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 …
Frequency
The movie “Frequency” which starred Dennis Quaid and James Caviezel as father and son tandem is a entertainingly family oriented film. It would make you realize the importance of having a father in the home. How tormenting it would be to a child who grows up without the …
Drop Dead Gorgeous
It has been a while since I saw the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous so I took the time to watch it this morning when it was on TV.
While not quite as funny as I remember it, it is still an entertaining film.
The movie is essentially a behind-the-scenes look at …
The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
Drop Dead Fred, 1991 movie
Drop Dead Fred which came out in 1991, starring Pheobe Cates, and Rik Mayall, remains one of my favorite movies of all time. I strongly recommend that if you like comedies that you see this movie. The movie is about a woman, Lizzie, who’s husband is seeing another woman …
Lone Survivor (war movie)
Lone Survivor was one of those movies that I delayed watching for a very long time, and ended up regretting my choice because it turned out so well. I’m also happy that I didn’t allow myself to read any of the reviews online about it, since about half of them …
Jackass Number Two (2006)
Similar to the first movie, this second installation into the Jackass franchise is just a bunch of segments put together to give us a feature length movie that has no plot direction of any kind. If you are familiar with the TV series and the first movie, you are …
Iron Man 3
Hey Guyz,
How are you all doing? Im fine by the way. I just went to see the Iron Man 3 movie just a few minutes ago and I only have one word to describe it! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! PURE EPICNESS!!! I mean WoW! the story line was great the …
X-Men Origins Wolverine
I was eagerly looking forward to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After watching it, I have mixed feelings. Oh, it was exciting, and visually spectacular, and the characters were all really interesting. It was nice to see so many new mutants with so many new powers. I liked that …
Movie - The Perfect Catch
I got to see “The Perfect Catch” and I just loved it. The movie starred Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. Successful math genius Lindsey(Barrymore) meets school teacher Ben (Jimmy) when he
brought along his class for a field trip to see first hand how …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is one of the best Harry Potter movies ever made. In fact, I recall that I did not like the fifth book in Harry Potter too much, but I ended up liking the movie a lot. Firstly, I liked that since …
The Adventures of Milo and Otis
The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …
Parinda Movie
Parinda was directed by Vidhu Vindod Chopara and was one of the first realistic and hard hitting film of its time. The story is about two brothers, one turns underworld don, the other becomes a police inspector, and the story of love , revenge , dilemma between the …
Get Smart movie
At first I was a bit skeptical about this movie. The trailer seems funny and exciting, but most boring movies do. So when I went to the cinema with my sister to watch something (Hancock excluded because she wanted to watch it with her bf) I have no other …
The Hangover 3 (movie)
Hangover 3 is the last part of the Hangover trilogy that was released in 2013. The last part of the trilogy was again directed by Todd Phillips who directed the first two parts of this trilogy. I previously enjoyed the Hangover and Hangover 2 like no other. It was …
Weird Science
The last time I watched the movie Weird Science, I was 12 years old and, while I understood some of what was going on, I�ll admit most of the stuff was a bit confusing.
So, when I found it on one of my premium movie channels the other day, I …
Something To Talk About (movie)
Something To Talk About is a movie about relationships. And if you love horses, you will love the equestrian action in this film! Julia Roberts is Grace, a bored and well to do housewife who works at her family’s horse ranch. She and her husband, Eddie (Dennis Quaid), have …
Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
Chinatown Kid (1977 movie)
When compiling a list of great martial arts movie stars several names are almost always expected to top that list, Bruce Lee is always present, as is Jackie Chan, and the same can likely be said for Jet Li. But, one name that is almost always painfully overlooked is …
Song of the Gringo movie
Song of the Gringo from 1936 is actually Tex Ritter’s first movie role. He does a decent job as he enters the rank of the singing cowboy, which ruled the era in many ways. Being his first picture, he doesn’t have a sidekick and poor White Flash, …
The Time Traveler’s Wife (movie)
The Time Traveler’s Wife is a movie starring Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams. It is based on the novel by the same name which was written by Audrey Niffenegger.
In the movie, Henry (Bana) has a genetic abnormality that causes him to time travel. He cannot …
The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
Cat’s Eye
I have to say I really enjoyed the Stephen King movie Cat’s Eye. This movie was very intense and actually had me feeling scared. I thought that Quitter’s INC was a very scary episode in the film. You see Cat’s Eye is made up of 3 short movies and it …
Charlotte’s Web
The movie “Charlotte’s Web” is one of the cutest movies I can ever remember watching. After seeing it I think that it is something that not just children, but the entire family will enjoy. I loved nearly everything about it. I have never gotten a chance to read the …
The Incredible Incredibles movie
My favorite Walt Disney produced movie to date, has to be The Incredibles. How anyone could not find sheer enjoyment and entertainment while watching this unique and colorful flick, I would not know. It is such a cool idea for a movie if you ask me! …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …
The Rock (1996)
I don’t mind watching movies that I like a number of times. This one has been played in our house and in some relative’ houses but I just kept hopping in. Not only because this is Sean Connery’s movie but also it’s Nicolas Cage’s and Ed Harris’ …
Flushed Away movie
Flushed Away is one great movie for me. I like Kate Winslet as an actress and in this cartoon movie she dubbed the voice of the female rat named Sid. I like the movie because I like to learn English more and here in this movie they were using …
Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …
The Devil Wears Prada
I was a bit bored last night because the baby was awake and I couldn’t seem to find anything on TV. So, I ended up going to one of our movie channels and watching the Devil Wears Prada once again.
You know what, this movie gets worse every time I …
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …
The Great Waldo Pepper movie
George Roy Hill works well with Robert Redford, including in this 1975 production, The Great Waldo Pepper. This movie is a little strange and sort of warpy. I really don’t know how to describe it. It’s dramatic and fun, but it’s not mainstream in many ways. …
The Killer Shrews
This is an older black and white horror movie. I’m unsure what year it was made, as I couldn’t find that information on the DVD box. It had the look of the 1950s or the 1960s to it, so it may be from one of those eras. I had …
28 Days Later
28 days later is your typical zombie movie even though what those things are can’t really be thought of as zombies.
Basically a virus spreads and turns everyone it came into contact with into bloodthirsty savages which kill on sight. Unlike zombies though they are faster and (at least in …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …
Suicide Kings movie
Suicide Kings is a 1997 thriller movie starring Christopher Walken as a mafia boss who is kidnapped by a group of college students, also stars Dennis Leary as a man working for the kidnapped mafia boss. The film is sort of cool and unique because it shows how a …
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …
Justice League
At the start of the millennium, there has been a resurgence of DC animations. Before they were being trampled upon by their counterpart, Marvel Comics, DC now is like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In 2004, I got the chance to watch a group of DC superheroes lumped …
Tropic Thunder
When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …
The movie the 40 year old virgin
The 40 year old virgin is a movie that I can watch over and over and over again because it is a movie that I cant get sick of watching and it is just as funny the fifth time watching it as it is the first time watching it.
The …
Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie will always be in my heart. A special one, that is. It starts off with Robin Williams, being separated from his wife and they have children together.
He loves them so much and wanting to be close to them, disguises himself as a …
Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
Splice (2010) movie
Well I have to say that after watching this movie I may never be the same again. It was literally that creepy but I am not going to ruin it for whoever has not seen it but if you have you know exactly what I’m talking about.
The movie …
I Robot
Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.
Based in the future, when robots have become part of everyday life, Smith plays a cop who is convinced the robots will eventually try to take …
