Movies Reviews
Eurotrip
OK, I know I’ve seen the movie Eurotrip before and I’m sure I have probably reviewed it before too.
But, after watching it for probably the 12th time last night, I still can’t get over how good this movie is.
Basically, for those of you who haven’t seen it, the movie …

Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
At long last the second of four new feature length Futurama films has been released on DVD and it was a home run right out of this universe and millennium. In true Futurama fashion this movie is hillarious while at the same time thought provoking in only the way …
The Wild
I normally like Disney’s animated films. That’s why, when I saw their movie “The Wild” this past weekend, I was extremely disappointed.
Overall, the movie wasn’t bad. But, the plot did seem to be a bit re-hashed. It was almost like Disney combined elements of the movies Lion King and …
Les Miserables movie
None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …
Blood Diamond
Gripping. Riveting. Awakening. This movie grabs you from the start and takes you on a ride through the African country-side, seeing a world torn apart by violence, greed, and pain. You will inevitably swear never to buy a “blood diamond” again, knowing what it costs their world.
Leonardo DiCaprio, though …
King of the Hill Season 5
King of the Hill season 5 has some high points and also some low points. The series follows all American guy Hank Hill, his wife Peggy, son Bobby, niece Luanne and his friends and neighbors. In this season Bobby is still having some “problems” as Hank would say, but …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
Red 2010 movie
After I was more or less disappointed by the few movies that were about the same story (The A-Team , Go, The Expendables), I awaited anxiously as an incorrigible fan again to be cheated by the pensioners from Red . Especially since I’m always tempted to give a chance …
The Rival movie
Once again, I found myself watching a movie on the Lifetime movie network last night and found myself enjoying it.
The film “The Rival” was one that really turned out to be much more interesting than I thought it would. From the previews, I figured it was going to be …
Love You to the Stars and Back (2017 Filipino Romantic Comedy Film)
I am always wary in spending money watching local films. However, my sister dragged me to watch this movie called “Love You to the Stars and Back” (I know such an awfully long title that doesn’t match the movie at all - Philippine local films have plenty of that) yesterday …

Alvin And The Chipmunks
We recently rented the movie “Alvin And the Chipmunks,” and so far the four-year-old in my house has watched it 5 times! She loves it, and so does her 11-year-old brother! In fact, even I, who never particularly liked the cartoon version when I was a kid, am in …
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is a very good movie from the year 1989. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and liking it a lot. This movie is filled with magic and romance. All the good stuff that makes you think life is great as a kid. The music in …
Blockbuster Online
Can I start by saying “Waste of money.”
I can sum up the review in that one sentence, but let me be more specific.
For several months I was subscribed to Blockbuster online and can tell you that it was a terrible service.
Here’s why:
Out of Order. I am a devoted movie …

Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)

Glitter Movie
Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …
The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)
I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …

Star Wars: Clone Wars
This DVD should not be confused with The Clone Wars which is now on TV. This movie is also a cartoon but it feels like a series of ten minute stories about Clone Wars. This has most of the characters from the prequels and there is no doubt that …
Hostel, Eli Roth Movie
What happens if the two thoughts that together ‘fond of’ sadism meets? So a new Horror film that truly interfaces blood. Who is not familiar with Quentin Tarantino? Specialist’s films pleased with the alternative of blood and violence as the menu in the films. How do with Eli Roth? …

House of a Thousand Corpses

Ratatouile movie
I like this movie so much. I enjoy so much how a rat was able to change a life of an orphan and was the sole key for his success. I enjoy the movie so much since the story line was a little fresh. I love how the plot …
Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …

“How to Train Your Dragon” (2010 Film)
The 2010 animated family made film “How to Train Your Dragon” was in one word, delightful. The variety of characters, to the graphics, and story line, the movie was entertaining and perfect for a movie night with the family.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
The A-Team: Movie
The A-Team is a fun, action-packed remake of the TV series that I think will be of interest to a lot more people than it is given credit for.
I thought that the action scenes were very good and quite unique; given the circumstances they often find themselves in they …
Prince of Persia (2010 Film)

Shutter Island (2010 film)
