No Smoking Movie
I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …

Edge of Tomorrow (movie)
It took me three tries to watch this movie. I gave up on it the first two times because I was tired and irritated and didn’t have the patience to wait for it to get to the point. On the third time however, when I wasn’t feeling so tired I …
Motion Picture “Dirty Dancing”
The movie Dirty Dancing was released in 1987. It was such a big hit that someone attempted to make the movie into a tv show the following year. Unfortunately the show was just awful and only lasted a few episodes. I was a kid at the …
Movie The Bad Seed
I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …

Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …

Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors
One of my favorite films in the Nightmare On Elm Street series is the third installment Dream Warriors. With a talented cast which includes Patricia Arquette, Lawerence Fishbure and Jennifer Rubin and a dynamite premise which acted as if part two never happened, Dream Warriors is one of …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 13
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 13 is about what they call a fair trade. This episode starts out with Neelix inquiring about helping out in engineering or a security detail on Voyager. I believe Neelix feels his usefulness to Captain Janeway has come to an end because they …

Linkin Park are one of the biggest alternative rock bands in the world. Their sound is unique, which is the reason for the longevity, and every new album incorporates a new form. From basic rock in —˜Hybrid …
The Dead Zone
King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …
Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
Mission Impossible 3 (movie)
My boyfriend and I are serious movie freaks…we own a serious amount of DVD’s and go to see new movies all the time. So naturally, we went to see M:I 3 on it’s opening weekend. Theatres were packed. Line ups and waits were ridiculous. And as always, you had …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
Practical Magic Movie
A bewitching story of self acceptance.

Movie The Devils
The Devils is a film from long ago that involves the murder of a Catholic priest. This priest, Father Grandier, is supposedly one of the witches and he subsequently pout through all the horrible things that witches were at that point in time. This was a time of hysteria …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
The Air I Breathe
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …
Homeward Bound 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …
Twilight
Before the movie Twilight came into theaters, I heard many preposterous comments about this movie. I even heard these brutal comments about the book, from whom most did not even read. Before I started my grasp on the Twilight Saga, I was confidental about not reading them, knowing what …
Eurotrip Movie
I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …
Remember the Titans (2000)
Remember the Titans, directed by Boaz Yakin is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for thematic elements and some language. The original release date for this movie was September 29, 2000 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Sport and stars Denzel …
Return Of The Vampire Columbia Tri-Star DVD
Bela Lugosi is once again out for blood in Return Of The Vampire, produced in 1944 by Columbia pictures. This is one of my favorite vampire movies, and I still remember seeing it on late night TV in my youth.
Lugosi plays Armand Tesla, the “depraved Romanian scientist” …
Jaws
Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …

Dawn of the Dead
What many people do not understand is that there are two versions of “Dawn of the Dead”. There is the one from 2004 which I have based my review on, and then, there is the one from 1978 which I have not watched. Dawn of the dead (2004) …
Independence day
Well, what an intriguing mystery on how the aliens (if there are) may look like was given a hypothetical description in this movie. Yes, it is possible that our technology here on earth may be a little rusty but perhaps those aliens could have done something about their …
Spirited Away (2001 film)
One of my favorite Japanese directors Hayao Miyazaki, has done a wonderful job in creating the 2001 Japanese animation “Spirited Away”. The characters in this movie are relatable and ones that I quickly fell in love with, and I am sure that many other people can truly enjoy this …
Lion king 2
This was an alright movie. I liked the first one a lot better than the second one. It was still alright though. I enjoyed seeing all of the characters again in the movie. It was a lot shorter than the first one but I am kind of glad it …
The Next Karate Kid
Hilary Swank does a wonderful job as an angst-filled teenager who is in desperate need of Mr. Miagee’s teaching and guidance.
I was always a big fan of The Karate Kid, all three of them in fact. But, I’m a girl, and Danny was a boy. So, as …
Where Angels Go Trouble Follows!
After the tremendous success of The Trouble with Angels, Mother Superior and her nuns are back with Where Angels Go Trouble Follows! Now, it’s a decent sequel, one of the few movie sequels that can almost approach the original. The difference is that while the performers here …
Leatherheads
I absolutely hate George Clooney movies. So, when I picked up Leatherheads, I will confess my expectations were a bit low. However, after watching the movie, I do feel my low expectations were justified. It just wasn’t any good.
I liked the concept behind this movie. There are plenty of …
Monkey business movie
A not so well known film with the fabulous Marx brothers. This time they hide on board a luxury boat as free passengers, and the misunderstandings quickly start to grow.
What is interesting about these brothers are the roles divided. Groucho is the verbal part, and in courting to many …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
Sense and Sensibility Movie
Sense and Sensibility, 1995, starring Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson is a very good adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic. When their father dies, the Dashwood family is left with very little means to live on. The house and everything in it is inherited by Mr. Dashwood’s son John from …
Due South: Free Willie
Due South: Free Willie reminded me of a series I watched a lot called McCloud. In that show, Dennis Weaver played a United States Marshal from Taos, New Mexico who was temporarily assigned to duty in New York City. He was a fish out of water, but …
D-x wrestling faction
D-Generation X was a professional wrestling faction bought in by the World Wrestling Federation to rival the New World Order which was running rampant on the WWF’s Rival, World Championship Wrestling.
One thing that made the original D-X so unique and popular was their lack of respect for anything …
The Changeling movie
“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Movie: Scary Movie 4
Synopsis: This 4th installment of the Scary Movie franchise spoofs the movie War of the Worlds with a group of people looking to escape from an alien invasion. Along they way, the movie also manages to spoof everything from Saw to Brokeback Mountain.
What I liked about this movie: I’m …
George Romero’s Land of The Dead
This is a very underrated movie. Most zombie movies are all about gore and blood. This movie isn’t just a typical zombie movie though. In this movie, the zombies get smart and start to adapt. They begin living as if they were still alive, establishing communities of the living …
Robot Chicken Volume One DVD
I fell in love with Robot Chicken the first instant I saw it. If you’ve never seen the show, here it is in a nutshell: Action figures combined with claymation used in stop-motion animation to make fun of anything and everything pop culture, most commonly the pop-culture of …
Happy Feet Movie
I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …
The Outer Limits : “Second Soul” episode
I rented the Outer Limits : Death and Beyond series because I’m truly a creepy person. I’ve always loved the Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside. So, I thought that this would be a natural DVD choice for someone like me. Boy was I …
Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I am reviewing the movie, Don’t Mess with the Zohan, starring Adam Sandler and a variety of other actors. So…how to explain this movie? There’s this Pakistinian guy named Zohan and he’s really popular. He fights terrorist groups. What he really wants to do is to cut hair, …
