Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …
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 …
Burn After Reading
Is it me? Or are all the movies for 2008 a flop? Now automatically I assume, you put Brad Pitt and George Clooney together on screen, and there should be magic………….sweet sweet magic…Boy was I in for a treat…….a very bad tasting treat after watching Burn After Reading…..maybe …

“It Happened One Night” is a 1934 black and white movie from Columbia Pictures lasting 105 minutes. The making of “It Happened One Night” is a story in itself. Both Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert were on loan to Columbia. Capra had four weeks to shoot the movie so …
A Mighty Heart
This movie, A Mighty Heart is played out by Angie, or known as Angelina Jolie. I have always respected her in the sense that she’s not afraid to play out roles that are scary or pretty threatening.
Like in A Mighty Heart, she plays the wife to a reporter, acted …
16 Blocks
I’m tired this morning. I had hoped to go to bed at a decent hour last night but then the movie 16 Blocks came on television. My wife and I started watching it and had intended to turn it off early; figuring it would be on again another day. …
Deep Impact
I’m not really big into Science Fiction, but this movie rocks! I could never get sick of seeing it. In case you haven’t ever seen it, here’s the basic plot. It’s about an asteroid that has a course headed straight for Earth. The part I find most interesting about …

X-men Days of Future Past (2014 Film)
I’m not what you would call a super duper die hard fan of X-men comics, but I do enjoy the movies and have followed them since the very first one came out. I was excited for the newest movie in the X-men Days of Future Past, when viewing the trailers. …
Interview with the Vampire (the movie)
I absolutely love this movie! I remember when I was about 10 years old and I would watch it all the time in the dark at night. But I loved the acting. The language was fluid to me, like flowing water, and I hung onto the actors …

The Birds movie
The Birds is a movie about people on an island where the birds, for no reason, go wild and begin attacking everyone. The Birds starts off quite normally, with a beautiful young woman shopping at a pet store for Mynah birds. That is the irony of this film, and …
Dance Party, USA
This movie I watch with my girl friends. It really questions friendship between the 3 of us, and we were then stumped afterwards. I know that the 3 of us each questions ourselves as to what we think of one another, and whether we have dirty secrets …
Rec 2 Movie
This movie was better than the first one. There were downsides to it however. For instance, the camera shots were for the most part unoriginal. Could you do better than having a bloodied zombie-faced possessed person grab the camera and make faces? The blocking was …
Johnny Guitar movie
This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns. The storyline and narrative is daring and unusual for the time. Johnny Guitar was made in the 1950s …
Sliders Third Season DVD
Before I go into the show itself featured on this DVD collection, I have to say something about the packaging. The packaging for the first and second seasons DVD collection of Sliders was nothing to write home about, but at least it was serviceable. Sliders Third Season …
The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Film
I was not intending to write a review of this film, but I am afraid that I simply have to do that. I watched it tonight, and, I will put it out there right away: I have wasted a rather big amount of time. I do not want my …
The Sentinel (2006) movie
My dad got a dvd two pack and this is one of the movies in the pack so I decided I would watch it since I missed it in theaters and the plot seemed pretty appealing to me.
Pretty simple plot to go with. There is a bug within …
Frankenweenie (movie)
Ever since I heard about the new movie coming out from one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton I knew I had to see it. Even before watching the trailer and even before knowing that the stop motion animation was a remake of one of his earliest movies, I …
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …
Not another teen movie
Can you imagine watching a lot of scenes from various films in just one movie? Sounds impossible, however the director Joe Gallen managed to do just this in his original movie with the title “Not another teen movie”.

Ghost and Mrs Muir
I love movies, it is one of my favorite pasttimes. I like old movies also, some of them are so well done that they are truly classics. I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a 1947 movie entitled The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
The story …
Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …
Brother Bear (2003)
A coming of age story that focuses on the bond that is shared between family members and more importantly the bond between the brothers of that family is depicted in this animated movie from Disney Studios. Using animals to portray the story that even without a voice that is …
American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
BlockBuster Video in Westford MA
Blockbuster in Westford is a very good place to rent your movies at. I liked going to this particular blockbuster because of the neatness, size, customer service and the fact that the movie I always wanted to get was always in, no matter what.
When you pull into Blockbuster you …
National Security movie
I actually watched the movie “National Security” when I was in a bad mood and wanted to put a smile on my face and it did work out! Martin Lawrence and Steve Zahn acting abilities together with the plot of this movie full of interesting twist, made …
Drag Me to Hell
For a catchy title, I don’t really find this movie that scary at all. My boyfriend loves it though. Drag Me to Hell has its fair share of horror but I don’t think I enjoy the movie very much. The curse plot looks good in the beginning …
Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …

Three men and a baby
Three men and a baby is a very touching movie and it is very heart warming experience that one feels while watching the movie. The movie starts off like a guy movie with three guys and their stints and efforts. These three guys are bachelors and the journey starts …
“Full Metal Jacket” (1987 film)
Obviously, a review of ANY Stanley Kubrick movie is going to have the usual raves (visually stunning, technically masterful!) and the usual criticisms (the acting can feel a little…robotic at times, and there’s generally a certain bleak, emotionally distant view of the human condition). Those definitely apply to Kubrick’s …

How To Rob A Bank Movie
When I bought this movie from the DVD store I didn’t expect a lot from it. I didn’t know the actors, never heard about the director and never heard about this movie in any reviews I have ever read before. I decided to make this a bed time movie, …
Tropic Thunder movie
I sat down to watch Tropic Thunder last night with my wife with a high expectation. this was mainly due to the cast, the sheer number of big names in the movie guarenteed a high audience. Everyones favourite comedians were there and i wasnt disapointed.
It didnt give me the …

BUTTERFLY EFFECT MOVIE
How many of us have ever wondered, if we had made a different choice over what seemed a tiny thing, spontaneous things just done; would life be different for ourselves and, also, for others? I know I have. THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is ALL about how one man manages to …
Movie Election
Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …
The Babysitters (R, 2007)
I know that there are literally tons of movies out there in which a young, impressionable 9or not so impressionable) teen gets involved with a married husband and father. This movie puts a little spin on that typical story, with the young babysitter following through on her “talents” by …

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)
I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …
Madagascar (2005 movie)
Another one for the kids? Oh yes…another one for the kids. Central Zoo mega-stars four high profile animals, a Lion (Alex), a Zebra (Marty), a Hippo (Gloria) and a Giraffe Melman). It’s Marty’s birthday and he makes a wish to go to….”The Wild”. The others don’t pay him much …
Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …
The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
