Harold and Kumar go to whitecastle
This is not your typical comedy. It is a comedy with a purpose. I laughed so much until I cried. The plot consists of two best friends who get an overwhelming craving for whitecastle burgers. They refused to stop at nothing to get their fulfillment. After so many mishaps …
X-Men: Apocalypse 2016 Superhero Movie
I read and heard a lot of bad reviews about the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie. This was from both dissatisfied movie goers and fans of the comic, thus I just wrote it off as a bad movie initially and put it out of my head. However, when someone I knew …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
The Princess & The Warrior (R, 2000) movie
“The Princess and the Warrior” is truly a film that you will not mind reading the subtitles on. As a matter of fact, you may find that you’ve forgotten that this film is in German. Franka Potente stars in this film as a psychiatric nurse …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
AVP
Aliens vs. Predator is my personal favorite of the entire sga of both movies.
The story goes like this: a bunch of scientist discovered an ancient temple in the Pole, they also discovered that over night a giant tunnel leading down to it mistriously appeared. They have no idea of …
Just My Luck movie
Lindsey Lohan isn’t exactly a star that draws me to a movie, so when we got Just My Luck from Netflix I was a bit skeptical about it.
Overall though, it was a pretty good movie.
Lohan plays a woman who is extremely lucky but ends up giving an unlucky guy …
Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
Slumdog Millionaire
I am not a person who loves watching movies. However, the euphoria that was created by the release of Slumdog millionaire led me to watch this movie. I have to say that I love watching the movie. Yes, I have many reservations about the plot and the way film …
The Son of Frankenstein
Boris Karloff gets to wear his makeup of the assembled-from-dead-body-parts monster yet again. This time, it is the son of Dr. Frankenstein, Wolf, who has to deal with him. Wolf returns from America to the family castle where the monster was first created, and guess what? The monster is …
After Innocence
How can a man survive twenty years in prison for a crime he can’t commit is hard to understand but how to move past wrongful imprisonment is even harder. After Innocence is the story of men who have been set free due to DNA evidence and what happens to …
Batman Begins (DVD)
After a full decade of substandard Batman movies finally the caped crusader has something to cheer about. And what a surprise, too! The sheer number of lukewarm reviews this movie received was enough to make me hesitate to see it. The only person I know who actually gave this …
View from the Top (2003)
Director: Bruno Barreto. Featuring: Christina Applegate, Candice Bergen and Gwyneth Paltrow.
This is a cute little story enjoyable to watch and easy on the eyes. Yet if your time is really precious, save it for something else.
It tells the story of a young woman named Donns (Paltrow) from a …

The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
Green Zone
Green Zone movie is based on the American invasion of Iraq and the truth behind it. I reckon its one of the best Non-Friction movie made this year and the truth behind the Iraq war has really been well told by the movie. Really liked the Matt Damon’s acting …
Left Behind The Movie
Left Behind The Movie is the first in what I consider to be a mini series about the apocalypses. It gives us the writers view point of how he see’s the event happening. Kirk Cameron does a phenomenal job playing the part of the reporter in the movie. It …
Twister
Helen Hunt is just a good actress and I wonder whether she has ever won an acting award or not. Her appearance was very good, especially in the movie, Twister, which I watched years back. My local TV channel loves to showcase long-ago movies which had been blockbuster …
Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
Couples Retreat (2009) movie
Couples Retreat is a new comedy that was recently released. I saw it in theaters and saw it again recently on Dvd so I though I would write up a review on it.
It is the story of four couples who all have there own issues. Two are thinking …

Movie: Shawshank Redemption
My wife and I intended on watching Last House on the Left last night. But, the kids were still awake and we knew we would like the movie better if we had peace and quiet. So, instead, we ended up watching the Stephen King movie Shawshank Redemption.
This was the …
Affair in Monte Carlo movie
I was very surprised by my reaction to Affair in Monte Carlo, which I found to be a very compelling movie. In spite of the soap opera type of theme, I was hooked for the greater portion of the movie. There were, however, a few slow moments, …
Final Destination movie
There are very few thrillers out there that scare me, this is definitely one of them.
The makers of this movie did a great job coming up with an original concept that you just don’t see in Hollywood any more. What could be scarier than knowing Death is out to …
Hellboy: Sword of Storms
I am not the biggest Hellboy fan around. Never read the comic books. Watched part of the live action movie starring Ron Pearlman, but didn’t find myself particularly enraptured by it. So I decided to give his first animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms (also starring …

Movie You, Me and Dupree

The Game Plan Movie
Dwayne Johnson is hot. There is no doubt about it. And it gets even better seeing him star opposite a little girl star Madison Pettis. This is about a famous foot ball player who doesn’t know that he has a daughter, and the girl shows up on his doorstep. …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
Movie Mirror
Mirror, a remake from the korean version that was directed in 2003 by Kim Sung-ho. This story has the similar concept, only except with different actors and background. The movie stars Keifer Sutherland.

Flushed Away movie
Flushed Away is one great movie for me. I like Kate Winslet as an actress and in this cartoon movie she dubbed the voice of the female rat named Sid. I like the movie because I like to learn English more and here in this movie they were using …
Orphan movie
The movie “Orphan” from 2009 was a must see for me after hearing about all the controversy surrounding it. I have heard that some were concerned that it would discourage prospective parents from adopting. I would assume, after seeing the film, that these people were basing their fears on …
Day Of The Dead movie
Me and my mother are big fans of zombie films. We have seen a lot of zombie films but this one is my favorite. This was just actually a remake of a classic film of the same name. I haven’t watched that one so I cannot compare which is …
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
I can remember hearing about this movie from a lot of people who went to my school a couple years ago right after it came out. All I could hear of was how good it was too, hilarious, dramatic, suspenseful and how I had to watch it. Therefore, since …
Employee of the month
This was a great movie for me. I used to work in retail. Most movies are based out of big city office complexes, and most of the average people working in shopping centers, restaurants, or some other ordinary job. So I really related to this movie. However the …
Movie Twilight
Yesterday I saw this movie ‘twilight’, it’s kind of romantic drama and action movie wiyh good effect and nice location. The reason I wanna watch this movie is to see Robert Pattinson. He’s so cute. First time I saw him, he act in the ‘Harry Potter and the goblet …
Son-in-Law
The funny thing about the movie Son-in-Law is the fact it’s funny the first time you see it but gets less and less funny every time you watch it.
Pauly Shore might have been yesterday’s Larry the Cable Guy but the reality is his movies really lack any real substance …

The Polar Express (2004 Film)
The 2004 holiday film called “The Polar Express” is a heartwarming and touching film that really captures the pure and innocent magic of the Christmas season through the eyes of a child. It is a movie that the entire family will absolutely fall in love with and give everyone …

Saving Mr. Banks (2013 Film)
I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for Disney movies. They always have a way of dragging me back to my childhood to the happy times of being a kid without a care in the world.
Saving Mr. Banks is the real life approach to Mary Poppins. At first, when I heard …
