The Avengers (2012 movie)
The Avengers was, to put it lightly, absolutely epic. I’ve never been that interested in superhero movies, games, or comics, but this action film was incredible. The way the action blended perfectly with the story line meant that I was captivated for the entire time, even though it’s a …
Vajra Sky Over Tibet
I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.
This is a very good, …
Devil’s Diary (movie)
I’m not sure if this movie originally came from the Lifetime Movie Network, but that is where I watched it the first time, and am watching it now again. I thought it was pretty great for a low budget movie too, and one that is on Lifetime, since I’m …
The Lone Ranger Movie
“The Lone Ranger” is more than just a western. It delicately combines the ironic take on the genre and the homage to the similar European and American classics. To me “The Lone Ranger” is something like “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but in the Wild West. Here, in contrast with …
Hanna ( 2011 Movie )
The movie stars Saoirse Ronan, a young Irish actress who played the role of Hanna. Her father Erik played by Eric Bana an ex-CIA person. The antagonist of the story is Cate Blanchett who plays Marissa Wiegler.
This was directed by Joe Wright who also directed critically-acclaimed movies such as Pride …
Little Man, Keenen Ivory Wayans Movie

Natural Born Killer

Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
Lucky Number Slevin is a movie that most of yall have probably not heard of but it one of my favorite little unknowns. It is a great crime thriller with a power packed cast which includes Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Lui and Bruce Willis. With all …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that people either love or don’t care for at all. I’m definitely one of the former people, which explains why I now own three copies of the movie on DVD. When I was looking through the racks of a local store and …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
Must Love Dogs. A Movie
I recently bought the movie “Must Love Dogs” from Big Lots for only three dollars and I really thought it was cute. I had never seen it before and my thought was that for only three dollars if it was bad than I could just throw it away. …
Frankie and Johnny movie
Where to start talking about this musical film, Frankie and Johnny? It’s a 1966 release that has a lot of singing Elvis Presley and, of all persons, Donna Douglas as his co-star. Douglas is best known as Elly May Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies. While I …
Joy Ride, movie
Joy ride is the tale of road trippers on the way home from college for the summer. It starts Steve Zahn, Paul Walker and LeeLee Sobieski. I thought that this film follows in a similar vein of “The Hitch Hiker,” yet still brought some new things to the screen …
There Will Be Blood, epic drama film
Directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite films of all times. The movie comes in two formats for the DVD, the single disc and the two disc special edition. Both offer the film in its entirety, but the one is …
Pearl Harbor Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time, it’s just a very classic movie that in my opinion, is second to the box-office hit Titanic, but I think the production is almost the same and it should be given much credit just like Titanic. Michael Bay did such a …
Black Dog
Black Dog is an unexpected treat. It’s a movie that I’d normally never watch or even think about seeing, except for one thing — it stars my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze. Patrick made this movie right after recovering from a near fatal accident when he’d been thrown …
Cool Runnings
This 1993 movie, Cool Runnings, was another huge surprise to me. I just happen to watch it one day on cable when a fluke of going up and down the channels landed on it. I became hooked on it, and now it’s a movie I enjoy watching …
The Outer Limits : “Second Soul” episode
I rented the Outer Limits : Death and Beyond series because I’m truly a creepy person. I’ve always loved the Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside. So, I thought that this would be a natural DVD choice for someone like me. Boy was I …
Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
Sweet Bird of Youth movie
From 1962, Sweet Bird of Youth is the Tennessee Williams tale of a young man who returns home after a failed bid to make it as an actor in Hollywood.
Paul Newman is terrific as Chance Wayne, the bad guy who surprises the town by showing up unexpectedly. He’s …

The synopsis on the DVD cover looked interesting at first; eerie voodoo happenings on a secluded tropical island. However it was more …
What about Bob?
I really liked the movie What about Bob?. I think Bill Murray was very funny as the character of Bob. Bob is a guy who has mental problems and has to go see a shrink. He also is very paranoid and scared of everything. I think it’s very funny …
Movie: “The House Bunny”
“The House Bunny” came from the same writers that created “Legally Blonde”; while “Bunny” is definitely not the instant classic that “Legally Blonde” was, it’s a cute movie of its own right.
Anna Faris plays Shelley, a Playboy bunny who gets kicked out of the Playboy Mansion at the ripe …
United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …
Suspect X - (Japanese movie with English subtitles)
I thought that this is going to be a super amazing movie story but it just disappoints me to the max. The actors aren’t that bad looking and quite talented and this is like a normal cop movie where Suspect X is the mystery in the story. Yukawa …

Alien Versus Predator Requim
My husband and I saw this movie last night. The movie started out with the viewer knowing quite a bit of the continuing saga of the alien and predator saga. It did pick up where the last left off with the predator having captured some specimens of …
Movie SEVEN
The most favorite movie i have ever seen is Seven! Brad pitt has done an excellent job. Not to leave out the performance of morgan freeman, the veteran actor has shown all the diagonals of acting. The story is about tracking a serial killer who wants to show the …
Movie Man of the Year
I wasn’t sure what to think when they cast Robin Williams as a presidential candidate in the movie Man of the Year. But, after watching the film last night, I do think it is better than I expected it to be; though I’m not sure its his best film.
Williams …
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.
“Glitter” was made …
House of Wax
House of Wax with Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, and Paris Hilton.
I have to be honest. I watched this movie in the hopes of seeing nude scenes with Paris Hilton. Well, it did not happen and the rest of the movie had to stand …
The Italian Job, movie (1969)
Chances are, you know who Michael Caine is. The Prestige, Inception and the recent trio of Batman films are only a few of the films to showcase his talents. Yet, there was a period where no one outside of England knew who he was. Thanks to …
Scent of a Woman
This is one of Hollywood’s classic movies which tackles a very difficult argument about living life to the full and suicides. What I really like about this movie is Al Pacino excellent performance of the role Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade. It is no doubt that he won the Oscar …

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 …
Jeepers Creepers 2 Movie
If I have said it once, I’ve said it too many times…some movies really don’t need a sequel and Jeepers Creepers is one such movie. Ok, I get the fact that every twenty third spring for twenty three days it gets to eat…but come on, if the creature has …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Movie
I have always maintained that the best books to be made a movie are the fantasy books (witness Lord of the Rings the movie). I was eagerly awaiting the third movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because I wanted to see how well the new casts such …
I Am Legend DVD
I am Legend is very much a one man show with lead actor Will Smith on great form in undeniably his best screen performance to date. Overhyped? almost definately, but despite this the end result is ultimately rewarding.
So what’s it all about ? Emma …
Clawed the Legend of Sasquatch (2005) Movie
I watched this horror movie last night and it was much better than I had expected. I had never seen a movie about a sasquatch (bigfoot) before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m happy to say this picture kept me entertained until the end. The plot was …
