Little Man movie
I watched Little Man this weekend and was throughly diappointed. The movie could have been better if it didn’t have the dirty language and scenes in it. I don’t understand why people can not make a movie without putting in all the dirty words and sexual scenes.
The one scene …
The Other Sister movie
“The Other Sister” is my favorite movie of all time. The acting in this movie couldn’t get much better. This movie features outstanding performances from Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton, Tom Skerritt, and Giovanni Ribisi. I absolutely adored the expression and naivety played by both Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi. …

Second Harry Potter Movie

The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Since I have just reviewed the new movie “The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” I thought it would be a good idea to review its first part, “The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” released in 2003. The first movie is much better …
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is perhaps one of those movies that actually tackle something more than just the cliché jock/nerd romance. The story follows a recently heartbroken high school student, Nick O’ Leary. …
Newsies movie
I first saw the movie Newsies when I was in high school as part of my chorus class. Ever since seeing the movie for the first time, I can’t go a year without needing to rent it again.
Overall, the movie probably isn’t the best musical out there. But, it’s …
While You Were Sleeping Movie
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to get your heart’s desire, then watch While You Were Sleeping. Just don’t expect your heart’s desire to look exactly how you thought it would.
Slightly woebegone Lucy (Sandra Bullock), is a token taker for the local commuter train. …
Angry Beavers
“Angry Beavers” was a Nickelodeon cartoon which used to air on the channel Nickelodeon in the late nineteen nineties, and the early 2000s. When I first discovered it though, I didn’t watch it because I found the cartoon annoying despite the fact that at the time I had not …
Amadeus Movie
I had missed the movie Amadeus when it first came out, so I’ve discovered it only recently, having rented a tape from our local library. It was surprisingly good. F. Murray Abraham is unforgettable as Salieri, the court composer struggling with jealousy and questioning God’s decision to give an …
The Ring movie
The Ring is one of the best scary movies to come out this decade. I think this movie is up there with the Exorcist. The US version is very well done and very creepy. I think what is so scary about the movie is that the whole time you …
The Book Thief (2014 war movie)
I like watching movies and documentaries about people’s lives in World War II because it was a dark period of time in human history and there are many interesting stories to be told. Therefore, when I saw the trailer for the movie “The Book Thief”, I definitely wanted to see …

Big Fish movie
I think Big Fish was a pretty good movie, yet it was a sad story. I really thought the stories told in the movie Big Fish were just great. This movie has a different type of setting. Big Fish is about an old man who is dying of cancer and …
Davincci code/movie
When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.

Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …

Movie Revolutionary Road

“Mean Creek” (R, 2004) movie

Can I do It Till I Need Glasses (movie)
I do not exactly remember where I saw the film “Can I do It—¦Till I Need Glasses” anymore, but I do know that the reason why I paid it any attention in the first place is because I was told that the film starred a young robin Williams. Nevertheless, …

For Your Eyes Only movie

Take a hypocondriac giraffe, an existential zebra, a tough-girl hippopotamus, and a classic New Yorker lion, transport them from the comforts of the best zoo in the world (Central Park) to the wilds of Madagascar, and you are bound to find comedy.
True friendship comes through as Alex the lion …

We got a chance to watch the movie Monsters versus Aliens this past weekend. When we did, I figured it would be something our daughter would like but I didn’t expect my wife and I to be entertained too.
There is a great cast of voices ranging from Reese Witherspoon …

The latest effort from the Stargate SG-1 camp is a direct to DVD movie called Stargate Continuum. Along with the regulars from the final season of the SG-1 television series, Richard Dean Anderson returned.

Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.

Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)
I remember when the book Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular that even people who I knew never bought a book in their lives began to devour it mostly for the sex scenes. Then of course when the movie came out, everyone claimed that I just had to see …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
Drag Me to Hell
For a catchy title, I don’t really find this movie that scary at all. My boyfriend loves it though. Drag Me to Hell has its fair share of horror but I don’t think I enjoy the movie very much. The curse plot looks good in the beginning …

I think overall it is most notable for a few …
Hulk, Movie by Director Ang Lee
