Swordfish movie
Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …
Session 9- movie
“Session 9” is a brightly filmed -dark themed movie starring David Caruso and Peter Mullen. A group of excavators invade an old asylum to remove asbestos and other harmful materials. The asylum has been abandoned for several years (save for the occasional squatters mentioned in the beginning …
Get Smart
In “Get Smart” we get to see the unlikely couple Steve Carell and Anne Hathway team up to beat the enemy. What is so great about this movie is that you find it very difficult to imagine these two persons as a couple due to …
SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Pride & Prejudice 2006
I am reviewing the new version of Pride and Prejudice that was made in 2006, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth and Matthew MacFadyen as Darcy. Others starring included Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn. After watching this version after the A&E version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …
National Treasure movie
National Treasure is widely acknowledged as a bad movie. If you go into this movie expecting the next Indiana Jones, then yes, you will be disappointed and while I agree that it is not perfect, I found to be an entertaining movie. The movie is basically about …
Sex InThe City-Complete Series Gift Set
For a little under $200, you can own every single episode of Sex in the City ever made. This television show was highly popular on HBO for many years, and at one point was the only reason I subscribed to cable in my home.
This are great episodes to watch …
The Town Went Wild movie
The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …
Aliens
Females kick butt in this 1985 follow-up to the eerie and moody Ridley Scott classic Alien. James Cameron was at the helm of this production and wisely tried to stay clear from making a carbon copy of Scott’s cult film, deciding to go for a full out action film …
A Bug’s Life animation film
I really like this animation film so much. Although I am already an adult I still find it a very enjoyable one. I love it so much since it has a lot of lessons learned. As a viewer it left me with lots of points to ponder on. I …
The Amazing Spiderman (movie)
Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
Taken Movie
I watched Taken for how many times now and this movie never fails to give me excitement. It stars Liam Neeson as the father of a girl that was kidnapped in Paris by Albanians. The story not only pure action and little drama, it also gives lesson for other …
X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
Letters To Juliet Movie (2010)
Amanda Seyfried had been recently into wholesome love-story romantic movies which involves comedy and romance, so when I saw the trailer for this I was waiting for the film to be shown already. When I watched this movie, I felt as if I was also in the movie because …
The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …
The movie The condemn
I so freaking loved the movie the condemn for so many reasons! First off the movie is about 2 hours long but in all honesty there are no boring parts to this movie and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time watching it.
The actors are …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Third Season Set
The complete third season of Beast Wars: Transformers on DVD is a letdown. It’s not the fault of the picture or sound quality on the DVD set, although the amount of “extras” is very disappointing, but it’s the episodes that are the real problem. Unlike season two, the scripts …

Saving Sarah Cain
Saving Sarah Cain is a movie I stumbled across one day when I was kind of bored of the usual stuff. It grabbed my attention because it was about a city girl raising her sister’s Amish children. It is a great way of learning more about this rather quite …

‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ Movie
I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …

Cannibal Holocaust
This is one of the most controversial movies of all time for its animal cruelty and scenes of extreme violence and realistic gore. The movie was released around 1980 and this could possibly be an excuse for some of the low quality and bad acting, but this goes beyond …

27 Dresses
Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …
She’s The Man comedy
This is one of my favorite comedies. There are a lot of funny parts in it. It is more of a girls movie but I know a couple of guys who enjoyed the movie. It was a great comedy movie. There are a couple of parts where Amanda Bynes …
My Bill movie
Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.
We have a mother of four, whose husband is dead, and who is struggling to make sure her kids continue …
Transformers Animated Series - Black Arachnia Action Figure
Black Arachnia is one of the Decepticons in the Transformers Animated Series toy line. She is unusual in that she is one of the few female Transformers. One must wonder what gender would even mean in terms of robots, but I digress. She is a neat …
The Devil Wore Prada
Like most movies I have an interest in seeing, this one disappeared from the cinemas before I had a chance to see it. I enjoyed it even though it contained many of the things I mentioned in my review of “Little Miss Sunshine” as things that could be …
Movie: Curious George
A couple years ago, when my oldest daughter was just two or three, the film Curious George came out on DVD and I remember her loving it so much, she watched it several times in one week.
Our youngest daughter is starting to get interested in TV and movies now …
The Contract (R, 2006) movie
Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …
Cheers for Miss Bishop movie
Cheers for Miss Bishop is a classic film from 1941 which starred Martha Scott in the title role of Ella Bishop. My problem, and pretty much my only problem, is that while the makeup was good, it didn’t quite hook me. We see Scott transform from a …
Spiderman:The Movie
I watched Spiderman a while back and loved it. Since then, I have also seen Spiderman 2 and 3. When I took out the old film to watch, I was a little surprised at how phony the graphics looked. I had thought that they were so realistic when I …

Ghoulies II movie
Because we had rented the first Ghoulies movie this weekend, my wife and I decided we should watch the second one too. And, we did, despite the fact we hated the first movie.
The sequel is surprisingly better than the first one. But, that really shouldn’t be saying much because …
Dinosaur Movie

Kill Bill Volume 1
I always like Uma thurman movie, like this one, Kill Bill volume 1. She’s always good in acting especially in action movie. Kill Bill volume 1 is based from a book from an unofficial casebook by D.K Holm as author.

“Nine” the movie 2010
I rented the musical “Nine” because of it’s stars– in particular, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz, two of my favorites. I had seen Kidman in Moulin Rouge so I knew she could pull off a musical. I was a bit disappointed in the film. Now I have to admit, …
The Number 23
I keep asking one question. ” why?” Why did someone decide to write this screenplay? Why did Joel Schumaker agree to make this film? Why did a production company think this would make a good movie idea? Why would Jim Carrey follow up a career in more serious films …
Meet the Parents - (2000)
Have you guys ever watch Meet the Parents starring Ben Stiller before? It is super hilarious and this is the movie before Meet the Fockers, which I have reviewed not so long ago.

Meet The Parents (Film)
Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …
Meet the Robinsons
Lately, when I’ve seen a Disney cartoon, I’ve been very disappointed in it. It seems Disney makes an effort to make a children’s cartoon but, in the interest of attracting an older crowd, always tries to make the cartoon more adult. The end result is nobody really enjoys it.
Meet …
