Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …
Alfie
Alfie played by Jude Law is a sexually confident and widely flirtatious man who makes it his mission to keep company with the most beautiful women. He never met a woman he didn’t like. His philosophy was there were far too many beautiful women in New York City to …
Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (movie 2004)
This is not the sequesl that we were all hoping and looking forward to seeing. What the hell happened is beyond my comprehension as the missed the target….way off. Taking into consideration where the last movie ended, the second installation did not pick up from that point as I …
Rocky IV
I haven’t watched any Rocky movies in a while. But, I was up with my daughter the other night and came across Rocky IV.
This is still one of the better Rocky movies ever made; even when it is cut up for television broadcast. Watching Rocky take on a guy …
Monsters Movie (2010)
I just saw the movie Monsters last night and I don’t really quite know how to categorize it. I cannot put it in bad movie file, but then I cannot recommend to watch it. I can’t even quite tell if I can enjoyed it. The feeling this movie has …
The Nanny Diaries
Annie has just graduated from college with a degree in business, but her first job interview at a bank turns out to be a disaster. Perhaps it is because business is not really her thing, Annie actually dreams to be an anthropologist � an idea her mother scoffs at. …
Waitress (2007)
A small town woman living a small town life, dreams of leaving her current surrounds in hopes of launching her own bakery and serving up her famous and delectable pies that are dreamed up with kindness and baked with love. Sounds like a very delicious movie huh, but on …
Teeth, movie by Mitchell Lichtenstein
Teeth is a movie written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein and stars Jess Weixler. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
I’ll admit, this movie wasn’t what I expected. I first rented it because I …
The Movie Madagascar
Madagascar was a movie that I could not wait to see. The trailers looked hilarious and it seemed to have good animation. I, as usual, waited for the movie to be available for rent before I saw it. I was really glad that I did not go and …
Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie
I was surprised that this movie didn’t get more thumbs down on Netflix reviews. This was an interesting film that could have been much much better. Offering a slightly different spin on the typical teenage group in the woods slasher film, this movie uses a little …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
My review is very so so with this movie. I was so excited to see it because I heard how awesome it was and I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. I had it in my NetFlix queue for ever and was uber excited when they finally sent it …
Traitor (2008)
Don Cheadle plays the character of a devout Muslim who must play both sides of the field; one is that of a Muslim supporter who sells arms and makes bombs for the suicide bombers and the other is that of an agent for the United States government who is …
Easter Parade movie
Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …
Three Days of the Condor movie
Sydney Pollack directed this mesmerizing spy thriller, Three Days of the Condor, in 1975. It stars Robert Redford as Joseph Turner, a man who reads books for a living. He’s employed by the CIA. His very unassuming place of employment seems low key and simple enough. …
Mystic Pizza
Mystic Pizza stars the very talented and gorgeous Julia Roberts and when I looked at the DVD cover of this movie, it is really gorgeous with a nice illustration picture altogether. Annabeth Gish stars too and I think the acting’s awesome.
3 sisters with different lives to lead and their …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.
Book of Secrets relies on two things; first, there is …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …
Chrystal
I hesitated to watch this suspsense movie at first because it was low budget and I have not had very may good experiences with low budget suspense and thriller films since many of them I’ve watched have turned out to bear some of the qualities I generally see in …
Seabiscuit (2003)
Have you ever been to the horse races? Have you ever had to sit there and wait until they get the horses ready for the race, wait until they are all lined up in their stocks, wait for the release and then the actually race itself? Even had to …
Movie Outbreak (1995)

This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Dustin Hoffman as Colonel Sam Daniels, Rene Russo as …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …
P2 (R, 2007) movie
I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …
Payback (1999 movie)
After a robbery, Mel Gibson is betrayed, shot and left for dead by his wife and best friend. Surviving his ordeal, he sets out for revenge and the money that is rightfully his. This is one of Mel Gibsons finest work as he plays a very dark vengeful character. …
Tombs of the Blind Dead, movie (1971)
After the release of the George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, zombie films were a noticeable trend from foreign film markets. Yet, it would be much bigger when Dawn of the Dead came out. But, Night was not without its own knock-offs. One movie in …
Weather Man: movie
Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …
Movie The Terminal
The Terminal
Starring :
- Tom Hank
- Catherina Zeta Zones
- Stanley Tucci
It was just few days ago since my husband mentioned about this movie. And last night, it was on television. And that was the first time I saw this movie. The story is about Viktor Navorski who come from Europe …
She’s Out of My League (2010) movie
I meant to go see this movie in theaters but never got around to it so I was excited that I finally got in on my netflix ready to go. So I jumped right on into this one hoping for the best.
So the premise of this movie is …
The Lair Of The White Worm movie
The Lair Of The White Worm is a silly little fantasy, science fiction, horror type film. The Lair Of The White Worm is probably a cult classic, although I don’t think that many people know of this movie. This movie is about people who find a skull that seems …
Twilight Saga: New Moon
As you may have noticed, the next movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon, was just released November 20, 2009. I went to the 9:30am showing at my local AMC Theater. I have read all the books for the series. Let me start the reivew by saying, …
Going My Way movie
Going My Way is absolutely wonderful. With Bing Crosby in the lead, you know it’s going to be somewhat laid back, and it is. It’s a subtle work that touches the heart and spurs on our emotions. Crosby is Father O’Malley, and he’s been sent to …
The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Taken the movie
I was first attracted to watch the movie “Taken” when I learned that Liam Neeson was heading the cast: I’ve always had a high regard for his acting ability and innate charm. Adding to the attraction for me was the fact that Luc Besson, the French film director, was …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Another Cinderella story with a cultural relevance is Memoirs of a Geisha, a movie adaptation of Arthur Golden’s best selling novel. If there is anyone who is into cultural immersion and intense drama, then I recommend this movie.
The movie follows the story of Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo), a young girl …
Orgazmo
I rented Orgazmo on the recommendation of a friend and thought it was going to turn out to be a stupid movie. I was right, it was stupid. However, it was also one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen.
The movie, about a Mormon, Joe Young, who is …
Johnny Guitar movie
This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns. The storyline and narrative is daring and unusual for the time. Johnny Guitar was made in the 1950s …
Rocky 5
Rocky 5 with Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, and Tommy Morrison.
Many have called this the worst Rocky sequel. I would have to agree with this rating, but even the worst is not that bad in this case. The characters stay true to form …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
Green Zone
Green Zone movie is based on the American invasion of Iraq and the truth behind it. I reckon its one of the best Non-Friction movie made this year and the truth behind the Iraq war has really been well told by the movie. Really liked the Matt Damon’s acting …
Happy Feet-the movie
Happy Feet is a great little movie. I believe it is great for the young and old. That makes a cartoon movie good. If you can sit there as an adult with your child and enjoy the movie as much as your child. YAY!
Happy Feet is about a penguin …
Slumdog Millionaire
I actually didn’t know what to expect of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I was worried that it would be a bollywood type production, which I was not really interested in seeing. I was also a bit skeptical on just how good a movie starring actors in their first large …
Final Destination movie
First when I decided review this movie; I had no idea where to start and what to write because the stream of mixed feelings came to my mind about it. A few days ago, when I was with my friends, they asked me to join them; even though I …
Roxanne 1987 movie
What a pathetic movie. The story is stolen from Cyrano de Bergerac, modernized and stupidified. Steve Martin plays a big-nosed guy, smart and good-hearted but unattractive. Then comes Roxanne, a beautiful scientist. A handsome but brainless fellow likes her, however he is so scared to show his stupidity that …
Monster movie
Monster is about Aileen Wuornos, a female serial killer. Monster looks behind the scenes and tells you the real story of Aileen. I never thought that Aileen was justified in murdering men in cold blood, but I can say that I feel Aileen was a victim of men all …
X-Men 3 movie
I have a very high expectations on the movie since I am one of the X-Men Fanatic, though I was a bit disappointed when I found out that the director of X-men 1 and 2 is not directing 3 because he has some other engagement. I have been expecting …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …
Happy feet movie
I Have seen the movie happy feet 2 months back. The movie happy feet was excellent.Its all about a small penguine. Its about a small dumb penguine how it expressed his feelings through dance. The animation in the movie was excellent. At the first no one likes the poor …
