Get Smart movie
For the past month or so I’ve seen previews on TV for the movie Get Smart. It didn’t look that great to me, I figured it may be worth getting on Netflix when it comes out on DVD, but that was all. Certainly not worth seeing in …
Movie: “Stardust” (2007)
“Stardust” is a sweeping family fantasy based on a book by Neil Gaiman and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. Although the plot was a bit confusing in places, I love this beautiful film; it’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and still enjoy.

NETFLIX
When my husband and I joined Netflix last month, we thought it was going to be great. We chose a plan in which we can rent unlimited movies per month, but we can only get two at a time. Well, we found out pretty quickly that this is how …
Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
Adventures in Babysitting
Adventures in Babysitting was a fun little movie directed by Chris Columbus that came out in the eighties. Elizabeth Shue plays the perfect combination of girl-next-door and blonde bombshell who every guy wants to call his girlfriend. Starring in the title role, Shue hams it up nicely as …
The Hoax
This movie, The Hoax, is actually more catered to people with political interest in a story. There are about 3 characters in this movie. Clifford Irving, Howard Hughes and President Nixon, and it is based on a true story.
This movie firstly revolves around Clifford Irving, a writer, …
The Truman Show
Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …
Brother’s Justice Movie (2010)

500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
Bonnie and Clyde (DVD Movie)
I call this my 1967 DVD classic movie and I never get tired of watching this endless times. Love both Bonnie and Clyde and if you are past 20 years of age and still don’t know who Bonnie and Clyde is, then you are really a geek, geez.
These 2 …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
Movie Funny Girl
I recently watch the movie Funny Girl, I have been a fan of Barbra Streisand since I was eight. I watched because I had never seen it before, which was shocking because I have seen a lot of Barbra Streisand movies.

The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
Happy Feet
I can’t help but watch animated movies with my kids, because they usually hide the remote control if they play something! Talk about manipulative kids! And so one day, I ended watching the animation “Happy Feet” with them. It’s a story of penguins of rare breed and species, losing …
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry Met Sally is one of the very successful and most loved romantic movies of all time. The movie starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as the lead actors is a very nice movie. I happened to watch it on cable few years ago and I loved it …
Star Trek 2009

Inception (movie)
Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies.

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …

The Ides of March Movie
After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …
Jawbreaker (1999) Movie
One of my favorite movies when I was younger was Jawbreaker. This movie shows a typical mean-girls’ group who went to great lengths to play a prank on their good friend. This came out in 1999 when I was still in college, so watching this with girlfriends was …
Movie The Holiday
I like this movie, not love, like. I watch this movie at the first place because of the casts in it, I mean, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, wow! This is a drama/comedy kind of movie. The plot is kind of interesting, about two women …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Down Periscope movie
When Down Periscope first came out, I thought Kelsey Grammar was a bad choice for the lead role. I was definitely wrong. This movie was great, I was laughing so hard throughout it hurt and I’ve never looked at the Navy the same way again.
The crew of the Stingray …
Halloween 2
My wife and I saw the first Halloween re-make when it came out and wanted to see the sequel to it. We got a chance to do that last night.

Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
Hot Pursuit (comedy movie)
Although I’d heard beforehand that the movie wasn’t very good, I was still determined to watch Hot Pursuit . At the time I’d wanted something fairly lightweight that I could enjoy without thinking too much. It turns out that while it was the type of movie I was looking for, …

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie
Is the newest Pirates Movie worth watching? A resounding yes! I saw it on the opening day. The Movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth installment of the Pirates Saga.
In my opinion, it was easily the best movie of all four. It had vampire mermaids, …
Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …
Exorcism of Emily Rose movie
A true story that is hard to believe by the people.
