Spectre (2015 James Bond Film)
A lot of people I knew were very excited to see the movie Spectre as soon as it was released. While my excitement didn’t necessarily reach their level, I was certainly curious to see what it would be about since my interest in James Bond movies had been rekindled over …
The Last Legion
I admit I only watched this film because I couldn’t imagine the actor, Colin Firth in the role of a Roman Commander. I just couldn’t picture him on big screen after watching him in the role of the prim and proper Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” or …
50 First Dates
I’m usually not the type to fall for romantic comedies because they tend to be predictable and sometimes even stupid, in my opinion. This idea, however, did not pertain to the movie 50 First Dates. I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it a …
No Smoking Movie
I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …
500 Days of Summer movie
I rented 500 days of summer knowing nothing about it except that it starred Joseph Gordon Levitt who is best known for playing the Alien, Tommy on the sitcom “Third Rock From the Sun,” and Zooey Deschanel. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie, but found …
One Hour Photo movie
“One Hour Photo” is the movie that caused people to view Robin Williams from an entirely different perspective. I (like dozens of others) am used to seeing Robin in his typical comedic roles. I have seen him perform in touching dramas, and love stories. So to …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …
MJR Marketplace Theater in Sterling Heights Michigan
I recently discovered a better movie theater to take my family to, the MJR Marketplace Cinemas in Sterling Heights. It was built on the same location as the old National Amusements Showcase Cinemas which was torn down a few years ago.
The layout of the theater is excellent, the flow …

Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …
Mona Lisa Smile
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” because I have always found it very hard to watch movies starring the actress Julia Roberts. This is because I’m used to her starring in a lot of romance films which I don’t like as …

Living Out Loud is a very nice 2009 (though it was filmed in 2008) Hallmark movie about a woman who discovers she has breast cancer. The film follows her discovery, treatment, decisions, and recovery.
Gail O’Grady turns in a powerful performance as Emily Marshall, teacher, mother, and wife, who …
The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of the scariest remake movies I’ve ever seen. The original was filmed in 1977. The author of this Horrible tale is Wes Craven. The theme is nothing supernatural but mainly of unlikely people and it’s rather gross. When I look at it, …

This movie had everything a person needs to enjoy a film and this was a …
Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …
Angel’s Fall film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts film, Angel’s Fall. So there’s this woman. She used to work in this restaurant cooking. One night a shooter entered the place and shot all of her co-workers, including her best friend. She was the only one left alive. Ever since then, this …
Coyboy Bebop episode 1
Cowboy Bebop is a legend that spawns new legends from within itself. The first episode is no exception but is a delight to read. For those not familiar with the series, Cowboy Bebop puts the title of the music style right on the cover, in this case, Asteroid Blues. …
G-Force movie
This movie is about guinnea pigs having the skills to be secret agents. As most of the ’superhero type’ movies, they are there to save the world from threat or destruction.
The movie is basically for kids. The main characters were presented in a ‘cute’ manner. The …

The Stepfather Movie

Beerfest DVD
Many movies are made in the comedy section each year. Most of them are the same type of comedy and recycle old jokes. When you find that one movie, that made you cry of laughter… you want to tell people and spread the word about it. For me, the …
Lage Raho Munnabhai Movie
Who is in it : Sanjay Dutt, Vidya balan, Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi

It’s a Date movie
From 1940, It’s a Date is a surprisingly fun movie to watch. It stars Deanna Durbin, who was once the biggest thing in Hollywood. I did some reading about her yesterday when I watched this story and was amazed at her success in Hollywood and especially with …
Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
The Doomsday Flight
The Doomsday Flight is a movie I’ve never forgotten. I used to see it on late night television, way back before cable was even thought of. It was dramatic and even scary to me. When eBay became the big thing, I searched for it and finally …

This movie is a very abstract and interesting one and if you’re into Bob Dylan, you won’t be disappointed. Theres a few different characters which represent different aspects of dylans life. Theres the Wandering Child, the troubled Relationship, The Aloof/Distant Bob, and the Star/Media Bob. This movie starts off …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
500 Days of Summer (2009) Movie
When I saw Inception, I was really thinking about the actor who played Arthur. I really thought so hard until I remembered that he was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the guy who was in the movie, 500 Days of Summer.
I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …
Sean Penn’s Indian Runner. A Movie
I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The title on this movie is very misleading …
Movie Silence of the Lambs
This spectacular movie has my most favorite film monologue ever and it’s probably the most memorable one as well. It was delivered quite eloquently by the legendary Anthony Hopkins. This film, “Silence of the Lambs” is nothing short of a
masterpiece. Based on the gripping novel by the author Thomas …
The movie the bounty hunter
I thought that the movie The bounty hunter had all the makings of a good film. It had an interesting storyline and a few good actors Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. However it did not come together. Most of the time I felt like the actors were looking at …
Red Sky Movie
Red Sky is a documentary that takes a look into bible prophecy and the relevance it has on our world today. Chuck Missler teaches the signs of prophecy in a fascinating way weather the topic is Weapons Proliferation or Global Religion that are coming to a history near you. …
Ghostrider
Nicholas Cage seems to make like ten movies a year. Okay, maybe not that many, but he definitely puts out like two per year. Three years ago he came out with Lord of War and The Weatherman back to back. I liked Lord of War but not so much …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Dallas Buyers Club (2013 - biographical drama movie)
Dallas Buyers Club is one of those movies that is a career builder. Specifically, it is a career builder for the two main actors in the film - Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both of these actors each get in the film a lifetime opportunity that any actors would kill …
