Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …

Paranormal Activity movie
Last night I watched the movie Paranormal Activity. From the moment the movie began I thought, “Oh no this movie is so cheaply made.” However I decided I’d give it a chance since I’d heard so many great things about it.
From the beginning when they set the camera …
“The Great Debaters” Movie on DVD
I looked forward to watching “The Great Debaters” because I hoped to pick up some pointers on how to argue more persuasively. I thought it would be like the movie, “Akeelah and the Bee”, which involves the quest of a young girl to win the national spelling bee. After …

Drowning Mona

The Notebook
I don’t usually like romance books or movies because to me they all seem to be way too unrealistic for my comfort, even though ironically I love things such as good fantasy novels and movies and horror novels and movies. This was why I first shied away from the …

The Saw movies
Oh how I loathe these movies. My fiance takes me to them every time they come out on the big screen and I just HATE them. I don’t think there’s really any acting in it. Anyone can ‘act’ in a horror movie. I mean anyone. I just don’t get …
Shrek the Third
After years of hearing just how bad “Shrek the Third” was I decided that it was time to try the movie myself. I can certainly see why so many people disliked it but it was nowhere near as bad as I had expected.

Movie: From Prada to Nada

From Prada to Nada sounded like a catchy name for a film and it caught my attention when I looked at the info on the movie. …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …

Spongebob Squarepants Cartoon
One thing I did not understand about my high school was that everyone who was someone watched the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants. By that I mean everyone from the hottest girls in the school to the baddest guys in the boys school and so on. At that time I never …
Sense and Sensibility movie

High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
Punch Drunk love movie
Punch Drunk love is a diffrent movie and is one of the good movies in which Adam Sandler acted. Barry owns a company that sells some novelty items. This movie has a complete different theme and is very different from Adam Sandler’s other movies. As I like his performance …
