Just My Luck movie
I was given free tickets to a premier showing of “Just My Luck,” starring Lindsey Lohann, so a male friend of mine and I went to see it. Every teenage girl within a 30-mile radius seemed to be at this premier. Some of them even managed to drag …
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
One of the first movies I loaded on my Netflix player when I bought it was the film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I didn’t think I would like it but it sounded like it would be different and I figured it would eventually be worth a try.
We ended up …
Step Up 2: The Streets
Although it is the sequel of “Step Up”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” offers a different type of movie from the original version. I expected the story to be based again, like in the original movie, at the Maryland School of Arts, however the action takes place else where …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …
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. …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
It is very difficult for a sequel to make the audience feel the same excitement as the first movie, and this sequel didn’t quite live up to that… However, it didn’t fail either. The second Transformers movie did a bad job, and a good job of giving us …
The X-Files
“The X-Files” was one of the most popular American television shows which was aired on television in the1990s. I do not know one person from my peer group who lived in the West and did not know about the television show. I can even remember that it used …
Timeline (2003)
This is yet another reason why I continue to say that Paul Walker is not a very good actor, it is either that fact or his agents are always find him the most idiotic movies to star in, no wait, that’s not it, because he stars in some really …
Bubba Hotep movie
This is definitely one of my favorite movies. Although I’ve seen my share of horror movies in my lifetime, I am not exactly a big fan of the genre. That said, Bubba Hotep is a great movie, and one that any horror or comedy fan should see.
The …
Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Nell movie
Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …
Movie Public Enemies
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and also love historically-based movies. I looked forward to seeing Public Enemies, a movie starring Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard (another of my favourite actresses), because I had read a lot about John Dillinger, the famous bank robber during the Depression years. …
Groundhog Day (1993 movie)
Bill Murray stars as a weatherman with a nasty temperment…he’s miserable and grumpy. Having to go to a small town to give a weather report on weather it will continue to snow or not, based on the shadow of Phil the Groundhog, he finds this the worst day of …
Anthony Kaun Hai (movie) August, 2006
The movie Anthony Kaun Hai released on 4th of August, 2006. The meaning if the title of the film is Who Is Anthony in English. The movie has been directed by Raj Kaushal. It is a pretty stupid and complicating film. The lead actors of the film are Sanjay …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 27
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 27 is a recap episode, showing viewers what’s happened so far in the story without giving away anything about what’s going to happen. Please keep in mind, there are lots of spoilers in this episode so I’d recommend not seeing it if you haven’t …
Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
Signs (movie)
The director of this movie, M. Night Shyamalan, first gained critical acclaim with his psychological thriller with The Sixth Sense. While I agree that was a very good movie, I believe Signs to be the stronger of the two. This movie would probably go on my top …
Fear and Desire movie
Fear and Desire is one of Stanley Kubrick’s first full feature films, and it tells an anti-war story about an american squadron during World War II getting involved in the most horrific events. The film shows the absolutely darkest side of a war situation and does it without maing …
Inception movie
Oh. My. God. If only I could write this review in caps, I would have wholeheartedly done so just to stress how freaking amazing this movie is.
From someone who watched the likes of Rashomon to My Favorite Martian on a daily rotating basis, I sadly found myself living …
Godzilla: Final Wars
Godzilla: Final Wars is a Godzilla movie that is quite different in style compared to previous installments in the series. The movie seems to try and emulate popular Hollywood movies like the Matrix while taking a page out of a previous entry in the series, namely the movie Destroy …

This movie that I’ve watched before, The Notebook is really bittersweet and if you are thinking of watching it on DVD, make sure that you have your tissues standby for it’s a real sad story and bittersweet, as I’ve mentioned.
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are the off screen …
A Perfect Getaway
My husband and I watched A Perfect Getaway the other night. I thought it was going to be a nice little B-movie. I wasn’t expecting too much from this movie. Good thing or I would have been really disappointed! …
Reign Over Me
I decided to watch Reign Over Me because there are Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle and Liv Tyler in this movie. I am curious to see “again” how Adam plays a serious role also, love to see Liv Tyler and Don Cheadle act again in a movie. I really miss …
Autumn movie 2009
rented Autumn on a whim, thinking because there was a small role for David Carradine it might have some value. If this was his last movie, I truly feel sorry for him and his legacy. It started out with the extremely overdone and predictable premise of …
Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …
Jay and Silent Bob Strike back (2001)
The main topic of this movie is that jay and Silent Bob are on their way to either do one of two things. But before I go there, here is the situation that the need to address their images have been made into a movie without their consent and …
The Labyrinth with David Bowie
This is truly one of the greatest and most memorable movies of all time. It has David Bowie and the muppets ! Well, puppets anyway. If that sounds like a turn off to you look it up on YouTube; you seriously have no idea how wonderful this movie is …
Homeward Bound 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …

Inglourious Basterds (2009)
As a fan of alternate history stories, my interest was definitely piqued when I saw the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick, Inglourious Basterds. It is a movie about a group of American soldiers, comprised mainly of Jewish-Americans, that goes off to Nazi-occupied France during World War II and …

Dead Like Me: Ghost Story
One of the things I like the best about Dead Like Me: Ghost Story is the couple who wants to buy the Lass house. I really like them, especially the husband. He seems to have a unique ability to talk to Reggie, who opens up to him …
Congo movie (1995)
Killer Gorillas. No such thing, right? Maybe. Maybe not. For years, there have been stories of ancient civilizations that are long gone from this world, that used to use animals as guards for their massive treasures. Whether or not they were …
Rocky Balboa
I would have to say that I love all Sylvester Stallone movies. Although I didn’t like this one as much as the other ones at one part of the movie my view was completely changed and grasped. What I love about this movie is it is soooo inspirational. Anytime …
Stuart Little
For those of us who love a great family movie which now is onl dvd, then you must watch Stuart Little. Michael J. Fox portrays the voice of Stuart Little and it is so cute you just fall in love with this family,mother played by Gena Davis, …
San Andreas - Movie (2015)
I watched San Andreas in IMAX 3D. I’m glad I made that decision because I was able to fully appreciate the visuals. The movie is a natural disaster movie and seeing it in IMAX 3D made it incredibly real. This movie isn’t only about earthquakes as many people might feel …
UHF, movie (1989)
For over 30 years, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been the biggest name of musical parody. No one was spared from his biting musical barbs, be it Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, or Coolio. His venture into feature film was brief due to box office disappointment for UHF. …
Carlito’s Way movie
Clearly intended as an indirect sequel to Scarface, Brian De Palma’s Carlito’s Way shows Al Pacino as the old drug dealer Carlito Brigante who gets out of prison and wants to start an honest life. But he is deceived and drawn into criminality again by his friend and lawyer …

How to lose a guy in 10 days

Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …
Ratatouille film
Ratatouille is an instant classic computer-animated film by Pixar and Walt Disney Pictures. It tells the story of a rat living in Paris who dreams of becoming a chef. This movie delivers the full package; a great plot, amazing animation, humor, and a heart warming moral.
The animation …
Street Kings Movie
I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …
Odd Girl Out movie
I had often wondered what happened to the actress Alex Vega after the Spy Kids trilogy, as it seemed that she had just disappeared for a while. However, last night when watching the Lifetime television station, I saw her in a movie called “Odd Girl Out”. It was that …
Orgazmo
I am reviewing the little known movie, Orgazmo, which was released in 1998. Co-creator of South Park Trey Parker directs, writes, stars in, and even sings the theme song to this movie. He plays an innocent mormon who is offered a job as the role of Orgazmo, a …

Inside Out (R, 2005) movie
