Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …

The Family That Preys movie (2008)
The Family That Prey is another movie from Tyler Perry that is one of my personal favorites. I have loved it ever since the day I first watched it. Like most of Tyler Perry films and plays they have a moral and usually some kind of twist to the …
My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …
The Brood movie
A lovely little horror and suspense film is The Brood. What is The Brood? Well, the brood turns out to be a bunch of tiny people who go around murdering every one that they think has committed some sort of injustice towards their mother. This is a pretty simple …
A zed and two noughts movie
After his masterpiece The draughtsman’s contract back in the early 1980s, the expectations on Peter Greenaway where enormous on my account. He created some very impressive pieces of work through the remaining 80s that included the puzzling Drowning by numbers and the macabre The cook, the thief, his wife …
Ninja Assassin
Although I was not the least bit interested in it when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, I both heard and read so many good reviews about it from friends and from people online, that I couldn’t help but feel eager to watch the movie once …
Now You See Me 2 (2016 Film)
This year we have been blessed with unnecessary sequels, and if you think that the “expansion” of the magic-filled world of the first Now You See Me Film would offer something different, then you are very wrong.
There’s also a reason why it holds a fairly small rating in critics-consensus websites …
Slumdog Millionaire
I am not a person who loves watching movies. However, the euphoria that was created by the release of Slumdog millionaire led me to watch this movie. I have to say that I love watching the movie. Yes, I have many reservations about the plot and the way film …
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
I enjoyed watching this movie directed by John Moore and shown in 2001 and has a runtime of 106 minutes. I find Owen Wilson cute. He plays the role of a combat aviator Lt. Chris Burnett. A soldier by profession but one who does not want to …
The Bridge to Terabithia
I watched the movie “The Bridge to Terabethia” with my family this afternoon. I have to say I was not very impressed with the film.
The girl Leslie, played by AnnaSophia Robb and Jesse create a magical world to escape from bullies. There was not much fantasy in …
Alfred Hitchcock’s ROPE (1948)
Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ is usually hailed as a classic among his work, getting on top ten lists and people still being talked about today. Sadly all that seems to be discussed is his famous use of the ten minute take, and the gay subtexts the film exhibits in relation …
“The Wedding Date” (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The Wedding Date” is in the genre of romantic comedy, and while it surely did deliver on the comedy level, I am not so sure the movie was something I could enjoy more than once. I found the plot to be sort of “Pretty Woman” backwards …
Roots movie
This is a movie that changed my perspective on life forever! No movie has ever approached its impact on my psyche. This movie revealed my history in the very saddest and unflattering terms. This movie succeeded in erasing my innocent perspective od United States History and forever cast a …

MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
“The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is a decent effort by director Peter Jackson to wrap up the trilogy based on the novel, ‘The Hobbit’. Now I use decent very loosely as it falls far below the quality of the first two installments in the trilogy. When I watched …
The happening movie
The happening was a pretty good movie. It’s about something happening in parts of the world where it makes people do weird things and eventually kill themselves. I thought it was well directed because it will let you know what is happening but yet it is not gory at …

To Sir With Love

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon movie

Movie Cloverfield (2008)
As many others, my first experience with Cloverfield was during the opening set of previews for last year’s summer blockbuster Transformers.

Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (R, 1992) movie
I really didn’t think I’d be watching this movie more than a decade after it was released. And I’m kind of sorry that I did. The girl playing Chantel was attractive and authentic enough. And even the storyline was pretty authentic. I didn’t …

Orgazmo
I rented Orgazmo on the recommendation of a friend and thought it was going to turn out to be a stupid movie. I was right, it was stupid. However, it was also one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen.
The movie, about a Mormon, Joe Young, who is …

Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”

Highlander
I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The film, of course, is what …

Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …
Mr. Mom movie
Mr. Mom is really a cute little movie from 1983. I don’t think of it as an A-list movie, but more of a B-film that still delights and is pretty funny. It was also pretty topical for its era. In truth, it’s still topical to a …
When Harry Met Sally movie
