The Ruins (UR, 2008) movie
Again we have the slasher thriller that isn’t quite a slasher. In this film we have the typical group of college students who decide that while on their trip to Mexico, they should explore some ancient ruins. They are not concerned with the fact that they …
Ratatouile movie
I like this movie so much. I enjoy so much how a rat was able to change a life of an orphan and was the sole key for his success. I enjoy the movie so much since the story line was a little fresh. I love how the plot …
Bring It On: All or Nothing
Another cheerleading movie. And a Bring It On one too. I believe that this movie might be the third one. So, my parents bought the movie Bring It On All or Nothing on DVD for my little sister. It was released on August 8 and they bought it the …
Movie Dead Birds
My cousin brought this movie by for me to watch the other day because she has been borrowing a lot of mine. I just watched it a couple of hours ago. It was a pretty good movie all around. I think it could have been better but overall it …
Hancock
After watching the movie “Hancock”, you will understand immediately while Will Smith expressed interest in interpreting this role. “Hancock” is a superhero movie without the superhero clichés. This together with the talent of actors, Charlize Theron and Jason Batman and great action moments, make this movie one of this …
Indian Jones The Last crusade
Harrison Ford is a very good actor and he portrayed one of my favorite all time charachters Indiana Jones. I watched Indiana Jones the Last Crusade last night. In this movie Sean Connery played Indiana’s father and as always these movies are fast moving comical and interesting.
In …
The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer
The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer is a sweet movie that won the Academy Award for Best Writing, Original Screenplay by Sidney Sheldon. The man is a phenomenal writer, and it obviously showed in this motion picture. It’s full of charm and wit.
The phenomenal Shirley Temple plays a …

This movie starred Natalie Protman as Anne Boleyn the future queen of England and …
Grand Finale: FIFA World Cup 2006 movie
Positives: Comprehensive, narrative, informative and captivating.
Negatives: Too short, concise but could do with a bit more detail, narrow topic focus.
As an avid football enthusiast, it came as no surprise at all that I would look forward to viewing this documentary-type motion picture of a past FIFA World Cup, 2006, …
Inkheart
Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …
Doomsday (2008)
To be quite honest, I was expecting a lot more from Neil Marshall than this. After the likes of “Dog Soldiers” and “The Descent”, you’d have thought he’d have something more imaginative to offer up than this pretty weak and often downright silly science fiction yarn that rarely impresses …
Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)
Diary of a Mad Black Woman, directed by Darren Grant is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for drug content, thematic elements, crude sexual references and some violence. The original release date was February 25, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre …
Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
Remember Me (2010)
I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Shadow of Malevolence
I’ve been enjoying the Clone Wars cartoon not so much because it is Star Wars but because it’s hard to find anything which feels like epic Science Fiction, and Shadow of Malevolence, the third episode in the season, manages to get that feel of a big universe better than …
Ivan the Terrible movie
One of Sergei Eisenstein’s sound films, in which a historical epic about the ruthless emperor Ivan is told. It is a very powerful visual film, and Eisenstein puts all of his effort on effects, magnificent camerawork and a dynamic style of editing. All of this is a brilliant as …
Bad Boys 2, movie
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence did it so well the first time, that I couldn’t wait to see them reprise their roles as Drug Agents working for the Miami P.D. However, this film was lacking the story and power of the first, but it still had enough chemistry between …
The Gravedancers
My wife and I are watching a movie on Sci Fi called The Gravedancers. At first, it sounded like it would be a dumb movie; similar to movies we’ve seen dozens of times. However, it turned out to be halfway decent.
The movie focuses on three friends who visit a …
The Movie Sweet Home Alabama
As a southern girl myself I was really excited to see this movie. It promised to be sweet, witty and funny. I was so sure that it would be because the trailer looked funny. I did go see it and have to admit that I was a little disappointed …
Must Love Dogs. A Movie
I recently bought the movie “Must Love Dogs” from Big Lots for only three dollars and I really thought it was cute. I had never seen it before and my thought was that for only three dollars if it was bad than I could just throw it away. …
The Shining (1980 Psychological Horror Film)
Horror is the one genre I try to avoid the most. Ever since I was young I always tell myself never to watch a horror film because all it does to me is scare me. And I don’t want to be scared. I don’t want to have trouble sleeping at …
Without A Clue Movie
This movie creates a funny twist to the famous Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson duo, with Dr. Watson being the mastermind and the genius and Holmes nothing but a fictional character created by him and represented by a hired actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine). While Kincaid gets all the …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Belligerent Ghost
I am reviewing The Case of the Belligerent Ghost, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Terminator Salvation DVD
I am not a big Terminator fan because I always consider that a pretty superficial trilogy of movies but this one really surprised me. Actually when I saw Christian Bale was playing John Connor I immediately knew this film is going to be better than any other Terminator before …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I am a big fan of the whole Jason Bourne series. I really liked the 1st two Bourne movies. But wow I was just impressed with this final and 3rd movie The Bourne Ultimatum. The Bourne Ultimatum ties in all the loose ends of the other Bourne movies. I really …
Movie Hairspray
“Hairspray” is the movie where we see the great actor, John Travolta interpreting the role of a happily married house wife and mother with wig and all. The incredible thing about Travolta in this movie is that he really does a great job in his role. The make up …

The animated animals are the focal point of this tale of a little fawn who grows to be a great prince of the forest. Growing with him are Thumper, a rabbit who tends to speak before thinking, and Flower, the shy skunk. Alongside this trio are a score of …
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I must admit that I am not an admirer of Uma Thurman’s movies. When I watched the trailer of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” I thought that it was a cute fantasy movie with a romantic touch, however I ended up not enjoying this movie.
I must admit that I enjoyed watching …
The Greatest Game Ever Played Movie
So the “The Greatest Game Ever Played” got a 7/10 in my book. I’ll let you know why. First, the movie is based around an inspired golfer, who is poor, and is discriminated for being such by the country club. His dad doesn’t support his dreams of becoming a …
Star Wars: Episode 3- Revenge of the Sith
OK, so I absolutely bashed the first two prequels in the series. And while Episode 3 does deserve some hate, it’s not near the level of hate I gave to the first two. Hayden Christiansen still can’t act and he and Natalies relationship is still one of …
The Client (1994)

Monsters Movie (2010)
I just saw the movie Monsters last night and I don’t really quite know how to categorize it. I cannot put it in bad movie file, but then I cannot recommend to watch it. I can’t even quite tell if I can enjoyed it. The feeling this movie has …
A Good Year movie
“A Good Year” (2006) is a good movie. It stars Russell Crowe as Max Skinner and is based on a novel written by pro-Provence writer Peter Mayle. Crowe plays a financial wizard from London who inherits his Uncle Henry’s (Albert Finney) vineyard and country home in Provence.
Skinner originally goes …
Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …
Rendition
“Rendition” is a great movie about terrorism and justice. This is a movie that touches your heart and makes you cry, but most importantly makes you think about the world we are living in. I truly hope that this movie receives several awards because it truly deserves it.
In a …
My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)

Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
The Social Network Movie (2010)
This movie is called The Social Network and it features the real-life story behind the billionaires of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin. This movie is really dramatic and when I watched this the movie house was all filled and I was surprised that Facebook has become so popular …
Flood! movie
The seventies were big on disaster films, and Flood! was right smack in the middle of it. Obviously, the natural disaster at the heart of this movie is a flood, made possible by a lot of rain and an official who refuses to open the dam gates.
Flood! is …
Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.
“Georgia Rule” deals …
Firstborn,1984 movie
This is another depressing movie, of the kind I dislike. I mean, life can be depressing enough, so why take its darkest things onto the screen and drag them on and on? Not that I’m totally opposed to movies showing negative reality, but come on, sometimes enough is enough.
Anyway. …

The Babadook - Horror Movie (2014)
There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …
Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
