Avengers: Age of Ultron (Superhero Film)
Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. The only time a Marvel movie turned out right was when the first Avengers movie came out and even then- way too much action. Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of those movies where the visuals draw you in but the story spits you out. If you …

Canterbury Tales movie
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s adaptation of the classic novel by Geoffrey Chaucer about pilgrims who tell their dirty stories to each other.
This was made in a time where Pasolini was constantly taking new turns in his filmmaking and in my opinion getting further away from his original genius in his …
Boys don’t cry
I watched this movie when it aired on lifetime. I mostly watched it because Hillary Swank was in it and it was on lifetime. I didn’t really care for the movie. Not because of what it was about but because I didn’t really understand the movie. It’s about a …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Madagascar 2 Back to Africa (2008 movie)
I never thought that my son would fall in love with the series as quickly as he did. He especially loves the Penguins. And to be honest , I like the Penguins, too. They can be really funny sometimes. What I like about this movie is it basically has …
Mutilation Ball
To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …
9 (animated movie, 2009)
Nine is an animated movie set in a post-apocalyptic world in which machines have taken over and killed all human beings. If this concept is not sound terribly original. It isn’t. However, the movie is entertaining. Tim Burton directed it. Some of the star-studded include Elijah Wood and Martin …

Somewhere (2010 Film) by Sofia Coppola
I’ve been following Coppola’s works in recent years. Somewhere is Coppola’s latest film, and that’s enough reason to make me want to watch it. I was partly influenced by a write up published at nytimes. I’ve only had the chance to see it the following year. …
Children of men
When I first saw the description for Children of Men, I thought it was definitely a unique concept; a man is trying to help the first pregnant woman on the planet in more than 18 years. But, after watching the movie, I have to say the execution wasn’t the …

Sliding Doors comedy

The Boss of it All
The Boss of it All is a movie that I love watching. It is very goofy, and makes fun of the corporate industry, and what really goes on inside. It targeted and has a sarcastic message to those bosses who have it all, and making wry decisions.
The …
The Fault in Our Stars (teen romance movie)
I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …
Movie Defiantely Maybe
My son and I went to the movies today. I wanted to see a light hearted movie that I had heard about. I wanted to see the movie entitled Defiantely Maybe. This movie was about a thirtysomething year old man who is in the midst of a …
Monsters University (animated movie)
Even though I tend to like animated movies I had put off watching “Monsters University” for a very long time. This was because I thought that I might find it to be too immature for my tastes since I had read quite a few bad reviews on it. Nevertheless, I …
Twilight movie
The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …
Hate Crime movie
Hate Crime is a movie that came out recently. It is little known, but should be better known , because it is a very good movie. First off, the movie was technically very well done- good camera work, good acting, etc. I always watch for those kinds of things …

The Christmas Wish (2003 DVD)

Recently we saw that our local library had a Christmas movie that …

Movie The Dark Knight
My family and I saw this movie over the weekend. Our family includes me age 35 female, my husband age 35 male, and our son age 16. All of us really enjoyed the movie.
I think Heath Ledger did a wonderful job as the Joker. He brought something new …
Stargate SG-1 - Brief Candle
The “Brief Candle” episode of Stargate SG-1 is an okay episode. I watch it alot, but it’s not a huge favorite. There are things I love about it, and there are aspects that keep it from being a stellar show.
The opening scene is wonderful. Richard Dean …
The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Movie)
As an avid reader of the Hunger Games trilogy, I was very excited for the next installment in the movie franchise. I thought the first movie was okay, giving it a rating of 7/10, but I’m glad to say that this second installment is a huge improvement over the …
Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …

Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
This is the second movie of Rowan Atksinson as Mr. Bean, after the very funny and attracting ” Bean ” while, for me, this second movie is better than the first one because besides there are classical jokes from Mr. Bean, we can also see the beautiful view of …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …

The Searchers
The Searchers, directed by John Ford, is a classic for all to see. This movie also stars John Wayne and you just can’t find star power like that anywhere else. The movie is about Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his nephew, not by kin, Martin Paulie (Jeffrey …
Ninotchka
I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …
Wanted film
Wanted is a movie about a group of assassins, cool group of people with trainings and camp and all. Angelina Jolie, as usual plays a beautiful woman with a cold heart, full of actions and great body. James McAvoy, kind of a new comer in movies, and …
The Matrix
The Matrix is one of the best movie I have seen in my entire life. The storyline is just awesome. And the acting is just great. My favorite character would of course have to be Neo. The whole concept of The Matrix just blew me away. I was so impressed …

Movie Teen Wolf
Teen Wolf with Michael J Fox.
The title of this movie pretty much explains the story line, but the magic that somehow is associated with little Michael is hard to explain. This film was fun to watch over and over again and can only be …
Dhoom-2
I think the Indians films will be giving hollywood a run for money in few years. Dhoom-2 is a very good film, except for the few minor cliches the film is a treat to watch. Hrithik Roahan rocks even in the negative role. The film is worth watching only …
“Howl’s Moving Casle” (2004 Film)
Recently I watched a Japanese animation cartoon director by Hayao Miyazaki called “Howl’s Moving Castle”. My younger brother is into these sorts of films and I have to admit that they are very intriguing and entertaining to watch as well, and Hayao Miyazaki is also an excellent director who …
