House:Fidelity
Last night was probably the third time I’ve watched the House episode Fidelity. But, I can’t help by still enjoy every moment of it.
The medical case in this episode actually isn’t anything overly impressive. A woman has all the symptoms of depression but doesn’t have that. And, her sleeping …

A Smoky Mountain Christmas movie
For what it is, A Smoky Mountain Christmas is a decent holiday movie. Dolly Parton stars as a successful country singer (not a big stretch here) who takes off for the mountains for some peace and relaxation.
In the smoky mountains, Lorna Davis (Parton) discovers a group of children …
Kung Fu Panda 2
When Kung Fu Panda first came out a few years ago, I was surprised at how funny it actually was. I would compare the first movie to the Nickelodeon series SpongeBob Squarepants. This is because in both Kung Fu Panda and SpongeBob, there are jokes intended for adults, where …
Cirque du Freak - The Vampire’s Assistant
I recently caught this movie while flipping through HBO, and I had to write a review on it since I’m an avid vampire fan.
Cirque du Freak is a very unique vampire film for it deals with a number of issues that plague teenagers today, like friendship, parents, life and …

Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth, was an extraordinary and visually appealing movie. I was skeptical going into it, because I don’t like foreign films, but I immediately forgot about all my reservations, and just sat back and took the movie in. It was easy to get caught up in, and …
Return to Me movie
Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
This movie was, in a word, charming. I went to this movie with a couple of my friends and I think they enjoyed it too. I haven’t seen any other movies with these actors, but I think I would. The movie was light despite the melancholy setting (right at …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …
Rush Beyond The Lighted Stage
One of the Dvd’s I bought from Walmart the other day was a Documentary about Rush called Beyond The Lighted Stage. This movie discussed the band and also it features a bonus disc with lots of concert footage like the epic performance of La Villa Strangiato at Pinkpop in …
Blue Jasmine (movie)
“Blue Jasmine” was one of those movies that I had neither seen nor heard anything about until I had seen being aired on Starz Cinema. I mostly ignored it for a time but decided to take a chance on it when I saw that the cast had Cate Blanchett …

Apocalypto
Mel Gibson really had his work cut out for him if he was to top the popularity of the Passion of the Christ. Of course, everyone in the world knew how that story went. Jesus is God’s son, he was born, he’s crucified and killed. A story that Gibson …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …

Wedding Wars is about gay entirely. This movie is about 2 brothers, whom have a so called clash, as his brother was about to marry a Governor’s daughter, and his future father-in-law requested that he opposed gay marriages, which offends Shel, played by Stamos.
Stamos is certainly a dishy …
Movie: Star Trek First Contact

Never Been Kissed 1999 movie
Never Been Kissed, with Drew Barrymore, is, in a word, cute. The premise (shy girl gets to go back to high school and try again as part of a newspaper assignment) is fun and resonates with the part of me that knows a lot more than I did when …

Netflix
I did a free trial from netflix a while ago and I also did it a free trial for my cousin not to long ago. The movies took forever to get to me and her both. They are also a little more money than blockbuster. You also can’t take …

My Name is Bruce movie

But, …
MOVIE JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY
I had to write a review on this show: Johnny Dangerously. I HAD to, because I enjoyed it to the nth degree, and I just read a review that gave it a 2!
I think this is one of Michael Keaton’s best films, and it is hilarious! It is set …

Red Eye
We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.
I was definitely wrong. While not as good as other airplane movies, it still was one of the better thrillers I’ve seen.
The main …
