The Blind Side
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention ‘The Blind Side’ is the movie for which the actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for best female interpretation. This is true, however the film is much more than that. The story of this movie is so touching that …
Blade (movie)
I love vampire movies but will also admit that most of them are like every other one I’ve ever seen. That’s why I’m a big fan of the movie Blade.
Like most vampire films, Blade focuses on a vampire hunter. Only, this is one of the very few vampire hunters …
Cloverfield Movie
Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield. Never before have I heard so many people talk about a movie, especially one that was still months away from being released. Starting several months before the movie ever came out, the strange and not very descriptive trailers hit the web and people immediately began talking. …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …

Midnight in Paris (movie)
I had never heard of the movie “Midnight in Paris” until I saw where someone mentioned it in a blog a few weeks ago. The person mentioned that it was a brilliant independent film that all independent film lovers should see, and proceeded to give a description of the …
Head over Heels movie
“Head over Heels” is a cute romantic movie about how a young girl’s life can change from a disasterous moment to even more disasters when she meets the good looking hank that lives in the opposite from her building.
In this movie we see how Amanda (Monica Potter) is head …
Gravity (science fiction movie)
Gravity is one of those movies that I kept hearing from people that I had to see. I couldn’t really understand why either since I thought that the trailer didn’t really appeal to me much, and I’m not too fond of many of the movies that the actress Sandra Bullock …
61* Movie
I just watched this DVD last night. We ordered it from Netflix since my boyfriend and his brother said it was a good movie. Surprisely, I got really into it. This is a movie based on the M&M boys. I had never really heard about them except for maybe …
You don’t mess with the Zohan
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …
Escape To Witch Mountain
Another cherished Disney memory from the 70s, I was thrilled when it became available on DVD. Escape to Witch Mountain is the tale of aliens who crashland on Earth. Survivors of the tragedy found refuge on what the surrounding community called Witch Mountain, because of the strange goings-on there.
Tia …
Must Love Dogs movie
We recently rented the DVD “Must Love Dogs,” starring Diane Lane and John Cusack. Or, I should say, my wife rented it.
This is definitely a roma-comedy, a chick flick, more appropriate to a girls nite with Ben & Jerry than to a nite with her husband.
There is some …
Side Effects (movie)
Side Effects was one of those movies that I didn’t watch because of how if was apparently received by quite a number of people. It didn’t even get a great rating on it’s IMDB page and so I just left it or ignored it till I eventually forgot about it. …
“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …
Movie Waterworld
For some reason, my husband loves “Waterworld.” I love my husband, but I loathe and detest this film.
It’s hard to believe that this 1975 cinematic “messterpiece” was one of the most expensive movies ever made. Maybe they spent a lot of the money on the sets …

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
I love the first National Treasure movie. So, when they came out with the sequel, Book of Secrets, I couldn’t wait to see it.
Unfortunately, even though I did enjoy the film, I felt it fell well short of the original.

When this movie came out, people told us it was the most terrifying thing …
He’s Just Not That Into You
My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.

Cool World movie
One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.

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 …
Drew Peterson: Untouchable, movie
I have to admit, that I don’t like a lot of Lifetime dramas since I believe that a lot of them are just plain mediocre when it comes to the acting, the plot and the overall way in which the entire thing was put together. There are even some …
Yaadein (movie), 2001
The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …

The Company of Wolves (1984)

Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
Best of Raw vol.1
I bought Best of Raw vol.1 on VHS a couple years ago. And I have to say this is a great video. It shows you the early days of WWF RAW. And yes this takes it back to the days when it was WWF and not WWE. I really like …

Lucky Number Sleven
The Kansas City Shuffle. I would love to go up to a random man, waiting in a bus station, only to talk about the Kansas City Shuffle, as Bruce Willis did at the beginning of this wonderful movie. I enjoy every single movie that I’ve seen with Bruce Willis, …
17 Again movie
I never watched this movie in the cinema, even after watching the trailer because not only do I think that the story or the idea of the protagonist reverting to his teenager self has been done over and over again and that I have seen too much of Zac …
