Movie: “Brokeback Mountain”
Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain is a masterpiece that lingers with you long after the movie is over. I had read Annie Proulx’ short story of the same name four times before the movie reached my area. I’d been reading reviews since it was first released December 9, …

The Proposal (2009 movie)
I watched The Proposal in June 2009 with a couple of friends. Although it was not the movie I originally intended on watching, it was quite interesting and enjoyable. As a romantic comedy, I think that it was nearly flawless; the dull moments in the movie were far outweighed …

Disney’s The Rescuers premiered on June 22nd, 1977 and quickly became one of the most popular films of the year, right in the footsteps of Star Wars in the United States and outgrossing it in many European countries. The film tells the story of Bernard and Miss Bianca, …

Gladiator Movie
A spectacular film starring Russell Crowe as Maximus the General and a slave gladiator. The action in this film is not great but it is OK, not too gruesome, not too bloody. The plot is on point and it delivers the goods. Joaquin Phoenix plays a great bad guy …
The Movie An Extremely Goofy Movie
I know this is sad but I really liked A Goofy Movie. It was just cute to me. Thats why I could not wait to see this one. It deals with Max graduating high school and heading off to college. Like most kids his age he cannot …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
Raising Arizona movie
Joel and Ethan Coen had their breakthrough back in the 1980s with the most visually original and violent thriller Blood Simple. After that they have amazed the world audience with marvellous films like Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy. In my opinion they have lost some of …
Moonraker movie
In this Bond film (the series was starting to get very long by this time, but the creators kept doing them as they were all successful at the box office) the terrible Jaws makes his second appearance to stop Bond from completing his mission, however, the villain appears a …
The Seventh Sign movie
Strange events take place in the world, events that in courting to the bible hints that the apocalypse is close. For a woman named Abby Quinn it could also mean that her unborn child may be in danger.
This is a film that didn’t really serve it’s purpose in my …
Zootopia 2016 Animated Comedy Movie
I first saw the trailer for the animated movie Zootopia when I went to the movies to watch something else. At the time I got the impression that it wasn’t really going to be anything more than a very funny children’s movie perhaps with one or two parts that adults …
United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …
Eurotrip
OK, I know I’ve seen the movie Eurotrip before and I’m sure I have probably reviewed it before too.
But, after watching it for probably the 12th time last night, I still can’t get over how good this movie is.
Basically, for those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie …
Barefoot (2014 movie)
After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …
Jennifer’s Body movie
Well, we finally rented the movie Jennifer’s Body last night. As expected, the film was an OK movie and we got reminded of just how sexy Megan Fox really is. But, I have to say the movie also proved to be a bit of a disappointment.
The plot involving Fox …

Eve’s Hot Pepper Sauce
I love pepper, sometimes I think I love pepper a little too much, as I use it in and on everything. Have you ever glanced at the ingredients on the label to see what they use to give you the sauce? Well, if you haven’t, take a look…for Eve’s …

It features real-life brothers Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, Jennifer Carpenter, Busy Philipps, John Heard, Terry Crews, Brittany Daniel, Jessica Cauffiel, Eddie Velez, Maitland Ward, and Anne Dudek. The whole cast is crazy and when you …
How To Train Your Dragon 3D
At a first glance the movie, “How To Train Your Dragon” looks like another dreamworks movie put out there on the market to continue on the franchise of dreamworks. You may be partly correct, but just to let you know as a reviewer, I am personally fond of this …
Biutiful Movie
The director of this movie is a very famous Mexican director who has made many previous movies with the same basic structure in all of his films. He will take a bunch of disconnected or interconnected stories and then weave them together to make a movie. In …

North by Northwest movie
Perhaps the most famous and beloved of all Hitchcock’s films, made in a time when his artistic vision and innovative genius was at its absolute peak. The theme is very similar to all of his films: a man is mistaken for someone else and has to run away from …
Sweet November
“Sweet November” is definitely not the best movie for Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron; however the magic that they make in this movie is simply incredible. I simply love it, even though it has a different conclusion from what I would have liked and most importantly, even though they …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Shrek the third
I’ve heard some very mixed emotions about Shrek the Third for weeks before I made up my mind to go and see it myself. It took me this long, mainly because I did not want to be disapointed. See, I am a very big Shrek fan. …
Miracle in the Rain movie
If you want to see a motion picture about the mystery and magic of love, then Miracle in the Rain is the movie for you. This picture sends tingling chills up my spine, the kind of chills from the enduring legacy of a love that can’t and won’t …
Fellowship of the Ring
I am reviewing the movie, The Fellowship of the Ring, which was released in 2001. This is the first of three movies Peter Jackson created after JRR Tolkien’s masterpiece. The story involves four hobbits, who quest out on an adventure to destroy Dark Lord Sauron’s ring, which …

Deja Vu DVD Movie
I am not sure if there is a Deja vu, in real life, or that time could be traced back to where we wanted things not to happen. This is the case for the movie Deja vu, which stars my favorite actor, Denzel Washington.
This movie is about Denzel, …
The Heartbreak Kid
Supposedly a remake of a 1972 comedy, this 2007 release is a vulgar R-rated flick packed with obscenities, gross-out humor, and no wits whatsoever. Prolonged scenes of rough sex are supposed to be funny, as well as disgusting smirks at bestiality. The major plot line is the same: a …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen was one of the most anticipated “threequels” this year. Among a myriad of third instalments, it was one of those that were expected to improve on their predecessors and it delivers well.
The clever and thrilling plot revolves around Danny Ocean’s attempt at avenging senior Ocean member Reuben’s …
Hard Cash movie
Hard Cash with Christian Slater, Val Kilmer, Daryl Hannah, Verne Troyer, and Sara Downing.
Whoever said that Christian Slater can be the lead role in any movie? He is so one dimensional that few movies stand a chance of surviving his subpar performances. Val Kilmer …

The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
Reign Over Me
I decided to watch Reign Over Me because there are Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle and Liv Tyler in this movie. I am curious to see “again” how Adam plays a serious role also, love to see Liv Tyler and Don Cheadle act again in a movie. I really miss …
Rowan Atkinson
I think Rowan Atkinson is an actor who would deny his audience nothing. Whatever the need may be even if the scene requires him to go naked (but he only would not allow himself into frontal nudity), he would do it. But despite that, his personality as …
Saw IV (Unrated, 2007) movie
I was not a fan of the Saw movies at first. But by the time the third one was due to be released, I had a newfound respect. This is because I like the way the director and writers have pulled together all three stories into one …
Movie The Unborn
At first I really wanted to see this film. The previews looked incredibly scary. And as usual the powers that be put the scariest, most disturbing scenes in the actual trailer. I cannot believe that I actually was going to visit the movie theater …
Vantage Point
I’m a big fan of political thrillers; as long as they are fast paced and make you think while entertaining you.
The movie Vantage Point has some of the makings of a great movie but takes things a bit too far in terms of trying to do too much.
The plot …
Netflix Movie Rentals Service
I finally had the opportunity to test out the DVD rental network called Netflix. I heard about it many times but I never got the opportunity to apply.Netflix has a huge database of movies to choose from.

Grindhouse: Planet Terror
My wife and I were once again in the mood for a good zombie flick so I ended up picking out Grindhouse: Planet Terror, in an effort to find a more modern movie that might put a different spin on things.
It was an OK movie but not the best …
