50 First Dates
50 First Dates stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
This classic love story takes place in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii, and aside from this location, it was clearly a clone of the Wedding Singer that also starred these two actors. Aside from this fact, I loved the …

Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
What fascinated me the most was the appearance of Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Thomas Arnold. At the …

The Women (Movie)
This is a very nice movie and when I watched this I was reminded by Sex and the City, but the girls here are much laid-back and more conservative and more professional and laid-back than the cast of Sex and the City, but they aren’t necessarily boring.
The movie features …
P.S. I Love You movie
I know that I am a girl and I love reading love stories but I am not a big fan of watching a pure drama love stories. Don’t get me wrong, I love mushy stuff but not the drama factor the whole time because it really affects my mood. When …
Movie Swan Princess
I decided to sit down and watch a movie with my daughter yesterday before she took her nap. After some discussion (I really did not want to watch another Scooby Doo movie), we ended up watching The Swan Princess. I didn’t know what to expect at first, but it …
K-Pax
I think K-Pax is a great movie. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges do a great job in this film. So the movie is about an man who all of a sudden shows us at an air port, and he claims to be from another planet. Most people think that …
Movie Jersey Girl
“Jersey Girl” is a movie ‘victim’ of a broken relationship. The main actors in this movie had to be Ben Afflick and Jennifer Lopez, however after the end of their relationship Lopez didn’t want to have anything to do with it, so the script had to be changed and …
My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …
Proof (2005)
“Proof” is a 2005 color movie in English lasting 99 minutes. Location work was filmed in Chicago. In someways “Proof” is a knockoff of “A Beautiful Mind” featuring Russell Crowe. “Proof” is not as well done as “A Beautiful Mind,” but still a good movie. In this movie Gwyneth …
The Dead Zone
OK, is there a movie Christopher Walken doesn�t have a role in? Though, I have to admit, it was a bit strange seeing him actually be the star rather than have a supporting role.
Last night was the first time I had a chance to watch this movie from the …

Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …

Cloverfield
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 …

Young at Heart movie
1954’s Young at Heart is one of my favorite movies. Interestly, though, I’ve changed how I liked it from when I was a little girl to how I like it as an adult. I always enjoyed it, but as a child, I wanted the resolution to the …
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
When I come to think of it, there was such a long wait involved before I finally achieved closure on the Star Wars story. Just imagine waiting for a decade before I finally found out what was going on. Maybe if I read some books about the …

The Vanished Murderer (Suspense Crime Action Thriller)
I guess I am on a marathon of Jiang Yiyan’s movies. I’ve previously mentioned why I became a fan of her and I won’t repeat myself here again.
A thing I realized about her movies is that, she usually has very interesting roles but the movie itself is always lacking somehow. …
Klute Movie

The Deal (movie)
Of course, I am neither a fan of films of the romance comedy genre, nor the popular romance actress Meg Ryan, but one day when I was very bored and nothing else was being aired on cable television, I decided to watch the movie “The Deal”. I had never …
Beauty and The Beast
The “Beauty and The Beast” I am reviewing is the TV series that ran in 1987-1990, not the Disney animation. Those who have watched the series know that it has nothing to do with the classic fairytale: the story is set in modern day New York. Catherine, a beautiful …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …

Hello, Dolly!
When Hello, Dolly! was brought to the big screen in 1969 after being a successful musical on Broadway, Hollywood cast Barbra Streisand in the role of Dolly Levi. It wasn’t a role she wanted. After all, she was too young to play the matronly Levi. On …

Movie Thunderball
Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …

Avatar movie 2009
I saw the movie Avatar three times– twice in the theater in 3-D, and once at home in 2-D as a rental. I’d been looking forward to seeing it months before it ever came out. The big question always being: would it live up to all the hype? I …

11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …
Streets of Fire
Streets of Fire with Rick Moranis, Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Michael Pare, and Amy Madigan.

Pearl Harbor
First off, I am a BIG Jerry Bruckheimer fan and am always excited to see one of his movies. HOWEVER, not even the Jerry Bruckheimer name can save the mess of a movie that is Pearl Harbor. The first hour or so of the movie contains some …
Jurassic World (2015) movie
It’s been fourteen years since “Jurassic Park 3″ made its debut in theaters, and at the time of its release, interest in the franchise seemed to be waning. Perhaps by then, the “wow” factor had been starting to wear off as the 1993 hit “Jurassic Park” stunned movie critics and …
Beethoven - The Pooch Pack (DVD 2006)
All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …
Friended to Death, movie (2014)
Watching a dreary film like Friended to Death has been a total waste of my time and energy. Directed by Sarah Smick and starring Ryan Hansen, James Immekus, Zach McGowan and others, this film has failed to keep me glued to it. Perhaps the director had aimed at shooting …
