Mame
In the early seventies, TV brought Auntie Mame to the small screen with Lucille Ball in the title role. Ball is just about the leading comedienne in all of film and movies, and she does a very nice job here. I liked her as Mame, and I …
Movie : The Fair Haired Child
The Fair Haired Child, directed by William Malone, is an entertaining entry into the Masters of Horror series. I love this series of hour long films from Showtime and wish it hadn’t gone off the air. I love how it took the spirit of old eighties shows …
Ella Enchanted
I love Ella Enchanted. There’s a beautiful cast for this movie and they consist of Minnie Driver, Hugh Dancy, Anne Hathaway especially and many more.
Anne plays the character of Ella and this movie is something like Enchanted. In fact, this movie was made first prior to …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
American Dreamz
I watched this movie on HBO y�day. This is a nice entertainer based on the mega hit reality show American Ideal. Its nice Everyone is trying to participate and with the Idol show, and they try hard and make every possible effort to ensure their win. By hook or …
Rabbit Hole movie
Rabbit Hole is the best drama that I’ve seen this year. The film has to offer that quality of that the drama watchers want and they will love it. A very sensitive issue is exposed in a way that makes your bones shake, and the professionalism of the …
Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
The Kindred horror film
I’d always wanted to see the horror film The Kindred. It was primarily because I’d seen the ad for it in the newspaper when I was a little girl. I thought it looked properly creepy. It said something about someone having a brother they didn’t know about, and it …
Play it Again Sam (1972) Woody Allen
Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …
Once
The movie Once is something that my boyfriend and I love watching. It is a musical drama, and is Irish too. The musical has a courtship like, and has an R rating.
The story is about a street musician, and a kindred spirit, featuring a younger girl, who …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
It is quite unusual to see Renee Zellwegger in a horror movie like case 39, to say the least. When I think about Renee Zellwegger I am coming up with images from Bridget Jones Diary or Jerry Maguire. But she did it, and she did it brilliantly. She brought …
Kiss the girls
Kiss the girls stars Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman - both who I think are good actors. It is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america for violence and sexual content.
A killer that calls himself ‘Casanova’ has kidnapped eight young women who are all beautiful and all …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey has always been a very cool and talented actor. And I remember after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I feel that this is something like the effect of having a too much technical jargon of a life.
I wouldn’t ever trade my previous memories …
Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
The Third Man movie
Hailed as one of the best films of all time, The Third Man is a complex noir-like film about an american arriving in Germany and gets involved in mysterious events when his friend apparently has died. The film was directed by Carol Reed, and features Joseph Cotten and Orson …
B-Movie Classic: The Evil Dead
Way before the Spider-Man movies ever existed, director Sam Raimi made a film called The Evil Dead. This film, in no way, is a blockbuster hit. Evil Dead is a classic bad movie, which was meant to scare, yet at the same time, humor.
The movie stars a young man …
Addams Family Values
Addams Family Values is the sequel to the Addams Family movie, based on the television series of the same name. this one jumps right into the action unlike the first movie, which took some time to get going. After Morticia gives birth the family decides to find a nanny …
Dances With Wolves
We like Kevin Costner as an actor and we saw Dances With Wolves last week. Even after all these years this is still an excellent movie.
Kevin Costner plays a civil war hero who is disenchanted with the status of hero that he received and requested that he be …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Chappie Movie (2015)
Chappie is an excellent follow-up to District 9 and Elysium and is one of the better transhuminism films that are out today. It delivers complex ideas about molding the human mind and also attempts to imagine the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
First of all, this movie will tug at your …
Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Antonio Negri-A Revolt That Never Ends movie
A documentary about the controversial radicalist Antonio Negri, telling his life story from the 1960s when his ideas came to everyone’s attention and all the way to the present day when he is still as influential as a political thinker. Being as hated among his enemies as he is …
Dus (movie), 2005
I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …
The Perfect Man movie
“The Perfect Man” represents the perfect cast for the perfect romantic movie. The main actors in this movie, Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear and Chris Noth are totally great in this romantic comedy about two people who have never meet but were made for each other. This is definitely one …
Movie: Blackbeard the Pirate
I was flipping channels the other morning and came across a pirate movie called Blackbeard the Pirate.
I hadn’t seen this movie before but love older films like this so I figured I would sit down and watch it while everyone else was still asleep. After seeing it, I honestly …
300: Rise of an Empire (fantasy action movie)
I delayed watching the movie “300: Rise of an Empire” for two main reasons. The first was that I’d become very wary of sequels, since they generally don’t live up to the expectations of the viewer. The second reason was because I heard it wasn’t very good at all. After …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …
Turistas DVD Movie
My first and primary reason I decided to watch Turistas is because of my love for the actor, Josh Duhamel. I really love watching him acting, and if you are trying to recall which one is him, he is the one playing Las Vegas TV episodes. The …

Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …
Hi De Ho movie
As the name might indicated, Hi De Ho is a Cab Calloway feature. The 1937 film has the famous bandleader belting out his special Hi De Ho song with a zing.
However, there is a disturbing nuance in the opening. We have Cab singing to a woman named …

Children of Men
I am just gonna come right out and say this. This is one of the BEST movies I have ever seen. You can really review this movie on two planes. One, the technical aspect of it, and another, the movie itself. I’ll start with the …
Four Brothers Mark Wahlberg
This is one of my favoite movies. I have always been a fan of Mark Wahlberg and he did an excellent job in this film. His tough exterior and gritty attitude was just what this movie needed. He and his other three brothers are on a mission to find …
All-American Co-Ed movie
All-American Co-Ed, a 1941 release starred Frances Langford as Virginia Collinge, one of the college gals attending Mar Brynn College. Her roommate, however, isn’t exactly who, or what, she, er, he, seems. It is all based on a crazy premise about rival schools getting their jollies at …
Virtuosity movie
The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …

Caddyshack 2 Movie
While I am not one of the biggest fans of golf, I love Caddyshack 2. And believe me, it’s not for the golf. It’s for the comedy. While I have seen the first Caddyshack, I saw the second movie first and I always seem to rotate back to the …

Movie The Wrestler
I didn’t actually want to see the movie “The Wrestler” with my friends since I had seen it advertise about once or twice and I thought that the storyline looked like something I would not be very interested in. Also, unlike previous times, I am not interested in the …
Firehouse movie
Released in 1997, this movie called Firehouse stars Richard Dean Anderson as Lt. Michael Brooks, who ends up being shot by a sniper while fighting a fire early in the movie. Anderson, by the way, was one of the executive producers of the film, via his company, Gekko …
Derailed (2002)
Canada, you must be so proud. The only butt kicker who can rival Steven Seagal in this modern age is at it again with this 2002 film, action packed and adventure lade, Derailed. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Canada’s favorite son, is revising his role as the toughest SOB ever to …
Paul Walker movie
I recently rented the movie Running Scared with Paul Walker from Blockbuster. I completely recommend this movie for almost everybody! The only people who might not like it are those who don’t like a little violence. IT is a great ‘mobster’ type of movie revolving around Paul …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …
