The original and still the best, this movie tells the story of a group of astronauts who, while deep in the hibernation state, crash landed on a strange planet. After waking up to find one of the crew members dead, they disembark their space craft and continued to survey …
Movie: Stripes
Synopsis: Two men, who are fed up with their jobs and their lives, decide to enlist in the army. The only problem is, they really don’t seem to fit in there either.
What I liked about this movie: I have seen this film dozens of times and it never gets …
The Movie Cars
I have to admit that when I heard about this movie I was rather skeptical. Not that I don’t like Pixar films, but rather about the subject matter of this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie it really semed more like an animated version of …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
Shrek: Forever After (2010 Film)
The series of Shrek films that have come out since the first film in 2001 have been a popularity for not only young children, but movie lovers of all ages. We have watched as an angry ogre named Shrek rescued the princess Fiona, saved her with true loves kiss, …
Open Season movie
Although this is a children’s movie I loved it. Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence play in it and they do an amazing job in the movie and do an amazing job acting together in it. I really laughed at some of the parts. This one of my favorite children’s …

The Bucket List
I cried when I watched The Bucket List before. It starred Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and it saddened me to know that these 2 characters are facing death since they are terminated with cancer.
And due to that, they have a chance to obtain a friendship of a lifetime …
Talk to Me (R, 2007) movie
If ever there was a true story brought to film that needed to be seen, it’s this one. “Talk to Me” covers the true story of Petey Greene, a former convict who fast-talked his way into a coveted Washington DC radio station DJ job. Don Cheadle is …
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
I must say that I did not completely look forward to the film The Incredible hulk. This is because the first film in the series was pretty awful. There are a lot of things the Hulk can be, but boring is definitely not one of them. So, when …
Film Valkyrie
Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …

This movie is about the fact that love can cross any border and still be strong enough to survive any storm, this is the movie of an African America named Flipper Purify, played by Wesley Snipes, and an Italian American known as Angie Tucci, played by Annabella Sciorra who …
The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …

Spanglish
I like Adam Sander movies for the very reason that it’s fun to watch and you’re sure to be entertained. There are some really popular Sandler movies like Click, which is one of my favorite, Anger Management, The Longest Yard and many more. But Spanglish seemed not to be …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse Movie
I really loved the first two Resident Evil movies, and have even picked up the newest special edition DVD versions whenever they come out. I was excited to see this one, but ended up feeling really disappointed.
There is absolutely nothing memorable about this movie. After a few days, …
Unfaithful (2002)
A married woman gets involved with a foreigner when she is taken for a ride during a small wind storm, he comes to her aid and she is captivated by his boyish good looks and his charm. Completely forgetting the fact that she is married, she encourages the young …
Coyote Ugly
What is this movie about? I can answer that in two words: bar dancing. There is nothing else in it, really. No story to speak of, just a few events to get the main character to work at the bar - and then it is all about girls dancing …
Movie: Stan Helsing
I ended up watching the movie Stan Helsing Friday night because I was in the mood for a comedy and figured this would be one of those films that was so terrible, it couldn’t help but be funny.
Well, it turns out I was right about the movie being terrible. …
Movie Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror
At long last a DVD release for this Saturday afternoon television staple!
Well, TV staple in the USA. In Spain and the rest of Europe, this marked Paul Naschy’s first film of the Waldermar Danisky the Werewolf series under the title Mark of the Wolfman (Marca Del Hombre Lobo)
The history …
Da vinci Code movie
I watched this movie with my mother when it first came out. I didn’t understand a lot of it. Unless you know the bible really well I wouldn’t recommend the movie. I was kind of lost throughout the whole movie. My mother knows the bible really well and she …
Iron Giant children’s movie

Man On Fire
Man On Fire stars Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, and Dakota Fanning. This is an exceptional film that dealt with the serious issue of the kidnapping business in Mexico, yet did so in a very warm manner.
How do you make a great film about any subject? …
61* Movie
I just watched this DVD last night. We ordered it from Netflix since my boyfriend and his brother said it was a good movie. Surprisely, I got really into it. This is a movie based on the M&M boys. I had never really heard about them except for maybe …
Whisper A Horror Movie
M Moderate supernatural themes and violence.
Starring Josh Holloway
I will no tell a lie the main reason I decided to watch Whisper was because I am a big fan of Josh Holloway. (Sawyer from the TV series Lost). Fans of Mr Holloway will not be disappointed by this supernatural thriller.
Josh plays …
The Benchwarmers
What do you get when there are combination acting by Jon Heder, Rob Schneider and David Spade? You get total hilarious and out of this world type of laughs.
Perhaps there are people thinking that this is a dumb movie but I really love this when it was …
Dark Skies (movie)
One of the movies that I watched this summer was the movie “Dark Skies”. It’s not to be confused with the television series of the same name that was popular in the late nineteen nineties, even though it has a bit of a similar motif. When I watched the …
Batman: Dark Knight Rises
One of the movies that I watched recently was “Batman: Dark Knight Rises” and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to come anywhere near the previous one in the series in terms of greatness, where I was blown away by Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker. Nevertheless, I …
Great Expectations movie
When I saw the movie “Great Expectations” on the cable guide a couple years ago, I was more expecting a film based on the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations” and not a loosely based modern day spinoff from it. In fact, since I had not seen it from the …
Finding Nemo
One of my daughter’s favorite all time movie is Finding Nemo. She was obsessed with Nemo for such a long time. I enjoyed watching this movie with her because it was a classic. Anything that is made by Disney or Disney Pixar is such a great …
“The Fourth Kind” movie
Good idea, very interesting form and … cheating, which discourages the viewer. Instead of shocking the movie, we deal with this really good, but unfortunately still not perfect art.
Intriguing beginning gives us hope for a great movie. At a time when we learn that it is based on facts …
The Little Mermaid
Of all the Walt Disney movies that are out there, the Little Mermaid has to be one of the more colorful ones. Prior to the bad sequels and the even worst television series, this movie was an inspiration for future underwater tales, including Nemo.
My daughter isn’t very good at …
The Blob movie
Mostly famous because an unknown Steve McQeeen plays the leading part. A some sort of monster movie, with a red blob taking over a whole city as it grows. I thought this was a comedy at first, because the dialogue was so corny. Poor Stevie struggles with silly lines …
Cabin in The Woods movie
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I decided it was time to start watching (and reviewing) some horror films! A recent, and extremely well-reviewed “horror film” that I missed in theaters so decided to rent was “Cabin in the Woods”. A family member of mine recommended it, and …
The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Nick of Time - Movie
What a bloody waste of time! There were a few reasons why I wanted to see this. First it stared Johnny Depp and I enjoy his work as an actor and wanted to check some of his lesser known films (there’s a reason why it’s barely mentioned). The video …
Columbo: Ashes to Ashes movie
Columbo: Ashes to Ashes was directed by actor Patrick McGoohan, who also guest stars in the program. He’s done this, acting and directing in a Columbo, a few times before. His character this time around is mortician Eric Prince.
Rue McClanahan does a nifty job as gossip columnist …
Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …
Pathfinder (2007)
Pathfinder, directed by Marcus Nispel is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong brutal violence throughout.

Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit movie
The latest Wallace & Gromit film is the first one with these to characters to come out in a long time. Everything about it is just so good as you could ever ask from an animation film these days. Excellent look, believable, funny and interesting plot. Most of all …
Meet The Parents (Film)
Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …
Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
Enchanted movie
I watched this movie with my sister recently. Overall it was an alright movie, we both got bored and uninterested in the movie. I feel like it dragged on forever and was way too long. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie that she liked. My …
Movie: The Wizard of Oz
We didn’t really plan on watching any movies tonight as a family; mainly because we plan on going to church in the morning and wanted the kids in bed early. However, shortly before bed time, the movie Wizard of Oz came on. And, even though it wasn’t planned, I …
Pump up the volume movie
About a shy young school boy who has his very own radio programme. He quickly becomes immensely popular among the young listeners, even though their parents consider his language unsuitable for their children and starts protesting against it.
A very, very typical teenage movie from the early 1990s with a …
The Bourne Supremacy
There’s rarely a sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster that lives up the original in any way. I have to agree with this when it comes to the second installment of the Jason Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy. Though it’s still good, I can’t say that it holds a candle …
Movie The Dark Knight
I had gone to see Dark Knight when it was just released in theaters, I was very interested to go and see it. With all the hype surrounding it, well deserved hype I must say. The Dark Knight is the most successful movie in the whole batman series.
The movie …
Movie Rundown
The Rock and Sean William Scott play in this movie as the two main characters. They are really good together in this movie, very funny together also. There were two parts in the movie that I thought were really funny. The rest of the movie was also funny but …
The Punisher 1989 Version
I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …
