Movies Reviews
Sunshine (UR, 2007)
I watched this film with a little apprehension. I rented it primarily to see if Danny Boyle’s production would capture all the nuances of his other films that I liked. “28 Days Later”, another movie that starred Cilian Murphy–had this really eerie atmosphere that reeked of high …
Ghost World comedy
Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …

The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …

The Wicker Man Remake
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. Of course, at the same time, it is also one of the funniest, solely because it is one of the most pitiful excuses for entertainment I have ever encountered. Which is a …
Hellboy: Sword of Storms
I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …
The English Patient
The words that describe best the movie “The English Patient” is magical and fascinating. This movie, which was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 9 of them, is the director’s Anthony Minghella best movie.
What is so fascinating about this movie is that it consists of two love stories - …
Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …

All About Steve
I enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, because they are generally lighthearted, feel-good romps which also teach a lesson, however cliché, about human nature and kindness. Although she has recently begun to choose roles a little more serious and substantial than her usual romantic comedies, I knew All About Steve would …
Je t’aime, je t’aime movie
A french artsy science fiction film in the same style as La Jetee, this time by Alain Resnais. It is about a man who tried to attempt suicide but survived. He gets involved in an experiment with time travel. The rest is for each viewer’s own interpretation.
Even if I …
My Fair Lady: A Film by George Cukor (1964)
My Fair Lady is definitely one of the best Audrey Hepburn films to date. I’m not enthralled by the designer, Ralph Lauren and his bygone collection inspired from this musical film. But it aroused my interest to watch it anyway. All its posters in Technicolor suggested …

Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …

Get Smart movie
At first I was a bit skeptical about this movie. The trailer seems funny and exciting, but most boring movies do. So when I went to the cinema with my sister to watch something (Hancock excluded because she wanted to watch it with her bf) I have no other …
Clue (movie)

Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006) Movie
This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …
Push movie
I watched the movie Push last weekend with some friends. I really liked the movie. It was much better than I was expecting. Dakota Fanning is such an amazing actress. She was an amazing child actress and I think she may be an even better adult actress. She is …
Idiocracy (R, 2006) movie
I had the opportunity to see this film and was at first turned off by its spoofiness. But then, by the time the main character advanced to the year 2505, I realized exactly what director Mike Judge was trying to say about our society. This politically …

48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …
Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island

Into the Woods (fantasy musical movie)
My thoughts about watching the movie Into the Woods were conflicting because on one hand, I had read a lot of unsatisfactory reviews about it online, while on the other hand the trailer as well as some critics reviews, made the movie seem fairly interesting to me. After watching it …
Zorro, The Gay Blade
Stories or movies from Old California are dear to my heart, being raised in Southern California through my childhood. I think that if a double-feature were in order, this movie should be coupled with The Three Amigos. The comedy is similar.
The comedic strength in this movie stems from brilliant …
Good Luck Chuck
It starts off really good and funny and then the middle is still funny but not as funny as in the middle. It kept me interested the whole movie. The funny parts in the movie were really hilarious and made me laugh. I even re winded a few parts …
The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
