We all have an iron memory of Disney’s Snow White, the animated film that conceived the enduring image of a wide-eyed princess garbed in puffed sleeves and beribboned hair. I know Snow White head to heels because I used to sketch her often in my notebooks as a …

I don’t think I realized how much of a dark comedy this was going to be. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know that it would be funny at all. The movie centers around a family comprised of a pill-popping, boozing, promiscuous mother (Carrie Anne …

Mulholland Drive is an absolute masterpiece from surreal director David Lynch, but it is not for everybody I guess. Some people are going to be irritated at the strangeness of this film, but others like me enjoy that strangeness and it serves to draw us into the mystery. …

It was kind of hot outside yesterday and, since my wife is 9 months pregnant and can’t handle the heat too well right now, we ended up spending a good chunk of our afternoon indoors by the air conditioner watching movies.
One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …

When i was a child I used to always look forward to the holidays when I could watch movies such as Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer. This Christmas Classics DVD has those two movies on it as well as Santa Claus is Coming to town, …

I had the privilege of seeing Interstellar in theatres yesterday. I had high expectations for the film, given that Christopher Nolan is the director. I was not disappointed, I was actually amazed. Interstellar had a great story and the visuals were a treat. I’m glad I had the chance to …

Walt Disney had a dream. His dream was to bring color and magic alive to children everywhere. Along the way he had to employ his motto of, “Keep moving forward”. That dream, that process, and that motto are what bring Meet the Robinsons alive. It takes us to a …

“Accidental Hero” is a great movie with a good story involving three great talented actors, Dustin Hoffman, Gena Davis and Andy Garcia. We have seen Hoffman in a lot of different characters; however I believe that there is something very special about his acting part in this movie. …

This is truly a magnificent movie, one of the best to be put out by the Disney people in many years. A powerful tale of family and greed, deception and betrayal, set against the backdrop of the African Savannah. Once again, Disney falls back upon its tried and true …

Last December 2009 I was convinced by some of my friends to watch Avatar movie of James Cameron but I was not really impressed when they told me it was more like a story of an alien thing so I declined. But when January 2010 comes, my close friend …

In Her Shoes star Cameron Diaz as well as Toni Collette. They play sisters in this movie and the Director of this movie had certainly written a very feel-good story about what sibling rivalry perhaps is and that chain simply cannot be broken.
Cameron plays the character Maggie and she …

I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …

“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …

Daniel Craig’s second outing as James Bond 007 was a sad disappointment, especially following the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, a film that managed to successfully reboot the franchise and make Agent 007 popular again with fans that had long grown tired of the outlandish and unrealistic direction the franchise was …

I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …

The Time Traveler’s Wife stars Rachel McAdams as Clare Abshire, an artist, and Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a man with an unusual genetic defect that causes him to travel through time unexpectedly.
The movie centers around the relationship between the two main characters. Although they are in love, they …

This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …

Thank You for Smoking, directed by Jason Reitman is rated R bythe Motion Picture Association of America for language and some sexual content. The original release date was Aoril 14, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Drama and stars Aaron Eckhart as Nack …

Scary Movie is one of those movie series where its really hard not to laugh. The only problem with these series is that each sequel ends up repeating jokes, and slowly loses the audience. The big thing with scary movie 4 is that this is not true. The begging …

A space adventure in which a family travels to outer space to explore new worlds. What they don’t know is that they brought an insane doctor with them who has his very own plans for the mission.
I like the them of space exploring in films, and this film begins …

A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …

Martha Behind Bars is a Lifetime movie that tells the tale of Martha Stewart after her trial and subsequent sentence to five months in prison for the Wall Street scandal she was involved in. Now, there are things that I like about Martha Stewart and even more things that …

This weekend was the first time I have seen the movie The Devil’s Brigade; though I had heard of it and it has been on TV a few times in the past year or so.
Overall, it was an OK movie with plenty of action.
The film is about a group …

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the holy grail of comedic masterpieces and quickly became a cult classic for a very good reason. This movie is filled with stereotypical British humor but it is presented in such a way as to not alienate international audiences. The jokes are …

What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …

As much as there are good movies, funny ones and scary movies from Koreans that we all love, I haave to say that there would always be an exception. For the first one, there is this movie that I took some time to download, it is called Il Mare. …

The special effects in The Triangle, part 2 (and all parts actually), are very good and are part of the lure of what is a six-hour production. This movie or mini-series, depending on how you want to think of it, aired in 3 parts in 2005. It’s …

The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …

Yesterday I watched the movie of House of wax. Well, it was really frightening. The main caracters are Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton, Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams. A group of friends on their way to a college football game falls prey to a pair of murderous brothers …

I admit I am a great fan of Barbra Streisand. I believe she is simply wonderful in whatever she does. The movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in which she is an actress, director, producer and music director is no exception. It comes to no surprise that this movie …

To be honest I was quite skeptical towards the fifth film in the X-Men series. I found it hard to see James Mcavoy as a young Charles Xavier and the absence of Wolverine also did not help much. What little I saw of the trailer , however , suggested …

The Third Man, 1949, is based on a novel by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton), an American author writing cheap westerns, comes to post-World-War-II Vienna. The city, devastated by bombings, is dark, dangerous, with crime running rampant. Martin was invited to Vienna by …

Relative newcomer Rooney Mara perfectly inhabits the role of Lisabeth Salander, the namesake character in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” David Fincher’s adaptation of the wildly popular novel and 2009 Swedish movie is a wonderfully-cast atmospheric crime drama that will make even the bold squeamish.
I’m very glad Fincher …

My husband is a science fiction fan. I don’t particularly go for the science fiction genre necessarily but there are movies in it that I like (Water World for example). We were at home watching television not so long ago when he saw that this movie, Gattaca, was …

I watched sorority row last night for the first time. I am a fan of horror movies and watch one at least once a week. This movie was fine. It was not the best or the worst movie I’ve seen in awhile. It …

I have always firmly believed that after the second part of a movie, everybody should give up bravely and look for other ideas instead of milking the movie’s earlier successes to death as can be seen in the likes of Robocop, Scream, etc but back to Shrek 3.
Last week, …

When I first popped this DVD in, I was a little apprehensive about watching Robin Williams portray another homosexual character in a film. It wasn’t until I did a little research, and realized that this film was based on a novel, which in turn was based on …

Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …

I had been looking forward to seeing The Strangers. The preview made it look good, and I had been told by a friend that it was a very scary movie. I rented it and eagerly put it in my DVD player. Unfortunately, I was in for …

Pet Sematary is s very scary movie. I think this is one of Stephen King’s best movies ever made to date. The thing that was scary about this movie was that is had lots of things to do with death and ghosts. I also think that the movie was scary …

I just finished watching this film. I had heard it was a good film and since it was nominated for a lot of awards in the award season, I figured it would be good. Well, I was wrong, this movie was slow, boring and depressing.
…

One of the few comic book remakes into a like action movie that was good to me. Spider-man played by Tobey Maguire, is so believable and so imaginative, it is amazing. This movie shows how he gained his spider powers, although, in the comic, he gained his powers in …

When Tony comes to Miami, Florida, things are never the same. Tony is a Cuban refugee who tries to start life over in a new country. Al Pacino is brilliant in this role as Tony, who starts out with nothing and becomes a huge drug lord. Tony wants to …
