The old animated depiction of Tolkien’s beloved story, the only version of it that actually exists, but since The Lord of the Rings was such an enormous success I believe we will see a new version of The Hobbit very soon. This animated version was made in a time …
Night of the Demons (2009 movie)
I guess the majority of me figured that based on the rather silly title of this movie, as well as the description that I had read about it on the electronic cable guide, the movie “Night of the Demons” wasn’t going to be very good. However, I ended up …
Movie No Reservations
In all honestly, I believe this is the worst film for Catherine Zeta Jones and it is not entirley here fault! I decided to watch “No Reservations” after I liked its trailer, however, in the end, it failed to impress me. This film transmits a lot of sadness to …

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
Movie Cold Mountain
This is a amazing movie. Every one did an amazing job acting. I don’t think that they could have done a better job acting or directing this movie. I loved it and if you haven’t seen it yet you should. Renee Zellweger plays in it and I liked her …
Half Light (R, 2006) movie
I had never heard of a romantic thriller starring Demi Moore. But because I am a semi-fan of hers, I was intrigued. The story takes places both in London and on a Scottish Isle (most of the drama is on the Isle.) Demi’s …
The X Files: I Want To Believe Movie
Just about 12 hours ago, I went to see the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie. I knew there was a lot of mixed reviews in regards to the movie, but I really wanted to see for myself as I am an X-Files fan at heart.
I went and saw …

Venom Feature Film (2005)
I love horror movies but this one was a real dud. The horror parts were fine, the blood and gore looked believable and the death scenes were realistic and well acted. My main problem with this film is it lacked suspense and it was boring. Normally …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …

Transformers Movie
A movie made in the likeness of a toy brand.
There was a bit of talk both in news headlines and the film industry when the trailers for the new transformers movie were released. I didn\’t exactly expect an adult theme or plot until I saw the first trailer. …
Freaky Friday movie
I was used to watching Lindsay Lohan movies even when she was still young. I bought a copy of this movie because I wanted to see if it was a good one or not since the tandem of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis is a little fresh. I …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …
Failure to Launch movie
When I saw previews of this movie, I thought it would be hillarious. However, when I finally got a chance to watch it, I can understand why the critics hated it.
Overall, it was an OK movie but it wasn’t as funny as it could have been. The plot was …
Notting Hill,1999 movie
Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …
Erin Brockovich movie
Erin Brockovich is in my opinion a semi-classic movie, which is good for watching many times over,rather than just once. For me it works at a lot of different levels, from being a simple “more power to women” movie, to a David v/s Goliath struggle against a large corporation, …
The Reader
I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …

Role Models (UR, 2008) movie
I was dying to see this movie when it hit theaters. But alas, I ended up catching it on DVD. And I have to say that I’m glad I waited. While the movie was funny, I found the little boy’s antics a bit over …
Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …
The Grudge (2004 movie)

Middlemarch (1994), a movie
This beautifully made movie has too many different storylines and subplots to mention them all, so I will only describe several. Dorothea (Juliet Aubrey), a beautiful gentlewoman, is not vain like so many of her class, she has the desire to be of use, to do something good for …
The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …
Arthur and the Minimoys
When I was in a movie house, I was able to see the trailer of Arthur and the Minimoys. I found it and interesting story so I bought a copy of the movie. I like the movie so much since it is an adventure film. Though its a fiction …
Ocean’s Thirteen
I am a big fan of the Ocean’s movies. I loved the first one, thought twelve was ok at best. I believe Ocean’s Thirteen is a return to form for the Ocean’s movies. The things I didn’t like about Twelve are fixed in this movie. …

Passenger 57
Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …
Movie Superman Returns

Movie Tavern
This is by far, hands-down, beyond a shadow of a doubt THE worst movie theater I have ever been to in my life, and I have been to a few pretty bad ones. I have never had a movie experience so ruined as I did the night I attended …
1408 (Movie) Starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson
I very rarely like movie commercials however when I saw the one for 1408 I liked it so much I decided to actually buy it. Though Stephen King did not direct the movie, it was based off of his book. With this in mind I was fairly certain that …

Warren Haynes is a member of the …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
“Mrs. Henderson Presents” was another one of those movies that disappeared from the large screen before I had a chance to see it. I suspect this is true for many people. That’s a pity because “Mrs. Henderson Presents” is a charming, feel-good movie that will leave you feeling both …
