What have I done to deserve this? movie
One of spanish original filmmaker Pedro Almodovar’s early films from the 1980s tells the story about a family mother and her bizarre family. Somewhere between drama and comedy as usual with Almodovar, he pictures his characters with a lot of sympathy and sense of humor at once, and his …

The Sentinel (2006) movie
My dad got a dvd two pack and this is one of the movies in the pack so I decided I would watch it since I missed it in theaters and the plot seemed pretty appealing to me.
Pretty simple plot to go with. There is a bug within …
The Interview, movie
There aren’t many films that generate so much controversy as The Interview has done. Considering its premise it comes as no surprise that it would cause upset within North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is not exactly famed for having a self-deprecating sense of humour.
As is often the …
Pretty Persuasion (R, 2005)
I didn’t know what to think at first about this really quirky film. I knew that starring Evan Rachel Wood in the lead role, there would be something avante garde about the subject matter. IN this movie, she portrays a young high schooler named Kimberly, who ropes …
The World is Not Enough movie
The World is Not Enough is a film that in my opinion should never have been made. It’s another 007 film starring Pierce Brosnan for the third time, and it was very successful at the box office. The whole concept of James Bond has been held alive all these …
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
Stranger than Fiction, debuting in 2006, is a movie starring Will Ferrel. The movie is about an IRS agent named Harold Crick. Mr. Crick lives a very dull and redundant life until he starts hearing a voice narrating his actions. The movie continues as he tries to find the …
Chrystal
I hesitated to watch this suspsense movie at first because it was low budget and I have not had very may good experiences with low budget suspense and thriller films since many of them I’ve watched have turned out to bear some of the qualities I generally see in …
Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Fantasy film
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is the director’s biggest film to date. Yeah sure you could say that some of his other films are better and I would agree, but this one was a cash cow. Disney knew this so in 3 short months the movie went from being …
Mr & Mrs Smith DVD
Brad Pitt and Anjolina Jolie no doubt make an attractive couple. With that said let’s get to the much anticipated movie that has just been released on DVD.

Not Another Teen Movie
“Not Another Teen Movie” was first released when I was still in my early years of high school. In fact, I was about thirteen at the time and when it was released I didn’t pay it very much attention even though I heard most of my friends constantly talking …
Wanted Movie
I was excited to see this movie. I was a bit disappointed when I finally watched it. I expected more action from it. There was actually some, but I am not contented. The plot itself is thin and the story is typical. The first few minutes were exciting but …

If you have seen ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’, ‘Why Did I get Married’ and ‘Madea’s Family Reunion’ then you are full aware of the character known as Madea played by Tyler Perry. In this movie, she shares the stage with a troubled female. Let us focus on …
The Transporter 1 and 2
“The Transporter” series is definitely my favourite Jason Statham movie. In an interview, Statham admitted that he got a lot of attention in Hollywood thanks to this movie series and the other, also very popular, “Crank”.
What is great about these two movies is that normally, in Hollywood, the second …
Movie: Planet 51
I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …
The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
Don’t Look in the Cellar (Trailer, 2009)
Normally, in the first paragraph of a review, I try and proved information such as the stars, director and such. This time, however, that task became untterly impossible, because although this is a trailer, I can’t find word one about anything else related to this film. Now …

Dahmer
This film, based on the killings of infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dhamer is a complicated film to judge. On one hand, it documents his crimes accurately enough, and for a big screen or small screen adaption of anything of the sort, the facts can be lost in the fiction, …
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties (2006)
The sequel to the original that has no real bearing on it, this is the story of Garfield the cat who is traveling to London England with Odie the dog to surprise their master who is going to get married. It just so happens that Garfield got switched with …
Uptown Girls

The Lion King
I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …
A Life Less Ordinary
“A Life Less Ordinary” represents the early stages of two great actors; Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor. This is a very funny romantic comedy were we can see the great talents of the then almost unknown actors. In this movie, they are both sporting a trendy spiky haircut. We …
The Parent Trap,1998 movie
This is a remake of the original, 1961 “The Parent Trap”. Unlike many remakes, it is actually good. Two girls meet at a summer camp: Hallie Parker from California and Annie James from London. To their utter amazement, they look like twins. Neither one knew she had a twin …
Grandma’s Boy movie
A couple years ago when I had all of the movie channels they played this on one of them and I ended up watching it. It was better than I thought it was going to be. I really only started watching it because there was nothing else better on. …

Flawless (R, 1999) movie
I had skipped over this film in my Netflix queue for a long time. Thre was something about seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing a gay drag queen that kept me from bumping it up in the queue. Then I rented it finally. Robert DeNiro is …
Mulberry Street Movie
Mulberry Street is one of those movies that is trying to make a statement on current society, but fails. At least that’s how I viewed the movie. I also noticed that the director seemed to take some inspiration from Night Of The Living Dead. At one point I even …
Point Break DVD - Pure Adrenaline Edition
Point Break was the movie Patrick Swayze did right after Ghost. He wanted something totally different from the leading man persona he’d been in that film, and boy did he get it. In Point Break, Swayze stars as Bodhi, a surfer guru, who comes in contact with …
The Thing About My Folks,2005 movie
I am surprised that I haven’t really heard anything about this movie when it was released. It is a good movie that deserves more attention. Peter Falk plays Sam Kleinman, a hard-working husband and an absentee father whose wife Muriel (Olympia Dukakis) finally leaves him after 50 years of …
Dady’s Little Girls
Daddy’s little girls is one of Tyler Perry’s heartwarming movies, about a loving father who is doing all he can for his three little girls. My husband and i watched it together on the couch. I think he cried as much as i did.

Love and a .45 (1994)

Clash of the Titans movie
For those of you that you were born too late (like me), Clash of the Titans is a film appeared in 1981, which used some sort of an animation for special effects. But in this review we won’t talk about that movie. We will be talking about the remake. …
This strange passion movie
This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street
I just finished watching this movie at home and I wasn’t quite happy with the flow of the story or plot. Although the lead character Johnny Depp did a fantastic job as the barber who turned out to be a serial killer in Fleet street. The story …
License to Wed
I didn’t know that License to Wed is a fun movie to watch. Unfortunately, I caught it on DVD rather than from the cinema itself, but it’s better than nothing.
This movie stars Mandy Moore (my favorite actress), and in this movie, she is known as Sadie. She …
The Island movie

Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
Movie Friday (1995)
