The Karate Kid (2010)
I’m not really much of a karate fan. The word karate sent my thoughts to Asia where these bunch of really flexible asians start kicking some sorry guys’ ass and while they’re at it, they utter a lot of chinese that would make me go, “what the efff are …
Michael Clayton
I can not portray how thoroughly disappointed I was in this movie. I very rarely get my husband to watch anything that is Oscar nominated. After watching this movie it will be a very long time before I get him to watch anything like that again. The plot …
Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.
“Georgia Rule” deals …
Movie Hitch
“Hitch” represents Will Smith’s attempt at romantic fiction and, may I add, not a bad attempt at all! This movie meant a lot for the actors, Eva Mendez and Kevin James because afterwards they received more challenging roles.
In this movie, we see how Smith stars as Alex ‘Hitch’ Hitchens …
The Contract (R, 2006) movie
Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …

The Forth Kind film
I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.

Unfortunately, the second movie …

Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …
Watch Berserk Now! (anime)
And, the top pick of over 100 anime series is…

Doom (2005)

Clueless with Alicia Silverstone
This film is definitely a chick flick. And not only that, it’s definitely for high school girls. While it was made quite a few years ago, it’s still funny to think about the two girls and their interesting perspectives on life and what is important in life. Especially for …
Blades of Glory
I watched Blades of Glory the other night, and I am a little on the edge about what to think about it. This movie is about two proffessional ice skaters who cannot get along, because of the level of competition. When that competition gets in the way …
Aliens (1986)
Ripley returns to fight off an army of aliens, but this time she’s backed up by a whole host of gun toting hombres.

Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.

The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)

The Christmas Wish (2003 DVD)

1408 a great horror movie.

Saw IV movie

Mean Girls
Ugh. I hate the title for this movie even more than I hate the movie itself. And what surprises me is the amount of parents that let their kids watch something with the title ‘Mean Girls’. It’s not such an awful movie; I guess. It’s your typical high school …
Final Destination Movie
“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.
The movie is about a …
