Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …
Air Force One the Movie
This is one of my all-time favorite movies which I watch every time I get the chance. AXN featured it this afternoon and even though I know this movie by heart, I could not resist watching it again. This is one of Harrison Ford’s unforgettable movies like Indiana Jones …
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 …
Movie Legend
I am reviewing the movie called Legend. It stars Tom Cruise(Jack), Mia Sara(Lilly), and Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness.
The story is about good and evil competing against each other: a classic. A movie about a young girl’s innocence.
I think of this as a childrens’ movie but …

This episode was pretty good. The animation was nice to look at and the plot was also very good. It …
Bandolero movie
Bandolero was a really strange western with an odd theme that was quirky but alluring. It has a bouncy element to it. I actually like the theme music quite a bit. It fits the movie.
Basically, James Stewart hears about a band of outlaws that have been …

Movie Numb
I am reviewing the movie, Numb, starring Matthew Perry. So there’s this guy. He has a lot of problems. He has depersonalization. This means that everything around him is in a dream state. He doesn’t know whether things are real. They all seem like they’re holograms and unreal. In …
BATMAN (NEW)
This is not your standard cartoon mind Batman movie! I am not sure how children will react to this DVD. The Newest Batman movie, the one that came out only yesterday, Oct 18, 2005, on DVD, is an adult film to me. That should be of high interest to …
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989 movie)
I first saw “The Fabulous Baker Boys” about twenty years ago, but I still catch parts of it now when it shows up on one of the cable channels. The movie is a straightforward drama about brothers Frank and Jack Baker, portrayed by real-life brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges. …
The Blind Side-Movie
I anticipated that as soon as The Blind Side was available on DVD that it would be my goal to see it right away, and I did this past weekend. Just the previews and trailers alone made me cry, so I knew it would be a very heart-warming movie. …
The Fast and the Furious 4
Today I just watch the new movie Fast and Furious 4 in theatre. It’s the sequel of the previous movie Fast and Furious 1,2, and 3. The story is not so different with the previous movie, it’s about catching the bud guy and always involved racing car on it.
In …
Lets Be Cops (movie)
I’m one of those people who strongly believe that it is possible to tell when a movie is not going to be very good. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “Lets Be Cops” for the first time, I knew it was going to be one of …
Pagemaster-movie
The movie Pagemaster is a family oriented fantasy film, starring Macaulay Culkin released in 1994.It is about a young boy, Tyler(Culkin) who pretty much fears everything in the outside world.He bases his life on statistics and is scared that something bad might happen to him at anytime.At one point,his …
Night of the Comet
On the surface, the movie Night of the Comet should be nothing more than a B rated horror flick with no real redeeming qualities. Let’s face facts, having the Earth overrun by zombies isn’t exactly a unique concept.
But, after watching the movie for the first time this past weekend, …
Apocalypto
Apocalypto is truly one of the most unique films I’ve ever seen. Really very interesting. The dialogues are delivered in Yucatec (ancient language during the Mayan civilization) and the actors are all unknown which makes the movie as real as real can be. Arguably Mel Gibson’s best film, Apocalypto …
The Jane Austen Book Club Movie
The movie “The Jane Austen Book Club” was one that I was drawn to immediately upon reading the title. As a huge Jane Austen fan myself I was really excited about the idea of a movie that was centered on her books and the effects the books have on …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …

Back to School movie
I’ve always though Rodney Dangerfield was more annoying than funny and his movie Back to School did nothing to make me change my mind about that.
Dangerfield plays a millionaire who decides to attend college to further his education and in an attempt to get some bonding time with his …
The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)
I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …
Movie One Missed Call
I was really looking forward to watching this movie even though the reviews weren’t favorable. The premise of the movie was that you received a call from yourself telling you how you were going to die. It gave you the exact date and time of when you were going …
Return From Witch Mountain
Sequels, especially Disney sequels, rarely make it, and this one is no exception. Even casting greats like Bette Davis and Christopher Lee was not enough to make this film anything but blaise. This was one story that should have remained untold, leaving Escape To Witch Mountain to stand on …
Movie - “House”
Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …
Kentucky Fried Movie
I was a teenager when I first saw the Kentucky Fried Movie and I remember thinking how it was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
Now, when I watch it, I still think it’s mildly entertaining but it’s not one that I’m overly impressed by.
The whole concept of …

Armageddon
Man, how much cooler can you get? The 1999 movie, Armageddon, is one of my all time favorites. I love Bruce Willis. And for once, he’s not really in his Die Hard McClane character. He’s still a tough as nails oil driller named Harry Stamper who is charged with …

Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …

One of the best and my favorite comedians and actors is Will Smith, he can do comedy as if he was born to do it and act comically, he also has great skills as with Bad Boys and Hancock, and here on Hitch I think this movie really suited …

Brewster’s Millions
I’ve seen the ending to the movie Brewster’s Millions at least a dozen times. But, today was the first time I’ve actually sat down for a couple of hours to watch it.
While I didn’t really find this Richard Pryor comedy all that funny, I do have to say this …
Larry the cable guy: health inspector

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
Countess Dracula
We recently bought the movie Countess Dracula on the budget rack of our local department store. It was one of those movies you could buy really cheap and even have a second feature at the same time. For that reason, we didn’t think it was going to be any …
Till the Clouds Roll By movie
Till the Clouds Roll By is a highly fictionalized account of the life and career of composer Jerome Kern. The sad part of this is that Kern was apparently willing to provide information for this movie, but he died before it even went into production. Thus, because …
