“1408″ (2007) based on a Stephen King Short Story
“1408″ (2007)”1408″ is a 2007 movie filmed in color. It is in English and lasts just over 100 minutes. The movie is taken from a short story by Stephen King. Unlike some of his short stories that lend themselves to thoughtful, rich stories, such as “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Heats …
The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.
…
Bounty Hunter Bountifully Boring
The movie stars Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, each other’s exes from their short lived marriage and preceding short lived dating relationship. He is an ex-cop and has taken on a job as a bounty hunter in order to make his living. It just so happens that …
Insidious: Chapter 3 (supernatural horror movie)
Insidious: Chapter 3 wasn’t on my list of horror movies to watch because I didn’t get the impression that it would be very good especially after watching the trailer. As usual, someone I knew recommended it to me anyway and I decided to try it. It turns out that I …
Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …
George Lopez: America’s Mexican
I love the George Lopez shows, that air on nick. But the stand up I found kind of racy and not to funny. Some parts was more funny I enjoyed the childhood parts but overall I am glad he is proud of his race, but it got to the …
Pollyanna Movie
Pollyanna is a classic, a Disney, feel-good movie with a message to think positively no matter how hopeless life may get. Make lemonade from the lemons is essentially what Pollyanna is about.
Hayley Mills stars as the adorable Pollyanna who is sent to live with her Aunt Polly after …
The Shame movie
Perhaps one of Ingmar Bergman’s most underrated film from the late 1960s, as usual by that time with Liv Ullman and Max von Sydow in the leading roles. It’s very uncharacteristic for Bergman as it deals with the atrocities of war, and this loving couple who are slowly driven …
“The ugly truth” movie
War of male-male amusing. Yes, you can briefly describe the new film makers cult comedy “Legally Blonde.” The ugly truth is another charming, banal story of love that every woman dreams of. On the other hand, this hilarious comedy is not as ephemeral as the others. It can not …
Lean on Me movie
I am reviewing the movie, Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman. This movie is based upon actual events. Morgan Freeman plays a free spirited, gifted, dedicated teacher, who tries his best to teach his kids whatever he can. When he loses his job, he moves on …
Love You to the Stars and Back (2017 Filipino Romantic Comedy Film)
I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …
Movie Waterworld
The movie Waterworld was on cable the other night and, because I haven’t seen it in a while, I decided to sit down and watch it.
I remembered it being much better than it turned out to be.
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I will say he put …

Deep Rising
Deep Rising is a movie show that I’ve watched with my ex-boyfriend before and I really find this story such a B-O-R-E.
Starred by Treat Williams and some other casts, this is a story about some people on a ship and there are some bad guys trying to get …
Passion of the Christ
An intensely moving film, The Passion of the Christ explores the last day of the life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. As a Christian myself, I was led to tears at what I witnessed. So often we go to church every Sunday and forget what the true meaning …
The Bachelor
In a nutshell, “The Bachelor” is all about a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage, which is a reality these days more than ever! The interesting aspect about this movie is that it is a cute, funny romantic comedy that can be enjoyed both by men and …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane movie
The finnish director Renny Harlin is known to many as an action Hollywood director with an uneven career. This is one of his first films in Hollywood about the slight crazy private detective Ford Fairlane who is hired to find a so called groupie, and by that is drawn …
Revenge of the Bridesmaids Movie (2010)
This was a cute little made for tv movie. It is intended for a younger audience if I had to guess. I would say it is appropriate for the ages 8 and up. It has little inappropriate humor, no bad language and only a …
50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …

Adjustment Bureau Movie
I was very excited to see the Adjustment Bureau. I am usually a fan of Matt Damon’s work because he is a very solid actor and has done movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Emily Blunt, although a much newer addition the Hollywood scene has also proven …

Movie Look (R, 2007)
Here is yet another movie that follows people with multiple cameras and angles—”and multiple story lines. If you like movies that have interesting and realistic characters, then this is the film for you. There are several different “vignettes” if you will—”only they are filmed from the perspective …
Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead (movie)
I got hooked on the Masters of Horror series of films when I ordered “Jenifer” from Netflix. I was intrigued by the amount of gore and the uncensored approach to many adult topics. This film, however, directed by Tobe Hooper left so much to be …

Sanctum Movie
This movie really interested and intrigued me since I love swimming and everything outdoors and my husband was a licensed diver himself, and we wanted to watch this since we thought we could relate to the movie, and we did. The movie is called Sanctum and they say the …
Last Days movie
Gus Van Sant is next to Jim Jarmusch probably the most interesting american independent filmmaker from the last 15 to 20 years. Last Days is his film that apparently tells the story of the last days of legendary Nirvana-member Kurt Cobain. The autentic names and songs in the Cobains …
Inspector Gadget movie
Inspector gadget is complete gizmo movie with unrealistic and unimaginable twisys and turns. Though the movie is completely unrealistic it has some good performances by Matthew Broderick both as the gadget inspector and evil robot and by Rupert Everett. The movie starts with the female lead Brenda and …
Looney Tunes Back in Action
Normally, if there’s a movie that features cartoon characters talking to real actors, I’m not a huge fan.
Not that movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam didn’t have their moments; they just were a bit too corny for my tastes.
Looney Tunes Back in Action still fits that …

Sleepwalkers (1992)
This horror movie like most horror movies goes, does not start off like your regular horror movie or does it. LOL, from the beginning, this movie has introduced the viewing audience that there are creatures in this world since the dawn of time known as sleepwalkers, and the main …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.
“National Treasure: Book of Secrets” has …
Movie Eragon
When I first saw the movie “Eragon” being advertised to be released in theatres, I wanted to see it since I also like fantasy films and it looked like a fantasy movie which I might just love. However, since I had no one to see it with, I …
Addams Family Movie
The bizarre Addams family awaits their beloved uncle Fester to return from his travels. What they don’t notice when he arrives is that crooks have taken his identity for mysterious purposes.

Ghost Dad movie
This is known as one of the worst films that Bill Cosby was in .This is ironic sense it was directed by Sidney Poitier who is known to be a great producer.Why did the movie get the bad rap that it did.
The main thing thats wrong with this movie …
Bad Teacher 2011 movie
I was waiting for Bad Teacher to premiere so badly. First of all, I see pictures of Bad Teacher everywhere: on billboards, on bus stops, etc. It keeps on getting in my head everyday. Secondly, the commercials look awesome. It looks absolutely hilarious. Last but not least, I love …

Envy (2004)
I thought this movie was going to be hilarious, perhaps in a silly way, but very funny nevertheless. After all, it’s got Ben Stiller and Jack Black, come on, they know how to provide some good laughs! Well, it turns out that even these two funnymen can’t do much …
Fame (2009) movie
Recently, I watched the 2009 remake of the innovative film, Fame, which spawned a hit TV series. I wasn’t sure how I’d react to it. I liked the original movie, and I adored the series, so this movie had a lot to live up to.
The first thing …
Shrek Forever After in 3D Movie
My brother gave me passes for the premiere of Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the ogre-starring computer-animated movie franchise. We managed to see the 3D version.
