Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …

You will probably notice how much I love this movie through my pen name.I bought each DVD before, and then after the final movie i have decided that I should purchased the complete Lord of the rings limited edition DVD package. This is like a definitely-must have to all …

The Dark Night
I have been a Batman fan since I was about five years old. In that time, I’ve followed every Batman movie made, from the good to the really bad.
I enjoyed “Batman Begins,” but it didn’t capture my imagination is the way I hoped it would. …
Sisters (movie)
Sisters is about two evil sisters, Danielle and Dominique. Danielle and Dominique are twins who are pretty weird. In fact, this entire movie is weird and full of gore and guts. It seems that Danielle and Dominique will not let anything stand in their way, and they stand up …

Wild About Harry film
I actually liked the movie “Wild About Harry” because it was differnt from a lot of comedy films which I have seen. I also thought it was hilarious even though I don’t think that it could put put in the category of exceptionally good films. I usually find myself …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
The Movie Sleepy Hollow
When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …

The Odd Couple
Coming from the mind of Neil Simon, 1968’s The Odd Couple was a pure delight. Simon created two opposing characters in Felix Unger, a photographer, and Oscar Madison, a sports writer. Unger was neat to an extreme, while Madison was the king of mess. Having these …

Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Fast and Furious 4 (2009)
One of the most disappointing movies of the year, Fast and Furious 4 was a flat, uninteresting film. I was dismayed that even the actors came out flat here. It came off like a bad “made for TV” low budget movie. There are no twists or events …
Bad Santa
This movie is simply disgusting. I don’t know what they were thinking when filming it? Hoping to spoil Christmas for everyone, and especially for kids? The mention of Santa in the title would certainly draw families and kids to see this - and they shouldn’t. The Santa here is …
Wolfman (2010) movie
Since I had already watched the older version of this movie once or twice, and had some respect for it, when someone told me that a newer version was coming out earlier on this year, I couldn’t wait to see it. I had all these expectations that whomever was …
Matt’s Million movie
When I began watching this British movie, I thought, “Definitely not Hollywood.” I don’t know how to describe it, but the movie had this simplistic, almost amateur feel. However, very soon I stopped noticing it.
The story itself is not very original: a teenage boy unexpectedly becomes a millionaire. I …
The Lion King
I love everything about this movie. It was very funny. The animation was fantastic.
I first watched this in the theatre when I was in college. It was in the year 1994 when ‘The Lion King’ was in every movie house around the metropolis.
Of course the magnificence …
Room (2015 Film)
Personally, I consider a film to be great if it had any impact towards me after watching it. These films are very rare. I love films when I see them simply because I don’t have time for bad movies. I look for recommendations, I look for ratings and I look …

We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …
The Dead Girl movie
Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …
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 …
Wolf Creek film

Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
Chiedimi se sono felice movie
Yesternight, I watched this movie, from three Italian Actors that are rather famous here in Italy. They are called by their first names, know as Giacomo, Aldo and Giovanni, which are in fact also their characters’ names in the films they’re also (!) making on their own.
I had seen …
Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …
Alien 1 1979 Director’s Cut Blu-Ray Movie
Alien. Just the name of the movie series has inspired fear and the knowledge that I was going to see some kind of creepy and out-of-this-world frightening creature that was going to come out of the darkness and shadows to make me want to jump out of my skin. …

Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …
Canterbury Tales movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s adaptation of the classic novel by Geoffrey Chaucer about pilgrims who tell their dirty stories to each other.
This was made in a time where Pasolini was constantly taking new turns in his filmmaking and in my opinion getting further away from his original genius in his …
Ratatouille
I hate rats so I wasn’t so keen on watching the animated movie Ratatouille. But constant prodding by my bestfriend to see the movie made me give in. Plus the fact that alot of people say it’s a nice movie. Indeed it is. From Pixar Animation Studios and Walt …

Most people dream of winning the lottery or going on a long vacation? Chris McCandless dreamed of living in the wild and made 100% sure that nothing and no one got in the way from making his dream come true.

Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride movie
For me, the bride in Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride was too pouty and snooty, even though we know she’s innocent because Perry is defending her. I just didn’t like her look. In fact, the entire opening bit at the wedding of Perry’s old …

Resident Evil Movie

Grease (1978)
Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …
Zathura movie
I know this movie is a rip off of Jumanji and was therefore given a bad rating, but in all honesty this was actually a pretty good movie. It is especially great for kids witht the exception that the younger brother calls his sibling a dick. This …
The Brat Pack
Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …
The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
