We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …

This movie is so breath-taking…animation, story, characters, direction…it’s a spectacular piece of work.

This is where the daughter’s adventures begin as …

It’s amazing how many old films I’ve seen lately, including this movie, Solomon and Sheba. Actually, I want I think about most is that my shepherd-collie was named after Solomon by my sister, so when I cam across this movie, I decided to give it a watch. …

“The Brothers Grimm” was released in 2005 and–at first glance–seemed to be an intelligent take on those stories that many of us grew up hearing about. I had learned, by way of living for several years with a roommate who majored in film, to be skeptical. If I had …

The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …

It is quite unusual to see Renee Zellwegger in a horror movie like case 39, to say the least. When I think about Renee Zellwegger I am coming up with images from Bridget Jones Diary or Jerry Maguire. But she did it, and she did it brilliantly. She brought …

I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …

When watching the movie Earth Girls are Easy, you might be fooled into thinking you�re going to watch a hilarious movie. The reality is, outside of seeing Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldbloom in early roles, there really aren�t many redeeming qualities to this film. Unless of course …

“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …

What was unusual, and what I really liked about this movie, unlike …

Action movies aren’t always the types of movies I like to watch. But if my boyfriend can get me to sit down and watch them, then I will. Iron Man is in all those comics that he reads, so I wasn’t really interested in the movies because I really …

It’s like a mystery/suspense/thriller type movie with the mob theme thrown in. I honestly did not expect the movie to be as great as I though it was. The first 15 minutes or so, it will look like a cheap, predictable cliche mob flick, but it gets a lot …

Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …

I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …

I felt in the mood to watch a paranormal horror movie that would probably keep me awake and paranoid for the rest of the night, but I couldn’t exactly figure out what to watch. It was then that I remembered that the movie “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” seemed to …

The words that describe best the movie “The English Patient” is magical and fascinating. This movie, which was nominated for 12 Oscars and won 9 of them, is the director’s Anthony Minghella best movie.
What is so fascinating about this movie is that it consists of two love stories - …

Control (2007)is a true rendition on the live of the late singer, Ian Curtis from Joy Division. He was a singer and his tale was told in this black and white movie. I’ve always wondered what it’s like for singers and the likes to suffer from depression …

I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …

Ice Princess is one of the movies, I consider an inspiration for youngster and adult. It is about the struggles a student must overcome, in order to go through college or university. What lies beyond high school? One may either join the workforce or take the first step in …

I thought this movie was extremely entertaining. Rob Gordon, (expertly portrayed by John Cusack) is in the midst of a nasty split from his current girlfriend, Laura (played by Iben Hjejle, best of luck pronouncing that!). He is mad at the world and cannot understand why he cannot succeeed …

From 1961, The Guns of Navarone is one of the most famous wartime films, and it has quite the cast to help make it that way. Gregory Peck has the starring role as Capt. Keith Mallory. Also present are Richard Harris, Anthony Quayle, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, …
