The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (fantasy drama movie)
Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors. Also movies such as those in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit franchise are some of my favourites. Therefore it was definitely a given that I had to watch the last installment in the Hobbit movies, “The Hobbit: The Battle …
All Good Things Movie (2010)
All Good Things movie it’s based on the real-life events when a woman goes missing in 1982 and her husband is a suspect in her disappearance, but there isn’t enough evidence against him. In this fictional story the writers are attempting to give a plausible explanation to the …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …
Movie: City Slickers
Synopsis: Three middle-aged friends decide to go on a wild west vacation and participate in a real-life cattle drive.
What I liked about this movie: When this film first came out, I was still in high school and, while I found it a bit funny, I really had no understanding …
Thirteen Ghosts (movie)
I don’t know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts.
Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting …

Avalon movie
A japanese film that takes place in the future about a mysterious addictive computer game that takes over people’s lives. There are many similarities here to the interesting Battle Royale. For one thing it is focused on teenagers, and secondly it is regarding a popular item as something that …

The film begins when a guy working for the US govt. finds out that the infrastructure network its running …
Hall Pass (2011 Movie)
Starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, “Hall Pass” is about two guys who get to take a week off from marriage, no strings attached. After watching the trailer, I realized that movies like this are why I get so mad at the male population. A week off marriage? How …
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 …

Captain Planet cartoon
“Captain Planet” was a cartoon which would be aired sometimes on weekday afternoons when I was still a child. I did not necessarily love the show, but I appreciated it a little since it was better than watching the children’s show “Sesame Street” which I had outgrown before I …
Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …

Bridge of Spies (2015 Film)
I have been so attached with Oscar-bait films ever since I had that cinematic experience with Alfonso Cuaron’s 2013 space tale “Gravity”. It was beyond words, beyond everything I have ever felt before, and to truly witness it in glorious 3D screen was groundbreaking. It was then that I realized …
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
While the sequel to the Raiders of the Lost Ark was obviously made because of the success of the first film, the Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.
The first movie was full of action and suspense. There was a bit of humor, but …
Chef-2014, Drama, Comedy Movie
The main word I can say subsequent to watching this is “Exceptional”. Jon Favreau is only a stickler in each field. He has written this movie, directed it and afterward nailed it as the lead performing artist. Subsequent to Iron Man 1 and 2, he proceeds with his splendid work. …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
There was a big buzz on the internet months before —˜The Blair Witch Project’ was released in the cinema in 1999. Prior to making the movie, the director and writer, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez, had made a documentary purporting to be real, involving eye witness accounts and …
Tangerine (2015 Film)
The talk about “a film shot entirely with an iPhone 5S” stunned me last year. I know it is an indie (independent film) but still, the thought that almost everyone can make a glorious film without ever spending big is a big news for me. I have been very interested …
21 Grams movie
In order to fully understand 21 Grams, you will have to be committed to watching this movie at least twice. After the first viewing, you will want to watch 21 Grams again because the movie is thrilling and very exciting. There is a love story between Paul and Christine, …

Kung Fu Panda
One of the most entertaining and lesson-filled computer animated movies I’ve watched would be Kung Fu Panda. A 2008 offering from Dreamworks starring Jack Black as the voice of the main character, Po, the panda who’s crazy about kung fu. He knows everything about kung fu except that he …

The Postman movie
The Postman with Kevin Costner and Will Patton.
What a great story told by a great actor Imagine that the world’s governments crumbled and all communication non existent between the surviving clans. This description does not generate the level of interest that this exciting …

Rhythm and Blues Revue movie
Rhythm and Blues Revue labeled with a 1955 release is really just a bunch of performances down like a night club show. There’s no story plot; there’s only the show. However, it is a lot of fun, with a full roster of African American performers.
Below are a …
House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …
Eddie Murphy: Raw
If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.
This is Eddie Murphy at his best, giving stand-up comedy performances and talking about everything from politics to women and race issues. If you have kids, put …
Sunny movie
From 1941, Sunny was based on a stage play of the same name. It was, at moments, an interesting take on the times when performing for a circus meant being cheap and perhaps even vulgar.
At the helm of the motion picture was Anna Neagle as Sunny O’Sullivan who …

Let’s Talk About Sex DVD Movie
The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …

The Lord Of The Rings movies
So after reading the books as many times as I have, of course I HAD to see the movies in theatres when they were released. Of course, I now own them all :D. The movies had amazing special effects, and excellent casting and costume staff. Each part was played …
Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …
Enron
If you are like me, the story of Enron and its executives were just little snipets of information you heard on the evening news. Yes, someplace out in Texas many people were losing their jobs, but it didn’t touch me personally, so why should I pay attention?
However, after …
The Shooter (2007)
They came to him with a story that an attempt is going to be made on the life of the United States President and only he has the expert knowledge to find out where the shooter will be and try to stop him before the attempted assassination is done. …
Movie Transformers
When I heard that the Transformers was going to be made into a movie, I was so looking forward to it. I was in grade school during the 80’s when the cartoons became so popular on TV. There were even toys sold everywhere for every character. I wondered how …

The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
