Movie The Dark Knight
My family and I saw this movie over the weekend. Our family includes me age 35 female, my husband age 35 male, and our son age 16. All of us really enjoyed the movie.
I think Heath Ledger did a wonderful job as the Joker. He brought something new …
Film Gremlins
When Gremlins was first released, I was not allowed to see it being too young. My older sister and her best friend were taken to the theater to see the film while I stayed with my Grandfather. I remember that I got a teddy bear in compensation.
I also will …

Stephen King’s Pet Semetary movie

The Idiot movie
Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa here tries to depict a famous work in literature, Dostoyevskis The Idiot. Kurosawa has moved the story to Japan, which also has been done by the director with works of Shakespeare for example. The film is rather long, around 3 hours, but still it …
School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
The Avengers movie
This is a the film version of a classic tv-series from the 1960s. Uma Thurman is a sexy british agent and Ralph Fiennes her partner. Sean Connery is the villain who threatens to destroy the whole world with some kind of weather machine. I haven’t seen the tv-series myself, …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …

Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Forever Mine movie
I remember that I watched the movie Forever Mine starring Joseph Fiennes, Gretchen Mol and Ray Liotta in the lead roles an year ago on cable. Forever mine is a drama and has some gripping moments which are really interesting to watch. It is a good movie, though …
Feature Film “Twilight Saga: Eclipse “

Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, movie
I was really blown away by how good the first movie was. It was very funny, sweet, and had a lot of heart. I was looking forward to seeing what the sequel would deliver. While this movie gets praised, I’m sorry to say that I was …

Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
Discovering the real world of Harry Potter
I felt a little silly when I first began to read the harry Potter books. These are books for children I told myself so why did I find it so entertaining. I’ve read other books for children since I became an adult of course, but those had already moved …
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 …

Rocky Balboa
As You all know there is a few films about Rocky (Silvester Stalone), but I think this is a last one. All of those films about Rocky are some kind the same. but every time I watch one of them it always touch my heart so is this film.
Years …
Devil (2010 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Devil from a friend who refused to take the elevator one day. I hadn’t heard of it and was amused that a single film could scare a person into not wanting to ride an elevator, but instead take the stairs. As a person who …

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
After the hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Terminator 2; a further sequel was obviously inevitable.

Just Like Heaven
This DVD movie, Just Like Heaven is awesome!! I love modern ghost stories like this, but in a twisted romantic comedy sort of way. Want to know why? There are already enough depressions in this world, so watching a romantic comedy gets thumbs-up first from me anytime …
Doghouse Movie
The undead, infected, and zombies have been in every independent horror, comedy, and even action movie as of late. If you have a laughable budget then it must be written somewhere that you have to make a movie like this. At least Doghouse takes the trendy concept and adds …
Christine
I’ve never taken the time to read the Stephen King book Christine but finally got around to watching the movie last night. Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
The film, which is about a living car and a teenaged boy’s obsession over it, is a bit drawn out and takes a …
Little Miss Sunshine movie
When I saw the trailer for this film, I knew it fit my sense of humor - somewhat dark but also a little bit slapstick. All the film’s actors turn in excellent performances, but Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, and Steve Carell are especially strong in their respective roles …

Dan in Real Life

Gods and Monsters movie
Very engaging film about the famous horror movie director, James Whale, who made Frankenstein for instance back in the 1930s. In this film he is old, and wonderfully played by Ian McKellen. James Whale, who was openly homosexual, falls in love with his many years younger gardener, who at …
When in Rome (movie) 2010
I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …
Movie Calendar Girls
I have always wanted to see this movie but somehow each time I go to noldge a video I never remember to take this movie so I always take something else. Anyway. fortunately few days ago it was on tv and I really liked it.
It is a movie about …
Open the Door Richard movie short
I have no idea how to even describe this 1945 movie short called Open the Door Richard. It’s a strange production that I just don’t understand. It features Dusty Fletcher and the infamous Richard, if only in spirit.
I just don’t know what to say, or should I …
Amusement (R, 2008) movie
“Amusement” is one of those horror films that you have to watch with few expectations. I went into the movie with an open mind. I liked the fact that the film was broken up into parts, sections that would ultimately culminate into something that I could fuse …
Two Came Back (1997 Film)
The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …
Lets Be Cops (movie)

Tooth & Nail, horror film by Mark Young
How can a cliché post-apocalyptic movie even be considered a horror movie? Did the After Dark Horror Fest standards changed when the second batch of movies were released? Tooth & Nail is by no means a real horror movie, not even familiar faces can save this movie.
A group …
