Romancing the Stone movie
The very first thing I became aware of when Romancing the Stone began was how difficult it was to focus on what was happening because during this first bit, the theme music to How the West was Won playing. Of course, it does match what is going on, …

Totally Recalled is one of the more enjoyable episodes of the Tripping the Rift series. The plot revolves for once about Gus, the android played by the brilliant Maurice LaMarche. In fact LaMarche is showcased a lot in this episode, as he plays not only Gus but a …
300 the movie
I am reviewing the movie 300. It just recently came out and I would like to give my opinion on it. I believe 300 is perfect. I can not seem to find a better word to describe it. I found that when I left the theatre I felt bored, …
The Langoliers
Adapted from a short story by Stephen King, The Langoliers is yet another entry into the hit and miss catalogue of mini-series and movies based upon his works.
The story itself is both simple and unsettling; a small group of passengers awaken on a commercial plane midflight to find the …
Paranormal Activity movie
As Paranormal Activity 2 is coming out soon, I thought it was time to sit down and write a review over the first film. Surely everyone by now has been given one opinion or another; this movie is absolutely terrifying and believable or it’s about as scary as an …
Stormbreaker the Movie
Alright, I heard from my friend that this wasn’t really that good of a movie. I’ve read the book and was amazed by Horrowitz talents at writing, so I decided to watch the movie, and the first thing I thought was “Woah, my friend is a big …
Around the Bend
I am reviewing the movie, Around the Bend, starring Michael Caine, Josh Lucas, and Christopher Walken. This movie is about common, everyday things. It is about a young father who is taking care of an older man in his house, while trying to raise his young boy at …
Saw IV (Unrated, 2007) movie
I was not a fan of the Saw movies at first. But by the time the third one was due to be released, I had a newfound respect. This is because I like the way the director and writers have pulled together all three stories into one …
The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
Happy Feet Movie
My five years old son and i were in this dvd store in our neighbourhood. He pick this movie along with another penguin movie. Since i can not provide answers to all of his questions about this movie (this is the first time i have seen this movie), so …

Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …
Lord of War (2005 movie)
This movie tells the true-life story of international gun-runner, people who are paid highly to distribute all manner of weapons across the world. They sell weapons to anyone with enough money to buy them, no questions asked. In Lord of War, it focuses mainly on one of these international …
The Snows of Kilimanjaro movie
The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a rather well known motion picture from 1952 that starred Gregory Peck as Harry Street, Susan Hayward as Helen, and Ava Gardner as Cynthia Green. Also in the film is The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’s Leo G. Carroll as Uncle Bill. I actually …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …

Lenny Live (documentary)
Years ago I watched a documentary on Lenny Kravitz that showed who he was BEFORE he became the big time superstar. It centered a lot on his personal life, and his child with Lisa Bonet, Zoey. In this documentary, Lenny’s daughter is well into her teens …
Up (2009) movie
I went to see this movie early June after hearing wonderful things about it. I had previously watched the Pixar’s other movie WALL-E and loved it, so I had great expectations. I figured Up would also have some kind of global message such respecting the environment in WALL-E; why …
Sex and Breakfast
If everyone ever walks up to you on the street and offers you a movie about group sex that stars Macaulay Culkin, be nice, say no thank you and walk away quickly.
The reason I say this is, the movie likely being offered to you is the film Sex and …
Halloween (2007), slasher film
The director Rob Zombie hasn’t really proven himself with his first two releases, House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil Rejects. Both movies were mediocre, House Of 1000 Corpses was down right awful. Zombie’s sense of style might not have been ready for the big screen but Dimension Films …
DNAngel Episode 6 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 6 has Daisuke trying to figure out what to get his mother for her birthday and learns about how she met his father Kosuke.
This was a very sweet episode and not a lot of anime have episodes that are like this, but even though the plot may …
Audition (movie) 1999
This film has left me pretty stunned and I really need to watch it again. Yes, I think it is very good but it is certainly not to everyone’s taste. There is a rather famous, or infamous, torture scene that is truly agony to experience, but I …
He’s Just Not That Into You - Movie
I thought this is going to be another boring chick flick, but looking at the cast; with Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, I knew deep inside that it is definitely a babes galore! And I’m right. Even if you don’t love this story plot, for guys …
Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
Lucky Number Slevin is a movie that most of yall have probably not heard of but it one of my favorite little unknowns. It is a great crime thriller with a power packed cast which includes Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Lui and Bruce Willis. With all …
Final Destination, movie
Death is alive and well in this film about teenagers dealing with a recent tragedy and trying to survive a fate that was written in stone. “Final Destination” is more than just a film with some creative killings; it’s a movie where death is personified without being a physical …
Sally and Saint Anne movie
This is a wonderful movie about faith and belief, Sally O’Moyne style. Ann Blyth plays Sally, a Catholic teenager who believes in Saint Anne so much that she prays to her for everything. Amazingly, a lot of things begin to happen for Sally when she prays to …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
Hitman: Agent 47, 2015 Action/Thriller Movie
I have always loved the Hitman franchise, and after watching the trailer of this movie, my expectations were at apex. It is the reboot of the 2007 film “Hitman”. Unfortunately, i am disappointed from this movie. It made the original movie film look like a masterpiece. The filmmakers tried to …
Chloe Movie (2010)
I could not imagine Amanda Seyfried to star as a provocative and sexy role as Chloe. When I read about Chloe and how it was released in limited number of theaters, I was curious to see how she would pull it off.

Seven Psychopaths (movie)
The first time I even heard of the movie “Seven Psychopaths” was when I saw the trailer of it somewhere right before it was released. The biggest impression that the trailer made on me was that it didn’t seem to give away a lot of information like some, and …
Shrek 3
Dreamworks’ successful Shrek franchise has more or less lived up to its hype with Shrek 1 and 2; Shrek 3, however, seems to fall short of the witty, fairy-tale spoof we have come to love. Although filled with humorous details and comical dialogue, the story is nothing short of …
The Bit Hit Movie
This is one of my favorite movies starring Mark Wahlberg, this was one of the movies including Fear which he got so famous in and what makes it more funny is that Lou Diamond Philips stars as the antagonist here. It’s a comedy film although the plot isn’t and …
The Phantom (Movie)
The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …
X-Men
I am a big Marvel Comics fan so when there was stories about X-Men being made into a movie, I was thrilled. Unforunately, it took some years for the first movie to come out and I was not happy. I have almost all of the X-Men comics books and …

Pixar, the creator of many animation movies like “Finding Nemo”, “Cars”, etc. This year, they switched their focus on a slightly more heart warming, futuristic and light animation movie: “Wall E”.

Notes on a Scandal (2006)
This was an excellent drama starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, in roles that are quite different than anything else I have seen either of them in.
The two actresses play teachers at a British school. Barbara (Dench) is a closet lesbian, and Sheba (Blanchett) is having an affair with …
I know who killed me
I like Lindsay Lohan, that’s why I decided to watch this movie. Drama? Thriller? Comedy? Mistery? I don’t really know what to call this movie’s genre. It’s about a girl missing, abducted by a serial killer, and instead the found the missing identical …
Return from Witch Mountain movie
Return from Witch Mountain was the first follow up to the Disney favorite, Escape to Witch Mountain. It’s the only one which included the original —˜kids’, Tia and Tony. Now teenagers, both Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann returned as the brother and sister from another world who …
Rock Star movie
To put everything in one sentence the movie “Rock Star” is all out rock and seeing the actor, Mark Wahlberg with long hair, lipstick and mascara. In my opinion, this is definitly not the best film for him, especially when considering that at the time he already did “The …
Final Destination movie
First when I decided review this movie; I had no idea where to start and what to write because the stream of mixed feelings came to my mind about it. A few days ago, when I was with my friends, they asked me to join them; even though I …
Richie Rich
Richie Rich was a very good movie that came out in the 1990s. It is based off of the TV show that was a cartoon. But this movie is all about the real life Richie Rich. It it basically the same story as the old cartoon TV show, but much …
Raising Arizona movie
Joel and Ethan Coen had their breakthrough back in the 1980s with the most visually original and violent thriller Blood Simple. After that they have amazed the world audience with marvellous films like Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink and The Hudsucker Proxy. In my opinion they have lost some of …
Silkwood movie
1983’s Silkwood is a powerful story. It’s also a true story which makes it tremendously poignant and meaningful. It’s also a story with an uncertain ending, even to this day.
This is the story of Karen Silkwood, a young woman who worked at a nuclear plant and realized …
Movie: Maid in Manhattan (2002)
Maid in Manhattan (2002): a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Lopez & Ralph Fiennes (Rated PG-13 for some language/sexual references).

The Reader movie
The best way to describe the movie —˜The Reader’ is a very moving film which tackles emotions and sentiments in a unique way. It is no wonder that there were many actresses who wanted to interpret the main female role such as Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard and …
