Battlefield Earth
My husband loves this flick, but I do everything possible to wrestle the remote whenever he plays this movie.
“Battlefield Earth” is based on a book created by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. It’s about the Earth being taken over by a barbaric bunch of alien thugs- …
Irreversible film
“Irreversible” is a 2002 French film, starring actress Monica Belluci (”The Matrix” finale) and Vincent Cassel (”Oceans Thirteen”), in which the tragic events of one night in paris unfolds backwards. The idea for this film is so startingly original, and leaves you feeling washed up and put away wet, …

Are you ready for ‘Fantsia’ for the new generation? Then you need to check out Animusic 2. It is a compilation of music set to computer animated ‘droids’ playing the ‘instruments’.
It is hard to come by the words for this cool film. It is perfect for any age. It …
The movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
What child has never wished they could have as much candy as they wanted? I think that if adults were honest with themselves they would realize that not only was this a dream of theirs as a child, there are still times as an adult that they wish …

Where The Wild Things Are movie
Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …
Stranger Than Fiction
The movie Stranger Than Fiction had an awesome trailor at the movie theater and seemed so diffrent from most any other movie I had seen. So I rented it on demand yesterday. It was a huge disappointment! The movie is very slow paced and nothing exciting really happens it …
Hereafter (movie)
Unlike a lot of people I knew, I really wanted to see the movie Hereafter when I saw I advertising since two of my close family members died only a little before it came out, and my mind had been filled with questions about the afterlife, if there is …

Piranha 3D (Movie 2010)
It’s been ages since I have actually seen something as gory and as nude as Piranha 3D. Honestly, the last time I saw a movie like this was…never!
I watched this movie two weeks ago out of boredom. I was in the mood for something bloody and horrible when …
“Profoundly Normal” (2003 Lifetime Movie Film)
This 2003 Lifetime Movie Newtwork film “Profoundly Normal”, starring Kirstie Alley and Delroy Lindo was really a movie that can touch the hearts of many people. I was unsure of what type of film this would be. But within the first few minutes of the film I realized what …
Mr. Woodcock, comedy film by Craig Gillespie
For the most part Thorten’s comedies are good, he tends to play a smart ass with a ton of humor. Instead of dealing with children Billy Bob is teamed with American Pie star Seann William Scott. With another funny man joining his ranks Mr. Woodcock is hysterical for only …
King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …
Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surefr
I had not seen the previous part of this movie series, so I was hoping that I would not miss out on some related scenes. Thankfully this movie does not have much relevance to the previous movie. A person can watch this without having to watch the earlier part.
The …
Serving Sara (movie)
“Serving Sara” is the movie where Liz Hurley and Matthew Perry interpret crazy roles. It is a true pity that this movie failed to impress the critics and went straight to video! I must also add that this movie is also the worst movie for Perry who had successful …
Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail movie
Tyler Perry Made goes to jail is one of the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. I really had a great time watching all of it. It’s hilarious to see Tyler dressing up as a woman. She’s wearing this women outfit and she acts like a man. …
Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …
Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
Gabriel
I’ve first known of the movie Gabriel after I saw my aunt watching it. I asked her what’s the movie she’s watching and what is it all about. Since she was not accustomed to telling tales, she answered me directly with, “The angel Gabriel of course.”
Gabriel is an Australian …
Mercury Rising (1998)
This is the movie about an autistic little boy who manages to crack a cryptographic code designed by the Federal Government. His life is now in danger, but based on his sickness, and age, there is nothing he can do to fend off the people who are now on …

The Killer Inside me, movie
Basing itself on introspective detail as an alternative to normal narrative development, The Killer Inside Me surprises through the honesty awarded to the main character, Lou. He analyzes, meditates, shares thoughts, and divulges bits of his motivation in a rather serene voice that could foreshadow his soon to be …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
Shrek Forever After in 3D Movie
My brother gave me passes for the premiere of Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the ogre-starring computer-animated movie franchise. We managed to see the 3D version.
One thing I can say about the movie is that it is definitely better than Shrek 3. There are more funny moments …

Bewitched (2005)
Almost to be filed under the category of guilty pleasure is the 2005 movie “Bewitched” featuring Nicole Kidman, except that it wasn’t that much of a pleasure. I grew up watching the television show starring Elizabeth Montgomery and was curious about how the film version might be. Typically I …
Film After Hours
Made in the 1980’s, After Hours tells the story of one man’s nightmarish trip into the Soho area.
This is a film by Martin Scorsese that Roger Ebert deemed so intense that he considered leaving the theater and coming back later after he had pulled himself together. It seems that …
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. Mothra is a definite improvement over King Kong vs. Godzilla, although it is still not necessarily on my top ten list of favorite Godzilla movies. I find the Godzilla suit to be a definite improvement over the Godzilla suit from the previous suit because this Godzilla looks …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
Day of the Dead 2: Contagium movie
My friends and I decided that we wanted to reestablish our traditional “Friday Horror Movie Nights” so we went to the local Hollywood video store to rent some movies. I was really in the mood for some old school zombie movies that night. After browsing around for …
Mystic River
Clint Eastwood first gained directorial praise with Unforgiven, which was a movie I loved. So as you can imagine, I was very excited for Mystic River. And after watching it, I was not disappointed. Clint Eastwood delivers again and does an even better job than he …
Case of the Tyrant’s Daughter
I am reviewing The Case of the Tyrant’s Daughter, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Assault on Precinct 13, movie (1976)
As a director, John Carpenter has made it no secret how much Westerns have had an influence on his work. His classic films like Escape from New York and They Live have elements and utilize cliches from the Western genre. While his first film was the comedic …
Movie Notting Hill
This is a story about a famous actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and a travel bookshop owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) who by chance met and fell in love. It seems impossible for them to be together because of their social status, but love found a way.
You would …
Boogie Nights the movie
This has to be one of the worst movies in history and I am not a fan of boogie nights at all and never have been and never will be and this movie was just a disaster right from the beginning all the way to the end. Seriously mark …
12 Angry Men movie
The original 12 Angry Men is a movie I can, and have, watched over and over again. It’s a contained movie, all about the 12 men who are on the jury for a youth accused of murdering his father. We don’t see the trial. We see …
True Grit movie
In 1969, John Wayne starred in True Grit, and it’s one awesome picture. I don’t like the violence, but even so, I went to the theater numerous times when it was first released. I love it. The movie co-stars Kim Darby and Glen Campbell. Along …
The Fast and the Furious 4
Today I just watch the new movie Fast and Furious 4 in theatre. It’s the sequel of the previous movie Fast and Furious 1,2, and 3. The story is not so different with the previous movie, it’s about catching the bud guy and always involved racing car on it.
In …

Problem Child (1990)
Problem Child, taken from the pages of a comic book and tv series and tossed unto the silver screen with hopes of getting a hugh payday. This movie was a disaster from the very first time time it was even considered as being put into production for a feature …
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Ok my good people, I guess we asked for it and it was given to us as promised, this is where Hollywood meets police meets Hollywood get it? Me neither, but in essence, this movie is about two police detectives who are not getting enough payment from their regular …
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
You can watch this movie over and over again and still not know which of the two are the dumbest of the lot. On one hand you have Lloyd; he is a limo driver who gets himself involved into a situation that does not concern him when he intercepts …
Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride movie
For me, the bride in Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride was too pouty and snooty, even though we know she’s innocent because Perry is defending her. I just didn’t like her look. In fact, the entire opening bit at the wedding of Perry’s old …
X Men: First Class, movie
I was not expecting much from this movie. Not much at all. I am not a great fan of Wolverine and a few other mutants, my favorites being Magneto and Charles Xavier. Thankfully, this movie focused on them. I found this a good thing and bad thing. While I …
Lakeview Terrace (PG-13, 2008) movie
I watched this movie merely because I wanted to hear Samuel Jackson yell. Dave Chappelle was right on the money when he made fun of the way this actor yells at the the other characters in films. Sam was his usual great self …
Ransom (1996 movie)
A typical day out for a family (Mother, Father and Son) when something terrible happens. The characters are Mother-Rene Russo as Kate Mullen, Father-Mel Gibson as Tom Mullen and Son-Brawley Nolte as Sean Mullen. Sean is kidnapped for he is the son of a rish man and is used …
