Jet Li`s New Movie — Unleashed
Jet Li
UNLEASHED
(Danny The Dog)
This film shows that Jet Li can actually act, he has been in a few movies in the past which have just been all action, but `Unleashed` has a very heartfelt storyline with great actors supporting Jet Li such as Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins …
Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
Movie “Dreamcatcher” (2003)
I am so in love with netflix and the ability to watch movies and tv instantly. Since I don’t have to wait for a movie to come in the mail I am much more willing to try out a movie I have never heard of before. This …
The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …
Bebe’s Kids movie
Bebe’s Kids is an animated/cartoon film based on the standup routine of a portly comedion robin harris who died shortly before the movie was released.It was released in 1992 and featured a primarily african american voice cast and characters.The first part of the film shows a life action comedy …
Stranger Than Fiction (R, 1999)
This quirky little movie stars one of my favorite actresses, Natasha Gregson Wagner. There is something insipid and coy about the roles she tends to play. And her stuffy, rebellious role of “Violet” in this movie is no different. This film is sort of a cat …
Good Luck Chuck
This is a sex-comedy film starring Dave Cook as Charlie Logan and Jessica Alba as Cam.
The story started when Charlie was cursed by a playmate that he won’t find true love in his entire lifetime. After 25 years, when he was dating women, each one that he had sex …

Hansel & Gretel
I wanted a movie my entire family could watch last night and ended up loading Hansel & Gretel on my Netflix player.
While definitely not a kids movie (and a bit scary at times for younger children), this turned out to be a movie everyone in my house enjoyed.
The movie …

This movie tells the true-life story of international gun-runner, people who are paid highly to distribute all manner of weapons across the world. They sell weapons to anyone with enough money to buy them, no questions asked. In Lord of War, it focuses mainly on one of these international …
Mystic Pizza
Mystic Pizza stars the very talented and gorgeous Julia Roberts and when I looked at the DVD cover of this movie, it is really gorgeous with a nice illustration picture altogether. Annabeth Gish stars too and I think the acting’s awesome.
3 sisters with different lives to lead and their …

Stargate: Atlantis 501 “Search and Rescue”
Stargate Atlantis season 5 premiere was one of the things I was really waiting for. With all the spoilers out there, I couldn’t imagine how they will make it work. And oh boy, was it worth it.
The episode is an immediate continuation of the season 4 finale. The building …

Hardly expected because one of the leading characters ,who is in fact Jim Carey,this movie is very good,presenting a dramatic story out of a marvelous idea.The story starts with the two main characters,Joel Barish and Clementine.Joel is a passive,shy guy that is living a dull and nostalgic existence,day …
Get Him to the Greek (movie)
I was never a fan of the actor and comedian Russell Brand, and always wondered what other people saw in him, because I just never thought that he was as hilarious as some people would make him out to be. However, after watching him play a cunning drug addict …
Flicka
Flicka is a movie about a girl named Katie and a wild mustang she names Flicka. Her dad is portrayed by country music singer Tim McGraw. Katie dreams about taking over the family ranch. Her brother however wants to go to college and get as far away from ranch …
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 …
Sydney White
I had heard of the movie Sydney White but never made an effort to watch it until yesterday. I have to admit it was a cute movie.
Amanda Bynes stars in the comedy, which is a modern day rendition of Snow White and the 7 dwarves. Only, it takes place …
Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …
Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
The Langoliers
Adapted from a short story by Stephen King, The Langoliers is yet another entry into the hit and miss catalogue of mini-series and movies based upon his works.
The story itself is both simple and unsettling; a small group of passengers awaken on a commercial plane midflight to find the …
Are We Done Yet movie
As far as movies are concerned, having a family moving into a house that is falling apart has been done so many times it’s hard to count. I mean, haven’t people heard of The Money Pit yet?
Are We Done Yet isn’t anything I haven’t seen before and, other than …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …
Soul Food (1997)
A very entertaining and vivid look into the stereo typical African American family as it shows how family ties are brought together and strengthened through the use of food. I have always heard the saying that goes ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’. Now whether …
The Basketball Diaries
I have watched the movie “The Basketball Diaries” several times, but had not known the name of the film up until recently when I watched it again. It is not to be confused with another American film called “Love and Basketball” which has a completely different plot and setting. …
Slumdog Millionaire
There is certainly no reason for you guys not to watch Slumdog Millionaire. It is a real good movie and I love it so much. The Directing is perfect and superb cast too. Seriously, I came to watch with my group of friends and I was very, …
The Movie Alice In Wonderland
As a child there were not many animated movies that I really did not like, however there were a few. At the top of the list is Alice In Wonderland. This movie really freaked me out!!! I have only seen it twice and will not watch it again.
The …
Movie: Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Synopsis: Tokyo Japan is under attack by a previously extinct dinosaur that is awakened by the H-Bomb and is now looking to destroy the city.

The Blind Side movie
While recently vacationing in Florida, my family and I were hit with the dilemma of nothing-to-do one of the nights we were there. So the family hopped in the car and drove to the nearest movie theater and saw The Blind Side. I was skeptical going in to the …
The 400 Blows: A Film by Francois Truffaut (1959)
Since I sat down and watched A Bout de Souffle aka Breathless on TV monde’s random showings of French classics at slumber hours, I’ve been captivated by French cinema. But way before my interests landed the French new wave genre, I already came across this familiar movie when …

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 …
Mr. Brooks, Bruce A. Evans Movie
At first, I think, a movie with the thriller ‘Old Star’ like Kevin Costner and Demi Moore as the main stars? It feels like déjavu to 90s years? I rather disparaging. 90s era is an era where films Thriller many good outstanding (Silence of the Lambs, Single White Female, …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …
Walt Disney’s Dumbo (1941 Movie)
Last night I watched Dumbo with my wife and 3 year old girl on the TV and I can’t tell you which one of the three enjoyed the movie the most. It’s a charming movie with the right doses of humor that just appeals to the whole family.
Dumbo is …
The Haunted Mansion
This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding Movie
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is probably one of the most hysterical movies that I have ever seen. I watched this movie on Fox the other night and I really enjoyed it. It was the first time that I had ever seen a movie with Nia Vardalos and …
Proof
I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …
Road Show movie
Road Show was a 1941 movie musical that starred Adolphe Menjou, who was one of the mainstays in motion pictures in this era. He was just everywhere. In this picture, he portrays Colonel Carleton Carroway.
The movie also starred Carole Landis as, get this, Penguin Moore. She …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera was the best musical that I have ever watched. The music was beautiful, tantalizing, mesmerizing, and magical. The costumes were perfectly fit in for the theatre at that time, and the sets were expertly built and designed.
I loved this movie. I have watched it …
Movie Cold Mountain
This is a amazing movie. Every one did an amazing job acting. I don’t think that they could have done a better job acting or directing this movie. I loved it and if you haven’t seen it yet you should. Renee Zellweger plays in it and I liked her …
