I have watched Summer Catch on DVD before starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr. They look so romantic together and I feel that they have a super chemistry together. Too bad they are not together in real life. The ending is a good one and I …

In this movie, viewers get …

With hollywood turning every comic book into a movie that they can find, quality has some how taken a back seat. I’m not sure why these hollywood mega moguls would sacrifice putting out a good movie. It’s not like they need the money afterall. But nonetheless, quality is put …

My wife and I came across the movie Walking Tall on television last night (the re-make, not the original) and, because we hadn’t seen it in a while, decided to watch it.
I haven’t seen the original yet and can’t compare the two. But, this one, starring The Rock, was …

What is this movie about? I can answer that in two words: bar dancing. There is nothing else in it, really. No story to speak of, just a few events to get the main character to work at the bar - and then it is all about girls dancing …

In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …

The first time I watched the “Just Friends” Dvd, I was nearly in tears. I love this movie. The actors play their roles so well, that the viewer is fully capable of feeling sympathy, embarrassment, anger, joy, ect for all of the characters. I can’t begin to recall the …

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.

It’s a story about a trash robot that was left on earth, along with other trash robots, all most seven hundred years ago. Humans had made so much trash …

Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film.

A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …

This movie is fantastic. It’s a story which can happen everyday and it’s so realistic and original and simple that I think what makes it one good movie to watch. The story features Edward Norton, Jon Voight, and Colin Farrell as the main cast. The plot is about a …

St Trinian’s is a laugh out loud movie that I’ve watched and it wouldn’t work without the funnymen Colin Firth and Rupert Everett especially. This is a story about a school called St Trinian’s and the students are trying their best to save this school from a deep pit …

Whoever decided to cast a “buddy” movie with Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence & William H Macy as the co-starring friends was truely inspired. Sometimes when you have too much talent it can backfire, but these four pulled it off really well.

The only positive thing that I could say about this movie is that it is consistent, that is, similar to the book where it was based from, it consistently disappoints. About a year ago, I remember my curiosity when everyone seemed very interested, so much into this new series …

Don’t make the mistake to regard the movie “Nim’s Island” as just another movie for kids. This movie is ideal for all the family jam-packed with drama, romance and funny moments. Apart from providing us with a cute and entertaining story, “Nim’s Island” has got an A-List of actors …
