Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
Kingsman: The Secret Service (action adventure spy movie)
Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of those movies that I just knew I had to see right after watching the trailer for the first time. The trailer gave me the impression that the movie would be funny, action-packed and overall exciting. When I did actually get the chance to …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, in my calm, objecive opinion, was the worst piece of trash I have ever had the misfortune of buying a ticket to see. Many people have trashed Daniel Craig as the …
Happy Feet
I have watched the movie ‘Happy Feet’. This is a very nice movie. This movie is about penguins. The story line is good. There is a penguin couple in Antarctica. This couple gives birth to a male penguin.
This male penguin is very much different from the other penguins …
X - Men 3 (movie)
Last night, my husband and I rented the third X Men movie on demand. I rarely praise movies or feel like they would be good enough to acutally go and see in the theater, but I must admit, I was really impressed with this movie. I think …

The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …
Palookaville movie
Three male friends get bored with their everyday lives and all of a sudden decides to rob a bank. But not too unexpected, something doesn’t fall out as they would have hoped for.
I didn’t find this film uplifting or refreshing in any certain way. Mostly it’s just a copy …
The Notebook
This movie that I’ve watched before, The Notebook is really bittersweet and if you are thinking of watching it on DVD, make sure that you have your tissues standby for it’s a real sad story and bittersweet, as I’ve mentioned.
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are the off screen …
Angry Beavers
“Angry Beavers” was a Nickelodeon cartoon which used to air on the channel Nickelodeon in the late nineteen nineties, and the early 2000s. When I first discovered it though, I didn’t watch it because I found the cartoon annoying despite the fact that at the time I had not …
Movie: Shutter Island
It has been a while since I actually watched a psycho thriller. Psycho thrillers are weird, crazy and scary, but I enjoy them a lot! Last week, I finally got my hands on a DVD copy of Shutter Island and I was oozing with curiosity with just what is …

The Color Purple by Steven Spielberg
I never thought that I would ever cry watching a movie. Nevertheless it happened when I see The Color Purple with Whoopie Goldberg and Danny Glover. The movie features a young black girl at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Slavery has long …
Movie: The Wizard of Oz
We didn’t really plan on watching any movies tonight as a family; mainly because we plan on going to church in the morning and wanted the kids in bed early. However, shortly before bed time, the movie Wizard of Oz came on. And, even though it wasn’t planned, I …
Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …
George Romero’s Land of The Dead
This is a very underrated movie. Most zombie movies are all about gore and blood. This movie isn’t just a typical zombie movie though. In this movie, the zombies get smart and start to adapt. They begin living as if they were still alive, establishing communities of the living …
Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride movie
For me, the bride in Perry Mason: The Case of the Heartbroken Bride was too pouty and snooty, even though we know she’s innocent because Perry is defending her. I just didn’t like her look. In fact, the entire opening bit at the wedding of Perry’s old …

The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
Angels and Demons the Movie
I was really excited to watch this movie because of the trailer and because I was unable to finish that book. Instead of going through the pages again, I decided to watch this film instead.
First of all, the film is not dragging so it is a plus point for …

Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
Trade (R, 2007) movie
Trade is a film which is based on real events that have been apparently taking place for years. The movie itself was derived from a 2004 article on the sex trafficking trade which exists on the country’s borders. The film begins much like a lot …

We have all seen King Kong , right ? But did you know that the first version of the movie came out in 1933 ? It was the early 30’s , movies just started appearing with sound, and …
Boogie Nights the movie
This has to be one of the worst movies in history and I am not a fan of boogie nights at all and never have been and never will be and this movie was just a disaster right from the beginning all the way to the end. Seriously mark …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
Forever Strong
There used to be a time when I loved sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall but then I came to realize they are all the same; they use some sport to teach kids confidence and give a quick lesson about life.
I had hoped the movie …
Rugrat’s In Paris movie
Rugrat’s in Paris is a great family movie. This is the sequel to the first Rugrat movie. This movie is about Chuckie’s family growing and his visit overseas to Japan. I liked that this movie is great for children as well as for adults. At least, the adults that …
Into The Woods - The Movie
Last night when I went to watch “Into the Woods”, I was excited with expectations of watching a splendid musical. Although it includes scenes of great quality, I felt it lacks the strength to be called an exceptional movie. It’s a good musical, but the evolution of the characters …
Murder at 1600
I just watched “Murder at 1600″ in which Wesley Snipes plays Detective Harlan Regis trying to solve the murder of a young secretary in the White House.
This is an action adventure movie.
A janitor is arrested quickly for the murder however, Regis is not sure he is the true …
Netflix
Yesterday was the fourth time I’ve registered for Netflix. I’ve been a member before but have cancelled my membership three times thinking we would be cutting back on our movie watching. And, once again, we found we are better off with the service.
The thing I like about Netflix is …
Salt: A Film by Philip Noyce (2010)
With all the campaigns splashed in the internet about this film, it’s hard to ignore not watching it. I went out with a bunch of friends earlier and had no choice but to see this movie. Salt tells the story of a CIA official named Evelyn Salt. …
The Killer (movie) July, 2006
This is really one stupid movie that I have ever watched. The movie titled The Killer is a complete out and out copy of Collateral. It released on 21st July, 2006. I expected it to be some kind of a better movie as it is a Mahesh Bhatt production. …
Movie: Return of the Living Dead
I was in the mood for a good zombie movie this past weekend. Well, to be more accurate, I was in the mood for any zombie movie since I know finding a good one is kind of hard.
A few weeks ago, I had recorded the film Return of the …
The Good Guy
Movie The Good Guy is a wasted effort. With some intelligent and logical plot creations this movie could have made more interesting and above all digestible for the audience. The story of the movie has intensity in its simple looking plot. It is all about relations and move is …
Man of The Year, Barry Levinson Movie

Peace, Love and Misunderstanding (comedy drama)
While I do like some independent drama films, I didn’t think I would enjoy this one based on the description that I had seen of it. My impression was that it would probably be too boring for me to enjoy or I wouldn’t be able to relate at all. However, …
Harold and Kumar go to whitecastle
This is not your typical comedy. It is a comedy with a purpose. I laughed so much until I cried. The plot consists of two best friends who get an overwhelming craving for whitecastle burgers. They refused to stop at nothing to get their fulfillment. After so many mishaps …
Delta Farce
This movie wasn’t all that good. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie but nothing was really funny. Nothing in the film made me laugh. Overall it was alright but I didn’t really like it. I didn’t care for it. I wouldn’t recommend it to hardly …
Jurassic World - Sci-Fi Adventure Movie (2015)
Jurassic World is an amazing movie. Fortunately I chose to watch this movie in 3D. In 3D, you can’t help but feel slightly terrified by the roars of the dinosaurs as they attack and wreak havoc. I was hooked the entire 2 hours of the movie and can’t wait for …
NetFlix
What a pain having to go all the way to the video store and walk around forever finding what you want. For a long time I didn’t even go out and rent movies because it was just too much of a hassle. Also I hated the restrictions of how …
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 …
The Big Show movie
From 1936, Gene Autry stars in a double role in The Big Show. As the country singer and actor often did, his ‘nice’ guy role uses his real name of Gene Autry. In this case, he’s a stuntman who sings. His other part is that of …
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
