The Harvey Girls movie
For a long time before actually watching The Harvey Girls, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but then once I finally sat down and told myself to watch, I got it! The Harvey Girls tells of a group of women who moved west to, well, be glorified …
Big Fish (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …
The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005 movie)
Just by the title’s name you can already summize what the movie is about, so I need not get into the dirty details of this movie, and believe me, it is dirty. This is one of the movies that give men a bad name, but other than that, it …
The Princess Diaries
I didn’t expect this movie to be any good, but I admit I was wrong. Even though the story follows a very familiar template - a plain unpopular girl gets transformed into a gorgeous celebrity - the movie has a lot more than that. Mia, the unpopular teenage girl, …
Movie Georgia Rule
“Georgia Rule” is the film where we get to see the actress, Lindsey Lohan interpret the role of a bad girl with the name of Rachel Wilcox. With the reputation that Lohan has gained lately I don’t think she had a particular difficulty to fit in her role.
“Georgia Rule” deals …
A Greater Yes: The Story of Amy Newhouse
I had seen A Greater Yes advertised and really wanted to see it. It was produced by Pure Flix, a production company I really like, and is Dove Family approved. So I was hopeful about this movie. When I read the cover, I was a bit …
A Bug’s Life
When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …
The Hills Have Eyes 2
It’s not often I come across a horror film that actually scares me to the point I want to make sure all the doors and windows are locked. The Hills Have Eyes 2 managed to accomplish this.
The 2007 remake turned out to be one of the scarier movies I’ve …

Movie: Avatar
I didn’t get an opportunity to watch the movie Avatar at the theater and finally got a chance to watch it on DVD this past weekend. At the time we rented it, I figured it would be good but wouldn’t live up to all the hype. I was wrong. It …
Cloverfield
I love monster movies. Even if the special effects aren’t the greatest and the plot is weak, the fact I can see some giant monster destroying a city is usually enough to make up for it.
Unfortunately, Cloverfield turned out to be the worst monster movie I’ve ever seen.
The problem …
Creepshow by Stephen King
The original Creepshow movie by Stephen King is probably one of my favorite horror movies ever. I really liked this serious of mini movies. I really like the intro about the kid who get revenge on his enemies with a voodoo doll. I thought that intro clip was just …
The Patriot movie
The patriot is one my my favorite movies. This movie is remembered for the stunning performance of Male Gibson. He is also the director of the movie.
I have seen this movie more than twenty times. And in spite of this I am ready to see this any time. …
A Walk to Remember movie
Some movies, you just can’t get out of your head. They leave such a permanent impression in your mind and constantly make you think about the way life is, the way it could be, and the way it may end up. The movie “A Walk to Remember” did …
The Brothers Bloom
I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …
The New Daughter Movie (2009)
I like Kevin Costner, and I like horror and suspense movies as well, so my mother and I watched this on DVD and during the first parts I thought it was scary, but it depends really on a person because I do scare easily! I found the plot to …
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) …

Leprechaun 5: in the Hood is a 2000 comedy/horror film.It stars Warick Davis and Ice T.It is about an evil leprechaun who searches for his magic flute and gold coins and kills people who get in his way.The movie starts out in the 1970s.A man dressed like a pimp …
Mirrors
I was expecting a bit more of a thriller in the movie “Mirrors”; it was a good movie, good sequence and the build up of the story is quite convincing. The story is very nice until, of course towards the end where it gets to be confusing and a …

Movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall
This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. It’s about this guy who his girlfriend dumps him and he ends up going to Hawaii, and his girlfriend ends up being there with her new boyfriend at the same time.
I thought it was overall …
Nanny Mcphee
Nanny Mcphee is a bit boring film with some unconvincing scenes which no logic. Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee in the movie and she has some magical powers which is not really convincing. Cedric Brown played by Colin Firth ia a widower and has seven children who are extremely …

Justin Long, better known for his performance to me in Jeepers Creepers makes am entrance as a comedian in this classic tale of a boy and his dreams of going to college. When e finds out that all his applications to every college that he had applied to was …
The Omnimax Theater
Although I feel you might be able to add “four dimensional” components such as motion and interaction with live objects simultaneous with the viewing of the film, the Omnimax provides what I consider the bets visual and audio experience possible.
I’ll get the sound out of the way because it …
Men In Black
The original Men In Black was an excellent comedic action movie and a welcome twist on the all to common genre of alien movies. The comedy throughout this movie was real comedy, not the non-stop attempts at slapstick or idiotic humor that have begun to plague comedies as of …
Netflix.com
We have now had Netflix service three different times in three different states. This has provided us with a variety of experiences. We started in Michigan where shipping times were a little slow. It usually took about two days to get our movies, two days to return them, and …
Sgt. Bilko
When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
When I was younger, I remember watching re-runs of the Phil Silvers Show and his character Sgt. Bilko. In the movie …
Listerine Whitening Vibrant White Pre-Brush Rinse
I recently tried a different brand of whitening mouthwash called Listerine Whitening Vibrant White Pre-Brush Rinse. Mouthwash is an important part of any dental hygiene regimen, so a whitening pre-brush rinse is a necessary item to have on hand.
Listerine Whitening Vibrant White Pre-Brush Rinse comes in a 16 0z. …
Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown
There is a brilliant spot in Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown. It’s actually a parody of the TV drama, Hill Street Blues. I recognized what was happening almost immediately. It surrounded Roxy (Jasmine Guy), who is a meter maid on the show. She …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Before you read my review you should know I’m a HUGE fan of Star Wars. I grew up on the original trilogy and enjoyed the recent prequels despite failing to capture the same magic that made the originals the classics they are today. The Clone Wars, I …
Movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is about a bell ringer named Quasimodo, gentle and lonely of Notre Dame. Born to a gypsy, and horribly defected at birth, Quasimodo fell into the hands of the man who killed his mother. As he grew, he was confined to the bell tower, …
In her Shoes
“In her Shoes” is a film based on family misunderstandings and loyalty. What I particularly liked about this movie is the actress, Shirley MacLaine role as the grandmother, Ella Hirsch. It is no wonder that she has been nominated for the golden globe for her supporting role in this …
The Truman Show
Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …
Ghost Hunters
I have been watching Ghost Hunters since it stated in 2004 and still enjoy it. Two ordinary men, their real jobs are as plumbers, hunt ghosts by night. It is on the SciFi Wednesdays at 9:00 PM There is nothing fictional about it, it is …
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010 Film)

The Vow Movie
One of my favorite actors is Channing Tatum and when it comes to actress, it should be Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Kate Hudson. I enjoyed the film Mean Girls not because of Lindsay Lohan but because of the contentious character of Rachel McAdams. I became a loyal fan …
Green Zone Movie
There were several reasons why my husband and I decided to watch the movie Green Zone when it opens in Singapore this week. The trailer looks enticing and exciting enough. The other reason was of course the main actor, Matt Damon. We both love watching the Bourne trilogy and …
Igor (movie)
One of the animated movies that I was fortunate to watch earlier on this year was the movie “Igor”. To tell you the truth, I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it whenever it was first released not only because the trailer just didn’t interest me, but because …
Maduranombarakkattu Movie
Kamal is the only one among the directors of Malayalam film industry who has always succeeded in working with different themes.He has proved it with his earlier hits like ‘Mazhayethum Munpe’,’Ulladakkam’,’Krishnagudiyil Oru Pranayakalathu’ etc, all of them having entirely different themes with a good number of excellent songs.His films …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …
Netflix.com
When I first saw that Netflix was offering the same thing that Blockbuster was, but with the “Watch Instantly” option, I thought that it had to be the coolest thing ever. And it really is. I had been using Blockbuster.com for a year and was really …
Movie: The Ruins
When I think of The Ruins the words for decription that come to mind is unexpected surprise. Although I’m a huge fan of horror films, creature features are not the ones I enjoy the most. I don’t even remember why I put this on my netflix queue …

Four Brothers Mark Wahlberg
This is one of my favoite movies. I have always been a fan of Mark Wahlberg and he did an excellent job in this film. His tough exterior and gritty attitude was just what this movie needed. He and his other three brothers are on a mission to find …
Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …
