Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …

Pollock is another movie about a real artist, Jackson Pollock. Pollock is the real deal and evidently Jackson Pollock was no peach. I was rather horrified by this movie, and it was very haunting. Jackson Pollock was an important American artist whose style was like no other. In Pollock, …

The film which took Oscar by Storm , Slumdog Millionaire is a perfect portrayal of the real slums of Mumbai though not a picture copy of Mumbai . The film moves around a …

When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …

I actually didn’t know what to expect of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I was worried that it would be a bollywood type production, which I was not really interested in seeing. I was also a bit skeptical on just how good a movie starring actors in their first large …

There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …

I watched this story before, Because I Said So, starring one of my most favorite actress, Mandy Moore and the very talented and awesome Diane Keaton.
This is a very good movie story to watch if you are a mother and if you are a daughter. I’m sorry, …

I saw the movie “The Watchmen” recently and I really liked it, however I wouldn’t recommend it to parents with children under age 15.
The movie itself was fantastic, the camerawork was wonderful, the actors were great, and the dialog was witty.
However, I have a borderline large issue with the …

I went to see Casino Royale on New Year’s Day. I think it is the first Bond film I’ve seen at the movies since 1966. I was a little disappointed. I think this is for two different reasons.
My favorite James Bond was played by Sean Connery. He was witty, …

In 1969, David Janssen, Kim Darby, and Pete Duel starred in Generation, a movie that truly is about the generation gap. Janssen is businessman Jim Bolton, who is stunned when his daughter, Doris (Darby), marries Walter Owen (Duel). Worse, she’s pregnant. Worse than that for Jim …

When I decided to watch the movie The Horror Within the other night, it was with the expectation it would be a low-budget, cheesy horror flick.
I was partially right. It was low budget and cheesy but it was more of a comedy than a horror movie.
Let’s face it, whenever …

It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …

There is a brilliant spot in Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown. It’s actually a parody of the TV drama, Hill Street Blues. I recognized what was happening almost immediately. It surrounded Roxy (Jasmine Guy), who is a meter maid on the show. She …

I typically do not like comic book films. But I will admit that this little movie starring Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider won me over with little effort. What I liked in particular was the way his transformation into the Ghost Rider was filmed. …

King’s Speech is exactly the kind of movie I enjoy most. Very touching, perfectly acted, and a beautiful rendering of a historical event or personality. This is a film that has garnered much recognition this Awards Season and that is rightly so, because it is certainly my favorite of …

I think Final Fantasy: The Spirtis Within is half a brillaint movie. That half woiould be with regard to the look of the film. This is a pure CGI movie that broke ground with its animations. It is certainly amazing in that regard.
I think this is the most realistic …

Autopsy is a film from After Dark, aka the famous After Dark Horrorfest films that release “8 films to die for” every year for the last few years. I generally find their films to be of better quality than the usual“B”horror movies that are available. This one …

Dirty Love is one of my favorite comedy movies. It will keep you laughing throughout the entire movie. Jenny Mccarthy is awesome in it. Although there are one or two parts that I thought were stupid instead of funny, I still loved the movie. I think it is more …

When I was a youngster, I was not much of a horror movie fan, so I did not see get around to seeing George Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978. It has only been since I became an adult that I have grown to appreciate the …

This is one of Suzuki’s films that is most unlike the major part of his work. The narrative is of the same style as his other films, but here I think he goes much deeper into the personalities of his characters and gives a more moving portrait of human …

From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …

One of the best movie musicals ever made in my opinion. Every song from start to end in this magnificent film is worth memorizing. I have all of the lodged in deep memory from the very first time I saw this film. Ok, on to reviewing the movie.
This movie …

Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.
This is one of the earlier James Bond sequels and therefore features the super handsome Sean Connery in the lead. It does lack some of the refined touched that we came to enjoy in the newer sequels such as …

I didn’t know abortion was not allowed in communist Romania and prosecuted strongly by law. But I knew about the cooperative living in student housing, the muddy streets, the black market of foreign goods, the segregation of “educated” and “ordinary” folks, the fear to be a woman and walk …

The second season of 30 Rock was cut short because of the writer’s strike, which is something that I didn’t realize when I first started watching it online through Netflix. Despite the fact that it was missing 5-6 episodes off the regular season length, this was still pretty good. …

My husband and I watched Coraline as a part of our Valentines Day date! I know it is not your romantic kinda movie but I will tell you, we both enjoyed it. It is being played in 3D that made it even more fun and interesting! It is the …

“Blue Streak” is one of Martin Lawrence’s great movies. If you enjoyed his interpretation of “Big Momma’s House” films, then I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy watching this movie which Lawrence did just a year before the “Big Momma” hit movies.
What I really liked about this movie, …

Ice Age is a different movie set in the time of the Ice Age. It is definitely not for those who aren’t into animated films, since it follows the animated scheme a lot. It is a simple and entertaining story with some great scenes and it works. It isn’t …

Destiny! A mere coincident, a perfect accidentally meeting, in an unexpected date, day and time including places.
“Serendipity” is a movie, which lovers and hopelessly romantics would like. A very good twist emphasized on coincident, love at first sight, true love. Two people met at the amidst of chaotic Christmas …

I was watching some movies on TV last night and came across Superman. I hadn’t seen it in a while so I figured I would give the movie (which is almost as old as I am) another chance.
It is still as good today as it was then; which is …
