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” …
Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …
Soul Survivors Movie
Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …
The Back-Up Plan Movie
Not too long ago I had an opportunity to watch “The Back-Up Plan” starring Jennifer Lopez as Zoe and the ever gorgeous Alex O’loughlin as Stan. This movie is about a women who when in her 30’s thought she would be married with kids. However, she has yet …
The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
I Spit On Your Grave (horror movie)
I Spit On Your Grave is a very good classic tale of horror and blood. I just love this movie. The movie is about a woman who wants to get revenge on a group of men. And she takes them out one by one in brutal and horrible …
Back to School movie
I’ve always though Rodney Dangerfield was more annoying than funny and his movie Back to School did nothing to make me change my mind about that.
Dangerfield plays a millionaire who decides to attend college to further his education and in an attempt to get some bonding time with his …
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House movie
I have always gotten a kick out of this comedy starring Cary Grant. It’s called Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House and uses Grant’s comedic skills wisely. As the affable Jim Blandings, Grant is the common, everyday man who agrees with his wife that they have the …
Tron (movie)
This movie came out at a time when video games were still being played primarily in video arcades in the mall. Atari and similar consoles were not yet widespread. The makers of Tron were experimenting right alongside young companies like Nintendo and Microsoft. Within a few short years, Atari …
When We Were Soldiers
When We Were Soldiers stars Mel Gibson in one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting the Vietnam War. The storyline is great, the scenes are even better. If you are looking for action packed movie then this will definitely not fail you. This must’ve been …
Adventureland movie
What an upset of a movie this was. I am surprised that I heard as many good reviews about it because I thought it sucked. I didn’t laugh not even one time during the whole duration of the movie. The movies is about a boy who just graduates from …
Bond 007
Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …
Case of the Split Ticket
I am reviewing The Case of the Split Ticket, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Stargate: Atlantis 501 “Search and Rescue”
Stargate Atlantis season 5 premiere was one of the things I was really waiting for. With all the spoilers out there, I couldn’t imagine how they will make it work. And oh boy, was it worth it.
The episode is an immediate continuation of the season 4 finale. The building …
Rose Red, movie directed by Stephen King
I have always been a fan of supernatural movies so when I came across Rose Red by Stephen King I had high hopes. The movie (made from the miniseries) was not as great as I expected but still became one of my favorites.
The plot tells of a teacher …
Movie Soul Men
First and foremost, I must admit that watching this movie made me a little sad. This is because in August, two of the film’s stars died. Bernie Mac, died of complications related to his sarcoidosis. Isaac Hayes died of a heart attack while working out on …
Movie Lake House
I bought this movie when it came out and I am glad I did. It’s not as good as the notebook but it is a really good movie and a good romantic story. Keanu Reeves plays a guy who moves into this lake house which this girl played by …
Movie: Field of Dreams
Synopsis: Kevin Costner plays an Iowa farmer who is on the verge of losing his property but decides to listen to a mysterious voice and chops down his corn to build a baseball field instead.
What I liked about this movie: I don’t usually say this about movies, but I …
Devour movie
Sometimes Hollywood comes up with a unique idea for a film only to have it suck because of poor execution.
The movie Devour falls into this category.
What can I say, the idea of an online video game that causes people to commit murder and then mutilate themselves is definitely something …
Cadillac Records movie
As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …
Pretty Woman
My all time favourite film is Pretty Woman and I love to watch it over and over again. It was released back in 1990 and it is still as good today in my opinion as it was when it was first released. The film was directed by Garry …
Requiem For A Dream movie
Requiem For A Dream is another weird film you watch late at night and then try to figure out what really happened later on. I really like this movie because it is so sorted and twisted. You just can’t l really understand what would drive people to be so …

Lately I have been watching movies on lifetime and lifetime movie network and most of them have been pretty good. One that I want to recommend is called Pacific Heights. It has Melanie Griffith and Micheal Keaton in it. It’s about a guy who rents a room from this …
Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …

One Million Years BC movie
The appeal of the movie One Million Years BC can be boiled down to two points: Dinosaurs and Raquel Welch in a leather bikini. (Depending on your tastes you can determine which of those two points is the more important). Beyond that, well, there’s not much to …

About A Boy movie
“About a Boy” is the movie where Hugh Grant tried to make something different from the usual movie projects we are so used seeing him in. I must admit that, although this movie was a great success, I prefer Grant version in his usual type of movies. All in …

“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …
Death Note, Netflix movie
This movie, created by Netflix, is a live action take on the anime Death Note. I will say right now that the anime version is easily one of my favorite shows, and when I heard that Netflix was creating this I was excited but didn’t really expect much from it. …
Saw IV movie
I wasn’t a big fan of the Saw movies when they first came out but they eventually grew on me. However, after watching Saw IV, I have to say it’s time to bring the franchise to an end.
Jigsaw dies in Saw III, along with his accomplice so you would …
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 …
Movie: “Bride Wars”
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this lackluster, predictable comedy in which best friends become enemies when they accidentally book their weddings on the same date. Determined to upstage each other, they pull all kinds of unpleasant tricks to try and ruin the other’s wedding.
I had several issues …
Movie The Invasion
Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …
Kama Sutra movie
My wife and I are always looking for ways to keep the spark in our love life lit. This includes watching “instructional” videos and learning new techniques in the bedroom.
Since she went to bed early last night, I decided to check out one I could load on my netflix …
“Funny games” movie
Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
Idyllic …
Gone Girl (2014 film)
I’m another one of those very crazy Gone Girl fans that have also read the book. My very first introduction to Gone Girl was when I read, pretty desperately, this critically acclaimed novel in less than three days, often surrendering to feelings of “please, just another chapter” and discovering …
The Wolf Man Movie
I watched this Movie two days ago, I heard from a friend that this Movie was good and I came to see it on a big screen. I am amazed since those actress and actors who portrayed the story was those Vatican in a big Movie.
The first scene was …
Movie The Uninvited
“The Uninvited” is billed as a horror flick, but it’s actually a mystery/ghost story with a twist ending.
Anna is a troubled teen who is plagued by the memory of a horrible fire that killed her mother. She returns home after a stay in a mental hospital, and is immediately …
The Rack movie
What a cast! I can’t believe I’ve let some quality Paul Newman films slip by without seeing them. I’ve always enjoyed Newman; he was a favorite of mine since I first saw him as a little girl. Somehow, though, I’ve been remiss in not catching some …
2fast 2furious
2fast 2furious is a lot better in my opinion than the first and third installment, this particular movie had a better story line which captured the viewer a lot more than the other two, the scenes were better directed and the cars seemed a lot better. The grafics areamazing …
The Green Mile
I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …
Lucky You Movie
For any poker fan or romantic Lucky You is a great pick. No movie has kept me more entertained than this classic. It’s about a male poker player who is very talented at the game. He is highly competitive and can’t stand his father who is also a good …
Stephen King’s The Mist
This is one of the most recent of the Stephen King adaptations to hit the big screens, but I have to say that it isn’t one of the best. 1408 was one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time, but the Mist just didn’t …
