P.S I love you Movie
I just watched P.S I love You movie last night and i was truly disappointed with the movie. It was totally different from Cecilia Ahern’s novel. I really love the novel and looking forward to watch the movie version but after watched it, i prefer the novel more.
The different …
Beyond Betrayal movie
A decade after playing lovers on Emerald Point N.A.S., Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey reunited to film this action drama, only this time around Anderson is no nice guy. In fact, this is probably the most violent portrayal I’ve seen of his, and I must be honest. …
Sideways movie
I am reviewing the movie, Sideways, which was released in 2005. This movie stars Paul Giamatti as wine lover, Miles. Thomas Haden Church plays his best friend, Jack, who is Miles’ complete opposite. Miles is a sensitive, caring, introvert whose life has taken a sad turn. …
The Moonstone,1996 movie
This movie is based on the mystery novel by Wilkie Collins. Keeley Hawes stars as Rachel Verinder, a rich young woman who receives a precious diamond called the Moonstone as a gift. Greg Wise (Willoughby from “Sense and Sensibility) plays her cousin Franklin Blake who returns from a long …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My wife and I ended up watching some Christmas movies the other day, including National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation; a movie that apparently has been out for 20 years now (making me feel old considering I remember it being at the theater).
Of the other Lampoon’s Vacation movies, this one is …
Unidentified Flying Oddball movie
Walt Disney Studios brought us Unidentified Flying Oddball in 1979. Since then, the movie has been re-released under the title of A Spaceman in King Arthur’s Court. The premise behind the movie is that an astronaut travels through time in his spacecraft and ends up back in …
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)
This is the story of a priest that encountered evil times while serving in World War II, things that left him to question his faith, things that to this day still haunts him. He has chosen a different profession and is now a respected and noted archeologist, while on …
St. Trinian’s
The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …
Birth (2004)
If you believe in movies about reincarnation and stuff like that, you would love to watch Birth (2004). This movie features Nicole Kidman, and she plays a very depressed and sad wife who still mourns for her husband after 10 years after his demise. Her family persuaded …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
Movie Exorcist
One of the spookiest movies that we have ever seen was the original Exorcist. In this movie it hit on everything that would scare you.
There is this young girl who travels with her mother to live in Washington D.C., the house that they move into in Georgetown …
The Insider
I thought The Insider was a great movie. This movie was very exciting and interesting. It shows how dangerous being an insider with info can be. This is a story about a man who is an insider at the Tobacco industry. He works for the Tobacco industry, but he knows …
Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010 film)
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 …
I am Legend
Just seen *I am Legend*
starring Will Smith
Wonderful acting by this man AGAIN!!
After *Pursuit of Happiness* didnt think THIS MAN could top it but… he DOES 10 FOLD!!!
Its about a scientist ( Smith) that helps create a *cure* for cancer .. but then something goes wrong, much like the T-virus …
Movie: Star Trek First Contact
I had the baby early this morning and ended up trying to find a good movie to watch. I ended up watching a film I hadn’t seen in a while; Star Trek First Contact.
I’m actually not a huge fan of the Star Trek Next Generation films like this one. …
Angels and Demons the Movie
I was really excited to watch this movie because of the trailer and because I was unable to finish that book. Instead of going through the pages again, I decided to watch this film instead.
First of all, the film is not dragging so it is a plus point for …
Hackers movie
“Hackers” was one of my favorite movies which the famous actress Angelina Jolie starred in. I first watched it one Saturday evening a couple years ago on the SciFi cable channel and enjoyed it thoroughly. In fact, right now I’m thinking of watching it again.
I would not call …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Jealous Jokester movie
When Raymond Burr couldn’t film his role as Perry Mason, several movies for television were produced without him, utilizing other Hollywood stars as A-class lawyers. I really wished they hadn’t done that. It was a waste and a sham. They would have done better to have …

This DVD set is the final season of the show Felcity. Felecity is a bout a girl, who follows her highschool crush to NY to go to college. She starts out as a medical student and though finding herself changes her major to art, and then back to medicine. …
Stepford Wives
I have seen almost all the movies of Nicole Kidman because she’s one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. So I was really excited to see Stepford Wives because aside from her, Bette Midler is also in the movie. Based on a book by Ira Levin and a remake of …
Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone
This is it. The starting of the legend. I had briefly heard the name of Harry Potter, ut paid no attention to it. That is, until I saw this movie. After that, I was hooked. On the movie, the characters, the world of Harry Potter.
I think this first movie …
Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
The Princess Diaries movie
I saw The Princess Diaries in the theater when it came out in 2001, and I have seen it a couple times since then. Anne Hathaway (the main character) is one of my favorite actresses (due, in part, to this movie). It is about a girl who …
Scarface movie
When Tony comes to Miami, Florida, things are never the same. Tony is a Cuban refugee who tries to start life over in a new country. Al Pacino is brilliant in this role as Tony, who starts out with nothing and becomes a huge drug lord. Tony wants to …
I Love You Man movie
I Love You Man is about a man who’s about to get married but finds he doesn’t have anyone to be his best man or part of his wedding party. He’s been a girlfriend kind of a guy his whole life and never really established any male friendships along …
The Pink Panther Movie
This movie was over the top kookie. I don’t think it was as good as the original Pink Panther movie, because the clumsiness of the detective in this version (played by Steve Martin) was just a bit too obvious and not as offhand as in the original.
The curtain costumes …
Happy Feet Movie
I’ve watched Happy Feet for about three times. It’s a fine movie, nothing special to me. Although lots of my friends think it’s a very funny movie. I can’t find anything so funny in the movie though.
It’s probably good for children, I don’t know, I can’t …
Just Friends movie
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Just Friends, starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds.
In this film, Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brandert, a dorky overweight teenager turned superstar. In high school, he was enormously overweight and in love with his best friend Jamie, who only saw them as friends, …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
I’ve seen Renée Zellweger do comedy from the Bridget Jones series, do drama from the movie Cold Mountain and Cinderella Man, and a little bit of both in New in Town and lots more movies she’s been so famous for, but for the first time ever I was surprised …
Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
House of Wax movie
Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …
Movie: Back to School
Synopsis: A successful business man (Rodney Dangerfield) decides to attend college in an effort to convince his son not to drop out of school and becomes an instant success with his new classmates.
What I liked about this movie: A lot of people don’t like Dangerfield’s comedy. i’m not one …
Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …
Crazy in Alabama
I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …
Movie Midnight Express
Midnight Express is one of the most dramatic movies I have seen. This is the true story of Billy Hayes who has been jailed for drug trafficking in Turkey. Within the walls of the prison, Billy Hayes (played by late Brad Davis) will live a lifetime nightmare. The films …
Tales of the Crypt: Bordello of Blood
In the late nineteen nineties and the early 2000s, I became a very big fan of the series and the Tales of the Crypt movies. One of my favourite movies at the time was the one called Bordello of Blood. I watched it recently though and thought that it …
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is another comic coming to the big screen that I sort of anticipated. One of my friends is working in a cinema as a ticket seller, and she managed to give me 2 sneak preview tickets for this show for …
The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
Black Cloud
‘Black cloud’ is a movie directed by Rick Schroder. The actors are Richard, Justin etc.. Black cloud is a young Navajo man. He wants to get a chance to prepare himself in order to get a chance in the boxing matches. This film is nothing but the way he …
Maternal Instincts
This is one of my favorite movies that lifetime has ever played. It’s not my favorite but it definately is one of them. It’s about a woman whose husband goes ahead tells the doctor to do a hysterectomy on her. Well she really wanted a baby and it seems …
Hulk (2003 movie)
I have always been a fan of the Hulk comic book and TV series, so i was looking forward to see the movie. When I did see the movie, It was a total disappointment to see how they have tarnished the reputation of the beloved bringer of misunderstood destruction. …
World War Z (movie)
I’m generally not really a fan of zombie movies, especially those apocalyptic ones that detail what the end of the world would be like if a great part of the human race were turned into bloodthirsty zombies. However, when the movie World War Z was released I found that …
Airheads
I have not seen this movie being aired on any of the cable television channels I have in ages. In fact, I remember that the last time I saw it was some time in either the late nineteen nineties at my grandmother’s house or in the very early 2000s. …
The Mississippi Gambler (1953)
Unfortunately, they rarely show “The Mississippi Gambler” on television much nowadays, but, when it does come on, I consider it a personal treat, since Tyrone Power is one of my favorite classic screen actors.
In this movie, he plays Mark Fallon, a skilled riverboat gambler from an old …
The Prince and Me Movie
This is one of my favorite films, it’s one of todays classic fairytale of an ordinary girl who meets a stunning handsome prince. It’s almost like Cinderella, but in a young adult version. I always like stories about fairytales and rags-to-riches stories.
Paige meets Eddie a charming Danish prince at …
The Wedding Date
The Wedding Date is an entertaining romantic comedy. The storyline is: a woman must attend her sister’s wedding in England and her ex-fiancé is the best man. Not wanting to attend alone and wanting to appear completely over the ex she hires an escort to pose as …
Electric Company Vol 1
Three cheers for The Children’s Television Workshop! They have released a boxed set of complete, unedited episodes selected from the 5 year run of this brilliant children’s television series. Even though 31 years have passed since the program has left the air, the program is still as interesting today …
300 Movie
I suuuuuper love this movie! The concept, the visuals, the sounds, the costumes, the actors, the abs… Although I already knew what was going to happen to them, I still loved how they came to that grand finale. And even if Leonidas was supposedly killed by a rain of …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
