Dead or Alive
Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …
Erin Brockovich
This is a very beautiful movie. Well, it’s based on the life of activist Erin Brockovich, so there’s nothing much we can do or comment about the plot or story line. Erin lived a very inspiring, albeit controversial life and we owe some respect as to how she lives …

Stargate SG-1 - Broca Divide
“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.

Night and the City Movie
I had some free time this weekend while hanging out with my youngest daughter (it was raining out or I would have taken her outside instead). While taking care of her, I ended up watching a movie from the 1950s, Night and the City.
I had heard of this movie …
Sherlock Holmes movie
From 2009, it’s Robert Downey Jr. starring in Sherlock Holmes and playing the well-known sleuth. Here are a few of my observations.
–The best thing about the movie is the music. It’s powerful and dramatic. It highlights all of the happenings very well. It makes you …
Toy Story 3 in 3D
Toy Story in 3D
Having thoroughly enjoyed Toy Story 1 & 2, I was ecstatic to hear the third chapter was out in theatres. We hurried to our local theatre, paid our $12.50 USD ($3.50 extra for 3D movies) and went directly to our favorite seats, 10th row back, …
Saw V
Look, I’ll be willing to admit the movie Saw and it’s sequel, Saw II were much better than I expected them to be and would recommend them to anyone. But, after a while, you can have only so many sequels before a franchise gets beaten to death. Unfortunately for …

Staged in the years of the 23rd century, after the Earth had been ravaged and left desolate, human society designed a new way of life and are now living in domes, the great domes of the world are connected to each other through the use of interconnected tubes which …
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 …

Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …
1941 movie
I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.

UHF
I was flipping through channels last night and came across the Weird Al Yankovic movie UHF. Since there wasn’t anything better on TV, I figured I would take the time to watch it for the first time in years.
The movie was OK but not as funny as I remembered …
The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Movie: Iron Man 2
When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.
When they came out with the sequel, Iron Man 2, I once again figured it would be a movie …

My Sassy Girl
What I really like about the movie “My Sassy Girl” is that at the beginning it gives you an impression that it just an average romantic movie; however in the last half hour of this movie things change completely. This movie moves from creating to a happy-go-lucky atmosphere to …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Tripping the Rift Season 1 DVD
Tripping the Rift is an unusual show. It has a fairly solid basis as a science fiction spoof: sure it has been done before but there is so much material to be found that there is still much to be done and new fodder is always being developed …

The Grudge is back. And for a while, after being thrilled by the first movie, I was looking forward to this one. But then, because of the trailer for the sequel seemed to give many scares away, I also feared that it would take the thrill out of …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Old School movie

Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
High School Musical: Bubblegum Pop
There’s nothing better than a hot cup of cocoa and a movie. Inasmuch as the acting is flat, the characters vapid and bordering on caricature, the music a work of a bygone age of pop, and a little too wholesome for high school, I had an amazing time watching …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
Madagascar movie
Take a hypocondriac giraffe, an existential zebra, a tough-girl hippopotamus, and a classic New Yorker lion, transport them from the comforts of the best zoo in the world (Central Park) to the wilds of Madagascar, and you are bound to find comedy.
True friendship comes through as Alex the lion …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie

Wolverine the Movie
Wolverine the movie is one of the most anticipated fils this year. Marvel goes beyond comics and television. X-men is now conquering the cinema scene.

The arrogant and lonely Logan, …

High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …

In this movie, The Green …
A Little Princess
A Little Princess is a movie made in 1995 that stares Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron and Liam Cunningham. This is a family movie which has an exceptional sweet and sad story. It would be one of the all time best I have seen.
I really do consider this to be …
Step Brothers, movie
Will Farrell is hilarious with John C. Reilly in this comedy of two men who somehow managed to slip through the cracks and who refuse to grow up. I don’t think that this film will win any awards for its quality, but for a laugh fest, it fit’s the …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …
