The Fox and the Hound 2 movie
I only just watched The Fox and the Hound 2 last night, and I was so delighted with it. I’ve been wanting to see it since I heard that my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, was one of the voices. I’m not sure why it took me so …
Juno
I had a friend recently recommend the movie Juno to me. From the trailers, the movie didn’t really stand out to me, and I probably wouldn’t have realized it existed if not for this friend. That is all beside the point, however, because I’m very glad I …
A Friendship in Vienna movie
This movie premiered on The Disney Channel in 1988, but it is still one of the best movies that was ever shown on that network. Thirteen year Inge Dournenvald and Lise Mueller are best friends in Vienna, Austria. This is an amazing thing, because it is 1938, …
Jurassic Park 3 movie
Jurassic Park 3 is a great action packed movie. This is the third installment of the Jurassic Park series and in my opinion the best one so far. The stars of this movie include Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni and Alessandro Nivola. I liked each character in …
Easy-A: Movie
Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …
Little Miss Sunshine movie
When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew it fit my sense of humor - somewhat dark but also a little bit slapstick. All the film’s actors turn in excellent performances, but Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, and Steve Carell are especially strong in their respective roles …
Bones
As there are no famous actors in this series, I believe that the writers are the true stars. The cast is well chosen and work well together, but I feel that the complex, intriguing story lines are the factors that make this show a winner.
The …
Movie : Rumour Has It
Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

Carousel movie
Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …
Get Shorty
WHen I saw the movie “Be Cool” come out in 2005, I had a hard time understanding it even though it was only bits and pieces at different times that I watched. Thus, when I heard that it was actually a sequel to the movie “Get Shorty” which I …
Hindi Movie Black and white
I watched this movie a weeks back as this was directed by Subhash Ghai, who is a well known entertainer director of bollywood. I had some expectation from this, but the movie disappointed me big time, the story is about a person who lost is family in Gujrat riots …
Movie Juno
This movie is about Juno, a teenage girl who found herself pregnant and trying to find means and ways to look for a father to adopt her baby when she gives birth. I love the acting of actress Ellen Page and if you want to have a clue …
David Icke’s From Prison to Paradise
I have a thing for writers who are out there on the fringe a little bit. I don’t know what it is about them but there is something that intrigues me. With this in mind, I thought that I would enjoy watching David Icke’s “From Prison to …

Pulp Fiction movie
When Pulp Fiction was released, I had not seen a good movie like this in a while. Pulp Fiction held my attention from the moment the movie started and I waited with my breath held to see what would happen next until the end of the movie. John Travolta …
The Hurt Locker film
Starring: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Evangeline Lilly, Ralph Fiennes, David Morse, Guy Pearce, and Christian Camargo.

The Hurt Locker is one of the best war films made in a while, one that deserves to sit up there along with Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan and …
Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …
The Lobster (2015 Film)
Never in my life had I felt very weird and astonished at the same time after watching a film. A lot of times I felt very weird and strange though, one after watching Paolo Sorrentino’s 2015 film Youth, however, not feeling astonished at the same but rather awkward and looking …
Step Up movie
Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …
Galaxy Quest movie
They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, Galaxy Quest imitates Star Trek with zest and now Galaxy Quest itself has been imitated on various shows. That’s how well this movie comedy performed.
This entire movie is like a great big Trek satire, starting with the …
Red 2 (movie)
I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …
88 minutes movie
This was a really good movie overall. Al Pacino plays in it and he plays a forensic psychiatrist. He gets a phone call and tells him that he only has 88 minutes to live. I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was entertaining, and kept my interests throughout the …
Mirrors 2008 DVD
I bought this movie’s DVD. The title of the movie seemed like a very justified name fr a horror flick. I was overall pleased with his film.
The cast of the film were not very famous persons. However the concept of the film was very good. The movie open with …
B-Movie Classic: The Evil Dead
Way before the Spider-Man movies ever existed, director Sam Raimi made a film called The Evil Dead. This film, in no way, is a blockbuster hit. Evil Dead is a classic bad movie, which was meant to scare, yet at the same time, humor.
The movie stars a young man …
Annie movie
Annie is the early 1980’s movie of Little Orphan Annie.
Aileen Quinn is the young lady who plays the title role.
I really thought this adaptation of the popular comic strip and play was well done.
This musical was produced really well.
Quinn does a wonderful job as the precocious Annie.
Carole …

There are not that many western made these days and when you see one that is recent I normally like to see an actor that I appreciate.

Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …
Redrum
“Redrum” is possibly one of the silliest movies I have ever watched. I am not quite sure why the movie is being aired on the television in the first place, or why someone would want to spend money on making a movie such as this as I found everything …
The Usual Suspects (1995 Classic Film)
As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling. Over the past weeks I’ve encountered David Fincher masterpieces that I could definitely say inspired some of Nolan’s features, and this week someone recommended me a …
SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL IN 3 D

Marley & Me (2008) Movie
