Idiocracy
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. It’s the story about an average ‘joe’ who gets chosen to participate in a military experiment. He was supposed to be cryogenically frozen for 1 year, but something goes wrong and he wakes up 500 years later. To his suprise society hasn’t …
The Father of the Bride
Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …
Pain and Gain (Film 2013)
Pain and Gain is a film I watched after browsing the web one day and seeing that Dwayne Johnson was going to be staring in one of the roles. I will admit that I am a really big fan of Dwayne Johnson, and I was excited to see him …
Willow (1988 Film)
The 1988 film “Willow” was not only a movie that is suitable for family time, but one that has magic and wonder, and romance, and a whole lot of exciting adventure with a hero who didn’t think he was anything more than a wannabe magician. While this film was …
War of the Worlds
I will be talking about the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. Now the movie is critically acclaimed to be a somewhat terrible movie. Besides one flaw at the very end of the movie, I thought the movie overall was actually brilliant. …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
While I’ve never felt the urge to do any cross dressing, I have to admit I’m almost as big of a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as many of the people who do go that far.
I had never seen this movie until I met my wife and …
Night Shift movie
I absolutely loved Henry Winkler when he portrayed the Fonze on Happy Days. As a movie star, I think he’s OK in a supporting role. When it comes to carrying a movie, like he did in Night Shift, he’s just not that good.
The idea behind Night Shift was a …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …
While You Were Sleeping Movie
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to get your heart’s desire, then watch While You Were Sleeping. Just don’t expect your heart’s desire to look exactly how you thought it would.
Slightly woebegone Lucy (Sandra Bullock), is a token taker for the local commuter train. …
To Kill A Mockingbird
Every individual would like to be respected and receive accolades. People earn respect to build their individuality. It is attained by being honest, diligent, responsible, and benevolent. Respect is a reward one gets in life through the results of one’s …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
Movie Great Expectations
Great Expectations starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke is an average movie with some boring moments. Pip used to go to the house of an old woman everyday and he is a painter and artist from his childhood. Oneday he sees a small girl who is of his age …
Air Force One the Movie
This is one of my all-time favorite movies which I watch every time I get the chance. AXN featured it this afternoon and even though I know this movie by heart, I could not resist watching it again. This is one of Harrison Ford’s unforgettable movies like Indiana Jones …
War of the Worlds (Movie)
The War of the Worlds! A fairly self-explanatory title that suggests destruction, possible alien invasion, and a most likely hero to the story. These are all things that you would expect, from a sci-fi like this. However, I became surprised when I viewed this picture film, that some of …
Angels and Demons- movie
Before listening to others opinions and reading reviews of the movie, I freed my mind from everything that could have stopped me from enjoying this movie. I walked into the theater with unbiased mind, hoping the best. I had been waiting for the release dates of this movie from …
Movie Stranger than Fiction
Had a chance to watch “Stranger than fiction”, a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, …
The Holiday (2006)
The Holiday, written and directed by Nancy Meyers is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America, and stars Cameron Diaz as Amanda, Jude Law as Graham, Kate Winslet as Iris, Jack Black as Miles and Eli Wallach as Author Abbott.
Both Amanda and Iris are at a stage …
The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
Wall-E
Pixar’s always done great work. Even with their already high bar, they raised it with Wall-E. Not only did they raise it, they did it with only half a script.
I kid you not, the first half of this film is practically dialogue free. When I heard …
Babel movie
Late in the 20th century, mankind was introduced to the concept of globalization, although the changes this term refers to can be seen taking place since the dawn of 20th century. As more people are getting aware of this concept and more of its effects are visible, the question …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …
The Odd Couple II
Sequels are often just the worst things under the sun, often taking the original characters to ruin. There are few that really are true to the story, that follow it through and make it all believable. Sometimes you still enjoy the original better, but even so, you …
Agatha Christie’s Murder at the Gallop movie
I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …
Tesla - Comin’ Atcha Live! 2008 DVD
I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …
Loaded Weapon 1
It has been ages since I’ve seen the movie Loaded Weapon 1. And, I have to say, I had completely forgotten just how funny this movie was.
It features Emilio Estevaz before he ruined his career by doing stupid kids movies. And, between his performance as a burned out cop …
Ghostbusters 2
This movie is the sequel the first Ghostbusters movie. It was released roughly five years after the first Ghostbusters movie as well. In this one, unlike a few other sequels of other movies, there is the same cast list for all of the main characters. Just like in “Ghostbusters”, …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …
Into The Woods - The Movie
Last night when I went to watch “Into the Woods”, I was excited with expectations of watching a splendid musical. Although it includes scenes of great quality, I felt it lacks the strength to be called an exceptional movie. It’s a good musical, but the evolution of the characters …
Live Flesh movie
Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …
Movie: Stripes
Synopsis: Two men, who are fed up with their jobs and their lives, decide to enlist in the army. The only problem is, they really don’t seem to fit in there either.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen this film dozens of times and it never gets …
Bewitched
This is another drama romantic movie that I saw in television in Valentine day. Bewitcched is a drama story which has an ordinary story about wo people who fallin in love each other but it with the uniqe thing which is witch as the main problem in the story.
The …
Carol (2015 Film)
I have been an avid follower of the Oscars’ race since 2013, when I was rooting for Gravity (then my favorite film of the year) to win the Best Picture (which would have been the first for a sci-fi film). And since then, I followed and watched all the films …
Bernie, movie (2011)
Director Richard Linklater has one of the more interesting filmographies of his generation. His body of work started with Slacker and would give audiences classics like Dazed & Confused, Waking Life, School of Rock, and A Scanner Darkly. Working once again with Jack Black, Linklater presents an …
Step Up Movie
This is actually a pretty old movie and the first movie that I had ever seen Channing Tatum in. Now, he is more popular than ever, but when this movie came out, I don’t think he was all that popular. Anyway, this is probably the movie that picked up …
Head over Heels comedy
When my wife rented Head Over Heels this weekend I thought, “Great, another chick flick.” But, I was pleasantly surprised to find it both funny and charming.
The movie centers around a museum worker who rents a room shared by a bunch of super models. When the museum worker falls …
Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …
17 Again (2009) film
I have just came back from the theater having watched this film, I must let you know , all my friends and I laughed our lungs out through out the length of the movie, surely what we did might have disturbed those sitting around us. Well, I was really …
Dick comedy
Dick is a comedy movie starring Will Farrell and Kirsten Dunst who is very young in the movie. Betsy and Arlene are two simple and dumb girls living in a apartment, in two different flats with their respective families. One night the girls go out to post an entry …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
Back to the Future
I was a teen when I’d first seen Back to the Future, and I was stunned, just like many other viewers, I’m sure. Time travel was not a new movie theme even back then, but I don’t think anyone had done it this way before: sending the character not …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Click (movie)
Click is a movie about a man who can click a remote control and move his life around from time to time and place to place. Adam Sandler plays the man, Michael, who receives this special ability to click around in his life. I bet you can predict the …
Armageddon Sci Fi Action Disaster Movie
Armageddon is a very chaotic film. Certainly the subject-matter warrants it. Suffice it to say: your brain and all of your visual senses will have a workout. In order that you have no preconceived notions about the movie: just know the best advice is: …
Movie Iron Man
Based on the comics with the same name, Iron Man is one of last summer’s blockbuster movies, starring Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. This film combines several genres, from action to romance and comedy, in a well-built plot. Technology nowadays has allowed this comic book to be …
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
I am reviewing The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1985/1986. This episode sees Watson on a very much needed holiday, while Holmes stays behind in Baker Street. Even far away, however, …
The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)
One of my favorite Christmas films of all time is the 1992 “The Muppets Christmas Carol”. I was a fan of the Muppets as a child and seeing them in a film playing out the roles that I know all too well of the Christmas Carol was really wonderful. …
Finding Nemo
What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …
Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (2001)
A Mediterranean island is invaded by Italy and its population held under martial law, one of the officers falls for the village doctor’s daughter but she isn’t impressed by his initial behavior and she shuns his approaches. Given time, she warms up him as she sees that he is …
