The God Who Wasn’t There documentary
The documentary, “The God Who Wasn’t There” is about providing evidence to make a case that the historical figure of Jesus Christ never actually existed. The film is only about an hour long, but makes its case quickly without hesitation or concern about offending anyone. The material includes interviews …

The toys were followed by the emergence of …
Nim’s Island (2008) Movie
The plot of Nim’s Island is very simple and quite predictable. I only watched it because I liked the cast and I especially expected nothing short of great from Abigail Breslin who played Nim.
The story was really geared towards children with its fantastical theme and Nim’s animal friends. …
Jurassic Park
I saw this movie as a kid and since then have seen it many times with equal interest every time. It is one of the most brilliantly animated movies I have ever seen. The 3D graphics make each and every Dinosaur spring to life on the screen, and …
Black Swan Movie
The funny thing about Black Swan is that I should really have no reason to want to watch it. True, it’s a film by Darren Aranofsky, who’s acclaimed film “Requiem for a Dream” is one of my favorite movies, and who also gave us “The Wrestler”, but none of …
Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street
I just finished watching this movie at home and I wasn’t quite happy with the flow of the story or plot. Although the lead character Johnny Depp did a fantastic job as the barber who turned out to be a serial killer in Fleet street. The story …
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is a rather nice but strange movie. The idea of a magical store is really awesome and in this movie, Dustin Hoffman stars together along with Natalie Portman and with a little help from the cute boy, Zach Mills.
Natalie’s character is the favorite of Dustin …

The Maltese Falcon
I have seen dozens of mysteries but none of them compare to the movie The Maltese Falcon. Even though the movie was made 34 years before I was born, it is still the best murder mystery ever.
Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the detective Sam Spade. There’s nothing to not …
Disney’s The GamePlan
Today I watched Disney’s The Gameplan starring Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson and Madison Pettis. It turned out to be a surprisingly refreshing movie with a nice family friendly message and a huge sense of humor. A comedy / drama that gets us caught up in the …
Failure to launch/Matthew Mcconagughey & Sarah Jessica Parker
I loved this movie tremendously. As a survivor of the dating scene, I think we have all encountered at least one guy like this. It seems like he is the perfect guy that you have long been searching for. He has all the great qualities and looks irresistable. Then …
Katt Williams: American Hustle: The Movie (R, 2007)
I have never seen a stand-up comedy movie as funny as this one. I was a little weirded out by the fact that it was a “movie”–and not just a consecutive stand-up routine that was filmed. This movie featured Katt Williams and other comedians. But what …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Due Date: Movie
Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Movie)
As an avid reader of the Hunger Games trilogy, I was very excited for the next installment in the movie franchise. I thought the first movie was okay, giving it a rating of 7/10, but I’m glad to say that this second installment is a huge improvement over the …
Munsters Season 1 DVD
Without a doubt, one of the all time classic television programs was the landmark 1964 sitcom the Munsters. The program capitalized on the rise in popularity of the golden age of horror movies which were debuting on syndicated television and launching the monster boom of the late 1950’s to …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …
Gods and Monsters movie
Very engaging film about the famous horror movie director, James Whale, who made Frankenstein for instance back in the 1930s. In this film he is old, and wonderfully played by Ian McKellen. James Whale, who was openly homosexual, falls in love with his many years younger gardener, who at …

The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
Epic the Movie (2013)
Another fun-filled family adventure movie is here; from the makers of the Ice Age series and Rio, Epic feels to me like a magical combination of The Borrowers and Fern Gulley. I found myself being transported back to my childhood when I would have watched such films. However I …
The Martian (Movie )
Ever since I was a kid, I always dreamed of being an astronaut. Now that may seem be a common dream for people who loves science (like I do), but mine was totally different. I have been making researches about astronomy by the time I was in 5th grade up …
The Judge (2014 drama movie)
“The Judge” wasn’t really one of those movies whose trailer sparked much interest for me. As a matter of fact I didn’t expect that it would be very good even though it had some talented actors in it such as Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, and Vera Farmiga. However after …
March of the Penguins documentary
This documentary is both educational and entertaining. It is fun to learn more about these cute, flightless, birds.
The penguins followed in this film are Emperor penguins, which are the only penguins which live year round on Antarctica. They have to survive very cold weather and the chicks which are …
The Karate Kid Movie 2010
Ok, so I had watched this movie 2 times in the theater, and I would watch it again if given the chance! This movie runs for 2 hours, which I didn’t even notice as the time flew by for me. First, this movie is perfect for all ages, whether …

Movie Gridiron Gang 2006
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I got a lot of excitement and enthusiasm from the character The Rock as Dwayne who played the football coach for a teenage group of troubled youths at a detention center. The exciting part of his character was how he expressed himself when …
Movie Transformers
When I heard that the Transformers was going to be made into a movie, I was so looking forward to it. I was in grade school during the 80’s when the cartoons became so popular on TV. There were even toys sold everywhere for every character. I wondered how …
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (Spy Comedy Movie)
Before I was able to watch the 2015 movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I admit that I didn’t have much of an idea what it was going to be about. The only thing I knew about it was that it was supposed to be based on a spy series that …

Transformers Animated Series - Bumblebee Action Figure
The Bumblebee action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is really cool. It retails for anywhere from $10.00 to $12.00 and can be found at many retailers, including Walmart, Kmart, and ToysRUs. Bumblebee is about 6 inches tall in robot mode and is a …
Vampires: The Turning movie
There is a good reason behind why I find it hard to like many of John Carpenter’s movies. I find that most of them are mediocre with inferior acting, terrible makeup, a silly plot, and even sillier script and so on. Thus, like many of John Carpenter’s movies, “Vampires: …

I have watched the movie ‘Happy Feet’. This is a very nice movie. This movie is about penguins. The story line is good. There is a penguin couple in Antarctica. This couple gives birth to a male penguin.

Skyfall movie
The film experience of Skyfall, I think is totally vigorous; and energizing for the audience member. It was for me: that is certain. I believe: Daniel Craig in the role of Bond is a Bond character that continues to grow on you–for certain. At first …
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 Movie
I couldn’t wait until the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie came out on DVD. Everyone in my family loved the first one and, even though I figured it might not be as good as the original, I was still looking forward to seeing the sequel.
Unfortunately, the second movie …
