I am a Twilight saga fan, so I saw New Moon on the Saturday after it came out. I’d of course read the book and had seen all the previews, so I kind of knew what to expect. I’ve got to say that I actually liked it …

March of the Penguins is one of my favorite movies and one I have watched several times. It is a documentary of the lives and struggles of Emperor penguins on the Antarctic continent but it is anything but boring. Narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary is touching, …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …
The Postman movie
The Postman has got to rank as one of the better movies I have watched in the 90’s. I have read a lot of articles stating negative reviews but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinion so I still suggest you give this movie a shot. It …

Shutter Island Movie (2010)
Who would have thought that Leonardo DiCaprio would be one of the greatest actors that would star in a lot of great blockbuster movies? One of these movies would be Shutter Island (2010). This was one of the best movies that I have seen DiCaprio in next to Inception. …
A Daughter’s Nightmare (2014, TV movie)
A Daughter’s Nightmare directed by Vic Sarin is one of those thrilling TV movies that send waves of current down your spine. I couldn’t be more impressed after watching this brilliant crime thriller that is probably one of the best of its kind. After the death of Ariel’s father …

Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …

Revolver is a story about a gambler named Jake Green (Jason Statham) who has just gotten out of jail after a 7 year sentence and vows revenge on a crime …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
The Goonies (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “The Goonies” is one that I have now referred to as an “addiction film”. What I mean by that term is simply this, that the film (for reasons unknown) is one that I cannot help but fall in love with. From the cast of misfits who …
Movie Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is a great war movie with Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Hartnett playing the pivotal roles. The movie is based on the attack on Pearl Harbor and is very well directed. Though the movie is very long in duration, it doesn’t seem an obstacle for a …
The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …

Notorious movie
Notorious, this was a great title for the movie biography of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. I saw the movie about a week ago, and am still amazed at what his life was like, true or not. Notorious means widely and unfavorably known, which is the epitome of Christopher Wallace’s …

Jane Eyre,1996 Movie
Franco Zeffireli’s 1996 version of Jane Eyre would have been very good had he cast a different actor for Mr. Rochester. Don’t get me wrong, William Hurt who plays Rochester in this movie is a good actor, and he did a good job - but he just doesn’t *look* …

In The Land Of Women
I watched In The Land Of Women the other day and was quite surprised to find Adam Brody starring together with one of my most favorite actress, Meg Ryan. If you remember watching The OC, you will know the handsome, tall and dark-haired Adam.
He is a guy …
abalonemoon.com
Abalone Moon is an excellent example of a literary e-zine. The URL address is http://www.abalonemoon.com and I thoroughly examined this e-zine on the 16th of April. As stated by Abalone Moon, they publish “poetry, interviews, prose, essays, reviews, photography and visual art.” It also states a central theme. …

Dreamscape
I hadn’t seen Dreamscape in a while so, when given the opportunity to watch it last night, I made every effort. And, I have to say, the movie is as good as I remember it.
The great thing about Dreamscape is, even today, it’s a plot that hasn’t been re-done …
Dead poet society movie
The movie Dead Poet Society was one of my favorite movie at all time. It’s also known to be other people’s favorite movie too. I think this one is a classic for me. I love it very much and don’t mind watching it over and over again. It’s starting …
Bad Santa
I’m not a huge Billy Bob Thornton fan so, when his movie Bad Santa came out, I really avoided watching it. However, it was on one of our movie channels the other day and, since there was nothing better on, I figured I would give it a chance.
It wasn’t …
Ex Drummer (comedy movie)
While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …

Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti) works as a caretaker of an apartment block in Philadelphia. One night, he finds a girl called Story (Bryce Dallas Howard) in the swimming pool. When the girl tells him that she is a nymph from another world (and she has to accomplish an …
Cocktail
“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …

Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …
Mr. fix it (2006) movie
Oh my God, this is one of the most stupid movies out there. I don’t even know how in the world can you make a movie that is so bad. And it is very surprising since the actors in the movie are absolutely amazing. The only scenario I can …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (UR, 2006) movie
I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …
Sleepy Hollow: the movie

An absolutely brilliant comedy where …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!
It seems that the on-screen …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …
