The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
I would have to say the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was a really good movie. When I first seen the movie I almost cried at how moving it was. It was like a real life situation and the struggles that normal people go through in life. The movie …

No Smoking Movie
I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …
Saw IV
Saw IV was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, and this time wasn’t produced by James Wan, but by Mark Burg and Oren Koules. The film was released like the others, just one year after the last around Halloween in 2007. The film plot is based on Jigsaw leaving messages …

Lucy Gallant
I adore Lucy Gallant. It’s a film about the Texas oil boom. Jane Wyatt plays the title role of Lucy Gallant, a woman running away from her old love and who ends up stranded right in the middle of oil country. She quickly meets the tall …
An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …

A zed and two noughts movie
After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account. He created some very impressive pieces of work through the remaining 80s that included the puzzling Drowning by numbers and the macabre The cook, the thief, his wife …
“Devil” Feature Film
This movie did what I love for suspense and horror films to do, it kept me guessing. I watch a lot of horror and while i was able to guess who the killer was based on how these movies work out it did make me second guess myself, …
The Reader Movie
I just watched the award-winning movie starring Kate Winslet “The Reader” and I enjoyed it very much because the whole movie was so in touch with the emotions. I have to admit, it made me cry a lot of times. Imagine being ashamed of yourself and trying to cover …
Fahrenheit 451 Movie
“Fahrenheit 451″ filmed in 1966 and directed by François Truffaut is one bad, boring movie. I am really sorry to say this, but it is. I had read Ray Bradbury’s book titled “Fahrenheit 451″ and I remember enjoying it, so when I saw the movie at our library I …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …
27 Dresses movie
The best way to describe “27 Dresses” is a similarity to Jennifer Lopez movie “The Wedding Planner” only much, much better. Interesting to know is that the actress, Judy Greer had supporting roles in both movies. Although it is a romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” is an entertaining movie addressed …
The Hurt Locker (2009) movie
Well after hearing some word that this movie was one of the best of 2009 I had to watch it for myself to see if the hype was true. I have to say they were not lying this movie was great.
I will not ruin the story but pretty …
Untraceable (R, 2008) movie
“Hostel”, “FearDotCom”, “The Ring”—If you’ve seen any of the following movies, then you will be more than prepared for this tale of psycho-twisted horrific suspense. At the helm of this mini-gore feast is Diane Lane, claiming the role of a slightly wizened FBI agent. She’s …
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane movie
The finnish director Renny Harlin is known to many as an action Hollywood director with an uneven career. This is one of his first films in Hollywood about the slight crazy private detective Ford Fairlane who is hired to find a so called groupie, and by that is drawn …
Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …
March of the Wooden Soldiers
I never really understood the fascination with Laurel and Hardy movies before; mostly because I never got an opportunity to watch them. It was a popular dual before I was even born and, let’s be honest, it’s not like it would be the type of movie I would look …
Alamo Draft House Austin TX
Where else in Austin, Texas can you watch a great movie and drink beer and eat pizza at the same time? The Alamo Draft House is the place to do it all! The Alamo Draft House is a favorite among Austinites simply because of the novelty of being able …
13 Going On 30 (2004)
Jennifer Garner stars in this 2004 movie and I love catching it over again in DVD as well. She plays this particular woman whom has ‘airs above her’ and she is certainly someone that is going to learn her lesson the most hardest way. That’s because she will …

The Princess and the Frog movie
I was absolutely enchanted by the opening of Disney’s 2009 production, The Princess and the Frog. The color, the animation, the music, and the transitions were terrific. We start by meeting Charlotte and Tiana and then we learn that the storyteller is Tiana’s mom. We watch …
Dickinson Eastglen 16 movie theater, Lee’s Summit, MO
As someone who loves to go to the movies, I am so disappointed in our local movie theater - Dickinson Eastglen 16. Over the past several years, the facility has fallen into a state of disrepair. Several of the faucets in the bathroom no longer work and …
Fool’s Gold Movie
When I saw this movie out it reminded me exactly of Into the Blue, but somehow funnier and really more comedic, mostly because Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were the main casts in this movie! The honorable and legendary Donald Sutherland is also here as Kate’s extremely rich employer …
Johnny English (2003)
Rowan Atkinson’s reputation as a comedy actor is still as good as ever. What I can say about this movie is that it’s got good casting. They got John Malkovich on board. His French accented English is ridiculous but I think that’s more like it when …
Cake Eaters movie
Ever since I’ve watched Twilight I’ve been a Kristen Stewart fan. So I decided to find some of her movies and I found this movie Cake Eaters.
The movie is set on a small town wherein the characters are loosely intertwined and how they’re confronting their past up to …

Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
The incredible hulk
The Incredible Hulk is the second movie in the Hulk series. It was released in 2008. This movie is based on the comic series character the hulk. This movie is a much watch for the people who have already been reading the hulk comics. However people who have never …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Movie Hidalgo
Hidalgo isn’t an oscar worth film nor does it do anything that spectacular, but this shouldn’t turn you away from this movie, especially if you enjoy adventure films. The story tells the story of a man and his horse and there adventure across the desert. The problem …
The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …

Barbie in the 12 Dancing princesses
‘Barbie in the12 Dancing Princesses’ is the cartoon I like best in series about Barbie. All Barbie cartoons are gently, peaceful and suitable for girls. They are like fairy tales with magnificient context. But the appearance of princes, pricesses, farm girls and poor people in Barbie stories isn’t like …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …

Carrie (2013 movie)
Ever since the original movie was released in nineteen seventy six, there seems to have been quite a few remakes of the movie “Carrie” as well as one or two spin offs from it. The one that I’ve decided to review though was the one that was released late …

Scream 4 movie

Flakes movie
I absolutely hated this movie. For one, I had never even heard of it until a friend brought the DVD over to my room. It had her favorite actress in it, so we thought we would watch it.
Well, I realize that she found this DVD in the …
Dark Knight
You know, i normally like Batman movies but I’m not sure the film Dark Knight was all it was hyped-up to be.
Like many people said, Heath Ledger does an outstanding job as the joker. There are times he’s so crazy in this film I think the role is being …
