Balto
Made in 1995, this animated film features the vocal talents of Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, and Bob Hoskins, among others. It’s also based on a true story, very loosely based on a true story mind you.
Though there are many talented, well-known actors who lent their talent and names …
Pirates of the Carribean- Dead Man’s Chest
It’s very rare when I spend the money to go see a movie at the movie theater. After seeing Pirates of the Carribean-Dead Man’s Chest, I was glad I did.
Set shortly after the original Pirates, the movie covered continuing adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann …
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan Movie
This is the most stupidest Adam Sandler’s movie I have ever seen in my whole life and the most stupid movie I’ve seen so far this year. I was quite disappointed after watching the movie with my husband who is a big Adam Sandler fan. Good thing we did …
Jumper (movie)
My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (movie)
I think that one of the most interesting movies that I watched this year was one named “The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio”. I had actually seen the movie name on display on my cable guide a number of times before, but I never actually worked up the interest …

Winter’s Bone movie
Winter’s Bone may depress you from the first footage. You see children happy and unaware of the dirt that surrounds them and in all this time their big sister “streamlines” their potato ratios.
The story is classic: a young woman is forced to grow their little brothers and her sick …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 3
RomeoXJuliet Episode 3 begins with Juliet in the cemetery, and Conrad giving her the family sword. All the retainers swear their allegiance to her and she remembers the night her parents were killed, which causes her to faint from shock. She talks to Cordelia and later Conrad …
Roll Bounce (2005 movie)
I, for one, believe that each should stick to what they can do…rappers rap, singers sing, dancers dance, actors act, and so on. When they try to do things that they know nothing of, they make a fool of themselves. Now, Bow wow is no stranger to the acting …
A day in the country movie
Jean Renoir or was undeniably the most interesting french filmmaker of the 1930s. A day in the country is one of his absolute finest works. It tells the story of two men and one woman taking a trip to the country together. Both of the men falls in love …
“Crash” Motion Picture
I rented Crash the film because it was on the top 100 list of netflix films and I had never seen it. I knew it was about car crashes but I so did not see this movie coming. It is mostly about race relations, anger …
A Frozen Flower (a Korean Movie)
If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …
Gidget Grows Up
There was a bit of hiatus between the original three Gidget movies and TV series of the early and mid-60’s to this made-for-TV movie of 1969, but it was worth the wait. Gidget Grows Up is in reality my third favorite of the entire Gidget franchise. It’s …
Dracula Untold, movie (2014)
Dracula Untold is a dark fantasy action film that deals with the origins of Count Dracula, the famous character from Brom Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula. This movie is laced with action and bits of horror throughout. It’s not a perfect movie but as far as action movies go, it pays …
Man of the year movie
Man of the year is a movie staring Robin Williams as a late night comedian who decides to run for president after a member of the audience suggest it. No one really thought he had a chance, however through a glitch with the new Delacroy voting machines he …
Pearl Harbor The Movie
I was never much for history, but I do love a good old fashioned romance which is exactly what this is. I loved this movie more than I originally thought I would and was glad I spent the money to see it in the theaters. And here’s …
Beethoven the movie
I watched Beethoven the movie last night. This movie is pretty flawed but a decent time overall, if you are into dog comedies. It stars Charles Grodin and is produced by comedy legend Ivan Reitman. It came out in 1991.
I think overall it is most notable for a few …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer
I found the trailer to the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on youtube. For those who don’t know, this movie is based on the book and because the book was so long (over seven hundred pages), the movie will be in two installments. This …
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is a great cartoon movie! This was another Red Box dvd kiosk rental, and it was well worth it! I rented it for my 7 yr old daughter, but I loved watching it too! This movie was a shocker for me because I …

Underworld
Vampires and werewolves have always made great movies. Other than Gone With The Wind, i think the original Dracula movie is among the most popular of all time. One thing vampire movies have never lacked is a smoking hot girl in them gracing the screen. Usually, the girls end …
The Host movie
The Host is a Korean made movie. The movie is about how a terrifying creatures that lives by the riverbanks started to crash and eat people. This creature apparently the Host of an unidentified virus.
It all started when a scientist ordered his assistant to throw away all …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
The original film from the 1950s is about a man who returns to his home town after many years and discovers the people there have been possessed by aliens, or is it just him going insane and imagining everything?
Well, the film begins with this man coming to a hospital, …
Down to You (starring Julia Stiles)
I love this movie so much! Freddie Prinze Jr. is one of my most favorite actor and as for actress, Julia Stiles isn’t that bad too. Both of them simply rock in this movie I’ve watched before, Down to You. With a cool name as Imogen, Julia …
Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House (2002)
As the fanfare dies down, the roars silenced and the smoke clears from the forth three Home Alone movies, this fourth episode in the saga comes on by and leaves a very bitter taste in the mouths of the viewing public. Taking the series into such a dark area …
Lucky People Center International movie
A swedish documentary that focuses on a lot of things. Mainly it is a film about the human injustice of the world as it looks today, but it is also very philosophical and makes the viewer think about life as a whole. However, it isn’t what the film is …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
I brought Eeyan and Natasha, my 2 cute nephew and niece, respectively to watch Kung Fu Panda (2008). It was real super fun and we had a great time. The thing was that I was supposed to go with my date on that day, this 26 year …
Knight and Day movie
This is not a family movie! There aren’t any swearing in this film except the F-word was said once. Knight and Day features a commando like guy, going to protect a battery and a high school student, meets up with this innocent girl who has a place to go …
Music and Lyrics
For people who grew up in the 80’s, much of the subtle humor in the recent movie, “Music and Lyrics” is not as subtle as it is obvious and in your face. From the incredibly cheesy music videos, to the fanatical gyrations of a has-been, this movie made me …
Protect and Serve: A Thriller by Vince Flynn
Another installment in Vince Flynn’s popular Mitch Rapp series. As usual, Flynn is right up to date with his settings and back stories.
Mitch Rapp is one of the better developed characters in popular action fiction. Flynn makes the hardbitten undercover operative the kind of guy we wish worked for …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.
Plot: 9/10, the plot of the story is well formed and easy to understand. The …
ATL (movie)
I must admit that I was skeptical about this film at first. I didn’t realize that the movie was based on a real “era” in Atlanta. Furthermore, I did not realize that the movie was written by Antwone Fisher. The story centers around (4) teenage friends …
Eight Mile movie
Before watching this movie I really did not have too much background on rap nor did it really strike me as something that is hard to do-just a bunch of aimless words being spoken with a beat. Featuring Eminem, this movie is about his story and how he made …
The Godfather Movie
A film I consider to be one of the best films ever made is “The Godfather,” made in 1972 and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
As close as any film will ever come to being a true masterpiece, “The Godfather” set a new standard of excellence that has only been …
Land of the Dead, movie (2005)
When zombies made their return to the forefront of horror film, there were almost as many good ones as bad ones. For every good one like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, there were bad ones like the remakes for Dawn of the Dead and Day …
COBRA, the movie (1986)
When motorcyclists start chasing under the window in the middle of the night, I immediately think of this movie. Sly was so good at shooting them with a machine gun on the move! Except I wouldn’t take a machine gun, but a heavy machine gun and enough ammo to go …
My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)
My Super Ex-Girlfriend, directed by Ivan Reitman is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content, crude humor, language and brief nudity.

The Happiest Millionaire
The first big live-action movie musical for Disney Studios was a film called “The Happiest Millionaire”. As a young girl, I’d heard about this movie, and I was dying to see it. When it opened in town, it was only at the drive-in, and my parents didn’t …

The Interview - (2014) Movie
I’m sure everyone has heard of the movie, ‘The Interview’ starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. I’ve seen the movie name in the news many times in the past few months because of North Korea’s displeasure with the movie revolving around the assassination of Kim Jong Un and more …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
National Treasure movie
I admit that I don’t like watching Nicholas Cage movies. There is nothing wrong with his acting skills; however for me he represent an actor with a lot of contrast. I really enjoyed watching his movie “The Rock”; however I really hated to watch his movie “City of Angels”. …
Thor (2011) Movie
I have for a long time been an amateur of legendary or epic figures, and especially those present in the Norse culture. For this very reason, I was unsure about watching this movie, being afraid that it might be more in the Hollywood style and not reflect the true …

This episosde was pretty good for the typical monster-of-the-week …
Wonder Woman - Superhero Movie (2017)
In the battle of DC vs Marvel, Marvel has come out on top due to the high quality of each film they make. DC has suffered with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad- two movies that had all the necessary hype surrounding it but didn’t …
Sicario (2015 Crime Thriller Movie)
A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …
