Transformers 1 Movie
Being a huge fan of Transformers, growing up watching the cartoons in 1985, I had high hopes for Transformers 1, but I also had some dread as well. I was afraid that they were going to take a wonderful show like this and tear it to pieces by making …

The Men Who Stare at Goats
I really didn’t know what to expect when I went to the theatre to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats, but from what I had read and seen, I was intrigued enough to actually not wait to see it on DVD, which is unusual for me. Plus, I …
Other People’s Money Movie
Starring Danny DeVito
Movies with Danny DeVito in them always seem to draw my attention as I realy believe him to be the trump card that has me sold, when considering to go ahead and watch the movie or not.

Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs (movie)
The Masters of Horror series is incredibly interesting. I like that they have different directors because it gives viewers an idea of how various filmmakers “do” horror. At any rate, “Valerie on the Stairs” is very Twilight Zone-ish in its delivery. In fact, reference to this …
Happy feet movie
The movie is so awesome! It maybe cartoons but made with very decent graphics! I love the flow of the story; it’s about an outcast penguin in Antartica..Wait who wants to be an outcast anyways? But it happens everywhere. In this movie, they are flock of penguins and one …
Gingerdead Man 2 - The Passion Of The Crust Movie
Contrary to a lot of reviews I read before watching this, I did not find this movie hilarious. To me it came off as more annoying and silly than many other B-movies and Horror Comedies; and thus, I found myself immersed in a nightmare which seemed to be a …
Mr. Mom movie
Mr. Mom is really a cute little movie from 1983. I don’t think of it as an A-list movie, but more of a B-film that still delights and is pretty funny. It was also pretty topical for its era. In truth, it’s still topical to a …
Aa Naluguru
Recently, I saw a Telugu movie called Aa Naluguru. I like this movie a lot because it clearly shows how human beings are in modern society, and how the values and morals are decreasing and how to earn fame as well as HOW TO WIN PEOPLE. Casted …
House at the End of the Street (thriller movie)
A movie that I surprisingly didn’t mind was “House at the End of the Street”. It was one of those movies that was released slightly after she had become the next big thing in Hollywood. However, I was almost sure that it was going to be very unsuccessful due to …
The Good Girl
The Good Girl shows Jennifer Anniston at her finest, I think. Jennifer Anniston plays Justine, a married woman working at a small town, dumpy store the equivalent of a Wal Mart. Justine does cosmetics, and makes other women beautiful. Justine doesn’t feel so beautiful, however, and it is apparent …
Sentinal movie
Last night, I watched Sentinal with Keiffer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Although the movie did not get great reviews, I really liked it. It was action-packed, steamy, mysterious, and it kept me from falling asleep, that’s for sure! I thought that Michael Douglas did a fabulous job …

Network movie
Network was an intriguing motion picture that really tests just how far the media will go for ratings. The scary part is I feel like we’ve seen just how far they’d go, only this was back before the craziness really became rampant.
Faye Dunaway makes a big impression in …
Braveheart Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
Cannonball Run
Talk about nostalgia, I’m only twenty-seven years old and I really feel like an old timer when I watch cannonball run. This great movie was probably the funniest of its time. Featuring great actors like Burt Reynolds, who molded perfectly into his role of the bad boy racer, J.J. …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

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 …
Up movie
We ended up having our family movie night Friday and watched the film Up.

Many movies claim to have you on the edge of your seat, but I have never seen a movie do that literally… until I watched Cloverfield. This monster flick redefines the genre and brings viewers a first person look into what an apocalyptic experience is like. The movie was …
Strawberry Shortcake DVD
As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …
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, …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)

Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …
