Billy Madison (1995)
Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.
Billy …

The Heartbreak Kid
I didn’t know too much about the movie The Heartbreak Kid when I first rented it. But, I figured it had Ben Stiller in it so it couldn’t be too bad.
As far as Stiller’s movies go, this is OK but not one of his better ones.
The biggest reason I …
Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …

Paranormal Activity
Before we watched this movie, my husband told me that this is a true story and the actors were the real person behind it. I didn’t checked it at that time if it were true. Then we watched the movie and somehow, I felt that some of the scenes …

All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Movie The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970)
The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970) (aka Night of Walpurgis and Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman)
Three cheers to Anchor Bay for releasing the most complete version of this Paul Naschy werewolf classic! It is a huge step up over the rotten, heavily edited VHS version BLOOD MOON that was released twenty …
‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ Movie
I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …
Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns
With his last film “Why Did I get Married,” doing so well, many people expected Tyler Perry’s film new film “Meet the Browns,” to be a disappointment. The film however is anything but a disappointment and continues Perry’s streak of solid films.
Meet the Browns stars Angela …

The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
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 …

Movie The Bad Seed

Yeh Hai Jalwa (movie), 2002
Yeh Hai Jalwa, a stupid movie indeed but nice to watch at home. This film released in 2002. I watched it at home on TV. The director of the film is David Dhawan. As it is David Dhawan film it has to be stupid but mindlessly entertaining too. The …
A Few Good Men
Another smashing performance from Jack Nicholson, whether he plays a good or bad character, he is always lovable. This courtroom drama is intense. Definitely a thinking persons movie. A drama worth the time and money spent. The staring roles with adequately placed and they pulled off a magnificent performance. …

Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
Illegal Tender (R, 2007) movie

The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Hostel horror movie
Hostel is a notable entry in the “torture porn” horror genre. This film, along with Saw, in a sense CREATED the “torture porn” genre, a genre that is most notable for having extreme blood and gore. Hostel, however, is not just dumb blood and gore. It is actually a …
The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
Into the Wild
I watched Into the Wild yesterday. I think most or part of the plot story that is in this story is based on true events. Sean Peen excels this time and this is a very good movie which leads you to think long after the movie’s finished. …

This is yet another comedy from the Happy Madison production line and is much typical with the plot line we come to expect from these films! Definitely not for the younger viewers and contains 100% adult material!! The movie stars Seth Rogan and James Franco who do an average …
