Drive (2011 film)
Okay, recently there has been a difference of opinion about this film boiling away between various groups of my friends, so I have decided to write a little about it and explain what I like about it, and why I think you should too (And perhaps some stuff about …
Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake (2007)
Possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, this movie sank like a stone to the bottom of the river. Unlike the John Carpenter Masterpiece of 1978, this remake just fails. Where the original movie was a masterpiece, this updated cellophane garbage is a huge cinematic failure. …
I’m with lucy movie
I watched “I’m with Lucy” today on Lifetime movie network. It was better than I thought. At first I wasn’t going to watch it when it came on. I was kind of tired of watching television, but once I saw it on for a few minutes I got interested …
Changeling (2008)
This movie is about the telling of a woman’s story, a story that involves the misuse of power and what happens to the regular people when they do not adhere to what the powers that be tells them to do. When Angelina Jolie’s character Christine Collin’s son goes missing, …
A Haunting in Connecticut- (Documentary, 2008)
This movie some confuse with the “fictional” film of the same name. This, in fact was a documentary regarding the Snedeker family. Only the family in this story has been renamed Parker (supposedly to keep identities a secret?) In any case, the family moves to Connecticut …
Fair Game movie
A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
Columbiana Movie
I just saw the Columbiana movie last night. This is a revenge-driven movie that stars Zoe Saldana. The movie centers into the life of a child that has been corrupted because of a traumatic experience she experienced when she was still a child. Her father was involved in a …
Final Destination 3-D movie
Final Destination 3 in super 3-D is exactly what you would expect from such a teen horror outing. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting wooden, and the entire premise implausible, yet it still delivers the goods as far as presenting an entertaining horror excursion. The audience that I viewed …
One Hundred Men And A Girl movie
One Hundred Men And A Girl is an old film, made in 1937, about a girl who organizes an orchestra. The girl, Patsy, pulls together the orchestra because Patsy and her father need the work, as do the group of musicians, who are all without jobs at the present. …
Birdman of Alcatraz
Birdman Of Alcatraz is the story of Robert Stroud, a criminal imprisoned on the infamous Alcatraz island. Robert Stroud is a killer and scary man, so you cannot let what he does after he spend years in prison change your mind about what he did to become a death …
Kubo and the Two Strings (2016 Animated Film)
Prior to watching Kubo and the Two Strings, I have watched a sort-of behind-the-scenes of the making of Kubo and the Two Strings in YouTube and I was seriously amazed at the amount of work to create this movie. For the information of everybody, this is a stop-motion animated film …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …
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 …
Umrao Jaan
Watching Umrao Jaan brought tears to my eyes. This is a Hindi movie in Urdu, I think and if I’m not mistaken. I don’t speak Hindi language nor Urdu and it helps each time whenever I watch a movie of Hindi genre, or Bollywood, there will be subtitles. …
Mallrats movie

The General’s Daughter (1999)
The General’s Daughter, directed by Simon West is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for graphic images relating to sexual violence including a strong rape scene, some perverse sexuality, nudity and language. The original release date was June 18, 1999 for United States audience. This movie …
Way of War
OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …
Into the wild movie
I watched this movie yesterday and the ending today. Overall it was pretty good. It was more of a documentary about a young boy who goes off into the wild and lives on his own. He burns all of his identification.
I thought it was pretty good overall. It was …
Movie: “Enchanted” (2007)
“Enchanted” is, in a word, enchanting. I was very impressed at this sweet and charming film; it’s wonderful for the whole family and I believe it will be a classic for years to come.
It starts with a beautifully animated sequence; the lovely (and relentlessly upbeat) Princess Giselle lives in …

Movie Armageddon (1998)
I love science fiction and I found the movie, Armageddon to have all the elements you need in a great science fiction movie. There is no scarier scenario than one that threatens to end all life on our planet. This film has some of the greatest talent in show …
Vantage Point
This movie is about an assassination attempt to the president of the United States. It is not a typical movie I can say. I think the plot was easy but I did enjoy watching it. It is a typical conspiracy theory movie but with a twist. I really thought …
My Fair Lady movie
One of the most classical musicals of all time is the marvelous My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. I can’t even imagine anyone but Harrison in this movie. I’m so used to his style of talk-singing that it all seems very logical and natural …
The Martian (Science Fiction Drama Movie)
I was eager to see the movie “The Martian” for two reasons. The first was because I saw the trailer and it sounded as if it would be a good watch, and the second reason was because the director Ridley Scott is known for his iconic movies. After I finally …
Baby’s day out movie
It is one of the funniest and cutest movie I ever saw. It is a story about a little child, who hardly can stand up, and how he discovers the city, and how he makes the three men’s life miserable, who kidnapped him. The story starts by showing that …
American Visa (movie)
As I have mentioned in several of my previous reviews, I like to watch a good foreign film once in a while and when my friends and I were discussing foreign films and she gave me a summary of a film “American Visa”, that she had watched, I became …

Even though I originally had no intention of watching the new Spiderman movie because I’m a huge fan of the previous ones, I eventually changed my mind and watched it recently. Up to a few minutes before I still had some fairly low expectations of it, for me to …
The Delta Force (1986)
Action packed never knew life before the coming of the Chuck Norris movies and his level of attitude. This movie is about terrorists hijacking a plane full of innocent people and using them as hostages for their demands. To show good faith, they release the women and children hostages …
Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children
I’ve always wondered what happened to the character of Final Fantasy 7 after the game and now I know. This is a feature length film set 2 years after the Meteor incident in FF7. Everyone has settled back into normal life until an old evil force is set to …
The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Swarmed movie
Swarmed is essentially a movie about a lot big, bad bugs, specifically wasps. It all starts with an experimental chemical that gets taken from a lab and sprayed on some wasps. It’s not a good thing. The wasps become more intense and people-hungry as the movie …
Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement
There will many who brand Alex Jones, the Austin based documentary filmmaker, radio and tv host as a conspiracy nut. Heck, I would have done so not too terribly long ago. However, after seeing many of his films I have begun to see that there is a …
Torn Apart
Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …
Chinatown Kid (1977 movie)
When compiling a list of great martial arts movie stars several names are almost always expected to top that list, Bruce Lee is always present, as is Jackie Chan, and the same can likely be said for Jet Li. But, one name that is almost always painfully overlooked is …
The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …
Student Seduction (movie)
I don’t usually watch much of the local television station Lifetime, but I’ve noticed that sometimes there are some interesting movies that are aired even though most of them don’t seem to be given much of a high rating by a lot of sources, including the internet movie database. …
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
Album : Metallica - Master of Puppets (1986)
What better time for me to re-visit one of my favorite albums of all time now that it has been recently remastered again and re-released. I remember when i first heard this album years and years ago it blew me away. Up until then i was just listening …
Snatch Movie
A british comedy from director Guy Ritchie is a classic masterpiece of movie making. Action, comedy and revenge are the spices that bring this movie to life. Even with non British actors such as Brad Pitt playing a bare knuckle, incoherent Scotsman. With underground boxing, British hitmen, a Russian …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars 2008 Movie
Do you know what it feels like to wake up early in the morning and find out that a good thing that you expect is coming right? If so, then you understand how I felt when this morning I finally managed to watch the animated movie “Clone Wars” - …
