Movies Reviews
TMNT
I remember being a kid in third grade and absolutely loving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles. They had a good cartoon, (or so I thought at that age) and made a few movies back then and some good money off their merchandising. Now in 2007, the turtle gang …
Date Night (2010)
Tina Fey and Steve Carrell team up together in a very funny, smart movie. Date Night is a great comedy film, well executed with lots of clever lines and comical scenes. There were a few surprises, too, as the movie wound in a different direction that I …
King Kong
‘King Kong’ is an English movie. It is interesting to watch and full of adventure. Now, there is a man named Carl Denham. He has got a movie to finish and he has to search for a location. He decides that Skull island would be the best location. But …

The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Sidekicks (movie)
Back when I was in karate and beginning to lose interest, my dad bought me the movie Sidekicks, with Chuck Norris. I really enjoyed the movie and it definitely renewed my interest in martial arts, and hence I stayed in the sport until I was about 14.
What was great …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Although my daughter is too young to write reviews, she surely knows how to show if she enjoyed watching a film or not. “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is amongst her favourite and she keeps watching it and watching it. Soon I will start knowing the film script by heart!
Although …
Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …
Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal
My wife and I were flipping channels the other day trying to find something that wasn’t a re-run we’ve seen 100 times before. After a frustrating search, we decided to watch the made-for-tv movie Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal, which is apparently based on a true story we never …
The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
True Grit movie
In 1969, John Wayne starred in True Grit, and it’s one awesome picture. I don’t like the violence, but even so, I went to the theater numerous times when it was first released. I love it. The movie co-stars Kim Darby and Glen Campbell. Along …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
“My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is irresistibly funny, warm, cute, entertaining, and romantic. In Toula’s family, women have three purposes in life: to marry Greek boys, produce Greek babies, and cook up a Greek feast to feed everyone. Toula’s family is loud, boisterous, obnoxious, eccentric, and insanely Greek. She’s …
Big Fat Liar
Big Fat Liar is an unpretentious teen-oriented flick about a kid who lies all the time and then gets to taste his own medicine when a Hollywood producer steals his idea. Jason has lied so much in his life that no one takes him seriously any longer, so when …
The Heartbreak Kid
The best words that describe the movie “The Heartbreak Kid” is an attempt from the actor, Ben Stiller to make a successful movie similar to “There’s Something about Mary”. After nine years from “There’s Something about Mary” he teams about with the Farrell brothers to produce this movie, which …
Exam (movie)
After watching the movie Exam last night, I can’t help thinking that it was one of the best psychological thrillers that I watched in a long while. This was despite the barely above average rating that it had received on its IMDB page. I think that the rating was …
Saw (horror movie)
Saw is 2004 horror, thriller and mystery movie directed by James Wan who had quite a successful career in directing horror movies. I don’t usually watch horror movies, not because I can’t bear them, but, because its not truly my genre. My friend told me how much of a …
Road House movie
Some movies achieve cult status, and that is exactly what has happened to Road House, the movie in which Patrick Swayze stars as the philosophical bar bouncer, Dalton. To be precise, Dalton is the cooler, the man in charge of the staff that keeps his bars safe for …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
If you are thinking on watching G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, it’s worth your money, trust me. That’s what I feel on the whole. This movie has the ever-rising and handsome Channing Tatum as the main character, I suppose and he will be really big in future, …
Speak movie
I am reviewing the movie entitled SPEAK, which was based off of the award winning novel by Laurie Anderson. This is a movie you cannot miss. Kristen Stewart plays the role of Melinda, who has been deemed a social outcast after she called the police at a school …
Movie Deja Vu
I watched this a while back with my mother. Both of us really enjoyed the movie. It kept us entertained and interested during the whole film. Denzel Washington plays in it as one of the main characters. It’s a unique movie, I really enjoyed watching it. It was a …
Eden Lake movie
I just recently watch this thriller movie on a DVD player which is a British horror thriller written and directed by James Watkins. My comment about this movie is that I am not satisfied with the ending. The message is very clear in the movie though and it …
Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …
Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 28
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 28 starts off with Al and Gluttony going into where Father is. Then Gluttony’s stomach explodes as Ed, Envy and Ling emerge from inside the false Truth Gate. Secrets are revealed and there’s a huge surprise that I won’t give away, but …
Corpse Bride (movie)
Corpse Bride is a 2005 animation, fantasy and musical movie directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson. I decided to watch this movie after I watched Coraline, which was one of the best animation movies that entertained me really well. The reason why I linked this movie to Coraline …
Labor Pains
What do you do when you are stuck in a rut in your daily job, and your boss isn’t helping your bored situation and you keep coming late and making your boss angry? Either you resign, or in some situation you get the sack. But what if it …
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Very curious indeed!
I had high hopes for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Firstly Brad Pitt was in it (how could it possibly be anything but great) and secondly it has been nominated for so many awards that I was really looking forward to seeing it. Unfortunately, although I …
House Of Voices
Speaking of horror and haunting movies, this one title, House Of Voices sits in the list of mine as being pretty boring and bland. I’ve watched it with my friends and if I’m not mistaken, this movie was before 2005 or 2006.
The story is about this particular woman who …
Big City movie
I saw Big City for the first time this week, and I just loved it. It’s a warm, sweet, tender family drama, though it couldn’t happen in today’s society. Back when it was filmed in 1948, I suppose it could have been possible.
The adorable and ultra talented …
Jackie, 2016 movie
Grief is universal. People can be rich; can be poor; can be famous; can be no one; or can be a first lady like Jackie Kennedy - all of whom will experience the loss of a loved one. You either cry or you try to act like a strong person …
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar movie
Attitude is everything, and in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, there is plenty of attitude. When I first heard that Patrick Swayze was going to be in this movie, I was surprised, but there’s a reason for everything Patrick does, and when I learned it …
Dragon Heart movie
When I first rented Dragon Heart, I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. I was pleasantly surprised about how good it was and have watched it several times since.
Sean Connery has always been a star but I truly feel his voice over for Draco, the dragon, …
Flushed Away Movie
We went to see the movie Flushed Away this past weekend. There were two adults and a 12 year old boy. I went in with the intention of seeing a comedy, not knowing it was more of an adventure movie. It was a nice family film with a few …
Wild Strawberries (Movie) 1957
Wild Strawberries was written and directed by the notoriously intellectual Ingmar Bergman and was released in 1957 to critical acclaim. Commonly, Bergman is known as a gloomy, philosophical director who has a preoccupation with death which is enough to put a lot of people off. Well, his …
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is the hilarious chronicle of the making of a movie about Vietnam where the director is ‘inspired’ to take his cast deep into the Vietnam jungle so that they can capture the movie in real time and give it a ‘gritty’ feel to the entire drama. It has …
Planet Terror (2007)
Planet Terror (2007) is a horror film by director Robert Rodriguez and is rated R by the MPAA.
When a biological weapon is released into the air turning most of the towns population into zombie-like creatures, its up to a group of survivors who are trying to find a way …
Movie: Baby Mama
“Baby Mama” is a silly, uninteresting piece of uninspired film-making starring Tina Fey as a woman desperate to have a baby. She has always put her career first, but now the 37-year old Kate longs for a baby even though she is not married, and apparently does not have …
The Big Bang Teory (Comedy)
This was the funniest American serial comedy of all time for me. It is simply funny and not that typical funny, but a smart one. I am a big fan of this serial, The Big Bang Theory. Until now, it has reached season two and over 20 episodes of …
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is in my opinion one of the best sea fairing movies ever made. The movie is nearly perfect in every manner. The cinematography is gorgeous and the film making is top notch. Some of the …
Drop Dead Sexy
“Drop Dead Sexy” is the movie where the actor Jason Lee shows off a strange hairstyle medium long hair all glued together with gel. The hairdresser on the set of this movie didn’t go through a lot of trouble to make his hair style! I can imagine …
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 …
13 Assassins (2010) - Movie
I saw this film with a friend for his birthday. He loves Japanese culture, and I actually met one of the actors, Tsuyoshi Ihara, at a Christmas party at my school. All the girls were crowding around him, he had the presence of a rock star. …
The Mummy (1999)
The Mummy, directed by Stephen Sommers is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for pervasive adventure violence and some partial nudity. The original release date was May 7, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Comedy/Fantasy/Horror/Thriller and stars Brendan Fraser as …
Alex and Emma
Alex and Emma is an average romantic comedy starring Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson in the lead roles. The movie has a nice story but the pace of the movie is a bit slow and it sometimes becomes boring to see some scenes. Alex is an upcoming writer who …
