The Shining movie
The Shining starring Jack Nicholson as Jack, the father, is my favorite The Shining movie. This classic blew everyone away in its time, and Stephen King’s book was brought to justice with The Shining movie. A man who has some issues and quirks takes his family to an old …
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a movie that stars Jack Nicholson at Murphy. Murphy is a patient in a mental institution. I have to tell you, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a very sad film. It is not the kind of movie you watch to …
Kick Ass Movie (2010)

The Man Who Wasn’t There movie
After almost ten years of films that didn’t speak to me the Coen brothers finally created something interesting again. The Man Who Wasn’t There is something of a homage to the old great noir films like The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon. In the center stands Billy Bob …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
The Guardian movie
This is a beautiful movie, and that may be a strange term to use when thinking about or describing the military. This movie focuses on the Coast Guard and a man’s sacrifice to save the lives of countless others, and the influence that he had on the people who …

Lucky Number Sleven
The Kansas City Shuffle. I would love to go up to a random man, waiting in a bus station, only to talk about the Kansas City Shuffle, as Bruce Willis did at the beginning of this wonderful movie. I enjoy every single movie that I’ve seen with Bruce Willis, …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and …
Oceans Twelve (2004) movie

Stargate SG-1 - Brief Candle
The “Brief Candle” episode of Stargate SG-1 is an okay episode. I watch it alot, but it’s not a huge favorite. There are things I love about it, and there are aspects that keep it from being a stellar show.
The opening scene is wonderful. Richard Dean …
Audition (movie) 1999
This film has left me pretty stunned and I really need to watch it again. Yes, I think it is very good but it is certainly not to everyone’s taste. There is a rather famous, or infamous, torture scene that is truly agony to experience, but I …
Friday the 13th Boxed Set
When I heard that they were releasing a boxed set of the Friday the 13th movies, I felt a little thrill of excitement. These are the movies I grew up watching, and while Nightmare on Elm Street got its own treatment years ago, Friday the 13th was still bringing …

Addam’s Family Values. A Movie

Film Valkyrie
Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …
Dunston Checks In Movie
Dunston Checks In is not the kind of movie that I would typically watch. But just last weekend at a family gathering a family member popped in the DVD and there it was. To my surprise I loved the movie right from the first couple of minutes of watching. …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …

A Mighty Heart
I can’t say that I really loved the movie “A Mighty Heart” since I never really did get to watch it in full but only watched parts of it over different time periods. When i was watching the parts of it, the movie did seem a little boring but …
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
What can I say - the title of this review says it all! I watched “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at Greenbelt Cinema 3 with my best friend and her son last weekend and it was, in a word, awesome! The movie really lived up to all the hype.

Things We Lost in the Fire
The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …
Gaslight (1944)
I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …

The 1956 war movie about D-Day begins with the incredibly handsome lead actors Captain Brad Parker (Robert Taylor) and Lt. Colonel John Wynter (Richard Todd) standing on deck of a ship, while crossing the English Channel during the stormy crossing to land on D-Day. The movie spends most of …
Dead Poets Society (1989 Film)
The 1989 film, Dead Poets Society, was an emotional, rejuvenating yet sorrowfully disturbing tale that left me both impressed, yet extremely sad for the main characters. If you are a fan of an elaborate tale about being inspired to enjoy literature as well as life by “Seizing the day” …

“The Other Woman” is a romantic comedy directed by Nick Cassavetes (the same from “The Notebook” and “Alpha Dog”) and starred by Cameron Diaz (Carly), Leslie Man (Kate) and Kate Upton (Amber). The plot is pretty simple: a girl falls for a guy, a guy falls for a girl, …
Jane Eyre Movie 1970
This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …

DIE HARD is one of the greatest action movies of all time. I thought this movie was very funny and also very violent. The plot is simple but great. A bunch of terrorist have taken over a hotel and want to take all the money in the place. They also …
DVD Doctor Who —“ Beneath the Surface
I love classic old Doctor Who stories. I was born in 1974, the year that Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee, so have been really keen on finding out about earlier adventures, and these DVD boxed sets are great for that. This one contains 3 stories in total, …

Movie Cars
Cars is an animation movie which was released in 2006. It was created by Pixar Studios which has already produced some great movies in the past.

Donnie Darko (Movie)
I have been told that I am the last person on earth not to have seen Donnie Darko yet, even though it is a very old movie. I just didn’t get around to it, even though I have most of the movie’s soundtrack on my iPod. The other night, …
Taking The Lead
Take The Lead with Antonio Banderas, Rob Brown, and Alfre Woodard.
Right from the beginning, I began to mentally attack this movie as being hard to believe even though it is based on a true story. Banderas played a French dance teacher, yet his Spanish accent …
Oz the Great and Powerful, 2013 movie
I just watched Oz the Great and Powerful and I have to say that I am a little disappointed by it. I was expecting a great movie and all I got was a so and so one. Before watching it I was thinking to myself “God, I hope James …
Ladyhawke (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “Ladyhawke” was not only a strong dose of fantasy that touches everyone’s inner child and magical yearning for something powerful that can’t possibly be real, as well as beautiful love story that was heartwarming to watch. Mathew Broderick, a very young Mathew Broderick, as well as …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …
The LEGO Movie (2014)
When my kids first heard about the LEGO Movie it was all they would talk about for weeks. I have to admit that even though I tried to act cool about it, I was pretty excited too. This movie had an all-star cast with everyone from Morgan Freeman to …
Disney’s Cinderella Movie (2015)

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
One of my favorite family movies growing up was Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s one of Robin Williams’ best movies, I think. In it, he plays the father of three children that he hardly gets to see because of his divorce. So, he disguises himself as a senior-age …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds.
