Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
Herbie Fully Loaded Movie
Herbie Fully Loaded is one of those movies that I probably shouldn’t like, but somehow I really loved it. That doesn’t mean I’ll have the movie sitting out where my friends can see it, but I do love it. When I first heard about the movie I was pretty …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …
Seven Year Itch, movie (1955)
Despite over fifty years passing since her death, Marilyn Monroe remains one of cinema’s most renown blonde bombshells. Her sex symbol status was no mystery to me. She had the look that would stop traffic. With Seven Year Itch, she gave film one of its most …
You can count on me movie
Critically acclaimed drama about a woman who alone has to take care of her son. One day her brother comes to visit and things start to change in the relationship betweem the mother and her son.
I do admit that some of the scenes here are heartwarming and that the …
Yoga Hosers, horror comedy
I’m a fan of Kevin Smith’s work. I enjoyed the “View Askewniverse” movies as well as “Red State”. I’ve also enjoyed his podcast “Fatman on Batman”. I have yet to see “Tusk” but I was able to check out it’s sequel/spin-off “Yoga Hosers”.
The fact that this follows …
Juno — the movie
Juno was a movie released a few years ago. It followed the story of a pregnant teenager, from the time she found out she was pregnant via a pregnancy test she bought in a local drugstore, through her decision to put the baby up for adoption, and then …
Movie: Clash of the Titans (2010)
Synopsis: Demi-God Persius must go on a quest to figure out how to kill the Kraken before it is unleashed on Argos after the city’s citizens declare war on the Gods.
What I liked about this movie: I loved the original film that came out in the 80s and this …
The Bucket List (movie)
Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010 Movie)
This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …
Mongolian Chop Squad
Hi my name is Mark and I am an anime fan, I do collect and buy anime series whenever I get my salary. Usually I buy 1 or 2 DVD’s depending on my budget because I have an obligation to my family. Eversince I started watching Japanese cartoons or …
Hot chick movie
‘Hot chick’ is an English movie. It is a very funny movie. Rob Scheneider is the main role in the movie and his is a great performance. Anybody can feel like laughing when they see this movie. Rob’s role is that of a thief. This thief is not a …
The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Elizabeth Swann, the governor’s daughter, is kidnapped by the pirate crew of the Black Pearl. The crew is under a curse: many years ago, they had stolen cursed treasure that had turned them into ghost-like beings, neither living nor dead. Normal in daylight, they turn into decaying skeletons in …
The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of the scariest remake movies I’ve ever seen. The original was filmed in 1977. The author of this Horrible tale is Wes Craven. The theme is nothing supernatural but mainly of unlikely people and it’s rather gross. When I look at it, …
Hotel Rwanda
I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …
Movie Angel and the BAdman
My husband loves watching old westerns on television and one of his favorite actors as is mine is John Wayne. John Wayne it the epitome of what a wetern man should be. We were fortunate enought to cath the picture called the Angel and the Badman. This movie …
Holiday in Handcuffs (2007 Film)
“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …
Wax Mask movie
An italian horror film that was included in a Dario Argento dvd box I got ahold of recently. The strange thing is that Argento did not direct this, so did another man named Sergio Stivaletti.
The film is set in France in the early 20th century. People are getting killed …
Transformers Animated Series - Swoop Action Figure
The Swoop action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is pretty cool but has a few negatives as well. I recently purchased him at Walmart for $11.99. As Transformers fans will know, he is one of the Dinobots - robots that transform into dinosaurs. …
Brideshead Revisited
For those of you who are old enough you will remember the epic 11 hour series Brideshead Revisited which was without a doubt one of the best TV series ever to come out of England. If you go to the movie Brideshead Revisited expecting the same great script and …
Hotel for Dogs Movie
Being a dog lover, my brother bought and gave me this dvd as a present and while I am already in my mid-twenties, I still do enjoy watching movies that are sometimes suitable just for kids, like this movie, and Hotel for Dogs is actually for kids and not …
The Devil Wears Prada
I typically like Anne Hathaway’s movies but the Devil Wears Prada just didn’t do anything for me.
Hathaway plays an up and coming journalism student who takes an internship at a fashion magazine and finds herself going from social outcast to the favorite of her boss (played by Meryl Streep). …
Evan Almighty (2007)
Evan Almighty, directed by Tom Shadyac is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for mild rude humor and some peril. The original release date was June 22, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy and stars Steve Carell as Evan …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …
A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married”
Tyler Perry’s latest film, “Why did I get Married,” is perhaps his best film yet. This well written and directed drama is both inspiring and hilarious.
The films plot centers around a group of married couples who meet in the mountains of Colorado for a couples …
Film: American Gangster
American Gangster…..a good movie. Unfortunatley thats all it is, and all it ever will be. In the Pantheon of Great Gangster Films, this should have been its most recent entry. Instead it falls into the Pantheon of Films that Need A Little More Work. I was so let down …
Faster (2010) Movie
Faster is a movie starring Dwayne Johnson (also known as “The Rock) and Tommy Lee Jones. Wayne Johnson plays “Driver” a man who has just been let out of jail after a ten year sentence. He was sentenced for being the driver of a getaway car in an armed …
The Town Movie (2010)
There were a lot of action flicks at the theatre and they featured this one; we were late for Bruce Willis’ movie Red so we watched this one instead but I was so surprised to find myself enjoying this. It’s a simple action movie which features Ben Affleck, …
Repo Men Movie (2010)
In the future, even the most critical organs in our body will be made artificially, and because of the high price tags, they will also be subjected to credit. And when credit is due, people sometimes could not pay. And when they do not pay, what they bought will …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)
I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …
Sicario (2015 Crime Thriller Movie)
A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …
Hancock
Does Will Smith ever make a bad movie? Other than Ali, I mean. I watched his movie Hancock tonight and, when I got it I didn’t think it was going to be any good. It turned out to be a great film.
The movie takes a different point of view …
Ninja Assassin : The Movie
The main reason why I decided to watch this movie was because this movie concluded my entire fetish in it. I love everything about Ninja things (I love everything about Japan things, and Ninja was originally from Japan, am I right?) and Assassins are also one of my favorite …
Premonotion
This was a very good movie. I was interested throughout the whole movie. I loved it and would like to buy this movie some day. Sandra Bullock plays the main character and she does an amazing job. Even though it goes back and forth a lot in the movie …
Miracle on 34th Street Movie, a John Hughes Production
“Miracle on 34th Street,” the John Hughes production with Richard Attenborough, contains the same inspirational storyline as the original movie and continues to entertain drama lovers today. The remake was filmed in 1995, casting famous actors and actresses, such as Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, and Mara Wilson. Attenborough portrayed …
Mulholland Falls
OK, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge Nick Nolte fan but I just can’t seem to get the movie Mulholland Falls. When it first came out, it looked entertaining. I like thrillers that make me think and thought this film would fit that category. And, having some A-list …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
Milk movie
I recently saw the movie Milk with Sean Penn. He is a really good actor and played this part perfectly. I wasn’t familiar with the real Harvey Milk, but I felt like I was after watching Penn’s portrayal.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay councilmen to be elected …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete First Season
The first season of Beast Wars: Transformers is my second favorite season of the three season series. I like the blend of action, comedy, and the story arcs that the writers began to build and develop in this season that would carry over into the following seasons. The DVD …
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Movie
After some time that I have delayed it I finally managed to find time and go watch the beginning of the new epic trilogy by Peter Jackson, this time based on “The Hobbit” - the first book written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Before I move forward , I would like …
Plan 9 From Outer Space
This movie is considered one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time. It’s directed by the worst director of all time, Ed Wood. So many people hated this movie when it came out in the 1950s. All I have to say is this: I …
Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)
I don’t ever recall seeing an Audrey Hepburn movie in TCM —“ the channel for classic films. Since the movies shown in the channel are largely MGM titles, my theory tells me Audrey Hepburn had simply not played any motion picture produced by this grand movie empire. …
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …
Movie: Maid in Manhattan (2002)
Maid in Manhattan (2002): a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez & Ralph Fiennes (Rated PG-13 for some language/sexual references).
You know this movie. You’ve seen it a million times in the chick flick genre. Throw in a dash of Cinderella, a touch of Notting Hill, just a tad bit …
Fever Pitch (2005)
This movie centers around two people, one of them has followed family tradition and is an advent Red Sox fan, to the point where he has purchased season tickets to see every single game that they have scheduled to play inclusive of practice days. The other, a female who …
The Blood of Fu Manchu movie
“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …
Bad Santa
This movie I thought was one of the most absolutly hilarious movies that I have seen in a really long time. Billy Bob Thorton plays a Santa that you would not want your kids to sit in his lap. He is rude, condescending, and a drunk that cusses way …
Movie License to Wed
Although some may label this movie as a Mandy Moore movie; in reality this comedy is all about the actor, Robin Williams. I personally have a soft spot for Robin Williams because he is simply great in whatever he interprets. In this movie, we see him to interpret the …
