Movies Reviews
Underworld movie
I came to this movie with low expectations. I remembered reading unfavorable reviews of it when it was out in theaters. But I actually think it’s a good movie if you’re able to accept it for what it is - a fantasy movie about vampires and werewolves. …
The Game Plan
I would describe this recent release as nothing special but okay. While it is probably not going to become a beloved classic, this family-oriented movie is warm, clean, funny at times, and it tries to deliver a positive message. In a nutshell, a tough NFL football player too full …
Creature from the Black Lagoon
I absolutely love old black and white horror flicks and, because of this, think Creature from the Black Lagoon is an often-overlooked classic.
Filmed in 1954, the movie focuses on a group of scientists who are terrorized by a creature that is half-man, half fish and possibly the missing link …
Movie Martha Behind Bars
Martha Behind Bars is a Lifetime movie that tells the tale of Martha Stewart after her trial and subsequent sentence to five months in prison for the Wall Street scandal she was involved in. Now, there are things that I like about Martha Stewart and even more things that …

Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Nightmare of Elm Street movie (2010)
I recently went and saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I think most people know the plot line to nightmare on Elm Street, and for those few who don’t it’s a pretty simple slasher flick. A badly burned Psycho who was killed years ago by an angry mob …
Into the Blue (2005)
Director: John Stockwell. Featuring: Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Scott Caan and Ashley Scott.
Jared (Walker) and Sam (Alba) are a young couple in love (the kind of sweet couple that makes either go “aaw” if you’re a hopeless romantic or makes you want to puke if you’re not ) living …
Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …
“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …
Full Metal Jacket (1987) movie
Full Metal Jacket is incredible movie directed by Stanley Kubrick. I consider it one of the best movies of all time for a reason, and I will show you in this review.

The original release date for this movie was July 30, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and stars Julia Roberts …
Death in Love Movie (2008)
Death in love is not a usual kind of movie, which generally was not accepted well by neither the critics nor the public. And do not blame them one bit. Death in love in unconventional, not clearly structured, and the topics dealt within this movie are just all over …
Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003)
First off I’d like to say that this movie was wonderful! It’s a hilarious movie! Just the whole concept of the movie is hilarious, and David Spade was brilliant in it!
He goes in the movie so well. I would not be able to imagine anyone else playing the …
Sex Tape (comedy movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Sex Tape for the very first time, I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to be very good. Nevertheless, I was still interested in the premise surrounding the film, which was the idea of a married couple accidentally releasing a Sex …
Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …

Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Afraid of creepy crawling insects? Afraid of what’s around the next darl corner? Then, be afraid, be very afraid…as you are going to the jungle where all these things live. A group of highly skilled soldiers embark on …
Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
30 days if Night
My son and I have a tradition, we go to the movies at least once a week, it is out time together aways from everyone else. This week he talked me into going to see the moview 30 days of Night. This movie was a twist on the …
Iron Man Movie
Action movies aren’t always the types of movies I like to watch. But if my boyfriend can get me to sit down and watch them, then I will. Iron Man is in all those comics that he reads, so I wasn’t really interested in the movies because I really …
Cold Mountain (2003)
This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …
The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
Movie Fools Gold
Our Sunday afternoon was spent at the movies today. I like Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson This is a movie about a treasure hunt and it was quite good
Kate works as a stewart on a yacht owned by a multimillionaire, who agrees to stop in the Key …
84 Charing Cross Road
This gem of a movie is unfairly little known. Made in 1987, it stars Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft who tell a touching story of a 20-year-long friendship of two people who actually haven’t seen each other face to face.
Helene Hanff (Bancroft) is a struggling writer in New York …
Rambo, First Blood
I watched Rambo First Blood on video the other day and once again found myself enjoying a movie I’ve watched at least a dozen times before.
One of Sylvester Stallone’s best films ever, the movie is very well written and really makes you think about our Vietnam veterans and what …
I Am Legend
I must admit, I have never been much of a Will Smith fan…until this movie. With so few human interaction scenes (for most of the movie, he is with a dog), he pulled off the lonely, depressed person very well. The storyline is amazing and, at the …
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 …
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Very curious indeed!
I had high hopes for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Firstly Brad Pitt was in it (how could it possibly be anything but great) and secondly it has been nominated for so many awards that I was really looking forward to seeing it. Unfortunately, although I …
Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …

Vantage Point
I’m a big fan of political thrillers; as long as they are fast paced and make you think while entertaining you.
The movie Vantage Point has some of the makings of a great movie but takes things a bit too far in terms of trying to do too much.
The plot …
Grease
At the time of its release, many critics were apt to complain about the casting of Grease. They thought that the ages of the actors, playing much younger characters, was a hindrance and that the film would suffer. The huge box office that this fun and extremely lovable film …
I Do (But I Don’t) movie
The best words that describe the movie I Do (But I Don’t) is that it is a similar version of Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey movie The Wedding Planner. I believe that in comparision I Do (But I Don’t), although it has a great interpreation from the main actors, …
Half-Light Demi Moore
I am a sucker for a good mystery. This movie fell into this category. I enjoyed watching it so much. It constantly kept me guessing and wondering what was going to happen next. I hate watching movies that are so boring and extremely predictable. Demi Moore did an excellent …
Coraline movie
Have you ever wanted to leave your world and then go into another? A world that is happier. If so Coraline is the movie for you.
This movie is probably the most visually stunning movies I have seen all summer. Though I will admit the plot did take a while …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …
Transformers movie
Transformers (2007) is an action movie by director Michael Bay and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, brief sexual humor, and language.
Transmormers is a movie based on the popular 80’s cartoon. The movie tells the story of a teenager named Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) who …
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer Movie
Are you just plain tired of the same old horror movies? Are you sick of the tiresome overkill of the once popular (for some stupid reason) ’shaky cam’ in horror movies? Are you wishing for films reminiscing of ‘Evil Dead’? Well look no further than ‘Jack …
Monsters Inc
Monsters Inc from Pixar is a delightful movie about an alternate universe where monsters are the citizens. What are monsters? Basically a race of colorful creatures, all unique and different, which inhabit a world very similar to our own. The main characters of the story are Sully (a large …
There Goes the Neighborhood movie

The Majestic
This movie has turned out to be un unexpected treat for me. I had never heard of it before when I picked up a DVD with it in our local library. I looked at the actors and saw Jim Carrey is in the movie; I thought he’d be making …
Columbo: Murder in Malibu movie
Directed by Walter Grauman (had to mention that because I met him once), Columbo: Murder in Malibu was one of the 1990 Columbo movies. This one featured Andrew Stevens as the two-timing Wayne Jennings. He’s loved by the ladies, but he’s not really a nice guy.
Janet Margolin …
This Is Spinal Tap
This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …
The Help (movie)
One of the best drama movies I remember watching in the early part of 2012 was the movie named “The Help”. I had expected it to be very good because of the actors that were involved in its making, but I never thought that it would be one of …
Yun Hota To Kya Hota (movie) July, 2006
The title Yun Hota To Kya Hota means in English What If? The director the movie is asking the question What If this would have happened or this would have happened. Well the movie released on 21st July, 2006. This film is the first directorial venture of Naseerunddin Shah. …
Hide and Seek (2005)
Dakota Fanning is one of the best young actors today, and I just fall in love with her over and over again when I watch her movies. One of the best ones I have seen her in is “Hide and Seek,” which also stars Robert De Niro. This film …
