It’s A Wonderful Life Movie
I had not seen this movie in such a long time and my boyfriend had never seen it. What a great feel good movie! Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed are awesome! This is such a good movie, especially around the holidays. For those of you who do not know, …
Yes Man Movie
This is one of the many movies I have seen in the theaters, which is the best place to watch really good inspirational movies. That’s what this movie did for me- it inspired me. After watching this movie, I realized all the things I’ve never done and all the …
Ladies in Lavender movie
I am reviewing the movie, Ladies in Lavender, starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, and Daniel Bruhl. It was made in 2004, was produced and directed by Charles Dance, and was produced by Nicolas Brown, Elizabeth Karlsen, and Nik Powell.
Sisters, played by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, live together …
Gothika (2003)
A psychiatrist at a mental hospital is possessed by the spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered by the doctor’s husband. Did I give it away too soon? I don’t think so, even if you are given the entire plot of the movie right off the bat, it …
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 …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …
The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017 adventure comedy film)
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 adventure comedy film that it’s a sequel to the 1995 movie Jumanji, based on the children’s book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. The movie is set twenty-one years after the first film, and it follows four teenagers who are …
Movie: How to Train Your Dragon
Since last night was New Years Eve and we didn’t have any plans to go out (we couldn’t find a sitter) we decided to stay home and watch a movie with our oldest daughter. Fortunately for us, we had the film How to Train Your Dragon.
This is a movie …
Hello, Dolly!
When Hello, Dolly! was brought to the big screen in 1969 after being a successful musical on Broadway, Hollywood cast Barbra Streisand in the role of Dolly Levi. It wasn’t a role she wanted. After all, she was too young to play the matronly Levi. On …
Fearless Jet Li
Jet Li is truly a great martial artist and actor. I loved him in this film because he played a character with complexity. He started off as a weak child that constantly tried to overcome a bully. Later he grew up to become a great fighter that allowed vanity …
Transformers
Although it is essentially a live-action film, Transformers blows Ratatouille out of the water when it comes to computer animation; the CG sequences in Michael Bay’s latest film are simply incredible, pushing computer graphics to the verge of realism. The film as a whole is a wild ride, with …
The Goonies (1985)
This is the story of a group of children whose families face home foreclosure who stumble across a map that allegedly leads to treasure that might be able to save their way of life, that in turns turned into them uncovering a criminal family plot, that in turns take …
Moana - Disney animation movie
With two small girls in the house, it is inevitable that our movie selections revolve around animations that the kids can watch. Moana, the Disney animation movie about a little girl that gets “chosen” by the ocean to save their tribe is such a stunning movie that I don’t even …
A League of Their Own Movie
For the longest time, A League of their Own was one of my favorite films, but it eventually took a back-burner seat to many of modern-day films. Yet, it has remained a past favorite that I still enjoyable to watch every now and then. I will be the first to …
I’m with lucy movie
I watched “I’m with Lucy” today on Lifetime movie network. It was better than I thought. At first I wasn’t going to watch it when it came on. I was kind of tired of watching television, but once I saw it on for a few minutes I got interested …
Hot Fuzz
This movie was fantastic, it had me chuckling the whole way through. From the same team that gave us Shaun of the Dead, this takes the life of Police Officer Nicholas Angel and delights with a send up of American police movies and the British country whodunits. …
Rent The Movie Version
I am a big fan of musicals and when I saw the musical Rent has been made into a movie I was so pleased to go and see it. Rent is story about a bunch of “bohemians” living in the city and the movie is about their friendships, …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
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 …
Fruits Basket Episode 1
Fruits Basket Episode 1 is an anime about a girl named Tohru Honda who lives in a tent and goes to school and works to try to get herself through high school after her mother died. One day, she meets Kyo Soma, after she sees some figures painted …
Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
Robocop movie
Paul Verhoeven is a dutch controversial filmmaker who combines social criticism with main stream action and science fiction, and in my opinion this mixture is often very interesting. Robocop takes place in a future where criminality has grown out of proportion and the authorities do everything they can to …
From Russia with Love movie
The second 007 film shows Sean Connery again as the british super agent. This time he goes to Russia to fight the dangerous SPECTRE organisation, and of course meets a few women while he’s there.
From Russia with Love has a very similar pace and structure as the first film …
The Man Who Shot Liberty valence
When I was a young girl there was a song on the radio The Man Who shot Liberty valence. around that time there was a John Wayne Movie based on this song. My husband and I love John Wayne Movies and some of the older ones are …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie
Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …
Total Recall Movie (2012)
Walking into the movie theater, I was a bit nervous. I did not know what to expect and I really hoped that I would like the movie. The original Total Recall has become somewhat of a classic, at least in my circle of family and friends. Doing a remake …
The Last Laugh movie
F.W. Murnau was one of the most inventive filmmakers of the late silent era, completing a number of most original pieces of film history. Sadly his career was way to short as he died at a young age, but he did have time to put his mark on cinema …
Shrek 3
The last movie for my girlfriends and I to watch on our movie day was Shrek 3. I had heard from several people that this was the best Shrek that the directors had come out with so far. I have to totally disagree with that statement. The movie was …
Ride the Wild Surf movie
From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …
Point Break
The best way to describe “Point Break” is two great young acting talents, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze team up in a movie in opposite roles with a lot of action, nail beating moments and great scenography. Apart from having a great story, the interesting aspect about this movie …
Love & Death on Long Island
Love & Death on Long Island is a very funny DVD movie that I don’t recommend at all. And when I said funny, it is not that feel-good funny types. Instead, it is more like the worst off funny kind that made my stomach churned while watching. …
Munich: Movie
I found Munich to be a very interesting and well-made Movie, though partly down to my political interests.
It is truly an intriguing story, based on true events, for anyone with an interest in politics, war and undercover assignments.
The opening scenes of the Munich shootings at the 1972 Olympics are …
New Jerusalem - A dramatic movie
The film’s storyline is about two men: lonely and somewhere in their 30s. The one man is undergoing a human crisis. The character is an Irishman named Sean Murphy (played by: Colm O’Leary.) O’Leary served with the United States National Guard while in Afghanistan. …
Barefoot in the Park movie
Barefoot in the Park is a fun, lighthearted venture from Neil Simon. It’s a delight to watch. It’s about a young married couple just starting out. They’re newlyweds and struggling to keep themselves together while still learning who they really are. Though there are moments …
Wake Me When the War Is Over movie
This 1969 movie, Wake Me When the War Is Over, is a comedy that has moderate success. I actually think I liked it better as a kid watching it. Now it’s a little on the stale and slapstick side of things for me.
The movie stars Ken Berry …
V for Vendetta
This action thriller is about a militant freedom fighter named “V” who wishes to destabilize the ruling Government and inflict freedom in the minds of the people. He is ultra swift in his actions, and speaks chaste English, which adds the required spice to his character. He rescues …
Easy Rider
Easy Rider is a movie about riding. Simple as that. I suppose riders all over would be able to love the movie and relate to the journeys of Billy and Wyatt, acted by Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda respectively. Well, minus the dope at least. These 2 …
Save the Last Dance movie
Save the Last Dance is about a teenager, Sara (Julia Stiles) and the new life she is forced to embark on after her mother passes away in a car accident. She goes to live with the father she barely knows in a rough area in Chicago; her school is …
The King’s Speech movie
Have you ever stepped up to give a presentation, whether it be for a school project or a presentation for your job, and then your words just fail you? You go up there and your mind just goes blank and time begins to expand right before your eyes, seconds …
Spartacus movie
This is another colosal movie about the Rome legend. I think it’s very tragic story. It’s about rebelition of gladiator and slaves to Rome’s kingdom.
The story start when the Rome take many innocent people as slaves. And they choose strong men to get practice to become gladiator. The Rome …
Kid Galahad movie
Kid Galahad was released one year after Blue Hawaii. I’m sure I didn’t get the connection then and in truth, it’s been many, many years since I’ve actually watched this movie. Now, I saw it several times through adolescence but I really think it’s been a long, …
Footloose (1984)
This movie is very simple and straight forward, it tells the story of a teenager, played by Kevin Bacon, who moves to a small town and has to basically adapt to their dull and dreary way of life that does not include ‘rock music and dancing’. Now that their …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday - I Loved This Movie! I am a died in the wool chick flick aficionado and The Holiday filled the bill completely!
Two women having bad luck in the love department meet through a home exchange website and decide to swap houses for the holidays to get away …
Meet The Browns - (starring Angela Bassett)
I watched Meet The Browns before and this is a movie starring Angela Bassett. She is a very lovely woman actress that I truly admire. It is not easy being a single mom and that is what Angela’s character, Brenda has to go through. She is a …
Howl’s moving Castle
Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation. This film in no ways pushes the boundaries of animation and doesn’t attempt to which is refreshing. Too many modern animation films concentrate on wonderful computer affect to the detriment of the …
Baby Boy (2001)
baby Boy, directed by John Singleton is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong sexuality, language, violence and some drug use. The original release date was June 29, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Romance and stars Tyrese Gibson …
Sin City Spoke To My Soul
It’s rare that I watch a movie and actually develop an opinion about it or respond emotionally to it. Well, I saw Sin City a few days ago and I am totally ambivalent towards it. I’ll say right now that it gets a 5, and here’s why: …
