Sex and the City (2008)
I love watching Sex and the City, the series before on TV, and now that there’s a movie rendition, I sure wouldn’t want to miss it at all. As usual, it stars the lovely and gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker and the other lovely ladies as well such as …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …
Happy Feet
During the summer I took my 6 year old son to see the musical movie “Happy Feet”. I was very pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed the movie as much if not more than my son. While the overall appeal of the movie definetly stemmed from well …
The 10th Kingdom (2000 Film)
In 2000 a mini-series came out that ran over the course of three nights and it was called “The 10th Kingdom”. It was a pressing story line that had to deal with magic, romance, adventure, and a girl trying to find her way back home. The mini-series has become …
Movie Mirrors
For me it’s difficult to watch Kiefer Sutherland and not think Jack Bauer (his character from 24 on the FOX network). However, even with that distraction I still ended up enjoying Mirrors, even though I’m usually highly critical about this type of movie.
Mirrors is the story of an …
Over Her Dead Body
When I rented the movie Over Her Dead Body, I thought I would get a cute romantic comedy. I did. But, I also got a movie that was actually a bit dull.
While Eva Longoria Parker does a great job in the starring role of a fiancée who is killed …

The Curse of the Wear Rabbit
The Curse of The Wear Rabbit seem to amaze me when it comes to special effects. I like how they made the clays to move in the scenes as if they were real. I like how they made the clay models seem to be living. I also like how …
The Notebook movie

Shrek 2
The funniest movie you’ll ever see. That is how I had this movie advertised to me. I laughed and said no way when I heard this. And after seeing the movie I am ready to admit..I was right. This movie is no where NEAR the …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
When I was a youngster, I was not much of a horror movie fan, so I did not see get around to seeing George Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978. It has only been since I became an adult that I have grown to appreciate the …

Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla had the potential to be an exciting and incredible Godzilla movie in my eyes, but something truly ruined it: the overuse of beam and energy weapons. Godzilla spends a good portion of this movie shooting stuff with his radioactive beam. MechaGodzilla spends a good portion of …
Mystic River
Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …

The Divergent Series: Insurgent (science fiction adventure movie)
After enjoying the first movie in the Divergent franchise, I was happy to know that there would actually be a sequel. I expected that it might be a lot better than even the first one especially since it would probably have more action and fight scenes. I was also interested …
“The Tale of Despereaux” (2008 Film)

Wedding Crashers movie

Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace

Frozen 2013 Animation (Movie)
After my cousin told me that an animation movie titled “Frozen” is leading the box-office. I knew this movie had some great odds of getting on top of my best animation movies list with “Tangled”. Tangled was released in 2010 with a great funny, hooking story and heart conquering …

Movie The Sure Thing
I admit I really enjoy watching John Cusack’s movies. He manages to be great in whatever character he interprets. “The Sure Thing” represents one of his early movies so one gets to see Cusack in much younger version together with cute actress, Daphne Zuniga of “Melrose Place” TV series.
“The …

Paranormal Activity (Movie)
Although this movie was found to be corny and unhorrifyingly unsuspenseful by some members of my family, I found this too scary and I was really scared watching this movie. This movie had come out in 2007 but it was only shown last year in our country and I …
Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …

Night of the Demons (2009 movie)
I guess the majority of me figured that based on the rather silly title of this movie, as well as the description that I had read about it on the electronic cable guide, the movie “Night of the Demons” wasn’t going to be very good. However, I ended up …
