“Stardust” is a sweeping family fantasy based on a book by Neil Gaiman and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. Although the plot was a bit confusing in places, I love this beautiful film; it’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and still enjoy.

After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …

The new Indiana Jones flick did well at the box office and for good reason. It’s a nice compliment to the old trilogy, but I have to say, I hope they don’t make a fifth Indy film.
Diehard Spielberg fans (if those exist) won’t be disappointed (and neither will the …

I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.

This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …

Scientifically engineered babies are used to fund a secret organization that in turns fund a theme park. Hmmm, a very interesting situation. I don’t get it and neither will you. LOL! All you will need to understand about this movie is that there are super babies cultivated by scientists …

Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …

I heard very little about Zombieland before I rented it, however in passing I heard nothing but praise for the movie. I figured this was a bad sign. I very seldom agree with the masses on what is considered good, so I went into Zombieland thinking I was going …

Quentin Tarantino shocked the world with this daring film from 1992, that seemed to appear out of nowhere back then. It is a story told in flashbacks about a gang of criminals doing a big job on diamond theft and fails. One of the members is an under cover …

While Eva Longoria Parker does a great job in the starring role of a fiancée who is killed …

Ice Age is a different movie set in the time of the Ice Age. It is definitely not for those who aren’t into animated films, since it follows the animated scheme a lot. It is a simple and entertaining story with some great scenes and it works. It isn’t …

I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …

“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …

Fool’s Gold is a genreless movie fresh to the theaters. Well, they say it has a genre, but once you watch the movie, the genre becomes rather unapparent. The movie is about a bickering married couple (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) on the edge of divorcing who team up …

With much hype surrounding such releases as Prince Caspian and Wanted, Indiana Jones without a doubt tops the list as the most anticipated and most wanted film of 2008 thus far, and perhaps of the entire 2008 to come. Was this mere hype that the man was returning after …

This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …

I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …

Renee Zellwenger had to increase about 25 lbs. in order to interpret the role of Bridget Jones. Even though she felt a lot chubby, her sacrifices were all worth it in the end. “Bridget Jones Diary” was a smashing hit and definitely her most successful movie!
So why “Bridget Jones …

‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …

I actually delayed watching this movie for years for two reasons. The first was that I honestly didn’t think that it would be very good. I mean, how could a film about the other set of primates be that interesting? The second reason was that I’m slightly afraid of those …

I hadn’t been to the movie theater in a long time since the big screen seems dominated by typical hollywood trash. But Michael Jackson’s This Is It was truly an exception because it’s an original movie that stands out in a culture full of one cheesy remake after …

I have lived in several states over the past few years and each place I lived had a RedBox kiosk somewhere close by. Usually the kiosk was located at Wal-Mart or Kroger.
I have only had two incidents with using RedBox, but was compensated for each infraction. Twice I …

A great depiction of the classic novel by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by great visionary filmmaker Michael Mann who shows he’s not only good for gangster movies. A visually breathtaking film, but it also hits my heart on an emotional level. This is a lot thanks to the great …

When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …

For me, most horror movies that have been produced in the last decade have merely used rehashed cliches and the same formulas to create what often turns out to be a subpar movie. The story doesn’t flow often and cheap tactics are used to incite fear. ‘Annabelle’ is another one …

Well, I finally got …

The movie Extraordinary Measures, directed by Tom Vaughn is really a fantastic and engaging film. I was looking for a movie to watch this last weekend, it took me a while to find it, but it was worth it. It is not mentioned in the title, but the movie …

Redbox, for those that don’t know what it is, are those big red movie vending machines that can be found at most Wal-Marts, Walgreens, gas stations and McDonalds. They’re basically everywhere. Sometimes you’ll find two of them in one location if they get a lot of business. Whoever invented …
