The Dictator (movie)

Drag me to Hell horror movie
I find horror movies interesting to watch. I cannot watch it when I am alone. Last week me and my friend went to the mall and saw this movie Drag me to Hell was being showed in the movie theaters. The movie is very horrifying and we screamed at …
Ali-Will Smith
I enjoyed this movie so much because it was a great learning experience for me. Muhammad Ali was always a name I was familiar with but did not know alot about. I decided to watch this film because I am a fan of Will Smith and was curious about …
Movie: You’ve Got Mail
“You’ve Got Mail” has a couple of good taglines, “someone you pass on the street may already be the love of your life,” and “at odds in life… in love on-line.” Both of them fit in very well with the plot of the movie. One should remember that ten …
“It’s Complicated” movie
The “It’s Complicated” movie with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin is a fantastic movie. It is a very “grown-up” movie (rated R) meaning that it deals with adult issues and emotions. Streep’s performance goes without saying: awesome, honest, mature, whitty, and real. Baldwin plays such …
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …

Back to the Future trilogy
I bought a complete DVD of this 3 part film by Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis (with the help of other producers) with it’s first installment shown in 1985. I never regret buying this stuff because of the entertainment that I get everytime I watch this, time and …
DVD: Hidden Places
I enjoyed watching “Hidden Places” very much. Made for television by Hallmark Entertainment, the a wholesome, family-oriented film comfortably entertains without being overly sweet. The family owns an orange grove in California but faces the threat of foreclosure by the bank. If this sounds familiar, it should because it …
Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
Tell No One - (starring Kristin Scott Thomas)
How would one feel when the wife of a few years dead in a high-profile murder case suddenly sends a message indicating her existence? That’s more or less the plot of Tell No One, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Cluzet.

LAND OF THE DEAD movie
LAND OF THE DEAD
It seemed that George Romero would never make another zombie film. Twenty years had passed since the release and flop of the over-rated DAY OF THE DEAD and nary a new Romero Zombie film was in sight.
Actually, this film was bouncing around in development for a …
Conan the Barbarian
Up until very recently I was more familiar with the movie “Conan the Destroyer” than I was with its nineteen eighty two prequel “Conan the Barbarian”. However, I was finally able to see the movie “Conan the Barbarian” on cable television when the cable television channel G4TV aired it …
The Hunt (2012)
As a fan of cinema entertainment I indulged in watching the movie called The hunt. I choose to watch this movie because of the actor Mads Mikkelsen was the lead Role. Besides that factor, I was drawn to the plot of the film. I must warn that my …
Movie: Backwoods
My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …
Inspector Gadget: A star is lost
My daughter was watching Inspector Gadget (on DVD) when I got home for lunch today so I ended up watching the episode “A Star is Lost” with her.
This one is actually quite funny.
Like most other Inspector Gadget episodes, Gadget is trying to stop MAD from committing some major crime. …
Beerfest DVD
Many movies are made in the comedy section each year. Most of them are the same type of comedy and recycle old jokes. When you find that one movie, that made you cry of laughter… you want to tell people and spread the word about it. For me, the …
Movie: “Evan Almighty” (2007)
This movie was a sequel to the 2003 comedy classic “Bruce Almighty”, but it did absolutely no justice to “Bruce”. “Evan Almighty” was sheer disappointment from start to finish.
The usually hilarious Steve Carell returns as Evan Baxter, his character from the first movie. In this film, he has just …

‘Keg on My Coffin’, a song by The Push Stars
The year 2004 was a great year for awesome music. It was also the same year that I become aware of a relatively unknown, independent recording group known as The Push Stars. Their song ‘Keg on the Coffin’ was receiving extensive radio play on Alabama airwaves by indie recording …
Big Hero 6 (Movie)
I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.
Starting from the design of ‘San Fransokyo’, it is a bit weird, …
21st Century Breakdown
After 5 years of waiting and waiting for their green day to come out with an new album, i have to say the album was defiantly worth the wait, but nothing more. The album is of course amount my favorites, however it does not surpass dookie as my all …

Kindergarten Cop movie
This is one of the oldest movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I first saw this film when I was just a young girl. Now, I have seen it again in HBO and it felt like I have only seen it now. It is a comedy film, not the usual Terminator …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Blood diamond
I have watched countless movies in the last year and personally rate Blood Diamond on a par with The Departed as 2006’s best movie. Another strong, mature performance from DiCaprio ensures this movie never flags.
In recent times there has been a glut of African “conscience” movies but this has …

The focus of this movie is about a recently divorced couple and the heart aching task they go through in order to keep their children happy in the face of the terrible period in their lives. This is not made easier by the fact that the husband Luke, played …

Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …

The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …

Bridesmaids is a film that has been out for a while now, and I have been dying to see it. This weekend, I finally got around to it, and I must say that it caused me to laugh harder and more often than any other film in recent memory. …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Although my daughter is too young to write reviews, she surely knows how to show if she enjoyed watching a film or not. “Alvin and the Chipmunks” is amongst her favourite and she keeps watching it and watching it. Soon I will start knowing the film script by heart!
Although …

Movie Anger Management
If you want to watch a good movie and forget about any stress you may have, well don’t choose to watch “Anger Management”. This is an incredible hiliarious movie with the actors, Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson at their best in opposite roles. I believe that if you are …
The Unexplained: Hauntings (NR, 1997) DVD
I will confess that I was expecting something a little bit longer. Showing for only 50 minutes, I was looking for a bit more depth. This History Channel program dives into the supernatural, and spends a few minutes with different people who have had experience …
Movie Pretty in Pink
I must admit that recently I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and watched “Pretty in Pink”. In my opinion, this is one of the best movies for Molly Rigward along with “Sixteen Candles”. According to certain reviews, it also seems to be Molly Rigward …

Prozac Nation (movie)
“Prozac Nation” was one of those movies that I didn’t know about until very long after when I had seen it on cable television. The only reason why I even watched it at the time was because I was still fascinated with the actress Christina Ricci, and wanted to …

This movie, for those of you out of the loop, is about Bob Dylan. The name is taken from an obscure Bob Dylan song that the director, Todd Haynes, went on an epic journey to find a studio recording of, only to find one in Neil Young’s basement.

Meshes of the Afternoon moive
Perhaps the most important of all experimental films ever made. This was directed by Maya Deren and is and shows one event taking place repeatedly, but each time there is a difference in the way it occurs, only a minor one barely noticable. No matter what you think about …
