Motion Picture “The Box”
Let me start this review by telling you a little about myself so you know where I am coming from. I have a netflix subscription and I watch a lot of movies, I mean a lot. I see most new releases when they come out on disc so …
Accepted movie

Accepted as they avoid the normal, boring college experience. Althought it …

While she seemed to like …
Sliding doors movie
Sliding doors is definitely a different movie and I really liked it for it’s innovative taking. The movie has two stories which shows the two prospects of life of the protagonist after a particular incident. Gwyneth Paltrow played the role of the protagonist. But the climaxes of both the …

The Libertine Movie
The Libertine was a movie that came out last year starring Johnny Depp. The movie takes place during the 17th century and Johnny Depp
plays a poet whom the movie is built around. It seems as if there is no point to the movie as it just follows Johnny Depp’s …
Sherlock Holmes (Movie)
I had high expectations when I rented Sherlock Holmes on DVD the other day, mainly because of my high regard for Robert Downey Jr.’s amazing acting skills and his recent choice of movies to star in. I also like Guy Ritchie’s movies, so when we sat down to watch …
Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …
Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?
Norbit is one of the dumbest movies that I’ve seen …
What Just Happened film
“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …
Men In Black
The original Men In Black was an excellent comedic action movie and a welcome twist on the all to common genre of alien movies. The comedy throughout this movie was real comedy, not the non-stop attempts at slapstick or idiotic humor that have begun to plague comedies as of …
Movie Catch me if you can

I Love You, Man movie
I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. It looked cheesy, stooping for cheap laughs with fart and masturbation jokes. However, I was surprised to find it rather amusing; definitely not in my top fifty, but certainly decent and watchable.
The fart joke surprised me. I hate humor based on …
The Marine
Typically, when you get a movie that stars a professional wrestler, you can expect something that is going to go out of its way to show off his muscles, put him in plenty of fight scenes and fill in the background with as many explosions as possible.
The movie, …
He Knows Youre Alone (movie)
I think that there are two types of slasher movie fans. These are those who like gore, and those who seem to watch slasher movies mostly for the thrill of it. Nevertheless, after watching the 1980 slasher film “He Knows You’re Alone” twice, I do not think that either …
Child’s Play 2
Child’s Play 2 is the second in the series of Child’s Play movies featuring the demonic killer doll “Chucky”. I remember watching it a little after I had watched the first “Child’s Play” movie and being as impressed as I was by the prequel. At the time I hid …
The Reader movie

To The Devil, A Daughter (R, 1976)
I rented “To The Devil A Daughter” for two reasons: Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. I have always liked Lee’s presence in films, especially The Wicker Man (the original). He had this air about him that was both seductive and a little creepy. …

This is a cute little story enjoyable to watch and easy on the eyes. Yet if your time is really precious, save it for something else.
It tells the story of a young woman named Donns (Paltrow) from a …
The Day The Earth Stood Still film
As far as wasted opportunities go, this film takes the cake. It isn’t so much a remake of the original film as it is homage to it as only the very basic plot elements from the original were retained and woven into an unnecessarily reworked plot that falls flat …
10,000 BC
I purchase this movie together with some more as a time killing activity while my husband is on a two week vacation. I thought at first that it was just an ordinary and boring historical type of movies but as I watched the movie, I know it is more …

“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.

Dead Silence (R, 2007) movie
“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …

If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.

This is the sequal to the Princess Diaries movie and I think it is better than the first one. I definitely saw a bit of a transition between the first one and the second one. This one has a bit more scandalous activity and romance. I am not sure …
