When I first saw the movie “Eragon” being advertised to be released in theatres, I wanted to see it since I also like fantasy films and it looked like a fantasy movie which I might just love. However, since I had no one to see it with, I …

As the fanfare dies down, the roars silenced and the smoke clears from the forth three Home Alone movies, this fourth episode in the saga comes on by and leaves a very bitter taste in the mouths of the viewing public. Taking the series into such a dark area …

Alice in Wonderland was my favorite cartoon movie before, and I would always dream and wished I was Alice so I could eat the cookies and drink the potion that would make me smaller or bigger than my average size. I wanted to be Alice when I was a …

Sicko covers the healthcare crisis in America and problems with insurance, people being uninsured, doctor and hospital costs and how Americans are being treated by the healthcare system. Sicko focuses more upon insurance than anything. Michael Moore also travels to …

Usually I don’t enjoy watching foreign films with characters I am unfamiliar with. However, I decided to give this one a try. The plot seemed very interesting. There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …

This is a 2008 film starring Will Smith, it’s about a superhero who makes mistakes and gets a lot of negative media attention due to his messing up, the people of the city are fed up with his way of handling crime and saving people. The movie is somewhat …

I admit that I entered in the theater with quite low expectations, being a fan of horror movies, I decided to give it a try for the following two reasons, first- it’s a horror movie, second- it is made in digital 3-D.
first of all, Hats off to the filmmakers for …

I am reviewing the Superior 71 Drive-in Theater located between Okoboji and Estherville, IA. This drive in has been in operation for only two years, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I am in my twenties, but I have always loved the idea of …

OK, either I’m starting to get really old or the movie Twilight wasn’t anything that lived up to all the hype and the obsession the fans are giving it. I watched it last night and thought it was the longest, most boring vampire film I’ve ever seen. And, believe …

When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …

One of the things which really stuck out about the partly animated “Arthur and the Invisibles” was the animation. I can remember thinking it was unlike any I had ever seen and it helped to rekindle my excitement of wanting to go into animation and special effects in the …

There is a reason why this DVD is not rated. It is because the sex and adult situations in this film are so intense that it had to be rated that way. I know you’re wondering what kind of filth would be involved in a movie titled …

With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …

I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …

Kissing A Fool with David Schwimmer, Jason Lee, and Bonnie Hunt.
This film theme had potential, but the horrible cast selection never gave it a chance. Schwimmer used his experience from Friends and tried to make it work as a major character in a motion picture. …

I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …

I rented “The Lovely Bones” thinking it would be more of a supernatural thriller, but what I found it to be was a very heartwarming story of acceptance and grief. A young girl is murdered, but caught in the in-between of life and death, searching for meaning and to …

This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …

“Angel Eyes” was promoted as a Jennifer Lopez movie because, at the time, she was a very hot celebrity; however this movie is all about the acting talents of James Caviezel. Although the movie was promoted as one of the best roles for Lopez, it didn’t live up to …

Swing Hostess, a 1944 musical film, felt very much like a predecessor to Singing in the Rain to me. I thought of that almost all the way through, although it wasn’t the same story exactly.
One of the things I really liked about his movie was seeing how the …

I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …

I am reviewing the movie, Around the Bend, starring Michael Caine, Josh Lucas, and Christopher Walken. This movie is about common, everyday things. It is about a young father who is taking care of an older man in his house, while trying to raise his young boy at …

This is one of the most recent of the Stephen King adaptations to hit the big screens, but I have to say that it isn’t one of the best. 1408 was one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time, but the Mist just didn’t …

Just Married s a nice romantic comedy movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. Though I can say that it is not a great movie, one can watch it without getting bored and have few hearty laughs throughout the movie. The opening scenes of the movie itself are very …

The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 is a movie based on the last two books in the sisterhood but the movie does not follow the story line of the books. I absolutely hate when a movie based on a book goes all out of order. What confused me …

Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …

I watched “Beauty Shop” last night. I thought it was hilarious! This PG-13 movie stars Queen Latifa, Kevin Bacon, Alicia Silverstone, Andie McDowell and many other familiar faces. Gina (Queen Latifa) quits her job at a salon to open her own business. She encounters troubles of running her own …

Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …

Twelve men gather in a secluded and locked room. It is one of the hottest days of summer, with the sun scorching outside and the room barely kept cool with a fan, that no one considers putting on initially. The majority of the men do not probably believe that …

First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …

WHen I was still a girl in prep school, I can remember one of the most popular movies of the nineteen nineties was the movie “Armageddon”. I would hear my friends talking about it from time to time talking about which scene was their favourite and how the …

Black Cat Episode 6 begins with Train leaving Chronos and some of the Numbers come after him. Meanwhile Saya spends time with train while Creed decides that she has to die because of her influence on Train.
This episode was very well done and had good character development …

I’ve been looking forward to the new Toy Story movie for a long time. I loved the first two. However, I really wanted to know that young Andy, now grown up and 17, would still love his toys and would keep them. Hey, I’m way over …

When you talk about the movie review on Sunshine, I have the impression of the movie of The Titans. This movie is basically about sunlight, yes, and I thought it was a pretty boring story, yet again on DVD. My brother has loads of it, and I …

I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The title on this movie is very misleading …

This is a 1997 movie about Howard Stern, it tells the story of how he grew up, got fired from many radio stations, and tries to show how and why he became famous. The film is based on his 1993 book. The soundtrack to the film is really something …

No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …

This is one of those splendid BBC adaptations that is almost as good as the original novel. The novel in this case is a work by Anthony Trollope, who is one of my favorite novelists, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this movie.
The story is about a wealthy young …

When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …

‘Focus’ is a romantic comedy with lots of twists and turns that make the movie enjoyable to watch. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, this movie at times plays out like an action film or thriller and definitely had my attention throughout. The screenplay could’ve been executed a little better …

The Dictator is a 2012 comedy movie directed by Larry Charles. Sacha Baron Cohen was casted as the main charm of the movie as Aladdin. I only watched him once in Hugo where he was playing the role of a station inspector. A lot of time was passed since I …
