Erin Brokovich Movie
In my opinion, Erin Brokovich is by far the best movie Julia Roberts has ever made. It’s great to see her star in something much more relevant and worthwhile than so many of her other offerings.
It tells the story of (no surprises here), Erin Brokovich, who is a …
Movie Sahara
If you enjoyed watching “The Mummy” and Indiana Jones series, then you are going to enjoy watching “Sahara” which is based on the book with the same name by Clive Cussler.
In “Sahara” the actor, Matthew McConaughey is Dirk Pitt, a marine engineer and explorer is searching of ‘the …
Kind Lady,1951 movie
This is a sad and scary movie. Ether Barrymore plays Mary Herries, a rich old lady who takes pity on a poor artist Henry and starts helping him and his family. First she buys some of Henry’s paintings, then even invites Henry, his wife and child to stay with …
Crank 2 Movie
OK well Crank 2 is not like a super good movie. But I can say it had lots of energy and action in it. Crank 2 really brings the violence the sex, the craziness. This movie overall seems to be very crazy and just a wild ride with not much …
Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy
Since I watched their film, Jack and the Beanstalk, I have been wanting to once again watch Abbott and Costello movies. So, I started watching one I haven’t seen before (except for the ending), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
The movie was OK but not as funny as some …
Barbarian Queen, fantasy film
Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …

This evening I watched the classic movie “Mary Poppins”. This Disney classic is timeless people from eight to eiighty enjoy this show.
I was interested to learn that this movie was the first to bring live action and animation together. When the movie was being made there were several …
Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)
Oliver Twist is 2005 Crime and drama movie directed by Roman Polanski, which is based on a novel. I had read the novel a few years ago, and I truly loved it, and wanted to see the story in action, and played by real characters. The story of the …
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 …
Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age
Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
Perfume The Story of a Murderer (2006)
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer stars Ben Wilshaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille who was born into the revolting street smells of eighteenth century Paris with an obsession with scents and with little else filling his head. I am not usually attracted to films that are described as a …
Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) movie
I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …
Pollock movie
Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …
Ladybugs (1992)
Ladybugs, directed by Sidney J. Furie is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date for this movie was March 27, 1992 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Sport and stars Rodney Dangerfield as Chester Lee, Jackee Harry as …
Mr.Deeds
Mr.Deeds is a mediocre comedy movie. This Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder starred movie misses something which makes it not appealing much to the viewer. Though the movie has a decent plot and impressive star cast, it some how doesn’t manage to attract the viewer. It is the story …
“The ugly truth” movie
War of male-male amusing. Yes, you can briefly describe the new film makers cult comedy “Legally Blonde.” The ugly truth is another charming, banal story of love that every woman dreams of. On the other hand, this hilarious comedy is not as ephemeral as the others. It can not …
The Time Guardian Movie
Yet another “in the future the machines will take over the world and destroy all humans” kind of film, this time about a city trying to transport themselves with a time machine but fails. They then face the gruesome cyborgs (part machines, part human) who threaten to kill them …
Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
The Proposal (2009) - Movie
I had a good time watching this movie. As an actor myself, I really appreciate Sandra Bullock’s comedic talents. She’s charming, goofy, and real. I also liked that the movie doesn’t use crude humor. There is some stripping and PG-13 nudity, but I felt it …
Descent (NC-17, 2007) movie
Man oh man, was I disappointed with this movie. There aren’t too many films starring Rosario Dawson that I absolutely hate. But this one—an indie—about her “brutal” rape was just strange. The premise is that she’s an introverted college student who is lured into …
Twilight (2008 Film)
The 2008 “Twilight” movie is something that many people are familiar with I am sure. It hit the big screen after being a wonderful bestselling book, loved by many age groups. When it finally hit the big screen the theaters were packed by this romantic film about teenage love …
Happy Feet Movie
I was babysitting my niece and nephew and they wanted to watch the movie. When I popped the DVD in, I was prepared to get bored. I thought what could they possibly cook up with penguins as characters? But then my interest got stirred up by the opening number. …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …
Serendipity movie
Destiny! A mere coincident, a perfect accidentally meeting, in an unexpected date, day and time including places.
“Serendipity” is a movie, which lovers and hopelessly romantics would like. A very good twist emphasized on coincident, love at first sight, true love. Two people met at the amidst of chaotic Christmas …
Shakespeare in Love
I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …
Exam (movie)
After watching the movie Exam last night, I can’t help thinking that it was one of the best psychological thrillers that I watched in a long while. This was despite the barely above average rating that it had received on its IMDB page. I think that the rating was …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …
Monster in the Closet movie
A combination between comedy and horror in which the police find themselves helpless against a strange monster that hides in the closet and kills people for no reason. A professor and a biology teacher takes on the mission of destroying the monster.

Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …
Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …
Movie: A Christmas Story
My wife and I ended up wrapping Christmas gifts at the very last second late last night while the kids were asleep. Since we were getting tired and needed something to keep us awake until the work was done, we decided to put on the Christmas classic A Christmas …
Hannibal Rising (R, 2007) movie
If you like Hannibal Lechter, you will love this film. In a really in depth look at how Hannibal grew to become so vile, cunning, and deadly, this movie begins with his childhood. The film then follows him quickly through adolescence, and up to young adulthood. …
Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …
Movie Into the Wild
Upon prompting from a friend, I finally rented “Into the Wild” which was directed by Sean Penn. While I felt the film was meant to induce feelings of empathy for the main character, Christopher McCandless, I could not help but feel more sorrow for this boy’s family as they …
Dumb and Dumber Dvd
Dumb and Dumber is the funnies movie ever written in my opinion. The comedic timing is spot on and keeps you laughing from the first minute to the last. The jokes are all based on how dumb Harry and Lloyd who are best friends are. They are mostly simple …
After the sunset
‘After the sunset’ is an English movie and the actors are Pierce and Woody. In the movie, there are two notorious thieves, Max and Lola. These two are very clever and notorious. They go to Paradise island in the Bahamas. Here they come across some precious diamonds. These diamonds …
Dreamcatcher
This movie is based on the novel by Stephen King, which I managed to finish in one setting, so I figured the movie had to be good. And it WAS fairly entertaining, though it got a little cheezy towards the end. The movie basically is about four friends who …
Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …
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 …

Flafship Cinemas, Campbell Drive, Homestead, FL
I am an avid movie enthusiast. I go to the movies probably once per week and have been to over 100 different theaters all over the country in my lifetime. Flagship Cinemas on Campbell Drive in Homestead, Fl has to rank near the top of my experiences. It all …
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 …
Walk the Line movie
Prior to watching this movie, I did not know much of anything about Johnny Cash. For me, the big draw to see the movie in the first place were the main characters, Joaquin Phoenix in particular. I was very sad to see him drop out of acting as I …
