A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie
I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …

Serenity movie
Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …
X-Men Movie
X-Men was an excellent movie if you went with no expectations and had never seen the cartoon or read the comic. However, they changed a lot from both comic and show in the movie and after seeing the movie for the first time, I was infuriated at how they …
Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca: A Science Fiction Movie
My husband is a science fiction fan. I don’t particularly go for the science fiction genre necessarily but there are movies in it that I like (Water World for example). We were at home watching television not so long ago when he saw that this movie, Gattaca, was …
Surf’s Up
When I first saw previews to Surf’s Up, the first thing I thought was ‘Not another penguin movie.’ But, after taking the time to watch it last night, I have to admit it was probably the best out of those I’ve seen.
Unlike other Penguin movies, Surf’s Up doesn’t take …

2010 Movie
This movie was anticipated by all, and at first I honestly wasn’t excited about all the hype as movies are all talk nowadays until you actually get to see them on the big screen. This movie ran at 158 minutes and when I was watching it I didn’t feel …

Tamara movie
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 …
Death Becomes Her (1992)
A more original plot you will never find or even dream of coming across in some lost text. Even if this movie is a remake or not, it has some great appeal and can easily be considered in my books of falling under the heading of an instant classic …
Movie The Pursuit of Happiness
When I first saw previews to the Pursuit of Happiness, I figured it was going to be a tear jerker but would ultimately be a boring film. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …
The Wedding Date movie
A low budget movie turns out sophisticatedly neat. Starring Debra Messing (of Will and Grace) as Katherine, a New Yorker, looking for a for-hire-date that she could bring to London for her half sister’s wedding.
A light kind of story full of cinematographically neat shots at perfectly chosen places at …
The Whole Ten Yards movie

Finding Nemo
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 …
Alice in Wonderland Movie
Watched Alice in Wonderland with hubby last night. To be honest, I can’t remember the original movie and what the whole story was all about. I just remember the characters and that it was one of the stories often told to us when we were kids. This movie I’ve …

American Pie: Book of Love Movie

Drive (2011 movie)
I had never seen a trailer for this movie, but rented it simply because a friend wanted to see it. Overall, I would say pass on this movie unless you are interested in a lot of fighting and gore.
I was really impressed with the start of the movie. The main …
Dragonball Evolution
I can’t really figure out why this movie was made. Dragonball’s popularity peaked years ago and the concept itself is something that flat out just doesn’t transition well to live action.
Having been DBZ fans in high school, my roommate and I decided to check it out. …

Passengers movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Passengers, which has been sitting rented from Netflix for about two weeks now. It was OK but not great.

Can’t Buy Me Love, movie
Although there are many films out there about the diamond in the rough teenager who just needs a little push to be less awkward, none quite matches the charm of this film with Patrick Dempsey long before he was famous. In fact it has hard to imagine the man …

I watched this movie about a year ago on lifetime movie network. Although it is not one of my favorite movies that they play it is definately a movie worth watching. It had a very good story to it. It kept me entertained while watching the whole movie. I …
Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …

I had a chance to get this movie as a rental and enjoyed it very much. I originally got it for the kids, but it is one of those cartoon movies that ends up being a family favorite. So far we have watched it three times because the kids …
The Deep End of the Ocean
I haven’t seen this movie for years until I saw it on television again late last year. It has a similar name to another movie called “The Deep End” and is not to be confused with it as they both have two completely different plots. Nevertheless I think that …

Skyfall Movie
Skyfall is the latest and greatest James Bond 007 film, and while I admit I have never seen a James Bond film before, I absolutely loved Skyfall! It is action-packed, funny, and thrilling, and it had the entire theater at the edge of their seats. I absolutely loved Skyfall, …
