Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans is in my opinion the second greatest football movie ever made after Brian’s Song. Sure, the movie is a bit predictable but that is the case for any film based on a true story. Not that big a deal in my opinion. I …

Are We Done Yet? (2007)
If ever a sequel was never to be made, it was this one, sometimes they just need to let it go and let the original do the work for them. In this movie, it picks up from where the original left off, Nick is now married to Suzanne and …
Solomon and Sheba movie
It’s amazing how many old films I’ve seen lately, including this movie, Solomon and Sheba. Actually, I want I think about most is that my shepherd-collie was named after Solomon by my sister, so when I cam across this movie, I decided to give it a watch. …
Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
Kill Bill Part 1 Starring Uma Thurman
I was bored today and so I decided to watch a DVD. I thought I should watch and action film. I’ve never seen Uma Thurman in an action film except in that Batman Movie Series. So, I finally decided to watch Kill Bill part 1.
I forgot the names of …
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 …

Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
Jeepers Creepers
I think Jeepers Creepers sucked. This movie was so cheesy and horrible. I mean I was laughing the whole time. The whole concept of the story was not even scary. I mean the idea for the monster comes from an old song. The song goes “jeeepers creepers where’d you get …
Movie: The Last Song
I’m not really sure how the movie The Last Song got on my Netflix list but it ended up coming in the mail the other day. Personally, I think my wife must have added it because, while I don’t dislike Miley Cyrus, the movie sounded a heck of a …
The Bridges of Madison County
The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.
I remember the first time I saw this movie. I felt mislead by the tough guy of all times, Clint Eastwood. How could he betray me by acting out a love story with …
GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
I don’t know why the critics are always so picky about summer blockbusters like GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. They love to criticize these movies to death, and they don’t even realize that these movies are based on Hasbro toys! Wake up, critics, we don’t watch these kinds …
The Whole Ten Yards movie
The movie “The Whole Ten Yards” is actually the sequel to the movie “The Whole Nine Yards” which was released in the year 2000. I didn’t hear of this sequel though until about two or three years ago when I saw it being broadcast on a cable television channel. …
Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Short Cuts movie
Short Cuts is a film by Robert Altman that tells a complex story including several different people. These people’s lives are connected in some way, which they audience are unaware for most of the film. It’s very similar to the later film Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. I don’t …
Snow Globe
Normally, I dread watching Christmas movies. They rarely offer anything new and are so full of cliches, you can pretty much predict what will happen next.
Tonight, I got to watch a Christmas movie that I actually enjoyed.
ABC Family’s movie, Snow Globe, is a Christmas movie that is so original, …
Last Night film
Director Don McKellar brings us a thought provoking, powerful and at times, humorous vision of the last day on earth.
It’s an unusual take on the apocalypse, opting instead to show the very real human tragedy behind the impending disaster. Some sit alone with their own thoughts, others band together …
Day of the Dead (2008)
This not quite-a-remake of George Romero’s classic zombie film is an odd creature. While it tries its hardest to be its own entity, any daring strides toward individuality are often done away with as the film pulls back for the odd, hollow reference back to the original it’s based …
Turistas (UR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie because there are just so many slasher films out there where the “teen/college” kids get offed one by one. The difference that sets this film apart is the fact that the filming and action seem more realistic than …

Sunshine Cleaning
I love the movie poster of Sunshine Cleaning. It is I believe the pictures of Emily Blunt and Amy Adams, with their cleaning utensils. Watched this with my girl mates and 5 of us went. 3 of us decided that the movie was quite a boring watch …

Daniel Craig’s take on James Bond
Right when I had gotten used to Pierce Brosnan as Bond they took him away from me. This after they took away Timothy Dalton, who I thought brilliant, after a mere two films. Even though I disliked many of the Brosnan Bond films, I loved Goldeneye and even found …

Movie: Freedom Writers (2007)
“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …

Odd Couple II
I am reviewing the movie, Odd Couple II, which was released in 1998. It stars Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. How can you not like a movie with these two in it? These two were absolute comedic geniuses, and worked best when they were together! Matthau and Lemmon …
Holiday In The Sun- Mary Kate and Ashley
When Mary Kate and Ashley were in there movie making days, I loved there movies! I always admired how they centered around traveling around the world for various reasons and just having a good time. I watched these a lot when I was younger, I recented really wanted to …

Twilight
Everyone is so crazy about the book “Twilight”, well I personally haven’t read much about the book, but I did watch the movie a few weeks ago. The truth of the matter is, I think the movie is not as good as the book, this is because the story …
Happenstance (R, 2000) movie
When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …

Ever since I first saw this movie being advertised to be released in theaters, I knew that without a doubt it was going to be another one of those hilarious college movies. Therefore, I made plans to go and see it, but was unable to carry them out so …
Ghost of the Abyss
What type of movie/documentary is this! It was more like watching a selfish rich man and his friends having fun playing around a classic old ship. I loved the Titanic and studied it from 5th grade on. For this film to come in and mock all the scientist like …
Fantastic Four (2015)-Movie
The first Fantastic Four was released in 2005, and it was successful. Surprisingly, after 10 years, creators decided to reboot the series. May be because its in fashion these days, sequels, prequels, remakes everything is rocking the box office. Biggest example is Jurassic World which holds the record of biggest …
Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie
I have been able to see almost every new movie being shown in cinemas right now because of the 1 year off I have gifted myself. And so far, I will rate Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) as the most promising in terms of acting, story, excitement, and well, …
Movie Underworld
I like to watch the movie “Underworld” in which the Lycans(werewolves) and Vampires are at war.
In this movie Celine played very well by Kate Beckinsale is trying to find out why the Lycans and Vampires are trying to kill a human played by Scott Speedman.
As …
Epic (movie)
One of the animated movies that I watched fairly recently was Epic. I must have seen the trailer advertise a million and one times and not show any interest in seeing it, before I finally yielded one day after one of my family members got the blu-ray version and …

Bubba Hotep movie
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Although I’ve seen my share of horror movies in my lifetime, I am not exactly a big fan of the genre. That said, Bubba Hotep is a great movie, and one that any horror or comedy fan should see.
The …
Disney’s Lady and The Tramp
Lady and The Tramp in the tamp is a timeless Disney classic. This movie will touch the hearts of families everywhere. I really loved watching this movie as a small child. I had such a great time watching it and I even remembered some of the lines from the movie. …
Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].
At the outset I will admit that I have never been a Jim Carrey fan, and my favorite version of Christmas Carol will forever be the …
The Greatest Show on Earth movie
This is the everyday life among some individuals in a circus companionship. The basic idea is the same as Fellini’s La Strada or Bergman’s Sawdust & Tinsel. The Greatest Show on Earth was directed by the legendary silent filmmaker Cecil B. Demille (during his sound period however) and is …
Enough Movie
This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …
