Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …
Cool World movie
One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.

School of Rock
I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
It is hard to believe that A New Hope is the first Star Wars film ever, although when it comes to chronological sequencing, it is actually the middle of the whole six-film lineup. I can still remember when this film was first shown, I think everyone in the …
Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (horror movie)
I felt in the mood to watch a paranormal horror movie that would probably keep me awake and paranoid for the rest of the night, but I couldn’t exactly figure out what to watch. It was then that I remembered that the movie “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” seemed to …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie

Three Wishes DVD

The Wedding Date movie
A low budget movie turns out sophisticatedly neat. Starring Debra Messing (of Will and Grace) as Katherine, a New Yorker, looking for a for-hire-date that she could bring to London for her half sister’s wedding.
A light kind of story full of cinematographically neat shots at perfectly chosen places at …

You Don’t Mess With The Zohan
I have been an Adam Sandler fan for many years now and I really do enjoy all of his movies. You Don’t Mess With The Zohan is his latest movie. I really like him doing this film because it gave him a new identity. I love how he was …

Mr. Woodcock
When I saw the previews for the movie Mr. Woodcock, I didn’t know what to expect. With Sean William Scott and Billy Bob Thornton, I figured it would be a lot of slapstick but not much substance. But, I have to admit, after watching it, I was impressed.
Scott plays …

IMDb is the international movies database, and for good reason. The sheer size of the amount of movies covered on this website is simply unsurpassed, I’d say. Every movie has a page, even if all is listed is a simple title. But rest assured, that situation will only persist …

Brothers (2009) movie
