Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
With the next movie franchise coming out soon, I decided to update myself on the Harry Potter series. Sadly though, I was not as fascinated as I should be with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I loved the book, mind you, but I hated the movie. First …
Music and Lyrics (2007)
There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …
Iron Man (2008)

Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
2001: A Space Oddyssey (1968)
The film 2001: A Space Odyssey is a mind bending triumph of land mark cinematic filmmaking. Released in 1968, it was a box office hit, but was misunderstood by many critics as to what they were viewing. They had no idea they were viewing a celluloid epic creation which …

My Blueberry Nights
It is certainly refreshing to see Norah Jones doing other things rather than just singing and showcasing her real nice voice. I have the chance to watch the DVD movie, My Blueberry Nights, and the Director is Wong Kar-Wai. Other than Norah Jones, Jude Law and Natalie Portman …
IMDB.com
IMDB.com (stands for Internet Movie Database) is, in my opinion, one of the best movie-related sites. You can find information about virtually any movie on it, even those that are no longer available. You can search the database for a specific movie title or a specific actor. Each actor …
Revenge of the Bridesmaids Movie (2010)
This was a cute little made for tv movie. It is intended for a younger audience if I had to guess. I would say it is appropriate for the ages 8 and up. It has little inappropriate humor, no bad language and only a …
Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Vol 6
I have no trouble admitting this: I am a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, and I have been ever since I was a kid, watching them on Saturday mornings. But then, as I got older, I discovered that there were certain cartoons in the Warner Bros. library that …
A Man Called Ove (2016 Swedish Comedy-Drama Film)

Streetfighter (movie)
What can I say Streetfighter is probably one of the worst movies based on a video game ever made. This movie tried to use the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme but not even that was able to save the movie. The probably with Streetfighter was that the people who …
Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
Dawn of the Dead Movie(2004)
Once again another bad horror movie is made…and a corpse turns in its grave. Directors and actors please give note to this…stop making horror films as you know not what you are doing. You all lack the vision in what it takes to make a decent horror flick. If …

The Hunger Games (Movie)
One of the movies that I have watched over the course of the year, is “The Hunger Games”, starring actors Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. The thing that really compelled me to go and see the movie was the books, as I found the whole series enthralling. The trailer …
Dinosaur Island Movie
Last night we had an early family movie night and ended up watching the film Dinosaur Island. At the time, I figured it was a movie our daughter would enjoy and was just willing to suffer through it for her sake. But, it turned out to be a pretty …
“Meet Joe Black”: The Movie with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt
“Meet Joe Black” classifies as one of the top ten movies Hollywood has produced, in my opinion at least. The movie was loosely based on the black and white film “Death Takes a Holiday.” Brad Pitt played Death, Anthony Hopkins played Bill Parrish, and Claire Forlani played Susan Parrish. …

Notorious movie
Notorious is a film made about the life and death of the New York rapper Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G.

Definitely, Maybe movie
I normally have no interest in watching romance movies, especially romance comedy films. However, the only thing which attracted the romance comedy “Definitely, Maybe” was in the first place was the fact that the comedy actor Ryan Reynolds was going to be in it. Thus of course, I expected …
40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …
Slumdog Millionaire
I just watched Slumdog Millionaire, it was my first time seeing it. It was a blu-ray rental and I have to say it is a movie that is superb and deserved all of the Golden Globes, Oscars and Bafta awards that it won.
The movie follows a young boy …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
Second Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great movie! The cast is all the same with new characters being introduced. I though Lockheart was perfectly portrayed and oh my goodness, Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect! I hate his character but I love to watch him onscreen because …

I thought it was pretty good overall. It was …

In the months leading up to The Dark Knight, I had heard so much about the film from people who love Batman saying things like “this is the way batman is supposed to be” and that “Chris Nolan is one of the best movie makers around”. Needless to say …
Smokey Mountain Christmas Movie
A Smokey Mountain Christmas is a movie from the 80s that stars Dolly Parton. It is just a cute, feel good Christmas movie. It kind of has a Snow White and the seven dwarves feel to it. Dolly stars as a popular country singer who wants to get away …
Secrets of an Actress movie
I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …

Baby Mama, comedy film
From the man that brought us the Austin Powers movies comes a new kind of comedy. Well Baby Mama isn’t really a new kind of movie; it is a comedy movie that has two leading ladies and no one else. Baby Mama might be the best movie from both …

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
This was on the television the other day and I have never seen it so I decided to watch it. Honestly it didn’t live up to it’s expectations. I wasn’t entertained or interested in the movie as much as I should have been. I became bored watching the movie. …
