rented DVD was a bit scratched up and …
61 DVD Movie
This movie is my most favorite movie of all time.
For anyone who isn’t aware of the movie, *61 is about the race between Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris to beat Babe Ruth’s home run record in a season. The film is directed by Billy Crystal and has one of …
The Invention of Lying
I was expecting The Invention of Lying to be a romantic comedy, and only a decent one, because while I love Ricky Gervais, I do not enjoy the movies which Jennifer Garner does. I figured Gervais’ wonderful, sarcastic, dry, British humour would carry this movie. While Gervais was great, …
Spiderman Movie
When the movie Spiderman came out in theaters, I remember it got a lot of attention. I for one wasn’t any less thrilled than everyone else since I grew up reading Marvel comics even though those days I hadn’t read one in a long time.
I had no idea …
X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
Titanic movie 1997
Titanic movie is one of the best lovestory that I have ever seen. Titanic became a huge hit when it was shown is the huge screen. Especially in this movie famous actors stars. This movie stars Leonardo di caprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose. Jack and Rose …

Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …

This movie is based on a true story of Frank Abagnale, a teenage con artist who successfully impersonated an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, as well as cashed over $2.5 million worth of forged checks - all that before reaching his 19th birthday. Frank, played very convincingly …

A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …
When We Were Soldiers
When We Were Soldiers stars Mel Gibson in one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting the Vietnam War. The storyline is great, the scenes are even better. If you are looking for action packed movie then this will definitely not fail you. This must’ve been …

The Movie Toy Story
Along with my love of hair care products also comes a love of movies and books. This review will be about a movie that most people have probably seen a dozen times: Toy Story.

This is a 1999 animated comedy film, basically it is a longer version of the 30 minute cartoon on comedy central. The movie is about how Sadam Hussein and Satan work together to try and rule the earth, one of the main differences from this movie and the TV …
The Avengers (2012 movie)
The Avengers was, to put it lightly, absolutely epic. I’ve never been that interested in superhero movies, games, or comics, but this action film was incredible. The way the action blended perfectly with the story line meant that I was captivated for the entire time, even though it’s a …
After Earth (2013, Movie)
When I heard about this movie, a science-fiction, with Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, I thought it was gonna be a good film, due to previous movies in which Will Smith played. For me, personally, it was a disappointment, and here is why…
First of all, the movie …
Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …

“Valentine” Motion Picture
I watched this movie because I like David Boreanaz and have enjoyed watching him in the tv shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is a fine actor who seems to only be able to do drama and horror but he does a good job. Anyone …
Big Fish movie
I think Big Fish was a pretty good movie, yet it was a sad story. I really thought the stories told in the movie Big Fish were just great. This movie has a different type of setting. Big Fish is about an old man who is dying of cancer and …
Seabiscuit (2003)
Have you ever been to the horse races? Have you ever had to sit there and wait until they get the horses ready for the race, wait until they are all lined up in their stocks, wait for the release and then the actually race itself? Even had to …

With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …
Revolutionary Road (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “Revolutionary Road” reunited the two main characters of “Titanic”, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. I had thought that this film was going to be a rekindle of the flame that I saw in “Titanic” and something that would leave my heart melting. However, I had an …
Ploning Movie
It’s been quite some time since I last watched Minsa’y Isang Gamu-Gamo. It was the first and last Filipino movie I watched that reminded me of flashes of European cinema brilliance.
And then along came Ploning.
Judy Ann Santos speaking Cuyunon in Cuyo, Palawan with numerous unknown faces is the making …
The Father of the Bride
Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …

Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …
