Arthur and the Invisibles movie
One of the things which really stuck out about the partly animated “Arthur and the Invisibles” was the animation. I can remember thinking it was unlike any I had ever seen and it helped to rekindle my excitement of wanting to go into animation and special effects in the …
The departed movie
During the weekend, I went to watch “The departed” played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson. About ten minutes into the movie, I realized that I have watched a Chinese version of this movie. The difference is “The departed” combines all three sequels of the Chinese version. …
Ghost Ship
If you want to see a scary movie, I would recommend renting the film Ghost Ship. My wife and I watched this film some time ago and she still refuses to watch it with me again. She’s not normally a person who gets scared by movies like this but …

Let’s Go Collegiate movie
Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …
Film Pretty Woman (1990)
This movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts came out in 1990. When it first came out my mom did not want me to see it because she worried it made prostitution look attractive to kids. Now that I am an adult I do agree …
Your Highness - Unrated (2011 movie)
Sometimes I just need to watch something absurd. I know it’s illogical, but that’s what makes it so funny. Danny McBride is a master of this kind of humor. Ever since I saw him in “Eastbound & Down,” I’ve been a huge fan. It’s also …
The Maid - A Horror Movie
I have seen the DVD and CD of the movie The Maid when I was in the Philippines, but I did not pay attention to it. It didn’t make big on screen. Because I have never heard any news or promotional tour about the movie.

Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)

Josie and the Pussycats movie
I spent a good chunk of my Saturday morning watching movies on some of the movie channels we have a free trial of. One of them was Josie and the Pussycats; a movie I haven’t seen in a while.

Movie The Little Polar Bear
I sat down to watch the movie The Little Polar Bear with my daughter last night and, I’ll admit it, I really wasn’t expecting it to be very good. But, after seeing it, I will say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
The movie focuses on …

Alice in Wonderland movie
I will be honest, I have never even seen the first Alice in Wonderland. I wasn’t even planning on watching this one, but my boyfriend bought it on Blu-Ray and Blu-Rays are pretty expensive so I figured I would watch it with him so he wasn’t wasting his money. …
Ironman 2 movie
After watching the first Ironman movie and finding myself quite impressed by it, and also hearing that the band AC/DC had released another album which was part of the Ironman 2 soundtrack, I found myself very eager to watch it. Even though I had no clue what this sequel …
Fahrenheit 451 Movie
“Fahrenheit 451″ filmed in 1966 and directed by François Truffaut is one bad, boring movie. I am really sorry to say this, but it is. I had read Ray Bradbury’s book titled “Fahrenheit 451″ and I remember enjoying it, so when I saw the movie at our library I …
Birth ( 2004) movie
In 2004, there was quite a controversy surrounding this film starring Nicole Kidman. The premise is simple: Nicole Kidman’s character “Anna” loses her husband. And ten years later, a little boy shows up on her doorstop claiming to be her deceased husband Sean. What …
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead a movie
Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead (2007) is directed by Sidney Lumet and stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Ethan Hawke.

The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Snatch (movie)
I had never heard of the crime drama film “Snatch” until years after it was released in the early 2000s. It stars the famous actor Brad Pitt, and the movie is about two men working as boxing promoters who realize that they can make a lot of money …
13 going 30
“13 going 30″ is one of my favourite movies of the actress, Jennifer Garner. Apart from the fact that the story is a good mix between romance, comedy and fantasy, I feel that this actress together with her on screen partner, Mark Ruffallo make such a great couple.
This movie …
Click movie
Adam Sandler has had both good movies and horrible movies. Fortunately for me, his latest movie Click was a great one.

Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …
Summer of Sam movie
Usually, even if it is poorly made, a movie about a serial killer will have at least a couple of redeeming qualities to it.
When it comes to the movie Summer of Sam, this is definitely not the case.
The movie might have been good if they focused on the actual …
Stalker movie
Tarkovsky’s great masterpiece about three men going on a journey through “the zone”, which is a restricted area where the deepest wish of every man becomes reality.
Tarkovsky’s imagery is completely breathtaking and holds no resemblance to anything else. He’s totally unique in his artistry and is perhaps the closest …
Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988 Film)
The 1988 film starring Sigourney Weaver called “Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey” was something that surprised me. Normally, I am not one to really enjoy films such as these, but this film changed my mine towards movies that capture the real life events of people …
Django Unchained (movie)
One of the most impressive movies that I’ve watched so far this year was “Django Unchained”, which I feel was surprising since when I watched the trailer, I never got the feeling that it might give The Hobbit a run for its money even though I knew it was …
Rugrat’s In Paris movie
Rugrat’s in Paris is a great family movie. This is the sequel to the first Rugrat movie. This movie is about Chuckie’s family growing and his visit overseas to Japan. I liked that this movie is great for children as well as for adults. At least, the adults that …

Oh joy -Herbie rides again (if you will pardon the pun). When I spotted Herbie Fully Loaded in a shop I simply had to have it. Always having loved watching the original movies when they came onto the television it seemed too good to be true that the little …

I can remember when I watched the premiere of the movie “The Ring” on cable. I can’t remember which movie channel brought it, but what I do remember is that even though I did not expect it to be terrifying I still found it a little creepy. I had …

Borderland is one of the most convoluted horror movies that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of horror movies over the years. I bought the movie because it was part of the After Dark Horror Fest and I loved most of the movies that they released in …
10,000 BC
I have been hearing alot of talk about the movie 10,000 BC and how the movie would be a very pleasant viewing. But once I have seen it, I was pretty shocked of how my perspective of this “wonderful” movie changed. I really think that the movie was pretty …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Since 2002, I never miss watching Harry Potter on the big screen. I have been so excited with adaptations on the the silver screen even the comic superheroes or highly critical novels which made it to the Academy Awards. It was something that I have to observe and critic …
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is, in my opinion, the best sea faring movie ever made. That is a very bold statement but that shows how much I thought of Master and Commander. I was shocked by how accurate the history was in …
The Man in the Iron Mask
“The Man in the Iron Mask” comes with a lot of luggage for Leonardo diCaprio. The actor was involved in this movie project after he was denied the pleasure of being nominated for an Oscar for his interpretation of Jack in “The Titanic”. His reaction was deemed immature by …
