How I met your mother
I watched a couple episodes of this show called How I met your mother. It has been playing on Lifetime and I got to watch a couple episodes of it. The first episode I watched was alright but the second episode I watched was really funny. It surprised me …
Bad Neighbours (movie)
My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …
Sherlock Holmes’ Terror By Night
When I was younger, I used to watch Sherlock Holmes a lot. I loved these movies, and they were on all the time. Then years passed and I’ve only seen it a few times. Oddly, I don’t seem to enjoy these mysteries as I once did, …
Transformers - The Movie
I grew up with Transformers. I owned Optimus Prime, watched the cartoons, knew the theme song. So there was both great anticipation and a small amount of dread when I heard that Michael Bay was producing a live action, CGI filled Transformers movie. The anticipation came …
Shadowlands Movie
This sad and touching movie is based on the true story of C.S.Lewis and his wife, Joy. C.S.Lewis (Anthony Hopkins), a life long bachelor, meets Joy (Debra Winger) when he is about fifty. They meet through letters: Joy is one of C.S.Lewis’ many readers, and she wrote to him …
Don’s Plum
The first time I watched this movie was when I was either watching a documentary about either the actor Tobey Maguire or the actor Leonardo DiCaprio. However, I can remember recalling that I had never heard of that movie and would someday like to watch it, as it starred …
Betrayal movie
From 1974, Betrayal is a movie I didn’t enjoy watching and which I don’t ever want to see again. I’m actually very sorry I sat through it this one time. The thing is that the description on the DVD case indicated it was another movie called Betrayal, …
Coraline (Film)
I love Tim Burton movies. I think they make great movies for all different ages, with enough of the eerie element to keep me interested. I fell in love after watching a Nightmare before Christmas; the animation was just so different, three dimensional but not of reality. I was …
Uncommon Valor movie
In the early 80’s, I remember watching this movie about Marines going on some kind of special meeting. This was one of those movies that used to air a lot on late night television, long before cable came about for most of us. I loved the movie …
X-Men
The turn of the millenium brought in some great movies, and some not so great movies. It followed the trend of the late nineties by introducing more and more comic book heroes to the ranks of the silver screen. One of my favorite comic books to ever go the …
Religulous (Documentary)
Religulous is a documentary by Larry Charles which features Bill Maher which basically focuses on mocking religious belief, although I will stress now that it primarily only focuses on the Western religions, extremely little to no attention at all is given on the other Wisdom Traditions. I personally find …
Movie: Shrek 4
Synopsis: Shrek returns in this final movie of the series and tries to get his life back in order after being tricked into never being born and put in a position where he needs to make Fiona fall in love with him again in one day or will cease …
Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …
A Few Good Men movie
A Few Good Men is a very good movie and a very powerful film. I think this is one of the best military movies ever made. Even though it did not have many if any gun battles or fights it truly kept you at the edge of your seat and …
The Shawshank Redemption
Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process. Such an intimidating task requires an tremendously capable artist with an indisputable managerial …
The Purple Rose of Cairo,1985 movie
Cecilia (Mia Farrow), a lonely, unhappily married woman, seeks escape in movies. One particular film, “The Purple Rose of Cairo,” becomes her favorite. She comes to see it so often that one of the characters in the movie, Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), notices her and, driven by curiosity, leaves …
Movie Superman
If you super hero fan type than you have to see Superman. It has a great story plot that explains exactly how superman became who he is. Did you know that the movie did so well it came in first in it’s first week? Yes! It’s filled with action, …
XXI Theatre
This XXI Theatre is opened in the most famous mall in Manado, Manado Town Square, or usually called as Mantos. For the first time it opened, XXI had just four studios but, as the Indonesian Movies gets booming, XXI expanded its movie studios to be six studios.
XXI has …

Bad Boys II Movie
This movie is an action-packed movie starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence and I really liked how Michael Bay directed the movie; it wasn’t too exaggerated and there weren’t any boring parts and even though there were scenes that were really extravagant and too impossible to happen in real …
Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde (2003)
As if the first movie was not bad enough for the viewers, there is now this load of what can only be called utter crap of a movie. This time, it is now Elle’s job to bring a voice to the animals when she discovers that her dog’s mother …
The Eye
Most of the time, when I watch a so-called thriller, I find it to be more boring than scary. In fact, I usually find myself laughing at scenes that should be terrifying me.
This wasn’t the case with the movie The Eye. I have to say, after watching it last …
The Notebook movie
The Notebook movie is real horrible and I never could quite get why people liked it so much. The book was ok but the movie was horrid. First off the actress they got to play the main role was awesome and she played the character well but the main …
Made of Honor
Another new released movie, Made of Honor is one of the best movies that I’ve watched. I’m not bluffing alright. I could see the same lines of this movie in a novel and I would still enjoy reading it the same.
It stars my hunky favorite actor, whom …
An Unfinished Affair (movie)
An Unfinished Affair is a movie about a man who cheats on his wife with a beautiful young woman. The young woman, Sheila, is played very well by the sly Jennie Garth. Sheila cannot get past that her lover, Alex, calls off the affair. She vows revenge. Of …
Field of Dreams movie
Field of Dreams is one terrific motion picture. It has that special magical quality that takes a film beyond being just good. Kevin Costner and Amy Madigan star as a happily wed couple who buy a farm in Iowa. As they proceed with making a successful …
The Nativity Story movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story, which came out in 2006. This movie starred Keisha Castle-Hughes as Mary, and Oscar Isaac as Joseph. The movie told the story of Mary’s life, and the birth of Jesus. I really liked this movie, but there were some things …
Failure to Launch
I must admit that I prefer the on screen couple, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson however the on screen couple presented in the romantic comedy “Failure to Launch” with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t bad at all. These two actors managed to present a romantic comedy which is …
Akeelah and the Bee
Akeelah and the Bee is a sweet movie that is good for the whole family. It is about a young African American girl who lives in a poor part of the city. Her school is falling apart and not known for being a good school. Akeelah is her …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Miss Potter (2006) starring Renee Zellweger
This 2007 movie “Miss Potter” is, as the tagline says, “the most enchanting tale of all.” The color movie is in English and runs for 92 minutes. Much of the movie was filmed on location in East Sussex, England. The movie is rich with scenery and beautiful landscapes that …
Underworld: Awakening Movie (aka Underworld 4) (2012)
I watched the new Underworld: Awakening(Underworld 4) movie in 3D, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. I’ve watched the entire series and loved them all, except for the third one, which I found to be quite boring and unnecessary to the story line. I …
Kill Bill Part 1 Starring Uma Thurman
I was bored today and so I decided to watch a DVD. I thought I should watch and action film. I’ve never seen Uma Thurman in an action film except in that Batman Movie Series. So, I finally decided to watch Kill Bill part 1.
I forgot the names of …
Movie: Elf
The family is in bed early tonight. And, since I don’t have much else to do, I’m sitting on the couch watching the movie Elf.
I have seen this Will Ferrell Movie at least a dozen times now and, like most Christmas classics, it is a movie I just cannot …
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 …
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
I have to say that I loved Ace Ventura Pet Detective the first time I saw it. I must say this is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jim Carey was at his very best in this movie. This was back in the …
Movie: “Enchanted” (2007)
“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.
It starts with a beautifully animated sequence; the lovely (and relentlessly upbeat) Princess Giselle lives in …
The Twilight Zone episode “Placebo Effect” (2003)
“Placebo Effect” is a Twilight Zone episode featuring Sidney Poitier’s daughter, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, who plays Dr. Leslie Coburn.

Maybe Logic Documentary
Maybe Logic is a documentary on the life and thought of Robert Anton Wilson. Wilson is best known for his “Illuminatus Trilogy” written with Robert Shea (The Illuminatus Trilogy was, prior to watching this documentary, my only contact with the work of the man).
The documentary is really quite …
Scary Movie (2000)
This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
Jumanji
Almost ten years ago there was this movie that starred Robin WIlliams, in a movie that was called Jumanji.
This movie starts off with a Alan ( later played by Robin Williams) as the wealthy son of the local business man. He is small for his age and …
The Legend of Zorro 2005 (movie)
As someone who loved the original, The Legend of Zorro was a hugely disappointing sequel. The scenery was still beautiful and I still liked the main actors, and the humor still made me laugh, but the magic was lost. The dignity of the first was abandoned in …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies.
There are quite a few laughable plots, especially …
The Feminine Touch movie
Overall, I like The Feminine Touch, a classic movie from 1941. It’s a bit of a comedy with dramatic undertones. Rosalind Russell stars as Julie Hathaway, the wife of an aspiring author, who is preparing his manuscript about jealousy and how wrong it is. Don Ameche …
The X Files: I Want To Believe Movie
Just about 12 hours ago, I went to see the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie. I knew there was a lot of mixed reviews in regards to the movie, but I really wanted to see for myself as I am an X-Files fan at heart.
I went and saw …
Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
Mr and Mrs Smith
‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ is an English movie and an interesting one. Mr and Mrs Smith are a married couple. In the movie, differences and conflicts arise between them. They lose patience with each other. On the surface, both of them are innocent people. Nobody would guess that they …
