Movies Reviews
Movie Emma
This movie is as charming as funny as it is romantic, and it is another film based off of one of Jane Austen’s works. The colors are lovely, and the characters all are just as I would have imagined them after reading the book. It is very accurate, and …
National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
Oz the Great and Powerful, 2013 movie
I just watched Oz the Great and Powerful and I have to say that I am a little disappointed by it. I was expecting a great movie and all I got was a so and so one. Before watching it I was thinking to myself “God, I hope James …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …

Movie Swan Princess

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I’m not normally a Monty Python fan. I’ve seen his flying circus show and thought it was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever watched. But, the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” is one of the better comedies I’ve seen.
Basically, the movie is set during the time …
TRAITOR, The Movie Jeffrey Nachmanoff
An extraordinary film, which is supported by the story and that is not normal. Where we see from the two sides. Contrasting with the Kingdom of the most talked about police searching for evidence. But this movie, we see from the two sides are different. Not many movie scenes …
The Dead Girl movie
Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975 Film)
The group of well known British comics who used to star in “Monty Python Flying Circus” short films came out with a film in 1975 called “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. Now, this film is without a doubt an acquired type of comedy, but a comedy none the …
Spiderman
Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …

Bugs Bunny 1001 Rabbit Tales
I keep loading older Looney Tunes cartoons on our Netflix player for our daughter to watch after school and on weekends. One of the ones I loaded recently was Bug Bunny 1001 Rabbit Tales.
Much like other Looney Tunes movies I’ve come across in the past, this one is basically …
Desperado movie

“Up in the Air” Film
I just finished watching this film. I had heard it was a good film and since it was nominated for a lot of awards in the award season, I figured it would be good. Well, I was wrong, this movie was slow, boring and depressing.
…
Die Hard movie
The movie die hard has been out for a very long time. I myself have seen it many times, and each time I watch it I can always find something new and great about the movie. Not only is this Bruce Willis’s biggest role but it’s one of the …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …
Little Children (R, 2006) movie
I had been skipping this film over and over again in my Netflix queue. When it finally arrived, I was skeptical about whether I would like the movie. I understood that it was about suburban life, particularly two unhappy married people (married to other people) …
Shelter Movie (2010)
Shelter is a movie that could have been so much more. It had all the right ingredients: a great actress in the lead- Julianne Moore, a thrilling concept and some well researched information about actual rites and traditions. But the way all of it was put together, just did …

Hotel for Dogs Movie
Being a dog lover, my brother bought and gave me this dvd as a present and while I am already in my mid-twenties, I still do enjoy watching movies that are sometimes suitable just for kids, like this movie, and Hotel for Dogs is actually for kids and not …
Warm Bodies (movie)

This is a really fun movie. Players are Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham and some others. Steve Carell is as funny as he can be. Morgan Freeman show up occasionally, not a very big role. Lauren Graham is cute. It is a story …
Anaconda movie (1997)
As if Snakes were frightening enough. Now, there are sets of movies about giant snakes that have a hunger for human flesh. It’s bad enough that Jaws freaked people out about getting into the water. I, myself, am included in that …

Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
Blindness (drama movie)
I read a lot of bad reviews on the movie Blindness and I can completely understand why a lot of people weren’t satisfied with the movie. For one the movie is terribly hard to watch for multiple reasons and secondly, it doesn’t exactly have a very satisfying ending.
Blindness is one …

A Mighty Heart
This movie, A Mighty Heart is played out by Angie, or known as Angelina Jolie. I have always respected her in the sense that she’s not afraid to play out roles that are scary or pretty threatening.
Like in A Mighty Heart, she plays the wife to a reporter, acted …
HBO miniseries Band of Brothers
This movie had me gripped from the first episode, “Currahee”, where the introduction of the characters of Easy Company takes place, during their basic recruitment training. I enjoy watching war movies and have to say, Band of Brothers, was more than I expected. I was browsing for movies one …
The Fly movie
David Cronenberg’s remake of the classic 1950s movie with Vincent Price. Jeff Goldblum is the eccentric scientist who accidentally is transformed into a giant fly. Cronenberg uses a lot of horrific special effects here, and the difference between this and his great Dead Ringers is huge considering the tone …
Exorcism of Emily Rose movie
A true story that is hard to believe by the people.
The movie was focused in the issue of God and Demons. And the most debate-able topic of Catholic church involving to exorcism. There is a lot of situation like this happening around the globe and mostly to asian countries …

Ghost of the Abyss
What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …
Fantastic Four (Movie 2005)
What a complete croc…in other words, it’s utter CRAP!!! Characters were under-developed and unconvincing, storyline was dumn and hard to follow, CGI was poorly done and, oh yeah, it’s CRAP (did I say that already?). It makes no sense wasting words to describe how terrible this movie is, so, …
George of the Jungle (1997)
The best way to eve try and explain this movie is to compare it with Tarzan and then give it an over all switch in the level of deepness in the character, toss in a heap of comedy and you have yourself a movie that has been remade into …
