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 …
Sinister (movie)
I didn’t know anything about the movie “Sinister” until I went to see “End of Watch” in the movie theatres and saw it advertising. Based on what I had seen in the trailer, I knew immediately that I had wanted to see it in the theatres with a friend …
The Lake House movie
I’m usually not a big romance movie kind of guy but I do think Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a good film couple so I thought I would give Lake House a try.
Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …

Across the Universe Movie
I’ve always been a Beatles fanatic. As such, seeing their songs come to life on the big screen is a real treat. Usually, I find such attempts sacrilegious, but this time, I have to say the actors pulled it off. I wouldn’t have patronized an album …
Sublime Movie
Sublime is quite possibly the oddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Once the movie ended, I was left feeling very confused and still trying to figure out what happened. Sometimes that is a good thing, like in Momento, but it wasn’t a good thing in this …

Greenberg (2010 movie)
This is a movie that I really got roped into seeing. My friend was very interested in seeing it, and he basically insisted that I had to see it with him. I had never even heard of it, so I had absolutely no idea what it was about. So …
Mirrors movie
I’m not a huge Keifer Sutherland fan so I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife brought home the horror film Mirrors this past weekend.
Actually, to be fair, my doubts really had little to do with Sutherland. I just figured, reading the package, this was going to be …
The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie
I like the concept for New Moon, the second movie episode of the famous Twilight saga based on the Stephenie Meyer bunch of vampire novels, which are causing such a stir in the movie and literary worlds. The reason for the New Moon title is that Bella, the …
Disney’s Robin Hood (1973)
“Robin Hood” is not my favorite Disney animated feature. In fact, the main reason why I like it at all is the narrator, a rooster / minstrel with the voice of Roger Miller, who also composed the songs that he sings to move the story along.
The bunnies …

I am reviewing the murder mystery film, Faithful Unto Death, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based off of the novels of Caroline Graham. It was created in 1998.
In the movie Faithful Unto Death, the whole …

“Children of a Lesser God” is a great, touching movie with dramatic and romantic moments mixed up together in a very emotional script. One of the assets of this movie is that it has two main great actors William Hurt and Marlee Martin. This movie was nominated …
The Way We Were movie
The Way We Were is a classic motion picture. It’s a love story with a questionable ending. It’s romantic and tragic. It’s wonderful. The movie stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, and boy do they sizzle together. It’s not an easy relationship, but the …
CABIN FEVER movie

The Proposal Movie (2009)

Girl Happy movie
1965 gave the world another Elvis Presley movie, this time called Girl Happy. It featured, once again, Shelley Fabares. She and the King had a real chemistry going, but I have to say that I hated her hairdo in this flick. She looked really funny with …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
Match Point (R, 2005) movie
Match Point is not like you typical Woody Allen film. Usually his movies are filled with intelligent snarky humor and strange situations. This movie, while filmed in a bright and airy way, was really quite dark. What I liked in particular was my ability …
Meshes of the Afternoon moive
Perhaps the most important of all experimental films ever made. This was directed by Maya Deren and is and shows one event taking place repeatedly, but each time there is a difference in the way it occurs, only a minor one barely noticable. No matter what you think about …
Prom Night movie
In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …
She’s Out of My League Movie

House at the End of the Street (thriller movie)
A movie that I surprisingly didn’t mind was “House at the End of the Street”. It was one of those movies that was released slightly after she had become the next big thing in Hollywood. However, I was almost sure that it was going to be very unsuccessful due to …
Movie Mission Impossible
Starring: Tom Cruise (Ethan Hunt), Jon Voight (Jim Phelps), Emmanuelle Beart (Claire Phelps), Henry Czerny (Eugene Kittridge), Ving Rhames (Luther Stickell), Vanessa Redgrave (Max), Jean Reno (Franz Krieger)
I think it would be fun, as the title led me to believe that this was a modern version of the …
Something’s Gotta Give Movie
What a fun movie!
As a woman of a certain age, I found “Something’s Gotta Give” spoke to me on many levels.

Pixels (Science Fiction Comedy Movie)

Barnyard
I have recently purchased this movie and watched it with both my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren. The first thing I noticed was that the male cows, steers, bulls, whatever they are, have utters. My grandkids of course paid this no attention but I am assuming older children …
A Roman Holiday (1953)
Just lately, I’ve been wondering why in my history of watching old films, I never sighted an Audrey Hepburn film in TCM, a channel repository for classic movies. Crouched in front of a grainy black and white TV screen, I like to pass the time as a nocturne …
Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
