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 …
The Lake House movie
The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …
Quinceaneara (R, 2005) movie
Quinceanera is a really complex film that has several different layers. Those who have no idea what a Quinceanera is, should understand that it is very much like a Sweet Sixteen or a Bar Mitzvah in U.S. culture. The Quinceaneara is really just the foundation for the …
Pet Shop of Horrors Episode 3
Pet Shop of Horrors Episode 3 begins with the police finding the body of a down and out actor Robin Hendrix. Detective Leon finds clues that lead him back to Count D.’s pet shop where Count D. tells him that he sold Mr. Hendrix a rare lizard called …
Ring Out Your Dead movie
I am reviewing the mystery movie, Ring Out Your Dead, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian True-May, directed by Sarah Hellings, and written by Christopher Russell.
In this murder mystery, the church bells tell all. The movie starts with a …
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …
Distant Thunder (1988)
This movie tells the story of a war veteran who has returned from the Vietnam War and is totally unprepared for the day to day activities of regular life. He manages to completely alienate himself from his family and to make matters worse, he moves away to the wilderness …
Dumbo
Dumbo is a timeless animation classic. This movie will forever live in the hearts of those who saw it. I think that the story of the tiny elephant with big ears was very cute and very sad as well. I was very happy as a kid when I saw this …
Left Behind The Movie
Left Behind The Movie is the first in what I consider to be a mini series about the apocalypses. It gives us the writers view point of how he see’s the event happening. Kirk Cameron does a phenomenal job playing the part of the reporter in the movie. It …
Lost in Space movie
A space adventure in which a family travels to outer space to explore new worlds. What they don’t know is that they brought an insane doctor with them who has his very own plans for the mission.
I like the them of space exploring in films, and this film begins …
Mr. Nobody, movie
This movie follows the life and stories of Nemo Nobody, played by Jared Leto. The visuals and story telling in this movie is some of the best I have ever seen, not to mention the music used at many points in the film fit perfectly with the scenes they are …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …
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, …
Slumdog Millionaire
I have always loved watching indie films and Slumdog Millionaire has made it to my list of favorite movies. The story revolves around Jamal Malik, a waiter cum assistant in a call center in Mumbai, India who joins a localized version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. Malik …
Moonraker movie
In this Bond film (the series was starting to get very long by this time, but the creators kept doing them as they were all successful at the box office) the terrible Jaws makes his second appearance to stop Bond from completing his mission, however, the villain appears a …
Escape To Witch Mountain
Another cherished Disney memory from the 70s, I was thrilled when it became available on DVD. Escape to Witch Mountain is the tale of aliens who crashland on Earth. Survivors of the tragedy found refuge on what the surrounding community called Witch Mountain, because of the strange goings-on there.
Tia …
Iron Man (2008)
Marvel Comics makes a modern day film with a great rendition of the comic itself! Robert Downey Jr. plays the Iron Man and does a uniquely interesting job at this role! A major weapons manufacturer Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) has come into contact with his own weapons and …
Money for Nothing,1993 movie
This movie is based on a true story about a guy who found money fallen off of a bank car and decided to keep it. The lucky fellow, Joey, is played by John Cusack. Joey, an unemployed dockworker, can certainly use the money, so at first you somewhat sympathize …

Spice World movie
When the movie Spice World came out in theatres it was all the rage amongst young girls. I never got to see it in theatres myself, but I can remember my friends constantly talking about it and me feeling left out. On the other hand, there were the …
Inception movie
Oh. My. God. If only I could write this review in caps, I would have wholeheartedly done so just to stress how freaking amazing this movie is.
From someone who watched the likes of Rashomon to My Favorite Martian on a daily rotating basis, I sadly found myself living …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
Movie Man of the Year
I wasn’t sure what to think when they cast Robin Williams as a presidential candidate in the movie Man of the Year. But, after watching the film last night, I do think it is better than I expected it to be; though I’m not sure its his best film.
Williams …
Australia (2008, Baz Luhrmann) movie
Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers.
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …
Blade II,movie
After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …
The Breed —“ movie
The Breed is a horror movie that was directed by Wes Craven. The plot of the movie is simple. It concerns a small group of teenagers (the typical age group of victims in horror movies, especially Wes Craven horror movies) who go camping on a remote island. …
30 Days of Night. A Movie
To be fully honest I cannot stand scary movies, I am a much bigger fan of romantic comedies. However while I maybe a romantic comedy person, my husband is not. He loves scary movie and feels that romantic comedies are really boring. That being said every once in …
The Number 23
I watched the DVD movie, The Number 23 before and this story is from the Director Joel Schumacher.
There are lots of mixed feelings and reviews about this movie from my friends and all but I would still go for a positive rating. The main actor in this …
All the Kind Strangers movie
All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world to guide them. …
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
Midway movie
In 1976, Midway was released. This large, star-filled ensemble cast tells the story of the battle of Midway. For me, there are pluses and minuses to this production.
I do enjoy the story of the battle. It was important in World War II, and the story should …
Young At Heart
I recommend everyone to watch this, Young At Heart. This is something that I would recommend any senior citizen to watch. As we grow old, we become more sensitive and prone to feelings that we might not succumb to should we are young.
This movie is about a group …
The Mechanic movie
A professional killer named Arthur Bishop is perhaps the most feared man in the world for his remarkably vicious ways of killing people. One day he is put in a situation where he will teach a new upcoming hitman. This doesn’t really turn out as Bishop had hoped for.
The …
The Guardian
This is that movie about Rescue Swimmers from the US Coast Guard. From the previews I had seen earlier, I had expected it to be mostly all action - terrifying action among huge ocean waves. And the movie did start out that way. In fact, the opening scene is …
Jeepers Creepers Movie
The movie starts…a brother and sister are driving on a lonely back road going home when the mysteriously encounter a maniac driver trying to run them off the road, they happen to see where something was dumped in a drain by this maniac driver, and what do they do…they …
The Parent Trap III movie
Since The Parent Trap II worked with viewers, Disney decided to try it again with The Parent Trap III. My argument up front is that to do so, they had to mess with Susan’s story. In PT II, she was happily married. Here, she’s single again. …
Yes Man Movie
This is one of the many movies I have seen in the theaters, which is the best place to watch really good inspirational movies. That’s what this movie did for me- it inspired me. After watching this movie, I realized all the things I’ve never done and all the …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” 1975, is one ridiculous movie, a treat for a lover of absurdities and slapstick humor. King Arthur and some of his knights are searching for the holy grail. For some reason they ride imaginary horses - yes, that’s right: throughout the movie …
Film Up
Could a thousand balloons filled with helium gas really uproot a house from the ground and send it hovering in the sky for many days? Is it really possible for an old man and a boy to travel inside a flying house in open air without feeling out of …
Take Shelter (2011 movie)
“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …
The Men Who Stare at Goats
I really didn’t know what to expect when I went to the theatre to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats, but from what I had read and seen, I was intrigued enough to actually not wait to see it on DVD, which is unusual for me. Plus, I …
50 First Dates
I’m usually not the type to fall for romantic comedies because they tend to be predictable and sometimes even stupid, in my opinion. This idea, however, did not pertain to the movie 50 First Dates. I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it a …
Terminator Salvation movie
I am a great fan of the Terminator series, and I had been waiting for this film to release from a long time. Last night I went to theater to watch this movie.
Overall it is an enjoyable movie. The story is weak but there are other redeeming factors in …
Brainscan Movie
Brainscan is an older horror movie but an very powerful one. I love Brainscan because it shows us the future we are loving now with 3D virtual reality video games that seem and feel so real to the player. I really liked the cool story about the evil haunted video …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, movie
Like many others who watched and re-watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy multiple times, I had high hopes for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” But, after sitting through the film, I was left very disappointed.
First of all, the film was too long. Now, I understand that “The Hobbit” …
Passengers The Movie
This was the last movie that I have seen while I was in the Philippines. It was last November 23, 2008. I was with my fiance.
Passenger the movie is about a plane that crashed and a woman who is a therapist, played by Anne Hatheway …
DNAngel Episode 2 (Anime)
DNangel Episode 2 deals with Riku Hirada freaking out after she was kissed by Dark to shut her up in the last episode. Risa forms a crush on Dark, much to Daisuke’s dismay.
This episode was a lot of fun, it was also interesting because it revealed more about …
The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
