Crazy Love (2007)
This movie-like documentary story of the crazy love sensational between Linda Riss and Burt Pugach, is still well known up to this date. My parents know about it, my siblings and now me. The summer of 1959, this horrific incident took the nation by storm with all …
Carol (2015 Film)
I have been an avid follower of the Oscars’ race since 2013, when I was rooting for Gravity (then my favorite film of the year) to win the Best Picture (which would have been the first for a sci-fi film). And since then, I followed and watched all the films …
Cinderella Man movie
For years, when I thought of boxing movies, I always put Rocky on top of the list. However, after seeing Cinderella Man, there is a new #1.
Based on the real life story of Jim Braddock, the movie focused on the Great Depression and how one man’s return to glory …
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I” (2011 Film)
Ever since Harry Potter books first touched bookstores, people across the world have been falling in love with the magical world that the creator of the book, J.K Rowling has created. Once these novels started hitting the big screen, it was almost impossible to escape the mass madness of …
Domino movie (2005)
(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …
Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Snakes on a Plane… The title pretty much sums it up: that’s what the movie is about, snakes on a plane biting and killing people. There is no point, no deeper meaning, just that. Of course, there is some basic plot, explaining how hundreds of snakes got on an …
Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …
Gidget Gets Married
Finally grown up, Gidget Gets Married. It had to happen sometime, and it was just time to let Gidget and Moondoggie get together for real. Monie Ellis inherited the Gidget role for this movie from 1972. She’s good, but of all the Gidgets in all of …
Mr. Destiny
My favorite comedy of all times is Mr. Destiny. It is about a guy who wonders what would have happened if he hit a baseball back in high school and then one day he finds out. It was a bad day when his car broke down in front …
Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
A League of their Own movie
I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989 movie)
I first saw “The Fabulous Baker Boys” about twenty years ago, but I still catch parts of it now when it shows up on one of the cable channels. The movie is a straightforward drama about brothers Frank and Jack Baker, portrayed by real-life brothers Beau and Jeff Bridges. …
Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010 film)
With all the campaigns on the internet and coverage from the press, it was impossible to escape the urge to watch the film. It’s awards season and anyone ignorant not to know what “Black Swan” is must be living in a different planet. I didn’t think this …
Sherek The Third
Sherek does’nt want to wear his father in laws’s crown, so in order to avoid becoming king of Far,Far away, he leads a rebellion to install an alternative. The movie is about 95 minutes long, ad to that some 15 minutes of other movies preview. I like the …
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 …
Ninth Gate movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Ninth Gate, which was released in 2000. Johnny Depp stars as Dean Corso, who is a rare book collector. He has been given the assignment to find the remaining copy of “The Nine Gates.” These volumes evidently have the power …
Jupiter Ascending (Science Fiction Fantasy Movie)
After watching The Matrix Trilogy multiple times, I found myself looking forward to future projects from the filmmaking team Lana Wachowski who was formerly Laurence “Larry” Wachowski; and her brother Andy Wachowski. Therefore, I guess like many other people I automatically assumed that it was going to be very …
Private Buckaroo movie
Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …
The Outer Limits : “Second Soul” episode
I rented the Outer Limits : Death and Beyond series because I’m truly a creepy person. I’ve always loved the Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside. So, I thought that this would be a natural DVD choice for someone like me. Boy was I …
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 …

Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
Film Up
This is an animated movie by Disney/Pixar. It is 90 minutes long. It is rated PG.
I have to say it is the most wonderful cartoon movie I’ve seen in a very long time. It is about an old man who decides that it is never too late to pursue …

Rush Hour 3
It lives up to the name of rush hour and rush hour 2. If you watched the first two and liked them you will like this one. It’s a great comedy. They are both hilarious in the movie yet once again. It’s also not just a couple of funny …
Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …
Live and let die movie
In the first James Bond film with Roger Moore as the popular british agent he is given the mission to investigate some mysterious murders and is finally lead to the evil diplomat Katanga. I have to admit I found this film rather boring for a Bond film. There are …
The Host, movie
Whoever thought having the protagonist of a movie spend most of her time talking inside her own head for the better part of 2 hours and get away with it, was painstakingly wrong.
In The Host, another Stephenie Meyer adaptation for the big screen, we start out with Saoirse Ronan …
Elsewhere movie
We were watching a movie yesterday afternoon I hadn’t heard of before; Elsewhere. It turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The movie centered around two best friends in high school. One is a girl scout the other one has a reputation; helped by a web site of her …
The Last Holiday Movie
The Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah was probably one of the most wonderful and uplifting movies that I have ever seen. I actually borrowed this movie from my local library. I like Queen Latifah so I thought this movie would be interesting and I have been in love with …
Flintstones on the Rocks
I didn’t remember that this movie existed until recently when I found an old DVD of it at my cousin’s house and decided to watch it again so maybe I could write a review on it. It came out in my earlier years in high school which was about …
Delta Farce
This movie wasn’t all that good. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie but nothing was really funny. Nothing in the film made me laugh. Overall it was alright but I didn’t really like it. I didn’t care for it. I wouldn’t recommend it to hardly …

Mr Magoo’s Christmas Carol
With Quincy Magoo, you either love him, or you hate him. I happen to love the old guy, voiced by Jim Backus, and his version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol stands to me as one of my all-time favorite holiday classics.
Set within a Broadway stage presentation, complete with …
The Empire Strikes Back movie
As I said in my Star Wars review, I’ve only seen the original three movies and I loved them. They made a complete package for me. In my heart, I think of this movie as The Empire Strikes Back and not as Star Wars: Episode V - …
The Amityville Horror

The movie is believed to be based on a true story and there is nothing not terrifying about a thought out haunted house. This family moves in, suffer for 28 days …

STRIPES Comedy
I have reached that age where a lot of the movies I thought were fantastic when I was younger kids today haven’t even heard of. STRIPES, a 1981 Columbia Pictures release staring Bill Murray, is one of those. If you haven’t seen it, you most definitely should.
This …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I liked the animated versions of the Chipmunks movies past gone, and even if they air today we can all find some joy watching Alvin get his brother into serious trouble, but this new creation is just not cutting it for me, I saw this movie on HBO over …
