The Last Picture Show movie
Peter Bogdanovich is one of the few actual film critics that later went into the director’s profession and was successful. The Last Picture Show is his most critically acclaimed film and is an original story about the teenagers of a small american town and their relationships to each other. …
Les Miserables movie
None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …
Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
Movie War of the Worlds (2005)
Even though War of the Worlds is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it very much, I was not happy with the fact that Tom Cruise played the leading role. I did not think the character of Ray Ferrier was portrayed as believable and may have been better …
Blockbuster Online Accounts
This company certainly knows how to work you over and obtain maximum revenue at consumer loss! A few years ago they had a $19.99 plan that allowed 3 discs at a time with UNLIMITED in store exchanges. They since changed that plan to allow only FIVE exchanges per month …

Clint Eastwood stars as an FBI Agent in need of a heart transplant; he is given the heart of a female murder victim and should be back on his feet in no time. He is approached one day the sister of the murder victim whose heart he received, her …
Notorious movie
From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.
Filmed in black and white, Notorious stars Cary Grant as T.R. …
As Good as It Gets, the movie (1997)
I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …
Cloak & Dagger
This film came out shortly after Henry Thomas came to worldwide attention in E.T. Well-cast in this role, this was the type of role best suited for Henry Thomas. He comes across as a kid with a great imagination and this movie blends both creatively.
It is the story of …

Beauty Shop
I watched “Beauty Shop” last night. I thought it was hilarious! This PG-13 movie stars Queen Latifa, Kevin Bacon, Alicia Silverstone, Andie McDowell and many other familiar faces. Gina (Queen Latifa) quits her job at a salon to open her own business. She encounters troubles of running her own …
Talk to Me (R, 2007) movie
If ever there was a true story brought to film that needed to be seen, it’s this one. “Talk to Me” covers the true story of Petey Greene, a former convict who fast-talked his way into a coveted Washington DC radio station DJ job. Don Cheadle is …
Terminator Salvation
For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …
Brothers movie
Note: This review contains spoilers!
“Brothers”, starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman is a movie that suffers from bad marketing. When I saw the trailer for it, I was expecting a psychological thriller, and instead found the movie to be more of a run of the mill drama. …
Green Dragon movie
Green Dragon (2004) is an independent film based on a true story about Vietnamese refugees as they arrive at Camp Pendleton at the end of the Vietnam conflict. It’s a story that hasn’t been told before, and it’s very well done.
Timothy Linh Bui directed the movie which stars …
The Forgotten movie
The Forgotten was an alright movie. I remember watching this movie. I didn’t think it was the best movie ever, but it was still cool. I liked the story a little. I think that the whole alien abduction thing was pretty cool and I must say that I did enjoy …
Come Back, Little Sheba movie
Come Back, Little Sheba is a classic black and white film made in 1952. When I first heard about this movie, I really thought Come Back, Little Sheba was about little more than a lost dog and his heartbroken owner. Come Back, Little Sheba is beautifully done, even though …
Mighty Ducks, The (1992)
Starring Emilio Estevez, The Mighty Ducks is a movie about a lawyer (Gordon Bombay) who gets arrested for DUI. He is ordered to do 500 hours of community service, where he must serve as a head coach of a Minneapolis Peewee hockey team. At first he is reluctant to …
Stormbreaker the Movie
Alright, I heard from my friend that this wasn’t really that good of a movie. I’ve read the book and was amazed by Horrowitz talents at writing, so I decided to watch the movie, and the first thing I thought was “Woah, my friend is a big …
Adventureland (2009) Movie
If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …
Hotel Rwanda movie
Depicting the horrible massacre in Rwanda in the 1990s, this film features an excellent Don Cheadle as the man who tries to save as many people from being killed as he can. Unfortunately, the film focuses all to much on the mere sentimental parts, and leaves the audience practically …
Focus - Romantic Comedy Movie (2015)
‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …
Horror Express movie
I actually heard about this movie by accident, when I was surfing the net. I didn’t know that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had starred in a film together until I heard about “HOrror Express”, and I found the concept of the two actors working with each other to …
Ghost
Patrick Swayze fought hard for the role of Sam Wheat in Ghost, and it’s a good thing he did. He was perfect for the role, and it was he who, in turn, fought for Whoopi Goldberg to play Oda Mae Brown, for which she won an Oscar.
From the …
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (movie)
Call me easily amused, but I sincerely think that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is one of the most hillarious movies of all times. Jim Carey is just outstanding in this flick, and basically utilizes every funny bone in his body to put on a powerfully amusing movie. …
Bridget Jones’ Diary movie
One of the movies I hesitated to watch for a very long time was a movie called “Bridget Jones’ Diary”. This was because I usually hate romance films and I heard that the movie was a romance movie. It also starred the actress Renee Zellweger as the lead and …
After Earth, movie
I had such high expectations for this movie after seeing the commercial with Will Smith and his son in it, since I love Will Smith’s acting in I am Legend, Hancock, and him and his son in The Pursuit of Happiness. I knew the basic summary of the movie …
Right at Your Door Movie
Right at Your Door is a thinking person’s movie, meaning that you can’t just kick back and watch the movie while you do the laundry, play with the kids, or give the dog a bath. You could, but I doubt it would have the same effect on you that …
Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword
I got home from work last night and my daughter had just started watching the movie Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword. Since I had not seen that movie yet, I figured I would take the time to watch it with her (while feeding our other daughter).
It was an …
Ladyhawke (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “Ladyhawke” was not only a strong dose of fantasy that touches everyone’s inner child and magical yearning for something powerful that can’t possibly be real, as well as beautiful love story that was heartwarming to watch. Mathew Broderick, a very young Mathew Broderick, as well as …
Equilibrium (2002)
Feelings are outlawed as mankind’s greatest weakness in the futuristic action/adventure flick starring Christian Bale as Cleric John Preston. From the very first action scene, you could tell that this movie was going to be very exciting, and, it did not disappoint on that regard. Finding, fighting and eradicating …
Breakdown movie

“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …
The Undefeated documentary
The Undefeated is a documentary about Sarah Palin. Some persons think of this documentary kind of like an event or production where you sit and watch it out of general politeness. Some have been even as bold as to describe it as a really, long, …
Gidget Gets Married
Finally grown up, Gidget Gets Married. It had to happen sometime, and it was just time to let Gidget and Moondoggie get together for real. Monie Ellis inherited the Gidget role for this movie from 1972. She’s good, but of all the Gidgets in all of …
The Witch (2015 Horror film)
As soon as I saw the trailer and began to hear a lot of good reviews about it, I searched long and hard for the 2015 movie “The Witch”. I’m a huge supernatural horror movie fan, and so the excitement was contagious. I found it on blu-ray and I expected …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a romantic comedy with an almost universal appeal, simply because it is, at it’s heart, a great movie. The plot isn’t meant to appeal solely to women, or even towards men, as one would expect from a Judd Apatow Production. Instead, it is a movie …
Veggietales: Silly Thing Called Love
I picked up a Veggietales DVD for my daughter that I thought would keep her occupied for about 45 minutes. It turns out it was a pretty decent, full-length disk that kept her occupied for more than an hour.
Silly Thing Called Love is a great Veggietales disk that uses …

Its story revolves around Kenshin Himura, a once notorious assassin of the government but is now living as …
Movie Reno 911
Reno 911 is an extraordinary ensemble of unknowns that team up to make the slapstick satire on the Reno Police Force a real winner. The use of lit up scenes in an amateurish presentation makes this show look like a home video, but do not be fooled. …
Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)
I remember when the book Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular that even people who I knew never bought a book in their lives began to devour it mostly for the sex scenes. Then of course when the movie came out, everyone claimed that I just had to see …
Dallas Season 9 DVD
A lot of people knock this particular season of DALLAS but it really isn’t all that bad. Actually, the only knock it because of what happens in season 10. Ok, let’s explain what this is all about: in the previous season, Patrick Duffy left Dallas to seek other pursuits. He …
Black Christmas Movie
This movie was very disappointing for me. for a scary movie it failed to impress me really sort of boring. after breaking out of a mental hospital to go home for christmas. The killer goes on killing spree at a collage sorority house full of girls, because the girls …

When Harry Met Sally
Yes, I know, I know: for some reason, many folks have agreed that this movie is great. Wonderful. Almost a classic… Beats me why. I watched it a couple of days ago and found it very average.
Sally and Harry meet for the first time as college students, then life …
Movie The Re-Animator
The The Re-Animator is a twisted and very gory movie. This movie shows you what classic horror was all about. It has death, zombies, and very crazy experiments done in the The Re-Animator’s lab. The movie has a very spooky and sad feel to it. You get the feeling …
