Movies Reviews
Up in the Air movie
Up in the Air surprised me. I wasn’t sure that I would like it. The reason for that is that it stars George Clooney. Sometimes, I like his stuff, and sometimes I don’t. I wasn’t anticipating much. Thus, when I was being entertained, I …
Inkheart movie
The moment I heard what “Inkheart” was about, I knew I had to see that movie. For someone who loves books, the concept of book characters coming out from the pages into our world is fascinating.
“Inkheart” is based on a novel by Conrelia Funke. Those who have read the …
Cinderella Man movie
It took me quite some time before I was actually able to watch the movie “Cinderella Man” being that it was not the type of movie which I usually liked watching at the time, and I thought that it would probably be another boring sports drama film which I …
The Phantom of the Opera 2004 Movie
I just got done watching “The Phantom of the Opera” movie directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It stars Gerard Butler as The Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine Daaé and Patrick Wilson as Raoul the Vicomte de Chagny, Christine’s love interest and childhood sweetheart.
Christine …
The Other Woman (movie)
I’m generally not a fan of what most people describe as “chick flicks”, but once in a very long while a movie might come along that I think I might enjoy. When I first saw the trailer for it some months ago, The Other Woman ended up being one …
Vampire Hunter D (movie 2000)
A wonderful piece of artistic vision. This film is second to none in its class of animation. The plot was beautifully done. What’s it about you ask…should I tell you, or, should I just allow you to watch the movie and be in awe at its magnificence. I’ll tell …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
Eat Pray Love: The Movie
For those of you going through a midlife crisis (like me), you can easily identify with Eat Pray Love. It stars Julia Roberts, who after going through some difficult times, travels to Italy to eat, to India to pray, and finally to Bali to fall in love. It is …
Daniel Deronda
Daniel Deronda (BBC, 2002), based on a novel by George Eliot, is a treat for period drama fans, especially those with the idealistic side who love a Noble Hero. Daniel (Hugh Dancy) is a handsome young gentleman raised and educated by Sir Hugo Mallinger, a wealthy aristocrat. The society …
Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?
Norbit is one of the dumbest movies that I’ve seen …
Death of a Stranger movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death of a Stranger, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian-True-May, and is based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this film, …

Sandra Bullock plays Kate Forster, a beautiful doctor who had been renting the Lake House - a unique, all made of glass house on a lake. There is a mailbox at the house that turns out to be a little out of the ordinary: it allows Kate to correspond …
Bee Season
After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
Ninth Gate movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Ninth Gate, which was released in 2000. Johnny Depp stars as Dean Corso, who is a rare book collector. He has been given the assignment to find the remaining copy of “The Nine Gates.” These volumes evidently have the power …

V for Vendetta is a politically charged action film starring Natalie Portman, John Heard, Stephen Fry, and Stephen Root. Hugo Weaving stars as V, the victim of a grand politically supported medical experiment gone wrong, who becomes a masked vigilante.
Set in England, in …
Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie will always be in my heart. A special one, that is. It starts off with Robin Williams, being separated from his wife and they have children together.
He loves them so much and wanting to be close to them, disguises himself as a …
After Dark Horror Fest: Nightmare Man
Nightmare Man is an odd little horror movie that deserves to go straight to DVD. Thanks to the power of the After Dark Horror Fest though, it got a limited theatrical release before ending up on the video store shelves. I picked it up recently simply because I liked …
Taken (Movie)
This movie is an absolute fantastic one! It has a very simple plot which made me think it was too boring and way too ordinary, but when my friends and family urged me to watch this I finally did and was so awed with Liam Neeson here! The movie …
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.

Inside Out (Animated Comedy-Drama Movie)
It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been interested in something from Pixar Animation, but since I heard a lot of good reviews about one of their latest works, “Inside Out” I decided to take the risk with it. It turns out I actually enjoyed the movie, and I …
Julie and Julia movie
I literally had no interest in this movie when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, I just assumed that it would be one of those movies that had one or two A-list actors in it that they promoted a lot, but would have no …
Movie Master and Commander
We watched Russel Crowe the other night in a movie that came out a few years ago called Master and Commander.
Russel Crowe is another actor that I find does an extremely good job when he portrays charactors and acts. In this movie takes place during the Napoleonic …
Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children

The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
Gladiator: Anatomy of a Prison Murder (R, 2002)
This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …

The break up movie
I was excited to see this movie and it was a major disappointment. I was excited to see it because it had vice Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston in it. It was supposed to be a comedy but it wasn’t much of a comedy to me. I barely laughed in …
Blue Velvet movie
The both controversial and beloved filmmaker David Lynch has been acclaimed for his unique artistic style and criticised for his way of showing brutal violence. My favorite of all his works is the incredibly emotionally powerful and mysterious tv-series Twin Peaks that totally flabbergasted me as a young teenager …

Movie Them (2007)

The Hurt Locker (2009 film)
The Hurt Locker is a film that I expected with great interest not only because of the quantity of praise given to it but also because it was the first film in a long while that was addressing the Iraq war. Kathryn Bigelow, world’s first female …
License to Wed
License to Wed is a not so good romantic comedy movie. The movie has Robbie Williams, Mandy Moore, and John Krasinski playing the pivotal roles. The movie has a very artificial plot and it is not convincing at any point. Though the main point of the plot is silly …
Just Friends
Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14 was a funny episode in its own way. It talks about falling in love at first sight. It would be hard to believe though that anyone would truly fall in love at first sight with a holodeck character though. However maybe in …
Return of the Blind Dead, movie (1973)
I first came across Tombs of the Blind Dead unintentionally. I stumbled across it while looking through Netflix. Hearing good things about it, I watched it and I loved it. A few years later, I had a chance to see the sequel. As much as …
The Duke of Hazzard
This is another comedy movie from Seann Williams Scott, I like almost all his movie. In this movie, the Duke of Hazzard is starred by Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, and Jessica Simpson. I like this movie because it’s full of silly unexpected smart things but do with …
Red Sky Movie

An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …

The movie The Great Mouse Detective

Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …
