The Hunters (Movie)
was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
Movie: Lean on Me
Synopsis: A newly hired principal must improve the performance of his high school in time for the basic skills exam or the district will lose control of the school to the state.
What I liked about this movie: This film, which is based on real events, is one of those …
Disney’s Cinderella
If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …
Sorry,Wrong Number Movie
“Sorry, Wrong Number” is a classic thriller about a bed-ridden woman who accidentally learns about a murder being plotted, this very night, and desperately tries to save the victim’s life. Leona Stevenson, played by Barbara Stanwyck, is a rich young woman whose condition forces her to spend her life …
Film Basket Case
Considered by some to be one of the sickest films ever made, director/writer Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case is also very inventive, scary, gruesome, touching, funny and disturbing cult films ever made against the most spindly of shoestring budgets.
Brining a wicker basket with him to Manhatten, Duane (Kevin Han Hentenryck) …
Clash of the Titans movie remake
Hollywood has done it again. They’ve taken a well-known movie and tried to update it with flashy costumes (literally in the case of Zeus) and an overabundance of CGI. Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film by the same name, although it lacks many of …
Movie The Strangers
I just rented and watched the movie the strangers today and it was pretty good. I am not going to say it was a 10 because there were parts of the movie that I felt like “I wish it would hurry up and end”. At the same time …
Away We Go (2009 Movie)
Away We Go is based on what I thought was a cute idea, so I really wanted to go see it. I missed it in the theatres though, because my friends wanted to see other things. I’m pleased that I managed to see it even though I didn’t get …
“Profoundly Normal” (2003 Lifetime Movie Film)
This 2003 Lifetime Movie Newtwork film “Profoundly Normal”, starring Kirstie Alley and Delroy Lindo was really a movie that can touch the hearts of many people. I was unsure of what type of film this would be. But within the first few minutes of the film I realized what …
The Other Boleyn Girl
We went to Arundel Mills Mall yesterday and saw the new movie called the Other Boelyn Girl. This movie was about Edward VIII and his never ending affairs and striving for a male heir.
This movie starred Natalie Protman as Anne Boleyn the future queen of England and …
Dinosaur animated movie
Dinosaur is a great animated movie. This movie came out around 2000 or so. It’s most suitable for children or young teens but I think it can also be enjoyed by adults. I certainly enjoyed it. The scenery is breath taking. The animation is so good that it almost …
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 …
Airheads
I have not seen this movie being aired on any of the cable television channels I have in ages. In fact, I remember that the last time I saw it was some time in either the late nineteen nineties at my grandmother’s house or in the very early 2000s. …
Toy Story 3 movie
I have been an avid fan of the Toy Story movies 1 and 2. So when I saw the trailers and the teasers about Toy Story 3, I just had to watch it. Since I was young, I have enjoyed watching Toy Story and I think Toy Story 3 …
UHF movie
A complete idiot takes control of a TV station by accident and gets the opportunity to make any broadcasts he wants.
UHF is one of those comedies from the 1980s that hasn’t really survived until these days. When it first came out people regarded it as very funny and original, …
Carny Movie
I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.
I’m not sure, but I think this might have originally …
Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
Biwi No 1 (movie), 1999
I watched Biwi No 1 at theatre with my mother and family. It is a very funny film. I enjoyed it a lot. It released in 1999. This film is directed by David Dhawan. David Dhawan is known for his comedy movies and this one is surely funny. The …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet DVD
I’ve always liked The Incredible Mr. Limpet from the time I first saw it as a child. It’s just a delightful motion picture that is clever and wonderful to watch. Below are a few thoughts on this DVD, now that I happily have it as part of …
“Alice Adams” (1935) starring Katharine Hepburn
The 1935 “Alice Adams” was produced in black and white by RKO. The movie is based on the novel by Booth Tarkington. “Alice Adams” runs 99 minutes which is a little too long as parts are slow. The beginning twenty minutes and the ending twenty minutes make the movie …

Knowing Feature Film
The movie Knowing was a pleasant surprise for me. I did not see any advertisements for it when it hit the theaters and I knew nothing about it when I rented it except that it was a horror movie and it had Nick Cage in it. …
I am Legend Movie
I was very excited going into this movie. I really like Will Smith and could not wait to see what he was going to do with this unique role. I was a little skeptical at first, since he was the only person in the movie, but I didn’t let …

Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Moon: Movie
Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …
Mr. Woodcock
“Mr Woodcock” is a good comic movie; however I personally would have preferred that the main part went to a different actor rather than Billy Bob Thornton. In this movie, Thornton tried to interpret “Mr Woodcock” to his best of abilities, however while watching this film I couldn’t help …
Lost Boys: The Tribe
My boyfriend loved Lost Boys so when Lost Boys: The Tribe came out on Tuesday we made a trip to Wal-mart to get it. The DVD cost around $20.
First of all I’ll start with the cover. It is neat. You look at it in one …
Fame (2009 movie)
I didn’t jump at watching the movie Fame like a few of the younger people I know did, because I could remember watching the television series from the eighties in the early nineties when I was a little girl; and based on what I saw when the movie …
Sydney White
I had heard of the movie Sydney White but never made an effort to watch it until yesterday. I have to admit it was a cute movie.
Amanda Bynes stars in the comedy, which is a modern day rendition of Snow White and the 7 dwarves. Only, it takes place …
Harvey Birdman Volume 1 DVD
Harvey Birdman certainly is a breath of fresh air. A breath of fresh old air. Following in the footsteps of the immensely popular Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law renews the idea of taking old Hanna Barbera characters and putting them into a …

Blood Diamond is a powerful movie that was nominated for an Academy award. The story takes place in Africa. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a diamond smuggler who trades with rebel forces during the country’s bloody civil war. He gives the fighters weapons in exchange for diamonds …
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …
Shadows in the Sun movie
I am reviewing the movie, Shadows in the Sun, which was released in 2006. It stars Joshua Jackson as a man named Jeremy Taylor, a guy who works at a publishing company in London. He is pressured to travel to Tuscany to get renowned writer, Welson Parish, …
Meet the Spartans
I’m slowly becoming more disappointed with the way comedy movies are going in the United States. There was a time where I could go to the movies (a comedy) and find myself laughing hysterically for a good hour and a half. Now I find myself staring at the screen …
Uptown Girls
One of the most amazing actresses of this generation is Dakota Fanning. She’s one of my favorites and I try to watch every movie where she’s in. A couple days backs, I watched Upton Girls again where Fanning plays an uptight spoiled rich little girl whose mom doesn’t have …

The Heartbreak Kid
The best words that describe the movie “The Heartbreak Kid” is an attempt from the actor, Ben Stiller to make a successful movie similar to “There’s Something about Mary”. After nine years from “There’s Something about Mary” he teams about with the Farrell brothers to produce this movie, which …
Movie Friday the 13th
I was a bit skeptical when Friday the 13th the 09 version was coming out. People didn’t hear much about it. And the cast was practically unheard of, which was a worry for all the fans of the series.
This movie is not as bad as I thought it was …
13 Going on 30
When I first rented 13 Going on 30, my first thought was, this is going to be a lot like the movie “Big.” I was glad I was wrong about it.
Jennifer Garner does a great job portraying a 13-year-old girl who wishes she was 30 back in the 80s …
Movie Seven Pounds
I recently had the pleasure of watching this movie. I thought that the acting was great, they did a great job of getting you fully engrossed in the movie which I liked. It was a bit slow in the beginning however, but all of that pays off because you …
She’s the Man (movie)
A few years ago, when She’s the Man was in theaters, I saw a few previews for the movie. I thought the movie looked dumb and unrealistic. However, I decided to give it a chance because my friends wanted to go see it. I am very …
Movie The Hangover

A Boy and His Dog Movie
A Post-Apocalyptic film about a boy who communicates telepathically with his dog. Together they set out on an adventure to find food and girls. The film begins very promising, but I really didn’t like the later half at all. At first I found the film funny and interesting on …
Final Cut (PG-13, 2004) movie
Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …
Paradise Lost
This is the tragic story about three children getting brutally murderded in West Memphis about ten years ago. It’s a documentary style film that follows up the conviction of three teenagers suspected for the murders. The creators of the documentary gives their own view of what happened, and how …
Anthony Kaun Hai (movie) August, 2006
The movie Anthony Kaun Hai released on 4th of August, 2006. The meaning if the title of the film is Who Is Anthony in English. The movie has been directed by Raj Kaushal. It is a pretty stupid and complicating film. The lead actors of the film are Sanjay …
