If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …

The movie Hoodlum was released in 1997. It has a strong cast consisting of Laurence Fishburne, Tim Roth, Andy Garcia, Vanessa Williams, and Cicely Tyson. The story is set in Harlem in the 1930’s during the depression. As we all know the depression was a hard time for families …

I am great fan of the actress Meryl Streep and Nora Ephran movies. ‘Julie & Julia’ brings these two talented woman working together in a very special movie for both of them.
I believe that ‘Julie & Julia’ represented a different type of movie for the director Nora Ephran …

I was first attracted to watch the movie “Taken” when I learned that Liam Neeson was heading the cast: I’ve always had a high regard for his acting ability and innate charm. Adding to the attraction for me was the fact that Luc Besson, the French film director, was …

I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …

The premise of this episode is pretty much laid out in the title: The Devil and a Guy Named Webster. It is a fusion of the classic tale: The Devil and Daniel Webster, but instead of the famous American orator we get Emmanuel Lewis (best known as star …

What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …

This episode was really good. It was suspenseful and exciting and had a few surprises …

Sparkling Cyanide from 1983 was surprisingly entertaining in my opinion. The story is taken from the Agatha Christie novel, and I’ve actually read that viewers well acquainted with the mystery novel say the movie is not in line with the book and shouldn’t even have Christie’s name on …

I am reviewing the movie, The Sentinel, starring Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland. Michael Douglas’ character is a secret service agent working for the president.

The Soviets and Americans are back at it once again as an adaptation to the TV series of the 1960s, also titled “The Man from U.N.C.L.E”. Directed by Guy Ritchie, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E” features a chase to crackdown an organization that is on the verge of launching a nuclear …

In the early ’60s, screenwriter and director Herschell Gordon Lewis created what became known as the “blood trilogy”- three overly-gory films that single-handedly created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. 1964’s Two Thousand Maniacs succeeded Blood Feast as the second installment to this classic trilogy. In my opinion this is …

Bela Lugosi is once again out for blood in Return Of The Vampire, produced in 1944 by Columbia pictures. This is one of my favorite vampire movies, and I still remember seeing it on late night TV in my youth.

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 …

I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …

What a cast! I can’t believe I’ve let some quality Paul Newman films slip by without seeing them. I’ve always enjoyed Newman; he was a favorite of mine since I first saw him as a little girl. Somehow, though, I’ve been remiss in not catching some …

Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …

This movie is listed as a romantic comedy and was done over 10 years ago. It’s starts with an interesting story and draws in the viewer with a question that the main character asks in the beginning of the movie. Stephen Dorff plays, Jake, a movie director that is …

There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.
Never mind the fact this is an animated film that is designed with children in mind. The underlying message is how difficult …

The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …

OK, when I was forced to watch Tyler Perry’s movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I wasn’t happy about it. I don’t mind romantic comedies but I figured this was going to be your typical chick flick; with non-stop man bashing.
Fortunately, I was wrong and this turned out …

This movie is a musical based on the love shared between a writer and a cabaret actress. How quaint that most musicals encompass the same thing. This movie, while it did manage to grasp quite a few nominations for Oscars, only managed to scrape through with winning only two …

This weekend was the first time I have seen the movie The Devil’s Brigade; though I had heard of it and it has been on TV a few times in the past year or so.
Overall, it was an OK movie with plenty of action.
The film is about a group …

When the movie “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” was released in movie theatres, I had no interest in seeing it for some reason. However, recently when I was bored I managed to watch the movie and was surprised that I actually thought of passing it over …

I think this movie fell into the sophomore trap—”it wasn’t as good as its predecessor. There is a story though, which is good. Actually, there are many stories going on but they are not too heavy to get the viewer confused. Not much thinking required actually, which after all …

I ended up watching a movie I never heard of before last night. But, despite the fact it wasn’t well known, the film “Tamara” was actually an OK film.
The movie is a bit far fetched. Basically you have a girl who is picked on by her high school classmates …

As much as I hate Hollywood’s love affair with vampires and remakes, I love this movie way better than the original. I didn’t actually see the original Fright Night until a month before the new one came out, and I was disappointed (probably because it was about 20 years …

“She’s the Man” is the movie that confirms what a great actress, Amanda Bynes is. In this movie, we see her interpret the role of a boy most of the time. On a personal level, this movie was a great success for the actor, Channing Tatum because he managed …

Ever since Star Wars was filmed, several movies have attempted to spoof it with limited success. Who would have thought the best ever spoof comes from a television series I used to not even like.
We rented the first ever feature film from Family Guy; Blue Harvest. And, I will …

Three woman gang together to over throw their abusive boss that is the whole nature of this movie, the plot is tight around this fact and it makes for a wonderful movie for all to enjoy. Dolly Parton plays the role of the under appreciated secretary, one that has …

My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …

I Am Sam is a movie that definitely stands out. Its strong message of love and the amazing performance of Sean Penn as Sam have made of, for me, unforgettable. Sam is a mentally disabled man who raises a young daughter - alone. Lucy’s mother, a homeless woman, had …

St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …

Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …
