Guys and Dolls
I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …

Changeling
This is a must see for anybody that’s intrigued by anything that’s based on true life events. Knowing that, took the movie to a whole new level for me. It was one of the best movies I have seen in awhile and was so good that I couldn’t get …
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
The 2004 removie of “The Manchurian Candidate” stands out among remakes of movies in that in many ways it is better than the original movie. There are differences between the two, some good, some bad. The removie seems to run longer than the original, and it does, but only …
Days of Darkness
Watching Days of Darkness totally scared the hell out of me. I find the storyline very scary and in fact, if I were to be one of the characters, I would faint several times already. The cover of this DVD movie is also very scary and don’t let …

Fire up movie
Fire Up was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen so far. I love everything about it. You’re going to enjoy watching it. The movie is a comedy and it’s just right for High School or college age viewers. The theme is more towards young people rather than an older …
Mystic Pizza
Mystic Pizza stars the very talented and gorgeous Julia Roberts and when I looked at the DVD cover of this movie, it is really gorgeous with a nice illustration picture altogether. Annabeth Gish stars too and I think the acting’s awesome.
3 sisters with different lives to lead and their …

Based on Katherine Paterson’s classic novel, this is the story of Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a boy who’s something of an outcast at school and at home (he is the only boy among four sisters). When a new girl moves in across the road, it’s initially bad news for …

Altered
I first watched this low budget movie, Altered during the year 2006. A bunch of friends had managed to return safely to their hometown but all’s not that well actually because one of them was ‘retained’ by the aliens since they chose only 1 out of them all.
I think …
Blue Valentine Movie
Blue Valentine has a few good moments that I took with me, and the message is powerful. Yet, watching it was not an easy thing to do. It was beyond boring, it was dreadful, slow paced, and at times unbearable. The only reason why I and my friends kept …
The Forgotten (movie)
The Forgotten is a movie you will want to forget. Okay, in fairness to The Forgotten and the people who made the film as well as the actors playing in it, it’s not that bad. The Forgotten is a good rainy day movie where you can sit with your …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda is one of the most wonderful attacks on the kung fu genre. Dreamworks did an excellent job in combining animation, kung fu and of course comedy.The whole movie made my jaw somewhat hurt from all that laughing not to mention the oohs and aahs during the …
The movie Snow White
Probably one of the most famous films of all time Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was one of the most iconic films ever made. Now a true Disney classic , Snow White is a movie that has lived on in the hearts of women everywhere. I personally …
Torn Apart
Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …
Gladiator: Anatomy of a Prison Murder (R, 2002)
This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
After a long time, I had the oppurtunity to watch a Shahrukh Khan Film. A romantic comedy film that sometimes brings the viewers to tears. I felt that some of the facts are so real in the world and that made me shed some tears. Good movie with …
Samantha Jones, character of Sex and the City
Are you a big fan of Sex and the City? Which character from Sex and the City that you like most? Besides Carrie Bradshaw, the main lead, I always give my two thumbs up for Samantha Jones for her confidence, independence and her bravery in sexual life.
Samantha Jones is …
License to wed Movie
License to Wed is a mediocre romantic comedy about an engaged couple who are forced by their minister to undergo a pre marital course that is very difficult and and breaks them up. The minister is Robin Williams who cannot act in any movie without being ridiculous …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …

The Grudge (movie)
I watched this movie when it came out with my cousin. I went over to her house and she rented it so we watched it together. It was kind of scary throughout the movie but I don’t remember being all that scared. There are a lot more scarier …
To The Devil, A Daughter (R, 1976)
I rented “To The Devil A Daughter” for two reasons: Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. I have always liked Lee’s presence in films, especially The Wicker Man (the original). He had this air about him that was both seductive and a little creepy. …
Chill Out Scooby Doo
I finally got a chance to watch the Scooby Doo movie Chill Out Scooby Doo with my daughter this past weekend. It turned out to be a pretty funny full length film.
Basically, Scooby and the gang find themselves investigating a mystery about a Yeti in the Himalayas. But, I …
Opera movie
Dario Argento’s film begins in the most magnificent way I have ever seen. With a constantly moving camera Argento reveals certain images that fills me with excitement and suspense. It seems to go on and on, just until the camera stops, and somebody gets brutally murdered. This murder could …
Friday
I think Friday is a great movie. The movie stars Ice Cube and he does a great job of acting in this movie. I really like the fact that this movie shows us how life in the hood really is. I think the movie was very well written and well …
Stargate SG-1 Continuum
The latest effort from the Stargate SG-1 camp is a direct to DVD movie called Stargate Continuum. Along with the regulars from the final season of the SG-1 television series, Richard Dean Anderson returned.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie, though oddly enough, I prefer SG-1’s first direct to DVD …
George of the Jungle movie
This is one of Brendan Fraser’s best comedies and is a great film for the family to watch.
Basically a spoof of Tarzan, Fraser plays George, a young child abandoned in the jungle and raised by apes. He’s not too bright and is very clumbsy but has a good heart …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an attracting and unique movie with a brilliant idea to combine cartoon and real world. It is not a movie about Bugs Bunny and Brendan Fraser while they act in the same scene (Looney Tunes:Back in Action) but about a hole where every cartoon who enters …
Hell or High Water (2016 Western Heist Film)
2016 is coming to a close, I have been in agreement with my mind to choose the possibly best film of the year to close another trip around the sun.
I initially planned to watch Sully, although later in my choosing I decided to watch a deeper story. Reviews pointed out …
Past the Bleachers
Past the Bleachers is a poignant and wonderful 1995 TV movie that starred Richard Dean Anderson and Glynnis O’Connor as parents trying to move on with their lives after their son had died. It’s a trying time. The two are trying to have another baby, but Anderson’s …
Get Him to the Greek (2010) movie
This movie is going to be the smash hit of the summer with out a doubt. It is the newest Judd Apatow movie so if you are a fan of his style of comedy than this will be a treat for you. With Russell Brand, Jonah Hill and a …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …
The Birds movie
The Birds is a movie about people on an island where the birds, for no reason, go wild and begin attacking everyone. The Birds starts off quite normally, with a beautiful young woman shopping at a pet store for Mynah birds. That is the irony of this film, and …
Tropic Thunder, Thunderously Funny
If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …

The original release date was June 21, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Mystery/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Tom …
Take Me Home Tonight (2011 Movie)
This is one of those movies that wastes all of it’s good scenes in the trailer to entice people to come see it. When you actually watch the whole movie, you’ll realize you’ve already seen all the good parts and you’re left with a mediocre, forgettable movie.
I missed this …
Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …
Penny Dreadful, horror film
Wow, the tension in this movie is unbelieveable. One of the 8 Films To Die For, horrfest 2006, films that didn’t make it into the movie theaters. Stars Mimi Rogers. About a girl who has a fear of being in cars, due to a fatal car accident involving …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …
Pitch Perfect, movie
This movie was pretty good. I won’t have that much to say about it. Even though it was a well-adjusted movie it wasn’t the best, and improvements could be made to it. This isn’t so much about the movie belonging to a specific genre than it is about music. …
It’s A Wonderful Life - Film 1947
For me, It’s A Wonderful Life has three big no-no’s, firstly my mother loves films like this, secondly it is basically a romance and lastly it’s very old fashioned and in black and white —“ but really I should not hold that against it! It’s a collectors edition …
The Devil Wears Prada
I was a bit bored last night because the baby was awake and I couldn’t seem to find anything on TV. So, I ended up going to one of our movie channels and watching the Devil Wears Prada once again.
You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
My fiance and I saw this movie this weekend. I adore the Indiana Jones movies and used to play ‘Indiana Jones’, when I was a kid with my friends. Of course I’m a girl so I had a mad crush on Harrison Ford.
I loved the fact that they made …
Halloween 2 movie
Rob Zombie returns with the follow up to his remake of the seminal slasher film. Last time, he made a terrible job of the remake and this time round he makes an even crappier job with its sequel. Well, that isn’t really fair. The awful flashback sequences from the …
