Film “the horsemen” (2009)
I loved this film for several reasons. First of all when I watch a horror or suspense movie, there needs to be something scary in the first 20 minutes or it loses me. It can be psychological terror, but there needs to be something to draw …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …

Movie Hairspray
I watched the movie Hairspray this evening. This was the 2007 updated version. I have to admit that I did not really like the original movie. I did not expect too much from this version.
Hairspray is a musical/ comedy.
I have to say though in my opinion, …
Blades of Glory Movie (2007)
Not many people realize that the movie “Blades of Glory” is meant to be a spoof of the internationally acclaimed sport of ice-skating. If you want a movie that’s not a spoof, rent one of the all-time sports hero classics like “Rocky” or something of that nature. …
Gunga Din Movie
Originally a story by Rudyard Kipling, this film is about english explorers and their adventures in India during the 19th century.
The film is told in an epic style, with a lot of boring camera movement and orchestral music. It was made in the 1930s in Hollywood, and for some …
The Others Nicol Kidman Movie
The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …

If you are looking to get entertained and get value for the money you spent “UNKNOWN” is the movie for you. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Liam Neeson, January Jones, Diane Kruger and Frank Lagella in the pivotal roles, the movie just gives you what you deserve “Entertainment, …
Failure to launch/Matthew Mcconagughey & Sarah Jessica Parker
I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …

Teaching Mrs. Tingle, directed by Kevin Williamson is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for thematic content, violence, sexuality, language and some teen drinking.

Eat, Pray, Love Movie
Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …
Coach of the Year movie
Coach of the Year was a spunky football movie issued in 1980 and which starred Robert Conrad as a paralyzed football player. Conrad always prided himself on his physical prowess. His toughness was part of his real life persona as well as a staple of the roles …
Tribes movie
From 1970, the movie Tribes is not a favorite. It took me three times to actually get through the movie, though I will say that once my frame of mind was preferred for the type of movie it was going to be, I got through it fairly easily.
Jan …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
I brought Eeyan and Natasha, my 2 cute nephew and niece, respectively to watch Kung Fu Panda (2008). It was real super fun and we had a great time. The thing was that I was supposed to go with my date on that day, this 26 year …

Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …
The Punisher (DVD)
I’ll be honest, The Punisher wasn’t one of those movies that I was dying to see or in fact even wanted to see. That all changed when I went over to my brother’s house. He had rented this movie from blockbuster and we decided to watch it. I am …
Lilies of the Field movie
Lilies of the Field is a classic motion picture that considers to reach the hearts of viewers. Sidney Poitier starred in the movie as a drifter who stops to get water for his car and ends up helping some German nuns to build their chapel. It’s quite …
Eyes of a Stranger
Eyes of a Stranger is a Richard Dean Anderson film from 1992 that I’ve never seen, most likely because I’m really not into murder mysteries that are scary all that much, and that’s what this film is suppose to be. Since someone gifted me with this recently, it …
Bambi (Disney Movie)
Bambi is a very delightful movie and it’s very cool. I really think Bambi is a great movie for young people and even adults. The morals in this movie are good and should be learned by all. I think that Bambi looks really cue and he is very lovable. I …

Disturbia
I just love Shia La Beouf’s movies. This is another one of them. It was released in 2007, under the horror category. However this was more of a thriller than horror.
The story is about a boy Kale(Shia La Beouf) who is under house arrest for punching his Spanish teacher …
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie
The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …

Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
The Christmas Wish movie
The Christmas Wish is a delightful holiday movie with a very nice cast that includes the marvelous Debbie Reynolds. In the movie, Reynolds’ husband has just died and her son comes home to help with the business. The son is played with care by Neil Patrick Harris.

Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
Batman v Superman Movie (spoilers)
I Just got back from Dawn of Justice and a lot of controversy has happened with reviews so I thought I’d give mine. I’m just a normal guy who is neither a DC or Marvel fanboy, I like comics.
So this movie is directed at people who read comics. Alot …
The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …

Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem
The second movie in the crossover film series once again pits Alien against Predator in a sequel that doesn’t deliver.
It’s hardly surprising this film doesn’t set the screen alight; the original was hardly a classic, but it’s a shame this time round that aspect that didn’t quite work in …
The Insider
I thought The Insider was a great movie. This movie was very exciting and interesting. It shows how dangerous being an insider with info can be. This is a story about a man who is an insider at the Tobacco industry. He works for the Tobacco industry, but he knows …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010) movie is a pleasant collaboration between Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who has been on creative fire since his “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. I think that he’s given the family company just a slightly edgy, darker appeal without getting too violent, goth or …
Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison. Forman uses an epic style to tell this story, and that works very …
Smokey Mountain Christmas Movie
A Smokey Mountain Christmas is a movie from the 80s that stars Dolly Parton. It is just a cute, feel good Christmas movie. It kind of has a Snow White and the seven dwarves feel to it. Dolly stars as a popular country singer who wants to get away …
Movie on Kingdom of Heaven
There is a reason why I love watching movies that involved epic wars, adventure and of course, a talented director named Riddley Scott. One such movie is entitled Kingdom of Heaven, a story about the crusaders during the early 11th century. Though it is not a recent movie, I …
Star Trek: Generations
I was never a huge Star Trek the Next Generation fan until I was in college and I had a roommate get me hooked on it. So, when the movie Star Trek: Generations came out, I didn’t make a whole of effort to see it.
After seeing it a couple …
The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
Tropic Thunder movie
I sat down to watch Tropic Thunder last night with my wife with a high expectation. this was mainly due to the cast, the sheer number of big names in the movie guarenteed a high audience. Everyones favourite comedians were there and i wasnt disapointed.
It didnt give me the …
Movie Fragile
Starring: Calista Flockhart (Amy Nichols), Richard Roxburgh (Doctor Robert), Elena Anaya (Helen Perez), Gemma Jones (Mrs Folder), Yasmin Murphy (Maggie)
This movie is trite and unexciting, despite the appealing storyline behind it. I would think the Japanese and Koreans would have done better with this.
Amy took up a …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Film (2009)
I grew up reading Harry Potter books in my formative years back in the 90’s. The time when the whole Harry Potter franchise was less frenzied and the books were just lurking somewhere to be discovered. My devotion to the books reached a fanatical stage that I …
Nim’s Island movie
So, yeah. This movie happened. Don’t. Watch. It. Please. The story is so atrociously terrible and the acting is subpar (other than Jodie Foster, of course.). Please.
Story: So this girl lives on an island in South America with her father who is Gerald Butler, which apparently he does after …
Netflix Movie Rental
I recently tried a free trial of Netflix. I really enjoyed it for the trial period, so I decided to stick with it. I am a college student, and being the movie enthusiast I am, I needed to find an inexpensive way to satisfy my movie watching fix. Netflix …
We Are Marshall
I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …
Apocalypto
Apocalypto is one of the best jungle chase movies I have ever seen. It has humor, suspense, and non-stop action. It is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it at least ten times. The movie starts with a group of natives hunting a taper. A taper is …
Save the Green Planet, South Korean film
Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …
