Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …

Holy Water movie
Holy Water is a comedy with a lot of good humor that justifies two rules, namely: first, the British films worth seen, and second, the presence of famous actors and directors is not a guarantee for a good movie.
In other words, I watched a movie with actors that I …
Crossed Over
I watched this movie on lifetime just a few days ago. Overall it was an alright movie. I think it could have been a lot better. I usually love movies with Diane Keaton in it, she is a really good actress. This one though was a little boring. It’s …
The Gift - Psychological Thriller Movie (2015)
I watched the movie, The Gift, because of its interesting trailer and it seemed to be on the cusp of horror (I’m a big fan of horror). I didn’t expect to be extremely impressed by the movie but nearly two hours later, I was definitely satisfied. The Gift is more …

Gangster Squad (movie)

Movie Angels and Demons
I am a big fan of Dan Brown’s novels. They are, for me, the kind of books that I could finish in one sitting, simply because they are too thrilling that I can’t keep my hands off it. So when it was announced that this is going to be …
Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …

The Dark Knight
By now everyone has seen The Dark Knight, and there are more than enough reviews so rather than focus on how good the movie is I want to focus on my thoughts on what the movie is. The movie isn’t really about Batman it’s about the Joker, something most people …
Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …

X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie
If your a fan of the x-men series this movie may leave you entertained and a bit disappointed.

Land of the Dead (2005) Movie
Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …
Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …
Troops movie
A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …

The Thrill of It All movie
This is another of my very top favorite Doris Day films, and it co-stars James Garner. These two make a great film pair, and I wish they’d done more than this movie and Move Over, Darling.
In this flick, Day stars as Beverly Boyer, happy housewife and mother. …

Life Support (NR, 2006) movie

License to Kill movie

Kaw movie
Last night I just this movie, ‘Kaw’. actually, I don’t like kind of movie like this, but last night, there’s no such a good program in television, so I watched it while I still online and chat with my friends.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace movie

In “Get Smart” we get to see the unlikely couple Steve Carell and Anne Hathway team up to beat the enemy. What is so great about this movie is that you find it very difficult to imagine these two persons as a couple due to …
