Legend of Zorro movie
The sequel to the very popular adventure film from the late 90s. In this film, Zorro went and got himself a son who doesn’t know his identity but only that his father is Alejandro de la Vega. The rest of the plot is very similar to the first movie, …
The Accidental Husband (Movie)
When Uma Thurman was interviewed after doing this movie she actually told the reporter that this movie’s main plot has actually happened before and I was surprised and intrigued that someone can be married already but accidentally and it’s really terrible to be in that situation especially when you …
Life As We Know It Movie (2010)
I watched this movie because if features one of my favorite actresses Katherine Heigl, it also features Josh Duhamel and I thought it would be a funny movie but I actually found it was really serious for actors like them to be playing this part. The movie is about …
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 …
Erin Brockovich Movie
This is a fantastic movie! Whenever it comes on television I like to watch it all the way through.
Erin Brockovich is the incredible true story of a single mother of three children. She begins to work at a law firm on an important case dealing with a company that …
Gidget movie
Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.
Sandra …
Autumn in New York
Autumn in New York is a mediocre romantic movie with an element of drama. The movie has Richard Gere and Winona Ryder playing the lead roles. It is the story of a man who falls in love with a very ill woman. I watched this movie on cable and …
Movie Duma
Duma with Alexander Michaletos.
This movie was made for kids, but I watched it anyway because I usually enjoy animal movies. I suppose that the movie was a clone of the famous Lion adventure Born Free, but I still enjoyed it anyway.
The movie …
The Science of Sleep movie
The Science of Sleep, starring Gael Garcia Bernal (of “Y Tu Mama Tambien”) is a very strange film directed by Michel Gondry (who also directed “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). The film follows a young man who happens to fancy his neightbor Stephanie.
The beauty of this film …
The Maltese Falcon
I have seen dozens of mysteries but none of them compare to the movie The Maltese Falcon. Even though the movie was made 34 years before I was born, it is still the best murder mystery ever.
Humphrey Bogart is amazing as the detective Sam Spade. There’s nothing to not …
Romulus, My Father (2007)
Romulus, My Father (2007)

This is a great human story based on the memoir of Raimond Gaita. His father Romulus is a farmer from a Romanian origin and his mother Christina is German. Raimond is a happy child brought up …
Don’t Mess with Zohan
After having his last movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” blasted by criticism, the actor Adam Sandler had to come up with a good movie. This answer is in his last movie “Don’t Mess with Zohan” which on the whole seems to have won over the critics …
Whisper of the Heart movie
Another good good good!
Another topnotch of Ghibli stuff. This is is one of the romance movie I have seen without cliche and it tackles so much about life in a very simple way. Though its an old movie it definitely deserves a second look.
Hayao Miyazaki is one of …
Movie: Haunting of Winchester House
I wanted something to watch late last night that was interesting but didn’t have a plot that was overly complicated. So, I fell back onto my usual horror genre and picked out one that seemed interesting; Haunting of Winchester House.
I actually was familiar with the Winchester House legend (thank …
The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …
The Departed (2006)
“The Departed” is a powerful police, criminal drama of deception and tension. Officer Billy Costigan (Leonardo DeCaprio) is a recent graduate of the Massachusetts state police academy placed deep under cover to infiltrate the mob gang of Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson).

The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” tells the story of three people, Tereza (Juliette Binoche), her husband Tomas, and his mistress Sabrina. The story is largely existential featuring people who seem to lack any substantive values so they seek meaning to life by doing things, no matter what the acts …
Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …
Awake film
Hayden Christenson (Star Wars) stars as Clay, a wealthy, good-looking, youthful billionaire. At primary glance Clay emerges to have it all; a gorgeous girlfriend (Sam played by Jessica Alba), great friends (amid them Dr. Harper played through Terrance Howard) money however not all is as it looks. Clay, above …
The Woman in Black (horror movie)
I’ve heard a lot of people say that the movie “The Woman in Black” was either stupid or boring or both. I’ve also seen it rated from below average to average in various places on the internet. However, for some reason I didn’t think that it was all that bad. …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Sex Tape (comedy movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Sex Tape for the very first time, I knew almost immediately that it wasn’t going to be very good. Nevertheless, I was still interested in the premise surrounding the film, which was the idea of a married couple accidentally releasing a Sex …
The Matrix (science fiction action movie)
I remember watching the movie “The Matrix” years ago when I was still a child and being completely impressed by the effects and action and being completely blown out of the water by the storyline. However, the problem is that I never really understood it or understood what the Matrix …
Movie: “The Benchwarmers” (2006)
I was highly disappointed by this movie. It had such potential, starring comic giants Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder, and Jon Lovitz. But it failed to entertain.
Gus (Schneider), Richie (Spade), and Clark (Heder) are three misfit friends who love baseball. One day, as they’re getting ready to play, …
The Lovely Bones
I had read the book and really wanted to see this movie. I took my daughter with me, as she had read the book as well. We were both hoping for a different ending than the book had, and we were happy to see an ending we both liked. …
The Blob movie
My wife and I ended up blowing off our housework yesterday and watched movies all day. One of the films we saw was the 1958 classic “The Blob.”
Even though I’ve seen the sequels and remakes of the movie, I still feel this original is the best. Steve McQueen is …
Bean Movie
Although at some point in our lives we may relate to this almost non-speaking wobbley man in this movie named Bean (played by Rowan Atkinson) shown in 1997 (directed by Mel Smith), because of stupidity we commit every now and then, no one would dare admit it openly. …
40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …
Movie Iron Man (2008)
Iron Man (2008) is an action film by Jon Favreau that’s rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.
Iron Man is based on the famous comic book about a man named Tony Stark, who is both a billionare playboy, and a genius …
Big Daddy
I thought Big Daddy was a pretty good and funny Adam Sandler movie. I think the whole concept of him raising the kid was funny. The movie was not only funny but very touching! One thing I did not like about this movie though was that there were gay scenes …
Sleeping Beauty Disney 2-Disc DVD
Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.
When I was a kid, this was one of the few movies that actually managed to thrill me, and yet scare me in at least …
Shaadi No.1
Shaadi No.1 is a comedy movie.The story is narrated around three husbands, three wives and three girl friends. I think the story is clear. David Dhawan, the director of the movie, showed the consequences that could be faced by husbands, if they cheat their wives and lag behind girl …
Motherhood Motion Picture
I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …
The Hurt Locker (2009 film)
The Hurt Locker is a film that I expected with great interest not only because of the quantity of praise given to it but also because it was the first film in a long while that was addressing the Iraq war. Kathryn Bigelow, world’s first female …
Inception movie
Oh. My. God. If only I could write this review in caps, I would have wholeheartedly done so just to stress how freaking amazing this movie is.
From someone who watched the likes of Rashomon to My Favorite Martian on a daily rotating basis, I sadly found myself living …
Taken in Broad Daylight (2009)
I have no idea if this movie ever made it to the theatres but in any event I saw this on the Lifetime channel and found it very interesting. It is about a teenager who was kidnapped from a shopping mall and as the title says, it was done …
Texas Cowgirl
I am reviewing The Case of the Texas Cowgirl, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Grumpier Old Men
I am reviewing the movie, Grumpier Old men starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. This movie is about what the title suggests: a couple of grumpy old men. Only this year, they’re grumpier. These men are both friends and rivals, and their rivalry will have you laughing …
Edward Scissorhands (starring Johnny Depp)
Edward Scissorhands is a very heart-wrenching story that makes me cry buckets each time I watched. I just can’t get enough of Johnny Depp in this story and this is one of the best movies by him ever that I dubbed him one of the best actors. He totally deserves …
Passion of the Christ
An intensely moving film, The Passion of the Christ explores the last day of the life of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion. As a Christian myself, I was led to tears at what I witnessed. So often we go to church every Sunday and forget what the true meaning …
Bambi (Disney Movie)
Bambi is a very delightful movie and it’s very cool. I really think Bambi is a great movie for young people and even adults. The morals in this movie are good and should be learned by all. I think that Bambi looks really cue and he is very lovable. I …
Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …
Disturbia movie
My cable company is giving us the movie channels for the weekend for free. So I have been watching movies on them lately, at least the ones I haven’t seen already. I was going to watch disturbia when it came out and then I totally forgot about it and …
