Movies Reviews
Hitch Movie
One of the best and my favorite comedians and actors is Will Smith, he can do comedy as if he was born to do it and act comically, he also has great skills as with Bad Boys and Hancock, and here on Hitch I think this movie really suited …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …
Vertigo
Detective John ‘Scottie’ Ferguson (Jimmy Stewart) has a phobia, a debilitating fear of heights, which paralyzes him. He is hired by a friend to follow his wife, Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak), worried she is seeing someone on the sly. So he does. He follows her to a graveyard, to …
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 …
Knocked Up film
Judd Apatow brings us his sophomore directorial effort Knocked Up, another comedy in the same spirit as his first film, The 40 Year Old Virgin, which starred Steve Carrell of NBC’s The Office.
This fish-out-of-water story features Seth Rogen as Ben Stone, an immature guy who does nothing but smoke …
Devil in a Blue Dress movie
A thriller in an 1940s environment where Denzel Washington plays a freelancing detective with a constant bad luck.
An interesting film stylistically as it recreates the moods of old noir films in color. Compared to LA Confidential, which is similar too this one but in black and white, Devil in …
Timecop (1994)
Timecop, directed by Peter Hyams is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was September 16, 1994 for United States audience. This movie falls the the genre of Action/Science Fiction/Thriller and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Max Walker, Mia Sara as Melissa Walker, …
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace doesn’t exactly strike me as the movie that fans really expected Lucas to make following the original three films. The way that Lucas released his movies makes it slightly hard to connect them all, assuming Episode 2 and 3 are currently missing, …
A Wrinkle In Time Movie
I was fairly young when I first picked up the book “A Wrinkle in Time” — but to his day, very few novels (with the ultimate exception of the Harry Potter series) have managed to match it.
The book is one of high adventure and heavy imagination — and, as …
Movie: Christmas with the Kranks
When I first saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks, I didn’t think it would be a film I would enjoy. I have seen plenty of Tim Allen movies and have liked maybe only one or two; and I don’t go out of my way to watch those on …
Public Enemies
Public Enemies is one of the best made movies I’ve seen in a long time. It tells the parallel stories of John Dillinger on his rise to bank-robbing fame, and the G-Men whose job it was to take him down. Christian Bale and Johnny Depp deliver …
Bye Bye Birdie
I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …
Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …
Friends TV Sitcom DVD
I watched the TV show friends since my teens and until now; I did not get the jokes then but now that I understand them. I have not been bored of it.
Even though the critics criticized the sitcom, saying that it is a copy of Seinfeld. The show seemed …
“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …
The Ugly Truth movie
I absolutely loved this movie. I saw previews for it and thought “it looks alright.. I guess I’ll see it because i want to go to the movies.” So I went to see it and it was so funny. It was better than I had expected. The previews don’t …
TWIMC The Green Hornet
To Whom it May Concern,
I write this review today in hopes that this, my first review, is one of structure, integrity, and originality that will stay in the hearts of millions for the end of time. So to sum it all up I hope …
King of California
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, King of California, starring Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas plays a mentally ill, deadbeat dead who left his daughter to fend for herself. Douglas plays Charlie, a musician who has just been released from a mental hospital. Evan Rachel Wood plays his daughter, …
Va Savoir
Va Savoir is a foreign film that I have watched before since one of my friend works at the cinema. 2 of them actually, one female and one male, and either one always gets me to watch amazing movies that are sometimes not released as yet which is great.
Therefore, …
Columbo: A Bird in the Hand… movie
The story is average, a tale of a wealthy family with a black sheep who gets into gambling over his head. Then to get access to money to save his neck, the black sheep chops off the head of the family patriarch. This brings out Lieutenant Columbo …
Rio 2: An Animated Movie Directed by Carlos Saldanha
My kids and I loved Rio. I fell I love with the bright fun colors and the excellent animation while my kids fell in love with the story. When they saw that Rio 2 was coming out, they were so excited, but were really sad when my husband and …
Hamlet movie
Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …
Disturbing Behavior
One advantage of having a trial of ShowTime for the next three months is I get to see some movies I haven’t seen in a while. This included the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Even though the plot of the movie skips around a bit and is weak in some spots, I …
The movie Monsters Inc.
I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.
It was because of those memories that when Monsters Inc …
Moulan Rouge movie
Moulan Rouge is the kind of movie that people either really love or really hate. It is a musical but contains no original music. Normally I would think this was a weakness, but the theme of the movie is a nightclub that caters to a generation of young people …
The Right Stuff movie
A classic film about the race between USA and the Soviet Union about who was developing quickest in space science. This is a Hollywood film and therefore seen through an american’s eyes, but I don’t think it shows only the good sides of america, it’s no propaganda.
The story focuses …
Moulin Rouge movie
This movie which acts like a musical is very enjoyable to watch. I really liked the singing, and found Nicole Kidman great in her role. The coincidences were funny, and the entire movie was just silly.
The play within the movie was ridiculous, but how they tied it into the …
Superhero Movie
When I saw previews to Superhero Movie, I wasn’t really sure whether it would be funny or not. From the previews, I thought it would just focus on known super heroes like Superman and Batman and find ways to spoof them; a formula that has worked on some subjects …
American Gangster (2007)
American Gangster, directed by Ridley Scott is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for violence, pervasive drug content and language, nudity and sexuality. The original released date was November 2, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Denzel …
Outcast, Movie
There is no denying Nic Cage’s indefatigable work ethic, although even his staunchest fans must concede that some of his performances are at best, curiosities, to be enjoyed much in the same way that people would regard bearded ladies in the Victorian Freak Shows of times past.
This film …
Judge Dredd (1995)
Judge Dredd, directed by Danny Cannon is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd, Armand Assante as his brother Rico, Diane lane as Judge Hershey and Rob Schneider as Herman Ferguson.
Taken from the pages of the comic book by …
Zoolander
Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.
However, do not take too serious note of the political issues …
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1997 Film)
Out of all of the Star Wars movies that came out in the 90’s, episode VI “Return of the Jedi” is my favorite. I had thought that the first two films made in the 90’s were incredible and that nothing could top them, but “Return of the Jedi” was …
17 Again
When I saw the shorts for 17 Again at the movies I was really excited to see it. It looked funny plus it had Zac Effron in it. The movie is about a guy who is unhappy with his life. In high school he chose family …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
Gangs of New York (2002)
Gangs of New York, directed by Martin Scorsese is rated R by the Motin Picture Association of America for intense strong violence, sexuality/nudity and language. The original release date was December 20, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/History and stars Leonardo …
The Deaths of Ian Stone
I’m a huge SyFy junkie, so when I watched this movie a while back, The Many Deaths of Ian Stone, I was mystified and captivated. Of course, it’s a made-for-tv movie, so the special effects leave a lot to be desired, but as far as these movies go, it’s …
DreamGirls (2006 Movie)
I recently saw this movie and loved it. The acting and musical talent was awesome. I already knew that Beyonce` could sing wonderfully but was pleasantly surprised to know that Eddie Murphy could also. There were so many instances that that I laughed and cried. Seeing this movie made …
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Big Trouble in Little China, directed by John Carpenter is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 2, 1986 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Comedy/Fantasy and stars Kurt Russell as Jack Burton, Kim Cattrall as …
Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …
Movie Shooter (2007)
I saw this movie long ago but I’ve seen it again recently and I had to make a review of it, since I really like it.
The story begins in Ethiopia, where we see U.S. military sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) eliminating with his rifle a bunch of terrorist …
No Entry (movie), 2005
The movie No Entry is a very funny comic film. I watched this film on television on its world premiere. The film has been directed by Anees Bazmee. The leading roles have been played by Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley, Esha Deol, and Bipasha …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …
I am Legend Movie
I was very excited going into this movie. I really like Will Smith and could not wait to see what he was going to do with this unique role. I was a little skeptical at first, since he was the only person in the movie, but I didn’t let …
The Blind Side movie
While recently vacationing in Florida, my family and I were hit with the dilemma of nothing-to-do one of the nights we were there. So the family hopped in the car and drove to the nearest movie theater and saw The Blind Side. I was skeptical going in to the …
Bubble Boy
I thought Bubble Boy was a very funny and cool movie. It was very funny yet sad at the same time. I thought the boy who played Bubble Boy did a great job of acting. Everyone else also did a pretty good job of acting in the movie as well. …
There Will Be Blood movie
There Will Bo Blood is a film based in the early 1900’s (I think) about a man who loses his wife, and takes his son (who is probably 8 or 9) with him from place to place to cheat people out of buying their land if they had oil …
Secret Window Movie
This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …
A Real American Hero movie
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from A Real American Hero, a 1978 TV movie about famed sheriff, Buford Pusser. Now this movie was done after at least two of the theatrical Walking Tall films with Joe Don Baker had been released to good success.
I’ve seen those …
Christmas Classics DVD
When i was a child I used to always look forward to the holidays when I could watch movies such as Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer. This Christmas Classics DVD has those two movies on it as well as Santa Claus is Coming to town, …
