20th Century Women (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …
Anaconda movie
A film crew is captured by an insane man in the jungle, and they are forced to go on a boat journey and face an even greater danger - the huge and most deadly anaconda snake. One by one they fall victim to this unspeakable monster. Is anyone going …
Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
There are so many ways this movie could be reviewed. The best way, would be to really pin point everything. When you’re landed with a great movie to critic it can be difficult but with enough thought and effort put into it negative aspects can in fact be found, …
Charlie’s Angels
I must give credit to Drew Barrymore for bringing to the big screen “Charlie’s Angels” with the girls not using firearms but instead using martial arts to defend themselves. The angels Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz had to undergo 3 months martial arts training …
The Italian Job, movie (1969)
Chances are, you know who Michael Caine is. The Prestige, Inception and the recent trio of Batman films are only a few of the films to showcase his talents. Yet, there was a period where no one outside of England knew who he was. Thanks to …
Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …

Se7en (1995 Classic Thriller Film)
When everyone else is busy watching the seemingly endless mediocre movies put out by today’s filmmakers who happens to only entertain, I’m here digging up classics which I thought would be medicine to my ever needing needs for great films.
It’s been my tradition to watch classic films now and then. …
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Space Opera Movie (2015)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a 2 hour 15 minute masterpiece. I watched the movie in IMAX 3D, a format I definitely recommend to anyone that has not watched the movie because the visuals are outstanding. I’m now excited to see how this new Star Wars trilogy will unfold.
The …
Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (movie)
I was expecting something a little bit more “comprehensive” and less “jumpy.” I got that Melvin Van Peebles wanted to make a film that would address some of the ills affecting the black community following civil rights. But his choice in using a sex performer named …
Homeward Bound
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound. I am a huge fan of dogs, and so this movie was perfect for me. I love it. Homeward Bound is about a family of three kids, Peter, Hope, and Jaime. Each kid has a pet. Peter has a Golden …
Madea’s Family Reunion
Incorporating the talents of such legends as Dr. Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson along with the inspirational storyline, Tyler Perry has done it again. If you are not familiar with the extremely popular Tyler Perry plays and movies, you are missing out on what many believe to be classics …
For Those Who Think Young movie
Movies in the early to mid-sixties often dealt with one thing; well, maybe two — the beach and young love. That’s exactly what 1964’s For Those Who Think Young is about. It stars James Darren and Pamela Tiffin. Darren plays Gardner ‘Ding’ Pruitt III. He’s …
The Aviator, movie
You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …
Star Trek 1991 Cachet
As a stamp collector and a huge Star Trek fan, I jumped at the chance to get this cool-looking collectible. The Star Trek 1991 Cachet was issued by Paramount Pictures, in association with the United States Postal Service, in celebration of Star Trek’s twenty-fifth anniversary.
It’s an awesome display …
Swordfish movie
Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …
Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …
Man of Steel, movie
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: Superman is lame. There, I said it, and now I’ll probably have to run and hide inside some bunker until the geek rage dies. And it’s strange, because I’m also a geek. A geek that loves comics and computer games, …
Illusion travels by streetcar movie
One of Bunuel’s less known films tells a story about a couple of mexican crooks hijacking a street car in Mexico City. It takes place in one whole day and these crooks experience a number of different things they would never had expected. It feels a lot like a …
Dirty Deeds, 2005
“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …
Breakin All The Rules Movie
Breakin all the rules
This movie is basically about how the wrong people are in relationships together and then they eventually get with their soulmate or so it seems. That was my interpretation of it but i am sure if someone else watched it, they will say another story. Why? …
Shortbus (movie)
One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …
Three Men and a Little Lady

The World’s End 2013 Movie
Every month there’s a movie release offering at least a couple of stories where human civilization is threatened by a dark force that is ultimately neutralized with more or less physical or intellectual effort.
In “The World’s End” it is the British actor Simon Pegg’s turn to save the planet. …
Disclosure (1994)
This movie is one part dealing with sexual harassment in the work place and the other part is dealing with fraud and top executives who will stop at nothing to cover their tracks. In the first instance of this movie, the viewers are taken on a journey through the …
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
I have to say that I loved Ace Ventura Pet Detective the first time I saw it. I must say this is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jim Carey was at his very best in this movie. This was back in the …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …
Transformers
Although it is essentially a live-action film, Transformers blows Ratatouille out of the water when it comes to computer animation; the CG sequences in Michael Bay’s latest film are simply incredible, pushing computer graphics to the verge of realism. The film as a whole is a wild ride, with …
Never Been Kissed
Never Been Kissed is a pretty good movie. I really liked it. It shows how love can still really be found in this world. I think that Drew barrymore did a very good job of acting. Her acting was just so magical. I really liked the plot and the story …
Nightmare on Elm Street the remake (2010 Film)
While I never saw the original movie of Nightmare on Elm Street, I have to say that the remake was for the most part enjoyable in the realm of horror movies. This film also made me want to watch the original film so that I would have something to …
KL Menjerit (KL Shout)
This is a Malay movie that I’ve watched before, with English subtitles. This is an extremely must watch movie for those of you whom are so into bikes and into group bikes. Watch this and hopefully, one will stop illegal racing. The Director has made a movie …

The adults in this family must leave town on business and before they leave they recruit the services of a babysitter, a sitter that is up in age and very fragile and rigid at the same time. Unfortunately, one day the children who were being taken care of by …
Yes Man Movie
This is one of the many movies I have seen in the theaters, which is the best place to watch really good inspirational movies. That’s what this movie did for me- it inspired me. After watching this movie, I realized all the things I’ve never done and all the …
Irreversible Movie
My friend has been hounding me to watch Irreversible, starring Monica Belluci. She said that it was the most horrific rape scene she had watched and even said that people walked out during it�s showing in disgust. So I was finally able to buy the DVD and watched it …
Scoop movie
Scoop is a comedy atypical for Woody Allen. A comedy situated on the border between Allen’s specific black comedies, a classic romantic comedy and a mystery thriller. Another unusual element in Scoop is Scarlett Johansson, who stars in my opinion in one of his best roles. She is a …
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is a very funny show indeed. If you have not yet watch this, I highly recommend. I will always love Garfield. He is just so, so funny. And especially a good watch with the voice-over by Bill Murray.
You …
Film Up
Could a thousand balloons filled with helium gas really uproot a house from the ground and send it hovering in the sky for many days? Is it really possible for an old man and a boy to travel inside a flying house in open air without feeling out of …
Contraband (2012 Movie)
With so many movie trailers exploiting all their best parts, it’s rare that a movie is better than I expected from the trailer; this is the case with Contraband. I expected a fast-paced, “Gone in 60 Seconds”-style movie, and while it delivers that, it delivers a lot more.
There are …
Movie: “Night at the Museum” (2006)
I have to say this is one of my all-time favorite Ben Stiller movies. I’m not really a Stiller fan; the only movie he’s really “acted” in was the hilarious Zoolander; otherwise, he always plays the same character: neurotic, a little nerdy, uncommitted, but with a good soul. He …
The Great Global Warming Swindle
The Great Global Warming Swindle was the right’s answer to Al Gore’s famous and popular documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It goes against the grain of current thought on the warming of the earth and attacks some of the incorrect facts stated in Mr. Gore’s documentary.
Unlike Mr. Gore’s film, …
Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin
I enjoyed this movie since I was quite young. I was first introduced to these characters in the bok the movie was based upon, ‘By The Great Horn Spoon!’ The big disappointment to me was the great sequences on the ship were not but a blink of an eye …
The Phantom Carriage movie
The most famous and successful film by swedish silent master filmmaker Victor Seastrom depicts a novel by nobel prize winner Selma Lagerlof, about an alcoholic getting picked up by the ghost who drives The Phantom Carriage to the land of the dead. The alcoholic - played by Seastrom himself …
Princess Mononoke (US Version)
Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …
Double Team (1997)

Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …
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 …
