I saw previews of “Saving Sarah Cain” before watching another movie, and it looked like something I would not only want to watch but probably also add to my movie collection. I bought a DVD from Amazon shortly after that, and my husband and I watched the movie together.
“Saving …

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 realize that most people think this is the worst film in the entire series of Friday the 13th movies, but I actually did like it. I think what I liked the most was that it almost feels as if the producers know people will think it’s cheesy so …

Starring Kevin Costner (Earl Brooks), Demi Moore (Detective Tracy Atwood), William Hurt (Marshall), Dane Cook (Mr Smith), Marg Helgenberger (Emma Brooks), Danielle Panabaker (Jane Brooks)

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace doesn’t exactly strike me as the movie that fans really expected Lucas to make following the original three films. The way that Lucas released his movies makes it slightly hard to connect them all, assuming Episode 2 and 3 are currently missing, …

I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …

I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …

I’m not going to lie. I thought Ocean’s 12 was absolutely terrible! Ocean’s 11 was, in my opinion, a very solid movie, that I thoroughly enjoyed. So when the third in line of the sequel was announced, I was a bit skeptical. But, nonetheless, I …

About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …

I watched this film upon the recommendation of one of nytimes film critics. I rely heavily on movie reviews, as I prefer to see titles released under the radar. It was a long wait for this film to be released in DVD version, and I had …

Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …

Ben Stiller brings this familiar romp to life along with a strong supporting caste including Robert De Niro. I Thought this film captured some of the better elements that occur when meeting a fiancée’s in-laws for the first time, and it brought something different to a genre where I …

The special effects, while impressive …

I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …

I was very disappointed to see this film listed in the Razzie Awards 2008 because I truly believe it is a great comedy were one can have a good hearty laugh at the misfortuntes of two fellow firefighters, Chuck and Larry. The parts of Chuck and Larry are interpreted …

I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.

If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
