The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …
Lost Boys: The Tribe
My boyfriend loved Lost Boys so when Lost Boys: The Tribe came out on Tuesday we made a trip to Wal-mart to get it. The DVD cost around $20.
First of all I’ll start with the cover. It is neat. You look at it in one …
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This movie follows the trilogy, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This movie sees Indiana Jones …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …
Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …
The Queen by Stephen Frears
I was very lucky today to see a matinee of “The Queen” staring Helen Mirren. Although I knew the movie was about Queen Elizabeth II, I had no idea it was about the period following Princess Diana’s death.
I found the movie was not only engaging but engrossing. It was …
Solstice (PG-13, 2007)
I really tried hard to at least give this film a chance. I liked that it was set in Louisiana. I liked that the directors chose to focus on the solstice aspect. I even resigned myself to the fact that there would be several college kids …
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding stars Nia Vardalos and John Corbett. The movie was filmed in 2002 and is a charming adventure about Tula, a Greek woman who wants to marry but believes she is not pretty enough. Nia Vardalos plays Tula and she is wonderful in …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …
BoogeyMan movie
BoogeyMan is an OK movie. I think the reason so many people watched it and liked it was because we all used to believe in the BoogeyMan at one time in our life. This is what made me think this movie was going to be scary. The preview also made …
Evan Almighty (2007)
Evan Almighty, directed by Tom Shadyac is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for mild rude humor and some peril. The original release date was June 22, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Fantasy and stars Steve Carell as Evan …
A pilot’s wife movie
I watched “The pilot’s wife” today on lifetime movie network. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It could have been better but overall it was pretty good. I would recommend watching it, but if you have a better movie then I would watch that instead. This girl who …
The Ninth Gate (2000)
A career driven writer is employed in the services of a wealthy book collector to help him locate a specific set of books. In addition, the collector wants the writer to travel across the globe to find the other books that will complete the collection of books at any …
Movie : Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a really funny movie! My wife and I watched it the other night and were both pleasantly surprised. The movie features Jason Segal (who plays Marshall on “How I Met Your Mother) and Kristen Bell (who starred in the recently canceled “Veronica Mars”). …
Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …
The Guardian Movie
I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …
Jumper (movie)
My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …
Ivan the Terrible movie
One of Sergei Eisenstein’s sound films, in which a historical epic about the ruthless emperor Ivan is told. It is a very powerful visual film, and Eisenstein puts all of his effort on effects, magnificent camerawork and a dynamic style of editing. All of this is a brilliant as …
The Wizard of Oz
After a nasty neighbor tries to have her dog, Toto, put down after biting her, Dorothy (Judy Garland) decides to run away from home with her dog. After running into an odd fortune teller, Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan), his mysterious vision begins to lead Dorothy back home. …
Coyote Ugly movie
Piper Perabo made a big splash in Coyote Ugly back in 2000. The female coyote craze has really grown since then. These are women who both bar-tend and entertain the patrons. They’re gone for getting up atop the bar and singing and dancing, in groups and …
Frankie and Johnny movie
Where to start talking about this musical film, Frankie and Johnny? It’s a 1966 release that has a lot of singing Elvis Presley and, of all persons, Donna Douglas as his co-star. Douglas is best known as Elly May Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies. While I …
The Wedding Crashers
The Wedding Crashers it a great movie! This movie was just great. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugn did a great job of acting in this movie. I really liked the basic storyline. The Wedding Crashers is very funny because these two guys go around looking for girls at weddings they …
The Mist
Stephen King movies are usually hit or miss. Some are great, others are kind of dumb.
The Mist falls into the former more than the latter. But, it still is flawed.
The great thing about The Mist is the fact you really never know what is going on until the very …
Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair
Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride return for their fourth straight movie as this lovable couple from the country. Though much is made out of their large family, the kids aren’t seen all that much. There is a focus on one of the older children, though, named Rosie. …
Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
The Others Movie
“The Others,” 2001, offers an unusual twist of a hunted mansion story. Grace (Nicole Kidman) is a young mother who lives in a large house with her two children, Charles and Anne, waiting for her husband to come home from World War II. The children are allergic to sunlight, …

“CLICK” a movie that launch here in the philippines at 2006… a movie is so good and appropriate for the hole family… when ur try to go out with your family of friends this is the movie that best describe for u and your family…this movie created, if im …
Guess Who (2005 movie)
I’m still wondering if this is a remake of the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, for it does not have the flair of the original (that’s of course, if it is a remake). Ashton Kutcher (Simon Green) co-stars with Bernie Mac (Percy Jones) in this family comedy that …
Fat Albert (2004)
Anyone who knows themselves to the best of their knowledge is supposed to know the TV series called fat Albert. This series has been on the TV for so many years it is hard to not know it even if you did not want to. The only sad thing …
Scary Movie 4
I thought that Scary Movie 4 would be another foolish kind of slapstick movie but when I watched, I was really so laughing like crazy with my bunch of friends.
It was so, so funny and the fact that the Director and writers had come out with such a …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”
Tyler Perry is an awesome film maker. I really enjoyed his most recent film entitled “Why Did I Get Married?” The movie focused on relationships and the problems that each couple was dealing with in their marriage.
In the movie, there were four couples and they were all friends. …
Airheads movie
This 1994 comedy movie stars Brendan Frasier, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler as A struggling rock band called The Lone Rangers, who have tried everything to get their demo heard, are tired of barely getting by and being ignored by record companies, and the local radio station, and finally …
National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!
The overall basis of the movie is that a student named Van Wilder is attempting to stay …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
Leaving Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is probably the most tragic movie I have ever seen, but at the same time it is strangely uplifting on another level. It is the story of two broken souls that come across each other at their lowest point and see the similarity, see something in …
Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
Cherry Juice manga by Haruka Fukushima
Cherry Juice is a manga by Haruka Fukushima that is both funny and romantic. It also has drama. It’s about Otome and Minami, two stepsiblings and their relationship with each other. Otome is in love with Amane, Minami’s friend, and it ends up Amane likes her back and they …
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
This is a movie where you have the legendary characters of old coming together to quell the upsurge of multiple acts of violence that has occurred. The league comprises of the following superhuman and mere mortals alike and they are: Allan Quatermain, en Englishman who has evaded the …
Predator
I think Predator is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. And I also think it is one of Arnold schwarzenegger’s best roles. Predator offers a really good stoyline and villian. The Predator is an alien life form with advanced weapons and technology. This thing is scary. I …
Kung fu Panda
I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …
The Moonstone movie
The Moonstone is an whodunit motion picture that is actually intriguing. I pretty much enjoyed it from beginning to end. The interesting thing about that is that there’s nothing magical or outstanding about the plot.
At key moments, for example, each member of the cast gives that ‘I’m …
Black Cat Episode 3
Black Cat Episode 3 involves Sven going to Torneo’s mansion to find her sister, only to find Black Cat there about to shoot her. They try to stop him when Torneo’s men arrive and interrupt them. They make their escape and Sven learns the truth about his companion …

Cold Mountain Movie
This was the movie that had won Nicole Kidman an oscar and it’s a very nice movie. The cast is Nicole Kidman as Ada Monroe, Jude Law as Inman, Renee Zellweger as Ruby Thewes, Natalie Portman as Sara, Cillian Murphy as Bardolph, and Giovanni Ribisi as Junior.
The movie is …
Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
Holiday in Handcuffs
ABC Family’s holiday movie, Holiday in Handcuffs can be summarized in three words; cute but predictable.
While I like the concept behind this movie (a waitress kidnaps a customer and pretends he’s her boyfriend at her family Christmas gathering), I do think the story used a few too many cliches …
