Terror Train movie
I had heard of the movie Terror Train before but didn’t think it was anything worth watching. After all, I am not a huge Jamie Lee Curtis fan, did not like the original Halloween movie and I knew this movie was produced as a result of the success of …

A Night to Remember movie
I watched a British Film called “A Night to Remember” which is a movie about the sinking of the Titanic. I know that there have been other movies made about the sinking of the Titanic however this was made in 1958.

Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …
Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray Movie
After Alien 3 didn’t really impress me, I wasn’t sure Alien Resurrection would be any good. I purchased the Alien 4 Alien Resurrection 1997 Special Edition Bluray. The filmmakers ended the series on a really strong note, giving some finality to the alien storyline. Ripley died to keep the …
DVD Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?
Warning: You may want to take an aspirin before reading this review.
In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …
Erin Brockovich Movie
This is a fantastic movie! Whenever it comes on television I like to watch it all the way through.

Wall-E Movie Bluray
I am doing a review of the movie Wall-E in Bluray format.
Here are just a few things that I really loved about this movie that I think make it worth getting:
First off is the cool visual effects that they did for the ships rocketing off, ect. I believe that …
Robin Hood Movie (2010)
I rarely go to the movie theater here in town. But, my wife and I wanted to spend some time away from the kids and ended up going to see the new Robin Hood movie.
I don’t know if it was worth the $30 we spent on tickets and popcorn. …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
Film Halloween
The last time I saw the 1978 version of Halloween, I was a pre-teen and, to be perfectly honest, couldn’t remember much about the movie.
It was on one of our movie channels last night so I decided to watch it with my wife while we were waiting for Project …
A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
Pretty Persuasian movie
The film “Pretty Persuasion” is about some teen characters; however, not necessarily a film for teenagers solely. James Woods delivers a good performance as the protagonist’s father. He is also not the most terrible character of the movie’s personages however he comes in at a close second. …
Coming Soon (Movie)
Coming Soon is a Thai movie that was released in Thailand in 2008 but is only now being released in the Philippines. It is directed by Sopon Sakdapisit and stars Worrakarn “Punch” Rotjanawatchra and Chantawit Tanasaewee.
I watched it last weekend with my dad and my boyfriend and we …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
The Irrefutable Truth About Demons movie
I am reviewing the New Zealand film, The Irrefutable Truth About Demons, starring Karl Urban and Katie Wolfe. This movie was made in 2000, and was written and produced by Glen Standring.
This movie focuses on anthropologist Harry Ballard, played by Karl Urban. Harry has always had an interest …
Jack and the Beanstalk movie
I had been a while since I’ve watched the Abbott and Costello movie “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Since I wanted to introduce my daughter to it, I figured I would watch it with her last night.
It was even better than I thought it would be.
Even when compared to movies …

Stealing Harvard is about a guy and a promise he made years before which he sort of regretted. To cheer his niece up after she lost at a spelling bee he promised he would’ve paid for her college tuition to wherever she got accepted. Unfortunately for him she got …

Tokyo Majin Episode 2 shows how Tatsuma Hiyuu transferred to Magami High School and met Kyouichi Horaiji, Aoi Misato, Komaki Sakurai and Yuuya Daigo. It’s basically an origins episode that shows how they were first attacked by the undead.
Because of the very confusing first episode, I didn’t know …
The Departed (R, 2006) movie
If ever there was a film that kept me riveted to my seat, it is The Departed starring Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon amongst a few other greats. The story pits the three in a race against each other and opposite forces (criminals vs. the police). …

Inkheart
Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …
Madagascar movie
Take a hypocondriac giraffe, an existential zebra, a tough-girl hippopotamus, and a classic New Yorker lion, transport them from the comforts of the best zoo in the world (Central Park) to the wilds of Madagascar, and you are bound to find comedy.
True friendship comes through as Alex the lion …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …

The anime “Full Moon wo Sagashite” means “in search of a full moon”. It is a touching anime featuring a girl named Mitsuki who is 12 years old at the time. She has throat cancered and two death gods visited her, telling she only has a year to live. …
Crank movie
Who’s in It: Efren Ramirez, Dwight Yoakam, Amy Smart, and Jason Statham.
In the movie crank, a professional hit man is injected by this stuff that they call ?The Chinese S?t?. But the thing is that he has to keep his adrenaline up or he dies. Through out the movie …
Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)
I still remember that day in October, 2013 when Gravity opened in cinemas and I was one of the first people who saw it on its opening day. The cinema was rather surprisingly empty, mimicking the vast space where this film was mostly set. It became a box-office phenomenon a …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is another classic that I keep watching repeatedly. In fact, just recently I bought the collector’s edition. This film is just amazing, and not only because actress Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen with her presence and fashion style. I think the film …

Movie Tootsie
Movies are a big part of my life and we, my son, my husband and I watch movies all the time. The other day we saw an old movie with Dustin Hoffman in it, the movies title was Tootsie.
In this movie was made in 1982 and Dustin …
Curse of Frankenstein
I have seen almost every Frankenstein movie ever made and have to say, after seeing Curse of Frankenstein, I’m convinced Christopher Lee is the best at playing the classic literary monster (sorry Boris Karloff).
Made in the 1950s, The Curse of Frankenstein actually focuses more on Victor Frankenstein (played by …
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World 2010
This is one of those movies that looked really bad in the previews and yet I still went to see it. I am not quite sure why I went to see it but I can say that it was as bad as the previews looked. This movie is about …
DNAngel Episode 5 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 5 has Risa and Riku switching places with each other after Risa fails in cooking class. Daisuke has to peal cabbages too and tries to get out of it to get to his next thieving assignment.

The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …
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 …
Kung Fu Panda
One of the most entertaining and lesson-filled computer animated movies I’ve watched would be Kung Fu Panda. A 2008 offering from Dreamworks starring Jack Black as the voice of the main character, Po, the panda who’s crazy about kung fu. He knows everything about kung fu except that he …
40 Year Old Virgin DVD
I actually went to the premiere of this movie in my town. I knew nothing about the movie before I went, but had won free tickets, so decided to give it a try. This movie is absolutly hilarious. Its about a man who is fourty, but still a virgin. …
Barn Yard
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I just did not know what to expect from Otis and the hill surfing to the motorcycle ride back to the farm. I think and fell that each character brought that little extra something that every film needs. The twist and turns …
Blue Velvet movie
The both controversial and beloved filmmaker David Lynch has been acclaimed for his unique artistic style and criticised for his way of showing brutal violence. My favorite of all his works is the incredibly emotionally powerful and mysterious tv-series Twin Peaks that totally flabbergasted me as a young teenager …
Happy Feet Movie
I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Movie
I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …
Showgirls movie
Showgirls is one of the most idiotic, lame and stupid movies I’ve ever has the non-pleasure of watching. Elizabeth Berkley attempts to pull off her pitiful character, Nomi, and fails miserably. I never thought much of Elizabeth Berkley and her acting anyway, and Showgirls was the straw that broke …
Orgazmo
I am reviewing the little known movie, Orgazmo, which was released in 1998. Co-creator of South Park Trey Parker directs, writes, stars in, and even sings the theme song to this movie. He plays an innocent mormon who is offered a job as the role of Orgazmo, a …
Movie: Youth Without Youth
Tons of praise can be showered upon Coppola for he is a legend of Hollywood, after a decade long wait for his fans and admirers Coppola hits back with “Youth without Youth”. In line with the recent trend of novel-adopted films YWY is based on Mircea Elaide’s novella - …

The movie Inspector Gadget
As a kid I loved the old inspector gadget cartoons. They were the greatest thing to me and my friends and I used to play inspector gadget all the time. Thus when this movie came out I was relatively excited. I figured that if it was anything like …
