Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …

The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …
Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)
I had always liked Nicolas Cage, in fact, he has always been my #1 favorite actor of all times and he still is right now, but when I saw the trailer for this movie I had let out a scoff and a giggle, I never thought he would go …
Film Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Living in the shadow of its critically accalimed sibling Mary Poppins, Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks has often gotten a pretty unfair deal. Critics have been apt to compare it unfavorably to Mary Poppins, citing that it is unable to conjure the same magic even though it concerns an apprentice …
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
After a phenomenal television series, I was extremely disappointed with “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” by Chris Carter. Five or six years after Special Agent Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully escaped from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the FBI acquired a case which needed the expertise …

The Book of Eli
As the movie started, my roommates joked that this was “Fallout: The Movie”. Given that it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the country is a vast wasteland, comparisons are inevitable, but some of the set pieces were also very reminiscent of the game. Given that …
Clueless (1995)

Movie: Rear Window (the original)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is a great movie by the master of suspense movies! The acting is phenomenal as it stars Grace Kelly (so beautiful!) and Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors). Jimmy Stewart plays a character who has broken his leg and is in a wheelchair and …
Come to the Stable movie
What a wonderful, inspiring movie Come to the Stable is. I thought I’d already reviewed it, but a check shows I haven’t. Shame on me because this is one of my favorite holiday stories. It makes me feel good inside, and the story contains the Christmas …
Indiscreet movie
Indiscreet is actually my first exposure that I can recall to a young Gloria Swanson, who stars in this 1931 film as Gerry Trent. So much of what I have seen is Swanson decades later and the caricature that is so often parodied on shows like The Carol …

Shelter DVD
Despite being produced by here!network (cable network known for many things but not good quality movies), “Shelter” is a well written, well produced, well acted movie about love.

Meet the Spartans
Normally, I like movies that spoof other movies; everything from Scary movie to pretty much anything made by Mel Brooks. But, after watching Meet the Spartans last night, I no longer can say I like all movies in that genre.
The thing about Meet the Spartans is it had the …
Au Revoir Les Enfants (drama movie)
To some extent, the movie is said to be based on director Louis Malle’s remorseful recollection of events in 1944 during the time when the Nazis occupied France. ‘Au Revoir Les Enfants’ is a subtle and yet powerful film that reveals to us the potentials that can befall when …

Surf’s Up (2007) movie
One of the best animation movies of all time, and certainly the best from Sony Animation, Surf’s Up was funny, clever, and perfectly edited. The voices matched the characters brilliantly, and the characters themselves were a hilariously mixed and matched. Some of the dialog was truly inspired, …
Cemetery Gates (movie)
Normally I enjoy most creature and scary animal movies, but I found this one a large disappointment. When I first heard about Cemetery Gates I was quite eager to see it as I had never seen a horror movie about a Tasmanian devil. So when I did see it, …
London - (starring Jessica Biel)
I watched London starring Jessica Biel the other day and it’s not really that bad a movie story. Chris Evans star too and in this DVD movie story that I watched, it’s basically about Chris Evans and he act as the character Syd. He is a guy that …

The Glass House,2001 movie
A mediocre, predictable thriller with quite a few plotholes and not the best acting. Ruby (Leelee Sobieski), a 16 year old girl, and her brother Rhett (Trevor Morgan) are orphaned when their parents die in a car accident. A wealthy couple adopts them, supposedly according to the dead parents …
H. H. Holmes; America’s First Serial Killer movie
I had a late night with my youngest daughter last night (she ended up taking a late afternoon nap so she didn’t want to go to sleep at her regular time). Since I needed to stay awake too, I ended up looking for something to watch.
I didn’t want to …
The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
Four Weddings And A Funeral
Remember watching Hugh Grant’s performance in Four Weddings And A Funeral the movie..? Well, I loved it very much and I could still remember this very delightful story.

BlockBuster Video in Westford MA
Blockbuster in Westford is a very good place to rent your movies at. I liked going to this particular blockbuster because of the neatness, size, customer service and the fact that the movie I always wanted to get was always in, no matter what.
When you pull into Blockbuster you …

Hide and Seek is a very good thriller movie starring Robert De Niro and Dakota fanning. I am an avid fan of Robert De Niro’s movies and have been watching his movies for many years. Though I watched this movie purely for Robert De Niro, I was surprised by …
Wolverine and the Xmen
I watched “Wolverine and the Xmen episode 1& 2″ with my kids yesterday. I am an avid Xmen fan. I grew up reading the comics and watched the cartoons in the 1980’s I have also seen the movies.
I heard of this new “Wolverine and the Xmen” and decided …
When Harry met Sally movie
This cult-rated romantic comedy was the very first of a long series of similar films, all starring Meg Ryan as practically the same character. When Harry met Sally was directed by the talented Rob Reiner (even though he wasted his talent at several occasions in my opinion), and also …
Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?
Norbit is one of the dumbest movies that I’ve seen …
The People Vs. Larry Flynt movie
This is a 1996 film starring Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton, it is the true story of Larry Flynt and his Hustler Magazine. The fact that Woody played Flynt surprised me a little, a drastic shift in style for him, he does a really good job, before this film …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
I can’t remember how many times I have watched this movie again and again. I guess, too many times to count. But I am not over it yet. If I have to pick from a list of chick flick films that I would want to watch a rerun of, …
Leap Frog - Letter Factory (2003) - DVD
My husband and I both agree that this DVD is simply amazing!
We bought it for our 3 year old daughter and we are amazed with the results. After watching the cartoon every day for one week, my daughter basically learned the whole alphabet. I wouldn’t have believed it if …
Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …

To watch Madagaskar with my kids was a so pleasant movie adventure! Both my two boys enjoyed it very much. Me too! Finally I found one movie that is not violent for kids, and a film that tell one interesting story. We wath the movie in an Avant Premiere …

Movie: “Grandma’s Boy” (2006)
Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.
Alex (Covert) is a 35-year-old video game …
Movie Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror
At long last a DVD release for this Saturday afternoon television staple!

Sherlock Holmes movie
Sherlock Holmes stories have always been popular in the movie world, but I must say, that I really did not expect a movie like that to be made. I would have never thought of make a Sherlock Holmes movie as an action movie. The movie does not support the …
The Wild (movie)
To look at The Wild from a technical standpoint, the animation here was just fine. But from a story standpoint, it was hard for me to differentiate between The Wild, Lion King and Madagascar. All deal with the same issues roughly, especially The Wild and Lion King. Both deal …

The self-biographical film by Cameron Crowe in which a young music journalist gets to travel around america with a rock band and experience the same thing they do. Almost Famous is a film about growing up, being an individual, but also a very touching portrait of the people associated …

DNANgel Episode 3 (Anime)
DNAngel episode 3 has Daisuke trying to rescue Riku after she mysteriously disappears.
