Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)
In my quest to find a better than your average film, I stumbled upon Everybody Wants Some!! in a somewhat forced manner. This was the first time I actually watched a film where the subject matter was something I’m not fond about. By the looks of it, the film was …

Nightmare on Elm Street
I just went to see this movie in theaters last Saturday. First, let me tell you what I was expecting. When you watch the first movie that came out in the 80s, you now see a corny movie that is not at all scary. I was expecting this remake …
Transformers (2007) movie
First I saw the trailer of the movie, and instantly I was impressed and knew its going to be a total entertainer with lots of action and CG. As soon as the movie started I was hooked to it.
There is a lot of stuff that worked for me and …

The Mist
Frank Darabont had proven himself a skilled director when it came to adapting Stephen King’s works to film. He created a modern masterpiece with “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” was also very well done. For the first time, the director gets to tackle a horror …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
Noises Off movie
Noises Off
This is what I consider to be one of the best and one of my favorite comedies of all time. A Broadway play gone wrong. If you were sitting in a front row seat, you couldn’t help but to just die laughing. When it comes to stage plays …
Wild Hogs
This very hilarious movie, called Wild Hogs, is a box office hit in my country, and I managed to catch it as well.
I laugh my whole way through at the antics of a group of middle-aged friends, who decided to go on a motorcycling trip together. Their antics …
Ant-Man (Superhero Movie)
Ant-Man was possibly the only Marvel movie that caught me off-guard because I didn’t remember hearing of the superhero until after I saw the movie trailer, and because I wasn’t sure how seriously I could take one that had shrinking to the size of an ant as a superpower. However, …
Film The Bank Job
The Bank Job is a retread of the tried and tested, ‘caper film with likable London criminals’ formula, in the same vain as the Italian Job, but with more banking, and no Michael Caine.
Now, although it has no new ideas there are good things about this film, not the …
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 …
Short Circuit 2 movie
Short Circuit 2 is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I grew up watching Johnny 5 is alive in the first Short Circuit. I really love the music and soundtrack to the movie. The song Who is Johnny is just wonderful. I must say I do enjoy …
The Insatiable
I actually didn’t pick out the movie “The Insatiable.” My daughter did. She didn’t watch it or anything. She was at the movie store with me and my wife told her to pick out a movie for us and it happened to be one on a shelf she could …
Mad Money
Every one wants more money; especially when the economy is the way it is. That’s why I think the movie Mad Money turned out to be a much better film than I expected it to be; it was very easy to relate to.
The film is about three women (and …
Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …
The Haunted Mansion
I am not an Eddie Murphy fan. I wasn’t fond of him back in the days of Saturday Night Live, and I have never liked his comedy bits. He’s way too out of my comfort zone for acceptable and appropriate comedy. That said, the best thing …
FUN WITH DICK AND JANE MOVIE
That movie was hilarious. It is basically about a guy that finds himself without a job and can’t seem to find any other job because of the way he left hs last job. Desperate times call for desperate measures. They decide to do the unthinkable for …
The Illusionist (PG-13, 2006) movie
At first I thought that this movie was going to be like a rip-off of “The Prestige” which starred Christian Bale. But I am quite pleased to report that this movie has a similar storyline, but veers in an entirely different direction. Instead of concentrating fully on …

The Legend of Suram Fortress movie
The Armenian visionary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov is one of my favorite directors through all time. The Legend of Suram Fortress is one of his last films. The narrative is very complex and the visual style is like nothing else. The story is about an old armenian myth that took …
The Holiday movie
I watched this movie about an year ago and fall in love with it. It’s basically a story about two women, one Amanda (Cameron Diaz) a successful american and Iris( Kate Winslet) a british chick. Both have failed in finding the right men and accidently they meet and exchange …

Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Third Season Set
The complete third season of Beast Wars: Transformers on DVD is a letdown. It’s not the fault of the picture or sound quality on the DVD set, although the amount of “extras” is very disappointing, but it’s the episodes that are the real problem. Unlike season two, the scripts …
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a great movie for the whole family. It kept me and my sister who is 7 years old interested throughout the whole movie. The only thing that I would say is that the movie drag out a little bit, they could have made it shorter. It was …

Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …
As Good As It Gets movie
I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …
Horton Hears A Who
I love all sorts of family and children movies and television shows, and Horton Hears A Who is right up at the top of my list of favorites. Horton Hears A Who is a cartoon movie about Horton, an elephant who hears voices coming from a dust ball. What …
Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Movie
Out of all three Transformers films, this film was the best one out of all of them. And I’m not talking about the human performance. More than anything, it was so good to see that Optimus Prime had a much larger role in Transformers Dark of the Moon, than …

Wax Mask movie
An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …
Sleepless in Seatle (movie)
One of my favorite movies starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. My son owns a copy of this movie and every time that it comes on TV I find myself surfing channels and settling on this delightful movie.
Tom Hanks plays this widower with …
Movie: Kung Fu Panda
“Kung Fu Panda” is a 2008 animated film about Po, a fat noodle-selling Panda in China who loves kung fu and dreams of a more exciting life. It is a Dreamworks film, which means it has some decent animation but falls far short of a Pixar movie.
Pros: …
The movie Turner and Hootch
What adult does not remember Turner and Hootch. Although I am not necessarily a Tom Hanks fan, I really enjoyed this movie. It was so cute to me becuase it did a great job of teachong about overcoming difficulties and the curve balls that life throws at you.
Hootch was …

Spirited Away animation
“Spirited Away” presents remarkable detail in the way of animation. The creator of the animation is Hiyao Miyazaki. The storyline itself is highly imaginative. Suffice it to say: much goes into proper animation of a movie. During the process sometimes there is a tendency …
Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …

Weird Science
The last time I watched the movie Weird Science, I was 12 years old and, while I understood some of what was going on, I�ll admit most of the stuff was a bit confusing.
So, when I found it on one of my premium movie channels the other day, I …
The Quiet Ones (2014 Supernatural Horror Movie)
I was actually in the mood to watch a supernatural horror movie yesterday and I couldn’t believe my good luck when I saw a description for a movie on the cable guide that looked like it would be pretty good. I’d never watched a trailer for the movie “The Quiet …
