I’ll just start with the part I didn’t like. I didn’t like the speech at the end by the President as played by Jeff Bridges. I had liked his character up until then but something about the way it was written seemed obvious to me somehow. Maybe in this …

It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …

I am a huge collector of boxed DVD television collections. I love watching old reruns of TV shows because I can watch the episodes I want when I want. Also, I do not have to worry about the commercials either. This episode from season five is …

I woke up with a cold yesterday and slept all day. Today I was kind of tired so I just tried to stay in bed for most of the day. I couldn’t really get to sleep but I didn’t feel like getting up or doing anything. So I decided …

This movie is about how Elmo learns to share. It shows the villain as a self-absorbed man who takes what he likes without consequence. It happens in Grouchland where grouches don’t take action against him because they’ll have to work together to do so. The movie is hosted by …

I found the movie “Back to the FUture Part 2″ just as exciting as its prequel “Back to the FUture Part 1″. Nevertheless, I am not sure if it got the same amount of attention as the first one did. It stars some of the same actors and actresses …

“The Other Woman” is a romantic comedy directed by Nick Cassavetes (the same from “The Notebook” and “Alpha Dog”) and starred by Cameron Diaz (Carly), Leslie Man (Kate) and Kate Upton (Amber). The plot is pretty simple: a girl falls for a guy, a guy falls for a girl, …

When it comes to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, Conan the Destroyer is always the first one that comes to mind.
A sequel to Conan the Barbarian, this one is a bit more kid friendly but still has plenty of action and interesting monsters to keep everyone entertained.
In the movie, Conan is …

I have been dying to watch this movie ever since I saw its trailer in the movie house a few weeks ago. The movie was about a Chihuahua and I saw some of the “casts” as well like some pugs and other kind of dogs so I got interested …

This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …

From 1953, Latin Lovers was a fun romantic comedy about a woman with a whole lot of money she didn’t really care about. Played by Lana Turner, Nora Taylor would rather be in love than deal with her $37 million dollars. Persuing her is confident Paul Chevron, …

Clueless, a hit movie about teenagers more than a decade ago, was one of my favorite movies as a teenager. This movie was shown at a perfect timing for me as a teenager myself during the 90’s. Its main character, Cher, played by Alicia Siverstone, could be a good …

When I first put in the Baby Mozart DVD my baby was just born and her response even at that young of an age was so positive I went out and bought the set of all 20 and am very glad I did.
The DVD’s state which ones are …

One of the movies we ended up re-watching for …

Even though I’m already a grown up, I love watching cartoons, animated movies and especially Barbie! I’ve watched The Barbie Diaries like countless times and just am not bored with it at all. This is just like your typical chick flick; only animated version.
Barbie and her friends …

This movie stars Micheal Keaton, and I’m pretty sure that it’s classified as a horror flick, perhaps more accurately “thriller”.
The film focuses around EVP (electronic voice phenomenon). Basically, it’s where one records “white noise” from a television set and/or radio, perhaps asking questions they hope to be answered. …

It took me a very long time to actually sit down and watch the movie America’s Sweethearts since I’ve never been a big fan of the actress Julia ROberts because I’m so used to seeing her in romance movies, and frankly, she has never held my attention. Thus, …

This made-for-TV movie tells the story of Anna Anderson, a woman who claimed to be Anastasia, the daughter of the last Russian czar Nicholas II. Whether you believe that Anna Anderson actually was the Grand Duchess Anastasia or not (the movie is built on the premise that she was), …

Well the other night he …

Digital “piracy” has been around for a while now, and it is a movement that is growing every day. There have been quite a few documentaries made about the phenomenon, one of those just happens to be Steal This Film II. It isn’t specifically about file sharing …

Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire contains spoilers.
Usually, a more action-oriented movie like this would be at or near the top of my list of favorites since the action/adventure genre is one of my top two movie genres. But Harry Potter and the Goblet …

I have bought this recently released boxed set of DVD’s on Amazon.com for $42, which I think is quite a bargain for 6 great movies. I am a huge Dickens fan, I’ve been hunting for different movie versions of his different stories for years, so this 2005 BBC release …

The Bag Man is a film which I did enjoy watching despite its technical flaws. What kept me glued to it was the fact that the contents of the bag weren’t revealed until much later. At first, when my friend recommended me to watch The Bag Man I had …

I recently caught this movie while flipping through HBO, and I had to write a review on it since I’m an avid vampire fan.
Cirque du Freak is a very unique vampire film for it deals with a number of issues that plague teenagers today, like friendship, parents, life and …

I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …

I had seen the trailer for the movie “The Brothers Grimsby” previously but wrote it off and forgot about it because I didn’t think that it would be great at all. However, after seeing the audience’s reaction to a clip of the movie on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I became …

Reeker is darn scary. You should rent this and watch; it is awesomely scary and something that I would truly opt for if you want to watch in a group, say on a scary Friday night with the weekend in tow and nothing to do.
The plot goes …

I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …

I loved Mean Girls. I already knew Regina wouldn’t be here and this cast of the sequel would all be new but still, I’m a girl and I’d love to see how this 2nd Mean Girls movie would turn out. Turns out my expectations were right. This was nowhere …

I have seen almost every Frankenstein movie ever made and have to say, after seeing Curse of Frankenstein, I’m convinced Christopher Lee is the best at playing the classic literary monster (sorry Boris Karloff).
Made in the 1950s, The Curse of Frankenstein actually focuses more on Victor Frankenstein (played by …

Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …

Doris Day and Rock Hudson team up again for Lover Come Back from 1961. It’s a really fun and daffy romantic comedy that I enjoy a lot, though Pillow Talk is my favorite of their three motion pictures together.
In Lover Come Back, both Day and Hudson play ad …

Arizona Days, one of the many western motion pictures released way back in 1937, was just Tex Ritter’s 3rd movie. As one of the new singing cowboys, the big thing to note here is that his trusted horse, White Flash, wasn’t credited yet. That would change soon, …

This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …

The Science of Sleep, starring Gael Garcia Bernal (of “Y Tu Mama Tambien”) is a very strange film directed by Michel Gondry (who also directed “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). The film follows a young man who happens to fancy his neightbor Stephanie.
The beauty of this film …

I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …

After watching it, I …
