Big Eyes (biographical drama movie)
The movie “Big Eyes” was something that I’d been looking forward to seeing for a very long time, partly because it was done by one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton. I also became interested in seeing it because of the brief synopsis I’d heard about the plot. After watching …
Mr. Wrong movie
On Friday evening my family and I were waiting for my mother to get to my grandmother’s house after she was finished at the hair dresser, so what I did to kill time was watch a little television. That was how I saw the movie “Mr. Wrong” on the …
Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …

Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007)
Mr. Bean goes on vacation after winning a raffle. That is the plot of the movie plain and simple and in a nutshell as anyone could have it. All this movie does is takes us on the road of adventure that Mr. Bean goes through from place to place. …
Can’t Stop The Music Movie
I was just thinking back to the end of the “Disco Years.” Remember all the bad music and tacky clothes?
It was also a time for making rotten movies based on the disco craze and I can barely believe anybody ever plunked down their good money to go see …
Fame (1980)
A TV musical makes it debut on the silver screen and makes you want to get up and dance along. Not many movies in my eyes can make the leap from TV to cinema, but this movie along with a few others have managed to do so and still …
Beethoven movie
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Beethoven. It stars a lot of people. So there’s this puppy. He follows home this guy one day and settles himself in the family. He is a Saint Bernard, and so he is a large addition to the family. The man, …
The Seventh Sign movie
Strange events take place in the world, events that in courting to the bible hints that the apocalypse is close. For a woman named Abby Quinn it could also mean that her unborn child may be in danger.
This is a film that didn’t really serve it’s purpose in my …
A Beginners Guide to Endings movie
I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …
500 Days of Summer: Movie
500 Days of Summer is quite an interesting, and unique film. I decided to watch it after hearing of comparisons with Garden State, which I loved.
The boy likes girl storyline has perhaps been overused a lot throughout the history of cinema, but this is written and directed in a …
Battlefield Earth

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.

Playboy Wet & Wild: Bottoms up

Davidson had all the requirements for this character of Max …
Eat, Pray, Love Movie
Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …
Mean Girls (2004 Film)
“Mean Girls” the movie that hit big screens in 2004, was and still is a movie that is referred to by not only teenagers and young adults, but by adults as well. In my high school math class, two years after this movie came out, the math teacher called …
Splinter movie

Iron Man Movie
Action movies aren’t always the types of movies I like to watch. But if my boyfriend can get me to sit down and watch them, then I will. Iron Man is in all those comics that he reads, so I wasn’t really interested in the movies because I really …
Film 2012
I went to see 2012 with much expectation due to all hype around it. But I was not very impressed with what I saw in the silver screen. I came out with a mixed feeling. The theme of the story is of course the world gets demolished on 2012, …
“Hot Tub Time Machine” (2010) Film
The Movie is called “Hot Tub Time Machine” that title alone tells you what type of movie it is. No one would name an Oscar contender something so stupid. This is a movie whose producers are aware that it is a comedy and it is a …

When I read the description of Denzel Washington’s movie, Dejavu, I thought it sounded interesting. And, after watching it, I have to say it was even better than expected.

Volver movie

James & the Giant Peach
