The CNN Tribute America Remembers is a DVD that a friend of mine gave me shortly after 911 happened. My friend figured I would appreciate it because I was in the National Guard at the time. When 911 happened I had just gotten back from a three week trip …

The fairy tale line is about …

Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …

Since last night was New Years Eve and we didn’t have any plans to go out (we couldn’t find a sitter) we decided to stay home and watch a movie with our oldest daughter. Fortunately for us, we had the film How to Train Your Dragon.
This is a movie …

I don’t hear much about this movie, so I assume it didn’t get much attention when it was released and not many people know about it. In fact, I can remember when I first saw it being aired on a cable television movie channel, I wondered how come I …

While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …

The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …

“Double Indemnity” is one of my favorite film noir movies. The black and white classic was originally released in 1944 by Paramount. The 107 minute classic was filmed on sets and locations throughout the Los Angeles area. Taglines for movie are “It’s Love and Murder At First Sight” and …

I only hear about the movie “Gorgeous” recently. It is not to be confused with the American film “Drop Dead Gorgeous” though as this one was actually a Chinese Romance Comedy film that was released in the late nineties starring Jackie Chan. However, that does not mean that it …

The Rainmaker is a film based on the John Grisham novel also titled The Rainmaker. It is the tale of a lawyer fresh out of law school, Rudy Baylor(Matt Damon) is desperate for a job. He is forced to join one which is more based on ambulance chasing rather …

Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …

Nancy Drew books form part of my childhood memories and it goes without saying that I really looked forward to watch the film. In the end I was very disappointed!
The Nancy Drew I know from the books is a very nice, beautiful, charming person with lots of friends. Unfortunately …

I got this movie free as a gift. I was a bit weary about letting my children watch this movie because of the talking penguins. I am very happy though that I caved in and let them watch it.It is a very inspirational movie that the whole family can …

Underworld Evolution revisits the lady vampire that Kate Beckinsale plays in the film. Also, her half wereworlf, half vampire boyfriend who is like the superman of the dark underworld. This is one of the few sequels I’ve seen which I liked better than the original. I thought it was …

Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …

The Four 2 is a 2013 Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the sequel to 2012’s The Four.

After watching The Four, I decided to watch its sequels as well (there are 2 sequels to it). I wasn’t expecting much from this sequel though, …

I actually enjoyed this movie. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember it. I love Adam Sandler. In this movie he gets a remote and uses that remote to get ahead. There are some twists which I won’t give away. It is an enjoyable movie for …

Based on a Dean Koontz novel, Hideaway weaves the supernatural tale of what happens to one ordinary man when he returns to life after many minutes spent on the other side. It also shows the horrific repercusions of such a trip.
Hatch (Jeff Goldblum) is a nice guy, with a …

The eighties are definitely gone and not coming back, but some movie magic we got from that decade will live on forever. Among many classic movies that the eighties gave us was Big Trouble In Little China, an instant classic. Coming out in eighty-six, Big Trouble in Little China …

I think the Indians films will be giving hollywood a run for money in few years. Dhoom-2 is a very good film, except for the few minor cliches the film is a treat to watch. Hrithik Roahan rocks even in the negative role. The film is worth watching only …

Many people are familiar with the Ernest films. Each of them are themed differently but revolve around a loveable and child-like man who can be clumsy at times but becomes everyone’s friend and sometimes hero by the time the film is over. Not to mention he makes me laugh …

I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for Disney movies. They always have a way of dragging me back to my childhood to the happy times of being a kid without a care in the world.
Saving Mr. Banks is the real life approach to Mary Poppins. At first, when I heard …

I picked up a Veggietales DVD for my daughter that I thought would keep her occupied for about 45 minutes. It turns out it was a pretty decent, full-length disk that kept her occupied for more than an hour.
Silly Thing Called Love is a great Veggietales disk that uses …

I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …

I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say. I didn’t expect much, and therefore wasn’t very disappointed. Keira Knightley is cute (perhaps a little too cute for Elizabeth) and pretty …

“Lucky Numbers” is the comedy that must have give the actor, John Travolta a lot of nightmares because unfortunately he got a Razzie Award for his interpretation of Russ Richard. I must admit that John Travolta interpretation lacks that special magic, however it was very much unfair to hand …

What’s comfortable with the franchise in cinema is that the viewer knows what he is buying, what he expects and what he will get because the label matches the content . The audience has the right to like or not to like only the first film. Each subsequent new …

One of the things I like the best about Dead Like Me: Ghost Story is the couple who wants to buy the Lass house. I really like them, especially the husband. He seems to have a unique ability to talk to Reggie, who opens up to him …

I loved the movie “The Pianist” (2006). The Roman Polanski movie three Oscars and probably deserved more. The movie tells the story of real-life Polish Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew, who lived in Warsaw before, during, and after World War II. I found the movie believable and touching without …

We ended up having our family movie night Friday and watched the film Up.
I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy because the plot seemed a bit too simple. But, it ended up being a very funny movie.
The first few minutes of the film are somewhat …

I was really stuck watching this movie. Its a real life story of how the Black Americans fought their way to be able to have the same rights as that of the White Americans. I love seeing this movie since its very informative. Denzel Washington is one of my …

It’s a martial-art action movie. Fantastic thai martial-art show, and just an average action film.
Honestly, everything is common. Standard story, nothing special on the effects, just an acceptable filming quality and not much of an acting. Even one of my friend made a joke after watching this movie. He …

I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …

I have never gotten good customer service at this Canton movie theater. On my birthday, I was directed toward the wrong theater and I ended up missing the movie I wanted to see. A couple ahead of us in line ordered tickets to a movie called “The American”, which …

Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl VHS
This wonderful adventure film is one of my all-time favorites because of its imagery, well-chosen cast, and exciting, fast-paced storyline. If you like stories of the pirate era or any type of high energy adventure, it just might become …

When I watched the 2002 crime drama “City of God” recently, I just found it hard to believe that a film so good had escaped my notice for so many years. The thing is it’s one of those films whose plot revolves around gangsters, life in the ghetto and gang …

I rented this movie as a fan of the horror genre and also an interest in Edgar Allen Poe. It turned out that I did not read the description as carefully as perhaps I should have, but what took place was entertaining none the less. This movie …
