Little Black Book movie
Little Black Book is a romantic comedy movie with a little bit drama in it. The movie was not a successful movie but I found it a so-so movie. It is not a great movie but at the same time, it is not a bad movie either. The movie …
Anthony Hemmingway’s Red Tails movie
My husband and I both love movies that are based partly on historical events so when we saw the advertisement for Red Tails on Red Box we decided that we would rent it as a fun movie for the two of us. We only paid $1.20 to rent the …

The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992 Film)

Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder movie
Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder was the second movie made with these characters. As a sleuthing private eye concept, it really wasn’t bad. I saw that because like the first movie, I didn’t have the urge to change the channel. It was an okay backdrop …
Patriot Games movie
I actually heard about the novel before I saw the movie some years ago since the novel was one of a number of books by the author Tom Clancy in my aunt’s bookcase. I can’t remember watching the movie Patriot Games when I did not have cable televisoion; but …
Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …
Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
Carnage comedy movie
“Carnage” is a 2011 comedy, arthouse type film that is actually based off of a play. I saw the trailer at my local independent films theater, and it definitely looked like something that interested me. After watching it last night, I must say, I was not disappointed! It may …
A Bug’s Life
When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …

Ice Age movie
It is a movie that shows a brilliant work of animation combined with fantabulous story line. I love this film and have seen it a number of times. But every time I liked it equally well. The prehistoric creatures have been shown to come so alive on screen that …
Land of the Lost
I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.
Well, I watched it this past weekend and it turns out I was right.
This movie just wasn’t that good. Ferrell is supposed to be some sort of genius scientist …
Reptilicus movie
A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.

Tammy and the Bachelor
What Gidget is to the beach, Tammy is to rural America. Tammy and the Bachelor was the beginning of the Tammy franchise. Naturally, it’s the best of all of them, with Debbie Reynolds appearing as the charmingly honest and unsophisticated Tammy Tyree. Tammy and her grandfather …
Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …

Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …

Calendar Girl movie
I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early musical …

Fast and Furious Movie

The Legend of Zorro 2005 (movie)
As someone who loved the original, The Legend of Zorro was a hugely disappointing sequel. The scenery was still beautiful and I still liked the main actors, and the humor still made me laugh, but the magic was lost. The dignity of the first was abandoned in …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …

Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …

Stormbreaker the Movie
