My Mom’s New Boyfriend (movie)
I am not usually a fan of the romance comedy genre of film, but when I heard about the plot of this film somewhere a few years ago, I decided that I wanted to watch it. However, I was a little skeptical about how enjoyable I would find it …
Pirahna 3D: The Movie
“Piranha 3D” was the predictable horror movie I expected it to be. It’s Spring Break, and a local small town is bombarded with sex-crazed and drunken college students at their lake. The main character, Jake, is the son of the local sheriff. She asks him to …
The Contender
I’ll just start with the part I didn’t like. I didn’t like the speech at the end by the President as played by Jeff Bridges. I had liked his character up until then but something about the way it was written seemed obvious to me somehow. Maybe in this …

“The Wedding Date” (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The Wedding Date” is in the genre of romantic comedy, and while it surely did deliver on the comedy level, I am not so sure the movie was something I could enjoy more than once. I found the plot to be sort of “Pretty Woman” backwards …
Notting Hill with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts
This movie is set in Notting Hill, and is the story of a bookstore owner who meets and falls in love with a movie star(Julia Roberts). The movie star also feels the same way, but they have a typical set of problems between the media and his goofy roommate.
His …
Crazy, Stupid, Love Movie (2011)
Crazy, stupid, love. Is by far one of the best comedies of all time. Watching this movie was a very uplifting and refreshing experience. The movie stands out in the myriad of bad, empty and stupid romantic comedies that were released in the last few years. I practically gave …
Sherlock Holmes 2009: The Movie
Sherlock Holmes is another great performance by Robert Downy Jr. who keeps the story extremely entertaining and exciting. Although at times the plot can be expected, it continues to keep mostly everyone interested in the movie. The plot is fun and exciting to watch as Sherlock Holmes puts together …
Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Netflix
NetFlix is an awesome way to watch the movies you are interested in. I became a customer several years ago when a girlfriend of mine recommended it. I was at her house, and asked what the red and white envelopes were on her kitchen table. She explained everything about …
Kwaidan movie
Kwaidan is an episode film following four different horror stories. The director is Masaki Kobayashi, and here he gets to prove what he could do with color film. This might well be the most visually stunning piece of cinema I have ever experienced. Not only is the depth and …

Transformers: The Michael Bay Movie
When there were rumors about this movie coming out, I was pretty sketpical on how well it could be done. Yeah special effects have come a long way in the past few years and we have computer graphics that make the most outlandish things appear real, but could the …
Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …
Strange Wilderness (starring Steve Zahn)
I went to watch Strange Wilderness before with my best friend and we were just choosing it at random. The cast is pretty unknown to us except for Steve Zahn, which I couldn’t quite put a name to him. And if you are trying to find Bigfoot, you …
Pursuit of Happyness
How lucky is Will Smith to be able to act with his real life son Jaden? What a fine performance the two of them put in to make Pursuit of Happyness such a joy to see. It is the story of hope, tenacity, desperation, all the things humans in …
Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …

An Education movie
In the avalanche of poor films of 2010, I thought to bring to your attention a film from 2009, which, if you missed it somehow, it would worth seeing it in the weekend.
An Education, is a movie that was nominated for three-time at Oscars in 2010. This is an …
Lady in the Water (PG-13, 2006) movie
This movie got a really bad rap. I think that M. Night Shyamalan makes some really great films. I knew that this movie would not be “scary” because of the things that were said before it was released. But what people have to understand about this …
The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
Red Eye
Red Eye is a suspense thriller movie that is about a man, Jackson, who is on a path to kill a government official. Jackson wants Lisa to help him kill this person. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? The part about this movie that I did not get is …

The Artist’s Circle is a small, artsy independent film that stars Michael Shanks, most known for his role as Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. In this short drama from 2000, Shanks plays ‘the artist’. He’s promised his critics a masterpiece that they won’t forget. Among the …
A Clockwork Orange movie
Written by Anthony Burgess in 1962, the film came out in 1971 and was directed by the late Stanley Kubrick, my personal favorite. With stunning visuals shot from all angles, Kubrick managed to take this story to a higher level. The book and the movie, however, have entirely different endings.
I …
The Woman in White,1982 movie
“The Woman in White,” 1982, mini-series is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the Wilkie Collins mystery novel. Mini-series, in my opinion, is the best way to film Victorian classics: you don’t have to cram a huge book in a one and a half hour movie and therefore …
Source Code 2011 Movie
I watched this movie only once, but it made a rather big impression on me nonetheless, and I would like to describe this impression below.
I started watching this film without having any idea of what the plot was going it be. I only knew that it was going to …
For Colored Girls (2010 Film)

For Colored …
“The Toolbox Murders” (1978 Film)

Iron Man (2008 Film)
The 2008 movie, “Iron Man” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow has always been a movie that I have seen on the TV but flipped passed the channel because I assumed it would be like every other super hero movie. Also, because it didn’t look like it would …
The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
The Bit Hit Movie
This is one of my favorite movies starring Mark Wahlberg, this was one of the movies including Fear which he got so famous in and what makes it more funny is that Lou Diamond Philips stars as the antagonist here. It’s a comedy film although the plot isn’t and …

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers movie
A musical for all ages and a definite must have to any movie collector. I first saw this movie in childhood and to this day my family can still hear me using quotes from the film in addition to singing (offkey i might add) the ever popular tunes. Seven …
Movie Election
Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …

Demolition Man
This is one of my favorite Sylvester Stallone movies. I loved the action scenes in this movie and the constant antagonism between him and Wesley Snipes. This movie was definitely not boring in any way and had so many great fight scenes. Wesley Snipes played the perfect nemesis …
Charlie Wilsons War
I watched this movie not to long ago. Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts all played in Charlie Wilson’s War. It was about the cold war, Afghanistan and Russia. It was entertaining and kept me interested the whole movie. I think it probably could have ended better. I felt …
