The Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie that may take you several times of watching before you really get all the little nuances that are going on. At least for me, that is what happened. I got the big picture right away, but it took several viewings to …

I loved this movie so much because of the story line. Harrison Ford is portrayed as a strong American President who decides fight back. When his plane is hijacked by terrorists, he does not just take it but simply out smarts them. The terrorists never saw it coming. They …

The Ugly Truth is another one of those date movies. It stars Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy fame as the heroine Abby, a control freak working in one of those high-pressure, high-profile movie networks. The casting gets better, wow, the lead actor is Gerard Butler who ably …

This review does not have a summary. This movie was one of the best holocaust movies I have seen in a long time. When I saw this movie, it was all in Italian, which is for the most part the only downside to it. Although, the script in …

“Sherry Baby” is a movie with a great message to send back home about ex-women convicts. Although the interpretation of Maggie Gyllenhaal in the main role is excellent, this movie has a weak script and the story moves on a very slow pace.
This movie is about a woman Sherry …

Let’s Go Collegiate was a movie released in 1941 that is basically a lot of college age nonsense. I tried, but I couldn’t get all that into the fun of this picture. It was okay, but I just didn’t really take to the story and none of …

I have always been a fan of supernatural movies so when I came across Rose Red by Stephen King I had high hopes. The movie (made from the miniseries) was not as great as I expected but still became one of my favorites.
The plot tells of a teacher …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is latest movie to come out and the fifth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. In my opinion, this is the best movie of the franchise. A HUGE improvement from the mess that was Harry Potter and the Goblet …

American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …

For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …

This film was set in London, with a group of friends taking …

I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …

Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …

This is yet another movie where you must ask the question of “What were they thinking?”. This movie is sleep, snore, drool…boring. It is supposed to be a Comedy/Drama, but I am yet to see where the comedy is or has gone. I’ve come to expect so much better …

Skyfall is the latest and greatest James Bond 007 film, and while I admit I have never seen a James Bond film before, I absolutely loved Skyfall! It is action-packed, funny, and thrilling, and it had the entire theater at the edge of their seats. I absolutely loved Skyfall, …

*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …

This is definately a movie worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet. It has Susan Surandon in it. It’s about two girls that go off on a trip and one of the girls get rapped along the way. I think it is a wonderful story and the whole …

Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …

Tarkovsky’s great masterpiece about three men going on a journey through “the zone”, which is a restricted area where the deepest wish of every man becomes reality.

This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …

I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …

Whenever there’s a classic film, it’s usually hard to come up with a sequel that’s actually better. Rambo, First Blood Part 2 is one of those exceptions.

In 1953, Twentieth Century-Fox released the marvelous musical, Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor, and Vera-Ellen. It’s high-powered, high-energy, and high-five fun.
