The Siege
If you ever want an idea about how our government handled terrorist threats prior to 9/11, the movie The Siege is a good film.
Not only does it star everyone from Denzel Washington to Bruce Willis, it�s a movie that is so full of twists and turns you don�t know …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …

Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
Bedtime Stories movie
I have long been looking forward to seeing the movie “Bedtime Stories” starring the comedic actor Adam Sandler. However, I didn’t want to see it in the theatres when it came out because at the time I thought it might have been a
children’s movie as well as I did …

Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …

Nora
I watched this film last night, never even having heard of it before. It was made in 1999 and stars a very young looking Ewen McGregor and Susan Lynch. The film tells the story of the stormy relationship between the Irish writer James Joyce and his wife Nora, who …
As Good As It Gets movie
I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …

Naural Radiance Daily Moisturizer does more than just enrich your skin. It contains a darkening agent which slightly tans your skin with prolonged use. Unlike most sunless tanning moisturizer creams, Natural Radiance Daily Moisturizer will not leave your skin with an orange hue.
I had used this product once before, …
Ong Bak
It’s a martial-art action movie. Fantastic thai martial-art show, and just an average action film.
Honestly, everything is common. Standard story, nothing special on the effects, just an acceptable filming quality and not much of an acting. Even one of my friend made a joke after watching this movie. He …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.
The town, despite its extremeness in following unwritten rules, exemplifies a lot of our societies. The protagonist, enviably shepherds …
D.E.B.S (2004)
Chick flick alert! This movie is centered around for basically cheerleading girls who, through a secret test in their school passed to become a group of spies. The test itself is designed to test the candidates’ abilities to fight, lie, cheat and kill. Needless to say, these four passed …

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
No one dares mention the word classic without having this movie at the top of the list, doesn’t matter the genre, this movie surpasses all time and borders and remains to this day one of the best feature length movies ever created. The plot of this movie is very …
The Little Mermaid
My daughter has dozens of original Disney films in our library for her to watch. One of my favorites of these has to be the classic movie “The Little Mermaid.”
Now, I’ve read the original story (and several other versions) and the movie does clean things up a little bit. …
Scared silent
I watched this movie about a year ago on lifetime movie network. Although it is not one of my favorite movies that they play it is definately a movie worth watching. It had a very good story to it. It kept me entertained while watching the whole movie. I …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
Just my luck movie
I love watching romantic comedy movies and I watched the movie ‘Just my luck’ starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine in the lead roles. I really like the both of these actors’ work and in this movie too they didn’t disappoint me. The movie is a nice romantic comedy …

Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal
My wife and I were flipping channels the other day trying to find something that wasn’t a re-run we’ve seen 100 times before. After a frustrating search, we decided to watch the made-for-tv movie Fab Five Texas Cheerleading Scandal, which is apparently based on a true story we never …

Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
Mission Impossible movie
A new film version of the old cult rated tv series about a secret government agency executing sensitive missions, often concerning hostage rescues and similar. Jim Phelps is the leader of this agency, played by Jon Voight, and Tom Cruise plays the charming hero of the story, Ethan Hunt. …
Les Miserables movie
None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …
Love of Siam movie
If you guys have watched Love of Siam, a Thai movie with English subtitles, you would feel exactly like me. I wouldn’t say what the plot story main gist is all about but I was very surprised about the love sequence in this movie. I would say like …
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
Moll Flanders (movie)
Moll Flanders is a movie about a woman whose entire life is very sad. Moll spends most of her life in filth and as little more than a street person. What makes Moll Flanders shine is her spirit and determination to let nothing and no one break who she …
Movie Gomorrah
I had expected the movie —˜Gomorrah’ to be dark and violent, as the plot is about gangs in modern-day Naples, Italy, and it was certainly as I expected. What I hadn’t expected was that, along with the murder and drugs that are prominently featured in this sub-titled film, the …

I would like to recommend a film that my husband and I watch time and time again. Its called just like heaven. The film stars Reece Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo and John Heder. It is a great romantic comedy that is very well acted and directed. …
Harry Potter and the Sorceror
I’m home today because it’s Saturday and I can’t really afford to go out and do much more than sit around the house and watch movies all day.
One movie we ended up watching today was Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this …
High School Musical 2 movie
With the enormous success of High School Musical, Disney quickly made a sequel called appropriately enough High School Musical 2. Not messing with success, it’s basically the same cast, led by teen almost-sensations, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The movie starts as summer break is about to …
Role Models
Role Models is the latest comedy starring Paul Rudd, who actually co wrote and produced the film. The movie is advertised as a comedy similar to 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, which also stars Paul Rudd, but it isn’t as funny as those other movies.
Paul Rudd and …
The Pursuit of Happyness
I’m not really a big fan of Will Smith but I must admit he gives the performance of his career in this movie (even better than his portrayal of Ali). He was worthy of the Oscar nomination he received. I was in tears for most of the film. Directed …
Tammy and the Doctor
Sandra Dee is back again as swamp gal Tammy Tyree in Tammy and the Doctor. Debbie Reynolds began the Tammy trend by falling in love with accident crash victim and bachelor, Peter Brent. By the end of that movie, it looked like Tammy would soon be Mrs. …
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
I would have to say the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was a really good movie. When I first seen the movie I almost cried at how moving it was. It was like a real life situation and the struggles that normal people go through in life. The movie …
The Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie that may take you several times of watching before you really get all the little nuances that are going on. At least for me, that is what happened. I got the big picture right away, but it took several viewings to …
Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd (2003)
If you have never seen the original movie name Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, then you are going to be in for a treat as this movie is basically a prequel to that movie. This story tells the teenaged tale of how the two friends …
Robo Cop (2014 Film)
I remember hearing my share about the latest Robo Cop film. Many said the film was awesome and was better than the older, originals films, while others swore that the film sucked. So to say I decided to watch it for myself.
The problem with remakes of old movies …
The Fisher King
I saw “The Fisher King” recently and found it was great entertainment. I’ve always been a sucker for Robin Williams craziness and this is one of the craziest. Add to that Terry Gilliam as director and one would expect a completely wacky movie good for many laughs, but not …
Clean Slate (movie)
I have to admit, outside of Wayne�s World and Wayne�s World 2, I haven�t seen many Dana Carvey movies. But, after watching his film, Clean Slate, I think I�m going to have to see more.
Granted, Carvey wasn�t overly convincing as a private investigator. He just didn�t seem tough enough, …
Young at Heart movie
1954’s Young at Heart is one of my favorite movies. Interestly, though, I’ve changed how I liked it from when I was a little girl to how I like it as an adult. I always enjoyed it, but as a child, I wanted the resolution to the …
