Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surefr
I had not seen the previous part of this movie series, so I was hoping that I would not miss out on some related scenes. Thankfully this movie does not have much relevance to the previous movie. A person can watch this without having to watch the earlier part.
The …

Original Sin movie
British dramas aren’t the easiest for me to watch. I’ve tried off and on, but they have their cultural slant that this American reviewer often just doesn’t get. The biggest thing for me is still trying to understand the lingo and sometimes just the spoken words. …
Speak movie
I am reviewing the movie entitled SPEAK, which was based off of the award winning novel by Laurie Anderson. This is a movie you cannot miss. Kristen Stewart plays the role of Melinda, who has been deemed a social outcast after she called the police at a school …

The Village.
A couple years ago, my wife and I thought we would be smart and, rather than spending money renting movies, we would just buy a new movie every couple of weeks so it would be in our DVD collection.
That was until we bought the movie The Village.
This is one …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …
Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore
This documentary is characteristic of all of Michael Moore’s films-it is done in a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek style. If you like his movies, then you will love this one, because his style and subject matter are up to his usual standards. For me, he always manages to make me think …

Blade Trinity movie
Just when you think they could not do better than the original and the sequel…they came out with Trinity…BAD IDEA. It’s nice that they wanted to bring the first, the original vampire into the mix of things, but, they did a real terrible job with his portayal. Dracula (Drake) …

The X Files: I Want To Believe Movie
Just about 12 hours ago, I went to see the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie. I knew there was a lot of mixed reviews in regards to the movie, but I really wanted to see for myself as I am an X-Files fan at heart.

Space Camp
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the film Space Camp on one of our movie channels. I have to tell you, it was the first time in years I had seen the movie and it really isn’t as good as I remember it being.
I think …
P.S. I love you movie
This was a really good movie. Although it made me cry a lot during the movie. Some of the previews made it look like a funny movie and although it had a couple funny parts in it, it was more sad than anything. I cried almost throughout the whole …
Thunderball
How many James Bond movies are there now? Like five hundred, six hundred, seven thousand and seventy two? I know there are a whole lot, and probably a whole lot more to come. I admit, I haven’t seen very many James Bond movies. Some of the ones I have …
Surviving Desire movie
Inventive independent filmmaker Hal Hartley here gives us a story focused around lonely people who try their best not the appear lonely. A young girl who works at the local library falls in love with a young man who comes there to visit.
A rather simple story that doesn’t have …
Moulin Rouge
Moulin Rouge is one of my most favorite movies of all time and I teared while watching this. I don’t know why but there is something personal and touching about stories that have elements of forbidden love. This sweeping movie story reminds me a lot on Romeo and …

Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
Barefoot (2014 movie)
After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …
Ida (2013 Foreign Film)
Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …
Movie License to Wed
Although some may label this movie as a Mandy Moore movie; in reality this comedy is all about the actor, Robin Williams. I personally have a soft spot for Robin Williams because he is simply great in whatever he interprets. In this movie, we see him to interpret the …
Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …
Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen
When we first saw previews for the movie Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen, we thought it would be a somewhat funny movie. Turns out it was actually quite dull.
Unless you like seeing a teenaged Lindsay Lohan in a tight red dress, there really isn’t much value to this …
The Fast and the Furious 4
Today I just watch the new movie Fast and Furious 4 in theatre. It’s the sequel of the previous movie Fast and Furious 1,2, and 3. The story is not so different with the previous movie, it’s about catching the bud guy and always involved racing car on it.
In …

We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …
Pride and Prejudice
Having never been able to become very interested in the book for some reason or another, I somehow found myself enamored with the film version of Pride and Prejudice. The romance between Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) and Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfayden) is legendary, of course, but this film and …
Movie Four Brothers
For such a long time I had been meaning to watch Four Brothers. I didn’t get around to actually watching it a few years after it came out. At the time when it first came out I kept hearing people say how much of a good move it …
Terror Train movie
I had heard of the movie Terror Train before but didn’t think it was anything worth watching. After all, I am not a huge Jamie Lee Curtis fan, did not like the original Halloween movie and I knew this movie was produced as a result of the success of …
The Proposal (2009 movie)
I watched The Proposal in June 2009 with a couple of friends. Although it was not the movie I originally intended on watching, it was quite interesting and enjoyable. As a romantic comedy, I think that it was nearly flawless; the dull moments in the movie were far outweighed …

Netflix
We absolutely love our netflix subscribtion. Since having one it has saved us a bundle on renting movies. We like how quick and efficient their service is too. It’s the only service we ever use to rent movies anymore.
Netflix is an online movie rental service. This service far beats …
The Bloody Judge movie
I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Remember the hype surrounding the movie, I Know What You Did Last Summer when it was first released..? I remember watching this with my then boyfriend, whom is an ex now.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
When it comes to masterpieces on film, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange knows nearly no rival. While my personal experience with the movie did not come until just last year (the incessant raving from other viewers finally pushed me into the fray to give the film a watch), I’m …
Cindarella Man
I feel the need to review this movie because I find it to be the most underrated movie of all time. As you can probably tell, this is currently my favorite movie. I’m not going to write the normal kind of movie review. Instead, I am just going to …
Transformers
This is a really great movie and i gotta be honest i thought that it was going to suck big time, but to my surprise it had some amazing special effects, the story was very linear and the acting and editing was quite good. It had some bits with …
Duplex film starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore
I caught the tail end of this movie once on Comedy Central. I came in to see the main character in what I could’ve sworn was a Bennigan’s, but really turns out to be a generic bar, working to finish a novel that was due within the day. …
Lake Mungo movie
Lake Mungo is one of the AfterDark Horrorfest movies of 20–. I usually find these are better than the standard B horror movies so when they came out on DVD, I put the whole set on my Netflix list. This Australian movie was made as a “mockumentary” about …
