Sex and the City The Movie
When my husband took me to ‘Sex and the City- The Movie’ I was not very sure whether I would like it or not because I don’t usually prefer any prolongation movie and this was a continuation of the runaway hit from HBO series. But anyway when the movie …

Armageddon Sci Fi Action Disaster Movie
Armageddon is a very chaotic film. Certainly the subject-matter warrants it. Suffice it to say: your brain and all of your visual senses will have a workout. In order that you have no preconceived notions about the movie: just know the best advice is: …
The Three Musketeers in 3D, 2011 Movie

Beauty and the Beast
Without the shade of a doubt, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ is by far my favourite story. The first time I read it, it left me in tears and I have a habit of coming back to it times and times again. I find it equally touching every time. There …

Movie Secrets of the summer house
I watched this on Lifetime Movie Network a few weeks ago. I was surprised at how good it was. I didn’t expect for it to be that good but it was. I kept seeing it previewed on lifetime so I finally watched it one day when I caught it …
The Christmas Dinosaur
Since we are past Thanksgiving and officially in the Holiday season, I allowed my daughter to finally watch some Christmas movies I loaded on the Netflix player. One of them was The Christmas Dinosaur.

I Confess,movie
This appears to be one of Hitchcock’s lesser known films. It tells the story of a priest, Father Michael Logan (Montgovery Clift), who hears a murderer’s confession and almost gets accused of the murder himself because he cannot reveal what he was told in a confession. The murderer is …
DIE.COM
This is not for children to view. This movie, DIE.COM is for the adult who is able to view a plot that is about living and dying, with the plot set into a mystery that keeps your attention right up there. This is not a gory movie, although, blood …
Protect and Serve: A Thriller by Vince Flynn
Another installment in Vince Flynn’s popular Mitch Rapp series. As usual, Flynn is right up to date with his settings and back stories.
Mitch Rapp is one of the better developed characters in popular action fiction. Flynn makes the hardbitten undercover operative the kind of guy we wish worked for …
Heartbreakers movie
Another movie my wife and I ended up watching last night was the film “Heartbreakers”. I liked this movie when it first came out but have to admit it loses some of its charm the second time you see it.
Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt play a mother/daughter pair …

Jurassic Park Movie
I had watched this movie when I was in my fourth standard. It has fascinated me ever since. It was the movie that introduced me to dinosaurs. Jurassic Park is a movie by Stephen Spielberg. He in this movie has implemented what Micheal Crichton had envisaged in his book …
Murder by Television movie
It’s Bela Lugosi doing his thing in the vintage movie, Murder by Television. This is going back to the beginnings of TV, when networks and manufacturers were making the concept work and striving to make it better than their competitor.
This movie is all about industrial piracy, so …
American Beauty
I think American Beauty is a very strong movie with lots of issues involved that are perhaps much closer to home than we can ever imagine. When I first watched this movie on the cinema, I thought that it is something like a Desperate Housewives setting TV drama with …

Kramer versus Kramer movie
Kramer versus Kramer is not a recent movie and it is all for some years on dvd available but in my opinion it is a movie that you can see every year without boring you.
The proof that this movie is a good one is because of the 5 oscars: …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Whenever Hollywood produces a movie about superheroes that is successful at the box office, it isn’t unusual to see them attempt to make a sequel. Usually, the sequel is nowhere near as good as the original.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a perfect example of this.
When I …
Galaxy Quest movie
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, Galaxy Quest imitates Star Trek with zest and now Galaxy Quest itself has been imitated on various shows. That’s how well this movie comedy performed.
This entire movie is like a great big Trek satire, starting with the …
The Pit (movie)
I’ll admit it, the only reason I bought the movie The Pit is the fact it was filmed in my home town of Beaver Dam, WI and I wanted to see how much of the town I recognized. And, to be honest, if it weren’t for the fact I …
Shell Game movie
There have been a few projects out of Hollywood by the title of Shell Game. This particular one is a movie that starred John Davidson and aired in 1975. The program was actually a pilot that didn’t sell.
Davidson had all the requirements for this character of Max …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
12 Monkeys
My wife has never seen the movie 12 Monkeys before so I decided to load it on our Netflix Player last night.
When I did this, I realized I hadn’t seen it in a while either so it was a bit like watching a brand new movie. And, even after …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
Iron Man 2 (2010 Film)
After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …

A mentally unstable man named Graham get tired of the people around him and gets the crazy idea of poisoning them all. The film is said to be based on true events, and was quite controversial when it came out. It think it is thrilling mostly because the head …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …

House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
Erin Brockovich DVD

My Bloody Valentine (2009) - movie
I admit that I entered in the theater with quite low expectations, being a fan of horror movies, I decided to give it a try for the following two reasons, first- it’s a horror movie, second- it is made in digital 3-D.
first of all, Hats off to the filmmakers for …
The Illusionist movie
I watched this movie today. It was very entertaining to watch. It’s unique, different from most movies. It brings something different to the screen. I liked all of the actors in it and they did a very good job playing their roles. I was entertained and interested in the …
Poltergeist
When I was fourteen, this movie scared me. And I felt then, and now, that I don’t scare easily. Very few movies even give me the chills. But Poltergeist scared me, and at the same time thrilled me. It became somewhat of both an embarrassment and a disappointment that …
Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …
Dark City, movie (1998)
David S. Goyer is a name films fans should recognize. From his humble beginnings with Charles Band’s Full Moon Entertainment to his recent success working with Christopher Nolan, he’s one of the biggest names in screenwriting. Sure, he also wrote Jumper and the TV movie, Nick Fury: …
The Final Destination movie
We decided to rent the fourth Final Destination movie The Final Destination on Saturday. I’m not sure why we thought it would be as good as the first two (or even the crappy third one), but it proved to be somewhat of a mistake.
The movie had a plot that …
Iron Man
Today I went to see Iron Man. What an excellent film.
This is the first of all the Marvel films that I feel like really had it all. A good plot, story line, special effects, cast of characters and really solid acting.
It’s rare to find this combination in a film …
Twister
Helen Hunt is just a good actress and I wonder whether she has ever won an acting award or not. Her appearance was very good, especially in the movie, Twister, which I watched years back. My local TV channel loves to showcase long-ago movies which had been blockbuster …
Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok)
In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …
