Butterfly Effect (2004)
First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …

I watched this movie on lifetime just a few days ago. Overall it was an alright movie. I think it could have been a lot better. I usually love movies with Diane Keaton in it, she is a really good actress. This one though was a little boring. It’s …

The Jacket (R, 2005) movie
I really like Adrian Brody. And seeing him starring in something so trippy was a treat for me. The Jacket is a really interesting film that merges psy-fi with a little of that thriller drama stuff. Brody portrays a veteran who dies, but then is brought …
Shrek the Third (2007)
Yesterday, after months of anticipation, I went to the movies and saw Shrek the Third. The big green ogre is back, ugly as ever; his manners haven’t improved much, despite living at the royal palace, but his wife Princess Fiona still loves him. Fiona hints that she would like …
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 …
The Interview - (2014) Movie
I’m sure everyone has heard of the movie, ‘The Interview’ starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. I’ve seen the movie name in the news many times in the past few months because of North Korea’s displeasure with the movie revolving around the assassination of Kim Jong Un and more …

The movie Knocked up is freaking hilarious and on of the funniest movies of all time, well as of now I think it Is easily the funniest movie ever. This movie had me laughing so hard from beginning to end and was well worth sitting through the two hours …
The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Full Moon in Paris movie
Eric Rohmer was one of the french new wave filmmakers back in the sixties, actually one of the most important ones, and he also kept making quality films long afterwards, even if I think his latest films haven’t been very interesting. Full Moon in Paris is about a woman …

Skyfall movie
The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …
Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Many movies have made me laugh, but harold and kumar brought it to a new level… it made me cry… from laughter.
This movie has some of the funniest scenes I have ever seen. The story is that two friends Harold and Kumar, get the munchies and they want to …
Yankee Doodle Goes to Town movie short
I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …
The Thomas Crown Affair (1999 version)
I believe that Pierce Bronsnan is mostly known for his interpreation in the James Bond movies, however I think that “The Thomas Crown Affair” is a great movie project for this actor. I believe that Brosnan interpreation of the role of Thomas Crown with a good mix of charm, …

Up (Animated Movie by Pixar)
Up is a great animated movie by Pixar. I must say that there is a great content in this movie and that the old man and the little kid is really hilarious. It is not really that funny, but if you watch it closely and watch how the …
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …
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 …

Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, movie
Birdman aka “The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance”, is a surprisingly dark-comedy film denoting the struggles of faded Hollywood star Riggan Thompson (Michael Keaton). Thompson played the eponymous “Birdman” an exceptionally popular superhero, in a series of blockbuster movies decades prior. Whilst being tortured by the internal voice of “Birdman”, …
Superbad (R, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my new hero. After seeing how funny he was in “The Forty Year-Old Virgin”, and then how endearing he was in “Knocked Up”, I knew that “Superbad” would be a hoot. He wrote and had an acting role in the film, which …
Gag (movie)
After being told several times about how great the movie “Gag” was by a friend who supposedly shares the same tastes in movies that I do, I could not wait to see it for myself. I remember that I even read a few great reviews on it from people …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …

The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb
I picked up The Curse of King Tut’s Tomb because it was cheap ($6.44) and because it looked somewhat interesting, if a bit derivative. Derivative is right, this two-part mini-series steals liberally from both the Indiana Jones franchise as well as the Mummy series.
Does the Curse of King …
The Whole Ten Yards movie
The movie “The Whole Ten Yards” is actually the sequel to the movie “The Whole Nine Yards” which was released in the year 2000. I didn’t hear of this sequel though until about two or three years ago when I saw it being broadcast on a cable television channel. …
Tom and Jerry the Movie
My daughter is currently watching Tom and Jerry the Movie for the second time tonight. While she seems to enjoy the movie (which is probably the only thing that matters), I have to say I’m not a huge fan of it.
Overall, it isn’t a terrible movie, the cat and …

I think this first movie …
The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)
Throughout the years I’ve heard about the movie “The Royal Tenenbaums” but I never actually had a chance to watch it until recently. I figured it would have been one of those films that was severely overrated by a lot of people, but it turns out that even though I …
Movie Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it very much. I still love that movie after watching over hundred times in all these years. This Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starred movie is one of the greatest romantic movies of Hollywood …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
What Universal has done with …
Movie: Revenge of the Nerds

Revolutionary Road (2008 Film)
The 2008 film “Revolutionary Road” reunited the two main characters of “Titanic”, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. I had thought that this film was going to be a rekindle of the flame that I saw in “Titanic” and something that would leave my heart melting. However, I had an …
Police Academy (1984)
Comedy has a new flavor and this movie throws it directly into your lap and gives you no other alternative but to like it, and like it you will. This movie hosts a band of misfits that have come to be trained as police officers. The trouble that they …
Battle, Los Angeles 2011 Movie
From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …
Se7en (1995 Classic Thriller Film)
When everyone else is busy watching the seemingly endless mediocre movies put out by today’s filmmakers who happens to only entertain, I’m here digging up classics which I thought would be medicine to my ever needing needs for great films.
