My Fair Lady movie
One of the most classical musicals of all time is the marvelous My Fair Lady with Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. I can’t even imagine anyone but Harrison in this movie. I’m so used to his style of talk-singing that it all seems very logical and natural …
Cowboys And Aliens movie
Hopefully you have loving friends and/or family members who have already warned you to stay away from this epic abomination, but in case you don’t-or if you are actually an adult considering seeing a movie whose very title screams “AWFUL!” louder than an atomic blast-DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. …

Schindler’s List Movie 1993

Blue Jasmine (2013 Comedy-Drama Film)

The Movie “Tangled” from Disney Studios

Music and Lyrics
I went to this movie because I usually like Drew Barrymore movies and I also have liked Hugh Grant in other movies. I actually quite enjoyed this movie, wherein Hugh Grant plays a washed up 80s boyband singer and Drew Barrymore plays, well, I’m not certain what her job …
Johnny English - Film 2008
Not being a fan of either Rowan Atkinson (who plays Johnny English) nor a fan of James Bond, it often surprises me that this DVD version of the film is in my collection at all. Every so often when the mood is right it is taken out and …
Godzilla Vs. Destroyer
When I was growing up, Godzilla was the ultimate movie monster. After seeing a more recent version of the series, Godzilla Vs. Destroyer, I am starting to see why he never won an Oscar.
The plot of the movie itself was decent. He once again has to fight a monster, …
Flightplan
I watched Flightplan yesterday shown on the local TV channel and it is so good to see such a good actress Jodie Foster, acting once more.
I know that this was a movie that was shown years back but somehow or rather, it is just so good to be …
Source Code movie
This movie was one hell of a ride. Although it didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end as it did for some viewers, I was nervous, excited, and always curious as to the plot of the film and what was going to …
Juno- the movie
Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …
Haunted Honeymoon
Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …
Lucy by Luc Besson (2014 movie)

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, vigilante film

Drop Dead Gorgeous movie
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” was what I thought was a very interesting and unique comedy film. It was unique in the sense that it was dark and it was filmed in a way and a style which I thought was different from any other comedy film I had ever seen …
Eyes Wide Shut movie

Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (movie 2004)
This is not the sequesl that we were all hoping and looking forward to seeing. What the hell happened is beyond my comprehension as the missed the target….way off. Taking into consideration where the last movie ended, the second installation did not pick up from that point as I …
Miracle on 34th Street movie
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 …
Superbad (2007)
The movie Superbad was before it came out, and even soon after it came out, an extremely hyped up movie; everyone was talking about it. Now almost nobody even cares about the movie.
Superbad is a comedy that is based on how high school kids want to always fit in …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
This is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series of films. It has been several years since the last movie was released and the film does account for that lapse in time. I am thankful for that since it would really be hard to pull off since Harrison …
Montana Sky film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts movie, Montana Sky. So there’s this woman. Her father dies. She lives and works on his ranch. She finds out she has two other sisters, who come to the funeral. In the will’s reading, it says that the three of them must live …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
Transporter 2 DVD
Its not to often that a sequel is better than the original movie but I think the Transporter 2 has acheived this. The movie has amazing special effects, exciting action and even a good storyline.
This film is highly enjoyable and looks beautiful its helped by being set in …
Carolina Moon (2007 Film)
The 2007 film “Carolina Moon” is based on a novel by Nora Roberts. While I have not read the novel, I found the movie to be heart warming and very interesting, with a bit of the supernatural thrown in there as well. It was also a wonderful mystery type …
