Saving Private Ryan is a movie you will want to watch over and over again. It is a unforgetable story about World War II. Tom Hanks stars as Captain John Miller who is ordered to take his men behind the enemy lines in order to save Private James Ryan. …
Halloween
I absolutely hate the new “Halloween,” this crude, obscene, bloody, gory, stupid, disgusting slasher. I have not seen the original version made sometime in the 70s, but from what I hear, it did not have all the sliced up bodies on screen; this one does, and seems to relish …
The Flintstones movie
I can remember going to see this movie at the theatres with a family member when I was very little. At the time I rememebr being extra excited too since I was used to watching The Flintstones cartoon a lot and I was curious to know how a film …
Click film
We had to watch this film for school. I thought it was a weird choice since… well, it was an Adam Sandler movie and you don’t really watch those movies in school as a requirement do you? Still, my classmates and I watched it and we found out why …
The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …

I said I was not going to do it but I did it. I broke down and saw the movie This is It. I am certain most die -hard Michael Jackson fans have already seen this “movie” in the theater or on DVD but I was not …
Netflix Online
I just became a member of Netflix Online and I absolutely love it! I have never tried Netflix until recently and have always thought it was confusing, but being able go online and instantly watch certain movies is amazing. You search through movies available to “Watch Instantly” and once …
Storm Warning
Storm Warning is a movie full of blood, guts and gore. If you are not up for this sort of violence and horror, you do not want to watch Storm Warning! Sometimes I can really appreciate a good horror movie filled with all sort of blood and guts. Recently …
Sky High movie
Sky High is a 2005 move that mixes elements of both the superhero and teen movie genres into an enjoyable, exceptionally fun movie going experience. It’s not the best movie around, and certainly isn’t the best composite of it;s two respective genres, but it is still a very watchable …
Horton Hears a Who
Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.
I had expected the movie, which is about an elephant who discovers and protects …
The Ugly Truth
I was really excited to see the Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler when I heard it was coming out. I had seen an interview with Katherine about it and she said it was raunchier than she had ever done so I assumed it would be …
Movie: Witless Protection
I loved the first Larry the Cable Guy movie I saw, the one where he is a health inspector. So, I figured I couldn’t go wrong with the movie Witless Protection.
I was wrong.
Basically, this movie stars Larry the Cable Guy as a small town cop who is in charge …

The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)
I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …
The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …
Film “Ginger Snaps”
Ginger Snaps is one of the best older movies I’ve seen this month. Every October I watch a lot of horror movies in honor of halloween and this year for the first time I watched Ginger snaps because Netflix recommended it to me. The story follows two …
Shortbus (movie)
One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …
Envy the Movie
I watched this movie with my family, but it did not turn out being a very friendly film for families. I wish that it was a better one for us to have watched, but at the same time, it was funny, and kids are used to hearing bad language …
Train Ride (R, 2000)
There are fleeting moments of competency in this late 90’s film—the last to feature actress Esther Rolle before her death in the same year (1998.) The story itself is quite feasible. A group of college guys have three freshman girls over hoping to get …
Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …
Paper Man Movie (2009)
I wouldn’t have heard of a movie like this normally, but I just finished watching the movie Buried with Ryan Reynolds where I was so impressed with the actor that I have decided to watch a few more of his movie. So I looked up in IMDB for some …

This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …

The Pianist (2006)
I loved the movie “The Pianist” (2006). The Roman Polanski movie three Oscars and probably deserved more. The movie tells the story of real-life Polish Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew, who lived in Warsaw before, during, and after World War II. I found the movie believable and touching without …
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.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …

Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
Brubaker movie
Robert Redord stars as Brubaker, an unconventional warden who wants to bring reform to the prison system. He’s met with disapproval from just about everyone, including the inmates, but he remains true to his vision.
My favorite scene is the beginning, when Redford as Henry Brubaker first enters the …
Starving in Suburbia (movie)
I just finished watching the movie Starving in Suburbia and it was one of the best Lifetime original movies I can remember watching. I was actually shocked that it only got a rating of about 6.5 on its IMDB page since I think that it should have gotten at …
Beowulf (2007)
This movie is not to be confused with another movie by the same name and a similar plot which was released some time in either the late nineteen nineties or the early 2000s. I watched this movie some time either last week or the week before on a cable …

Pirates of the Carribean- Dead Man’s Chest
It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …

Sherlock holmes movie
A few days ago I saw Sherlock Holmes in the cinema.
Sherlock Holmes in the old books and the stories were really a thinking man, and not so violent!
But in this movie he is. I have not read the books, so I can not say anything about it.
The movie was …
No Country For Old Men
This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …
Notorious movie
I remember only vaguely the so-called hip-hop wars between the East Coast and the West Coast rap artists in the 1980s and early 1990s, because I listened to only some of the music. I do remember the violence between the two groups, and the gang war that resulted in …
