The Devil Wears Prada
Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …

The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …

Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …

Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …

30 Days of Night (R, 2007) movie

Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …

This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …

I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …
Picture Perfect
I’m not sure what it is about Jennifer Aniston movies, but, whenever I see them, I just can’t stay focused on them.

The Mirror Has Two Faces

This is one of the lifetime movies that I watched a couple of years ago. I have seen it twice if I remember correctly. Although it wasn’t one of my favorites from them it is definately worth watching. I really liked it overall, I thought that it was a …
Naruto Episode 14 Subbed
Despite some of the earlier episodes that had a lot of flashbacks, this episode managed to be quite interesting. The main character is back in the action, none too soon in my personal opinion, but of course this does not amount to any interesting action. In fact, Naruto’s entrance …
Sister Helen movie

Smart People (R, 2008)
I expected a bit more from this movie than I got. But I should have known that because it was made by the same man who did “Sideways” —that the movie was going to be one of those occasionally humorous quiet, thinking people films. Usually …
