Despicable Me Movie
Rarely am I interested in movies, so it always comes as a surprise for me if I’m interested in watching a movie for a second or even third time. Despicable Me was such a great movie that I now have it on a regular weekend rotation. This movie, starring …

The Sentinel, directed by Clark Johnson is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some intense action violence and a scene of sensuality. The original release date was April 21, 2006 fir United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Michael …
ATM (2012 horror movie)
I had to admit that the plot for the horror movie “ATM” was certainly unique. It was that which made me interested in viewing it in the first place, even though I honestly had to wonder about how such a plot would be sustainable for an entire feature length film. …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …
Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …
Fracture
The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …
Annabelle, horror movie (2014)
I was one of the many The Conjuring fans who had bought their Annabelle tickets a week before the show times. With a group of friends rushing to the theater where this supposedly horror-movie-of-the-year would be playing I was nothing less than thrilled. Needless to say the emotions …
Friday the 13th Part 5
I think one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when you have a gorgeous blonde who is trying to hook up with a goofy, balding man. Every time I see the movie, I start laughing. I realize that it is supposed to be a small town, but …
Nana (anime)
The series manga/anime series “Nana” is an absolute blast. The story follows two 20-year old girls, both named “Nana” who meet coincidentally twice, and become room mates and best friends. One Nana, Nana Osaki is a punk singer who wants to debut with her band as soon as possible …
Seven Pounds DVD
I rented the DVD ‘Seven Pounds,’ starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, fully expecting to see a romantic, heart warming story, much in the same genre as ‘Pursuit of Happyness;’ instead, I found it to be a mostly dark and agonizing tale, and even slightly creepy.
I do have to …
Evan Almighty movie
This movie, a sequel in premise only to the earlier Bruce Almighty, is a fun PG rated film to enjoy with the whole family. Morgan Freeman once again plays God, with of course the ability to appear and reappear at will to whomever he desires. Steve Carell reprises his …
Zathura movie
I know this movie is a rip off of Jumanji and was therefore given a bad rating, but in all honesty this was actually a pretty good movie. It is especially great for kids witht the exception that the younger brother calls his sibling a dick. This …
The Majestic
I loved this movie. Jim Carrey proves once again that he has some real talent, not just silly-funny gestures and faces. He plays a movie writer who loses his memory after a car accident and is mistakenly recognized as a missing war hero in a small town. He just …
The We and the I (movie)
I’ve had a special love for independent films for the longest time, especially when they’re done quite well. This is why I just had to see the movie “The We and the I” when I saw it on the cable guide fairly recently. Even though a lot of people …
Mr. Wrong movie
On Friday evening my family and I were waiting for my mother to get to my grandmother’s house after she was finished at the hair dresser, so what I did to kill time was watch a little television. That was how I saw the movie “Mr. Wrong” on the …
Jason X
Cast:
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees), Lexa Doig (Rowan), Lisa Ryder (Kay-Em 14), Jonathan Potts (Prof Lowe), Melyssa Ade (Janessa), Peter Mensah (Sgt Brodski)
The only thing I like about this show is Jason Voorhees in the year 2445. This is quite refreshing they could not kill him off …
Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School
My daughter, who is four, has discovered Scooby Doo and absolutely loves the show and movies.
The other day, we bought her a copy of the 1988 film “Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School.” And, as is the case with most movies she loves, she has watched the film 2-3 …
Erin Brockovich
Erin Brockovich is based on a true story. Erin, played by Julia Roberts, is a single mother of three who goes from living in poverty and being unemployed to a millionairess working as a legal consultant. You know, from the beginning of the movie, that Erin is determined because …
The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
Lajja (movie), 2001
I watched Lajja at cinema hall. The movie released in 2001. It is directed by Raj Kumar Santhoshi. The movie is based on the plight of women at the hand men. The movie depicts four parallel stories of four women based in USA to a remote village in Uttar …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …
The Guardian
I am reviewing the movie, The Guardian, which was released in 2006. This movie stars Kevin Costner, as Ben Randall, a US Coast Guard diver who saves lives for a living. When a chopper accident occurs and leaves Ben as the only survivor, he begins to suffer from severe …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
Dady’s Little Girls
Daddy’s little girls is one of Tyler Perry’s heartwarming movies, about a loving father who is doing all he can for his three little girls. My husband and i watched it together on the couch. I think he cried as much as i did.
Monty (Idris Elba) went to see …
Hound of the Baskervilles
I loved the book Hound of the Baskervilles when I first read it but never got a chance to see the movie based on the book until this weekend, when it was airing on one of our movie channels.
You know what? The book is a heck of a lot …
“American Pastime” Movie
I’m a big fan of jazz, baseball, and history so when I heard about the 2007 movie “American Pastime” that is based on a real story, deals with the internment of the West Coast Japanese during World War II, and deals with baseball and jazz, I was hooked. What …
DVD North Country
Imagine a Lifetime Television Original with a bunch of four letter words and you get North Country.
North Country tells the (cliched) true tale of a woman who brought a class action sexual harrassement suit against the bad dialogue spewing management of a coal mine.
Movies like this have been a …
I Robot
Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.
Based in the future, when robots have become part of everyday life, Smith plays a cop who is convinced the robots will eventually try to take …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …
Lord of the Rings-The Two Towers (2002)
Having started the journey to Mount Doom with intent of destroying the ring of power, Frodo Baggins and his never wavering friend Sam make their way under the watchful eye and previous owner of the ring “Smeagol aka Gollum”. This installation takes focus of the return of the dark …
Blades of Glory
I am reviewing the movie, Blades of Glory, starring Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell plays a sex-addicted, skating champ named Chazz Michael Michaels. He is banned from competing in men’s skating when he gets into a fight with his nemesis, Jimmy MacElroy, who is a co-gold medallist. They are …
Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
The Whole Ten Yards (2004)
This is the second installation into the ‘whole yards’ situation that they started before. In the original, Jimmy the Tulip wanted to get out of the mob life and make a new life for himself, this was successful due to the expert dental work of Oz the dentist, an …
Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …
Movie: “Harold and Maude”
This classic love story from 1971 is the May-December romance with a twist: the man is young, the woman old.
Harold is a spoiled rich boy who has an obsession with death. His favorite hobbies? Faking his own suicide to terrify his stuffy mother; and attending the funerals of strangers. …
While You Were Sleeping movie
Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …
Blowup movie
Blowup is a strange British film about a London photographer who shoots some film in a park of a woman named Jane and another man. Jane, played by Vanessa Redgrave, desperately wants the film back, but the self-involved photographer isn’t very cooperative.
David Hemmings stars, along with Sarah Miles …
Up In The Air Movie
I thought this movie was going to be really exciting since Anna Kendrick and George Clooney was here, the movie all about George Clooney being “alone” and “isolated” because of this job that requires him to fly all around the country, he then meets Vera Farmiga who’s just as …
Death in Disguise movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death in Disguise, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Troy. This movie was made in 1999, was produced by Brian-True May and Betty Wilingale, and is based off of the novels written by Caroline …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie
Long before the television show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, there was the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie released in the early nineties. Of course, at the time it was released I was about three or four and so I never knew about it. However, I did watch …
Signs movie
I know many people didn’t like “Signs”. I think that is because they came into the movie with the wrong expectations. As a science fiction movie “Signs” is average. The aliens don’t make very much sense; there is no explanation of their motivation. The special effects are simple to …
Raising Arizona (1987)
Raising Arizona, directed by Joel Coen is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Assocation of America. The original release date was March 13, 1987 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Comedy/Crime/Mystery and stars Nicolas cage as H.I. McDunnough, Holly Hunter as Edwina ‘Ed’ McDunnough, …
The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …
Yellow Rolls-Royce movie
This film tells the story of a yellow Rolls-Royce, exactly as the title says. The story is told in episodes, showing how the car exchanges owner and telling the stories of these people. It is owned by so different people as an english marquis, an italian mob boss and …
The Matrix
The Matrix is one of the best movie I have seen in my entire life. The storyline is just awesome. And the acting is just great. My favorite character would of course have to be Neo. The whole concept of The Matrix just blew me away. I was so impressed …
