Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …

As usual, this review will spoil no plot details, so feel free to read without any spoilers.
2 years ago, I haven’t even seen a single Wes Anderson film. Not until I was introduced to a seemingly, picturesque-filled title like “The Grand Budapest Hotel” midyear.
During that time, I believe I …

Haunted Highway is a very strange movie and I have to say that I didn’t like it at all. The movie is about a man who has an affair with a model he’s been photographing for his job. Her love leads him to kill his wife and stuff her …

If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.
Hugh Jackman makes a great Wolverine. His character delivery is very similar to the original 3 movies. I thought his preform ace was good and right on where it needed to be. …

I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. Christmas vacation is easily the worst of the four but I think European Vacation is one of those movies that isn’t as good as the first “Family Vacation” or the last, “Vegas Vacation.”
That’s not to say it is a …

Yet another “in the future the machines will take over the world and destroy all humans” kind of film, this time about a city trying to transport themselves with a time machine but fails. They then face the gruesome cyborgs (part machines, part human) who threaten to kill them …

A lot can be said about the movie Live Free Or Die Hard. First of all, if you are a fan for action flick Bruce Willis, chances are you will enjoy this show. The other fact is if you are not a Bruce Willis fan, but a …

This is a great movie which has all the right things, such as a good story and a great director as well as a wonderful cast. The director of “The Inside Man”, Spike Lee managed to produce a good movie in just 39 days of shooting.
“The Inside Man” is …

I was looking for some movies for my daughter to watch while home on Christmas break and came across A Martian Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect from the animated movie, but I figured it was worth watching considering it is almost Christmas.
The movie ended up being better …

An animated film by famous japanese director Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli. It is the story of a young woman named Mononoke who was raised by wild animals in the woods. This is not a realistic film, more of a fairytale with lots of supernatural things taking place. …

The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …

I was greatly disappointed in this movie because of the fact that the movie was not very close to the series that was shown on Nickelodeon. Yes, there were the main characters that were supposed to be there but the truth is that if you’ve never seen the cartoon …

I was anticipating this action/thriller movie from Angelina Jolie and had really high expections since she does action movies really well and sometimes with her own stunts, but after watching this movie I was quite disappointed as I thought it had a very anti-climactic moment at the peak of …

“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …

When the actor, Michael Douglas chooses to do a thriller, 99.9% it is a guarantee that is going to be a good one. “The Sentinel” confirms this theory. Douglas involvement in this project is simply great. His on screen sparks with Kiefer Sutherland are a guarantee to make you …

When I heard that the Transformers was going to be made into a movie, I was so looking forward to it. I was in grade school during the 80’s when the cartoons became so popular on TV. There were even toys sold everywhere for every character. I wondered how …

I missed the second Scorpion King movie and I have no idea how I came to watch the third - but suffice to say I didn’t go into this film with my expectations held high. The only reason I decided to give this a go was because I’d seen that …

You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …

What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …

Another drama movie that I have watched would be Living the Dream. This is about making a change in life kind of story, but having some form of hindrance at the same time.
It tells about Brenda, and Jonathan, an immigrant person. Both of them grew up from …

The Longest Day has always been an amazing recounting of D-Day, the sixth of June. It’s probably my favorite of all of the World War II movies that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a ton over the decades. The stellar cast of The Longest Day goes a …

The Incredibles.
This is the first Super Heroes’ film I have ever seen, that has a focus on a family.
This is very positive, as our children can see and extract from the film, the idea of na united family, solving their problems always joined.
The story runs in Metroville, a place …

I have never been a fan of documentary films before. But since the time I decided to really immerse myself in different films, I have learned that movies should have no boundaries. That I should take away my preferences and just watch about everything. The result of this self-induced process …

Well, I finally got around to watching the movie G-Force with my oldest daughter last night; as I have been promising her I would do for some time now.
You know what, the movie really wasn’t worth the wait.
I will say the film did have some cute and funny moments. …

My wife and I picked out the movie “There Will Be Blood” because it looked and sounded like it would be a great action film.
They should have called the movie “There Will be Boredom.”
I won’t say it was a bad movie, because, from what I saw of it, it …

When I first saw the cartoon “Total Drama Island” advertising on Cartoon Network, I could only think that it was quite an interesting plot and setting for a cartoon. I had never actually seen a reality show cartoon except for the “Drawn Together” series which aired for some time …

I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …

The Dark Knight Rises is a good film! A really good film! Sure, there are a few problems with it but nothing there that really ruins this masterpiece!
The only thing you need to be aware of is that there is less Batman than in the Dark Knight because it …

Alright, you probably now about the movie Gladiator by now. You’ve heard the stories about its gore and fighting. Well honestly, you have too see this movie. It is superb. Russell Crowe is at his finest moment of acting in this movie. HE plays the main character so well …

It’s funny when I think about it, but I never wanted to watch this particular movie because it had Will Farrell and I had hated him ever since I watched the movie ‘Kicking & Screaming’ which was one of the most gawd-awful movies ever made in my opinion, so I …

Friday the 13th part 3 is a movie that makes me laugh, though not in a good way. Part of it is the bad special effects, while a larger part is simply how dated the movie is after all these years. It makes me wonder how they ever based …

The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).
The scenario is unique, with sudden turns, heart-stopping moments and keeping me on my heels wanting more. The film is well budgeted with amazing …

Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …

Housebroken is a movie about parents who want their kids to move out. Well one parent who is played by Danny Devito, the mother (Katey Segal) is content with letting her twenty-ish sons mooch off her and her husband.
The appearance of the DVD cover led me to believe …
