The Bonfire Of The Vanities Movie
After reading the book The Bonfire Of The Vanities by Tom Wolfe, I was eager to see the film adaptation. However after watching it I wish I never bothered. The book describes the racial tension of New York in the 1980s and …
AT&T Wireless
Its been maybe 2 or 3 years since I’ve had another wireless service other than AT&T. Some use to always say that a not so good signal was the result of cell phone type, I don’t think thats the case, it is the result of having the right cellphone …
Pete’s Dragon
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pete’s Dragon. Pete is a little boy who lives with a terrible family. He’s an orphan. He runs away. He has a friend, though…a big, gigantic, green one. His friend happens to be a dragon named Elliot, and Elliot helps him escape from …
Good Boy movie
My sister loves to watch this movie. She watches it a lot, almost every day. I kind of get sick of watching it to tell you the truth. I think it is more of a kid’s movie than for anyone. I think that it is kind of childish.
It’s …
The Vanished Murderer (Suspense Crime Action Thriller)
I guess I am on a marathon of Jiang Yiyan’s movies. I’ve previously mentioned why I became a fan of her and I won’t repeat myself here again.
A thing I realized about her movies is that, she usually has very interesting roles but the movie itself is always lacking somehow. …
Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one of my cartoon collections. I love the story so much and I got entertained watching it. I love how the story was made. It was a story of a real parental love. As a watcher I find it a very meaningful animation story. I have …
Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …
Along Came a Spider
From 2001, Along Came a Spider starred Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, a profiler who takes a long leave after his partner is killed during a case gone bad. Months after the event, he is drawn into the kidnapper of a senator’s young daughter. He ends up …
Movie : XII (2008 Slasher Movie)
Oh how I love watching the occasional slasher flick. Sometimes it’s great to just sit back and not have to follow any deep story-lines and just enjoy the show, and when I watched XII the other day I certainly did enjoy the show.
There is a plot of course, …
Movie Beowulf (2007)
This movie surprised me a bit when I saw it for the first time, maybe the disturbing regular nudity of the hero more than anything… anyway..phallic fixations, parent-child problems and low passions, is the new adaptation of the epic poem. Being the third adaptation of the story of “Beowulf” …
Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season
I have a complete first season DVD of The Wonder Woman. Yes, it is true and please do not laugh for I love this show pretty much while it was broadcast on the TV channels a couple years back.
It is especially fun to watch this DVD with my group …
Juno (R, 2007) movie
Wow, I really really loved this movie. I knew that any movie starring Ellen Page would be a really good film. The first movie that I saw her in was Hard Candy, a really brutal film about a child molester who meets up with this …
Fallen movie
A demon tells the story of how it was almost killed by a self-righteous police detective played by Denzel Washington. This demon travels through people by touch and becomes more powerful if his host dies, then he can take over basically any host. The demon Azazel claims to have …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I love movies! Especially movies about spies! They’re so action packed, so cool and the spies themselves are so hot! Well most of them are. That was my first impression when I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s trailer for the first time. I was totally blown away!
The plot is …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Okay so before I’ve ever seen any Harry Potter movies I’ve always read the book first. Half Blood Prince is the first Harry Potter movie I’ve watched without reading the book before, and it granted a different experience. The thing is I heard so many Harry Potter fans complaining …
Haunting Sarah
This is one of my favorite lifetime movies. I watched a while ago and it was on again just the other day. It’s about these sisters who both have children, one of the children passes away and starts to haunt Sarah, who was best friends with the young boy. …
Titanic
The movie Titanic when it came out was a force to be reckoned with. I was about fifteen and all the girls at my school were going nuts over it. They even went to see it over eight times.
I myself was never that devoted but when I …

Dead Like Me: In Escrow
I pretty much like this particularly episode of Dead Like Me. It’s called In Escrow and deals with the Lass home, which has been on the market. Linda, the realtor, calls and says someone wants to buy the house, so now they go into escrow.
Teryl Rothery plays …
Breakup movie
Not only is breaking up hard to do, but it’s hard to make a movie about something so intricately complicated as the ending of love. And yet, oftentimes the ending of a relationship doesn’t mean the ending of love. Seen in this movie is such an ending. The relationship …
Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
Divorce His - Divorce Hers Part 2 movie
The second part of Divorce His - Divorce Hers is focused on the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor, who appeared in this TV movie with her husband at the time, Richard Burton. This was their last on screen movie together, which makes it a bit sorrowful when you consider the …
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I finally got a chance to watch the final Star Wars Prequel, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. And, while I was impressed by the special effects and the fighting, I was seriously disappointed at the movies failure to carry over seamlessly into the original Trilogy.
Set roughly 20 years …

Kojak: Flowers for Matty movie
I rarely watched Kojak when it was a regular series on CBS. I’m not intrigued by Telly Savalas, who played the role, and I wasn’t a particular fan of the detective, either. I did find myself somewhat into this 1990 post-series movie. Kojak: Flowers for Matty …
Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …

Troop Beverly Hills movie
I can’t believe I haven’t yet reviewed this wonderful comedy called Troop Beverly Hills which starred Shelley Long as Phyllis Nefler and Craig T. Nelson as her wayward husband, the muffler man otherwise known as Freddy Nefler. This movie wasn’t a critical success, but to me, it’s a …

Amelie (romantic comedy movie)
After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.
The movie revolves around the very peculiar …
Alvin and the Chipmunks movie
I hated this movie so much for many different reasons. One of the main ones was that I expected that they would have made a better movie for it being that “Alvin and the Chipmunks” cartoons would come on local tv on Saturday mornings and it was one of …

Friends sitcom
I’m not quite sure just how many seasons this show was on but surely too many. For me it’s really boring to follow what is happening to the same group of six people for so many years. One thing is for sure, initially, it was quite a good show …

Pan’s Labyrinth

Happy Feet is a great little movie. I believe it is great for the young and old. That makes a cartoon movie good. If you can sit there as an adult with your child and enjoy the movie as much as your child. YAY!
