Mean Girls
I was a Lindsay Lohan fan before all the controversy about her surfaced. I think she’s really pretty and talented. I especially like her in Freaky Friday. But when she started acting up and many negative things about her came out, I stopped watching her movies all together. But …

Mamma Mia! Movie (2008)
I had only watched this movie recently as I thought it was corny, but to my surprise, it turned out to be really great! The movie was comedic and was kind of a musical, I surprised myself by really liking it, it was actually the first time I heard …
Eat Pray Love: The Movie
For those of you going through a midlife crisis (like me), you can easily identify with Eat Pray Love. It stars Julia Roberts, who after going through some difficult times, travels to Italy to eat, to India to pray, and finally to Bali to fall in love. It is …

X Men First Class movie
I have always been an X men fan but after the last set of X men related movies I was just not very excited about this next X men movie. I didn’t think it would be that great but I was wrong. Wow X men first class if what the …
Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde (2003)
As if the first movie was not bad enough for the viewers, there is now this load of what can only be called utter crap of a movie. This time, it is now Elle’s job to bring a voice to the animals when she discovers that her dog’s mother …
Maid in Manhatten
This is another great movie to add to your movie night ! It has Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes as the main leads. I think it is a sweet story of a hard working woman who realizes that she wants and deserves more out of life and finally …
Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …
Movie Election
Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …

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, …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
Rock Rock Rock! movie
Rock Rock Rock! from 1956 is one of those movie musicals that is more like an excuse to show off the music of the day. The plot is thin and barely there, put in the back seat to the various songs that are sung.
Below are some thoughts on …
Movie: City Slickers

I watched this Movie two days ago, I heard from a friend that this Movie was good and I came to see it on a big screen. I am amazed since those actress and actors who portrayed the story was those Vatican in a big Movie.

Austin Powers (Movie)
Let’s be honest, have you never laughed at silly things? Do we not laugh at such simple comments said in a funny way? Or by the idiot face that some of our friends display from time to time so that we laugh when we are sad? This film is …

My Fair Lady
1964’s My Fair Lady is definitely a movie classic. It’s a musical that continues to touch those who view it. It’s well made and excellently portrayed.
Rex Harrison stars as Professor Henry Higgens, with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle. One must wonder if the picture would have …
Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …

“Battle of the Bulbs” (2010 Film)
While I am a fan of holiday films, I am sorry to say that the 2010 Hallmark channel film, “Battle of the Bulbs” was not one that I would wish to watch again. The film lacked a decent plot I believe, and didn’t really appeal to me and get …
Pretty Woman
I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.
Maybe I’m just a closet Julia Roberts fan but I just can’t get enough of a Cinderella story that has a prostitute and millionaire falling …
For Pete’s Sake movie
I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …

Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie
I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
Nayak (movie), 2001
The movie Nayak released in 2001. I watched this film at home on TV. The story is of a man who becomes the Chief Minister of a state for only one day and what kind of changes and reformation he introduces into the system for the betterment of people …
Pride and Prjudice 2006

The Invasion (PG-13, 2007)
I was all prepared to really hate this movie, or at the very least, dislike it intensely. This is because most of the films of this genre - especially those that are remakes of old classics—tend to be very poorly made. I knew this movie had …
A Perfect Getaway (Movie)
When I saw this on the trailer I immediately knew it was going to be a very good suspense/thriller movie. The movie features Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn as the Anderson honeymooners, Timothy Olyphant and and Kiele Sanchez as the other couple, and Marley Shelton and Chris Hemsworth as …
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Ok, I’ll admit it, when My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out, I thought it was going to be stupid. That’s why I didn’t see it at the theater or even rent it on DVD.
However, when I finally saw it on cable the other day, I have to admit I was …
Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story (PG13, 2004)
I am a huge fan of true crime stories. Back in 2002, I followed this particular story fairly closely, and thought that something just wasn’t quite right about Scott Peterson and his lack of emotion. This movie, which I think featured on regular television, was …
The Social Network Movie (2010)

Movie Scent of a Woman
I’ve seen plenty of Al Pacino films but Scent of a Woman is easily my favorite.
Even though I originally thought this was going to be a comedy, I was pleasantly surprised with the drama. Pacino plays a blind retired soldier (who we learn became blind because he screwed up) …
Big Momma’s House 2
This was by far one of the dumbest movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. I was made to watch this by a friend and tried to watch it with an open mind, but that was dashed 5 minutes into the movie. Don’t get me wrong, Martin …
