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 …

We saw the sequel to National Treasure Book of Secrets during Christmas break. I like Nicholas Cage, and I enjoyed the first movie so of course we were going to go and see the second movie. This one was not as fast moving as the first, yet I …

Cannibal, DVD Horror film
How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …
Enchanted
I was finally able to watch Enchanted on cable on HBO a couple of weeks ago and I just absolutely love it. I was so used to seeing Disney movies create cartoons and yes, I like it. But this time, they were able to incorporate a magical story with …
Beerfest movie
I think the movie Beerfest was apparently trying somehow to fit into that genre of comedy which focuses mostly on sex, drinking, goofy situations and having fun but still manages to be hilarious. However, I think in this respect Beerfest failed miserably. It was one of the worst excuses …
Wet 2 Straight Remington Hot Iron
My hair is unfortunately very untamable at times. That is, until I was given a hot iron by my sister that has worked wonderfully on my hair without causing any damage or dryness. The Wet 2 Straight hot iron from Remington is a product that any boy or girl …
Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is a disappointing movie mainly because of the lack of an engaging story. Even though the movie will remain as an epitome of fantasy, Alice in Wonderland never grows up to become an amazing work. Tim Burton should have put more effort in interlacing the fantasy …
Flyboys Movie
This is truly an amazing classic movie during the world war, it is a true story that really happened and it stars James Franco as a fighter pilot up in the sky fighting enemies to save his country. He and his friends find it hard as they are always …
Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.
I personally found the ‘iraqi’ scientist, the same actor that plays that dude in ‘Lost’, …
Coneheads
Coneheads was an alright movie. I think it was kind of cheesey and wacky yet funny. The big heads on the cone head people were pretty funny looking. I also liked the acting and voices of the characters in the film. I think the storyline was not very good. It …
The Night Flier, 1997 movie
As you may have guessed, this movie is not for those who seek morals and some points in GMRC but I watched this movie because I thought it was like a Jeepers Creepers type of thing and that it was based on Stephen King’s work but I got disappointed. …

The movie is set six years after the X-Files are closed. Dana Scully is now a doctor at a Catholic hospital, Our Lady of Sorrows while Fox Mulder is some sort of bum after being hunted down by the FBI. They both do not want anything to do with …
Split Second movie
Science Fiction comedy about a man played by Rutger Hauer who goes to look for a hideous monster in London and kill it.
Rutger Hauer is one of the absolutely coolest actors ever in my opinion, but this film is really way to thin and unlogical to convince me. Hauer …
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. …

Kung Fu Panda

Around the World in 80 Days
I can’t remember whether or not I was actually interested in this movie when it was advertising to be released in theatres. I remember thinking about it as “the new Jackie Chan movie” and expected that there would be a lot of action and martial arts involved. It didn’t …
The Glass Menagerie movie
WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …

Terminator Salvation DVD
I am not a big Terminator fan because I always consider that a pretty superficial trilogy of movies but this one really surprised me. Actually when I saw Christian Bale was playing John Connor I immediately knew this film is going to be better than any other Terminator before …
Movie: Sukob
Another movie I am going to comment on was the movie of again, Kris Aquino. But this time, she was with Claudine Baretto, the former teleserye queen of Filipino TV. I remember watching this movie with friends (officemates) when it was still showing in the cinemas. Well it was …
Cadillac Records movie
As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …
Mama Mia!
The movie “Mamma Mia” is 2008 hottest sensation. Even though it recieved mixed reviews from the critics, the public simply loved this movie so much that it was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and became the highest grossing film in Britain of all time. The previous record was …
Mirrors
I was expecting a bit more of a thriller in the movie “Mirrors”; it was a good movie, good sequence and the build up of the story is quite convincing. The story is very nice until, of course towards the end where it gets to be confusing and a …

A Bug’s Life
When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …

An Erotic Werewolf in London Movie DVD
I didn’t like this movie since I believed it was more of a female exploitation movie, which I wasn’t interested in. This was because it contained a lot of female nudity scenes as well as lesbian scenes which made it more resemble soft core pornography than a horror movie. …

Death At A Funeral (Movie)
This movie is called Death At A Funeral and the title is very funny and tricky, and I knew it was going to be a comedy because almost all really good actors who play comedy are here like Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Danny Glover, Keith David, Peter Dinklage, Tracy …
The Painted Veil
The Painted Veilis one of those movies that pull son your heart and evokes emotions you thought dead. It’s a story of two lovers, married for the wrong reasons, end up in the middle of a cholera epidemic in China. Somehow, in themidst of tradgedy and pain, the must …
License To Wed (2007)
Popular Casts : Robin Williams, Mandy Moore, John Krasinski
Watching this movie really reminds me to “Anger Management” by Jack Nicholson so, for the people who love “Anger Management”, make sure that you watch this movie. To be honest, Robin Williams’ acting is still not better than The Genius Jack …

A modern remake of a classic horror where it tells the story of a boy who bears the mark of the devil and who has come to claim the world as his own once he comes of age. For ages the coming was foretold and no one could stop …
Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
Popeye
No matter what the critics say, and they say much, none of which was good, I will always cherish this movie. My hat’s off to the director, the screenwriter, and most importantly the production crew, for turning out a fantastic film that remained true to the comic characters and …
Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …

Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
