Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …

Band of Outsiders: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1964)
Musing on another Godard film I watched last night, I still have these fresh thoughts stuck in my head. Watching Godard is never a bore. I recently read an article in the nytimes talking about Paris as a most favored site for shooting movies. This film was …
Netflix
A few years ago I was a bit reluctant to change my normal “video store stop” routine to try a “by mail” service. However after a family member suggested giving it a try during a free trial period, I was instantly hooked! I never thought that …
Hocus Pocus
Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …

I watched this movie last Saturday and decided to share out with you. It’s a story about four friends and their own music band, MAGIC. And then how differences start arising between them after they win a music event and how they again reunite to create MAGIC.
I found the …
Princess Jellyfish Anime Series
Recently, I have been doing an anime marathon. I typically prefer either supernatural/mystery animes, or cute/funny animes. I go one way or the other. And Princess Jellyfish must be the funniest and cutest anime that I have ever seen. It makes me earnestly long for a second season, but …
The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …

A 1980s mixture between horror and comedy in which a teenage boy suspects his neighbour is secretly a vampire who goes around the area to kill people at night. Of course he proves to be right and has to get help from friends and old vampire killers to survive …
Re-Animator
The movie, the Re-Animator, is based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s novel of the same name. It’s a massive gorefest, filled with loads of blood, nudity, and a very addictive theme song. This isn’t what you would call a zombie movie, or a infection or virus movie either, but it …
Fruits Basket Manga
Fruits Baskets is my all time favorite manga, by Natsuki Takaya, about a very optimistic, orphan high school girl named Tohru Honda who’s mother recently died. She lives in the woods while her grandfather is remodeling his house, and finds out she is living on the property of the …

A League Of Their Own (movie)
A League Of Their Own is a movie about women’s baseball. Evidently when World War II was going on, the women were left to fend for themselves, literally, in more ways than one. I knew that during the war, women were leaders in the work force because all the …
Movie One Missed Call
I was really looking forward to watching this movie even though the reviews weren’t favorable. The premise of the movie was that you received a call from yourself telling you how you were going to die. It gave you the exact date and time of when you were going …
Send Me No Flowers movie
Rock Hudson teamed up with DorisDay for Send Me No Flowers, which was a smash hit in 1964. The couple are married in this film outing, playing George and Judy. The problem is that dear old George is a devout hypochondriac. If there’s a disease out …
Wonderland movie

Loser movie
A boy named Paul is what most people would call a “hill-Billy”, a goofy figure from the country who doesn’t really fit in with the city slickers. He’s attending college, but most of the time his room mates just make fun of him. Pretty much everything in Paul’s life …
Awake movie
I actually haven’t heard of nor seen a trailer of the movie Awake. I have learned about it through my friend who had watched it and after he giving me an overview of its story, I instantly want to watch it.

The Last Shot (2004)

Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machine Movie
This film failed in comparison to the two previous films. Not only did it fail to live up to the other two it introduces a female Terminator with limited technological advancement. The T-1000 of Judgement Day was the best of all Terminators. The conclusion to the trilogy left viewers …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet - Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette
I really enjoyed the Weekend at Weeki Wachee featurette which had to deal with the premier weekend for the Warner Brothers’ film, The Incredible Mr. Limpet. These type of movie shorts are fun for me. I love going behind the scenes, both to see how a production …
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell.
This is one funny movie. If it were a 40 year old woman virgin, it would definitely not be that funny; but putting a normal looking man into this predicament is full of hilarious opportunities.
…

Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
The Book Thief (2014 war movie)
I like watching movies and documentaries about people’s lives in World War II because it was a dark period of time in human history and there are many interesting stories to be told. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “The Book Thief”, I definitely wanted to see …

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
I watched this the other day and it was awesome. Audrey Tautou’s performance is really thumbs-up and even though this movie is a long-ago one, I find it super awesome, get what I mean. If you don’t believe, watch it and you will understand what I am trying …

Cadillac Records movie
As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …
Shake Rattle and Roll 9 Movie
It was christmas vacation when we had a reunion and went to Sm Dasmarinas to watch a movie. We had planned to see each other at the cinema. We were very excited eventhough we haven’t decided yet what movie are we going to watch. It wasn’t long until we …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
Movie: The Maze
Synopsis: Five college kids decide to go into a corn maze after hours and, while playing a game of tag, find themselves being stalked by a man wearing a red hoody and a knife.

Postal, comedy action film
Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …

Headless Horseman movie

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I’m not normally a Monty Python fan. I’ve seen his flying circus show and thought it was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched. But, the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is one of the better comedies I’ve seen.
Basically, the movie is set during the time …
Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …
The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
“Mrs. Henderson Presents” was another one of those movies that disappeared from the large screen before I had a chance to see it. I suspect this is true for many people. That’s a pity because “Mrs. Henderson Presents” is a charming, feel-good movie that will leave you feeling both …
