Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …
The Women movie
When I agreed to take my wife to see the movie “The Women” my first thought was “what have I gotten myself into?” However, after watching it with her, I will admit, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be.
While obviously a classic chick flick, I found …
The Cutting Edge
I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …
The Forbidden Kingdom

B-Movie Classic: The Evil Dead
Way before the Spider-Man movies ever existed, director Sam Raimi made a film called The Evil Dead. This film, in no way, is a blockbuster hit. Evil Dead is a classic bad movie, which was meant to scare, yet at the same time, humor.
The movie stars a young man …
Mirrors movie
I’m not a huge Keifer Sutherland fan so I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife brought home the horror film Mirrors this past weekend.
Actually, to be fair, my doubts really had little to do with Sutherland. I just figured, reading the package, this was going to be …
Cirque du Freak - The Vampire’s Assistant
I recently caught this movie while flipping through HBO, and I had to write a review on it since I’m an avid vampire fan.

My husband and I watched A Perfect Getaway the other night. I thought it was going to be a nice little B-movie. I wasn’t expecting too much from this movie. Good thing or I would have been really disappointed! …
“Whip It” (2009 film)
Like any discerning cinema fan, I’ve always been slightly suspicious of Drew Barrymore. Can she act? It seems for every decent performance she delivers, she chooses some unbelievably soulless project that would make even the finest acting look like a middle-school play. And way too often it seems like …
Lucky You Movie
For any poker fan or romantic Lucky You is a great pick. No movie has kept me more entertained than this classic. It’s about a male poker player who is very talented at the game. He is highly competitive and can’t stand his father who is also a good …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …
Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.
Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brander, an formerly overweight high school student who, 10 years later tries to win the love of his …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …

The Blood of Fu Manchu movie
“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …

The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …
Music & Lyrics (movie)
OK, when I saw the previews for the movie Music & Lyrics, I thought to myself �Oh no, not another Hugh Grant movie. I said that because I figured it would be very sappy and have humor that is a bit to subtle to be enjoyable.

Speed Racer, action film
If there was one movie I wish I would have seen in IMAX, it would have been this movie. Speed Racer on Blu-Ray is probably one of the best looking high-def movies available and, much like Crank, should be a part of any Videophile’s collection. But, I’m getting ahead …
