Gangs of New York (Movie)
I recently watched a movie on television that I have not seen in many years, and I completely remembered why I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen back then. Gangs of New York got quite a bit of flak for being extremely violent, …

Black Butler: Season One, Anime
Okay, so I just finished season one of Black Butler and I am having such an emotional turmoil. I have developed such a strong emotional attachment to the characters because of their distinct personalities, mainly Ciel and Sebastian (the master and the butler, respectively). I absolutely love this series …

Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.
The movie is about a young girl, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) who goes to bed as an uncool thirteen-year-old and wakes up the next morning in an unfamiliar …
Spraggue movie
Michael Nouri has the title role in the 1984 film, Spraggue. Glynis Johns, James Cromwell, and Mark Herrier co-star. This has all the earmarks of a TV pilot, complete with title of “Murder for Two.” It may have been shown on one of the mysteries of …
When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …
Road to Utopia movie
Road to Utopia was the fourth movie in the Road picture series. Released in 1946 (but filmed in ‘44), Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour starred in the film. This time a couple of different things happened, beginning with a narrator (Robert Benchley) being used to …
The Unexplained: Hauntings (NR, 1997) DVD
I will confess that I was expecting something a little bit longer. Showing for only 50 minutes, I was looking for a bit more depth. This History Channel program dives into the supernatural, and spends a few minutes with different people who have had experience …
Harold and Kumar go to whitecastle
This is not your typical comedy. It is a comedy with a purpose. I laughed so much until I cried. The plot consists of two best friends who get an overwhelming craving for whitecastle burgers. They refused to stop at nothing to get their fulfillment. After so many mishaps …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …
Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …

Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …

Brubaker movie
Robert Redord stars as Brubaker, an unconventional warden who wants to bring reform to the prison system. He’s met with disapproval from just about everyone, including the inmates, but he remains true to his vision.
My favorite scene is the beginning, when Redford as Henry Brubaker first enters the …

The Good Mother (movie)
One of my guilty pleasures is watching some of the more modern Lifetime movies, especially if I think that they have fairly interesting plots and fairly tolerable acting. These can be a little hard to find especially in a sea of low budget movies that Lifetime seems to bring. …
LORO, movie (2018)
The beauty of individual things is undeniable only in our heads. Someone is sure that he ties his shoelaces beautifully or hangs stuff in the closet. The Italian Paolo Sorrentino is not sure of anything. He knows. He knows how to beautifully shoot a girl by the pool, shaving her …
Alien Versus Predator Requim
My husband and I saw this movie last night. The movie started out with the viewer knowing quite a bit of the continuing saga of the alien and predator saga. It did pick up where the last left off with the predator having captured some specimens of …
Veggietales: Lord of the Beans movie
Synopsis: Toto (Junior Asparagus) is given a bean with the power to grant him any wish. Rather than using it right away, he goes on a journey to learn why he was given his gift.
What I liked about this movie: I have watched and reviewed other veggie tale movies …
Willow (1988 Film)
The 1988 film “Willow” was not only a movie that is suitable for family time, but one that has magic and wonder, and romance, and a whole lot of exciting adventure with a hero who didn’t think he was anything more than a wannabe magician. While this film was …
Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
Fame (2009 movie)
I didn’t jump at watching the movie Fame like a few of the younger people I know did, because I could remember watching the television series from the eighties in the early nineties when I was a little girl; and based on what I saw when the movie …
Movie District 9
The one word I can use to describe District 9 is terrible. Granted, I am not a science fiction fan, and I generally won’t even watch any movie that involves aliens, space ships, or inter-planetary travel at all. My husband brought two DVDs home, and I popped it in …
The Prestige movie
The Prestige is a very well made movie. It has become known as a movie about stage magicians, but I would not hesitate to call it a psychological thriller, because the essence of the story is not in magic tricks (although those abound, and are fascinating). We go deep …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
Ghost Town
It has been a rare moment since Ben Stiller’s comical movie, Night at the Museum, since I’ve been pretty interested in another comical movie. And a very funny one at that. And that is none other than Ghost Town. This is super funny, very entertaining and definitely …

This is an awesome workout DVD. It is actually five workouts ‘ Learn and Burn, 20 Minute Workout, Turbo Sculpt, Ab Jam and Cardio Party. I really like the Learn and Burn, which help you easy into the program and give you a really good understanding of …
Sanctum Movie
This movie really interested and intrigued me since I love swimming and everything outdoors and my husband was a licensed diver himself, and we wanted to watch this since we thought we could relate to the movie, and we did. The movie is called Sanctum and they say the …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin and the chipmunks was the cutest movie for the whole family to see. If your looking for a really good family movie this is it. It has a great plot and very useful meaning. It was very amusing and had situations that even smaller kids could understand. It …
Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …
Blockbuster Total Access By Mail
I have had Blockbuster Total Access by mail for three months now and I love it. It is way cheaper than renting from the store which is great. We all need to save some money and during the hot summer months movies are a great way to have family …
The Gods Must Be Crazy
I wonder where the actors of this 1980 histerically funny movie are now. What I was referring to was the movie “Gods Must Be Crazy I, which had an equally funny sequel Gods Must Be Crazy II in 1989.
I could not tell in the beginning of …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand
X-Men 3: The Last Stand stars Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Kelsey Grammer.
I was so excited to see this movie after seeing the first two, that perhaps my standards were too high. After seeing sequels of this genre like Star Wars and The …
