Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Robin Hood movie
Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …

I think everybody loves Iron Man movies, including Robert Downey Jr., who is a very famous and talented actor, who portrays Iron Man in part 1 and part 2. Gwyneth Paltrow redeems herself in the movie by being Pepper Potts who is very classy and elegant to be a …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000 film)

I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.

I think K-Pax is a great movie. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges do a great job in this film. So the movie is about an man who all of a sudden shows us at an air port, and he claims to be from another planet. Most people think that …
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.

Bulletproof

Suicide Squad (2016 Film)
I am a DC fan ever since childhood, and while most of my friends accuse me of being a Marvel hater (which isn’t true by the way), I am not blind enough to see the faults of my mighty favorite comicbook superheroes.
I was a little bit disappointed with the theatrical …
Twilight
When I first heard about the movie, Twilight based on the Book by Stephanie Meyer, I really did not know much about it. After it came out on DVD I decided to watch it. At first I loved the movie but found it a bit cheesy. After reading the …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy.

Dorian Gray movie
I completely forgot about this film until I saw it again on the front page of the site “watch-movies-online.tv”. Of course, since I hadn’t read the book, I knew the name sounded familiar, but I didn’t know what it was all about. I was even motivated more to try …

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …

The Italian Job (2003 version)

The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …

Johnny Guitar movie
This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns.

Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …
Me, Myself & Irene (starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger)
I watched Me, Myself & Irene 2 times actually and the first time I watched, I didn’t really have a clue as to what the story is all about because I wasn’t concentrating at all. During that time, the movie story was shown on my local TV and I …

Wadjda (movie)
One of the reasons why I love Starz Cinema so much is because it sometimes brings my fix of foreign movies that I’m positive I will never see on any other channel that I have. Up to very recently, one of those was a movie made by Saudi Arabian …

Cars-animated movie
