Bad News Bears
I was flipping channels today and came across the original Bad News Bears on one of the movie channels. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie and I have to admit it is much better than I remember it.

Date Night Movie (2010)
Every movie Steve Carrell makes I am loving him more and more. It seems he just gets better at what he does best - acting comedic parts that aren’t really supposed to be funny. I know it doesn’t like a complement but he really is a good actor and …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2-Disc Edition
I’ve always been a fan of the Nightmare On Elm Street series, and in particular the first movie. The day they released this special edition, I picked it up right away and happily put it in my DVD player. Unfortunately I ended up being fairly disappointed. I know that …
Maid in Manhattan
I saw the movie Maid in Manhattan again last night and, even though Jennifer Lopez does a somewhat decent job in it, I’m still not overly impressed with it.

Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …

This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
I saw trailer of the fifth part of Harry Potter on HBO, very impressive and attractive. But I watched it and it was disappointed. Everything happened so fast. If you didn’t read the novel Harry Potter and The order of the Pheonix before watching the film, you can not …

The Man Who Wasn’t There movie

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Spy Comedy Movie)
Before I was able to watch the 2015 movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I admit that I didn’t have much of an idea what it was going to be about. The only thing I knew about it was that it was supposed to be based on a spy series that …

Movie: “Bride Wars”

Jeepers Creepers 2, horror film
This one really delivered, I thought. The first Creeper movie was great, but any fans might remember the Creeper had wings and in the first one we never saw him fly. Set the stage for this second helping of mayhem. Most of the horror takes place on a …
The Kingdom Movie
Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …

Shutter (R, 2004) movie

Going My Way movie

This is yet another comedy from the Happy Madison production line and is much typical with the plot line we come to expect from these films! Definitely not for the younger viewers and contains 100% adult material!! The movie stars Seth Rogan and James Franco who do an average …
