Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
As Good As It Gets movie
This movie, starring Jack Nicholson as an obsessive compulsive romance novelist who is a bit of a people hater and Helen Hunt as a struglling waitress with an ill son, is very cute.
That’s really the only way I can describe it. There is a cute dog, a gay artist …
FIRST WIVES CLUB,movie
There are more ways than one to skin a cat…….or to affect the life of a husband who has hurt you! If you are dealing with Goldie Hawn, Bette Middler, and Dinae Keaton, who are having pity parties for themselves, as the movie begins…….pity parties that only hilarious …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.
I think Jack Nichalson did …
Big Shots movie
Big Shots with Chris Titus and Dylan Mc Dermott.
The first episode of this series was pretty good, but the novelty quickly wore off. Four 40 year old well to do executives are friends and form a support group for each other as they muck …
Under the Cherry Moon
Prince is one of the most multi-talented performers in the world. Acting, however, is not one of his strongest points. However, as Hollywood history proves, an actor doesn’t particularly have to be all that talented, if audiences like him.
“Under the Cherry Moon” was supposed to be a …
Mongolian Death Worm Movie
I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.
The movie, which in my opinion is pretty much a rip off of the film Tremors, was …
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 …
Untraceable
“Untraceable” is a nail biting movie with Diane Lane in one of her best roles. What is so interesting about this movie is that it has a slow beginning but, later on, it peaks up in a fast manner with a heart beating ending.
“Untraceable” is about Jennifer Marsh (Lane) …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I am not really a fan of “chick-flicks”, but, this movie is entertaining and likable. A teenager finds out that she is the heir to the throne of a non so known country. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to embrace her new found kingdom. …
Pan’s Labyrinth
The other night I watched a very unique movie called Pan’s Labyrinth, or El Laberinto del fauno. I really enjoyed this movie. Pan’s Labyrinth was out in 2006. The movie is set in the time of the Spanish civil war. Pan’s Labyrinth primarily follows the …
Spanglish (2004)
Spanglish, directed by James L. Brooks is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some sexual content and brief language. The original release date was December 17, 2004 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Drama/Romance and stars Adam Sandler as John …
Night at the Museum
I am reviewing the movie, Night at the Museum, starring Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller’s character is a guy who can’t keep a job very easily. He has a son. He and his wife got a divorce years ago, and so he doesn’t get to see his son as much …
Dominique movie
In 1978, there was a movie produced called Dominique. Unlike the bouncing tune made famous in The Singing Nun, this Dominique is deadly serious. In fact, it’s essentially a murder mystery.
Everything in this piece is very slow and deliberate. As a viewer, it’s easy to draw …
Movie The Inside Man
This is a great movie which has all the right things, such as a good story and a great director as well as a wonderful cast. The director of “The Inside Man”, Spike Lee managed to produce a good movie in just 39 days of shooting.
“The Inside Man” is …
G-Force movie
This movie is about guinnea pigs having the skills to be secret agents. As most of the ’superhero type’ movies, they are there to save the world from threat or destruction.
The movie is basically for kids. The main characters were presented in a ‘cute’ manner. The …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …
Jay and Silent Bob Strike back (2001)
The main topic of this movie is that jay and Silent Bob are on their way to either do one of two things. But before I go there, here is the situation that the need to address their images have been made into a movie without their consent and …
Wives and Daughters (1999)
This is a wonderful BBC miniseries, and I recommend it highly. It’s based on a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, a Victorian writer, contemporary with Charles Dickens.
The story centers on Molly Gibson, a young girl living in England in the 1830’s. Molly is the only child of a local …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse, apocalyptic fiction action horror film
How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …
Jerry Maguire
It’s quite sad that Tom Cruise ain’t acting in movies as gorgeously good as Jerry Maguire anymore. I caught this movie when it was first released on theaters and then later caught it on again on DVD. I was not bored at all watching it.
The storyline …
Monsters Inc.
I recently loaded the movie Monsters Inc on our netflix player for my daughter to watch. She hasn’t seen this movie before. I have and I think it is a great animated film.
The thing I like about this movie is the unique plot. You have a bunch of monsters …
A Christmas Story (1983)
This movie is a story about a young boy of nine years old who desperately wants a BB gun for his Christmas gift. As the story goes, he approaches and asks his mother and father first about the BB gun and they turn him down and away by stating …
Chasing Liberty
You actually realise how important a creative script writer is when you watch two movies with the same story line. The difference between both of them can be the level of acting and the creativity involved.
This is the case of the movie “Chasing Liberty” that has the same storyline …
Cars Disney
It is about Cars movie, the one from Disney Pixar. In the beginning,I thought it was just another kind of racing car cartoon for the children. Normally the story will be standard. But I was wrong. When my son watched it for the first time, I did not put …
The Picture of Dorian Gray (2007): movie
Oscar Wilde’s short story The Picture of Dorian Gray has been adapted into a movie a number of times. The most recent adaptation of the short story was made in 2007. It was produced by Third Rock Films and directed by Duncan Roy. It starred David …
Sex and the City movie
I watched the movie of Sex and the city on one of the movie channels recently. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I don’t generally like the show sex and the city but the movie was pretty good. It had a lot …
Angel’s Fall film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts film, Angel’s Fall. So there’s this woman. She used to work in this restaurant cooking. One night a shooter entered the place and shot all of her co-workers, including her best friend. She was the only one left alive. Ever since then, this …
Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say I enjoyed it as much as I did first time I saw it.
Of all the movies that are based on classic tales, this spin on Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow …
Haywire (2011 film)
I am actually happy that I watched this movie for free and not in the cinema paying some kind of ticket. Well, I would say it is a strange movie; I did not understand if it was meant to be an action one or something else. Because you can …
Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
Pretty in Pink (1986 film)
The 1986 film “Pretty in Pink” is one of my all time favorite films! Nothing can beat a story of romance, friendship, and the social hardships that come with surviving high school. This movie reaches out to so many people of all ages, and it was difficult for me …
A Few Good Men movie
I think A Few Good Men is one of the coolest an funniest movies I have ever seen. I really like the acting of Jack Nicholson in this film. The movie A Few Good Men also stars Tom Cruise as well. I think both actors do a wonderful job of …
Hot Tub Time Machine
When I saw the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” advertising I ignored it, simply because I thought that it was going to be one of those college humour shows that is full of lots of sex and sex jokes that I would generally not be interested in. However, …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …
DVD THE CAVE
I found this DVD, THE CAVE, to be entertaining, but, actually, rather strange. It has to do with: first, a group of soldiers, during WW11 finding a cave full of historical treasures, in Europe. Something happens to this group of soldiers, then, there is a flash to the present …
The Banger Sisters
In all honesty I don’t know why Susan Sarandon decided to participate in an average movie such as “The Banger Sisters”. The only reason that comes to my mind is that, after 11 years, from her successful movie “Thelma & Louise”, she thought this movie will have the same …
The Town (2010 thriller movie)
I always somehow managed to skip over the 2010 movie “The Town” because I heard a few bad reviews about it. I just figured that it was going to be a really bad movie, and to make things worse, I’m not much of a fan of the actor Ben Affleck. …
Blue Hawaii movie
Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …
Apocalypto : Movie
Apocalypto is a movie directed by Mel Gibson. It was released soon after the scandal that occurred when Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving and went on a tirade against Jewish people. For this reason, many people didn’t see the movie when it came out …
Arlington Road movie
I am reviewing the movie, Arlington Road, starring Jeff Bridges. So there’s this professor. He teaches a class in terrorism at a university. He is driving to work one day and comes across a small boy that is bleeding. He tries to get the kid to talk …
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
This is a movie where you have the legendary characters of old coming together to quell the upsurge of multiple acts of violence that has occurred. The league comprises of the following superhuman and mere mortals alike and they are: Allan Quatermain, en Englishman who has evaded the …
Thirteen Ghosts (movie)
I don’t know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts.
Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting …
Showcase Cinemas Randolph MA
I took my daughter today to see Bee Movie at Showcase Cinemas in Randolph. The movie was great…but, I will leave that for someone else. :)
There were a lot of cars in the lot when we arrived, but amazingly, there was still parking close by. The …
Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
I Know Who Killed Me Movie
I have no problem admitting that I actually like Lindsay Lohan, or at least I like her as an actress even if I don’t care for her personality or partying. I actually like her as a singer too, which is why I think it’s a little sad to see …
Megiddo: The Omega Code 2
If you’re the kind that likes to watch TBN and laugh at just how insane and silly these people really are, then you will probably enjoy Megiddo: The Omega Code 2. Although it proclaims itself as a sequel to the Omega Code, it isn’t really a sequel (although …
The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …
Gangster (movie), 2006
I watched Gangster on TV and I really liked the film. It released on 28th April, 2006. I could not watch the movie at theatre because I had my University exam in May, 2006. But I really wished to watch it at theatre especially after the controversy that this …
