Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
Streetdance Movie 3D (2010)
I haved loved past street dance movies like You Got Served and Stomp the Yard, so when I saw this particular one showing in the movies already, I decided to watch it. The movie itself is called Street Dance 3D but here there wasn’t a movie house that played …
Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Dady’s Little Girls
Daddy’s little girls is one of Tyler Perry’s heartwarming movies, about a loving father who is doing all he can for his three little girls. My husband and i watched it together on the couch. I think he cried as much as i did.
Monty (Idris Elba) went to see …
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs the Movie
So I’m sure many of you have either read the book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” either in your own time, or to your children. I myself, being only a recent “adult” can quite easily and fondly remember the days of curling up next to mom and …
Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set
Like its predecessor from the year before, the Columbo Mystery Movie Collection 1990 DVD set has a DVD layout that I really despise because of the inconvenience involved in selecting a DVD to watch and also the potential for harm to come to the DVDs.
What Universal has done with …
Wrong Turn 2
I’m going to open this review with a plea to Hollywood. The next time you make a horror film, please make an effort to scare me. Don’t cut corners and produce a film that goes out of its way to show as much blood and gore as possible. That’s …
Chak De India
Chak De India, a Hindi movie starring Shah Rukh Khan is about Indian Women’s Hockey Team based on the real life story of Mr. Negi an Indian Hockey player and coach. It was released last month in India. Before I went to see the movie I had few …
Aronofsky’s Black Swan (2010 film)
With all the campaigns on the internet and coverage from the press, it was impossible to escape the urge to watch the film. It’s awards season and anyone ignorant not to know what “Black Swan” is must be living in a different planet. I didn’t think this …

Full Moon in Paris movie
Eric Rohmer was one of the french new wave filmmakers back in the sixties, actually one of the most important ones, and he also kept making quality films long afterwards, even if I think his latest films haven’t been very interesting. Full Moon in Paris is about a woman …
Annabelle (2014 Film)
I was prompted to watch Annabelle, after watching the conjuring and seeing the brief glimpses of the character in the movie, I was instantly interested.
When going in to watch this movie, I already had my ideas and expectations pretty much set. As with any horror movie, I was going in …
Movie District 9
The one word I can use to describe District 9 is terrible. Granted, I am not a science fiction fan, and I generally won’t even watch any movie that involves aliens, space ships, or inter-planetary travel at all. My husband brought two DVDs home, and I popped it in …
Minstrel Man movie
Minstrel Man from 1944 really transports a person back to another generation when black face was the rage. It’s hard to believe that era existed, but it did, and many found it to be highly entertaining.
The movie stars Benny Fields as an entertainer named Dixie Boy Johnson. …
SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3 D
It’s been a long while since I truly enjoyed a 3D movie! Most of them are gory and that is not what I enjoy. I have been watching and watching, again, a 3D movie that is really fun to watch and totally with a “G” rating. My grandsons are …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
Beauty and the Beast
Without the shade of a doubt, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ is by far my favourite story. The first time I read it, it left me in tears and I have a habit of coming back to it times and times again. I find it equally touching every time. There …
Girl Next Door (R, 2007) movie
I watched “American Crime” a film featuring Catherine Keener as Gertrude Banieszewski. This film was based on the horribly true story of Sylvia Likens. She was a 16 year old girl who was tortured and beaten to death in the 1960s. This film is …
“Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox” movie
I have been enjoying the DC Animated movies. Granted, there are still a few that I need to see, but I’ve enjoyed a vast majority of them quite a bit. I hadn’t read the comic story that this entry was based on, and while I wouldn’t say …
Eagle Eye
I’m usually not a big fan of movies that play the whole 1984 card and focus on “Big Brother.” And, I’ll be the first to admit the idea of a computer independently controlling people’s lives is something out of the 80s (think the movie War Games)and still a bit …
Point Break (1991)
Point Break, directed by Kathryn Bigelow is rated R bythe Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 12, 1991 for United States audience.

Tropic Thunder
I watched Tropic Thunder the first day that it was released and it was such an enjoyable, funny and out of this world hilarious type of movie. Ben Stiller rocks! as a Director and I give him two thumbs up, without thinking for a second.
Call me biased or what, …
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Gil Gerad returns! Yes, after 25 years since the original series went off the air it survived as a huge hit in syndication and on its Sci Fi Channel run. This was a classic adventure series will cool, campy overtones in the first season and then it …
Dead Snow Movie

Have you ever suffered from knowing your mother language? Silvia Broome (Kidman), a translator working at the U.N. headquarters, witnesses a conspiracy in the language of the small African country where she was born. And, as luck would have it, she understands everything.
A federal agent, Tobin Keller (Penn), is …
Valentine’s Day movie
The movie Valentine’s Day is named perfectly and this movie truly qualifies as a romantic comedy in true sense. It has been a while that I have seen such a multi starrer movie. In my opinion the star casting of this movie is working mostly to its advantage. But …
Munich: Movie
I found Munich to be a very interesting and well-made Movie, though partly down to my political interests.
It is truly an intriguing story, based on true events, for anyone with an interest in politics, war and undercover assignments.
The opening scenes of the Munich shootings at the 1972 Olympics are …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
The Incredible Hulk (2008) is an action film by Louis Leterrier and is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence, some frightening sci-fi images, and brief suggestive content.
The Incredible Hulk picks up with Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) living in Brazil where he’s ran to hide out from General …
Saw
Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …
Brother Bear
This is one of my favorite animated movies. I love to watch this movie with my younger sister. It’s a great movie for the whole family and enjoyable to watch. It kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. There were plenty of parts that made me really …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.
David Copperfield (Daniel Radcliffe) is born 6 …
Apartment 1303
I am a fan of Asian horror movies. I purchased this DVD movie “Apartment 1303″, a Japanese horror, because I was attracted to its title and also the cover. The cover is pictured with one creepy red eye on the right side, and a door numbered 1303 on the …
The Happening movie
I am a huge fan of M, Knight Shyamalan movies, and there’s never been a one that I didn’t like for one reason or another. Even if I didn’t like the whole movie, there were at least parts of the creative process I could appreciate. In The Happening, his …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
While I thought the first Cheaper by the Dozen movie was lame, I did not think that a sequel to it could possibly be just plain silly and a waste of money that could have been put to proper use elsewhere. This time the movie was not just lame, …
Farewell to Harry movie
From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …
Stepford Wives
I have seen almost all the movies of Nicole Kidman because she’s one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. So I was really excited to see Stepford Wives because aside from her, Bette Midler is also in the movie. Based on a book by Ira Levin and a remake of …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
Netflix Movie Rental
I recently tried a free trial of Netflix. I really enjoyed it for the trial period, so I decided to stick with it. I am a college student, and being the movie enthusiast I am, I needed to find an inexpensive way to satisfy my movie watching fix. Netflix …
Under the Cherry Moon
Prince is one of the most multi-talented performers in the world. Acting, however, is not one of his strongest points. However, as Hollywood history proves, an actor doesn’t particularly have to be all that talented, if audiences like him.
“Under the Cherry Moon” was supposed to be a …
The Call (Movie 2013)
As a fan of Halle Berry, I tend to tune into most everything she is featured in. When seeing the preview trailers for The Call, I was excited and dead set on seeing it. The previews were intriguing, but in a simple kind of way.
The Call isn’t meant …
Coming to America Movie
This will be my classic and all-time favorite Eddie Murphy movie! This features Eddie Murphy as the prince of a very small country and his father, James Earl Jones, wants him to marry a princess which he doesn’t love nor nearly like. Wanting to have some freedom of his …
Netflicks
While I do think that Netflicks is onto something with the art of doing dvd renting via the mail, I also think that in order for someone to really take advantage of the service completely, you have to sign up for their most expensive program offer. Of course, …
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 …
Spiderwick chronicles
My sister has wanted to watch the Spiderwick Chronicles now for a long time. So I bought it for her on her last birthday. She was extremely excited when she got it and she watched it that night. I think she must have watched it for about 5 …
Lost Angel movie
At the tender age of six, Margaret O’Brien had top starring billing in 1943’s Lost Angel, a story about a girl dispassionately named Alpha who is raised by a group of scientists without the frills of fun and fairytales. After she’s questioned by a reporter who tells her …
Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
Get ready for the thrill ride from this feature length movie starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam soldier. As the movie would have it, there are multiple sides to this chilling story that you need to pay close attention to, one side of the story is that …
Major League
Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …
Movie: Rudy
Synopsis: A young man decides to go to Notre Dame and spends three years on the team’s practice squad hoping he will eventually be allowed to dress for one of the games.
What I like about this movie: This is a film that can be inspiring in a way. You …
Hatchet
When I read the description of the 2006 movie Hatchet, I figured it was going to be a low-budget film that relied heavily on blood and gore and not much on actual plot. Sadly, I was correct.
While the movie did have flashes of potential, it turned out to be …
Rush Hour 3
Rush Hour 3 was everything I had hoped for after seeing Rush Hour 1 & 2. The second sequel was filled with action and humor, and follows a plot that will keep one interested the whole way through.
The movie focuses on the reserved Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan), who is …
