Ella Enchanted is somewhat of a cross between Cinderella and Shrek. We have a modernized fantasy world with ogres, elves, giants, taxi carriages and man-powered wooden escalators. And we have a teenage girl Ella who lives with a step mother and (of course) her two evil daughters. However, there …

I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …

I originally thought this was a remake of the old Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines movie but soon realized it wasn’t. I decided to watch it anyway and have to admit it was pretty good. It was fast paced enough for me and I could even deal with the …

Well, I didn’t think I would end up liking the movie The Time Traveler’s Wife when my wife forced me to watch it last night. But, it turned out to be pretty decent.
Basically, you have a man who is a time traveler against his will (he can’t control when …

Skinwalkers is quite possibly the oddest movie I’ve ever seen, and given the amount of strange and unsettling horror movies I’ve seen over the course of my life, that’s saying a lot. I first saw the movie advertised on another straight to video horror movie release, and the ad …

When it comes to most of Stephen King’s movies I know to almost always expect three things: horror, mentally ill people and jaw dropping endings. This movie gives all three. It is a psychological horror that basically tells a story about a group of people who hide out in …

The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …

“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …

The 2010 film “Love and Other Drugs” staring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, was not only funny but very heart warming and the perfect film to see if you are looking for comedy, romance, and great acting that will make you want to cry, laugh, sigh or all three.
Jake …

George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …

Prior to watching this movie, I did not know much of anything about Johnny Cash. For me, the big draw to see the movie in the first place were the main characters, Joaquin Phoenix in particular. I was very sad to see him drop out of acting as I …

Cromartie High School is no ordinary school. It’s a school for delinquents. The most important subject is “fighting” and their biggest concern is “who the biggest badass is?” Everything they talk about is completely random and has nothing to do with school. You could say this anime is pointless, …

I had never seen the movie D.C. Cab until last night, when I was bored and had a chance to watch it on Netflix Instant watch.
You know what, I should have found a different movie.
Here’s a rule of thumb. If the movie’s biggest star is Mr. T, then it …

I had watched this last night on HBO and I was really surprised there was such a movie as this one, I haven’t really seen this movie when it was being shown in the theatres and I’m glad I had seen it last night. The show features a …

Lasse Hallstrom, a swedish filmmaker, has spent most of his career in Hollywod, and Gilbert Grape is probably his most successful film next to The Ciderhouse Rules and Chocolat. Johnny Depp appears as Gilbert and Leonardo DiCaprio as is austistic younger brother. They have a hard life out in …

A strange life force has come to the Earth and it is slowly and systematically taking over the humans of the world, at first, it was considered as just a virus but not long afterwards, it was like the aliens had spread far and wide and have taken over …

I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …

From the point of view of its genre and style this movie is a rather unique breed. It is a kind of hybrid, a combination of things and elements which are not very often combined, with a special emphasis of its own. This movie deals with an alien invasion …

The funny thing about the movie Son-in-Law is the fact it’s funny the first time you see it but gets less and less funny every time you watch it.
Pauly Shore might have been yesterday’s Larry the Cable Guy but the reality is his movies really lack any real substance …

Yesterday I saw this movie ‘twilight’, it’s kind of romantic drama and action movie wiyh good effect and nice location. The reason I wanna watch this movie is to see Robert Pattinson. He’s so cute. First time I saw him, he act in the ‘Harry Potter and the goblet …

Frankly speaking my expectations were higher from this film of Will Smith, but this one really disappointed me. The story goes like this:
It is New York city, in 2012, completely devastated and ruined by an incurable disease three years ago, and Robert is the only one who somehow survived …

Do you know what it feels like to wake up early in the morning and find out that a good thing that you expect is coming right? If so, then you understand how I felt when this morning I finally managed to watch the animated movie “Clone Wars” - …

Dead Like Me: Haunted was the final regular episode for this science fiction series about grim reapers. It was Halloween, and it was actually one of their better episodes.
I liked seeing the characters in other types of attire. Jasmine Guy, who is quite beautiful, dressed as a …

The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan, stars Hugh Jackman, Micahael Caine and Christopher Bale. I thought that it was is an action packed thriller movie. It is one of those movies that keeps you right on the edge of suspense and wanting to know what is going …

This story comes to us as viewers with the intentions of scaring us into thinking that there is another world living in the mirrors. Things that are trouble or brought to provocation will attack with lethal intent. When this movie started, it showed a man running for his life …

I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …

The Curse of The Wear Rabbit seem to amaze me when it comes to special effects. I like how they made the clays to move in the scenes as if they were real. I like how they made the clay models seem to be living. I also like how …

I have probably seen Eurotrip a dozen times by now. It’s one of those movies you just have to see all over again. Love and friendship are perfectly combined in this excellent comedy which consists of a trip of a bunch of high-school graduates all over Europe.
The movie shows …

Every month there’s a movie release offering at least a couple of stories where human civilization is threatened by a dark force that is ultimately neutralized with more or less physical or intellectual effort.
In “The World’s End” it is the British actor Simon Pegg’s turn to save the planet. …

I watched this movie a while ago on lifetime movie network. I thought it was pretty good overall. It has Jennie Garth, and Andrea Brown. All of the actors were good. It’s about a high school student that finds she has tested positive for a HIV test. I …

I was a bit disappointed with this movie. I would like to commend Halle Berry for a job well done but the same does not go to the movie as a finished product. I don’t want to call anyone stupid among those who made this film …

I love Alvin and the Chipmunks. I loved the cartoons and I loved the Christmas tapes that I have. I had been wishing that Alvin and the Chipmunks could make a comeback and then all of a sudden BAM! There before me on the television was the trailer for …

Fool’s Gold is a genreless movie fresh to the theaters. Well, they say it has a genre, but once you watch the movie, the genre becomes rather unapparent. The movie is about a bickering married couple (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) on the edge of divorcing who team up …

An Englishman in New York is a 2009 television movie which tells the story of the latter years of the great eccentric Quentin Crisp. The title of the drama is taken from the brilliant song by Sting which plays as the final credits are rolling. I was …

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a hoot and a half! It’s one of the best family films ever. I saw it numerous times in the theater as a child, have viewed it many times on TV, and finally purchased the DVD, which I watch repeatedly. It’s …

During Christmas time, I had decided to buy The Holiday DVD for my friends since I loved this movie; I made all my friends watch it too. I really like the movie as it gives sense of feeling that not all is lost if you break up with the …

The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …

Sally Field is an amazing American actress. She began her career in The Flying Nun, an old television series about a young nun who could fly (this was due to her habit, not wings!). Sally Field has also starred in such wonderful films as Norma Rae, Sybil, Places In …

My hair is unfortunately very untamable at times. That is, until I was given a hot iron by my sister that has worked wonderfully on my hair without causing any damage or dryness. The Wet 2 Straight hot iron from Remington is a product that any boy or girl …

Another fun-filled family adventure movie is here; from the makers of the Ice Age series and Rio, Epic feels to me like a magical combination of The Borrowers and Fern Gulley. I found myself being transported back to my childhood when I would have watched such films. However I …

I wonder what the creators of this movie were thinking. Apparently, they were not thinking at all. A college graduate moves from Iowa to New York and, being short on cash, looks for a cheap apartment. He finds one, and soon finds out why it’s so cheap: it is …

I’ve always liked The Incredible Mr. Limpet from the time I first saw it as a child. It’s just a delightful motion picture that is clever and wonderful to watch. Below are a few thoughts on this DVD, now that I happily have it as part of …

My wife and I rented the remake of the movie Friday the 13th and didn’t know what to expect from it. I figured it would be roughly the same as the original but, shortly after starting it, I realized I don’t remember a thing about the original and couldn’t …

The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …

I did a free trial from netflix a while ago and I also did it a free trial for my cousin not to long ago. The movies took forever to get to me and her both. They are also a little more money than blockbuster. You also can’t take …
