An Education movie
In the avalanche of poor films of 2010, I thought to bring to your attention a film from 2009, which, if you missed it somehow, it would worth seeing it in the weekend.
An Education, is a movie that was nominated for three-time at Oscars in 2010. This is an …
Serendipity
I think that the best way to describe the movie “Serendipity” is John Cusack’s success movie as an attempt to return to his origins. We can remember that in the being of his career Cusack was involved in the successful movie project “The Sure Thing”. “Serendipity” is Cusack’s version …
Jackie, 2016 movie
Grief is universal. People can be rich; can be poor; can be famous; can be no one; or can be a first lady like Jackie Kennedy - all of whom will experience the loss of a loved one. You either cry or you try to act like a strong person …
Cujo
If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …
The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
My Best Friend’s Wedding
I would hear about the movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding” for a very long time throughout my time in high school, but I never got a chance to watch it as I rarely would see it on cable television. I didn’t know it was a romance movie at the …

Dumb and Dumber To - Comedy Movie (2014)
I went in expecting this movie to be as funny as its prequel (Dumb and Dumber), which released 20 years ago. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations but nevertheless it was funny. It was extremely ‘dumb’ enough to invoke laughter throughout the film. The film has done extremely …

Movie Alex and Emma
“Alex & Emma” is simply a great romantic movie with comic moments in it. I personally liked a lot the actress, Kate Hudson because she interprets 5 different roles in it. I personally had a great laugh when she interpreted the role of maid and a child minder in …
Jack and Jill (movie)
The first time I had heard of the movie “Jack and Jill” was when I had seen the trailer posted on youtube a little before the movie was released. I wasn’t particularly interested in it then, especially since a couple of people who had watched it in the theatres …

Pulp Fiction (1994)
There is no other movie like Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” It is definitely at the top of my favorites list. This movie is chocked full of best talent that Hollywood has to offer. With big names like Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Uma Thurman and …
Cassanova movie
I’ve always heard of people referring to womanizers as “Cassanovas” but I never knew where that reference originated. I always wondered if there was actually a man in history who was named Cassanova and used to be a smooth talking womanizer but I had never actually taken the time …
The Remains of the Day
I am so glad I have found this treasure of a movie. A forgotten treasure, unfortunately; I have never heard of it before, neither have I heard other people mention it. I hope this review will help to draw much deserved attention to this thoughtful, well-acted, well-paced production. I …
Movie: The Box
Oh how trailers can be deceiving, this weekend my older sister and I went to the movie theater in search of some action to spice up the night. An hour before we had seen a trailer for a movie called The Box, sounded pretty mysterious. …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …
Christmas with the Kranks
I just finished Christmas with the Kranks and it is a cute holiday movie. It stars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and has other big stars in it like Caroline Rhea, Dan Akroyd, Felicity Huffman and Cheech Marin. The premise of the movie is that the Krank’s daughter …
Tschick (German Movie)
Tschick is a movie directed by director Fatih Akin based on a best-selling Young Adult novel Tschick (translated as Why We Took the Car in English). It’s a shame I cannot find a trailer for the movie with English subtitles even though the film is released with English subtitles. So …
Man in the Iron Mask
In the late ninteen nineties the young actor Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. This was because not only was his acting good, but his movies were usually very interesting and he was a very handsome young man. Thus when the movie “Man in …
Relic Movie
Relic is one of my favorite movies, though the book the film was based on is much better. The movie takes place entirely at a natural history museum in New York. One of the museum workers sends a relic that he found overseas back to the museum and it …
King Kong Film
This was surely the worst film I have seen in over a year. For the director to say he spent his whole life wanting to re-make this film is a joke as he couldn’t of done a worse job. The storyline is exactly the same as in …

Ghost World
Watching Ghost World is not quite like watching a chick flick. Although you see American Beauty actress Thora Birch and the sweet and innocent look actress, Scarlett Johansson star. This is kind of an exploration type of movie and I feel that each character in the story has …
Jawbreaker (1999) Movie
One of my favorite movies when I was younger was Jawbreaker. This movie shows a typical mean-girls’ group who went to great lengths to play a prank on their good friend. This came out in 1999 when I was still in college, so watching this with girlfriends was …
Erin Brockovich movie
Erin Brockovich is in my opinion a semi-classic movie, which is good for watching many times over,rather than just once. For me it works at a lot of different levels, from being a simple “more power to women” movie, to a David v/s Goliath struggle against a large corporation, …
Carol (2015 Film)
I have been an avid follower of the Oscars’ race since 2013, when I was rooting for Gravity (then my favorite film of the year) to win the Best Picture (which would have been the first for a sci-fi film). And since then, I followed and watched all the films …

The Bridesmaids Movie
The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …
The Town Went Wild movie
The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …
The Four Feathers movie
I kept getting this movie from the library and neglecting to watch it, because for some reason I thought that it looked boring. Then, when I finally got down to watch it, I could not leave the couch for anything and miss a few moments of that movie. It …
Schindler’s List Movie 1993
I was only 13 years old when this movie was shown in theaters, Rated-R as it is, it sends curiosity in my mind as i hear people talk about it everywhere. A Steven Spielberg Film, all would have judged it even without seeing the film, with high expectations of …

Nebraska (comedy drama)
If you like family dramas, independent films and road trip movies like me, you might find yourself liking the movie Nebraska. It’s different from a lot of other films I’ve seen, the plot is exciting even though it’s simple and it strives to be realistic.
When the movie begins, we see …

I watched this movie in the theaters on a date. It was a really good movie. It kept me entertained and really interested as to what was going on. I really enjoyed the movie and so did they guy I was with. It’s a really good movie and I …
Everybody Wins
Everybody Wins with Nick Nolte, Debra Winger, Will Patton, and Jack Warden.
I have to admit that I only watched this movie because it featured sexy Debra Winger. There is an animal attraction about her that comes across on the big screen. In this movie, …
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010 Film)
In 2010, a film starring Michael Cera came out that looked to be something extremely interesting and a movie that he will be well known for. It was called “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”. Sad to say, that this film did not really hold the wow factor that I …
