I love book to movie adaptations. That’s because, there is a certain kind of creativity that I can get whenever that happens. Watching Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow, I have a very fun time watching the performance acting by Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. In this movie, both …

Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.

Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …

It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …

Wow! This movie is definitely a much better film than you would ever expect from the goofy premise. A film that basically is about cursed hair extensions I wasn’t expecting much but then again I was. Sion Sono is a brilliant, disturbed and talented director who …

This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …

Alice in Wonderland is the newest release on this old tale but it is a new twist on the story that we have all heard before. The man behind the magic this time is Tim Burton.

One thing I did not understand about my high school was that everyone who was someone watched the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants. By that I mean everyone from the hottest girls in the school to the baddest guys in the boys school and so on. At that time I never …

This is a very innovative gangster movie from director Seijun Suzuki. Leading actor Tetsuya Watari does a brilliant job as the hero of the movie, dressed in a blue (!) suit, “Phoenix Tetsu”. Everything is beautifully shot in color, and the action sequences are excellent for a 1960s movie. …

I am Legend is a unique movie. Actor Will Smith, the main character, does an excellent job as always. The movie is about the of a military scientist you believes he is the last person on Earth not affected by a horibble mutated virus. Apparently he is immune to …

I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …

This latest Martin Scorsese movie is definitely not his greatest creation but is a compelling watch for its grabbing suspense and magnificent plot. Shutter Island is a movie that has many wonderful performances and excellent direction. The setting of the island in midst of the ocean and intriguing ambience …

Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …

When we rented the film Shutter this weekend I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I knew it was a remake of another film made in Asia somewhere and, while some movies (like The Ring) translate out to be terrifying. Others (like the Grudge) aren’t nearly as good.
With Shutter, …

For those of you going through a midlife crisis (like me), you can easily identify with Eat Pray Love. It stars Julia Roberts, who after going through some difficult times, travels to Italy to eat, to India to pray, and finally to Bali to fall in love. It is …

It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …

The happening is one of the worst rated movies of M. Night Shyamalan however I actually enjoyed it though I cannot call it a favorite. The movie is basically about plants giving off a chemical that causes people to commit suicide.
I can see why it has such horrible …

10,000BC is currently where I draw the line for horrible contemporary cinema and while the quality of Doomsday doesn’t fall quite so far, it’s perhaps in a similar ballpark. Personally I hate both parks and balls but I use this analogy with the intention of making it clear …

I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.

Birdman aka “The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance”, is a surprisingly dark-comedy film denoting the struggles of faded Hollywood star Riggan Thompson (Michael Keaton). Thompson played the eponymous “Birdman” an exceptionally popular superhero, in a series of blockbuster movies decades prior. Whilst being tortured by the internal voice of “Birdman”, …

American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …

It is especially fun to watch this DVD with my group …

With all the campaigns on the internet and coverage from the press, it was impossible to escape the urge to watch the film. It’s awards season and anyone ignorant not to know what “Black Swan” is must be living in a different planet. I didn’t think this …

Before this week, my exposure to Tex Ritter was just knowing that he was a singing cowboy and that he was John Ritter’s father. In fact, watching him, all I could think about was John. I saw John in Tex so much that it was almost distracting. …

This movie reminds me to The Lord Of The Rings movie environment. Interesting special effect and pleased in a real creative story. Merges story in illusive world with reality life. This movie draws fantasy world by a child names Jesse. Illusion nature that is of course we usually experienced …

I was highly disappointed by this movie. It had such potential, starring comic giants Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder, and Jon Lovitz. But it failed to entertain.
Gus (Schneider), Richie (Spade), and Clark (Heder) are three misfit friends who love baseball. One day, as they’re getting ready to play, …

I’m not into politics much at all, but like most of America, I was glued to much of the Watergate hearings. All the President’s Men is the story of how we got to that point, and it’s superbly done. I remember when I first saw it in …

Mangal pandey, one of the so-called most awaited movies, disappoints the viewer miserably. It is slow and dragging, boring us to death. The story line is weak. You don’t even feel interested, leave alone inspired. The item number in it is disgusting!Rani looks unconvincing as a prostitue and Amisha …

I think the collaboration between Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson is kind of cool and awesome, and in this movie, Fool’s Gold they collaborated once more in this title, Fool’s Gold. If you have forgotten the other movie which they have starred together, it would be ‘How to Lose …

Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …

When this movie first came out, I had no idea there was even a game called Resident Evil. I had not met my husband, who interduced me to the games, so the difference between the game and movie had not clicked with …

Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …

I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …
