It is rather scary when you think that the shadows you see from the corner of your eyes are not real, but a figment of your imagination. Ben London (one of the …

Astro Boy is a TV cartoon series, back when I was still very young, which made its debut in the movies. This is actually one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. The story is about a scientist who created a robot with the emotions and …

Beyond Witch Mountain was actually an hour long pilot movie for a potential TV series. It was made for TV in 1982 and at the time was the third Witch Mountain production. Two more followed it as time passed.
What was interesting to me about this is that …

I just recently saw the third Chipmunk movie installment, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. I found the movie had too much music and was not as interesting as the first two but it was cute and I did enjoy it. I am not sure that I will watch it …

Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy is a great movie that you must see! Ron Jeremy has starred in nearly 2,000 adult films. He is nicknamed the Hedgehog because he is so short with a big hairy belly. This movie …

I watched a couple of movies on Lifetime movie network today and this was one of the movies that they played. It was kind of interesting, it could have been better. The movie had a pretty good ending to it. It was about a neighbor that was crazy and …

When I picked up the movie P.S. I Love You, I expected it to be a tear jerker. What I found was, not only did it not move us to tears, we had a hard time keeping our eyes open.
While I loved the concept behind it, a man dies …

“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …

When the first series of Spiderman movies came out in the early 2000’s, my husband and I were quick to go see them. However, after the first two it became more of a run on series rather than a well thought out movie series. It was my exhaustion …

Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …

Horror is the one genre I try to avoid the most. Ever since I was young I always tell myself never to watch a horror film because all it does to me is scare me. And I don’t want to be scared. I don’t want to have trouble sleeping at …

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was better than the first two movies, in my opinion. Granted, I haven’t seen the other two in a while now, so my opinion could change if I watched the first two movies again. I watched Ice Age 3 in 3D, but …

I first heard of the movie “Precious” when I was watching the Larry King Live interview with the singer Mariah Carey. In the interview Larry had asked her about an upcoming movie that she was in, and I immediately became interested in finding out more about the film, …

I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …

Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …

It’s like a mystery/suspense/thriller type movie with the mob theme thrown in. I honestly did not expect the movie to be as great as I though it was. The first 15 minutes or so, it will look like a cheap, predictable cliche mob flick, but it gets a lot …

A movie directed by Steven Speilberg, story in part by George Lucas, Starring Harrison Ford, Cate Balnchett, Karren Allen and Shia LaBeouf.
The very long anticipated Indiana Jones sequel, very long anticipated actually- 18 years in the making is a wonderful adventure story. Just like always, it takes you …

I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …

I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …

To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …

Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …

It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …

I don’t really like the movie, Running Scared. It is too much filled with violence and certainly not suitable for kids to watch at all.

(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …

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 …

Keanu Reeves directed Man of Tai Chi and also starred as Donaka Mark, an evil underground fight club owner. Tiger Hu Chen played Chen Lin Hu, a Tai Chi student that goes by the name of Tiger. You can already see where this is going, right? Surprisingly, no teachers …

Lilies of the Field is a classic motion picture that considers to reach the hearts of viewers. Sidney Poitier starred in the movie as a drifter who stops to get water for his car and ends up helping some German nuns to build their chapel. It’s quite …

Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …

My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …

From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …

After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …

In a nutshell the film “August Rush” is about fate and dreams. What is fantastic about this great movie is that the young actor, Freddie Highmore acting abilities are simply wonderful. Before “August Rush”, Highmore also appeared in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Finding Neverland”.
The story of “August …

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 …

I saw the movie Avatar three times– twice in the theater in 3-D, and once at home in 2-D as a rental. I’d been looking forward to seeing it months before it ever came out. The big question always being: would it live up to all the hype? I …
