Movies Reviews
Anatomy Movie
Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …
Ma and Pa Kettle Back on the Farm
Theatrical movie number three for the countrified Kettle family was Ma and Pa Kettle Back on the Farm. In this film, their oldest child Tom and his wife Kim come back to the farm, too, with great news. Kim is pregnant. It’s at this time that …
The Iron Lady movie
I make it a point to watch as many of the Oscar contenders as possible before the awards are handed out in February, so that my enjoyment of the ceremony itself can be magnified by my rooting for this or that actor, director or writer. This year I wasn’t …
Made of Honor
Another new released movie, Made of Honor is one of the best movies that I’ve watched. I’m not bluffing alright. I could see the same lines of this movie in a novel and I would still enjoy reading it the same.
It stars my hunky favorite actor, whom …
Basquiat (1996 film)
I will open by saying that “Basquiat” is a terrific film, in every way you could name. The performances, by an all-star ensemble cast, are nearly flawless, the direction and visual composition of the film mirrors the personal, intense nature of its subject’s art, and the soundtrack covers a …
The Strangers (2008)
I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …
Unstoppable ( 2010 Movie )

Wild Wild West
I was almost eleven when the movie “Wild Wild West” came out in theatres. It was a little before I just entered high school and I can remember how a lot of m friends who were in that same age group wanted to watch it. Back then, we …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an attracting and unique movie with a brilliant idea to combine cartoon and real world. It is not a movie about Bugs Bunny and Brendan Fraser while they act in the same scene (Looney Tunes:Back in Action) but about a hole where every cartoon who enters …
Particia Heaton
Particia Heaton is a very good actress who is best know for her role as Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond. I think she is a great actress and I became a fan of hers as soon as they show was aired. I think Particia Heaton is the best character on …
Prince of Persia (2010)
When I told people I would be going to see Prince of Persia in theaters, they always accused me of going to see it just to watch a muscular bodied, cute faced Jake Gyllenhaal on a huge screen. I would defend myself by saying that I had actually played …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …
Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …
Star Wreck (DVD)
This is a DVD collection of three “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons from the 1980s. I remember watching these on Saturday morning as a kid, so it was nice to see Alvin, Simon and Theodore again in action. I particularly love their theme song, “We’re the Chipmunks”, and the …
Movie Beowulf (2007)
This movie surprised me a bit when I saw it for the first time, maybe the disturbing regular nudity of the hero more than anything… anyway..phallic fixations, parent-child problems and low passions, is the new adaptation of the epic poem. Being the third adaptation of the story of “Beowulf” …
Aquamarine
I watched Aquamarine with my ex boyfriend years back and up till now, if there are any of my young cousins coming, this would be one of their most favorite DVD to watch.
The mermaid is so gorgeous in this movie and acted by Sara Paxton. I really …
The flight of the phoenix movie

This is definitely not one of Robert Aldrich’s …
Alice In Wonderland (2010 Version)
Alice In Wonderland, Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Disney film actually goes in quite a different direction than what I expected. Obviously with Burton, there’s going to be quite a few twists to the movie and overall sort of a dark or gothic type mood to it and …
The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …
Perfect Strangers
The best way to describe “Perfect Strangers” is a disturbing and shocking thriller that will keep you glued till the end of the movie. The true assets of this movie are a great script, a great director and, very importantly, a great trio of actors Sam Neill, …
Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
Cars The Movie

Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …

K-Pax
I am reviewing the movie, K-Pax, starring Kevin Spacey. This movie asks the question, is there life on other planets? It explores just that. Kevin Spacey plays Prot, a being claiming to be from another planet. He is brought in to see a psychiatrist and stays …
Waiting, movie
It might be a bit much for a more grown up audience, but “Waiting” does have its good moments and brings up the feelings that almost everyone goes through at one time or another when they don’t know where they’re going in life. Ryan Reynolds’s is charming, Dane Cook …
Monsters versus Aliens
We got a chance to watch the movie Monsters versus Aliens this past weekend. When we did, I figured it would be something our daughter would like but I didn’t expect my wife and I to be entertained too.
There is a great cast of voices ranging from Reese Witherspoon …
The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
Disney’s Peter Pan
Peter Pan by Disney is one of my favorite Disney classics and it beings back some great memories. Peter Pan will always be a classic movie in my view. I like the whole story about how he does not want to grow up and always stay a kid. I find …

Grand Theft Parsons (movie)
To be honest, I’d only heard the name Gram Parsons but I never had the urge to find out who this person was until I watched the movie “Grand Theft Parsons”. I might not have known of the musician whom they were referring to but my inability to resist …
Music and Lyrics (movie )
I’m a fan of both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so I had some interest in seeing them together in Music and Lyrics. But, I didn’t know I’d enjoy the movie so much. Grant plays Alex, a has been pop star and Barrymore is Sophie, an aspiring …

Accepted movie

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

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 …

My son and I went to see the movie The Book of Eli and I have to say that, had I had any idea in advance how bad this movie was, I would never have paid the ticket price to go see it.

All About Steve
I enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, because they are generally lighthearted, feel-good romps which also teach a lesson, however cliché, about human nature and kindness. Although she has recently begun to choose roles a little more serious and substantial than her usual romantic comedies, I knew All About Steve would …
The Others Nicol Kidman Movie
The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …

Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …

Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
