Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is one of the best Batman movies I have ever watched. I thought the actor Christian Bale really did hid character justice and was just the right amount of “dark” for the superhero. I thought it was a big change from the movies “Batman and Robin” and …

Hidalgo (2004)
I tried to watch this movie so many times before and it just didn’t appeal to me in any way, shape or form, but that was until I had nothing else to watch on cable one night and it was on, so I decided to give it a try …

Now that it’s a holiday, we have quite a lot of times to enjoy movies at home and relax with family and friends. This holiday, we have had a lot of good movies to watch, one of them was the Men in Black. I know it is a bit …
The Science of Sleep movie
The Science of Sleep, starring Gael Garcia Bernal (of “Y Tu Mama Tambien”) is a very strange film directed by Michel Gondry (who also directed “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). The film follows a young man who happens to fancy his neightbor Stephanie.
The beauty of this film …
I Am Legend
Will Smith is one of my favorite Hollywood actors. He has reinvented himself quite well, from being a former rapper and television star to becoming an A-list movie actor. I’ve watched almost all his films (my favorite being The Pursuit of Happyness). So I was really excited to see …
The Descent movie
Neil Marshall may have amassed a cult following with his previous horror effort “Dog Soldiers”, but with The Descent, he really hits his stride as a horror maestro in the makings.
Unlike his testosterone drenched werewolf vs. soldier movie, this time Marshall instead goes the all girl route; offering …
Howl’s Moving Castle (2004 movie)

Bridget Jones Diary
Renee Zellwenger had to increase about 25 lbs. in order to interpret the role of Bridget Jones. Even though she felt a lot chubby, her sacrifices were all worth it in the end. “Bridget Jones Diary” was a smashing hit and definitely her most successful movie!
So why “Bridget Jones …
Dead End movie (2003)
“Dead End” is one of those obscure, relatively unknown, direct-to-video horror movies that I came across on cable. I like the lead actor, Ray Wise, who once starred in the surreal TV series, “Twin Peaks.” I also like watching a suspenseful horror film from time to time. It’s just …
Da vinci Code movie
I watched this movie with my mother when it first came out. I didn’t understand a lot of it. Unless you know the bible really well I wouldn’t recommend the movie. I was kind of lost throughout the whole movie. My mother knows the bible really well and she …
Monty Python’s Meaning of Life Movie
Nearly everyone in the Western world knows about the comedy team of Monty Python. This British comedy troupe, featuring John Cleese and others, if famous for its unusual and offbeat humor. Monty Python came out with the movie Meaning of Life a number of years ago. Like …
The Orphan (2009)
What to say about this movie? I liked the concept. It was like watching “The Bad Seed” or “The Good Son” all together. But this movie started off with a really gruesome childbirthing nightmare. Once we realize that Vera Farmiga’s character is just dreaming, the …
Three Men and a Little Lady
Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg return in a sequel to the highly successful Three Men and a Baby in this movie called Three Men and a Little Lady. The angst comes when baby’s mom decides to get married and move to Europe with her new husband. …
Picture Perfect
I admit that “Picture Perfect” is one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies. This movie is very different from the typical romantic movie as it has a very original story. The main actors, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr interpret their role in an exception manner.
“Picture Perfect” is …
Indiscretion of an American Wife movie
I’ve never seen the movie Indiscretion of an American Wife until this week. The movie is from 1953, and it’s in black and white. It stars Jennifer Jones as Mary Forbes, a married woman with a child, who is in Rome, visiting family.
The movie also stars Montgomery …
Transformers
As I grew up with the animated series ,Im quite confused how was the story pulled off in the movie. But i have to give Michael Bay a two thumbs up. Despite the monumental different storyline between the animated and movie version, it has surpassed my delights to see …

Source Code 2011 Movie
I watched this movie only once, but it made a rather big impression on me nonetheless, and I would like to describe this impression below.
I started watching this film without having any idea of what the plot was going it be. I only knew that it was going to …
The Hangover movie
Though it contains crude humor at times, The Hangover is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. The only bad thing I have to say about this movie is that the storyline did not seem to flow very well at a couple points in …
Movie Along Came a Spider
I am reviewing the movie, Along Came a Spider, starring Morgan Freeman as Detective Alex Cross once again. This is the sequel to the movie, Kiss the Girls, starring Ashely Judd and Morgan Freeman. So, there’s a little girl named Megan. She’s a senator’s daughter. She has bodyguards. …

Movie: Sukob
Another movie I am going to comment on was the movie of again, Kris Aquino. But this time, she was with Claudine Baretto, the former teleserye queen of Filipino TV. I remember watching this movie with friends (officemates) when it was still showing in the cinemas. Well it was …
X-Men
I am a big Marvel Comics fan so when there was stories about X-Men being made into a movie, I was thrilled. Unforunately, it took some years for the first movie to come out and I was not happy. I have almost all of the X-Men comics books and …
Zack and Miri Make a Porno movie
When I first saw the movie “Zack and Miri Make a Porno”, I was not the slightest bit interested in it for several reasons. The very first one was the fact that the actor Seth Rogen was in one of the lead roles as Zack, and I have never …
Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
High School Musical 3: Senior Year movie
The Disney trilogy concludes with High School Musical 3: Senior Year, directed by the fabulous Kenny Ortega. There are songs galore and the typical high school angst of where to go to college and dealing with potential farewells of forever. This was the only one of the …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer
I found the trailer to the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on youtube. For those who don’t know, this movie is based on the book and because the book was so long (over seven hundred pages), the movie will be in two installments. This …
Reeker
Reeker is darn scary. You should rent this and watch; it is awesomely scary and something that I would truly opt for if you want to watch in a group, say on a scary Friday night with the weekend in tow and nothing to do.
The plot goes …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
10000 B.C. Movie
This was one of the most awaited movies of the year. It was released last week and I watched it and was quite impressed by the movie . The story is a fantasy taking us back to 10000 B.C. with a fiction situation of a fantasy land where …
Legally Blonde
Elle Woods is your typical sorority girl who could easily distinguish what’s in the fashion industry and what’s not. But like every stereotype dumb blonde, she dreams to marry her high school sweetheart and she’ll do anything to get this whatever and wherever it takes. So when her boyfriend got …
Watchmen movie
Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …
Death Race movie
Discretion: Alot of violence is in this movie, not only blood (and gore in some cases), do not watch this movie if you are not ok with fist to face action, or even face to concrete/metal action. It’s loud, very loud, depending on what theatre you go to, or if …
Agar Film
Agar- Film Review : I watched this movie a few days back. The story is about a young man, played by Tushar KApoor, who is accused of murdering a woman, who denied his love. He is rescued by a psychiatrist, and accidentally he falls in love with psychiatrist’s wife. …
Highlander
I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The film, of course, is what …
Half Nelson
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Half Nelson starring Ryan Gosling. Half Nelson revolves around a school teacher who is a favorite among his students. His class is always active with humor and fun, and everyone loves him…everyone except him. Ryan Gosling’s character smokes pot and does …
The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)
One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …
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 …
Wild Wild West
I was almost eleven when the movie “Wild Wild West” came out in theatres. It was a little before I just entered high school and I can remember how a lot of m friends who were in that same age group wanted to watch it. Back then, we …
Movie: “Sex Drive”
For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
The princess diaries movie
I remember watching “The princess diaries” a couple of years ago. It is a much better movie than I thought. It had a lot of humor to it and it was a good family movie. I watched it with my sisters and my mother on different occasions. It had …
Movie: You’ve Got Mail
“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …
Hall Pass (2011 Movie)
Starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, “Hall Pass” is about two guys who get to take a week off from marriage, no strings attached. After watching the trailer, I realized that movies like this are why I get so mad at the male population. A week off marriage? How …
The Gravedancers Movie
The Gravedancers was one of the movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest. This is a low budget movie that features some B-list actors that probably wouldn’t have been seen by many people if it weren’t for that festival. Though this movie has a few problems, …
Charade movie
From 1963, Charade is one of the best thrillers ever made, and to think it revolves around a simple stamp. The film is romantic, dramatic, and leaves you gasping more than once as the action unfolds. The mystery stays fresh and revitalizes itself several times throughout. …
