Saving Private Ryan movie
Bloody, gruesome, vicious and emotional are the words to describe this movie. A great film directed by Stephen Spielberg. The battle on the beach brought tears to my eyes when you saw how the men were dying, being dismembered and the scene when one soldier turned back to pick …
My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997 Movie)
I just watched my Best Friend’s Wedding again - I haven’t seen it since it came out. The initial thought that struck me was omigod! the clothes. I had to watch this just to remember what the clothes looked like and how giant cell phones were back then. (Seriously. …
The Deal (movie)
Of course, I am neither a fan of films of the romance comedy genre, nor the popular romance actress Meg Ryan, but one day when I was very bored and nothing else was being aired on cable television, I decided to watch the movie “The Deal”. I had never …

It is Christmas Eve, and my son and I went to the movies today to get away from the crowds, before I forget, to one and all may you have a Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year.
Anyway we went to see PS I Love you, at …
Queen Latifah
My earliest memories of Queen Latifah were in the early nineties when she was still a rapper. I can’t remember how I even knew her either since I did not know the lyrics of tune to any of her songs. However, I did know her face, and just recently …

Pay It Forward (2001)
Watching this, Pay It Forward (2001) on the DVD the other night gave me a bit of self-confidence to embrace life more better.
The movie story stars Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and if you remember the talented kid from the movie the Sixth Sense, it is none other than …
Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
The Rookie movie
If you enjoy watching classic action movies, with tough and uncompromising characters, this one is for you. Despite the fact that it was created 18 years ago, this film is still fun to watch. It tells the story of a young inexperienced cop David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen)and his stern …
The Joy Luck CLub DVD
This DVD is one of the most unforgettable movies in my entire human life. believe it or not. I really don’t want to see this movie before, because i was thinking it would be some cheesy-no-story type of movie. I was very very wrong. And i hate myself for …
Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
I am Legend
Ok, considering I waited several weeks before I was able to find a copy of I am Legend at my local video store, I have to say I’m extremely disappointed in this movie. In fact, I’m absolutely glad I rented it rather than buy it.
When I see a movie …
The Nude Bomb
I have never watched the show Get Smart; even though it has been on television in re-runs for decades. Yet, for some reason, when I saw the movie based on the series “The Nude Bomb,” I figured I would watch it.
I didn’t even get halfway through it before I …
Twilight Movie
I have heard so many outrageous things said about the Twilight movie, and from people who haven’t even watched it. They have said that Edward Cullen isn’t a real vampire, that he’s a wimpy vampire, that he’s a pretty boy, and pretty much any other ridiculous thing that one …
Devil in a Blue Dress
I had seen the movie “Devil in a Blue Dress” being shown on a few cable television movie channels for years, but never watched it at the time since I just didn’t think that I would have any interest in the movie. However, recently since I have begun to …
Murder on the Orient Express movie
In my opinion the by far best adaptation of a detective story by Agatha Christie, in which Albert Finney appears as the genius detective Hercule Poirot. The cast of the film is simply amazing and include legends like Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York, Lauren Bacall, Martin …

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 …
X-Men Movie
I marveled at the thought that an X-Men movie was going to be made at last, but all that was cut to threads when I finally saw the film. While the plot is comic like as it should be, it was without intrigue. Some of the characters where well …
Movie White Chicks
The movie White Chicks is a very funny one. I love this movie and would see it all over again. It’s very funny. The stars are the Wayne’s brothers. They were the white chicks. They got transplant and look like white chicks. The funny part is that they don’t …
Maximum Overdrive movie
When it comes to Stephen King movies, they are usually hit or miss with me. In the case of Maximum Overdrive, it was definitely a miss.
While I did like the concept; a comet passing near Earth causes all machines to come to life and attempt to kill humans, overall …
Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …

The Purge, 2013 Movie
For one night a year, all crime is legal. It’s a very compelling idea for a movie, right? If the film is well executed then yes, but in the case of The Purge, it’s really nothing more than an average movie.
The Purge was one of the first movies in …

I’ve been eying this movie since it was released in the U.S. last December. So, when it’s finally showed here in our area I did not hesitate to watch. Well, the trailer itself would give you some curiosity what is the movie all about. Actually, I haven’t read the …

Aquamarine movie
When I first saw the movie Aquamarine being advertised to be released in theatres I was eager to see it since it looked like a very cute children’s movie which even I might be interested in seeing. When I watched it I wasn’t disappointed either since I didn’t think …
When Harry Met Sally
Billy Crystal sizzles in the movie, When Harry Met Sally. And one of my most favorite actress, Meg Ryan acted too and together with Billy Crystal, the on-screen chemistry looks unavoidable. I could be watching this 10 times and still not get tired nor bored at it.
This is …
