Sphere movie
A mystical space ship is discovered on the bottom of the ocean and a team of scientists goes down to find out how it got there. Strange things occur while down there and the scientists sense fear for no obvious reason. This film was incredibly well made half way …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Hotel Rwanda
I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …
‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ Movie
I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …
Lowes 20 & 287 Theatre
While we were in Arlington Texas, my son and I had to find a movie theater, there is just so much walking you can do and we just wanted to relax for the evening. We found a theater that was around twenty minutes from the Sheraton that we …
Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
Movie Eragon
When I first saw the movie “Eragon” being advertised to be released in theatres, I wanted to see it since I also like fantasy films and it looked like a fantasy movie which I might just love. However, since I had no one to see it with, I …
The Karate Kid Movie 2010
Ok, so I had watched this movie 2 times in the theater, and I would watch it again if given the chance! This movie runs for 2 hours, which I didn’t even notice as the time flew by for me. First, this movie is perfect for all ages, whether …
The Dark Knight Rises film
The Dark Knight Rises is a good film! A really good film! Sure, there are a few problems with it but nothing there that really ruins this masterpiece!
The only thing you need to be aware of is that there is less Batman than in the Dark Knight because it …
Patch Adams movie
I am a nurse and I love to watch movies that are inspirational and very much related to my chosen field of career. I really love this movie Patch Adams because I love the way he treated the children suffering from Cancer. I enjoyed watching every bit of this …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (fantasy drama movie)
Peter Jackson is one of my favourite directors. Also movies such as those in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit franchise are some of my favourites. Therefore it was definitely a given that I had to watch the last installment in the Hobbit movies, “The Hobbit: The Battle …
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. Biollante is a movie that I highly recommend to Godzilla fans or monster movies fans in general. Godzilla looks incredible in this movie. He actually looks real and very evil, and his original 1954 roar is used in this movie, which is very fitting and it sounds …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
Eyes without a face movie
A saw the Criterion Collection dvd of this visually breathtaking film a while ago. It was directed by Georges Franju, a french filmmaker working indepently from the new wave directors in the sixties. Eyes without a face is a horror-filled story about a plastic surgeon who kidnaps young girls, …

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D
The prequel Star Wars movies are some of the most hated pieces of fiction in the entire universe known to man. Do they deserve that hate? No. I must say, I never hated the prequels as much as everyone else. Keep in mind, this movie originally came out 2 …
Crash (2004)
Crash, directed by Paul Higgins is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language, sexual content and some violence. The original release date was May 6, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama and stars Sandra Bullock as Jean Cabot, …
Stephen King’s Rose Red
Watching a Stephen King movie or television show is always a little difficult. The man has a serious talent when it comes to spinning tales that keep the reader riveted and turning the pages. However when those tales hit the big or little screen there seems to …
The Quiet Ones (2014 Supernatural Horror Movie)
I was actually in the mood to watch a supernatural horror movie yesterday and I couldn’t believe my good luck when I saw a description for a movie on the cable guide that looked like it would be pretty good. I’d never watched a trailer for the movie “The Quiet …
Happily N’ever After DVD
We just bought this on DVD. It looked kind of funny, but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
George Carlin, Sigourney Weaver, Andy Dick, Freddie Prince Jr. and others lend their voices to the cast. Which, by the way, really was beautifully cast!
The animation …

Moonstruck (1987)
Moonstruck is a great romantic comedy starring Cher as an Italian American woman, named Loretta Castorini, who falls in love with her fiance’s brother, played by Nicolas Cage. I have never cared much for Cher’s music or singing voice, but I think she’s an excellent actress and I wish …
Rachel Getting Married (2008 film)
The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …
Take Shelter (2011 movie)
“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …
Movie on Kingdom of Heaven
There is a reason why I love watching movies that involved epic wars, adventure and of course, a talented director named Riddley Scott. One such movie is entitled Kingdom of Heaven, a story about the crusaders during the early 11th century. Though it is not a recent movie, I …

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is a really good movie. I really enjoy this movie because I have been a fan of the Ninja Turtles since it was a cartoon TV show. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 has some great martial arts moves and fights. I really liked the music …
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd (2003)
If you have never seen the original movie name Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, then you are going to be in for a treat as this movie is basically a prequel to that movie. This story tells the teenaged tale of how the two friends …
High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …
Ella Enchanted (movie)
Ella Enchanted is a ferry tale type of movie with some similarities to Cinderella. It reminds us that there is good and bad everywhere. That we have to find our inner power to solve some of the most difficult problems that we will face in our lives. That each …
The Life of Pi movie
I first heard the story of Pi from my teacher. He is a big fan of the book so when the movie came, he is promoting it to us. Out of curiosity, me and my friends watched it together. I never expected to like it for I am not …

Movie Legend
I am reviewing the movie called Legend. It stars Tom Cruise(Jack), Mia Sara(Lilly), and Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness.
The story is about good and evil competing against each other: a classic. A movie about a young girl’s innocence.
I think of this as a childrens’ movie but …
Disturbia movie
When I saw this film come out in theatres, I thought that it would be just like all the others out there. There are always those teen films with the requisite killer, and one of those teens ends up dying, etc. etc. But this movie was …
Just My Luck -Film 2006
The Just My Luck DVD ended up in my collection simply because I had seen the leading lady (Lindsay Lohan) in the Herbie Fully Loaded movie and I liked her style so wanted to see what she was like in something totally different.
Just My Luck is the story of …

Transformers Animated Series - Soundwave Action Figure
The Soundwave action figure in the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is not one of the better ones, but he does have some good features. He sells for between $10 and $12 and you can find him in most toy stores. He is pretty easy to transform, …
Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …

Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets
The second installment, like its predecessor, was done in the style of a whodunit mystery. Unlike the first one, where I felt this was done as a sense of stand alone, in case the movie flopped, this movie was done in that style because, more and more, the Harry …
It Follows (horror movie)
It Follows is a story about a monster that is sexually transmitted, and once you have him following you, he doesn’t stop until you’re dead or you transmit it to someone else. This movie is another fantastic addition to the horror genre, and is well recognized as being one of …
Fight Club: Movie
Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …
Star Wars movie
Quite honestly, I was a huge hold out to the entire Star Wars thing. The 1977 movie had been out for months, close to a year I believe, before I finally caved in and went to see it. By then, seats were plentiful. I must admit …
