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 …

Malevolence (horror movie)
I kept reading some good reviews about the movie “Malevolence” but when I got to watch it I was very disappointed. It is one of those horror movies where the plot only sounds very good on paper. I thought that the rating should have been average at the very least …
11:14 movie
11:14 is a rather odd and unusual movie. It tells the story in reverse time. It’s not a flashback as we’re used to seeing it, but it literally shows the end result of the action first, then goes back to the next segment before, and then the …

Resident Evil: Apocalypse, apocalyptic fiction action horror film
How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …
A League Of Their Own Movie (1992)
I’m not the biggest fan of sports movies, generally speaking. However, the movie “A League of Their Own” stands alone as just a wonderful movie, regardless of the sports theme. I just recently viewed the film for the second time on one of my satellite movie networks, …
Bedtime Stories
I have been a fan of Walt Disney. It fascinates me to imagine and dream about fantasy. I grabbed a copy of Bedtime Stories and i eagerly played it on my dvd.
By anticipation we thought, and as the title suggests that its the typical story telling time …
Bubble (2005)
I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …

My Name is Bruce movie
When my wife and I sat down to watch the movie My Name is Bruce Saturday afternoon, I wasn’t really expecting much of it. I figured a film about Bruce Campbell playing himself and fighting real monsters would end up being a bit too corny and farfetched for me.

The Bucket List
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …

Movie Good Shepherd (2007)
Don’t go to the new spy drama “The Good Shepherd” expecting to see Matt Damon pull secret agent type as he does in his “Bourne” thrillers.
This Robert De Niro directed film, co starring Angelina Jolie, Billy Crudup, William Hurt, and De Niro himself, concerns weightier matters. Namely, the early …
The Haunted Mansion (movie)
I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …
Inkheart
Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …

The Duff - Teen Movie (2015)
‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …

Burn After Reading
Burn after reading is a 2008 movie of the Coen brothers. I had great expectations but I must say, right here at the beginning, and I got disappointed. First of all when I saw the list of actors; George Clooney, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and the rest …

I saw this movie when it was shown in the big screen and it wasn’t that exciting as I expected it to be. When I first knew that Jason Statham was going to be here I thought it would be a very hot action movie, but it got quite …
Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …

Movie She’s the Man

Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …
Columbo: No Time to Die movie
There were a string of these Columbo movies that really just didn’t quite cut the mustard for me, and this was one of them. I’m not sure what the problem was. Perhaps it’s the lack of star power, that really charismatic murderer that grabbed your attention and …
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …
Movie: Christmas with the Kranks
When I first saw the movie Christmas with the Kranks, I didn’t think it would be a film I would enjoy. I have seen plenty of Tim Allen movies and have liked maybe only one or two; and I don’t go out of my way to watch those on …
