Movie Major Movie Star
I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …

Poseidon movie
It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.
I …
Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
Mystery Science Theater 3000
When I was in high school, one of my favorite shows on TV was Mystery Science Theater 3000. Yet, when they made a movie based on the series, I didn’t get a chance to watch it; until now.
While as funny as the show itself, the movie, which has the …

Fargo (1996) Movie
Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …
The Rugrats Movie
I’ve said this once before, but any movie that will keep my 3-year-old daughter occupied for 90 minutes is one that will always receive high praise from me.
The Rugrats movie is one of those films.
I bought her the movie about a week ago as a bribe. She had spent …
Sherlock Holmes movie (2009)
Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …
For Colored Girls (2010 Film)
I remember running across the movie title “For Colored Girls” on the internet movie database one evening. When viewing the list of people included in the movie, I was instantly intrigued because each main actress in the movie was a familiar face and known to be good.
For Colored …

The villains who run ‘Motel Hell’ must be related to the family depicted in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which this film parodies quite often. In fact, “Motel Hell” parodies a whole list of modern …

Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth, was an extraordinary and visually appealing movie. I was skeptical going into it, because I don’t like foreign films, but I immediately forgot about all my reservations, and just sat back and took the movie in. It was easy to get caught up in, and …
Casino Royale Movie
We went to see the new James Bond movie this weekend, “Casino Royale”. We were a party of two adults and found the movie to be good entertainment. Daniel Craig was a great new James Bond and both my husband and I felt he did a great job. He …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …

Movie Reaping
I feel like this movie was too much like a remake of the Omen. It just had too much in common with it. I would have rather watched something different. In the previews it looked like it would be something different. I just didn’t care for the movie much …

Movie-Chocolat
This film powerfully demonstrates how humans should never repress themselves. The protagonist courageously braves all criticisms and alienation to introduce to this rigid town, that one can act on human desire.

Ice Age: Continental Drift movie
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …

Shutter Island (2010 film)

Mr. Woodcock, movie
Everyone remembers one teacher one teacher that seemed to have it out for them. Maybe it was a pesky history teacher, or the woman with the grey hair who stood guard in American lit, but for most of us, it was the most dreaded of all the primary school …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …

The Shawshank Redemption
Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process. Such an intimidating task requires an tremendously capable artist with an indisputable managerial …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have enjoyed both the previous Bourne movies, but I HAVE to say that the last one The Bourne Ultimatum was by far my favourite! I am usually not that much into watching sequels - but the Bourne Sequels just got better and better as they went along! …
Movie Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
The first disappointing Waldemar film of Paul Naschy’s career was the victim of a haphazard production schedule that saw much of the film never actually shot and padded footage from Marca Del Hombre Lobo inserted.
Pretty standard fare has Waldemar bitten by the yeti (!) …
The Lovely Bones Movie 2009
