An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
Alice in Wonderland movie
Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
Finding Dory (2016 Animated Film)
The fact that most sequels nowadays fail to grasp the success of their predecessors is just pure tragic. The world needs fresh ideas, or perhaps an innovation of original stories sequels are based to. But few filmmakers understood that, so instead of getting rave reviews from everyone, they are mostly …

The Spongebob Squarepants movie is a film based on the Spongebob Squarepants show .In the beginning of the film sponge bob opes that he will e promoted to manager of a new Krusty Krab restaurant that’s opening up.his dream is crushed when his coworker Squidward, is made manager instead …
Don’t Breathe - Horror Movie (2016)
When it comes to horror movies, I’ve been disappointed by the garbage churned out over the past decade. Most horror movies draw up on the cliches that were once innovative at the start of the decade. However, Don’t Breathe stands out for all the right reasons. It’s definitely a scary …
Room (2015 Film)
Personally, I consider a film to be great if it had any impact towards me after watching it. These films are very rare. I love films when I see them simply because I don’t have time for bad movies. I look for recommendations, I look for ratings and I look …
Bowling for Columbine documentary
Bowling for Columbine is a documentary about the violence in the United States, which primarily focuses on the school shooting that took place at Columbine High School in Colorado. The title is a sarcastic explanation for why the two teens did what they did, blaming the bowling class they …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
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 …
Cold Storage movie 2006
I rented the movie Cold Storage because I am a fan of horror films. Even the bad ones can sometimes yield some humor so I rarely bother to read reviews before I choose them. This film was made in 2006 and set in Tennessee. I will start by …
Showgirls movie
Showgirls is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. A lot of critics disagree and call this one of the worst movies ever made. But the movie has become a cult classic now. I love the movie because it’s one of the only mainstream movies to have lots …
Father of the Bride 2
Father of the bride 2 is the sequel to the movie Father of the bride. It is a good movie and is very entertaining one. Though it is not as good as the first movie it is good nevertheless. It has some good performances by Steve Martin and Diane …
The Last Laugh movie
F.W. Murnau was one of the most inventive filmmakers of the late silent era, completing a number of most original pieces of film history. Sadly his career was way to short as he died at a young age, but he did have time to put his mark on cinema …
Ghost Rider (UR, 2007) movie
I typically do not like comic book films. But I will admit that this little movie starring Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider won me over with little effort. What I liked in particular was the way his transformation into the Ghost Rider was filmed. …
Ed Wood movie
Tim Burton’s lovely portrait of the bizarre director Ed Wood comes to life with an amazing Johnny Depp in the leading role and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi. I don’t know if everything in this film is the truth, but it sure is very convincing and enjoyable, much thanks …
Mash the movie
The movie MASH is a classic and has only been outdone by the television series that spun off from it. It’s one of the best war movies ever made.
The movie has just the right amount of comedy and drama to be enjoyable to everyone who watches it, both young …
Love Me or Leave Me movie
This picture, Love Me or Leave Me, is one of Doris Day’s most dramatic roles, and she soars in it. It’s a bit of a dark picture as the movie attempts to tell an account of singer Ruth Etting’s life. Etting was quite successful but also dealt …
The Lost Boys (1987)
When you talk about a true vampire movie in all its essence then you have to think about one of the best vampire movies of all time and that is Lost Boys. When a family gets accidentally involved with a band of vampires they must fight for their lives. …

The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
Wild hogs
Whoever decided to cast a “buddy” movie with Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence & William H Macy as the co-starring friends was truely inspired. Sometimes when you have too much talent it can backfire, but these four pulled it off really well.
Scrubs John McGinley has a …
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …
Lone Star movie
I’ve heard about Lone Star, but I’ve never been tempted to watch it. However, a friend sent it to me recently, so I figured I’d sit down and see how it was. There was actually a lead in to this with comments that intrigued me. Thus, …
Bedtime Stories movie
I’m not as big of an Adam Sandler fan as I used to be. This is mostly because his movies always seem to rehash basically the same plot and some of the films are so terrible I can’t get through 10 minutes.
But, we decided to pick up Bedtime Stories …
Movie War of the Worlds (2005)
Even though War of the Worlds is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it very much, I was not happy with the fact that Tom Cruise played the leading role. I did not think the character of Ray Ferrier was portrayed as believable and may have been better …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …
The Wave movie
A corny film usually screened in schools about a teacher on a high school trying to figure out an effective way of making his students understand what it was like living in Germany during World War II and how easily people are corrupted into things they don’t really want …
Movie Jeremiah Johnson
Jeremiah Johnson from 1972 is all Robert Redford. He’s a man who tires of the city and the worst parts of society. He wants peace, and he finds it in the mountains. He’s a greenhorn, though, and it’s not until he meets Bear Claw, played by …
Barn Yard
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I just did not know what to expect from Otis and the hill surfing to the motorcycle ride back to the farm. I think and fell that each character brought that little extra something that every film needs. The twist and turns …
Machete Kills movie
Machete Cortez returns triumphantly to the screen in the second movie about the former elite agent of the Mexican special forces, who lives a modest life as an illegal immigrant in the United States.
Holding firmly in his hand the sharp Mexican weapon (presented this time in various technologically advanced …
Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
V for Vendetta movie
When I first heard about “V for Vendetta” I was sceptical of whether or not the Wachowski brothers would be able to pull out a quality movie after their not so astounding Matrix Revolutions. As the movie release date approached I watched more and more movie trailers, as …
War Horse (2011 film)
It’s the time of the year when film companies campaign for their best movies before the Oscars. I looked everywhere in the weekend papers as well as online finding the distracting line ‘for your consideration.’ Although I was not the intended target for those ads, I considered …
Hangman
I watched this movie called hangman a couple of years ago on lifetime. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It had a good story to it and a good plot to it. The acting was good and it kept me interested. It entertained me throughout the whole movie. …
American Gun
I was a bit surprised that I did not hear about this movie when it was being released in theatres. However, I realised later that it was probably because I was a bit busy at the time. I thought that this movie had some fairly good acting in it …
Sky high movie
“Sky high” is an awesome movie, especially for kids. It is a story of a school of “superheroes”. I saw this movie few days back, and I really liked this movie, it is a very sweet story, and it has everything starting from high school romance, rivalry, raging, and …
For Colored Girls (2010 Film)
I remember running across the movie title “For Colored Girls” on the internet movie database one evening. When viewing the list of people included in the movie, I was instantly intrigued because each main actress in the movie was a familiar face and known to be good.
For Colored …
National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age
We randomly picked a movie to watch on our netflix player last night and ended up with National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age. When we started watching it, I figured it would be like that old movie Caveman, which was funny but pretty lame. It turns out Caveman was a …
No Country For Old Men (2007)
If you are not careful and of sound mind, you will miss what this movie is actually saying. You might even have to watch it on more than one occasion to get the real meaning behind it. Here is what this movie gives and you are going to have …
Meet the Parents
Meet the Parents was a great and very funny movie. I really liked this film and it made me laugh a lot. I think the best thing about the film is that Ben Stiller was in it. I never even knew who this guy was until I saw Meet the …
Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
Taare Zameen Par
Taare Zameen Par is perhaps the greatest bollywood movie that I have ever watched. It is a movie about a little boy, Ishaan, who is dyslexic, but his parents fail to realise this. As the story progresses you cannot help but laugh at all of the mischief …
Fred Claus
I watched “Fred Claus” today with my family. It was an overall pretty good movie. I wouldn’t give it a ten or anything but it is worth watching, especially around the holidays and Christmas. It has Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamitti, Kevin Spacey, and Kathy Bates. You would think with …
Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …
The Hangover
I was fortunate enough to see the new movie the Hangover in the movie theatre while it was still in theaters. I saw it with my boyfriend and I must admit, it was the perfect date movie. It is perfect only if you are looking for a very light, …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.3: The Turk
The series seems to be taking an interesting direction now. It turns out that one of Dyson’s (the original Skynet creator in “Terminator 2″) interns at Cyberdyne Systems, Andy, is a new lead surrounding Skynet’s creation. He’s now a cell phone salesman (a terrible one at that) but at …
Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella
A few months ago, my daughter watched the Veggie Tale movie Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hair Brush. She liked it so much, she wanted me to order it through Netflix for her again.
However, I came across the sequel to that movie, Minnesota Cuke and the Search …
A Valentine Carol (2007 Movie)
In an intriguing spinoff, A Valentine Carol is a Valentine’s Day version of the movie, A Christmas Carol. Of course, in A Valentine’s Carol, the main character must go through different Valentine’s Days in her past and future.
While I found this movie fun and watchable, it wasn’t very …
