The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …

The Princess and The Frog (2009), a Disney’s Movie
I grew up watching Disney’s movies like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, and I remember quite well that I enjoyed ever movie. So that when I saw the trailer of this movie, The Princess and The Frog, I couldn’t help to immediately recall the childhood of mine while …
Taking Lives
This movie, Taking Lives is another one acted by Angie which I’ve watched. Angie played an officer or rather an agent; the FBI type and she embarks on a very challenging case which is to investigate a brutal murder. She is actually not on the case, but her …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …
The Count of Monte Cristo (movie 2002)
A simple man is framed by his best friend and ends up in prison for 13 years. While in prison he befriends a priest with knowledge of hidden treasure. Digging tunnels to make an escape, it turns tragic when the tunnel roof collapses on the priest. Using the death …
2fast 2furious
2fast 2furious is a lot better in my opinion than the first and third installment, this particular movie had a better story line which captured the viewer a lot more than the other two, the scenes were better directed and the cars seemed a lot better. The grafics areamazing …
Shrek II
Just when you thought Shrek couldn\’t get any funnier, they add Puss in Boots and mutant babies. Shrek remains as ogre-ish as ever, Fiona the classic, or not so classic, princess, and Donkey is just as hilariously annoying as in the first movie.
An invitation to the kingdom of Far …
Open Season (movie)
Our family went to see Open Season today and were pleasantly surprised. The cast of animated characters all had fun personalities and meshed well together. We found it charming, funny and thought it gave a satisfying ending.
Debra Messing, Martin Lawrence, Billy Connolly and Ashton Kutcher supplied some of the …
Parker (2013 movie)
I just got around to watching Parker after waiting around for quite a while since its announcement. Anyways, I’m a big fan of Jason Statham films and so this one is no exception and is a must watch for me. However, after watching it, I find that this really …
Shrek
I don’t know if it was Toy Story or Shrek that ushered in the age of the animated feature. I know Toy Story came first, but it seems to me that Toy Story showed filmmakers what was possible in the new age of computer animation. The people behind Shrek …
Wait Until Dark: A Film by Terence Young, 1967
For most of Audrey Hepburn’s onscreen career, romantic films helped to greatly define her image as a beguiling female lead. It is why I feel a strong interest in seeing her other exclusive portrayals outside that “frivolous bubble,” yet all the while entertaining, of girl-falls-in-love flicks; I want …
Zombie Holocaust (1980)
Starring: Ian McCulloch, Alexandra Delli Colli, Sherry Buchanan, Peter O’Neal, Donald O’Brien, Dakkar, and Walter Patriarca.
Directed by: Marino Girolami.
If you want a bad zombie movie, you just found one. “Zombie Holocaust” is a cult flick much like “Night of the Zombies”, “The Beyond”, and “Zombi 2″, all of which were …
Sophie’s Choice, film
Sophie’s Choice is a drama film about love, friendship, and family starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter Macnicol. Alan J.

Center Stage Movie
I had watched this movie for the first time and my first thought was like, where did these people come from? The next thought that followed was that, why aren’t they famous, they should be! Upon watching Center Stage, this is the perfect movie for ballerinas, may the be …
Shutter movie
When we rented the film Shutter this weekend I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I knew it was a remake of another film made in Asia somewhere and, while some movies (like The Ring) translate out to be terrifying. Others (like the Grudge) aren’t nearly as good.
With Shutter, …
Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon movie
With the Parent Trap III movie bringing in good ratings for the Walt Disney company, another movie was done the same year called Parent Trap: Hawaiian Honeymoon. With Susan now married to Jeffrey Wyatt, the family travels together to Hawaii for the honeymoon. Strange, odd even, but …
Bells of Saint Mary’s
I am reviewing the movie, The Bells of Saint Mary’s, starring Bing Crosby. This movie follows the lives of some nuns and Father O’Malley. This movie is the sequel to its prequel, Going My Way. Father O’Malley enters Saint Mary’s with the purpose to get the building condemned. …
Movie Kiss the Girls

“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I never saw the trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I only saw it’s poster on the cinema hall at the mall. So I was a bit apprehensive about watching it. I mean, I couldn’t think of any interesting story that is related to making it rain …

Crazy Love (2007)
This movie-like documentary story of the crazy love sensational between Linda Riss and Burt Pugach, is still well known up to this date. My parents know about it, my siblings and now me. The summer of 1959, this horrific incident took the nation by storm with all …
He’s Just Not That Into You
My husband and I saw this movie last weekend. We went to a Sunday matinee and the theatre was PACKED! The theatre was full of mostly girls, but my husband didn’t mind too much. This is definitely a chick flick.
The cast was great. I especially loved Ginnifer Goodwin and …
Miami Blues (1990)
Alec Baldwin stars as a crazed serial psychopath in this movie surrounded by lots of high risk robbery scenes. Through the entire movie, Alec’s character goes around mugging people and stealing their personal belongings without regret. He happens to mug a police officer and steal his fire arm, badge …
Confessions of a Shopoholic
When I first saw the movie “Confessions of a Shopoholic” advertising to be released in theatres, I did not pay it any attention since it seemed like a silly little comedy; but when I did get to watch it some time ago, I realised that it was actually a …
What Lies Beneath
My daughter loves horror movies and convinced me to rent What Lies Beneath. She said it was a good movie, but I am not a huge fan of horror films. I decided to give it a try anyway. She wanted to watch it, so why not. I rented the …
When A Stranger Calls (2006) movie
When a Stranger Calls is a suspense thriller that really was a waste of time. Not even scary in the least and everyone knows what exactly is going to happen.
The basis of this story is incredibly simple. There is a high school girl who is babysitting for a …
The Reader movie
The best way to describe the movie —˜The Reader’ is a very moving film which tackles emotions and sentiments in a unique way. It is no wonder that there were many actresses who wanted to interpret the main female role such as Nicole Kidman, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard and …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
Mighty Joe Young
This movie came out quite a few years ago. My mother just bought it for my younger sister. She loves animals and loves movies. So she really enjoyed this movie. It’s about a gorilla. I think it’s a great movie overall. The acting is good, the story is good, …
Cars movie
Cars was a very funny and cool movie. I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I think that this movie was great. I though the little cars with faces looked really cute and were really cool. I also thought that the cars were very nice. I liked the voices and …
Mean Girls: Bullying and Not Taking it Seriously
New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …
Boogie Nights
When I saw the movie “Boogie Nights” on the television guide, I used to think that it was probably a movie from the nineteen seventies starring the American actor John Travolta. However, recently I realised that I was actually confusing the movie with another movie named Saturday Night Fever …
Wild Card, Movie
Wild Card is the latest offering from Jason Statham, and sees him once again partnered with director Simon West. This movie is much more low key than the soon to be released Furious 7, but it does boast a respectable cast (including Stanley Tucci and Michael Angarano amongst others) as …
The Craft (movie)
I couldn’t get enough of this movie when it came out back in 1996. I was drawn to the magic of the special effects, the brilliant acting skills of Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, Rachel True, and Fairuza Balk was what made the movie what it is today.
The story begins …
Richard Scarry Videos
My little cousin loves watching Richard Scarry Videos so much, that I tend to buy him 1 or 2 videos whenever I see one. These videos are very educational, and they have songs and themes as well.
For instance, I love watching with my little cousin the ones where …
Wall-E Movie Bluray
I am doing a review of the movie Wall-E in Bluray format.
Here are just a few things that I really loved about this movie that I think make it worth getting:

The Break-Up movie
Doing romantic movies when your love life is in full turmoil must be pretty tough. I believe that “The Break-Up” represent this aspect to the actress, Jennifer Aniston. On the set of this movie, she meets the actor, Vince Vaughn and for a short while they had a relationship …
The Dark Knight
Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
Christian Bale was an interesting choice for this part. He did a better job as Batman than I thought he would. But I actually thought Michael Keaton made a …
Reptilicus movie
A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …
Sister Kenny movie
Rosalind Russell excels as Sister Kenny, a somewhat controversial Australian nun who came up with a treatment for polio. Based on the true story, this movie tells Elizabeth Kenny’s story of how she came upon a child with polio and began to treat her. It was the …
Death of a Ghost Hunter
One of the movies we ended up watching this past weekend was one called “Death of a Ghost Hunter.” My wife and I like the television series “Ghost Hunters” and I figured this movie would be close to that in terms of plot and would be halfway interesting.
I was …

The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …
