Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell)
Bear with me, because I have to type these 3 names because they are amazing. I watched Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) the other day and it was super hilarious. There can never be a movie close to it, except for movies starring …
A Wrinkle In Time Movie
I was fairly young when I first picked up the book “A Wrinkle in Time” — but to his day, very few novels (with the ultimate exception of the Harry Potter series) have managed to match it.
The book is one of high adventure and heavy imagination — and, as …
I Am Legend DVD
I am Legend is very much a one man show with lead actor Will Smith on great form in undeniably his best screen performance to date. Overhyped? almost definately, but despite this the end result is ultimately rewarding.
So what’s it all about ? Emma …
A Christmas Without Snow movie
From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …
Les Miserables movie
None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …
Blackadder Back & Forth movie
Rowan Atkinson in his second most famous role (next to Mr Bean) as the eccentric british nobleman Blackadder. This time he invites a number of people to his castle to show them a magnificent time machine. Not to unexpected, something goes wrong, but still the time machine is actually …
Wreck It Ralph movie
Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.
The movie was released on October 29, 2012 in theaters, and is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes long. I personally enjoyed every minute …
Lakeview Terrace movie
The movie Lakeview Terrace was an all around great movie. The idea of an African American police officer being against an interracial couple is a very unusual idea, but it is possible which makes the movie very believable. Samuel L. Jackson hit another home run with this edge of …
Treasure of Jamaica Reef movie
Treasure of Jamaica Reef is a movie from 1975 about four individuals who come together to go on a big adventure to find a treasure that went down in a Spanish Galleon over 200 years ago. It’s part action in that others also want the treasure, and they …
Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …
Bubba Ho-Tep movie
Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
What a stupid movie. Basically, Elvis is alive and living at a nursing home in the deep south. He ends …
Inception (movie)
This film thoroughly surprised me - I never thought a film could be so thought provoking. The plot itself is rather complicated, I had to watch it a few times just to understand everything that happens. However I thought this is what made the film so great. I could …
A Separation (movie)
I like watching foreign films, especially when I’m in a particular mood, and recently when I’ve been searching for a good one to watch, I kept getting recommendations to watch a movie “A Separation”. Despite all of that I never watched a trailer or even searched for reviews on …

Night and the City Movie
I had some free time this weekend while hanging out with my youngest daughter (it was raining out or I would have taken her outside instead). While taking care of her, I ended up watching a movie from the 1950s, Night and the City.
I had heard of this movie …
The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
She’s The Man (2006)
I always love the movie about a woman who disquises as a man with a special purpose and this movie really gives me what I expect.
It is about Viola, a girl who wants to prove to her boyfriend that woman can beat man in football game and that’s why, …

Movie Stargate
We like to watch movies, it is one of favorite pastimes. We saw the movie Stargate on cable last week. It starred Kirk Russle and it was very well done.
In this movie the opening scenes show a dig in Egypt in the 1920’s a young girl …
Bob’s Busy Day movie
Bob’s Busy Day is actually a movie short, and it’s notable for one main reason. It is the debut of Bob Hope. It’s big on comedy, including physical humor, beginning with Hope’s signature big nose. He’s definitely a younger man here. He’s slimmer and that …
Girl, Positive movie
I watched this movie a while ago on lifetime movie network. I thought it was pretty good overall. It has Jennie Garth, and Andrea Brown. All of the actors were good. It’s about a high school student that finds she has tested positive for a HIV test. I …

I watched Aquamarine with my ex boyfriend years back and up till now, if there are any of my young cousins coming, this would be one of their most favorite DVD to watch.

Movie My First Wedding
“My First Wedding” is a beautiful romantic comedy about marriage and getting cold feet. The true assist of this movie are the brilliant actors in the main roles, Rachel Leigh Cook and Kenny Doughty.

Little Margaret O’Brien stars in 1947’s The Unfinished Dance. She plays Meg Merlin, an aspiring ballet dancer. There are a bunch of other young kids in this movie who play other ballerina wannabes. The most notable is Elinor Donoahue, best known from Father Knows Best. …

Wild Card is the latest offering from Jason Statham, and sees him once again partnered with director Simon West. This movie is much more low key than the soon to be released Furious 7, but it does boast a respectable cast (including Stanley Tucci and Michael Angarano amongst others) as …

Father of the bride 2 is the sequel to the movie Father of the bride. It is a good movie and is very entertaining one. Though it is not as good as the first movie it is good nevertheless. It has some good performances by Steve Martin and Diane …
Die Another Day movie
Don’t ask me why, but for some reason they made another Bond film after the complete failure of The World is Not Enough. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason I used my money to see it. Perhaps because I am such a big fan of the older …
The Pianist (2006)
I loved the movie “The Pianist” (2006). The Roman Polanski movie three Oscars and probably deserved more. The movie tells the story of real-life Polish Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew, who lived in Warsaw before, during, and after World War II. I found the movie believable and touching without …
The Social Network (2010 film)

Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
Analyze This (1998), movie
American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …
“The Avengers” (2012 film)
I went to see “The Avengers” with mixed expectations-I saw it in 3D, and was prepared for lots of the visual spectacle you would hope for from a superhero blockbuster. But the last film I saw in 3D was “Avatar,” which is a case study on how stunning visuals …
Naruto
Naruto. Anime, based on the life of a 13 year old who was instilled with a demon, at the age of one, and cursed/gifted ever since. though naruto seems like a childish cartoon, I have found many men liek myself completely captivated in its story line. in order to …

Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
