One of my top ten movies that I watched this year so far has been the one named “Captain Phillips”. The thing about this movie though was that when I first saw the trailer advertising in late 2013 it didn’t really hold my interest enough for me to think …

Holiday Inn is an adorable holiday movie, and the fun part is that it can be a part of almost any holiday of your choosing! The movie is about a small inn that is only open on holidays, and on those special days, the inn puts on a …

This movie premiered on The Disney Channel in 1988, but it is still one of the best movies that was ever shown on that network. Thirteen year Inge Dournenvald and Lise Mueller are best friends in Vienna, Austria. This is an amazing thing, because it is 1938, …

You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …

It is a very rare situation that I cannot finish watching a movie. Especially a British one, and especially related to British classic authors. However, this is what happened with this one; I had surprised myself by being unable to finish even the first episode.
It is hard to say …

The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …

After watching Barefoot I have come to the conclusion that I should recommend this film to all the comedy drama romance flick lovers. Directed by Andrew Fleming, the director of Nancy Drew and other well-known comedy drama films, Barefoot really carried me away into some outlandish fantasy. Scott Speedman …

This movie is a musical based on the love shared between a writer and a cabaret actress. How quaint that most musicals encompass the same thing. This movie, while it did manage to grasp quite a few nominations for Oscars, only managed to scrape through with winning only two …

From the man that brought us the Austin Powers movies comes a new kind of comedy. Well Baby Mama isn’t really a new kind of movie; it is a comedy movie that has two leading ladies and no one else. Baby Mama might be the best movie from both …

I watched “Little Black Book” because I read the story of the film and thought that it was a good movie, however it ended up not to deliver what was expected. The script could have been improved much more in order to let the actresses, Brittany Murphy and Holly …

I will open by saying that “Basquiat” is a terrific film, in every way you could name. The performances, by an all-star ensemble cast, are nearly flawless, the direction and visual composition of the film mirrors the personal, intense nature of its subject’s art, and the soundtrack covers a …

I’ve honestly never sat down to watch Lifetime movies before. But, after seeing the movie Girl Positive, I think I’ll be doing that more often.
At first, I didn’t know what to think about the movie, which is meant to be an honest portrayal of how the HIV virus can …

I had a really tough time getting through Terrence Malick’s well-known film The Tree of Life when it was released. The first time I watched it I didn’t lasted for 15 minutes. I immediately turned it off because I thought it was nothing but a pretentious show-off. I kept hearing …

Another fun-filled family adventure movie is here; from the makers of the Ice Age series and Rio, Epic feels to me like a magical combination of The Borrowers and Fern Gulley. I found myself being transported back to my childhood when I would have watched such films. However I …

First thing’s first. If you love foreign films, you must check this film out. If you don’t like foreign film’s, especially if it’s because you don’t like to read and watch movies at the same time, you must learn to read and watch and then check this …

This was a very slow movie that I did not enjoy. The film is about a crew of asbestos removal men who are hired to clean up an old insane asylum that was shut down around 15 years before. My major complaints about this film are that …

The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a rather well known motion picture from 1952 that starred Gregory Peck as Harry Street, Susan Hayward as Helen, and Ava Gardner as Cynthia Green. Also in the film is The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’s Leo G. Carroll as Uncle Bill. I actually …

I watched Wise Girls the other day and I was surprised that this is a pretty good story with a rather interesting plot. Mira Sorvino stars as Meg and with 2 other actresses, they play the role of a waitress and it’s quite scary to think of it because …

You will probably notice how much I love this movie through my pen name.I bought each DVD before, and then after the final movie i have decided that I should purchased the complete Lord of the rings limited edition DVD package. This is like a definitely-must have to all …

When I heard that the Transformers was going to be made into a movie, I was so looking forward to it. I was in grade school during the 80’s when the cartoons became so popular on TV. There were even toys sold everywhere for every character. I wondered how …

“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …

Everyone wishes they could go back in time to straighten out family disfunctions. But as this movie shows, if you aren’t too careful, things could turn out worse than before.
This tight, well written script by Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who teamed up previously on 1941, was a joy …

I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …

The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …

The way people were hyping the movie made me very excited to see it. I was ready for a movie with wall to wall laughs, and a great story, like a Finding Nemo. What I got was a few laughs and a lackluster story, in my opinion. …

I just went to see the horror movie “Amusement” three days ago and let me tell you, it SUCKS!!!
I mean, I didn’t even know what happened when the movie was over!! There were no really scary parts that made me jump, which I like in a movie. I really …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14 was a funny episode in its own way. It talks about falling in love at first sight. It would be hard to believe though that anyone would truly fall in love at first sight with a holodeck character though. However maybe in …

I finally watched She’s Out of My League last night. I’ve seen the movie trailer and behind the scenes stuff at HBO a couple of months ago and I liked it. It’s one of the romantic comedy movies that you see, have a few laughs and then totally …

I am reviewing the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was made back in the 1960s. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. This movie remains to be my mother’s favorite and my favorite movie ever. There is just something …

We went to see the movie Flushed Away this past weekend. There were two adults and a 12 year old boy. I went in with the intention of seeing a comedy, not knowing it was more of an adventure movie. It was a nice family film with a few …

Basket Case is an old movie from the year 1982. This movie is of course kind of cheesy and funny. Yet it is also scary, and kind of bloody. I think the old horror movies like Basket Case were a lot scarier, than the movies they make these days. …

I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …

We have just finished watching “Bleak House,” the almost 7 hour long adaptation of one of the 900+ pages long masterpieces by Charles Dickens. It was the 1985 mini-series version starring Diana Rigg as Lady Deadlock and Denholm Elliott as John Jarndyce, the kind-hearted gentleman entangled in a terrible, …

Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, directed by Kevin Reynolds is Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America, and stars Kevin Costner as Robin of Locksley, Morgan Freeman as Azeem, Mary Elizabeth Masterantonio as Marian Dubois, Christian Slater as Will Scarlett and Alan Rickman as The Sheriff of …

Oh how I love these kind of movies…. You know, the ones that spoof genres and imitate many films at the same time. Examples of these are ones like SCARY MOVIE, DANCE FLICK, THE NAKED GUN, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE etc… One of the main reasons I like these …

The third installation of the Robocop saga continues with a new character playing Robocop, I guess that the original guy got totally fed up of the whole thing and decided that it was no longer in his best interest to continue playing the cyborg police officer. In this movie, …

What would you do, if you could access 100% of your brain? This question is taken to the next level, in this unbelievable action thriller, Limitless. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. Going in to this movie, I had no idea what to expect, but after I watched …

This movie has got to be one of the most distracting, annoying, over developed, load of crap that I have ever had the torture of watching in my entire life. From the opening scene, even though things started off pretty and grand, it made a very hasty effort to …

This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …
