The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Mary Poppins Movie
First of all let me tell you a bit about the movie for anyone who has not seen it. Mary Poppins is set in London around 1910. It is a fantastic musical family film. The film is about a family in London who require a nanny for …
Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …

When you talk about movies that change the very way you think and movies that challenge every aspect of your thinking capabilities, look no further than IT, the movie from the mind of the legendary horror writer Stephen King and a straight to television motion picture of the book …

I was really stuck watching this movie. Its a real life story of how the Black Americans fought their way to be able to have the same rights as that of the White Americans. I love seeing this movie since its very informative. Denzel Washington is one of my …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …
The Daybreakers (R, 2010)
I didn’t know exactly what to expect at first. I like vampire films and was quite anxious about this one. The Daybreakers is about a society in which vampires are the majority and humans are the minority. In fact, the government has begun to “farm” human …
Pete’s Dragon
Disney was the pioneer of mixing live action with animation, way back when he produced Alice In Cartoonland back in the 1920s. This art form would be tried many times by many animators throughout cinema’s history, culminating in 1988s �Who Framed Roger Rabbit?� But between Alice and Roger rode …
Kung Fu Hustle movie

Movie Cloverfield
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Cloverfield. It stars a lot of no names. So it starts with this dude asked to tape this going away party for this guy. He is to document what people say. So, he has the camera rolling all the time. Everybody seems …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
The Blood of Fu Manchu movie
“The Castle of Fu Manchu” is one of Christopher Lee’s older movies. Like the other movie “The Castle of Fu Manchu”, most people I know either like this film or hate it. It never seems to be in between. Personally I think this one is not much better than …
Inkheart (the movie)
I just watched Inkheart and totally loved it! Based on the book Inkheart by Cornelia Funke–which by the way, I didn’t read– although, now after seeing the movie I want to read the book.
The whole premise of the movie is about this man and his daughter who both …
A Shark’s Tale
I went to go see this movie against my own will. My friends all wanted to see A Shark’s Tale, and I was outnumbered, so I had to go. Let me make this clear, I did not want to see this movie at all! It looked like a cheesy …

Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.

The Orphanage (2007)
Yesterday, my whole family and my boyfriend managed to watch this DVD movie, The Orphanage (2007), and I must say it scared the daylights out of us. This is a Spanish movie, so be prepared to read the subtitles. It ain’t that bad, but ain’t that good either. …

It’s somehow fascinating how …
The Royal Tenenbaums

Bruce Almighty vs. Evan Almighty
I remember thinking that Bruce Almighty was going to be disappointing when I watched it, and I do think that it was a little disappointing in the end. It is not nearly as good as the movie after it. The movie I felt, was a little disrespectful to religion, …

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.

Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
Valkyrie: Movie
I thought that Valkyrie was a decent, very-well executed movie made better for me by the fact that it was based on true, historical events.
I think that the story is a very powerful one to tell, as not much is remembered of the Germans who hated Hitler as much …
The Answer Man - Movie on DVD
Some movies I enjoy because they are well made. They either have superior production values, such as “The Pirates of the Caribbean” series, or the plots are exciting, or the actors are engaging. Then there are some movies that I elevate to a special class: those that have something …
Running Scared Paul Walker
I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …
Movie: “Stand By Me” (1986)
This movie is based on the novella “The Body” by Stephen King. I was very happy to see that, for once, the movie closely followed the original story; and actually did it justice.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine; and a boy named Ray Brower has …
Vigilante Force movie
Vigilante Force is a movie from 1976 that featured Jan-Michael Vincent and Kris Kristofferson. It opens with sex and violence, two huge turn offs for me. I’ve seen it in passing a couple of times, when I was more into Kristofferson in his post-A Star is Born …
Glitter movie
Beautiful and gifted young female singer longs for and eventually achieves great fame, but, in her quest, faces loss and tragedy in love and life.
This is a typical formula movie plot used for decades in films, with the exception that it exceeds the others in sheer awfulness.
