The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
Goodfellas Movie
Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …
Terminator salvation
I already watch this movie in cinemas yesterday. This is the fourth series from terminator movies. I think many new things that are shown and it is very different from the previous movies. For example, the main actor is not Arnold Schwarzeneger anymore, and the world setting is not …
Girls of Rochefort movie
This is a french musical from director Jacques Demy and his wife Agnes Varda. Just is with his more famous The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, it’s all shot in colorful images with beautiful actors. The story is about the people of Rochefort who all seem to bad inluckily in love. …
Exorcism of Emily Rose movie
A true story that is hard to believe by the people.
The movie was focused in the issue of God and Demons. And the most debate-able topic of Catholic church involving to exorcism. There is a lot of situation like this happening around the globe and mostly to asian countries …
“Two Thousand Maniacs” (1964 Film)
In the early ’60s, screenwriter and director Herschell Gordon Lewis created what became known as the “blood trilogy”- three overly-gory films that single-handedly created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. 1964’s Two Thousand Maniacs succeeded Blood Feast as the second installment to this classic trilogy. In my opinion this is …
School of Rock (2003)
When a hard rock guitarist is voted off his band by his fellow members, and with no other form of income with a growing rent debt, he is forced to get his lazy ass out and find himself a real job in order to pay for his way through …
Solar Babies
If you’re looking for a movie to remind you about the worst parts of the 1980s, then you’ll want to rent the science fiction movie Solarbabies.
While the concept behind the movie is a good one, it’s set in the future and water is scarce; something that creates a world …
Pirates of the Carribean- Dead Man’s Chest
It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
Shrek Forever (movie)
I totally forgot about this Shrek movie until my brother reminded me about it some time ago. It’s the fourth Shrek film, and even though I didn’t get the idea that it was as popular as the other movies, I thought that it was every bit as fun and …
Growing Pains movie
I was in about the fifth or sixth grade during the original run of Growing Pains. I can’t even remember what night it came on, I just remember having a huge crush on Kirk Cameron like all the girls I knew my age. He was adorable as Mike Seaver, …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
Memento movie
The beginning of Memento did little to impress me. It was confusing and I was concerned from the start that it just wasn’t going to be my kind of movie. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard, who is suffering from short-term memory loss and is after …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …
The Beach movie
I heard of the movie “The Beach” when I was in my second year of high school. I can remember that it was promoted a lot then and a few of my friends wanted to go and see it in theatres, especially the ones who had managed to buy …

Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix
Since I don’t have time to sit down and read the books, my only knowledge of Harry Potter is through the movies. And, I have to say the movies aren’t getting better as the series progresses.
I had high hopes for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because …
Movie The da Vinci Code
Tom Hanks as an actor is one fantastic person, he can make you believe anything. He is that good. I enjoy his films immensley and will go out of my way to view one that he is starring in. Ron Howard , little Opie from the …
Lantana
Lantana with Anthony LaPaglia, Geoffrey Rush, and Barbara Hershey.
This film was supposed to be a murder mystery but turned out to be a social discussion on the crises facing married couples to make the relationship last. Quite frankly, I fail to understand the movie, but …

Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …

Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
21st Century Breakdown
After 5 years of waiting and waiting for their green day to come out with an new album, i have to say the album was defiantly worth the wait, but nothing more. The album is of course amount my favorites, however it does not surpass dookie as my all …
Forrest Gump
This is one of the old movies that I love to watch over and over again. I love how the story was made and I was amazed by the character of Forrest Gump and it even came to the point that I did a search on the internet if …
Day of the Dead movie
Perhaps not as seminal as Night of the Living Dead, and certainly not as loved as Dawn of the Dead; Day of the Dead often seems the forgotten third child in Romero’s zombie saga. But, whilst it may lack the crude and creepy charm of Night, and the raging …
Beauty and the Beast
We watched this classic last week and were in awe of the production, acting and story line. Jean Cocteau directed Beauty and the Beast in 1947, so you know the movie is worth viewing. Filmed in black and white, spoken in French (but has English subtitles) with the best …
Terminator Genisys (science fiction action movie)
I stopped being a fan of the Terminator franchise some time in the nineties. I guess I just grew our of it all, but when I heard that another one would be released this year I began to reconsider and think about watching it. The newest problem though was that …

Another Cinderellla Story
For Christmas I got the movie “Another Cinderella Story”. I rate this movie as a 7. It was pretty good, and the story line was cute because it goes with this decade.
The movie stars Selena Gomez as Mary. Mary’s mother died and so Mary now lives …
St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …

Firefly
I am an ardent fan of Joss Whedon’s television shows, I have been a fan ever since the start of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and loved every moment of Buffyverse, till the story came to a dramatic conclusion in the Buffy spin-off, Angel.

Baise Moi (movie)
“Baise Moi” is a French movie I watched with English subtitles after a friend recommended it to me. I’d rather not reveal what the title translates to in English here, since it would be extremely inappropriate, however, if the curiosity is too great one can simply go to Google …
The Proposal movie
I was looking forward to seeing The Proposal when it came out this week on DVD, mainly because I think Sandra Bullock is a comedic genius. She also produced this film, and in my opinion, she has a knack for making non-cheesy, seriously funny comedies that also work as …
Me and My Sister
Have you ever meet two sisters or brothers who seem to be completely different from each other, that you ask yourself how could they be related? It did actually happened to me, and I am sure that if you search your memory you will remember of a similar situation. …
Beastly (2011 Film)
The 2011 film “Beastly” starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer and Mary-Kate Olsen, was in a few words—¦a magically romantic success. This film is based on Alex Finn’s 2007 novel that is basically a modern day version of “Beauty and the Beast”. Not only did this film capture the morals …

Dead Birds movie
