Florence Foster Jenkins (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
No movies this year has really blew my mind yet. Unlike last year, heavyweights such as Mad Max: Fury Road and Inside Out were already released by this time and they were among the best films released last year. The blockbusters this year continues to underwhelm, and upon checking my …
Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …
The Shoes of the Fisherman movie
Two of my absolute favorite actors of all time, Anthony Quinn and Laurence Olivier, appear in this film about the russian Kyril Lakota, who after 20 years in a siberian prison is elected as the new pope. I don’t have to mention the acting is brilliant I guess, but …
Leatherheads movie

Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
Little Man movie
It’s amazing what they can do with the help of computers today. Marlon Wayans, who is not little at all, plays the “Little Man” - a midget, a criminal named Calvin. Calvin and his buddy Percy steal a huge diamond which they later have to hide in a young …

I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
When Adam Sandler first started out in films, I was a huge fan. But, after some pretty crappy films, I found myself no longer going out of my way to see any of his movies. However, I�m glad I rented his newest movie, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & …
The Last Holiday
This is indeed a feel-good movie story, starring Queen Latifah as well as L.L. Cool J and some other casts.
The storyline is about Georgia Byrd, starred by Queen whom only has 3 weeks to live and she decides to spend her hard-earned money and go on a shopping …
Movie Rocky
Rocky came out in 1976 and was written by and stars Sylvester Stallone. It is a movie that has inspired me most of my life. It’s about an average, unknown boxer who gets a shot at the Heavyweight Championship.
In the movie, the Champion, Apollo Creed, …
“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
Transporter 3 (2008)
The third time is definitely not the charm as in relates to the Transporter franchise, they should have stooped at the first one, but it seems that everyone sees the need to make a trilogy these days. This time around, Frank played by Jason Statham, is accidentally thrown into …
Tokyo Story (1953 film) from Criterion Collection
I need to recover from watching too many Audrey Hepburn movies and TCM over cable television. I wondered why this film always made it to everyone’s list of favorite movies. In an effort to change my film source, I looked at some hard to find copies of …
Movie In The Mix 2005
I found the movie very exciting. I like the way Usher as Darrell partrayed his charactor as a very loyal young man who willingly put his own life on the line when he accepted the position as a body guard of a women Emmanuelle Chriqui as Dolly whom he …

Pet Sematary
Pet Sematary is s very scary movie. I think this is one of Stephen King’s best movies ever made to date. The thing that was scary about this movie was that is had lots of things to do with death and ghosts. I also think that the movie was scary …
Larry the Cable Guy: Witless Protection
I’m a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan; both his stand up comedy and the several movies he’s starred in recently. So, I couldn’t wait to see his newest film, Witless Protection.
While a funny movie, I have to say it really didn’t live up to the standards set by …
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
The second movie in the National Treasure Series was fantastic, even though I had never expected them to make another. And they took it up to a whole other level, it was really something. There was action and mystery like in the first, but less factual stuff, and more …
Netflix.com
We have now had Netflix service three different times in three different states. This has provided us with a variety of experiences. We started in Michigan where shipping times were a little slow. It usually took about two days to get our movies, two days to return them, and …

Let The Right One In - (starring Lina Leandersson)
Let The Right One In is a superb watch. For horror fans out there, be sure to catch this one. I’m not kidding. The story is about a little boy named Oscar and it seems like he has a harmless imaginary friend pretty much real to him …
There Will Be Blood movie
My wife and I picked out the movie “There Will Be Blood” because it looked and sounded like it would be a great action film.
They should have called the movie “There Will be Boredom.”
I won’t say it was a bad movie, because, from what I saw of it, it …
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Well, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, can be summed up as this: “Great Classic Western”. Clint Eastwood does an exceptional job as the main character. The main story is about three men who are all on a quest to retrieve a stolen cash box that is buried …
The Game Plan
I would describe this recent release as nothing special but okay. While it is probably not going to become a beloved classic, this family-oriented movie is warm, clean, funny at times, and it tries to deliver a positive message. In a nutshell, a tough NFL football player too full …

Devdas movie
One of the most expensive Bollywood movies ever. I am not a very big fan of indian films, but perhaps that is because I didn’t see that many yet, I’m not sure. Devdas is about a man who returns to India after a long exile abroad, falls in love …

Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
Brideshead Revisited
For those of you who are old enough you will remember the epic 11 hour series Brideshead Revisited which was without a doubt one of the best TV series ever to come out of England. If you go to the movie Brideshead Revisited expecting the same great script and …
Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie
Cheaper By The Dozen 1 (the first movie) is a great story. It’s about a family called the Bakers who have twelve children. Tom Baker played by Steve Martin is classic in his part. He stays true to the comical type of actor that he is. Tom’s wife played …
Used Cars
Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.
He works for a used cars retailer …
Happy Feet
The movie “Happy feet” was great. I brought it for my granddaughters to watch, but I really enjoyed watching it myself. I like the dancing peniguns and the characters portray in the story line. The
choregraphing for the movie was very creative, the music was enlightening. I like the movie …

Synopsis: After years of dedication to ballet, a dancer (Natalie Portman) gets the opportunity to play the Swan Queen in an upcoming production of Swan Lake. However, the role proves to be very challenging and, as a result, her mind starts to unravel as the stress gets to her.
What …
Iron Man Movie
I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …
I am Legend Movie
I was very excited going into this movie. I really like Will Smith and could not wait to see what he was going to do with this unique role. I was a little skeptical at first, since he was the only person in the movie, but I didn’t let …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …
The Last Samurai Movie
I have never appreciated The Last Samurai until it was pointed out at one of the conventions I attended recently. One of the speakers at the convention pointed out that the values and tradition upheld by these ancient Japanese warriors are significant in the building of a person’s character.
After the …
Barn Yard
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I just did not know what to expect from Otis and the hill surfing to the motorcycle ride back to the farm. I think and fell that each character brought that little extra something that every film needs. The twist and turns …
The Jane Austen Book Club
I don’t recommend watching The Jane Austen Book Club if you are the acting pack type of movie buff or if you are just looking for an action love story filled with romantic notions and all that.
For this movie is plainly about a book club started out by …
Private Parts (1997)
Private Parts, is the telling of radio personality Howard Stern. As spoken by him, he tells the tall tale after his appearance on MTV’s Music Video Awards show where while on a flight back home, he tries to impress a woman who was initially disgusted by him, by telling …
Kill Bill 2
My mind flies to the time I had seen Kill Bill 1, on the very first night it had been given to the crowd. I, as everybody else who rispected Q. Tarantino, waited for another grand work on the big screen.
I still remember the crowd’s reactions that night.
Now, after …
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
This is a busy movie. So much hinges on it. I think this movie hinged, moving away from a pure children’s film to a more teen or older movie. The themes and atmosphere gained maturity, right alongside the characters.
By busy I mean that this film had to introduce several …
Happy Feet movie
The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …
Incredibles,movie
The best CGI movie to-date. What else can be said? This film is a most see for both adults and children. A true family hit. You cannot go wrong renting or buyng it. The Incredibles will is the greatest true action movie to hit the screen. If you haven’t …
Bucket List
I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.
I personally found the ‘iraqi’ scientist, the same actor that plays that dude in ‘Lost’, …
