Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

3 Days to Kill (movie)
I was a little surprised that I didn’t hear anything about the movie “3 Days to Kill” until after it was released on Blu-ray some time later. I decided to take the movie home and watch it since it looked like it might have a fairly good plot, and …
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …

Daybreak movie
A very inventive film from Marcel Carné, who created some amazing films back in the 1930s known as part of the poetic realism. The narrative is very peculiar, as the end of the whole film is the first thing that is shown, and then the rest of the story …
Tangled 3D Movie
I’m a big fan of Disney animated movies, even the ones that are about the so-called Disney Princesses. So when I saw the trailed for Tangled, Disney’s 50th animated film, then you can just imagine how excited I was. After watching the movie in 3D recently, all I can …
P2 : movie

Iron Man (2008)
Another interesting movie I saw this week. But if you wanted a superhero movie like Superman you will clearly not find it in Iron Man, because it’s the antithesis of the ordinary loser who becomes a superhero as a consequence of a truly extraordinary event(I prefer those if you …
Surviving Desire movie

My Cousin Vinny
One of my favorite movies of all times has to be “My Cousin Vinny.” For anyone who has not seen this movie since it came out in 1992, give it a try. You will find yourself laughing through most of the movie.

Kelly’s Heroes
Kelly’s Heroes with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles, and Carroll O’Connor.

27 Dresses (2008)
Here we go again, yet another dull, boring and dreary chick flick to torture the living daylights out of you and leave you wondering why the hell do developers keep putting such utter rubbish on the silver screen, but worst, why do people pay good money to go and …
Wild Things 2, thriller film by Jack Perez
Here’s a sequel to that movie with two famous actresses who kissed each other on screen. Ticket sales were pretty high for Wild Things and video sales were much bigger just for one scene. It would only make sense to cash-in on that one sequence and make Wild Things …
Addicted To Love movie
“Addicted to Love” is all about the actors, Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick going wild with revenge. Although this is a romantic comedy, Ryan chose to interpret a different character then the usual ‘nice girl from next door’.

Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …
Happy Feet
The movie “Happy feet” was great. I brought it for my granddaughters to watch, but I really enjoyed watching it myself. I like the dancing peniguns and the characters portray in the story line. The
choregraphing for the movie was very creative, the music was enlightening. I like the movie …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
Ice Age (The Movie)
I loved this movie so much because it was funny and very touching. Who would have thought that prehistoric animals could have made me get in touch with my softer side? The plot consists of a wooly mammoth, a saber tooth tiger and wonderful sloth named Sid. Each …
A Cinderella Story
The story of Cinderella has been cloned so many times, successfully and not. This 2004 attempt offers a contemporary, high school version set in California. For Cinderella, we have Sam, who is a high school girl sneered at by the popular crowd and overworked by her evil step …
Something New movie
“Something New” is an interesting movie which explores a relationship between a black woman and a white man. What I really liked about this movie is the intelligent way by which it presented the story within a simple and straight forward context and, at the same time, ensuring to …

The Haunted Mansion (movie)

Saving Sarah Cain is a movie I stumbled across one day when I was kind of bored of the usual stuff. It grabbed my attention because it was about a city girl raising her sister’s Amish children. It is a great way of learning more about this rather quite …
Film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Truly one of the most innovative films of the 1980’s, I don’t believe that anyone truly expected what this film was before they witnessed it.
I remember seeing it at the theater when I was around nine years old. I’d seen the advertisements, and while it sure did seem different …
Jay and Silent Bob Strike back (2001)
The main topic of this movie is that jay and Silent Bob are on their way to either do one of two things. But before I go there, here is the situation that the need to address their images have been made into a movie without their consent and …
The House Bunny
When I got the movie The House Bunny, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to expect from it. On one hand, it looked like it would be a cute, funny movie. On the other, it looked like it might be pushing the limits a bit and could simply be …
Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill
The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …
The Golden Compass movie
I watched ‘The Golden Compass’ last night the movie felt rather long, and I was entertained from the start, I was a bit thrown off by all the children in the movie, but it was an enjoyable film, I would say its “Family safe” just a bit of rude humor, …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I think I mentioned once before that I have a huge crush on actress Isla Fisher. In fact, she’s the only reason I took the time to watch the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic because I figured it would end up being a corny and boring chick flick.
However, the …

Headless Horseman movie

1941 movie
I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.

Every one wants more money; especially when the economy is the way it is. That’s why I think the movie Mad Money turned out to be a much better film than I expected it to be; it was very easy to relate to.
