Sixteen Candles (1984 Film)
Who cannot love a young Molly Ringwald as a fashion forward teenager who is trying to survive high school? I know that I can’t, and that is why it’s hard to not absolutely love the 1984 film “Sixteen Candles”. Not only is this movie funny, but it really does …
The Cat in the Hat
I have never read the book The Cat in the Hat. I have read the sequel to it. But, the original is one I just have never had available to me; either as a kid or as a parent.
So, when I watched the animated Cat in the Hat film …

Coyote Ugly (2000)
Female bartenders are the order of the day when you get yourself in gear to sit down and watch this movie. To enjoy it is just like the beverages that are served, it is an acquired taste and with this movie, it is best to watch it multiple times …
Little Red Riding Hood (1997)
One night, a few years back, I had a case of insomnia. I turned the TV on to the Sundance Channel only to find the short films playing. I was channel surfing and noticed Christina Ricci’s face in black and white. I knew it had to have been older …
Born Free
When I was little I used to hear my mother talk about a film she used to watch when she was little named Born Free. She made it sound so interesting I couldn’t help but be eager to see it, and some time after coincidentally I was able to …
Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …
Mr. & Mrs. Smith
This was on the television the other day and I have never seen it so I decided to watch it. Honestly it didn’t live up to it’s expectations. I wasn’t entertained or interested in the movie as much as I should have been. I became bored watching the movie. …
Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …

The Game Plan, directed by Andy Fickman is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for some mild thematic elements.

Movie Mobsters
Mobsters with Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, Richard Grieco, Costas Mandylor, and Anthony Quinn.
With this group of limited actors, I never gave this movie a chance. Perhaps I was wrong. The movie is based upon the early years of four soon to be infamous …
Bring It On
I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …
The Stepford Wives (2004)
Oh why didn’t I watch it earlier??? This movie was in my movie collection but I just didn’t watch it yet. I decided to pop it in the DVD player tonight and wow, what a movie. It kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands but the …
The Canterville Ghost (movie)
I’ve always been fairly fascinated with the actress Neve Campbell, especially after I saw her in movies such as the “Scream” franchise and “The Craft”. She seemed to be a familiar face in the late nineties to the early 2000s, and I know believe some of that had to …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …
The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)
The Santa Clause was a great film that I loved as a child and as an adult. And the sequal to this family friendly film titled, “The Santa Clause 2” which came out in 2002 was also just as mesmerizing. In this film, we watch as Santa Clause (Scott …
The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
All About Steve film
I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown movie
Columbo: Uneasy Lies the Crown has quite a few well known names in it, including several famous folks who play themselves. It’s a unique setup for the murder of the movie where the guilty party uses a poker game as part of his alibi, not that it works. …
In Her Shoes (2005 movie)
This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …
Volver movie
I love foreign films. I especially love foreign language films with subtitles. Weird, I know, but I love the feel of them and the sense that you are truly experiencing another culture through film. So, when I started watching Volver I had very high hopes. It’s obvious from the …
Repo: The Genetic Opera
This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …
“The Swimmer” movie
“The Swimmer” is a 1968 movie starring Burt Lancaster as the swimmer, Ned Merrill. Ned hasn’t been around recently though when the movie starts it isn’t clear where he’s been. However Ned doesn’t quite seem to be “quite right.” Ned appears unannounced at a friends house to swim in …
Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell is such a lovable movie that I really love to watch no matter how my friends label me as kiddish and all that. The voice of Tinker Bell was done by Mae Whitman and this storyline is quite charming, actually.
Tinker’s friends’ voice-overs are also awesome …

Sex and The City 2 (2010 movie)
A group of my friends and I went to see this movie last week. Some of my friends had already seen it but were looking forward to seeing it for the second time, so I figured I would enjoy it.
This movie was fun to watch. The characters were pretty …
House Of Wax Movie
The movie House of Wax was kind of disappointing, especially considering all the hype around it just because Paris Hilton was in it. It was really disappointing, as it almost kind of made you hope she could do something besides….well we all heard about the videos. Elisha Cuthbert and …

Goodfellas is a classic mafia film directed by Martin Scorsese, it was originally meant to be titled Wise Guy, the same title as the nonfiction book the film is based on written by Nicholas Pileggi. The film stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Ray Liotta. Liotta plays as …
Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …
Resident Evil Apocalypse movie
Resident Evil Apocalypse is the second phase of Andersson’s work, linked to the successful game title Resident Evil.
This sequel, which would have been completely different from the first one, has made a lot of changes, but it remains steryl in the story.
Andersson, in fact, complicates his work introducing the …
Underworld (2003)
When I first picked this movie up, I thought it sounded interesting as it was about a relationship between a vampire and a werewolf (supposedly the two were in love). However it disappointed me almost right away. The opening sequence of this film is nothing but mindless action and …
Quantum of Solace 007

Movie Shutter (2008)
I watched only half of the portion on the Thai horror version of Shutter and didn’t complete it because I got a bit bored. But the 2008 version of Shutter really got me out of my mind scared. I decided to give watching it a shot although I …
White Chicks (Movie)
This movie is entirely and totally hilarious! It features real-life brothers Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, Lochlyn Munro, Jennifer Carpenter, Busy Philipps, John Heard, Terry Crews, Brittany Daniel, Jessica Cauffiel, Eddie Velez, Maitland Ward, and Anne Dudek. The whole cast is crazy and when you …
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN DVD
I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …
Gravity (science fiction movie)
Gravity is one of those movies that I kept hearing from people that I had to see. I couldn’t really understand why either since I thought that the trailer didn’t really appeal to me much, and I’m not too fond of many of the movies that the actress Sandra Bullock …
Edmond (R, 2005)
Edmond is the type of movie that you watch when you really want to dive into something that will make you think. The premise of the film is quite simple. A married man with kids decides one day that he will leave his family behind. He …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …
The Pink Panther (2006)
When I first saw the movie “The Pink Panther” advertising to be released theatres, I didn’t show much interest in it. While a few of my friends were planning to go and see the movie in theatres, I didn’t want to because I had the impression that it was …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …
After Dark Thrillers dvd
Here is another dvd from my friend’s horror movie dvd collection. He likes old movies from the seventies mostly, and lent me this dvd which he said he was told had some good horror films on it. However, when I watched it I didn’t like the movies at all. …

Movie Waiting…
Don’t make my mistake and watch the movie “Waiting ” I don’t know why I actually bothered to spend two hours of my time watching a movie that did go any where! I should have stopped the movie the moment I saw Ryan Reynolds on the screen. I saw …

Madagascar movie
I really enjoyed this movie, even though it was for kids. It is nice that there are kids’ movies that adults can watch and even enjoy. The animation in this movie is great!
In this movie, a group of zoo animal friends are celebrating one friend’s birthday (a vain lion, …
Man Of Steel - 2013 Movie
The fondness of the mass audience for heroes and brave men have been known since antiquity, but few can compare with the potential embedded in Superman, which, like a phoenix, is again back on the big screen, despite the deafening cash failure of its last installment.
There were TV shows …
Beastmaster movie
Whenever I watch Beastmaster, I can understand why it’s a movie that has been shown on television as much as it has.
Marc Singer puts on a very good performance as Dar, a man who is seeks revenge against the evil priest who slaughtered his entire family at the beginning …
