Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …

Two of my favorite actors in the same movie! The Bucket List stars Jack Nicholson as Edward and Morgan Freeman as Carter. Edward and Carter meet while in the hospital because both men are dying of cancer. Now the plot sounds pretty trite, but it is Jack Nicholson and …

The Duff - Teen Movie (2015)
‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …
48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …
High School Musical
High School Musical debuted on the Disney Channel in January of 2006 and became a nationwide phenomenon, sparking musicals in high schools across the country, a musical tour, and great careers for the actors involved in this show. I am in my twenties and I absolutely LOVE this 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 …
Resident Evil: Extinction
If you have seen one zombie movie, you have seen them all. I know that fans of such movies will disagree, but really, what can these movies be about except a bunch of decomposing dead folks walking around threatening the living, and the living trying to get rid of …
Armageddon Sci Fi Action Disaster Movie
Armageddon is a very chaotic film. Certainly the subject-matter warrants it. Suffice it to say: your brain and all of your visual senses will have a workout. In order that you have no preconceived notions about the movie: just know the best advice is: …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
The Forbidden Kingdom
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, directed by Rob Minkoff, is a rather highly predictable tale involving a Kung-Fu crazy american teenager, a ‘drunken immortal’(Jackie Chan), a monkey god(Jet Li) and a megalomaniacal military warlord. The plot revolves around the monkey god’s golden staff, which was separated from him by the cunning …
Final Destination 3
Final Destination 3 is one crazy movie. It seems so real and really makes you think about things you do in everyday life. This movie is the sequel to the 1 and 2nd final destination. All three movies are about someone having a vision before a major crash …
Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …
The Fugitive movie
Starring Harrison Ford as a doctor framed for the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the Federal Marshall with a die-hard devotion in catching his man. It is intense and action packed with unexpected twists and turns. It’s not really a thinking man’s movie as we …
Leroy & Stitch movie
I’m always glad when it’s my daughter’s turn to pick a movie because I know I’m usually going to find one that we will all enjoy.
Watching Leroy & Stitch last night is a perfect example.
In what I think is going to be the final sequel to the original Lilo …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …
Poison Ivy
I have watched the movie ‘Poison Ivy’. The director is Katt Shea. The actors are Drew Barrymore, Sara and Tom. Sara plays the role of Sylvie and Drew of Ivy. All the actors have performed well.

Movie: Saw the Final Chapter
Synopsis: The Saw movie franchise is finally brought to a close with this final installment which brings back some characters from earlier movies.
What I liked about this movie: The best part, for me at least, was the return of Cary Elwes’ character from the first movie. My wife and …
Not another teen movie
Can you imagine watching a lot of scenes from various films in just one movie? Sounds impossible, however the director Joe Gallen managed to do just this in his original movie with the title “Not another teen movie”.
The storyline of this film consists of a parody of bits and pieces …

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 …
Ladder 49
I am reviewing the movie, Ladder 49, starring John Travolta and Juaquin Pheonix, among many others. This movie depicts the courageousness of being a firefighter. Juaquin Pheonix plays a newbie fireman whose captain (John Travolta) shows him the ropes of the job. It isn’t all hard work and …

As a fan of Ice Cube and Kevin Hart films, I raced to find the nearest movie theater in the vicinity of Towson, MD. My intent was to watch the newly released film “Ride Along.” In my efforts, I was able to locate the following movie theater Regal Cinema …
The Skulls (Movie )
The Skulls is a movie I’ve seen a number of times over the years and I always have fond memories of it. When I saw it recently though, I couldn’t remember exactly why I liked it so much. I think the movie seems a little dated, even though it …
Movie Atonement
Oh wow, this movie blew me away. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. It is one I would actually buy on DVD if my fiance didn’t have that Blockbuster promotion thing. I love the costumes, the set designs, everything. The ending …
The Incredible Hulk
Hulk had another similar version released in 2003, directed by Ang Lee, starring Eric Bana as the Bruce Banner (The Hulk) and Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross. The story was about the origins of the Hulk. It was quite a hit during that period of time in 2003.
After Marvel …
Hannah Montana 3D Movie
Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
Tropic Thunder
When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …
Movie: Revenge of the Nerds
I got the kids to bed a bit early last night and, since my wife was taking a shower, I decided to sit down for a few minutes and see if I could find a movie on TV.
I ended up coming across the film Revenge of the Nerds on …
The Mist by Stephen King (R, 2007)
I watched this movie in segments. I have to admit that at first I was completely intrigued. But as time progressed, my interest waned somewhat, and I was wondering whether I should start the movie again. I did, and then I realized that it wasn’t me …
Rent (the movie)
I loved this musical. It was modern, fun, dramatic, realist, sad, and humerous all at once. I cried at certain parts but even the sad parts were incredible. The actors did an amazing job in recreating the play that usually shows on Broadway. Their voice …
Lake Dead Movie
I plan on buying the entire run of horror movies from the Horror Fest 2008 series, but when they recently went on sale, I needed to pick out a few to buy. One of those that I picked was Lake Dead. Prior to watching the movie, I went online …

The Craving movie
Before I watched this movie, I heard of it and read a few reviews on it. Most of them were good. People said the plot was promising, and th e movie was scary. However, when I actually watched it for myself, I thought that “The Craving” was pretty disappointing …
Tropic Thunder
I was on a quest this summer to find the best comedy, and they saved the best for last, in my opinion. Tropic Thunder is the funniest movie of summer 2008. Better than Zohan, Get Smart, Pineapple Express, AND Step Brothers, which is saying a lot giving …
King Arthur- Poor Film
“King Arthur” is about the life and adventures of Arthur, half Britian and half Roman, and his band of Samatian soldiers. The story takes place when Rome is pulling out of Britian, as they don’t have the resources to keep control.

Number 23
Although Jim Carrey is known for his comedy movies, he did an amazing job in this movie. I was a little reluctant because I didn’t know how good he would be in this type of movie and the previews looked good I was a little worried about him being …
“The Horse Whisperer” (1998) Robert Redford,Kristin Scott Thomas
My personal experiences with horses have been unfortunate so I avoided watching the movie “The Horse Whisperer” until recently. My first unfortunate experience with horses was at the Grays Harbor county fair the year I turned fifteen. I was trying to impress my first real girlfriend. As we toured …
He’s Just Not That Into You movie
For Valentines Day this year, my girlfriend really wanted to see the new movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You” and, it being Valentines Day and all, I obliged. Believe it or not though, I really enjoyed the film, as did everyone in the theatre! Well, at …
Movie The Uninvited
“The Uninvited” is billed as a horror flick, but it’s actually a mystery/ghost story with a twist ending.
Anna is a troubled teen who is plagued by the memory of a horrible fire that killed her mother. She returns home after a stay in a mental hospital, and is immediately …
Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Roman Holiday,1953 movie
