Movies Reviews
Motherhood Motion Picture
I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …
Men In Black
I am totally fascinated about this movie. That may be because prior to watching, I never had any idea what this was all about. And that turned out to be everything I have never imagined that I would be seeing in this movie. I may …
Gladiator Movie (2000)
Gladiator is a movie that came out in 2000 that stars Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman soldier who is loyal to the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Marcus is murdered by his son Commodus who tries to kill Maximus but he survives and is captured by slavers …
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 …
Lucy Gallant
I adore Lucy Gallant. It’s a film about the Texas oil boom. Jane Wyatt plays the title role of Lucy Gallant, a woman running away from her old love and who ends up stranded right in the middle of oil country. She quickly meets the tall …
Women Are Like That movie
Women Are Like That is a film from 1938 that starred Kay Francis and Pat O’Brien. In spite of O’Brien’s presence, I found this film to be one big boring waste of time. I actually watched it and other movies one day on TCM. They were …
Erin Brokovich Movie
In my opinion, Erin Brokovich is by far the best movie Julia Roberts has ever made. It’s great to see her star in something much more relevant and worthwhile than so many of her other offerings.
It tells the story of (no surprises here), Erin Brokovich, who is a …
Trapped movie
I still think that the movie “Trapped” might have been the best movie I have seen the actor Stewart Townsed star in for quite some time. I personally like the movie not only because the actor Stewart Townsend was in it but because I thought the movie kept me on …
Movie Toy Story
Although its not my favorite Pixar movie, Toy Story is such an important film because it started Pixar’s rise to greatness. Toy Story was made in 1995, but is still a visual treat for the eyes 13 years later. Toy Story is a modern classic that may be …
Florence Foster Jenkins (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
No movies this year has really blew my mind yet. Unlike last year, heavyweights such as Mad Max: Fury Road and Inside Out were already released by this time and they were among the best films released last year. The blockbusters this year continues to underwhelm, and upon checking my …
Armageddon movie
WHen I was still a girl in prep school, I can remember one of the most popular movies of the nineteen nineties was the movie “Armageddon”. I would hear my friends talking about it from time to time talking about which scene was their favourite and how the …
Happy Feet Movie
We found a copy of the Happy Feet movie at a bookstore here and snapped it up. We bought it because we are animation movie fans especially movies made by Pixar. My hubby and I expected this movie to be good. It started out Okay. There was a penguin …
Incredibles,movie
The best CGI movie to-date. What else can be said? This film is a most see for both adults and children. A true family hit. You cannot go wrong renting or buyng it. The Incredibles will is the greatest true action movie to hit the screen. If you haven’t …
Mr. Adam’s Bomb movie short
Mr. Adam’s Bomb from 1949 was a really weird film that catered to an offbeat story line that frankly bored me and barely had a comprehendible plot. It opens in an entertaining way, with a man named Johnson doing the jitterbug with the maid. It is probably …
Movie: The Girl Next Door
I liked “The Girl Next Door” the first time I watched it, but I really enjoyed it more the second time around. I liked it so much, I actually bought it on DVD! I got a good deal, so even though I don’t feel the need to …
Robinhood Movie (2010)
I never knew Russell Crowe could emulate or do a better job than Gladiator, and the 2 movies are equally famous for it’s story and the actors and actresses involved. Russell Crowe as Robinhood was quite old, and I had first thought all the characters were too old for …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …
Dead End movie
This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …
Ghost Ship Movie
Ghost Ship is a horror movie that I really love, even though the movie itself isn’t really that scary. The first time I saw it was when it was playing in the theater, and I’ve had the chance to see it a few more times since then. Every time …
Sixteen Candles (1984 Film)
Who cannot love a young Molly Ringwald as a fashion forward teenager who is trying to survive high school? I know that I can’t, and that is why it’s hard to not absolutely love the 1984 film “Sixteen Candles”. Not only is this movie funny, but it really does …
Imithaan movie
This is an Indian movie in Hindi. It stars Saif Ali Khan, Raveena Tandon, and Sunny Deol. It is about a woman who marries after the tragic loss of her first husband but does not tell her second about the first. Then all the misunderstandings and mysteries begin.
This …
The Mummy film
I don’t know why I thought this, but I could have sworn the 1932 movie The Mummy was a horror film. I mean, it is advertised that way and stars Boris Karloff.
However, I tried to watch this movie yesterday with my daughter (she likes horror films but I try …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …
Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
G.I. Jane (1997)
G.I. Jane, directed by Ridley Scott is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was August 22, 1997 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama and stars Demi Moore as Jordan O’Neill, Viggo Mortensen as Master Chief John …
Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …
Blue Collar Comedy Tour
I am reviewing the video, Blue Collar Comedy Tour. This video captures the on stage/off stage moments of comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy. Throughout this tour, you’ll hear several of Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck…”, and Engvall’s “Here’s your sign.” …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
She’s The Man (2006)
I always love the movie about a woman who disquises as a man with a special purpose and this movie really gives me what I expect.
It is about Viola, a girl who wants to prove to her boyfriend that woman can beat man in football game and that’s why, …
The World’s End 2013 Movie
Every month there’s a movie release offering at least a couple of stories where human civilization is threatened by a dark force that is ultimately neutralized with more or less physical or intellectual effort.
In “The World’s End” it is the British actor Simon Pegg’s turn to save the planet. …
Ghost Busters movie
My wife and I have been spending a great deal of time watching the show Ghost Hunters. So, as a change of pace, I decided to watch what I like to refer to as the original Ghost Hunters; the movie Ghost Busters.
This film, though a bit dated, is still …
War of The Worlds, DVD
You’ve got a movie where the plot is, aliens hatch out of the earth and proceed to try and wipe out the human race in huge squid-like machines that shoot lazers, counter that with the main character having to overcome obstacles like where to hide himself and his …
Paul movie
British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …
The Ultimate Gift Movie Starring Jason Fuller
Recently, my interest in horror movies has weaned a bit and I have had a shift towards inspirational movies that have a financial quest inclination to them, with the most recent delight being a movie called ‘The Ultimate Gift’, starring Drew Fuller.
From the very first moment I was completely …
Axe (Movie)
The movie catches the common viewer’s attention rather quickly. I’m someone who has a hard time getting into movies which don’t take off quickly.. and this movie is a classic example of the complete opposite.
PLOT
The movie more-or-less has 2 plots, these include entirely seperate events, but eventually unfold and …
Kissin’ Cousins movie
I adore Elvis Presley and always have, but at the same time, I’ve felt sorry for him. That probably sounds crazy, but he was too loyal for his own good. It was his loyalty to the infamous Colonel Parker, his so-called manager, that resulted in Elvis starring …
Elysium movie
A couple of months ago I watched a trailer of the movie Elysium. My first expressions were «WOW. That is a must-watch movie». It was full of superb special effects, action and some new idea.
And then, the movie came out in the cinemas. I went to the good theatre, …
The Foresaken Movie
The Foresaken is one of the many horror movies that were rushed into production following the success of Scream. The makers grabbed a handful of attractive actors, and slapped together a movie without giving it a lot of though.
On the surface this is a typical teen vampire movie, …
The Patriot
I had hear do the movie The Patriot for a long time, but I never got a chance to watch it until years after since I did not see it being aired on cable televsion as well as I had the impression by the title of the movie that …
A Rather English Marriage Movie
Two very different men meet at the hospital where they come regularly to attend their dying wives. Reggie (Albert Finney) is a former pilot, a World War II squadron leader; he is not very attached to his wife whom he only needed to cook and clean for him since …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s baaaaack! Tim Burton’s classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is back, better than ever- and now in 3-D!
I am a huge fan of Jack “The Pumpkin King” Skellington and the gang- and since the Disney hit was released first in 1993, then re-released out of the vault …
Children of a Lesser God
“Children of a Lesser God” is a great, touching movie with dramatic and romantic moments mixed up together in a very emotional script. One of the assets of this movie is that it has two main great actors William Hurt and Marlee Martin. This movie was nominated …
Delightfully Dangerous movie
Delightfully Dangerous from 1945 starred a teenaged Jane Powell as Sherry Williams. This is actually the first time I’ve seen her as a teenager and a brunette to boot. I enjoyed her performance, though. She was gay and pretty and gullible, as many girls of the …
Shrek
The way people were hyping the movie made me very excited to see it. I was ready for a movie with wall to wall laughs, and a great story, like a Finding Nemo. What I got was a few laughs and a lackluster story, in my opinion. …
Return to Frogtown Movie
This is an interesting movie. The sequel to Hell Comes to Frogtown, starring Roddy Piper, this movie takes place a few years later. Sam Hell is no longer Roddy Piper, but is some other guy with an enormously freakish face, and he is now a member of …
Clash of the Titans Movie
Released in 1981 (interestingly enough, the year of my birth), and directed by Desmond Davis, this movie is based on the Greek myth of Perseus. The character of Perseus is played by Harry Hamlin. The character of Zeus, king of the gods of Mt. Olympus, is played …

Bedtime Stories movie
I just watched the movie Bedtime Stories with my boyfriend. This movie was such a great funny family movie. This movie had Adam Sandler in it, which made it very watchable. It was about a janitor named Skeeter that could not move up in …
