1408
Starring: John Cussack (Mike Enslin), Samuel L Jackson (Gerald Olin), Mary McCormack (Lily Enslin), Jasmine Jessica Anthony (Katie Enslin)
The movie had captivated my interest from the very beginning especially with so much buildup about a room, that I was ‘dying’ with curiosity just to have a …
A Christmas Carol (1938)
As it turned out, I was only able to view one version of A Christmas Carol this year. Normally, I see several, but scheduling just didn’t work out, not to mention I didn’t notice this Charles Dickens’ classic being shown all that much. This A Christmas Carol …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
This weekend on the family channel they were showing the Harry Potter series. Today we watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,
I liked this movie very much, as we watched it on television we noticed that there were extra scenes placed in this movie, guess …
Harold and kumar go to white castle
One day I watched this movie because I was really bored and it was on television. It wasn’t that good at all. I think I might have laughed once or twice. Most of the time I like movies about this or that are like this. This movie though made …

Girl Positive (movie)
As I mentioned previously I love watching some Lifetime movies even though a lot of them aren’t necessarily up to par when it comes to acting, writing and directing. Even the storylines at time don’t even add up. However, when I watched the movie “Girl, Positive”, it was definitely …
Epic Movie
It’s been since last night since I watched Epic Movie and I’m still a bit torn about whether I liked the movie or not. Well, maybe I should rephrase that, I did like it, I’m just not sure if I should have been disappointed in it.
Epic Movie was an …
Hammer Horror Series dvd
I was very happy to borrow this dvd set from a friend of mine since I like some of the classic horror movies on it. I personally think that having a dvd like this is a great deal for fans of classic horror movie films since it contains so …
George Romero’s Land of The Dead
This is a very underrated movie. Most zombie movies are all about gore and blood. This movie isn’t just a typical zombie movie though. In this movie, the zombies get smart and start to adapt. They begin living as if they were still alive, establishing communities of the living …
Film Ghostbusters
It was one of my most ardent childhood wishes that, when I grew up, I should marry Ghostbuster Egon Spengler.
One of the first blockbusters of the 1980’s Ghostbusters features an array of Saturday Night Live Players, and some of the finest comedians of the day. Conceived by Dan Aykroyd, …
The Cell movie
This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …
Eight Men Out
I am reviewing the movie, Eight Men Out, which was released in 1988. This movie centers on the 1919 fall of American Sports, when the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series. The film centers around Shoeless Joe Jackson, played by DB Sweeny; Eddie Cicotte, played by David Strathairn; …

Dedication Movie
In must admit that I really enjoy watching Mandy Moore’s movie; however “Dedication” failed to impress me. Even though the great actors, Diane Wiest and Tom Wilkinson give a lot to this movie, ultimately I found it a boring romantic comedy. It seems that I am not the only …
Last year at Marienbad movie
A most mysterious film by french experimental filmmaker Alain Resnais. It’s a film that deals with the human memory. What is the memory and why do we have it? Why do we remember some things and forget others. The narrative is very complex and leaves room for a million …
Goodrich Canton Cinemas
I have never gotten good customer service at this Canton movie theater. On my birthday, I was directed toward the wrong theater and I ended up missing the movie I wanted to see. A couple ahead of us in line ordered tickets to a movie called “The American”, which …
I Confess,movie
This appears to be one of Hitchcock’s lesser known films. It tells the story of a priest, Father Michael Logan (Montgovery Clift), who hears a murderer’s confession and almost gets accused of the murder himself because he cannot reveal what he was told in a confession. The murderer is …
Paranormal Activity (R, 2007)
As soon as I heard that Paranormal Activity was coming to theaters I wanted to see it immediately. I have long been a fan of movies like this, and was waiting with baited breath to see some horror that wasn’t contrived and silly. I am actually glad …
The Shawshank Redemption
To say it bluntly, this is my second favorite movie of all time (#1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark if you’re curious) and absolutely deserving of its current top spot on IMDB’s top 250 movies of all time. What is so great about this movie is that …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
In what could be considered by parents a nightmare of a movie, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle has been, and continues to be one of the most popular comedy movies amongst teens and 20 somethings.
In this film, roommates Harold struggles daily for just one lucky break when …
License to Kill movie
To begin with, this film may have the best theme song of a Bond movie ever, and that doesn’t say a little. I think Timothy Dalton gives another convincing performance here, but yet he only received harsh criticism for this. I know what the problem is, and Dalton’s got …

Robin Hood:Men in Tights
One of Mel Brooks’ many parodies of famous folklore. No one can deny that this movie is comedy at its best. You will be laughing your socks off from start to finish and even after it’s all said and done. Cary Elwes is a true comedian and its due …
The Dark Knight
In a rare and shocking move on the part of DC Comics, they decided to make a good movie. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve hit that mark a few times in the past, but usually Hollywood people get in the way when super hero movies are being made …
Moulin Rouge (2001 Movie)
Moulin Rouge by director Baz Luhrman is a movie built around its soundtrack…or at least, that’s how it feels to me. Each scene seems designed so that it can be summed up with a song. Fortunately the soundtrack is actually pretty good - many of the songs are great, …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Movie: From Prada to Nada

Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
Music Box
Only Laurel and Hardy could take a premise like delivering a piano to someone’s home and turn it into a forty-five minute film. It would take stars of their comedic stature to pull it off, and they do it nicely. Stan and Ollie are deliverymen. They are hired by …
Wild Hogs (Movie)
I had expected a lot from this movie since it featured my list of favorite actors like John Travolta and Martin Lawrence, as well as Tim Allen and William Macy as the four main cast in the movie. Marisa Tomei and Ray Liotta are also in the movie and …
Network movie
What a deeply prophetic and darkly funny film this is. The performances from Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway and William Holden are absolute perfection, and Sidney Lumet’s directing is brilliant as well, but the screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky is the true diamond of this movie. It is shockingly …
Johnny Dangerously movie
An honest and decent man is forced into criminality when his mother is having a severe disease, and he sees no other way out.

Iron Man Movie
I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …

When I first saw the movie “National Treasure” advertising to be released I thought it was based on the book “The Da Vinci Code” by author Dan Brown. This was because I had just finished reading the book, and had heard either on the television or from one of …
42, movie (2013)
Stories of the underestimated seem to resonate with us as a culture. When we see an underdog overcome great challenges before them, it becomes a story that becomes personal for any individual. Film has presented this archetype since its creation. Rocky, Forrest Gump, and the Mighty …
Glitter movie
Beautiful and gifted young female singer longs for and eventually achieves great fame, but, in her quest, faces loss and tragedy in love and life.
