The Witch (2015 Horror film)
As soon as I saw the trailer and began to hear a lot of good reviews about it, I searched long and hard for the 2015 movie “The Witch”. I’m a huge supernatural horror movie fan, and so the excitement was contagious. I found it on blu-ray and I expected …

In Her Shoes (movie)
In Her Shoes made me like Cameron Diaz. For whatever reasons, I have never been impressed with this actor and just didn’t think that much of her. In Her Shoes changed my mind. While I still do not consider Cameron Diaz to be one of my favorite actors, she …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
The River Wild
Most movies that star Kevin Bacon have him as a lovable person. The River Wild is one of those movies that’s a bit different because it turns the guy who usually plays a hero into the villain and the contrast works.
The thing I like about The River Wild is …
The Passion of the Christ
The Passion of the Christ made me cry buckets of tears. I’m a devout Catholic but only after seeing this movie did I truly come to realize God’s love for us (He gave his only son to save us from our sins). Directed by Mel Gibson, this controversial and …

The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
Bewitched movie
I must admit that I enjoy watching the director, Nora Ephron movies. She gave us great romantic comedies, such “When Harry meet Sally”, “Sleepless in Seattle” and “You Have Got Mail”. I feel that she lost her magic touch in this movie and it is no wonder that the …
Sky-High movie
If you are born in a super hero family and that too with the best super-dad and super-mom then expectation with you are very high! But what if you find yourself unable to identify any traits of super-power in yourself! That’s what the movie is based on! Will Stronghold …
Dante’s Peak movie
As a rule, I love disaster movies. I’ve watched a bunch, and many of them are on my favorite movies list. I was therefore eager to see this movie when it first came out. I remember being a little disappointed in the action. Recently, I …

Step Brothers
I watched Step Brothers on DVD the other night and I was laughing so crazy! I do not realize that a movie starring just these two actors, namely Dale, acted out by John C. Reilly and Brennan, acted out by Will Ferrell could really be hand-clapping funny and fun. …
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 …

In this film, …
Movie Sister Act
I doubt if there is someone who didn’t watch this hilarious comedy with the actress, Whoopi Goldberg at her best. If there is someone who didn’t watch it, run to the nearest DVD bookshop and by a copy right now!
“Sister Act” is about a singer Deloris Van Cartier (Goldberg) …
Get Smart (2008 movie)
Get Smart isn’t the latest film out. It actually is a pretty old film as it was released in 2008. Nevertheless, my iTunes balance was running low and I wanted to use my remaining balance on a cheap film.
Get Smart remind of of Johnny English. This movie really …
Silkwood movie
1983’s Silkwood is a powerful story. It’s also a true story which makes it tremendously poignant and meaningful. It’s also a story with an uncertain ending, even to this day.
This is the story of Karen Silkwood, a young woman who worked at a nuclear plant and realized …
That Touch of Mink movie
From 1962, That Touch of Mink pairs Doris Day with the debonair Cary Grant. For me, this has always been somewhat of an odd couple, but it made for a good motion picture, never the less. There certainly are a lot of reasons to enjoy this entertaining …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …

Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Very curious indeed!
I had high hopes for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Firstly Brad Pitt was in it (how could it possibly be anything but great) and secondly it has been nominated for so many awards that I was really looking forward to seeing it. Unfortunately, although I …
BlockBuster Video in Westford MA
Blockbuster in Westford is a very good place to rent your movies at. I liked going to this particular blockbuster because of the neatness, size, customer service and the fact that the movie I always wanted to get was always in, no matter what.
When you pull into Blockbuster you …
Mickey Blue Eyes
I think I must have watched “Mickey Blue Eyes” endless times and I still keep watching it. What I like about it most is that it presents a very different perspective on how to portrait the mafia on the big screen. One can have no difficulty believing the mafia …
Inkheart movie
The movie is a fantasy adventure film. It is about a man with the gift of making the characters and stories of the book come alive when he reads the book aloud. The movie started interestingly enough, of evoking a sense of wonderment regarding this absolutely fascinating novel character …
Cowboys And Aliens movie
Hopefully you have loving friends and/or family members who have already warned you to stay away from this epic abomination, but in case you don’t-or if you are actually an adult considering seeing a movie whose very title screams “AWFUL!” louder than an atomic blast-DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
The Perfect Storm movie
With a cast of actors such as George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane, the movie “The Perfect Storm” had a certain guarantee to be a good movie. I must say that after watching it, what really stole the scene in this movie are the extraordinary special effects. It …

Dallas Season One
Oh wow was the first season of Dallas and the miniseries that launched the program was awesome! In a lot of ways, this was the prototype for Prime Time soap operatic drama for two decades to come. Yes, I loved the show even as a little kid watching it …

Pitch Perfect, movie
This movie was pretty good. I won’t have that much to say about it. Even though it was a well-adjusted movie it wasn’t the best, and improvements could be made to it. This isn’t so much about the movie belonging to a specific genre than it is about music. …
Carnival of Souls movie

The 40-Year-Old Version
This must be one of the filthiest comedy flicks out there - if I may call it comedy; make it one bit dirtier, and you’d be talking about porn. I am shocked to see some established reviewers praise this trash as not only funny but “sweet” and even “innocent.” …
