Embrace of the Serpent (2015 Colombian Adventure-Drama Film)
There is always this magnificent beauty that the nature emits. It is something so rare especially for people like me who have lived in the city for so many years now. Away from all the trees, untainted rivers, and the calming sound of the creatures that add peace to the …

Lucky Number Sleven
The Kansas City Shuffle. I would love to go up to a random man, waiting in a bus station, only to talk about the Kansas City Shuffle, as Bruce Willis did at the beginning of this wonderful movie. I enjoy every single movie that I’ve seen with Bruce Willis, …
Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …

Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.

The Brontes of Haworth
It is a very rare situation that I cannot finish watching a movie. Especially a British one, and especially related to British classic authors. However, this is what happened with this one; I had surprised myself by being unable to finish even the first episode.
It is hard to say …
Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …

All about Steve Movie (2009)
I must have watched this movie 10 times already. It is really special. It is a funny, light, love comedy. At the same time, it does not strictly follow the typical structure of a romantic comedy. All About Steve is just a little bit to weird to fit the …
Kung Fu Panda Secrets of the Furious Five. A Movie
I recently had the opportunity to watch this movie on the Disney Channel and I have to say that I loved it. Directed by John Stevenson and released in 2008 by Paramount Pictures this was a fantastic movie that made me laugh and smile just like I was a …
Strictly Sexual Movie
The title ‘Strictly Sexual’ invariably attracts the attention of youngsters and middle-aged people. I also chose to watch this movie, mainly because I am interested in what the movie is about, given the seductive name. However, after I watched it, ‘Strictly Sexual’ is just an ordinary movie with a …
Blame It On Rio movie (1984)
Anyone who wants to sit back and forget their problems for a couple of hours should rent “Blame It On Rio.” It is one of those romantic comedies that is so much fun, I want to see it practically every time it airs on TV. It centers around Matthew …
Movie The DaVinci Code
I was apprehensive about watching ‘The DaVinci Code’ as books turned into movies rarely translate well to the big screen. I must admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, a professor of cryptology, who is the chief suspect in the murder of Jacques …
Ghostrider
Nicholas Cage seems to make like ten movies a year. Okay, maybe not that many, but he definitely puts out like two per year. Three years ago he came out with Lord of War and The Weatherman back to back. I liked Lord of War but not so much …
Just Go With It Movie
When I first saw this showing in the trailers I said I really needed to watch this as it featured Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, and I saw this the first day it was out and boy I never regretted it! The movie is all about a very successful …

Movie Mobsters
Mobsters with Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, Richard Grieco, Costas Mandylor, and Anthony Quinn.
With this group of limited actors, I never gave this movie a chance. Perhaps I was wrong. The movie is based upon the early years of four soon to be infamous …
Road to Eternity movie
The second part in Kobayashi’s trilogy about Kaji is the best one in my opinion. Here he has been transferred to “the field”, right in the face of war. The biggest trouble for him is not to stay alive in the battles, but to avoid fights with his fellow …
American Meth documentary
In the year 2007, I would have thought that a more in depth methamphetamine documentary could have been made. Kudos to the creators for casting Val Kilmer as the narrator. His voice has plenty of presence, and you forget that it’s even him speaking. However, this …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13
RomeoXJuliet Episode 13 begins with Juliet being taken to Lord Montague and being sentenced to death. Her loyalist followers decide to break her out of jail while Lord Montague confronts Romeo about Juliet.

Jason Goes to Hell (Rated Version)
Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth, and supposedly last movie in the Friday the 13th series of horror movies. The movie itself has been panned by fans because it completely disregards the other movies. In this one we are led to believe that Jason isn’t the ordinary man …

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring
The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (hereafter “Fellowship”) is the first movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In many ways, it is also the best of the three. Of course each has its own unique strengths. There is not a …
Beowulf movie
I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …
The Matrix movie

Movie Idiocracy
One other movie I ended up watching on TV this past weekend was a movie called Idiocracy. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s from the same people who brought us Beavis and Butthead and, while I did watch the show when I was younger, I wasn’t …

Wonderful acting by this man AGAIN!!
After *Pursuit of Happiness* didnt think THIS MAN could top it but… he DOES 10 FOLD!!!
Its about a scientist ( Smith) that helps create a *cure* for cancer .. but then something goes wrong, much like the T-virus …
Pinnochio movie
The movie ‘Pinnochio’ made me feel really disappointed. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful has been my all time favorite. I watched Pinnochio hoping that it would be as good as Life is Beautiful but I was utterly disappointed. Not in comparison with Life is Beautiful but the movie Pinnochio …

Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Movie Leon
In Leon (The Professional), the movie, is the first time that I ever saw Natalie Portman in a movie, and she was pretty young back then. Being young did not seem to faze this great actress, however, as she played the part of Mathilda beautifully. Not only does …
Happy Feet
Movies about penguins seem to have come out of nowhere in the recent months. With the obsession over March of the Penguins and the glee over Happy Feet, people are fascinated by penguins and the rituals surrounding them as they grow up.
An approximation of the true nature of how …
Save the Green Planet, South Korean film
Movies branching off into numerous genres tend to fail in the dumpster. If the director can manage to pull things off right then you have a pretty good movie on your hands. Save the Green Planet combines so many different kinds of movie genres that you will loose track …
1408 (DVD)
I was curious to watch this movie when my friends started to talk about how shocking this movie was. So I went to search this movie. I found myself watching it right at the same day when I bought the DVD. 1408 tells a story of Mike Enslin (John …
A night in the museum
Well, this movie is fascinating. It’s a different story altogather but the plot is not different or a good one. It starts like, there is a man who is sort of jobless and is having troubles. His son wants to emulate someone else and not him. The man wants …
Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties
We got Garfield, Tale of Two Kitties last week and were very impressed. It was a great family movie that had a great mix of action and comedy. I only wish I could have gotten my energetic 2-year-old to watch more of it.
I found myself laughing every few seconds …
The Happening Movie
A movie I never heard of and have never even seen in posters was downloaded by my brother to a DVD copy. It was supposed to be a thriller mystery movie, but it kind of left me wondering about the movie more than being able to understand it. The …
A Bug’s Life animation film
I really like this animation film so much. Although I am already an adult I still find it a very enjoyable one. I love it so much since it has a lot of lessons learned. As a viewer it left me with lots of points to ponder on. I …
Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
Hydra movie
The first time I had heard of the movie “Hydra” was when I had seen it advertising on the cable television channel SyFy. Even then, I could clearly see that it was going to be one of SyFy’s usual B-rated creature horror films, and when I had decided to …

Paul - Unrated (2011) - Movie
Oh, how I wanted to like this movie! It’s got an impressive cast, including Simon Pegg, Kristin Wiig, Jane Lynch, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, even a cameo by Steven Spielberg! Casting Seth Rogen as the wise-cracking alien wasn’t my problem though. I felt that this was …
