Caramel film
A friend recommended Caramel to me, and I am so glad to have followed up and finally watched it. The film was both funny and touching, and I liked how the characters were so incredibly believable. I really felt like I could relate to parts of their …
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Fockers is crazy, wild and hilariously funny! I could never summarize this movie enough. It has a very superb cast and I really must praise the Director and everyone making this movie because it has made me so happy watching it each time. The …
Escape to Witch Mountain movie
Disney’s 1975 film, Escape to Witch Mountain, is a delight even now, decades later, as I write this review. The cast is terrific, and the story definitely entertains. It’s done with traditional family style and adventure, and even more so, there was a lot of heart, and …
Celebrity movie
It took me quite a very long time to watch the movie celebrity since I have never been interested in the actor Woody Allen as I can remember trying to watch several of his films when I was a little girl and thinking all of them were excrutiatingly boring. …
The Transporter (2002) movie

The original release date was October 11, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Jason Statham …
127 Hours (movie)
One of the movies that I watched last month was “127 Hours”. Like many of the other movies that watched recently, I only heard about it after reading about it on a popular movie blog that I’ve been visiting since the beginning of this year.
The movie, starring …
Did You Hear About the Morgans? (Movie)
Hugh Grant is one of my favourite actors of all time, so I was looking forward to his latest movie, Did You Hear About the Morgan’s? to come out in DVD. I had heard lots of rather negative reviews about it, so I wasn’t expecting anything more than his …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …
Notes on a Scandal (2006)
This was an excellent drama starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, in roles that are quite different than anything else I have seen either of them in.
The two actresses play teachers at a British school. Barbara (Dench) is a closet lesbian, and Sheba (Blanchett) is having an affair with …
Candy Man
My wife loaded the movie Candy Man on our Netflix player about a month ago because she remembered watching it as a kid and she wanted me to watch it with her. We ended up waiting until the kids were in bed this past weekend to watch it because …
Keeping the Faith movie
As far as movies are concerned, I’m not really sure if Keeping the Faith is a good one or just slightly above average. I’m leaning toward the latter but feel Ben Stiller carries it a bit further than that. Without him, I don’t think this movie would be even …
Batman Begins Movie
This was Cillian Murphy’s breakout movie as Jonathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow and I think he did an amazing job here. He could do drama as well as action and he’s a newly-talented and famous actor for doing and completing this movie alone! Christian Bale portrayed Batman in this …
No Strings Attached movie
No Strings Attached is a romantic comedy featuring actress Natalie Portman and actor Ashton Kutcher. Kevin Kline and a few other well known actors and actresses are also in the film. This movie was released in January 2011.
I am an avid fan of both of the main stars in …
27 Dresses movie
There hasn’t been a lot of feel good movies that you can watch over and over again lately. When I saw 27 Dresses I was so excited because I finally found a newer movie that I could watch over and over if I so chose. The story line is …
Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I loved this movie because it showed that you can discipline with a heart. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson portrayed a great role model who cared about others. Despite the fact that these kids had major issues with the law and had been given up on, he decides to take …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Legend of Zorro movie
The sequel to the very popular adventure film from the late 90s. In this film, Zorro went and got himself a son who doesn’t know his identity but only that his father is Alejandro de la Vega. The rest of the plot is very similar to the first movie, …
Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
David Copperfield, 1999
This 1999 BBC movie is an excellent adaptation of “David Copperfield,” a novel that Charles Dickens referred to as his “favorite child” amongst his other works.
Packed with unforgettable Dickensian characters, this film tells the story of David, a boy born shortly after his father’s death. His mother Clara (Emilia …

New Moon film
I have to say, I know I am a massive geek for being excited as I was too see the fill New Moon. After I saw Twilight last year I had to read all the books which were really good, and I was so excited to see the next …
Evangelion:Death & Rebirth
A film based on the manga series called Evangelion. The story of this series is very, very complicated if you don’t know it well, and this film is definitely made for fans only, which is a shame I think because it has a lot of interesting qualities. The audience …
Get Smart
I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …

Little Monsters (1989 flim)
In 1989, a movie directed by Richard Greenberg came out called “Little Monsters”. Though I had not seen the movie until many years later, I still hold it as a nostalgic movie from my childhood that left me feeling inspired to open my imagination to the world around me. …
Battle Warrior Movie
Warning to all you Tony Jaa fans out there, don’t waste your time with this movie! I ended up making the mistake of buying this movie. The packaging of the 2 disc collector’s edition is pretty slick. It has Tony’s face on the front with his …
The Proposal movie
Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …
Doubt movie
In the face of progressive change, how much does compassion figure in long-established doctrine and discipline? This seems to be the question that is initially asked the audience upon watching “Doubt”, the film adaptation of the Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning period stage play by John Patrick Shanley, but as …
Good Luck Chuck
I just finished watching the ‘unrated’ version of the DVD for this movie, and I must say, it’s totally hilarious. The building up of the movie about Charlie Logan (Dane Cook) being hex by the girl that he refused to make out with when they were young until him …
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
The Lord Of The Rings movies
So after reading the books as many times as I have, of course I HAD to see the movies in theatres when they were released. Of course, I now own them all :D. The movies had amazing special effects, and excellent casting and costume staff. Each part was played …
Park (R, 2006) movie
I rented this unwittingly believing that this would be a quirky and fun little film. What surprised me more than anything was the movie’s ability to bore me to pieces within the first few minutes. I should have known that if Ricki Lake was in …
School for Scoundrels
Before watching SFS, I was absolutely thrilled that my two favorite actors, John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) and Billy Bob Thorton (Bad Santa), had finally come together to make a movie that was sure to be hilarious. And that’s just what it was. I was on the floor laughing after …
Breakdown movie
Introduction
Jeff Taylor’s wife Amy has been kidnapped. To go on top of that something isn’t right with many of the people Jeff encounters in the area. Its like there all in cahoots with one another. The people Jeff encounters are certainly not outgoing. Jeff is on his own to …
Robots Movie
This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …
American Gangster The Movie
American Gangster is a movie that I went to this last weekend and I spent $22 for me and my girlfriend to see this over hyped movie and I was very dissapointed in it. The movie stars Denzel and so I thought it would be good but I found …
BBC miniseries
This is one of those splendid BBC adaptations that is almost as good as the original novel. The novel in this case is a work by Anthony Trollope, who is one of my favorite novelists, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this movie.
The story is about a wealthy young …
Without A Clue Movie
This movie creates a funny twist to the famous Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson duo, with Dr. Watson being the mastermind and the genius and Holmes nothing but a fictional character created by him and represented by a hired actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine). While Kincaid gets all the …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
Fire in the Sky (1993)

Dragonball Evolution (The Movie)
Since 1980’s, I’ve always watched Japanese anime. Most of Japanese animes are really good. That’s my personal opinion though. One of the animated films that I always love watching is the Dragonball Z series. Sometime in the 90’s, there was an animated movie on this. But just this year, …
London - (starring Jessica Biel)
I watched London starring Jessica Biel the other day and it’s not really that bad a movie story. Chris Evans star too and in this DVD movie story that I watched, it’s basically about Chris Evans and he act as the character Syd. He is a guy that …
Bedtime Stories movie
I just watched the movie Bedtime Stories with my boyfriend. This movie was such a great funny family movie. This movie had Adam Sandler in it, which made it very watchable. It was about a janitor named Skeeter that could not move up in …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
