Hunger Games - Catching Fire, movie
I am an avid reader and I love to go to movies of books that I have read. I have a really bad habit of saying “they got it wrong” throughout the entire movie. My husband is not a reader and goes to these movies with a different point …
Movie The Strangers
I love thriller, horror and drama movies but for the life of me I cannot classify this movie. I had a problem with the first scene. When the movie started Kristen, the main female character, was crying but I never really understood why she was crying. I had to …
Caffeine (NR, 88) movie
I saw that Mena Suvari (of American Beauty) and Breckin Meyer were in this offbeat comedy. I thought it would be more about a diner with quirky characters. But it’s actually about a trendy looking café in London with quirky characters. The story itself …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …
A Christmas Story
When I first saw A Christmas Story a few years ago, I thought it was a great film. Now, after every television station has managed to show it at least a dozen times, I’m a bit burned out on it.
Overall, this is a unique holiday film in the sense …
Pacific Heights
Lately I have been watching movies on lifetime and lifetime movie network and most of them have been pretty good. One that I want to recommend is called Pacific Heights. It has Melanie Griffith and Micheal Keaton in it. It’s about a guy who rents a room from this …
The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)
The Santa Clause was a great film that I loved as a child and as an adult. And the sequal to this family friendly film titled, “The Santa Clause 2” which came out in 2002 was also just as mesmerizing. In this film, we watch as Santa Clause (Scott …
Igor movie
I rented the movie Igor through Netflix this weekend and, when I did, I really didn’t know what to expect from it. I had seen some previews but they didn’t reveal enough of the movie to let me know if it was something I was going to like or …
Pirates of the carebean
You’ll be hearing sounds often in this film. The action is packed into nearly every partof this movie. Remember the sword fight between Depp and Bloom early in the first film. I found that to be the highlight of the fight scenes.You think I?m exaggerating? Not even close. Just …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie (2010)
I had always liked Nicolas Cage, in fact, he has always been my #1 favorite actor of all times and he still is right now, but when I saw the trailer for this movie I had let out a scoff and a giggle, I never thought he would go …
Count Duckula cartoon
“Count Duckula” was one of my favourite cartoons as a child. I loved everything about it, from the theme song to the drawings and the plot. However, the only thing I disliked was the fact that I would rarely see it on local television. In fact, of the few …
The Glass Menagerie movie
WHen I was in high school I used to hear some adults as well as English teachers talking about the time when the book “The Glass Menagerie” used to be a literature book which students had to read in order to pass one of their exams. Out of curiosity, …
The Bourne Supremacy
There’s rarely a sequel to a Hollywood blockbuster that lives up the original in any way. I have to agree with this when it comes to the second installment of the Jason Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy. Though it’s still good, I can’t say that it holds a candle …
Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
Catch Me If You Can movie
This movie is about how a boy learns from his father how to become a criminal and how not to get caught.
As the boy grows into manhood, he becomes a doctor, a pilot, and a lawyer without ever attending a day of schooling. He defrauds the government out …
BlockBuster Total Access
After growing tired of paying for satellite tv and renting movies that I had to spend more time returning than I did watching, I decided to try the service. I get 3 movies at a time, unlimited rentals, free postage paid return envelopes and an easy to use …
For Those Who Think Young movie
Movies in the early to mid-sixties often dealt with one thing; well, maybe two — the beach and young love. That’s exactly what 1964’s For Those Who Think Young is about. It stars James Darren and Pamela Tiffin. Darren plays Gardner ‘Ding’ Pruitt III. He’s …
Movie Benny and Joon
Johnny Depp plays the roll of Sam, an accentric young man who falls in love with Joon, played by Mary Stuart Masterson, a young woman who lost touch with reality after her parents died. The movie is a clean, fun and enjoyable film to watch. A feel good story …
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is the second movie of the Narnia series. It is a fantasy movie which mostly attracts the kids and teenagers and even a lot of adults since the movie has many genres. The movie has comedy, romance, hatred, war, revenge, and talking animals. …
Troops movie
A parody of both Star Wars and Cops. On the desert planet of Tatooine, a team of stormtroopers is having a tough time keeping up law and order. It doesn’t sound like a great idea and it certainly doesn’t look like it either. Parodies tend to exaggerate too much …
Movie Control (2007)
Control (2007)is a true rendition on the live of the late singer, Ian Curtis from Joy Division. He was a singer and his tale was told in this black and white movie. I’ve always wondered what it’s like for singers and the likes to suffer from depression …
Movie Tavern
This is by far, hands-down, beyond a shadow of a doubt THE worst movie theater I have ever been to in my life, and I have been to a few pretty bad ones. I have never had a movie experience so ruined as I did the night I attended …
Three Kings movie
“Three Kings” movie has a brilliant story woven between tension, terror, emotions and drama. This movie represents George Clooney in his early stages of his carrier on the big screen and definitely a very promising start. This is the first out of two movies were Clooney and the actor, …
The Pink Panther 2
This movie begins with sequences of various international treasures being stolen by a thief leaving behind cards naming himself “The Tornado”. The Shroud of Turin, Japan’s Imperial Sword, Britain’s Magna Carter, and France’s treasured Pink Panther diamond are among the casualties. Inspector Jacques Clouseau is asked to …
Those Who Hunt Elves
Those Who Hunt Elves is quite a funny anime that I have begun to watch a few days ago. The most attractive quality of this show is its humor which happens to come from how random it is. A sorceress elf named Celica tries to vanish an …
Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …
Twilight Movie
“Twilight” is a movie adapted from a famous novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. I was recommended this movie by my sister and so I rented it’s DVD from a local DVD store to watch it on Sunday. I did not have high expectations from the movie.
Twilight is a romantic …
What Happens in Vegas
Reading the description of What Happens in Vegas, you would assume it is like many other romantic comedies that have come out over the years, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or the more dramatic The Breakup. But, after watching it last night, I have to …
Running Scared
I don’t really like the movie, Running Scared. It is too much filled with violence and certainly not suitable for kids to watch at all.
The movie is about the character Paul Walker (and he’s looking really handsome in this movie) trying to race with time to get …
Superman the Third
Certain elements seem to indicate when a movie franchise has lost its steam and either needs to be retired, or re-evaluated. Unfortunately, with the Superman movie franchise, these elements were ignored until it was too late. Superman III clearly marked these elements. The stars were tired, their performances forced …
Volver movie
I love foreign films. I especially love foreign language films with subtitles. Weird, I know, but I love the feel of them and the sense that you are truly experiencing another culture through film. So, when I started watching Volver I had very high hopes. It’s obvious from the …
House Bunny
I’m not usually a fan of these comedy/blonde movies…I usually assume they lack substance and are predictable. When I watched House Bunny however, even though it was somewhat predictable, I couldnt help but be entertained.
The movie was basically about a Playboy model who thought she was expelled by …
Movie: The Untouchables
Synopsis: Kevin Costner stars as Elliott Ness, the treasury agent who formed a group of crime fighters to bring down criminal Al Capone. The movie covers the formation of his Untouchables group through Capone’s conviction for tax evasion.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not a huge Kevin Costner …
Virgin Territory
The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …
Blockbuster Online
Can I start by saying “Waste of money.”
I can sum up the review in that one sentence, but let me be more specific.
For several months I was subscribed to Blockbuster online and can tell you that it was a terrible service.
Here’s why:
Out of Order. I am a devoted movie …
Movie Chaos
“Chaos” can be best described as a gripping thriller where one has no hint how the story is going to end. Full of interesting twists and action, this movie is worth watching not only once but even twice.
I believe that the best assets of the movie “Chaos” are the …
Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Better Off Dead
I was looking high and low for the DVD movie for, Better Off Dead acted by John Cusack.
That’s because I heard rave reviews coming from my friend and even my neurotic boyfriend loves it too. And at last I found it. The movie is fantastic and …
Nothing DVD
Nothing may sound like nothing, but the Nothing DVD is full of everything. It’s a well packaged DVD with a couple of extras to make buying the product worthwhile.
The movie Nothing stars David Hewlett, known best for Stargate Atlantis. It also stars Andrew Miller. The two …
George of the Jungle (1997)
The best way to eve try and explain this movie is to compare it with Tarzan and then give it an over all switch in the level of deepness in the character, toss in a heap of comedy and you have yourself a movie that has been remade into …
Joshua Movie
Joshua, filmed in 2002, gives a rather non-traditional account of a (possible) second coming of Christ. A friendly and mysterious stranger comes to a small town and rents a barn to live and work in. Nobody knows who he is or where he is from, only that his name …
Mulberry Street, horror film
We’ve all seen millions of zombie movies. Zombie movies are flooding the horror genre. Either original ones come out or terrible remakes. The director Jim Mickle went with a different approach with his plague movie. Instead of zombies taking over a city we have disease carrying rats!
Former boxer …
Proof, John Madden Movie
Robert, a math professor this recently died. This was to make Catherine feel important, because he is the father manage. Claire also appears, Sister Catherine came to attend the funeral their father, but other than that Claire is planning to invite Catherine moved to New York to live with …
No Country for Old Men (2007)
From the beginning scene of the aftermath of a violent drug scene gone bad through the end this movie features a series of violent scenes. All the men seem bent on men trying to cowboy up and deal with the problem in true Texas fashion: with more violence. Don’t …
The Elephant Man (1980)
Released in 1980, and directed by David Lynch, this movie can undoubtedly be defined as one of the saddest movies of all time. I’ve only seen it twice, and I don’t really plan to see it more, at least not for some time. I’m easily caught up in good …
American Psycho
Yesterday I watched American Psycho, which was filmed in the year 2000. It is a very good movie and it is based on a book by Bret Easton Ellis. It takes place in 80’s in New York. The main character is Patrick Bateman, who is played by Christian Bale. …

Tales from the Hood is a horror movie set in the inner city. It is directed by Spike Lee. The movie is an set up as an anthology, in a manner similar to Cats Eye and Creepshow. There are several stories woven together in the movie’s …
Dead poet society movie
The movie Dead Poet Society was one of my favorite movie at all time. It’s also known to be other people’s favorite movie too. I think this one is a classic for me. I love it very much and don’t mind watching it over and over again. It’s starting …
