Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
An American Haunting Movie
I don’t if anyone has seen the movie the An American Haunting but, if you have then either A. you were confused as I was or B. fell a sleep! I did both these options not because I wanted to only for the reason the movie seemed to just …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Out of curiosity in college, I watched this movie. That was because of my professor in Graphics and Special Effects who recommended this to the class saying this has a good special effects sample. Well, it did not fail me. The transformation of humans into grotesque …
“Star Wars: Phantom Menace” (1999 Film)
The 1999 film “Star Wars: Phantom Menace” was just as wonderful as the other films before it. I didn’t think that I would be a fan of the Star Wars movies, but each time I watch a new one I find myself falling in love with them all over …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.

Summer School
In the year 2000 we have “High School Musical” but in the 80’s they used to have “Summer School”. It seems really funny to compare these two movies with each other because they represent two different generations and two different ways of making teen movie.
In “High School Musical” we …
He’s Just not that into you movie
I rented the movie “He’s just not that into you” from blockbuster about a week ago. I watched it as soon as I received it in the mailbox. Overall I enjoyed the movie because it was different than other chick flicks. I must admit that the movie got a …
Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
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. …

Starship Troopers (movie 1997)
Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, Jake Busey and Dina Meyer star in this sci-fi/thriller/action/drama type movie. Filmed looking like a commercial, it takes us to a far away planet where bugs rule. War is waged and alot of beings die…this is a very bloody movie, and that …

Barefoot (2014 movie)
After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …
RV Movie
I had high hopes for the movie RV when it was released in theaters. The previews for this movie look great in my opinion, and Robin Williams typically starts to very good movies. When i went to go see this is the theater I went in with high hopes …
The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
“It’s Complicated” movie
The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …
Movie: Iron Man 2
When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.
When they came out with the sequel, Iron Man 2, I once again figured it would be a movie …
The Rocketeer
When I was a teenager, i remember seeing the Rocketeer movie advertized. Though I wasn’t into that sort of stuff then, I was more busy trying to rebel from my parents and anything that resembled childhood, I was nonetheless intrigued about this film and wanted to see it. Though …
We Are Marshall DVD
Sometimes, the unexpected happens when you’re watching a movie. This is the second time I can remember when I thought I was going to watch a sports movie and ended up watching a flick about the human spirit. The first time was when I saw “Brian’s Song” with …
Cop Out movie
Cop Out is a movie which falls flat and a passable fare which trenches into deep falls scene by scene. When Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan share the screen for a police comedy, the expectations were to see a rollicking comedy and gags of laugh. But unfortunately Cop Out …
Yeh Hai Jalwa (movie), 2002
Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …

A Frozen Flower (a Korean Movie)
If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …

Diamonds are Forever, movie
Picking up where “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” leaves off, “Diamonds are Forever” is one of the weaker Bond movies in the series and a personal low for Sean Connery. It’s a shame that the original James Bond returned for this one as he should have left the franchise …

Hell’s House movie
Hell’s House from 1932 is not going to go down as a favorite film of mine. There wasn’t all that much outstanding about it. In fact, it was all pretty average. The one, or should I say two things that it had going for it was …
Ninotchka
I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …
Never Been Kissed movie
Normally, when I see a movie that has Drew Barrymore in it, I enjoy it tremendously.
However, Never Been Kissed was a disappointment to me. I’m not sure if the whole concept of a reporter posing to be a high school student just didn’t seem believable enough or if there …
Bewitched
Once again Nicole Kidman has shown what a valuable asset she is to hollywood. Her performance in bewitched is spell binding and applaudable. Her karisma leaves as all bedazzled! Bewitched is definitely one of her finest work along with funny man and co-star Will Farrell. Will has shown off …
Sidewalk Soiler
Sidewalk Soiler is the 5th episode of the 1st season of Tripping the Rift. For their adventure this time around they have decided to move into the science fiction television cliche of the person who comes to a new planet and accidentally breaks the harsh laws of the …
Death Proof
Death Proof is the first “episode” of the recent grindhouse. Now personally i didn’t like this movie at all, it was very long, it took forever to get to the action, there are litterarily like 50 minutes of talking which lead to no real action. The movie itself is …
Joker of the Dark Knight
For superhero lover, Joker isn’t a newbie. He’s arrogant, scary yet frightening. And he’s brilliant though. There are several actor who had played this role in the movie. But comparing all of those actors, the best one for me is the last Joker in Batman’s movie, The Dark Knight, …
Alien Nine Episode One
Alien Nine is one of those awesome anime series you only hear about and buy on a whim. After you watch all four episodes and read the mangas you spend several weeks kicking yourself for not looking into it sooner. Well that’s how I felt when I walked away …

I had some free time yesterday because I decided to take the day off from work and didn’t have my youngest daughter like I thought would be the case. Since I had to wait for my wife to get home before leaving to do something, I ended up looking …
Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the other day with my whole bunch of friends and it was a very good movie. I love everything about this movie, even though it’s a guy type of movie. The action sequences are not bad, there are lots of humor …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
The Kingdom movie
This movie started off kind of slow and boring in the very beginning. When you get into the movie though it is really good. It kept me interested in what was going on. You do kind of have to pay attention to make sure you understand it all, …
BASEketball
