The Cat From Outer Space
There were a few Disney gems from the 70s. This was one of them. The thing that made Disney be able to survive the 70s was a slew of charming, live action ventures. Near the top, but not quite there, was this little diddy about…well, about a cat from …
Honey movie starred by Jessica Alba
I recently watched this movie on a DVD player at home. In my opinion I think the movie is quite sexy especially on that part where Jessica Alba was seen dancing on the disco floor in which she was secretly taken a video by some teenage guys while …

Star Trek movie (2009)
I never really watched “Star Trek” when it was a series, because I didn’t understand it, and when I did try to take the time to I realised I wouldn’t understand it since it had been going on for years. Therefore, I didn’t like Star Trek because of those …
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 …
Batman The Dark Knight 2008 Movie
Nowadays, saying the name Batman actually brings up enjoyable memories. Memories of the older movies that I enjoyed and the newer movies that reinvented it. Forgetting about the failures in-between. The Dark Knight was released in 2008 and featured Batman’s worst enemy. The Joker himself. But with all the …
Alpha Dog (R, 2006) movie
Justin Timberlake is of course, the draw for this film. But he’s not really the one who makes the most impact. I liked that he was in it. And for some reason, I felt that it wasn’t too far a stretch from how he really acts …
21 Grams
The movie 21 Grams stars Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio De Toro. It focuses on their three characters and how their lives are interlinked.
Naomi Watts is fantastic as a recovered addict who lost her husband and kids to a car accident and is now struggling with sobriety. …
Stage Door Canteen movie
Stage Door Canteen, a 1943 wartime motion picture, was a real place in New York City. This movie is chalk full of big time stars of the day. Close your eyes for a second and you might miss Judith Anderson, Tallulah Bankhead, Ray Bolger, or any one …
Chain Reaction
I just can’t help it. Whenever I see Keanu Reeves in a movie, regardless of how good it might be, I instantly have flashbacks to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and, no matter how hard I try, I can’t take him seriously.
This was the situation when I sat down …
Chuck and Larry
I just got finished having a movie day with my girlfriends. I must say first off that I was not dissatisfied with any of the movies that we watched. The first movie that we watched was I now pronouce you Chuck and Larry. I love Adam Sandler and this …
Happy Feet Movie
Happy Feet the movie is a great family film designed for the whole family to enjoy, it is about a penguin who just does not seem to fit in. He can dance but he just can’t sing!
The adorable Mumble (voice Elijah Wood) is a fantastic character that children …
Film The Bank Job
The Bank Job is a retread of the tried and tested, ‘caper film with likable London criminals’ formula, in the same vain as the Italian Job, but with more banking, and no Michael Caine.
Now, although it has no new ideas there are good things about this film, not the …

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is a comedy movie starring Woody Allen and Helen Hunt. The movie was directed by Woody Allen. I always liked Woody Allen’s movies and I believe that he is one of the finest directors of Hollywood. He has directed many great movies but …
Fast Five Movie
I watched Fast Five on regular DVD quality. I do have a Blu-ray player, but I never purchase Blu-ray discs. To me, they are a waste of money as they are more expensive and who knows if the quality is any better. The story is basically about the formation …
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
I have always dreamed of going to Spain and when i learned that the factual back-drop of Vicky Cristina Barcelona was Barcelona and Oviedo, i watched it sans hesitation.
The movie started with the two characters Vicky (Regina Hall) and Cristina ( Scarlet Johansson), two young americans who decide …
Quartet (film)
The film is set in an eloquent retirement facility in Britain. The facility is a niche facility since it caters to musicians who are retired. That said the theme of the film evolves around two sub-themes of sorts. One sub-theme is about prior Operatic performers who …
BoogeyMan movie
BoogeyMan is an OK movie. I think the reason so many people watched it and liked it was because we all used to believe in the BoogeyMan at one time in our life. This is what made me think this movie was going to be scary. The preview also made …
What Just Happened film
“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …
Raise Your Voice Movie
Raise Your Voice is not about the voice but about having back your life. Hillary Duff lead the movie as Teri who wants a lot from music but became disappointed with life by blaming herself about her older brother died in a car accident. To have a second chance …
The Bench Warmers the movie
I really enjoy watching the Bench Warmers over and over and over again and when I first watched it I thought it was lame but than I started watching it again and again and again and it got funnier every time I watched it. There were so many funny …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
101 Dalmations
I am reviewing the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations. I am a huge dog lover and so this movie is perfect for me. I also love the whole London scene, even though I’ve never been there. I would like to go someday. This movie is about Pongo and …
Orphan movie
Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

The Ring
There are people who love watching horror movies and there are others who just don’t bother. I’m the latter. I get scared easily so I don’t watch too many horror movies. But my sister insisted that we should watch The Ring because it had alot of good reviews. So …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
Movie Watchmen
Yesterday I watched this movie. First, Iwanna watch this movie because I think it’s kind of great action about superheroes who fight for peace and it will be more and more action like kind of the other superheroes movie. But after I watched it, the movie is dominantly by …
Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …
Over The Hedge
I bought a copy of this movie because the cover catch my attention. I thought that it was not that good since at the start of the film it was more about stealing and being greedy, yet while I was watching it, I became more eager to finish the …
The Shepard Border Patrol
I admit that I haven’t watched a lot of Jean Claude Van Damme’s movies. If I have to see a bunch of men jumping, kicking and screaming, I choose to see it through a comic aspect, so I go for a Jackie Chen movie. I broke my rule for …
Surf’s Up
I brought my little cousin less than 4 years old to watch Surf Up the other night, and she really enjoyed the penguin sightings. She really thought that penguins could sing, talk and dance, and she wanted to go to the zoo to talk to the penguins. …
Sherlock Holmes (Movie)
I had high expectations when I rented Sherlock Holmes on DVD the other day, mainly because of my high regard for Robert Downey Jr.’s amazing acting skills and his recent choice of movies to star in. I also like Guy Ritchie’s movies, so when we sat down to watch …
The Contract movie
This movie was very interesting and exciting. It was a little bit long though but it kept me interested in it. It started off very nicely and went straight into the movie. It was towards the middle and end that I felt it dragged on a little bit. It …
Chef-2014, Drama, Comedy Movie
The main word I can say subsequent to watching this is “Exceptional”. Jon Favreau is only a stickler in each field. He has written this movie, directed it and afterward nailed it as the lead performing artist. Subsequent to Iron Man 1 and 2, he proceeds with his splendid work. …
Miracle in the Rain movie
If you want to see a motion picture about the mystery and magic of love, then Miracle in the Rain is the movie for you. This picture sends tingling chills up my spine, the kind of chills from the enduring legacy of a love that can’t and won’t …
Clash of the Titans Movie
My husband has been waiting for the movie Clash of the Titans to be released. I bought tickets online and we watched it one Saturday afternoon. He told me that it was a remake, but I have never watched the previous one, so really did not know what to expect.
I …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …
Erin Brokovich
I have adored Julia Roberts since Pretty Woman and Sleeping with the Enemy. I had seen Erin Brokovich when I was in my teens and although I enjoyed the movie, I did not really understood it. I had an opportunity to watch it during my own free time and …
The Good Guy
Movie The Good Guy is a wasted effort. With some intelligent and logical plot creations this movie could have made more interesting and above all digestible for the audience. The story of the movie has intensity in its simple looking plot. It is all about relations and move is …
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …
Alien 3
Perhaps the entry into the franchise that divides opinion more than most; Alien 3 legacy is as evolving as the planning stages that originally promised such an elaborate and original tale.
While dreams of a wooden planet, filled with a cast of devout monks and glorious imagery were never …
Disrurbia (2007)
