Movies Reviews
The Orphanage (R, 2007) movie
Belen Rueda stars as Laura in this weird, yet spooky little film. The synopsis on Netflix seemed a little more ominous than the actual film. Anyway, I was a bit confused at first as to what was going on. But once I realized …
Red 2010 movie
After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …
Breach
The best way to describe the movie “Breach” is a Bourne story without the action. Based on a true story, “Breach” has a great cast of actors Chris Cooper, Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney. The true pity is that this movie was released in the same year …
Dumb and Dumber Dvd
Dumb and Dumber is the funnies movie ever written in my opinion. The comedic timing is spot on and keeps you laughing from the first minute to the last. The jokes are all based on how dumb Harry and Lloyd who are best friends are. They are mostly simple …
Creature from the Black Lagoon
I absolutely love old black and white horror flicks and, because of this, think Creature from the Black Lagoon is an often-overlooked classic.
Filmed in 1954, the movie focuses on a group of scientists who are terrorized by a creature that is half-man, half fish and possibly the missing link …
Blood and Chocolate Movie
Before watching the movie “Blood and Chocolate”, I had a completely different interpretation of what we call werewolves or “lycanthropes” were. I had always thought they were crude, scary and disgusting looking creatures since that was how I have always seen them portrayed in movies. Never once had I …
A Kid in King Arthur’s Court
I have seen a book entitled “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” in my aunt’s library at her house which was written apparently by the author Mark Twain. However, I have never made an attempt to read the book so I am not sure if it is related …

Two women are frustrated with their lives; they’re ready to get away from it all and enjoy a holiday in someone else’s shoes.
Amanda (Cameron Diaz), who directs movie trailers in glamorous Los Angeles, is stressed with her job and has just been dumped by her cheating boyfriend. Iris (Kate …
Seeker:The Dark Is Rising
I went to see this movie this afternoon and was told it was a five star movie. At first, the movie started out kind of confusing to me. The boy, who is the “hero”, was with a family that I wasn’t even sure was his own. Plus, were they …
Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
Bring It On (2000)
The movie is the story about cheerleaders, giving you a look at their lives and the sport they are involved in, plain and simple, nothing complicated, nothing magnificent, nothing glorified, just plain old cheerleaders doing what they do best. It is a comedy at that, with a nice little …
A Million Ways to Die in the West (movie)
Since I haven’t been seeing any new episodes of Family Guy or American Dad I’ve been wondering what the creator Seth McFarlane has been up to and whether or not he had any new projects working on. My question was answered when I saw the trailer for the comedy “A …
Carrie
I think Carrie was a pretty scary and cool movie. I think it’s cool because I like physic energy and powers. I am really into that kind of stuff. And the fact that Carrie was a physic energy master was what really got me into this movie. I think that …
The First Wives Club Movie
The First Wives Club is one of my favorite comedies of all time. The first time I saw the movie I was young, so I did not grasp the significance of both cast and the plot as a whole, but now that I am older it is one of the …
Longitude (2000)
This was a 2000 A&E television production, and is now available on DVD. The movie is an interweaving of two stories: the 18th century invention of the marine chronometer by John Harrison, and the 20th century restoration of the timepieces by Rupert Gould.
I’m going to give this movie sort …

Suspect Zero (R, 2004) movie
I had this film in my Netflix queue, and finally purchased it somewhere else before viewing it. I really wish I had seen the movie first, or I would not have bought it. As much as I like Carrie-Anne Moss, I simply found her role in …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
My son is a big fan of mummy series, and I had to watch the earlier two parts with him as well. This one is set in china, and the story goes that thousands of years ago, one Chinese king, wanted to rule the world, and was looking for …
Alpha Dog Movie
When I watched the trailer for this film, I wasn’t impressed. Just another teen flick with young girls in bikini’s and young boys doing drugs Even though that was in the film, it wasn’t as prominent a part as you would think
The film is about a young …
Cannibal, DVD Horror film
How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …
Predator movie
Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Afraid of creepy crawling insects? Afraid of what’s around the next darl corner? Then, be afraid, be very afraid…as you are going to the jungle where all these things live. A group of highly skilled soldiers embark on …
Vehicle 19, movie
The movie Vehicle 19 is a fairly bland, perceptibly low budget movie that offers the usual fast and furious car chases. This time however, most of the activity takes place within a car.
Michael Woods, played by Paul Walker, is visiting Johannesburg, South Africa after being paroled in an …
The Last King of Scotland (2007)
The Last King of Scotland, directed by Kevin McDonald, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture in 2007. This classic movie concerns the life of dictator Idi Amin and his reign of terror in the African country of Uganda. The story concerns a young Scottish doctor named …
SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
I just finished reading Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol to my daughter and she said she would love to see a movie about it. Wanting to find a movie that gave justice to the book yet wasn’t too scary for her, I finally settled on Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
The thing …
Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake (2007)
Possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, this movie sank like a stone to the bottom of the river. Unlike the John Carpenter Masterpiece of 1978, this remake just fails. Where the original movie was a masterpiece, this updated cellophane garbage is a huge cinematic failure. …
Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …
Half Caste (movie)
This is without doubt one of the dullest and boring movies I have ever seen. Watching this film unfold on your TV will put you to sleep. Worst, it’s supposed to be a horror movie! Horror movies as you very well know should be filled with suspense, scary moments …
A Shark’s Tale
I went to go see this movie against my own will. My friends all wanted to see A Shark’s Tale, and I was outnumbered, so I had to go. Let me make this clear, I did not want to see this movie at all! It looked like a cheesy …
Action Jackson (1988)
Former Lt. Action Jericho Jackson was demoted from the rank of Lt. due to a case he was dealing with that involved a wealthy business man named Peter Delleplane, a man who has basically killed all those who stood before him in his advance to the top of the …
Inception- Movie
Inception is a mind bender of a movie. It is complicated and really makes you think. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the story concerns a man who can infiltrate other people’s dreams with the halp of a small crew. DiCaprio’s character is a haunted genious who is mourning his wife’s death. …
Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
Deep Rising
Deep Rising is a movie show that I’ve watched with my ex-boyfriend before and I really find this story such a B-O-R-E.
Starred by Treat Williams and some other casts, this is a story about some people on a ship and there are some bad guys trying to get …
Black Beauty, the Movie
Black Beauty, Anna Sewell’s classic novel about the life and hardships of a black stallion in a 1870s England, proved to be a timeless piece of literature that would soon find its way onto the big screen. The sequence of events throughout the novel takes just as much importance …
Movie Hair Spray
Some musicals are entertaining to watch and may even be funny. In the case of the movie Hair Spray, you also have a movie that is very fun to watch.
I’m not sure which was more interesting, watching John Travolta dancing and singing in a fat suit and high heels …
The Death of Stalin, movie (2017)
I watched the acclaimed film The Death of Stalin. What can I say? A good comedy, similar to Monty Python’s work - in some places absurdist humor that makes the film funny in the best sense of the word.
The plot does not sag anywhere. It is interesting to watch from …
The First Wives Club (1996)
The First Wives Club, Directed by Hugh Wilson is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association od America, and stars Bette Midler as Brenda Chushman, Goldie Hawn as Elise Elliot, Diane Keaton as Annie Paradis and Sarah Jessica Parker as Shelly Stewart.

Fanaa (movie) ,2006
At last today I watched this Aamir Khan starred movie Fanaa (Lol). This movie released on 26th of May 2006. I had my University exams from 23rd of May 2006 so I could not even dream of watching this movie at that time. This film is produced by Yashraj …
The Killer movie
The Killer is John Woo’s Hong Kong action movie from the late 80s that has cult reputation in some circuits. It is a most intense film with an extreme quick pace. A cop and a villain chase each other in a game of death, and the action sequences are …

Wedding Crashers
The movie “Wedding Crashers” is the film that made the actors, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn very much famous. It is thanks to this extraordinary movie that both actors moved on in working on more demanding and challenging roles.
What I really liked about “Wedding Crashers” is the out of …

Watching My Bollywood Bride, I love it so much. This is based on a true story of a copywriter aspiring to become a writer and having a very popular girlfriend; Bollywood, that is. Kashmira Shah and Jason Lewis star in this movie and I love it; so romantic …

Frankenfish (2004) movie
This is another fun horror movie about some mutant fish that invade the Louisiana Bayou. The movie stars Mark Dippe and Tory Kittles. I admit I was unsure what to expect when I first picked it up, mainly due to the movie’s name. But the movie was surprisingly good! …
8 MM (1999)
I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …
A lot like live
It`s a great movie. It`s a comedy romance and Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet plays really good in it. It takes some people years to fall in love at first sight. A LOT LIKE LOVE is a romantic comedy about destiny, connection and the frequently fuzzy line between chance …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Movie
I have always maintained that the best books to be made a movie are the fantasy books (witness Lord of the Rings the movie). I was eagerly awaiting the third movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because I wanted to see how well the new casts such …
Supreme Sanction
Supreme Sanction with Kristy Swanson, Michael Madsen, Ron Perlman, and Donald Faison.
This is one horrible movie. I’m sorry but Kristy Swanson cannot follow up her Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie to carry her own poorly scripted action movie. Madsen, as a villain, is too …
