Total Recall Movie (2012)
Walking into the movie theater, I was a bit nervous. I did not know what to expect and I really hoped that I would like the movie. The original Total Recall has become somewhat of a classic, at least in my circle of family and friends. Doing a remake …
Frankenweenie (movie)
Ever since I heard about the new movie coming out from one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton I knew I had to see it. Even before watching the trailer and even before knowing that the stop motion animation was a remake of one of his earliest movies, I …
Mean Girls
Mean Girls is one of Lindsay Lohan movie. It’s a drama comedy movie tells about the teenage life, high svhool, and friendship. I like kind a moviee like that because it can inspired me and give me a lesson about friendship because for me friendship is important.

The Stepfather Movie

The Brood movie
A crazy scientist is creating an army of freaks in this supernatural horror film by David Cronenberg, perhaps one of the most disgusting films I ever saw in this genre, but also one of the most overwhelming. The tension is slowly built up and culminates in a macabre final …
The Lion King
I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …
The Fearless Four
Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …
10 (movie)
The movie 10 catapulted Bo Derek into a household name. Bo is steamy hot in this film, although the acting leaves much to be desired. I like 10 because it’s cool to see an icon when she was young and very, very beautiful. Bo Derek can’t act worth a …
The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.
What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …
Godzilla: Final Wars
Godzilla: Final Wars is a Godzilla movie that is quite different in style compared to previous installments in the series. The movie seems to try and emulate popular Hollywood movies like the Matrix while taking a page out of a previous entry in the series, namely the movie Destroy …
Hoodwinked movie
When I first saw the previews for Hoodwinked on television I thought it would be a lousy film. But, after giving it a try, I now feel it is a movie I would be glad to add to my collection.
Giving “The Other Story” to the Little Red Riding Hood …
Troll (1986 Film)
The 1986 film “Troll” is in one word, eerie. Now, being used to the creepy and spooky bump in the night films of the modern day, movie lovers may wonder what a 1986 movie may hold in the eerie department compared to a movie of today. But it’s the …

Van Helsing

The movie “84 Charing Cross Road” is a charming, feel-good movie about a mail love affair between two people who have never met but through an extended exchange of letters learn to like, respect, and love each other, or at least the idea of each other. The literary roman begins …

Movie - “House”
Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …
Westworld Movie
Filmed in 1973, the movie makes a decent attempt of portraying the future where very realistic, human-like androids serve for entertainment purposes. Delos, hailed as “vacation of the future,” is an amusement park divided into three major areas: West World, Medieval World, and Roman World; each one is populated …
The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …
The Great Global Warming Swindle
The Great Global Warming Swindle was the right’s answer to Al Gore’s famous and popular documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” It goes against the grain of current thought on the warming of the earth and attacks some of the incorrect facts stated in Mr. Gore’s documentary.
Unlike Mr. Gore’s film, …
Once (2007 Musical Film)
I have seen plenty of musical films that take the generic route but not this one, the music is the real heart of this movie. The characters and the plot revolves around the idea of making good songs that will move the audiences without asking them.
I was moved watching this …

Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is hilarious. There’s really no other way to put it. It’s vulgar and borderline offensive at points but if you can get through that you’ll have a blast watching this movie.
It opens with some “advertisements” of the products from the various characters. Our theater …

Chronicles of Narnia, one big bore
When the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe came out, I remember wanting to go see it at the theater only to find it was always sold out. Now that I’ve seen it on DVD, I’m glad I didn’t waste my money.
I’m not really sure …
Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …
Middle Men (movie)
While I don’t remember seeing the movie “Middle Men” advertise on television, after reading someone’s post about it on a blog about movies I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t think that the movie was too bad at all in fact, and I thought it became …

Hook (movie)
Hook was a movie full of great moments and acting. I really thought that Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman did a great job of acting in this film. Dustin Hoffman played the infamous Captain Hook. He really looked and sounded like Hook. He was very funny and did a really …
13 Going on 30
One of my favorite movies is 13 Going on 30. This is such a cute, enjoyable, and romantic movie. It starts off with the character Jenna as a 13 year old, wishing that she was 30 years old, so she wouldn’t have to be made fun of …

Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …

Premonition
I was prepared to really hate this film. I had read reviews. And so many people (including critics) had nothing but weak things to say about this film. I think it’s because Sandra Bullock has never been taken seriously as an actress. Her quirky ways, …

Dominique movie
In 1978, there was a movie produced called Dominique. Unlike the bouncing tune made famous in The Singing Nun, this Dominique is deadly serious. In fact, it’s essentially a murder mystery.
Everything in this piece is very slow and deliberate. As a viewer, it’s easy to draw …

Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …
Jarhead movie
It’s not often that I will find a movie so horrible I have to turn it off before I even get halfway through it. This is especially true of war movies. However, Jarhead became one of those films.
When I read the description of the movie and saw the previews, …
