Movies Reviews
Blackout (NR, 2007)
This sleeper hit was about the Blackout that occurred in 2003 on the Northeast Seaboard. This movie was certainly hidden, because I’d never heard about it until I stumbled across it on Netflix. In any case, there aren’t too many big names. Sean Blakemore has a …
Titanic (Movie)
I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …
“TIME AND TIME AGAIN” Movie
I have watched Time and Time Again, that many times! Starring Steve Reeve, it is the tale of a man who upon finding a way back into time, finds a true love. By true love, I mean a love he is willing to die for.
The star is whished back …
Anger Management (2003 movie)
Adam Saddler as Dave Buznik is a man with anger problems, after being forcefully removed from a flight after a so-called abuse of the flight attendant, he ends up in court and is basically forced into doing anger management classes. This is where Jack Nicholson comes in, he is …
The Fly
The Fly is a great movie. I consider this movie a horror classic. It is also a great science fiction movie. I like the whole story and plot. The Fly is about a scientist that thinks he discovered something great. But an experiment goes wrong and his DNA gets crossed …
Madea goes to Jail Movie
Madea goes to jail, directed and written by Tyler Perry is a very inspirational story. The movie balances out its sorrows with gut wrenching humor. This movie does have Madea going to jail, after, as always some testy behavior, that will most definitely make you laugh. However, this is also …
Audition (movie) 1999
This film has left me pretty stunned and I really need to watch it again. Yes, I think it is very good but it is certainly not to everyone’s taste. There is a rather famous, or infamous, torture scene that is truly agony to experience, but I …
Howard the Duck-movie
I recently watched a film called Howard the Duck. It is essentially about an alien duck named Howard that accidentally gets pulled down to earth from his home planet duck world which is inhabited by other duck like creatures. Howard eventually encounters a woman, a rock star named Beverly. …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
Stepmom (1998)
The focus of this movie is about a recently divorced couple and the heart aching task they go through in order to keep their children happy in the face of the terrible period in their lives. This is not made easier by the fact that the husband Luke, played …
Movie: Rear Window (the original)
Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is a great movie by the master of suspense movies! The acting is phenomenal as it stars Grace Kelly (so beautiful!) and Jimmy Stewart (one of my favorite actors). Jimmy Stewart plays a character who has broken his leg and is in a wheelchair and …
Profession: Reporter movie
Profession: Reporter is the impressive thriller by Michelangelo Antonioni. Jack Nicholson stars as the journalist who gets drawn into a mysterious league of corruption on a high political level.
Antonioni here uses the same style of mysticism as in is masterpiece Blow Up, but not on the same level. Jack …
Don’t Look in the Cellar (Trailer, 2009)
Normally, in the first paragraph of a review, I try and proved information such as the stars, director and such. This time, however, that task became untterly impossible, because although this is a trailer, I can’t find word one about anything else related to this film. Now …
Letters to Juliet Movie
A few weeks ago I rented “Letters to Juliet” from my local library. Having never seen it before it looked interesting. Let me give a brief outline of what this movie is about. This movie is about a young woman named Sophie (Amanda Sayfreid) who travels with her …
The Patriot movie
The patriot is one my my favorite movies. This movie is remembered for the stunning performance of Male Gibson. He is also the director of the movie.
I have seen this movie more than twenty times. And in spite of this I am ready to see this any time. …
Murder on the Orient Express movie
I’ve never seen Murder on the Orient Express before, though I’ve often heard about it and have seen many commercials promoting various incarnations of it over the years. I’ve been curious about the Agatha Christie story for a long time, but for whatever reason never actually sat down …
Baby Mama
I’ve seen plenty of movies about giving birth before. But, I have to admit the film Baby Mama was one that offered a unique take on the miracle of life.
Rather than your typical husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend having a baby movie, this film features an adventure involving a surrogate mother …
Bad Santa
This movie I thought was one of the most absolutly hilarious movies that I have seen in a really long time. Billy Bob Thorton plays a Santa that you would not want your kids to sit in his lap. He is rude, condescending, and a drunk that cusses way …
Bleak House (2005)
At first, I was not sure whether I liked the new Bleak House (released in 2005) better than the old version I have in my collection of classics (the 1985 Masterpiece Theatre production). I was so used to the old version that it took me some time to warm …
Cloverfield
This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …

This movie is one part dealing with sexual harassment in the work place and the other part is dealing with fraud and top executives who will stop at nothing to cover their tracks. In the first instance of this movie, the viewers are taken on a journey through the …
I now pronounce you chuck & larry comedy
I pronounce you Chuck & Larry is a comedy featuring Adam Sandler as Chuck and Kevin Gregory as Larry. Based on past Sandler movies i thoght this movie would be a lot funnier. You can tell the plot and basically everything that’s going to happen in the movie within …
Wall E

We Are Marshall DVD
Sometimes, the unexpected happens when you’re watching a movie. This is the second time I can remember when I thought I was going to watch a sports movie and ended up watching a flick about the human spirit. The first time was when I saw “Brian’s Song” with …
Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …
Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
Tangled : A Hairy Tale
Disney movies are always a dose of freshness and Tangled goes much beyond that. It is one of the best animated movies from Disney so far. Though the story of the movie has the well known fairy tale “Rapunzel” as its baseline, yet it provides a captivating story line …

To watch Madagaskar with my kids was a so pleasant movie adventure! Both my two boys enjoyed it very much. Me too! Finally I found one movie that is not violent for kids, and a film that tell one interesting story. We wath the movie in an Avant Premiere …
The stupids
The stupids is my personal favorite comedy. It is one of the most demented and funniest movies I’ve ever seen. This movie stars Tom Arnold (just to give you an idea of what kind of movie this is) as Mr. Stupid someone who is convinced that someone is stealing …
Lage Raho Munnabhai Movie
Who is in it : Sanjay Dutt, Vidya balan, Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi
I normally go to the movies with the intention of enjoying myself. I do not like films that leave me with a depressing feeling, or with a heavy heart. Life is difficult enough as it is, so …
Bebe’s Kids
I was looking through one of the thrift stores in my local area and found one of the movies that I will always remember from my childhood and teenage years because of how different it was and a movie that normally, I would not have really watched. Bebe’s Kids. …

Catherine and Heathcliff grew up together, despite the fact that as soon as Mr. Earnshaw died Catherine’s brother Hindley …
Taken movie
Taken can easily be classified as another run-of-the-mill spy action movie—”because it is. There are only few changes in the plot that can make it a memorable one. The first is that Bryan Mills’ daughter is kidnapped not for ransom but for trade in the sex industry. The second …
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhod Episode 21
Fullmetal Alchemist: Episode 21 begins with Roy reprimanding Riza Hawkeye for giving up on living after she believed that Roy Mustang was dead. Ed and Al figuring out how to lure out the Homunculi. Jean Havoc is in the hospital and we found out what’s going to happen to …
Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …

The latter is heartbroken when is girlfriend leaves him for another, so he goes looking for her new love and takes Laurel with him.

Becoming Jane
Becoming Jane is a movie about Jane Austen, the author of six deep and thoughtful romance novels that have all been made into movies, most of them more than once. The movie cannot be really called Jane’s biography, although there are some historical names mentioned. It so happens that …
Picasso documentary
Picasso is a documentary that highlights the legendary career of Pablo Picasso. This documentary takes the viewer across almost eighty years to explore his life and examine his accomplishments.
The portrayal of his innovative art is beautifully done. Picasso’s artwork depicted every mood he encountered, every belief he stood by, …
Movie The Enforcer
The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood and Tyne Daily.
Of the Dirty Harry series, I suppose that this sequel is the most tame. It deals with political correct issues and the gentler side of Inspector Harry Callahan. When the opening scene proved to be vintage …
Deep Blue Sea
Have you guys ever watched the movie Deep Blue Sea which I think was ‘hot’ during 1999..? I caught it on TV the other day and comparing this to Jaws, both have their own ‘uniqueness’, sense of overwhelming danger and suspense.
There is also LL Cool J in …
Land Before Time movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Land Before Time. This is a timeless classic. It is a story about Little Foot the long neck, Sarah the three horn, Spike the sharp tail, Ducky the swimmer, and Peetry the flier. Each one of these characters is a dinosaur. This …
Baby Mama (2008)
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 …
Movie The Promotion
This movie was a great character sketch of two guys going after the same promotion at a grocery store. The humor was fantastic; I love the kind of humor where a joke starts at the beginning of the movie and it plays throughout the movie in unexpected places. The …
Take the Lead-Antonio Banderas
I went to this movie last night with my friends. I think it was worth seeing, but perhaps just a rental. It was pleasant, with some funny scenes, and the way the scene moved back and forth with the dancing and the music, especially at the beginning, was great.
The …
Confessions of a Shopoholic
When I first saw the movie “Confessions of a Shopoholic” advertising to be released in theatres, I did not pay it any attention since it seemed like a silly little comedy; but when I did get to watch it some time ago, I realised that it was actually a …
Joshua (R, 2007) movie
The cover of this DVD would have one believe that the little boy depicted is somehow possessed with some kind of evil. You might even think there is some supernatural twist to the plot. But if you thought either of these things, you would probably be wrong. …
