The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Movie
I have been a fan of Peter Jackson’s movies ever since the first “Lord of the Rings” movie came out - “The Fellowship of the ring”. And I think that with “The Hobbit” trilogy that he is now making I was again able to return to the amazing fantasy …
The Mark of Zorro (1940)
Filmgoers today associate “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas but, as wonderful as Banderas is in the title role of the more updated version of this film, he can’t hold a candle to the original “Mark of Zorro” star Tyrone Power, who is just magnificent in this movie.
Power was at the …
27 Dresses
27 Dresses was a chick flick starring Katherine Heigel and James Marsden. I never saw it when it was playing in the theaters, but I did see it was it was released and I thought it was really cute. Heigel plays a woman who takes the idea of “always …
Alien Versus Predator Requim
My husband and I saw this movie last night. The movie started out with the viewer knowing quite a bit of the continuing saga of the alien and predator saga. It did pick up where the last left off with the predator having captured some specimens of …
Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”
I don’t go to the cinema all that often - not only is it quite expensive, but also I prefer to be able to pause, rewind, have a snack without disturbing fellow viewers and, most of all, I like to talk during a movie. Therefore, I tend to watch …
Sex and the City the movie
I am the fan from Sex and the city TV serial. I always watch it every season and never nissed it. When it will be making in movie, I’m happy because it’s been four years those serial is ended.
Like the serials, sex and the city the movie still starred …

Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)
With the previous entry in the series (Dead Man’s Chest) boasting a controversial cliffhanger of an ending, fans who saw Dead Man’s Chest were no doubt clamoring for the epic finale to the trilogy after walking out of the theater one year ago. Indeed, for me it was a …
Across the Universe
I’m a huge fan of Beatles music. So, when I heard there was a musical that was based on their songs, I had to watch it. I wasn’t disappointed.
Across the Universe is a great film. It mixes a love story with fantastic song numbers while managing to send a …
Cinderella (2015 Film)
Disney’s most beloved fairytale was brought back to life this year in a highly-budget live-action film starring Lily James as the titular character, Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother, and Richard Madden as the handsome prince charming! The film was directed by Kenneth Branagh and scored by Patrick Doyle. It …
‘Star Trek Beyond’ 2016 movie
In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …
Sicario (2015 Crime Thriller Movie)
A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …

Film Beetlejuice
Few films are as wildly inventive as Tim Burton’s manic masterpiece Beetlejuice.
Telling the tale of Adam and Barbara (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), living in a small town and unable to have children, who are exiled after an unexpected death to live in their beautiful country home. It wouldn’t …
Saw II movie
The sequel to the controversial horror movie Saw, which had many similiarities to Seven, but which I still thought had some quality and interesting storyline to it. A horror movie that didn’t quite follow the conventional rules. The story was about people being kidnapped by a psychopathic man. He …
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 …
Movie Eagle Eye
Now this has got to be, in my opinion, the best movie for 2008. Eagle Eye was a very very unique and interesting movie, starring the ever so hott Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, and the beautiful Rosario Dawson.
The movie surrounds two main characters, Jejrry and Rachel, complete and …
License to Wed (2007)
License to Wed, directed by Ken Kwapis is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual humor and language. The original release date was July 3, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and stars Robin Williams as Reverend Frank, …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …

This movie is about a war veteran who was blinded in the line of duty by a grenade blast that went off directly in front of him. He is taught by the locals to use his blindness to his advantage and they also taught him how to use the …
The Company of Wolves (1984)
This is a unique werewolf movie based on “Red Riding Hood” and one I enjoyed watching. Angela Landsbury is the star and she does a wonderful job of playing the girl’s grandmother. Based on the clothing the characters wear, the story is set during Pilgrim days except it takes …
Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
The Muppets (2011 film)
I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …
The Call (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …
Princess Diaries
The said movie is an adaptation of a book series by Meg Cabot, and although it is entirely different from the book version, I could still describe this movie as “transforming and relatable”.
The movie follows the story of Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), a gawky freshman student whose life was …
Movie Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
Count Dracula’s Great Love (1972)
I first discovered this bizarre vampire film on TV in the 1970’s under the slightly abbreviated title Dracula’s Greatest Love. This is another in a long line of horror movies starring Spain’s Paul Naschy and his first and only Dracula film.
Some women find themselves stranded …
Without a Trace Movie
This movie may be little known to the general public.But is shown frequently on most cable and satellite channels. It is one of the most heart warming and heart wrenching movies i’ve ever seen.It involves the disappearance of an 8 year old little boy on his way to school.The …
“Easy A” (2010 Film)
The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …
Open Water 2
This is a surprisingly good sequel. What made it good was how it diverged from the original. The main danger in Open Water was the ever present threat of shark attack. In Open Water 2, the writer and director cleverly play on the expectation …
The Proposal movie
I was looking forward to seeing The Proposal when it came out this week on DVD, mainly because I think Sandra Bullock is a comedic genius. She also produced this film, and in my opinion, she has a knack for making non-cheesy, seriously funny comedies that also work as …
King Arthur (2004)
This is a rather interesting, fresh look at the story of King Arthur. Most of us have probably heard the legends: Arthur, Lancelot, the Round Table, the Excalibur sword stuck in the stone, Merlin the wizard. This movie contains all those elements, but, rather than just retelling the legend, …
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“The Wizard of Oz” is one of the best MGM musicals of all time and a film that continues to cross generational lines. I read somewhere that they had originally wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy. As talented a child actress as Temple was, …
Flashback of a Fool
When I saw the movie “Flashbacks of a Fool” on the cable guide last night I was a bit baffled as to how I never heard of it; and it was a fairly recent movie; especially since I learned after, the popular British actor who now plays the role …
Movie on Excalibur
The legend of King Arthur and his knights have managed to be portrayed in various versions. However, as one might want to know the earlier depictions of the legend, there is one movie title that you should watch. Excalibur is the title of the movie, that has been produced …
The Karate Kid 2010
I just watched the 2020 remake of The Karate Kid. It was an enjoyable movie. I must say though that I enjoyed the first movie the best. The remake is entertaining but not a movie that I’ll find myself watching over and over again. Not because of the …
Sprung (1997)
Sprung, directed by Rusty Cundieff is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for some strong sexuality and language. The original release date was May 14, 1997 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy and stars Tisha Campbell as Brandy, Rusty Cundieff …
Movie Wild Hogs
One of my favorite comedy movies. I watched this movie I would say about a month ago. It’s a great comedy movie. My favorite thing about the movie is that it keeps you laughing throughout the entire thing. They do fall down a lot on their motorcycles but they …
Snow Angels
I don’t really even know where to begin with this movie. I don’t know what to say about it. Overall it was an alright movie, I liked some part of it and I didn’t like some part of it. I think for the most part I didn’t like the …
Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …
The Runner
The Runner with Ron Eldard, Courtney Cox, John Goodman, and Joe Mantegna.
What a sad movie! Why do movies that take place in Las Vegas usually bring me down? I always say that a movie should not be depressing and this movie was so ugly …
SlumDog Millionare
This is one great movie i watch in the last 2008. Slumdog Millionaire share a story about a “Who wants to be a millionaire” contestant in India (a young man) that live in the slums. He win the game and get the highest prize, but unfortunately he was arrested …
“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 …
