Count Duckula cartoon
“Count Duckula” was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. I loved everything about it, from the theme song to the drawings and the plot. However, the only thing I disliked was the fact that I would rarely see it on local television. In fact, of the few …
War thriller
“War” is an action thriller where you see Jason Statham and Jack Lee act side by side. It is very interesting to see these two action actors involved in the same project. Both Statham and Lee admitted that they accepted their respective roles because they had a chance of …

Alien Vs. Predator Requiem (AVPR)

Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
You Changed My Life movie
It was Wednesday night, on the second week of the movie. I would have expected the cinema to be empty. But no, it was jam-packed a clear sign that the movie was a hit.
I have to give my praise to the scriptwriter of “You Changed My Life” …
Skinwalkers
The movie poster of this movie titled “Skinwalkers” doesn’t suggest much, but sure looks horrible enough to attract the horror pro customers like myself, sacrificing other shows to make this one.
I was disappointed really. It was cearly a low budget movie with little plot and less than encouraging fighting …

Cromartie High School, Anime series
Cromartie High School is no ordinary school. It’s a school for delinquents. The most important subject is “fighting” and their biggest concern is “who the biggest badass is?” Everything they talk about is completely random and has nothing to do with school. You could say this anime is pointless, …
Addams Family Values (1993 movie)
While this movie brought back the original characters as well as the same actors who played them, it was just lacking in the area of what I was looking for in a sequel to the first movie. It had all of the chemistry and potential for the greatness of …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …

Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.

Highschool Musical 3 The Movie

Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …

The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
E.T. movie
E.T. is the well-known film about an alien from outer space coming to the earth and becoming a friend to a couple of children in America. Steven Spielberg started to loose his touch from the 1970s with this film in my opinion and it’s clear he only ever made …
