What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …

This movie was one that I saw as part of an all female outing with the husbands left at home. The people who saw it were all women in their 30s, to give the review context. It stars Vince Vaughan and Jennifer Aniston as the lead characters, and as …
Dangerous Liasons movie
“Dangerous Liasons” is the name of a 1988 movie starring quite a few A-list celebrities such as Michelle Pfeifer, Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves and Glen Close. It was the oldest movie I remember seeing the actress Uma Thurman in as previously, the only movies I rememebr seeing her in …

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016 Adventure Comedy-Drama Film)
Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …
Christmas in Wonderland
My very favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, stars in this holiday movie, “Christmas in Wonderland”. I just saw it for the first time when it aired on TV, and I have mixed feelings about it.
Patrick was great, as always. He’s heavy in the first 15 minutes of the …

The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
Caregiver by Sharon Cuneta
I know Filipinos are a bit easy to please. Even with tv shows, it seems that a simple plot does not matter to them for as long as their favorite artist stars the show, or the movie. Well as for me, I think it is not about who plays …
Movie The love guru
This was an overall alright movie I thought. I just didn’t care for it all that much. I think it was the type of movie it was. I think it could have been a lot of better especially with the actors that were in it. Jessica Alba, Mike Myers …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …
DeepDiscountDVD.com
I use DeepDiscountDVD.com about 6 times a year to purchase DVD’s. The site offers movies, books, and music, but I primarily use it to purchase movies. I typically buy $150 - $200 worth of DVD’s at a time because the site offers free standard shipping within the U.S. So …

Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …

Danika (R, 2006)

Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?

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.

Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
Delta Farce movie
I have to admit, I always liked Larry the Cable Guy as a stand-up comedian but his movies, though somewhat dumb, are pretty good.
The movie Delta Farce is definitely a good example of this.
Larry, Bill Engvall and D.J. Qualls play a group of army reservists who are called up …
The Movie Open Range (2003)

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
—˜Confessions of a Shopaholic’ is a great movie for us women. I believe that many women have —˜shopaholic’ moments where we buy all kind of things and end up not using most of them like the main character of this movie interpreted by Isla Fisher.
The first thing that really …
