A League Of Their Own (movie)
A League Of Their Own is a movie about women’s baseball. Evidently when World War II was going on, the women were left to fend for themselves, literally, in more ways than one. I knew that during the war, women were leaders in the work force because all the …
Coraline (Film)
I love Tim Burton movies. I think they make great movies for all different ages, with enough of the eerie element to keep me interested. I fell in love after watching a Nightmare before Christmas; the animation was just so different, three dimensional but not of reality. I was …
Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh Movie
It was because of Candyman why I avoided taking a shower for a week as a kid. I was afraid to be alone in the bathroom, much less pass by a mirror where I knew he would jump out and get me. I really liked the first movie and I …

Bingo (1991 movie)
The first time that I saw the movie “Bingo” was several years ago in either the late nineteen nineties or the early two thousands, and I was not very impressed with the movie. Even when I watched it a little more recently, I still was not impressed with it. …
A of “The Social Network” (2010 film)
Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …
Tangled 3D Movie
I’m a big fan of Disney animated movies, even the ones that are about the so-called Disney Princesses. So when I saw the trailed for Tangled, Disney’s 50th animated film, then you can just imagine how excited I was. After watching the movie in 3D recently, all I can …
Pan’s Labyrinth (R, 2006) movie
What a dark and magical film this is. I had heard things about this movie. And as usual, I waited until the Oscar hype had died down before venturing out and renting it. I am certainly glad I did. This story, placed in 1944 revolves …
Delgo Movie
I don’t remember the movie Delgo ever being at the movie theaters. So, when I came across it on Netflix, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. It didn’t have a ton of stars by it, but, when I read the individual reviews on the Netflix site, most complained …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …

Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
My Name Is Bruce
“My Name Is Bruce” is Bruce Cambell’s latest attempt at a film. Just like his others this film falls in the it’s so bad it’s good category. Basically the film revolves around a town and a young man who lives in it. Ultimatley this …

First of all let me tell you a bit about the movie for anyone who has not seen it. Mary Poppins is set in London around 1910. It is a fantastic musical family film. The film is about a family in London who require a nanny for …
Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.

The Green Mile
I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.

When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie

Jurassic World - Sci-Fi Adventure Movie (2015)
Jurassic World is an amazing movie. Fortunately I chose to watch this movie in 3D. In 3D, you can’t help but feel slightly terrified by the roars of the dinosaurs as they attack and wreak havoc. I was hooked the entire 2 hours of the movie and can’t wait for …
Reign Over Me
When I saw the previews for this movie I automatically wanted to see it. I was a little skeptical as to how good it would have been with Adam Sandler playing a serious role, I have only ever seen him do comedy roles. He did an amazing job though. …
Springtime in the Rockies movie

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010 Movie)

Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
