Hide And Seek
Hide And Seek was shown on my local TV channel and if it’s acting by Robert De Niro, I always make it a point to watch. This movie also sees the little kid, Dakota Fanning (think she had acted with Tom Cruise as well), I give this story 10 …

The Cobbler, Movie
The Cobbler is a very different kind of movie to the ones normally associated with its star, Adam Sandler. He’s had movies, such as Reign Over Me, that have really demonstrated his ability to tackle serious subject matter and deliver moving performances. Whilst I am a fan of some of …

Persona movie
Regarded by many as Ingmar Bergman’s best film and also one of the best “art” films ever made. It is a complex film about dimensions, simply put, where two women is the center of Bergman’s focus. Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson portrait two very different women, one of them …
Friday the 13th Uncut (1980), slasher film
Friday the 13th was not the first slasher movie, but it does get credit for a few things. The biggest seller point to Friday the 13th is the fact we never saw anything like this, at the time. To this day Friday the 13th has been able to stand …

Bah Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas
I have seen various forms of the old Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol. And, many of those movies and television specials have been in animated form with familiar characters.
So, I wasn’t expecting much when we were watching the movie Bah Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas. It turns out it …
X-Files, I want to Believe
When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …
The Brothers Bloom movie
The Brothers Bloom is a story of a con gone wrong. Or in other words, a con of love. Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody star in this movie, alongside the beautiful Rachel Weisz. I always find her very beautiful and admire her beauty very much.
In this …
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen A&E
I believe the best movie version of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice is by A&E. I’ve read the book, and the A&E version holds very close to Austin’s work. I hate when movie directors and film writers believe they have to make the classic their own, by making …
Joshua (R, 2007) movie
The cover of this DVD would have one believe that the little boy depicted is somehow possessed with some kind of evil. You might even think there is some supernatural twist to the plot. But if you thought either of these things, you would probably be wrong. …

Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.
“Georgia Rule” deals …
Movie Quarantine
Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)
It was believed to be good, a first person story seen through the lenses of a camera; it proved otherwise. Remakes, as usual, often do not measure up to the …

Then She Found Me (starring Helen Hunt)
Then She Found Me stars Helen Hunt and it’s not that bad a movie. I believe that most women can relate to watching this story about how worrying their biological clock ticking tends to be and at the same time, not wanting a baby yet. Bu everything starts …
Movie License to Wed
Although some may label this movie as a Mandy Moore movie; in reality this comedy is all about the actor, Robin Williams. I personally have a soft spot for Robin Williams because he is simply great in whatever he interprets. In this movie, we see him to interpret the …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …
Richard Attenborough’s Chaplin (movie)
After watching a couple interviews with the actor Robert Downey Jr, I became interested in him as a person and as an actor. However, it occurred to me almost at that moment that I really don’t know much about him and haven’t watched many of his movies. Therefore, I …
Cars movie
I finally got around to watching Cars on DVD this past weekend and I’m glad to say, I didn’t waste my money seeing it at the theater.
Cars is a good movie and one that the entire family could enjoy, especially if you’re a bunch of race fanatics. How ever, …
2010 Movie
This movie was anticipated by all, and at first I honestly wasn’t excited about all the hype as movies are all talk nowadays until you actually get to see them on the big screen. This movie ran at 158 minutes and when I was watching it I didn’t feel …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
The Mangler
I like Ted Levine and Robert Englund and thought maybe they could have made a film based on a Stephen King short story halfway interesting. But, even though they do a decent job acting in the movie “The Mangler” there is just too much they can’t make up for.
Let’s …
Bobby movie
The movie “Bobby” is obviously one of the most star-studded movies of all time, but it isn’t that the stars are famous, it’s that they are good actors. From long-time favorites like Anthony Hopkins and Lawrence Fishburn to knew favorites like Lindsay Lohan, Shia Labeof, and …
Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning Movie
A kind of parody that makes fun of science fiction series, Star Trek in front of all. About a Captain named Pirk who travels back in time the save the human kind. The people he meets find him difficult to believe in and obviously thinks he is come kind …
I Am Number Four - Teen Psi-fi Movie
I took my 11 year old son to see “I Am Number Four” on the weekend, not expecting too much; and was surprised by this movie. It is your typical teen movie featuring a boy-likes-girl scenario, social issues and some type of major obstacle to over come. …
Foul Play movie
I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …
Do Not Disturb movie
Doris Day stars with Rod Taylor in Do Not Disturb. It’s not a big favorite of mine, and it’s not as fun or entertaining as her movies with Rock Hudson and James Garner were. While Taylor’s other outing with Day, The Glass Bottom Boat, was a winner …
Kate and Leopold Movie
This movie came out in 2001 but I just saw it like last week. My boyfriend was sitting at his computer and suggested that we watch this movie since he saw it a while back and really liked it. So we signed on to his Netflix on his Playstation …

Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …

30 Days of Night Movie
Yesterday, I bought the movie ‘30 Days of Night’. I had wanted to see it since it came out in the theaters but hadn’t because I wasn’t sure it’d be worth it. So I decided I’d wait until it was out on DVD and buy it.
I like Josh Harnett. …
Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street
I just finished watching this movie at home and I wasn’t quite happy with the flow of the story or plot. Although the lead character Johnny Depp did a fantastic job as the barber who turned out to be a serial killer in Fleet street. The story …

Movie The Vengeance of the Mummy (1973)
A totally demented Paul Naschy film that, to my knowledge, was the last of the shambling, old school style mummy movies featuring a rampaging, bandaged monster.
Paul plays the role of the Mummy as well as the Mummy’s evil assistant and he does so to the hilt. A very violent …
Cold Mountain (2003)
This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Thor the movie
The movie Thor was a very interesting movie. The characters were well thought out. Something surprising about this movie was that it was very funny and not too dramatic. My favorite character was the scientist’s assistant Darcy, she had a good sense of humor and kept things light when …

Horton Hears a Who
Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.
I had expected the movie, which is about an elephant who discovers and protects …
