Movies Reviews
American Psycho
Yesterday I watched American Psycho, which was filmed in the year 2000. It is a very good movie and it is based on a book by Bret Easton Ellis. It takes place in 80’s in New York. The main character is Patrick Bateman, who is played by Christian Bale. …
Terminator Movie
This is a GREAT movie…nothing short of GREAT. A killer is sent back in time to erase the mother of the leader of a revolutionary group and as the film goes, the killer has a very hard time trying to capture and eradicate this problem. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as …
The Prestige movie
“The Prestige” starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and Michael Caine is one of the best movies that I’ve seen in a while. The storyline follows the careers of rival magicians while their mentor is always in the background playing some small part. The thing that I loved the most …
Ever Theater
There are only two movie houses in this part of the country– a fact quite interesting knowing that this place is considered as university town.
Ever theater is situated right in the heart of the city, inside a smaller shopping location of …
Van Helsing movie
An insane mix of all horror stories that involves Count Dracula, Frankenstein and werewolves. Van Helsing is the historian and philosopher who is an expert on vampires and is given the secret mission of killing Count Dracula in Transylvania. If it ended with that the story might have been …
Step Brothers movie
I received the movie “Stepbrothers” in my mail from blockbuster by mail a few days ago and watched it that day. Overall it was a good movie. My only complaint about it is that I felt like something was missing in it. I also think they showed too many …
Elf
I’m still watching Christmas movies today, mostly because there isn’t a whole lot for me to do with everyone being sick and us being low on cash (yet again).
One movie that just came on that I haven’t seen in a while is the Will Ferrell film, Elf. I have …
Now You See Me (movie)
One of the movies that I was lucky enough to watch on DVD recently was the movie “Now You See Me”. The first time that I had actually heard about this movie was when someone encouraged me to watch its trailer around three or so weeks before the movie …
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
MPAA Rating - Not Rated
Starring: Judith O’Dea, Duane Jones, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman
George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead is a staple film in the horror genre. It broke the ground for today’s zombie films, and will forever have a place in history.
Night of the Living Dead tells …
From Dusk Till Dawn
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …
Poseidon movie
It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.
I …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …
Avatar - 2009 Movie
I really enjoyed this movie. I found Avatar to definitely be worth the price of admission (we saw it in IMAX 3-d, so it cost more than the usual steep movie price).
I know that the story was rather slim - in fact, everyone knew what was going to happen …
Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
Are We There Yet? (2005 movie)
Nick (Ice Cube), a small shop owner, falls for Suzanne (Nia Long), a single mother of two. As he begins courting her, Nick soon discovers that her kids, jealous and protective of their mother, will be the ones he needs to impress and win over first. Besides, it would …
The Hound of the Baskervilles
I am reviewing The Hound of the Baskervilles, a Sherlock Holmes movie produced by Granada in the late 80’s. This movie stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. Holmes is hired by Dr. Mortimer, a man who is concerned for his friend, Sir …
Jack the Giant Slayer (movie)
Even though I have not watched many movies this summer as a result of a lack of time, the movie “Jack the Giant Slayer” was one of the very few that I did, especially since I was looking forward to seeing it ever since I first saw the trailer …
Bingo movie
Bingo is a movie about a dog who runs away from the circus in search of a boy to play with and a good home. He saves a boy named Chuckie who has trouble fitting in with other boys and almost drowns. The problem is Chuckie’s parents …
The Unborn (2009) movie
The Unborn, directed by David S. Goyer and starring Odette Yustman, Gary Oldman, and Meagan Good is a movie with a lot of scary visuals. The story concerns a young woman named Casey. She finds herself haunted by strange dreams of a malevolent child. When she begins to see …
The Incredibles
This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …
Letters to Juliet movie
As a guy, it’s hard to admit that I love chick flicks. If the story is really good, I actually really to like a good romance. However, over the years, romantic movies seem to have waned in quality, leaving behind the charm of movies such as Breakfast …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Many current science fiction movies rely heavily on special effects and don’t always have the best scripts. Those movie producers should do more research into The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The movie doesn’t have a lot of special effects, even by 1950s standards but is still a memorable science …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …
Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.
The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of …
The Help (movie)
One of the best drama movies I remember watching in the early part of 2012 was the movie named “The Help”. I had expected it to be very good because of the actors that were involved in its making, but I never thought that it would be one of …
Play it Again Sam (1972) Woody Allen
Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …
Vertigo
I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …
Resident Evil movie
Resident Evil. As the name suggests we think we’re entering the world of survival horror…
Yes! That’s right. Because we’ve in mind the strong console Game “Resident Evil”. Really a success!
The question is: “Could a film reproduce the atmosphere of the king of horror videogames?”
According to Andersson, the Film Director, …
Footloose (1984)
This movie is very simple and straight forward, it tells the story of a teenager, played by Kevin Bacon, who moves to a small town and has to basically adapt to their dull and dreary way of life that does not include ‘rock music and dancing’. Now that their …
Darkman movie
The first time I saw the movie “Darkman” was before I had cable television and I used to go over to one of my relatives house to watch television sometimes, especially on summer holidays when I did not have anywhere else to be or anything to do. However, at …
Joshua (R, 2007) movie
The cover of this DVD would have one believe that the little boy depicted is somehow possessed with some kind of evil. You might even think there is some supernatural twist to the plot. But if you thought either of these things, you would probably be wrong. …
Speed
I have watched this movie lot of times. Yesterday I saw it on some movie channel and I re watched it ! This is a thriller and one of its kind A passenger bus is traveling, and people suddenly come to know that it has a bomb in it. …
Turistas
What a horrifying situation, to be stranded in a foreign country, and caught up in the schemes of dealers of death. The premise of Turistas (Spanish for tourists) is straightforward. A group of tourists, fresh from a bus accident, find a beach to relax on before walking off to …
House of Fears
OK, I have to admit that House of Fears makes me go all creepy. However, the movie is kind of dark and it’s quite irritating to say. I wish that most haunted movies would be clearer and not having a dark effect.
I am not really sure …
Demolition Man movie
Starring Syvester Stallone and a Baaad Wesley Snipes in a futuristic type action/comedy. This one also stars a furure governor of the US of A. After Stallone is imprisoned after the death of civilians cause by Snipes, they are both chilled in a stasis-like prison. Spines is thawed for …
Superman Doomsday Animated Movie
I really liked this superhero movie since I am a fan of Superman. I personally expected it to be epic, action-packed, filled with effects and drama … and it really is! This film is not related to the “DC animated universe” as its predecessor -Superman Brainiac Atacks, but …

Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …
Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …
Movie Just Like Heaven
“Just like Heaven” is simply a great romantic movie with a touch of magic and fantasy. What would you do if you start seeing a ghost? I personally would scream out loud and run away, however David Abbott went to find help to assist her crossover the other side! …
Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies)
‘Hotaru no Haka’, the tale of a pair of siblings in Japan during World War II moved the hearts of viewers when it was released in 1988. This anime has become a classic, well-loved and remembered by many.
In 2005, the ‘live’ version of ‘Hotaru no Haka’, more commonly known …
VooDoo (Horror Movie)
If you ask me about my opinion of this movie. It is —“ “I just wasted 1 hour plus of my life! *Censored*! *Censored*! *Censored*!”
In fact, I did thought of naming this review “VooDoo - a movie to waste 1 hour plus of you life away”. But I guess, …

Saw (horror movie)
Saw is 2004 horror, thriller and mystery movie directed by James Wan who had quite a successful career in directing horror movies. I don’t usually watch horror movies, not because I can’t bear them, but, because its not truly my genre. My friend told me how much of a …
Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Keeping the Faith movie
As far as movies are concerned, I’m not really sure if Keeping the Faith is a good one or just slightly above average. I’m leaning toward the latter but feel Ben Stiller carries it a bit further than that. Without him, I don’t think this movie would be even …
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
When Adam Sandler first started out in films, I was a huge fan. But, after some pretty crappy films, I found myself no longer going out of my way to see any of his movies. However, I�m glad I rented his newest movie, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & …
