The wind will carry us movie
The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …
27 Dresses
Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …
Movie : Infection
Being a big fan of the Asian horror genre it was only a matter of time before I checked out the film Infection. All the things I love about Asian horror are present and accounted for in this film by Masayuki Ochiai. Like many films of this …
Raising Arizona: movie

The Dark Half,movie
The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …
Into the Blue,movie
Into the Blue
Sony Pictures
Stars: Jessica Alba and Paul Walker
They need to sink this movie. If you are a guy then the constant butt shots of Jessica Alba are plenteous. This movie had a stupid plot, gave in to the stereotypes about lawyers (greedy sharks), and pretty much had me …
Hope Floats
I admit that I generally enjoy watching Sandra Bullock’s movie; however “Hope Floats” failed to impress me. I feel that there is something missing script wise which failed to make a good movie. I also believe that “Hope Floats” was another Bullock attempt to make a romantic movie tackling a …

Raymond Burr is back in Perry Mason: The Case of the Telltale Talk Show Host, a TV movie in which Mariette Hartley guest stars as Dr. Sheila Carlin, a radio talk show host who is a friend of Della Street’s. Della, of course, is elegantly played by the …
Monsters, Inc. movie
My daughter has never seen the movie Monsters Inc before so I made sure to sit down and watch it with her this past weekend.
It had been a while since I’ve seen this movie and I didn’t remember much about it. But, after watching it again, I can remember …
27 dresses (movie)
We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …
James Bond - Casino Royale
This movie is quite different from all the previous 007 movies starting from Sean Connery as James Bonds. First I have to point out that the opening introductory song is also different. From all the previous ones, when the music started, there were usually profiles of women dancing all …
Nacho Libre
Nacho Libre with Jack Black.
As a fan of Mexican Lucha Libre, or professional wrestling as it could be called, I thoroughly enjoyed this film about this national past time. It appears to be a comedy farce film, but it is too accurate in its …
Zombieland: Movie
I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …

The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band
My absolute second favorite Disney film ever, and one of my all-time films of any kind, is the somewhat unknown, “The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band.” With Buddy Ebsen, Janet Blair, and Walter Brennan as the lead performers, the film also reunited John Davidson and Lesley …
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 …
Mamma Mia! The Movie
I have loved Abba songs as a young girl and it was a nice surprise to find out that a movie has been made using some of their songs. Later I discovered that the movie was actually based on a successful stage musical! (Wish I could watch that someday).
We …
Pretty In Pink
I loved Molly Ringwald as the pitiful Andie in Pretty In Pink. Actually, I never watched the movie but loved the song by the Psychedelic Furs of the same name. There was a bit of buzz about Pretty In Pink, the movie, so I sat down for a viewing. …
Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …
Transformers (2007)
Amazing! Right from the start this movie has you hooked. There is nothing that I can say “bad” about the “Transformers” movie.
For starters, they give you an idea of what happened on the home planet between the two battling factions. It is explained how and why the Transformers had …
Minutemen
The best words to describe the movie “Minutemen” is a teen version of the movie “Back to the Future” based in high school. Although this is another Disney movie with a high school story, one can never compare this movie to the very much renowned and loved “High School …
Coyote Ugly (2000)
Female bartenders are the order of the day when you get yourself in gear to sit down and watch this movie. To enjoy it is just like the beverages that are served, it is an acquired taste and with this movie, it is best to watch it multiple times …
Con Air Movie
I’ve seen this movie for many times. The leading actor Nicolas Cage is one of favorite. In this story he was married to a lovely wife who is currently pregnant. I like the story because it showed how much he loved his wife. He accidentally in prison because of …

I have a great time going to the movies with my husband and daughter. We have really been looking forward to WALL-E coming out in the theatres. The trailers for it looked great. We finally got to see it last Saturday. We were really excited. …
Friday the 13th Part 6
Friday the 13th part 6 isn’t my favorite, but there are a few scenes that I really love. One thing that I loved is that two 1980’s actors from soap operas appear in the movie. The first is a man who played Duncan on As the World Turns. On …

Balls of Fury
I normally enjoy Christopher Walken movies but the film Balls of Fury was a bit too stupid for my tastes.
I’ve always thought table tennis as a competitive sport was a bit too much. It’s a game that should be played at home and that’s it. So, when you make …
The Lorax
My daughter loves Dr. Seuss books so I recently picked her up a movie based off of one of them “The Lorax.” And, I have to say, despite the fact it was obviously filmed years ago, it was still quite a good movie.
If you haven’t seen the movie or …
Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …
School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
Cider House Rules
I am reviewing the movie, The Cider House Rules, starring Tobey McGuire and Michael Caine. Cider House Rules is about many things. Tobey plays Homer Wells, an permanent orphan who lives at the orphanage with Dr. Larch (Caine), nurses, and other orphans. He has been trained …

Everything was going really well until it started heavy rain in …
Columbia House DVD
I had a very bad experience with Columbia House’s DVD club. Through this club, you are offred a certain number of DVDs at a discount as long as you buy a set amount of DVDs at regular price within a set amount of time. I signed up through a …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
To start, I feel that no amount of words could ever do this movie the justice it deserves…..but nevertheless, I’ll try my best.
In a basic summation, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the film adaptation of the classic, semi-autobiographical tale written by the late, great Hunter S. Thompson. …
Madhouse
Starring: Joshua Leonard (Clark Stevens), Jordan Ladd (Sara), Lance Henriksen (Dr Franks), Dendrie Taylor (Nurse Hendricks)
It is rather scary when you think that the shadows you see from the corner of your eyes are not real, but a figment of your imagination. Ben London (one of the …

Les Miserables (2012 movie)
The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
Black Sunday movie
Mario Bava’s breakthrough picture has an opening scene that astounded a whole generation of filmmakers. It is so filled with mood and gothic beauty, but at the same time frightening in its graphical violence. The story here is about a witch waking up from her slumber in 1700th century …
The Pelican Brief thriller
I usually don’t like political thrillers, but I found the Pelican Brief to be a thought-invoking and fantastic film. It’s one I would watch over again.
Julia Roberts is better known for her romantic comedies but I think she’s actually better in dramas. She gives one of the best performances …
Movie: Alice in Wonderland
Let’s see, Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp starring. There is absolutely no way the movie Alice in Wonderland would suck.
Wow was I wrong about that.
I didn’t see this movie in the theater for a few reasons and, after seeing it this past weekend, I honestly am glad I …
