Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.
That wasn’t the case with the movie Awake. That’s because you have a good combination of thriller and mystery.
Hayden Christensen plays a …

I’ll be coming as a viewer who hasn’t read the book series by Joseph Delaney but after having seen the movie, I’ll be buying a copy of book 1 of the series.

I thought the movie had potential if only it was handled better. The SFX was good enough not …

John Q is a movie for today. It’s relevant to the ongoing struggles of a world where so many are down on their luck and having a hard time just putting food on the table for their families. It’s a movie that shows what good and decent …

For the first time in my life, I have never watched a movie that is so depressing. I had never gotten over it until after a day when I’ve watched it. I really felt for the old men in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross which was filmed …

My wife decided to have a night out with her friends Friday night and, since I was left home with the kids, I decided to take advantage of it and spend some quality time with my two girls.
My youngest was in bed shortly after my wife left (she gets …

When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …

The first time I ever watched this movie I did so rather tongue-in-cheek - simply because my mother had recommended it and my mother and I do not have the same taste in movies! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is a bit of an understatement.
The story …

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, …

“Fracture” is a 2007 color movie from New Line Cinema and Castlerock Entertainment lasting 113 minutes. Normally I’m a big fan of Castlerock that often produces movies that have some connection to Stephen King such as “Hearts in Atlantis” starring Anthony Hopkins and based on the book by King …

Chances Are is a clever; engaging movie. It originates from the same movie pool of other movies involving rebirth of the soul; in a new physique. It demonstrates clearly the fact that movies are not tales but more precisely that they are about storytelling. In other …

The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is one of the series of J.K. Rowling’s 7 series of Harry Potter Saga. Each and every one of them is the world’s best movie ever. I love The Philosopher’s Stone and all of her other movie. You can’t deny that it’s great …

I didn’t know exactly what to expect at first. I like vampire films and was quite anxious about this one. The Daybreakers is about a society in which vampires are the majority and humans are the minority. In fact, the government has begun to “farm” human …

The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …

I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …

My son and I went to see the movie “Stop Loss” last evening and this is the first anti war movie that I have seen since the tragic events of 9/11. We saw this move at Arundel Mills Malls, in Hanover Maryland
This movie deals with a young soldier who …

“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …

After the fourth movie, I was convinced that the “Paranormal Activity” franchise was dead. I liked the first two, but after that, the formula wore thin and they didn’t have anything new to bring to the table.
Enter this “spin-off” that follows another family as they are …

One of the great things about 1950s monster movies is you can always expect some sort of mutant creature created by radiation.
The movie Them! is definitely a perfect example of movies like that.
Overall, Them is an Ok movie. It’s really not that scary or even suspensful. But, what it …

I finally got an opportunity to see the classic musical Bye Bye Birdie. While I normally enjoy movies like this one, I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed.
The plot of the musical isn’t bad. You have a famous singer who has been drafted and is heading off to …

Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …

The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …

Independence Day, Wild. Wild West, Men in Black, I Robot, I legend. Main ingredient Will Smith plus flat imagination, lots of special effects. I fell asleep, I felt ripped off. There were dramatic moderately high points in the movie. The scripts were not original, Smith …

I watched I Could Never Be Your Woman and I think that Michelle Pfeiffer is a very good actress despite her age. She plays a woman with a daughter and this is actually a very nice movie, if you watch it and give it a chance.
Paul Rudd …

A great relationship movie from a mastermind named Tyler Perry. The focus is on four couples who have been great friends for years. This movie touches on a lot of topics regarding men and woman alike, the struggles that each go through in finding themselves, the bridges they must …

I watched this film recently on DVD, mainly because it’s British and I love British film, but also because it stars Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas, both brilliant actors. Rowan Atkinson plays a vicar (again) and is very believable in the part, showing no Mr Bean style goofiness …

The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …

We watched the movie 21 tonight. I think it’s cool that it was based on a true story. Can you imagine how smart those kids had to be? It just blows my mind!
I think the movie does a great job of showing just what greed can get you. And …

I was a little hesitant to watch the movie “Still Alice” because I thought that a story about someone experiencing early onset Alzheimer’s Disease was bound to be too frightening and depressing for me. The idea of losing myself and my memory especially at a young age is one of …

Sissy Spacek and Henry Winkler star in this movie called Katherine. The story is actually based on the experiences of a woman named Diana Oughton, whose parents were wealthy and big names in their region.
I actually ended up researching this a little and reading more about Oughton. …

Do you remember when you went trick or treating and got something good in your pumpkin? Like a full size Snickers or Reese peanut butter cup? Well Rob Zombie’s latest Halloween is more like a stick of cheap gum - the sweetness only lasts for so long. …

As a child, I was fascinated with the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, and years later, I enjoyed reading it to my own kids. I didn’t have an excuse to see the movie, and I had thought about asking one of my friends’ children to accompany me, …

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 …

Are you a big fan of Sex and the City? Which character from Sex and the City that you like most? Besides Carrie Bradshaw, the main lead, I always give my two thumbs up for Samantha Jones for her confidence, independence and her bravery in sexual life.
Samantha Jones is …

This movie, which features Tim Allen, John Travolta, and Martin Lawrence, was very popular in the theatres, which was part of why I decided to go see it.

The story goes: four …
