Shrek the Third
In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …

Carny Movie
I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.

Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors Movie
I would not necessarily call myself a die hard slasher movie fanatic, but it is safe to say I love me some Freddy Kreuger. Of all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies I have seen, and believe me I have seen them at least three lifetimes over, I would have …

Star Wars: A New Hope
This movie, more than any movie before or since, did more to affect my life. It helped to define a career path, and it awoke in me a level of creativity I had never known. I was, needless to say, hooked.
The most intriguing aspect of Star Wars, was that, …
The Box movie

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 Hot Chick Movie
This is a really funny and crazy movie that I would want to watch from time to time! It features Rachel McAdams and Anna Faris as close buddies, they’re really sort of a mean clique because of Rachel as their leader, but when they’re all together they’re really sweet …
Liar Liar
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Jim Carey film Liar Liar and, whene it was on one of our movies channels today, I decided to watch it again.

Gravity Movie 2013
There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie

‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ movie
Star Wars movies that take place before “A New Hope” don’t have the best track record. When Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, however, they decided to take another crack at it.
Was this a way to milk the cash cow beyond just doing another trilogy? Yeah, …
My Fellow Americans
About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …

Tattoed Life movie
This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
I ended up picking up the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for my daughter. When I did, I figured I would have to suffer through the movie with her and then would put her to bed and find something better to watch later.
It turns out it was …
Cool Runnings
This 1993 movie, Cool Runnings, was another huge surprise to me. I just happen to watch it one day on cable when a fluke of going up and down the channels landed on it. I became hooked on it, and now it’s a movie I enjoy watching …
The Elephant Man (1980)
Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …

There Will Be Blood (epic drama movie)
I’ve found it so strange that I had never heard of the 2007 movie “There Will Be Blood” until late last year. Even then I still had no idea what to expect of it because of the title. A major part of me figured that the plot might have something …
