The Love Guru
I’ve always liked Mike Myers as a comedian. However, some of his movies haven’t been anywhere near as good as his earlier films like Wayne’s World and Austin Powers Man of Mystery. So, when his movie The Love Guru came out, I ended up believing the critics when they …
Havoc (R, 2005) movie
Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …
Pterodactyl (2005) movie
I wanted to see this movie for a long time as I like dinosaur movies and it turned out to be rather decent! Yes, it’s not exactly another Jurassic Park but the movie has a solid enough plot and the pterodactyls looked pretty good. The only real hitch is …
Max Payne movie
I really enjoy watching Mark Wahlberg’s movies because he manages to come up with a different and exciting project every time. I must also admit that —˜Max Payne’ failed to impress me because it is not the kind of project one can link with this actor. It seems that …
The Fighter: Movie
Another nomination for this year’s Best Film at the Oscars has hit the DVD shelves, with The Fighter making its home viewing debut.
Although losing out on the most prestigious award at the annual ceremony, two of the films cast walked away with Oscars of their own for their fantastic …
Rumor Has It movie
I had doubts when I rented another Jennifer Aniston movie, since she tends to be hit or miss. But, I was very surprised at how funny Rumor Has It was.
Anniston is great as a woman who is on the verge of a breakdown after finding out her family is …
The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
This movie is about how Elmo learns to share. It shows the villain as a self-absorbed man who takes what he likes without consequence. It happens in Grouchland where grouches don’t take action against him because they’ll have to work together to do so. The movie is hosted by …
The Tourist Movie
This was another hyped and overrated movie but at least this was well worth watching it! The movie stars Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp and the story is all about Frank, an American tourist who is on Italy apparently mending his broken heart, and he meets Elise, a very …
Spoiler Alert: Iron Man 2 Movie
MY hubby wants to watch Iron Man 2. We have watched the first one and now that the second one has been released, we decided to watch it too. We are a big fan of comic-turn movie genres.

Serendipity
I think that the best way to describe the movie “Serendipity” is John Cusack’s success movie as an attempt to return to his origins. We can remember that in the being of his career Cusack was involved in the successful movie project “The Sure Thing”. “Serendipity” is Cusack’s version …
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

After a few movies, Vin Diesel became hollywood’s leading man for a hot minute. He was cast in Saving Private Ryan, which was an absolute brilliant movie starring Tom Hanks. And he was also in the Fast and the Furious with Paul Walker. After declining a role in the …
American Hustle (movie)
I became interested in watching the movie “American Hustle” because virtually everyone I know who watched it claimed it was a masterpiece. The Oscar nominations that it received made me even more interested in seeing it. However the only things that kept me away were that there were actors …
Blood Diamond movie
Before I watched the movie “Blood Diamond” I don’t think I had ever heard about the war over diamonds coming from the African country Sierre Leon. In fact, I think people always seemed to be a bit more focused on genocide in other African countries. One thing that the …
The Monster Squad, comedy horror film by Fred Dekker
When I was a little kid, playing with my wrestling action figures with my brother, I would always wonder if there really were monsters. Normal children at this age most likely didn’t think about this but I did. Some times when I would do this my brother would pin …

American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
Them! (1954)
One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …

Fear and loathing in las vegas is one of the best movies i’ve ever seen

Vantage Point
This movie is about an assassination attempt to the president of the United States. It is not a typical movie I can say. I think the plot was easy but I did enjoy watching it. It is a typical conspiracy theory movie but with a twist. I really thought …
Casino Royale
Casino Royale is a remake to a more modern day version of an old James Bond movie. The new version is full of action like you would typically see in a James Bond movie. However it was a bit more violent than most I have ever seen before. James …
All in the Family Fan Favorites DVD
This DVD release unfortunately is no better than the season set DVD releases for the show. There are no special features or bonus extras. All that’s on this DVD is eight episodes from the second season of the show. I had hoped when renting this DVD that because there …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …
Wanted: A Movie
What have you been doing lately? This is the last line from the movie “Wanted” starring Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and James Mc Avoy.

Movie Just Like Heaven
I went to go see this movie, while it was still in theaters, with my husband. It was supposed to be a nice, date-like evening, so we chose the one that looked both funny and romantic. We weren’t disappointed. In fact, I think he like the …
One Hour Photo movie
One Hour Photo is a movie about a man who works in a one hour photo lab. Sy is played by Robin Williams, and as usual, Robin Williams delivers a superb performance. Sy is a loner and quite strange. Because Sy has no life of his own, he lives …

Starring Julia Roberts (as Erin Brokovich) and Albert Finney, this movie is based on the true story of Erin Brokovich-Ellis (who makes a special appearance in the film ~ watch for her, as a waitress named, ironically, Julia). Aaron Eckhart is also in the film.
I loved this movie. …
Wishmaster (1997)
This movie is the classic case of being careful what you wish for. I have always been telling my friends and family that very same quote year after year, time after time and it has never proven me wrong to date. Whether you are talking about real life situations …
Legend of Zorro movie
The sequel to the very popular adventure film from the late 90s. In this film, Zorro went and got himself a son who doesn’t know his identity but only that his father is Alejandro de la Vega. The rest of the plot is very similar to the first movie, …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
Watchmen movie
Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …
Titanic (Movie)
I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …
Whisper A Horror Movie
M Moderate supernatural themes and violence.

I will no tell a lie the main reason I decided to watch Whisper was because I am a big fan of Josh Holloway. (Sawyer from the TV series Lost). Fans of Mr Holloway will not be disappointed by this supernatural thriller.
Josh plays …
Transformers (2007)
Michael Bay does it again with Transformers. With his known use of 100% authentic special effects, who wouldn’t love his movies?

I loved this movie so much because it was funny and very touching. Who would have thought that prehistoric animals could have made me get in touch with my softer side? The plot consists of a wooly mammoth, a saber tooth tiger and wonderful sloth named Sid. Each …
The Fast and the Furious 4
Today I just watch the new movie Fast and Furious 4 in theatre. It’s the sequel of the previous movie Fast and Furious 1,2, and 3. The story is not so different with the previous movie, it’s about catching the bud guy and always involved racing car on it.
In …
Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Coming back for a third time, Rush Hour 3, in my opinion, has done a lot better than the second. With a great addition of Israeli actor Yvan Attal, who plays George, this movie is a great finish to top off a funny trilogy.
Jackie Chan is back and better …
The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …

Movie Tavern
This is by far, hands-down, beyond a shadow of a doubt THE worst movie theater I have ever been to in my life, and I have been to a few pretty bad ones. I have never had a movie experience so ruined as I did the night I attended …
40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …
How to lose a guy in 10 days
How to lose a guy in 10 days is a nice romantic movie and is one of the best romantic movies of this decade. Matthew McConaughey played the central characters in this movie and they are adorable as a pair. Andie (played by Kate Hudson) is a journalist for …
