Movies Reviews
Cider House Rules
I am reviewing the movie, The Cider House Rules, starring Tobey McGuire and Michael Caine. Cider House Rules is about many things. Tobey plays Homer Wells, an permanent orphan who lives at the orphanage with Dr. Larch (Caine), nurses, and other orphans. He has been trained …
Spawn Series
I don’t usually like cartoons. But a friend introduced me to the Spawn animated series. I saw the movie years ago, and didn’t like it. But at the time, I didn’t really have an appreciation for comic book culture. In any case, …
Movie Resident Evil: Extinction
I sat down to watch the third Resident Evil movie last night; Extinction. While I thought it was an OK movie, I think they might have taken the series a bit too far.
The first thing I really didn’t like about that movie is the fact about half the main …
Mr. fix it (2006) movie
Oh my God, this is one of the most stupid movies out there. I don’t even know how in the world can you make a movie that is so bad. And it is very surprising since the actors in the movie are absolutely amazing. The only scenario I can …
Sphere movie
A mystical space ship is discovered on the bottom of the ocean and a team of scientists goes down to find out how it got there. Strange things occur while down there and the scientists sense fear for no obvious reason. This film was incredibly well made half way …
Timeline (2003)
This is yet another reason why I continue to say that Paul Walker is not a very good actor, it is either that fact or his agents are always find him the most idiotic movies to star in, no wait, that’s not it, because he stars in some really …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …
Wall-E
I took my entire family to see the Pixar movie Wall-E in June, 2008. Wall-E is a spectacular motion picture that is probably the most “adult” of any movie Pixar has released thus far. I say “adult” not because of any inappropriate content - the little robots …
Little Shop of Horrors movie
It was kind of hot outside yesterday and, since my wife is 9 months pregnant and can’t handle the heat too well right now, we ended up spending a good chunk of our afternoon indoors by the air conditioner watching movies.
One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …
Movie Homocide
Homicide with Joe Mantegna and Bill Macy.
I do not believe that this movie made the big screen as it was pretty cheesy. It focuses on two crimes in New York City. One was a black cop killer who only needed to be located. …
Stepford Wives (2004)
I find this 2004 remake of The Stepford Wives movie a somewhat interesting but very average attempt with one big gaping plot hole. In the original 1975 version, a young couple arrives to the town of Stepford where all the wives are amazingly beautiful and domestic; then it turns …
Layer Cake (2004)
Daniel Craig plays the character of a street wise drug dealing business man, who, unlike so many of his competitors, does not indulge in using the product of which he sells. He is disciplined in the ways of the business. Setting a target cash goal for himself, and when …
Event Horizon movie
Paul W.S. Anderson brings us one of his best cinematic efforts with Event Horizon, an original science fiction horror.
Sam Neill leads the cast as Dr. Weir, a scientist who in the not so distant future creates a revolutionary device which allows for swift interstellar travel. His creation; the ship …
First Daughter movie
The right words to describe the movie “First Daughter” is a Presidential version of “A Princess Diaries”. The true pity is that “First Daughter” has the same story of “Chasing Liberty” and they were both released during the same year 2004. One cannot help but compare …
Netflix
Yesterday was the fourth time I’ve registered for Netflix. I’ve been a member before but have cancelled my membership three times thinking we would be cutting back on our movie watching. And, once again, we found we are better off with the service.
The thing I like about Netflix is …
Ghost of the Abyss
What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
Rogue movie
I am a fan of monster stories that involve big fish or crocodiles. I was a teenager when Jaws first hit our movie screens and I still think that this kind of movie can be one of the scariest and dare I say it - entertaining of all the …
So I Married an Axe Murderer
I’m not a huge fan of some of his later Austin Powers movies, but I have always thought Mike Myers was a bit underrated when it comes to his films. That’s why I took the time to watch one of his first movies again; “So I Married an Axe …
Klute Movie
When a man and father of several children disappears without a trace, the private detective Klute is hired to investigate the case after the police have given up their searches. Great actors like Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Roy Sheider lifts this mediocre story to an interesting and intense …
Hangover 3 Movie
Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …
Flakes movie
I absolutely hated this movie. For one, I had never even heard of it until a friend brought the DVD over to my room. It had her favorite actress in it, so we thought we would watch it.
Well, I realize that she found this DVD in the …
Nothing Like the Holidays
This holiday movie stars John Leguizamo and Debra Messing as a Puerto Rican/Jewish couple who goes to Chicago’s west side to spend the holidays with John Leguizamo’s family. From the beginning the audience is introduced to some of the cultural differences the couple has to face. John …
The Fly
The Fly is a great movie. I consider this movie a horror classic. It is also a great science fiction movie. I like the whole story and plot. The Fly is about a scientist that thinks he discovered something great. But an experiment goes wrong and his DNA gets crossed …
Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …
Match Point (2005)
Match Point is a 2005 movie from writer and director Woody Allen. I am always more excited about a new Woody Allen film if he is in it because I love to see him delivering his own lines but someone recommended this to me and I must admit …
The Other Woman (2014 Film)
“The Other Woman” is a romantic comedy directed by Nick Cassavetes (the same from “The Notebook” and “Alpha Dog”) and starred by Cameron Diaz (Carly), Leslie Man (Kate) and Kate Upton (Amber). The plot is pretty simple: a girl falls for a guy, a guy falls for a girl, …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up with Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, and Leslie Mann.
Only one word can describe this romantic comedy - stinker. Rogen and Heigl play two personalities on opposite ranges of professional career motivation, yet end up hooking up in a drunken binge. …
Hindi Movie Black and white
I watched this movie a weeks back as this was directed by Subhash Ghai, who is a well known entertainer director of bollywood. I had some expectation from this, but the movie disappointed me big time, the story is about a person who lost is family in Gujrat riots …
Three
Well, I will admit, that was a pretty good movie. When we decided to watch the film Three, I figured it would be like every other thriller I ever watched, with a few intense moments but a plot that was pretty easy to follow and would be too predictable.
But, …
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …
Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.
Superbad is a comedy that is based on how high school kids want to always fit in …
The Enchanted Cottage (1945)
“The Enchanted Cottage” is an RKO movie, filmed in black and white and lasts 91 minutes. “The whole town WHISPERED about these two!” These two are Laura Pennington (Dorothy McGuire) and Oliver Bradford (Robert Young).
“The Enchanted Cottage” is the story of the ugly duckling. The enchanted cottage weaves a …
Old School movie
Old School. What a great phrase. Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson, better known as the Frat Pack, have made yet another hilarious film. After Wilson’s character finds out that he is being evicted from his new house, the boys decide to start a fraternity in order to …
Gattaca (movie)
The first time that I remember seeing the movie “Gattaca” was some years ago in about 2011. At the time I was a bit baffled because here was this science fiction movie with actors such as Ethan Hawke , Jude Law and Uma Thurman that was released in 1997, …

The original release date was April 13, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action and stars …
Employee of the Month
I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …
Children of the Corn
Children of the Corn of the corn is a movie that made me become afraid of kids. I really think this movie is horrifying. I really liked the acting in the movie. These kids were really creepy and very evil. I liked their supernatural power. The music also really scared …

Taintlight, spoof horror film
I’ve watched movies on mass suicide, rape, people eating shit, and about a dozen more sick things. Nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me for this movie that I decided to watch. Taintlight. Yes Taintlight, a movie that decided to tear apart the first Twilight movie a …
Shooter, conspiracy thriller film by Antoine Fuqua
When I first saw a trailer for the movie I thought it was a Bourne rip off, it showed non stop ass kicking from Mark Wahlberg. After I was finished with this movie I still want to say it is a Bourne rip off just not through the plot …
Shaadi No.1
Shaadi No.1 is a comedy movie.The story is narrated around three husbands, three wives and three girl friends. I think the story is clear. David Dhawan, the director of the movie, showed the consequences that could be faced by husbands, if they cheat their wives and lag behind girl …
Splice Movie (2009)
She’s hot!
She’s dangerous!
And…She’s not ENTIRELY human!
