Alvin and the Chipmunks movie
I hated this movie so much for many different reasons. One of the main ones was that I expected that they would have made a better movie for it being that “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons would come on local tv on Saturday mornings and it was one of …
Bourne Ultimatum, action spy thriller film
Directed by Paul Greengrass and based on the Robert Ludlum novel, Bourne Ultimatum will be recognized as the best movie in the series. Action packed and a lot of loose ends are tied up.

The movie Once is something that my boyfriend and I love watching. It is a musical drama, and is Irish too. The musical has a courtship like, and has an R rating.

Krazzy 4 Bollywood Movie

Leap Year movie
I’m pretty sure Leap Year is in my top five favorites for movies. Leap Year is an awesome movie that I’ve watched over and over and over. It’s just one of those movies that you don’t get tired of. Of course, it’s a total love story, so maybe that’s …

Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
Ice Princess
Ice Princes is about a girl named Casey Carlie who is trying to complete a physics project so she can get a scholarship for college. Her professor told her to make it about something personal. That’s when she came up with the idea to study the girls figure skating …
The Abyss
It’s an oldie but a goodie, in my book. The Abyss, 1989, stars Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Ed Harris as part of a civilian diving team hired by the military to search for a lost submarin carrying nuclear warheads. When the team, both civilian and military, are disconnected from …
Boyhood (drama movie)
I only found out about the movie Boyhood after seeing the actress Patricia Arquette nominated and win awards for her role in it. Therefore, I was curious to see what the movie was about and her performance was like. After watching it though I had to admit that while I …

Play it Again Sam (1972) Woody Allen
Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …
“In Darkness” historical movie

Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …
Analyze This (1998), movie
American comedies have become part of a cliche after the 90s, the main plot being based simply on a failed relationship or some other unsatisfying cheesy drama. What I can claim to be a good comedy with cleverly conceived humour is ‘Analyze This’, the 1998 movie starring Billy Crystal, …
Precious movie 2009
Precious is not a movie that I probably would have chosen to see, had it not won so many awards. However, it did, and I became curious and I am glad I did see it. It is a sad, yet inspiring story that will make you stop and think twice …
Tinkerbell Great Fairy Rescue
Ever since I was a child, I was a fan of cartoon movies especially about princess and fairies. I grew up knowing Tinkerbell and even though they are not real there’s a part of me that still do. Since I have a daughter now who loves watching movies about …

Movie: Furry Vengence
As I mentioned in another review, my daughter convinced my wife to get movies from one of those movie kiosks this past weekend (they just don’t seem to understand we have Netflix for a reason). Since she got two movies for the price of one, my wife decided to …
Movie My First Wedding
“My First Wedding” is a beautiful romantic comedy about marriage and getting cold feet. The true assist of this movie are the brilliant actors in the main roles, Rachel Leigh Cook and Kenny Doughty.
Most people may remember Leigh Cook from her part in “She’s All That” and the …
Movie Resident Evil: Extinction
I sat down to watch the third Resident Evil movie last night; Extinction. While I thought it was an OK movie, I think they might have taken the series a bit too far.
The first thing I really didn’t like about that movie is the fact about half the main …
Ground Control
Keifer Sutherland plays a burnt out air traffic controller in the movie Ground Control. Henry Fonda plays a mechanic in the air traffic control tower who is trying to keep the system running with duct tape and bailing wire. Once Jack Harris was the best air traffic controller …
Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …
The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …
Transporter
Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …
Lego Batman: The Movie
With the recent “Lego” movie thriving at the box office, I decided to take a look back at its quasi-official predecessor, a direct to video movie that tied into the “Lego Batman” video game franchise, more specifically, the sequel that brought in several of the other heroes that inhabit …
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 …
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 …
Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
One of the many vampire vs. werewolf movies that have graced the silver screen, New Moon rates among one of the better attempts. It had a good blend of romance, action, and suspense, while not overplaying the supernatural card. The mixture was good, but and it added …
Movie : World of Silence
World of Silence is another suspense/horror/drama film from the land of South Korea. This one is a favorite of mine and I am really glad I watched it. While it wasn’t at all what I was expecting to see, I am glad that it was completely different. …
The man in the iron mask
‘The man in the iron mask’ is an English film directed by Randall Wallace. LeonardoDicaprio is the main actor and he has acted well. This film has run successful and is a good movie to watch. In this film, we go to France. France is ruled by king Louis …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
The best way to describe the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is a good look through Greek traditions in a comical way. Originally, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was a one women play. When Tom Hank’s wife, Nina Wilson saw it, she told her husband how great it …
Cowboys And Aliens movie
Hopefully you have loving friends and/or family members who have already warned you to stay away from this epic abomination, but in case you don’t-or if you are actually an adult considering seeing a movie whose very title screams “AWFUL!” louder than an atomic blast-DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. …
Movie Bruno
This movie was hilarious, definitely a must see! Sacha Baron Cohen from Borat is back as Bruno for yet another epic comedy! Many people are completely against it, but what can you expect with a movie about a homosexual fashion oriented male? Many oppose it just on the basis …
First Blood (1982)
First Blood, directed by Ted Kotcheff is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was October 22, 1982 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Thriller and stars Sylvester Stallone as John J. Rambo, Richard Crenna as Colonel Samuel …
The movie Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies…. oh my goodness. There were so many Air Bud films that it was ridiculous. Now comes this one, yet another air bud movie that is so much like Snow Dogs that its sickening.
This movie is about 5 golden retriever puppies whose curiosity gets them landed in …
District 9 movie
Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …
Movie Collateral
In the movie “Collateral” one can see the actor, Tom Cruise with a strange hair colour and the actor, Mark Ruffalo with gel in his hair and sporting an earring. Apart from these funny facts, “Collateral” had to be a Tom Cruise drama movie; however I felt that the …
Man on Wire movie
There is just no words to sum up how I feel upon watching Man on Wire. It is such a gripping documentary type of movie that tells about this man by the name of Phillippe Petit whom literally walks on wire. He walks between the Two Towers (the …
Danville Stadium Cinemas, Danville Virginia
The Georgia Theatre Company operates many movie theatres in the southern areas of the United States, and Virginia is no exception. The only theater provided in the Danville, VA area is the Danville Stadium Cinemas 12 (although I’m unsure of why the name is plural).
As the Danville Stadium is …
“Meet Joe Black”: The Movie with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt
“Meet Joe Black” classifies as one of the top ten movies Hollywood has produced, in my opinion at least. The movie was loosely based on the black and white film “Death Takes a Holiday.” Brad Pitt played Death, Anthony Hopkins played Bill Parrish, and Claire Forlani played Susan Parrish. …
Iron Giant children’s movie
Hogarth, a small boy, meets a huge, 100-foot robot from the outer space who had crashed in the woods nearby. The robot eats metal, and Hogarth first sees him when he comes to his house searching for “food” and tries to have a bite off the TV antenna. Hogarth …
Silverado movie
Silverado stars Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover. This is the classic cowboy western that was produced after its time and followed the successful formulas of great music, beautiful scenery, and familiar faces in supporting roles.
When the movie first appears on the …
Root of All Evil Documentary
The Root of All Evil documentary was a two part series put on by the BBC over in Britain, based upon the book of the same name by Richard Dawkins, famous evolutionist who is best known for his book, “The Selfish Gene.” He is also one of the …
