Slumdog Millionaire movie

The Patriot (movie)
Of the Mel Gibson movies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put The Patriot toward the top of the list. But, it is still a good historical fiction film to consider on a weekend when you want to feel a bit more patriotic.
The thing I like about this movie is it …
The Unbelievable Truth movie
This is one of my favorite Hal Hartley films. Brave, daring narrative and visual style, an engaging story focused on human dignity and about the coolest soundtrack ever makes this one of Hartley’s prime works, and also places him in the rare group of interesting american filmmakers the last …
Angel Eyes movie
“Angel Eyes” was promoted as a Jennifer Lopez movie because, at the time, she was a very hot celebrity; however this movie is all about the acting talents of James Caviezel. Although the movie was promoted as one of the best roles for Lopez, it didn’t live up to …
Beerfest Movie
The movie Beerfest takes two things I enjoy, beer and movies and combines them together to make a fun summer flick. Beerfest, as you can tell by the title is nto an intellectual film, its not even a remotely serious film. Beerfest covers the life of two Americans who …

1. Did I stay interested / awake throughout the entire movie ?
A. Plenty of action but the movie seemed 30 mins too long.

A. Only if I was a James Bond fanatic.
3. Would I take my partner …
They Live a classically bad sci-fi flick
I’m actually old enough to remember Roddy Piper in his prime as a pro wrestler and when he left the industry to pursue a movie career. As the movie They Live proves, he should have stuck to wrestling.
Overall, it’s not a terrible movie. Piper plays a homeless man who …
Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …
Lake Dead Movie

Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …
Baby’s Day Out movie
When I was still pregnant I love watching baby movies and Baby’s Day Out was one of the movies that I saw. I love watching it because even if its somewhat old I still find it very enjoyable. I enjoyed how much the baby was able to do all …
Casino Royale Movie
I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …

Jerry Blake (Terry O’Quinn), a real estate agent, has chosen a rather unusual path in life, to put it mildly: he moves in with single mothers with children, plays a good husband/stepfather for a while, and then murders the family and takes off. He takes precautions like changing his …
“It Must be Love” (2004 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
This 2004 Lifetime Movie Network film, “It Must be Love”, starring Ted Danson and real life wife Mary Steenburgen, was as adorable romance to say the very least. The simple plot that captures the attention of the viewer is hard to ignore. It was also very interesting to see …

John Carter (movie)

Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray, who in my opinion is the greatest comedian since Groucho Marx, appears in the film a journalist who has to relive a day over and over. Apparently there is something he does wrong in this did and he tries to figure out what it is, but as …

Movie: Open Graves
I don’t know why I bother taping “horror” films off of the SyFy channel. Yes, occasionally, they will have a decent one. But, more often than not, the movies are actually pretty darn terrible.
The film Open Graves is a good example of that.
I DVR’d this film back in February …

Vampire in Brooklyn Movie
When I saw that it was an Eddie Murphy movie, I expected good comedy, perhaps something like Mel Brooks’ “Dracula: Dead and Loving It” with Leslie Nielsen, a funny twist of a classic. Well, I was wrong. Apparently, the creators of “Vampire in Brooklyn” meant it to be for …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …

I always watch movies and I have many actors to appreciate each time.
