Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue movie
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue from 1955 was apparently filmed from a live stage show. In fact, the master of ceremonies, Willie Bryant, calls it the Harlem Variety Review at the very beginning.

Alexander film
I love films based on historical figures. However, after finally watching the movie Alexander, I have to say I was a bit disappointed.
Based on the life of Alexander the Great, the movie focuses a bit too much on the guy who conquered the known world and not enough on …
Walking Tall
I saw Walking Tall the other day, and I must say it’s very funny. I really thought The Rock did a good job in this movie. He was very violent and kicked butt in this movie. Walking Tall is about a small town that has been turned evil by drugs. …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop
A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …
The Battle of Gettysburg movie short

Annie Hall (1977)
This is a film that everyone associates with Woody Allen as it was so successful, winning four Academy Awards amongst others. It is very funny and always makes me laugh but Annie Hall was a turning point for Allen as he had now turned his back on the …
Sex and The City Box Set
I was always a fan of the show sex and the city. Recently they released a box set DVD that constains every single episode of the show. Not only do you get all of these great shows, you also get a little bit of a discount because you are …
The Last Legion
The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …

Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
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 …
The Addiction
The Addiction is a movie about vampires. It seems as if lately, in the last twenty years or so, there is a great interest in portraying vampires on the big screen, but not necessarily in the way that the older films used to. Maybe it started with spoofing Dracula, …
Napolean Dynamite Movie
The first time I ever watched Napolean Dynamite, I thought it was prehaps the worst movie ever made. Since then however I have gotten an appreciation for this movie. For the most part its a bout a nerdy high school student and his expolits. After the second, or third …
Beerfest movie
I think the movie Beerfest was apparently trying somehow to fit into that genre of comedy which focuses mostly on sex, drinking, goofy situations and having fun but still manages to be hilarious. However, I think in this respect Beerfest failed miserably. It was one of the worst excuses …
Batman Begins (DVD)
After a full decade of substandard Batman movies finally the caped crusader has something to cheer about. And what a surprise, too! The sheer number of lukewarm reviews this movie received was enough to make me hesitate to see it. The only person I know who actually gave this …
Spiderman 3
Another love story, that’s what I said to my friends after watching it. I don’t want to spoil it for others who might want to go and spend some dough on this romantic adventure. I know, most people loved the effects and cinematography, but I’m not after an award …

Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
I cannot even begin to explain how utterly disappointed I was with this film. Film is not even a word that can describe the atrocity of this HorrorFest movie. I saw that it featured Gabrielle Anwar. And I suppose that because I saw her …
Without A Clue Movie

Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …

The …

Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I viewed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on HBO. I found the fifth Harry Potter film to be the darkest of them. Possibly, because of Harry’s general anger in this film.
I actually liked the movie better than the book. I am normally the type …
The Movie Sweet Home Alabama
As a southern girl myself I was really excited to see this movie. It promised to be sweet, witty and funny. I was so sure that it would be because the trailer looked funny. I did go see it and have to admit that I was a little disappointed …
Farce Of The Penguins
Well here is another Penguin movie my daughter rented last night,but this one is an adult movie. “The Farce Of The Penguins” was mad funny. We laughed our butts off. Well of course Bob Saget was in it, as well as Christina Applegate, Lewis Black, Mo’nique, Tracy Morgan. The …
Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …

A Roman Holiday (1953)
Just lately, I’ve been wondering why in my history of watching old films, I never sighted an Audrey Hepburn film in TCM, a channel repository for classic movies. Crouched in front of a grainy black and white TV screen, I like to pass the time as a nocturne …
