I did not like this movie. This is the first 3D movie I have seen in years and I regret going to it. This movie is horrible compared to all the others. I had expected more.
The move started out ok. Just like all the others, there’s someone that ends …

I am watching this movie on satellite television as I write this review. For what it is this is not a bad movie. Robin Williams stars in RV, a family movie about a man who takes his family on a road trip in a rented RV. I normally do not …

I was lucky enough to see a screening of the movie My Life in Ruins, but I think I had to considering it was a romantic comedy and I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies. It was pretty much what I expected it to be, though I still enjoyed …

I love movies! Especially movies about spies! They’re so action packed, so cool and the spies themselves are so hot! Well most of them are. That was my first impression when I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s trailer for the first time. I was totally blown away!

What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …

At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.
Certain characters, mainly townsfolk, …

Robert Zemeckis, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone. A pantheon of names builds this incredibly well recreated story of Beowulf based on the Norse legend of the same name.

Michael Mann’s depiction of the story Red Dragon with Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter. This film was actually made before The Silent of the Lambs, the second film from the same novel series. Manhunter is made in a completely different style, very close to that colorful look of the …

If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …

Point Break was an action packed movie and a half. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, a director known for pushing the limits and never pulling any punches, Point Break starts at a gallop and never slows down. This was also one of the …

Farce of the Penguins starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Saget was just that, “Farce.”
If one likes crude humor from cute cuddly cartoon characters then this is the movie for them. The whole story’s purpose was to be the parody of the movie, “March of the Penguins” which depicts …

I cannot explain how much I love Con Air. Starring Nicholas Cage and John Cusack, Con Air is one great movie. It is about a man named Poe (played by Cage) who is falsely accused of killing someone when it was self defense. Years later, he is out on …

I didn’t expect to like “Major Movie Star”. I didn’t WANT to like it. I can’t stand Jessica Simpson, and usually I make a religious duty of avoiding all her music and movies - even her commercials!
I hate to admit it: “Major Movie Star” was just downright cute.
Simpson doesn’t …

Dragon Wars is a movie that will be a hit with the pre teen, teen set and the parents who still love fantasy. It is rated PG 13 and definitely not for the younger viewers. The dragons get very nasty, as dragons will. It will be released …

This film captures some breathtaking scenery, as it is set in Africa. The movie itself is breathtaking, but in a deeper and more moving way. The film portrays a diplomat and his wife living in tuberculosis infested Africa. After her death, he finds himself immersed in conspiracy, murder, and …

Robin Williams has been starring in some really interesting films lately. First there was “One Hour Photo” in which he played a lonely psychopathic photo developer. That movie was jarring because you never think that a person who serves others in the community on a regular …

The movie Valentine’s Day is named perfectly and this movie truly qualifies as a romantic comedy in true sense. It has been a while that I have seen such a multi starrer movie. In my opinion the star casting of this movie is working mostly to its advantage. But …

Even thou these types of stories really aren’t my favorite kinds of movies, I’m not much of a romantic mushy movie kind of girl, but this cute, romantic Cinderella style movie is a nice watch when there’s nothing else on and you want a movie you can smile at and …
