Movies Reviews
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Saw (2004 movie)
A deranged serial killer sets the table for his next victims. Nobody knows who the real killer is, every one keeps pointing the finger at a certain individual, and when it’s all said and done, it turns out that person is also just a puppet in the serial killers …
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind(2001) starring Russell Crowe won four Oscars and I believe they were well deserved.In my opinion it is the best movie I have ever watched as it documents the real life struggle of a mathematical genius with schizophrenia.John Nash is the lead character played by Russell Crowe …
Barney’s Night Before Christmas
My little son name “Jonathan” loves watching movies or T.V. rather than playing games. He love motivational movies, learning movies etc. For that reason, I look for the best movie for him. A knowledgeable movie so that he can learn from it, especially I am looking for a very …
Guys and Dolls
I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …
Waist Deep (2006)
Tyrese gets himself into a heap of trouble when he gets involved with the wrong set of people from the wrong side of town. Now that his family is caught up in the situations he has no choice but to dive into the mix of things and do whatever …
Eating Out (movie)
“Eating Out” has to be hands down one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I’ve seen a great many movies in my very short lifetime. I discovered this movie when I was reading an article about something else on a popular website. I looked it up on …
The Two Towers movie
I am reviewing the second installment of the Lord of the Rings series, The Two Towers, which was released around 2002. This movie finds our heroes, Frodo and Sam, fighting their way to the Black Gate, with the aid of the creature Gollum, who is still very much …
Galaxy Quest
Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …
Film Gremlins
When Gremlins was first released, I was not allowed to see it being too young. My older sister and her best friend were taken to the theater to see the film while I stayed with my Grandfather. I remember that I got a teddy bear in compensation.
I also will …
Double Jeopardy Movie
This is a suspense and drama movie featuring Ashley Judd, Tommy Lee Jones, and Bruce Greenwood. Ashley is convicted for her murder of her husband which she didn’t commit and she loses her son but her best friend Angie (Annabeth Gish) takes her son Matty for the meantime until …
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader” film
I am a huge “The Chronicles of Narnia” fan. I remember it as being the first book series I ever read.
I had the privilege to attend a charity screening event attended by Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley (the main actors in the film). It was an event I’ll …
No Reservations
I love it when Catherine Zeta-Jones acts. She is gracing maturely and is truly beautiful no matter what her age is.
In this movie story, she acted alongside Aaron Eckhart and this is a very beautiful story that I suppose would be very popular with loads of chefs …
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 …
Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
Avengers: Age of Ultron - Superhero Movie (2015)
Being a big Marvel fan, and having loved ‘The Avengers’ movie of 2012, I had high expectations for its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the movie was watchable, I was let down by a seemingly weak story line and lost acting. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie and I …
Wanted
“Wanted” is the most recent Angelina Jolie success movie. Although this is labelled a Jolie movie, in reality “Wanted” is all about the actor, James McAvoy and the director, Timur Bekmambetov great talents! This movie was very much well received by critics and the general public.
It is very difficult …
Half Light DVD
I just watched this film last night. It’s a 2006 romantic thriller, Demi Mooore movie, where she played as a best seller author and a loving mom. Her son died from an drowning accident and so she decided to move on with country side to get over that incident …
‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ Movie
I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …
The Darling Buds of May
I had never heard of the British TV series “The Darling Buds of May” until I saw a DVD set available at our local library. Now that I have watched it, I can’t help wondering why this show is so little known; it turned out to be so good.
Based …
Stomp the Yard (starring Columbus Short)
Before you guys go into thinking that Stomp the Yard is not worth it, think again. Sure, this movie does has its bad moments, but one word or term that I’ve come to learn would be “stepping”. This is like a lingo known as dancing or step up …
Quantum of Solace (2008) movie
I was completely surprised when I compared this one with those of my favorites Bond movies. I have always been a great fan of Bond movies and have watched almost all of them. I have to say that this movie really disappointed me and hurt my expectations. First of …
Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.
As it turns out, it was actually a pretty good …

The original released ate for this movie was May 12, 1995 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Thriller and stars Denzel Washington as Lt. Commander …
13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.
The movie is about a young girl, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) who goes to bed as an uncool thirteen-year-old and wakes up the next morning in an unfamiliar …
Ice Age 3
We got a chance to finally see the movie Ice Age 3 (we were going to see it in the theater, but my wife was too far along in her pregnancy at the time). It was worth the wait.
This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
The Baader-Meinhof Complex movie
I suppose watching The Baader-Meinhof Complex has totally alerted me to appreciate movie making of this genre very much. This is quite a deep movie and I have a certain analysis after watching it. In a world now where there are issues of terrorism and many more, watching …
Film The Collector (1965)
William Wyler’s The Collector, filmed in 1965, is possibly one of the most disturbing films ever made. It is a suspense film and a character study and one of the bleakest at that, as well.
Freddie (Terrence Stamp) is a lonely man who likes to collect butterflies. Having, …
Hook (movie)
Hook was a movie full of great moments and acting. I really thought that Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman did a great job of acting in this film. Dustin Hoffman played the infamous Captain Hook. He really looked and sounded like Hook. He was very funny and did a really …
Nanny McPhee
Mary Poppins she ain’t. But Nanny McPhee does have a mysterious charm all her own. The story is familiar. Unruly children need a nanny to keep them in their place. But their dad, struggling at working for the undertaker while trying to raise all his kids, helped unfortunately by …

The Getaway (1994)
Doc McCoy, played by Alec Baldwin, and his wife Carol McCoy, played by Kim Basinger, are out for one more score. Getting themselves prepared is not a very bad thing to day at all, and if one is to be good at the craft one does, then practice is …
What Happens in Vegas, romantic comedy film
It is usually a safe bet to put Ashton Kutcher in a movie and see big numbers. The same goes for Cameron Diaz. What Happens in Vegas didn’t exactly change the way we view comedy movies, but it was enough to earn almost a hundred million dollars in box …
Movie Quarentine (2008)
Quarantine is a horror movie that came out in 2008. It was directed by a man named John Erick Dowdle. He also wrote the screenplay. I have never heard of this director before and am not aware if he has done any other movies. However, he did a …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a hidden gem of a movie. Jim Carey, in my opinion, gives the best performance of his career and funny enough, this isn’t a comedic role. Some of the movie has comedic relief, but this is in no way a …
One Hundred Men And A Girl movie
One Hundred Men And A Girl is an old film, made in 1937, about a girl who organizes an orchestra. The girl, Patsy, pulls together the orchestra because Patsy and her father need the work, as do the group of musicians, who are all without jobs at the present. …
Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
Green Dragon movie
Green Dragon (2004) is an independent film based on a true story about Vietnamese refugees as they arrive at Camp Pendleton at the end of the Vietnam conflict. It’s a story that hasn’t been told before, and it’s very well done.
Timothy Linh Bui directed the movie which stars …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Director: Zooey Deschanel. Featuring: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt.
This is not a sequel to the 2003 Hulk. This time the writers and the director take a brand new approach. They reboot the story of how he had got to be the …
Movie The Kingdom
It is a true pity that the movies “The Kingdom” and “Rendition” were released in the same year. I feel that these are both true exceptional movies with a great message to send across to humanity; however they will end up being compared with each other.
These movies tackle …
Eagle Eye movie
Looking for a good movie with sweet action shots? then hit up Eagle eye the moving is a good one for the action lover. I thought the movie was great up until the point that the person running everything was a high- tech secret computer, LAME! That ruined it …
Date Movie
I once read a review about some of the worst movies released in the year of 2006, and it listed the movie “Date Movie” as one of the worst. However, even though I didn’t think that the movie was particularly good and hilarious, I still did not see it …
Raising Arizona

Red Eye (2005 movie)
This is a pretty straight forward thriller, meanie that is not very hard to follow and, it is a reasonable good movie. It’s about a woman who is befriended at the airport and later held captive on a flight heading to Florida. She is instructed by her captor to …
“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …
1408
I always wait for these suspense horror movies to come out. I just had to go see 1408 as soon as it hit the theatres. I love John Cusack in movies and i like this type of movie so i thought this movie may be pretty good to go …
The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines
I liked the first Librarian movie “Quest for the Spear” so I figured I would give the sequel “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” a try.
It turned out to be an OK movie but it wasn’t as good as the original.
You have the same guy playing the Librarian. Only this …
Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …
