Religulous documentary
This is an excellent documentary - not only is it a must see but it is a must buy for your video library. I would warn though, for people who are religious - a lot of content may be viewed as offensive. In the documentary Bill Maher …
Memoirs of a Geisha Movie
Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …

CUT BACK: facing ageism - Documentary by Patricia Sahertian
I just finished watching Cut Back and I have to say I was impressed. The documentary basically deals with the real life issues people face when they are downsized and need to look for a job at 50. There were a couple of really good stories in …

Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid
“Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” is absolutely one of most clever and hilarious movies I have ever watched. It Stars Steve Martin as private detective Rigby Reardon, hired by Juliet Forrest (Rachel Ward), the daughter of a cheesemaker , believed killed in an automobile crash. It’s clear right …
Becoming Jane
Becoming Jane is a movie about Jane Austen, the author of six deep and thoughtful romance novels that have all been made into movies, most of them more than once. The movie cannot be really called Jane’s biography, although there are some historical names mentioned. It so happens that …

Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
What about Bob?
I really liked the movie What about Bob?. I think Bill Murray was very funny as the character of Bob. Bob is a guy who has mental problems and has to go see a shrink. He also is very paranoid and scared of everything. I think it’s very funny …
African Cats 2011 Disneynature Movie
Disneynature. When I first heard about the addition to the Disney name, I was unsure of it. Yet after seeing African Cats which was released in 2011, I fell in love with the studio. I couldn’t wait to see the other documentaries that were made under the studio’s name. …
Movie The Pursuit of Happiness
When I first saw previews to the Pursuit of Happiness, I figured it was going to be a tear jerker but would ultimately be a boring film. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …
The Prestige
The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians. The Illusionist was a love story. The Prestige is a story of rivalry and revenge. The Prestige is decidedly darker, stepping down into the supernatural, …
Movie: Airplane II
I had a longer lunch yesterday than usual and ended up being able to watch the movie Airplane II: The Sequel.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so it was almost as though I was seeing it for the first time. And, after seeing it, I …
Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season
I have a complete first season DVD of The Wonder Woman. Yes, it is true and please do not laugh for I love this show pretty much while it was broadcast on the TV channels a couple years back.
It is especially fun to watch this DVD with my group …
Star Wars episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Out of the three original films, many cite this as the weakest of the bunch. They say that this was the beginning of the end for the Star Wars franchise.
This is for one reason, and one reason only, the Ewoks. I hate the Ewoks too. They …
Movie Notting Hill
This is a story about a famous actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and a travel bookshop owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) who by chance met and fell in love. It seems impossible for them to be together because of their social status, but love found a way.
You would …
Three
Well, I will admit, that was a pretty good movie. When we decided to watch the film Three, I figured it would be like every other thriller I ever watched, with a few intense moments but a plot that was pretty easy to follow and would be too predictable.
But, …
Dead poet society movie
The movie Dead Poet Society was one of my favorite movie at all time. It’s also known to be other people’s favorite movie too. I think this one is a classic for me. I love it very much and don’t mind watching it over and over again. It’s starting …
Avatar film
Avatar(2009) is a post-apocalyptic action/adventure/SciFi/romance rated PG-13 for Adult Language, Adult Situations, and Violence…lots of Violence.
Not being a fan of James Cameron’s films (Titanic, the Terminator series, ect.), I went to see Avatar wondering whether it could possibly live up to the hype. Two hours and forty minutes (which …
The Ballad of Josie
Doris Day and Peter Graves star in The Ballad of Josie, a western more or less about a widowed woman who strives to keep her ranch going after the death of her husband. Though most of the town is against her, she perseveres, with the assistance and support, …
Signs Movie
I was flipping through my Netflix Instant Watch catalog the other night and came across the movie Signs and decided to watch it again.
I have seen a lot of movies about alien invasions. This is one of the few that manages to scare the crap out of me every …
The Parent Trap (remake)
I am very skeptical about remakes, and since the original The Parent Trap was one of my all time favorite family films, when I saw the remake arriving on the scene in 1998, I was concerned, big time. Happily, though, I found the remake to be delightful. It’s …
Paranoid Park (R, 2007)
I didn’t really know what to expect when I first saw this movie on Netflix. The premise was serious, and kind of scary. I don’t know what I would do if I were in a situation where I had accidentally killed someone while doing something that …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
Pearl Harbor Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time, it’s just a very classic movie that in my opinion, is second to the box-office hit Titanic, but I think the production is almost the same and it should be given much credit just like Titanic. Michael Bay did such a …
The Santa Claus-movie
The Santa Claus is a 1994 Christmas film starring Tim Allen.Tim Allen stars as a man named Scott Calvin. He is divorced from hsi wife and regularly visits his son Charlie.Charlie has a stepdad named Neil.During one visit with his son he reads to him a bedtime story.After …
Kungfu Panda
This is a terrible movie; I can’t stop laughing myself no matter how much I’ve watched this movie. The animation was too smooth and perfect that it’s really well-detailed for both the fun and the story plot. The sequences were flowing just right that I really like every motion. …
Movie: You’re in the Army Now
Since it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had an opportunity to watch a lot of military movies. One of them was the comedy “You’re in the Army Now.”
This movie, which starred Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante as a couple of sales people who wind up in …
Sky-High movie
If you are born in a super hero family and that too with the best super-dad and super-mom then expectation with you are very high! But what if you find yourself unable to identify any traits of super-power in yourself! That’s what the movie is based on! Will Stronghold …
The Wedding Date movie
I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …
Little Mermaid 2
One of my favorite cartoon movies from Disney is The Little Mermaid and when I heard that it has a part 2, I’m one of those who lined up in theaters just to watch it.
Little Mermaid 2 is another adventurous tale of our favorite mermaid, Ariel, but this …
The 6th Day (2000)
The 6th Day, directed by Roger Spottiswoode is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong action violence, brief strong language and some sensuality. The original release date was November 17, 2000 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Actin/Science Fiction/Thriller and …
Police Academy (movie)
I haven’t watched the unedited version (as in, actual movie not one edited for TV) of Police Academy in years. But, after watching it again last weekend, I have to say I now realize just how good it was.
Other movies have tried to put together an insane group of …
Oceans Movie
Recently the movie Oceans became available on Netflix instant queue and I immediately added it. I am a big fan of nature movies because they offer a glimpse of an extremely beautiful world that most of us hardly ever get to see to the extent that it deserves. Oceans …
Rave Theater
I love to go and watch a movie at the theater. We have a new theater that has not been built but a couple of years. I am very impressed with this movie theater, it is called the Rave Motion Theater. The seats are very comfortable and designed so …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Enchanted
I love the movie show Enchanted extremely! It is fabulous and I am going to purchase the DVD one of these days. Few months back when this movie was firstly released, I was already excitingly anticipating it.
The story is very unique actually. It started out …
Juno- the movie
Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …
Extraordinary Measures Movie (2011)
The movie Extraordinary Measures, directed by Tom Vaughn is really a fantastic and engaging film. I was looking for a movie to watch this last weekend, it took me a while to find it, but it was worth it. It is not mentioned in the title, but the movie …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This past weekend I went to see “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. I have always loved the Indiana Jones movies, own the first three on DVD. I went into the theater expecting something spectacular and I was not disappointed. For being a two-hour movie, it …
Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …
Beowulf movie
I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …
Moviez
I think that Shakespeare was the one to say that never a borrower or lender be. This is probably wise advice I have found out myself when I have lent out a few items. They have mainly been movies and the most sorely lost, recently, was Farscape Vol. 1 …
The Sixth Senses (1999)
The Sixth Sense (1999) is a suspense film by M. Night Shymalan and is rated PG-13 by the MPAA
The Sixth Sense is the story of Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruse Willis), a child psychologist that is now haunted by the sudden reappearance and suicide of a former patient who blames …
AVATAR: The Movie (by James Cameron)
I’ve just watched it last night and up until I wrote this review I still can’t remove all of those stunning scenes from my mind and my brain. The movie was beyond my imagination; Cameron has succeeded to combine both the reality and fantasy world, he had created “another” …
Eden Lake - (starring Kelly Reilly)
Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
