Movie Charade (1963)
Perhaps I’d like to call myself an Audrey Hepburn devotee because every time I sit down and watch one of her chick flicks, it gives me yet another reason to dig more on her profile as an actress of several films. Her onscreen portrayals are made known by …
Movie: Sister Act II
I love this movie, my husband and I watch it whenever it is on television. Sister Act II is the sequel to Sister Act, Sister Mary Clarence, played by Whoopi Goldberg, is back undercover again (this time from the priests) to help save a school. My favorite …
Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho (1960 movie)
I grew up loving horror movies and so I have a special appreciation for the movie “Psycho” that was released in 1960. I feel that it is one of the best and most influential horror movies of all times, especially since I believe that it featured one of movies’ …
Batman Begins (2005 film)
The 2005 film “Batman Begins” starring Christian Bale and Katie Holmes, along with a cast of other remarkably talented actors, gave me some very new light on Batman and what he stands for. I really got swept up in Bruce Wayne’s life and saw for myself the reasons behind …

Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
For Pete’s Sake movie
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 …
Blue Valentine movie
Blue Valentine is one of those movies that show that in reality you can find the best things. Not in the rich imaginations of people. This film is fiction, but it’s very detailed, so you can forget it’s fiction, it captured the essence of reality extremely well. It’s a …
Movie: The Killing Floor

Duplicity movie
I don’t know why the title is Duplicity, but this movie sizzles. I watched it with my boyfriend and we were both entertained by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Both of them have this particular chemistry in the movie and together, they are plotting to make something profitable …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …
“Elf” (2003 Film)
Will Ferrell is a very funny actor who I have seen in many movies and really enjoyed watching. One movie he stars in in-particular is the holiday movie “Elf” which came out in 2003. In this film, he plays a human named Buddy who was raised by elves and …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
A movie directed by Steven Speilberg, story in part by George Lucas, Starring Harrison Ford, Cate Balnchett, Karren Allen and Shia LaBeouf.

Shrek 3
Dreamworks’ successful Shrek franchise has more or less lived up to its hype with Shrek 1 and 2; Shrek 3, however, seems to fall short of the witty, fairy-tale spoof we have come to love. Although filled with humorous details and comical dialogue, the story is nothing short of …
Nacho Libre (2006 Film)
Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …
Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …
Carnival Story movie
The world in the 50’s and 60’s loved stories about carnivals and circuses, and that’s why we have this film, Carnival Story, from 1954. In fact, I understand a German version was made at the same time and that the stars of both movies are seen but uncredited …

The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I Know What You Did Last Summer with Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michele Gellar, Freddie Prince Jr., Ryan Phillippe, and Anne Heche.

Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …
Alvin and the chipmunks
I watched this movie with my little sister a couple of weeks ago. It was good for the most part but I did notice that I was a little more interested in the movie than she was. I thought that it was a very cute kids movie and really …

Jurassic Park 3
Joe Johnston takes over directorial duties for the third entry in the Jurassic Park franchise and unfortunately, fails to captain a worthy successor to the fantastic first movie and enjoyable second.

The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (drama movie)
This is one movie that will definitely appeal to us baby boomers, but certainly not us alone. Being born during that period of mass marketing and eye-catching consumption has probably influenced many of us to more fully appreciate and understand the deep lessons that this movie delivers. Nevertheless, the …
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
In 1970, Barbra Streisand starred in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. At first, I don’t really think I understood this film. I saw it a couple of times, but it never really did anything for me. As I got older, though, the film …
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.

Tia …
Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …

Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
