Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …

The Living Daylights movie
A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
I love Kate Hudson’s movies. They’re the kind that you can just enjoy because of the theme. Most of her movies are romantic comedies and when i feel really stressed, all I need is a good laugh. Recently, I watched My Best Friend’s Girl. I have a lot of …
Come to the Stable movie
What a wonderful, inspiring movie Come to the Stable is. I thought I’d already reviewed it, but a check shows I haven’t. Shame on me because this is one of my favorite holiday stories. It makes me feel good inside, and the story contains the Christmas …
Cube Zero
Starring:
Zachary Bennett (Erin Wynn), David Huband (Dodd), Stephanie Moore (Cassandra Rains), Michael Riley (Jax)
Watching this show alternately petrified and fascinated me. Imagine seeing your skin flaking off while you are still conscious; or having your hands, legs and everything being sliced off by razor-sharp wires?
Wynn and Dodd were technicians, …

Cat’s Eye movie
This is an “anthology” film. It features three self contained stories. The closest thing to a link is a stray cat that wanders from location to location and sort of observes the events in the film.
The stories are all based on works by horror master Stephen King. …
Protect and Serve: A Thriller by Vince Flynn
Another installment in Vince Flynn’s popular Mitch Rapp series. As usual, Flynn is right up to date with his settings and back stories.
Mitch Rapp is one of the better developed characters in popular action fiction. Flynn makes the hardbitten undercover operative the kind of guy we wish worked for …
Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …

I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …

7 Pounds starring Will Smith
In today’s society of “I”, “me” and “myself”, 7 Pounds is a story of selflessness. The film stars Hollywood star Will Smith as he went on to give “himself” to 7 deserving individuals as penance for the seven lives he destroyed in a freak accident.
Aside from the Pursuit …

North by Northwest movie
Perhaps the most famous and beloved of all Hitchcock’s films, made in a time when his artistic vision and innovative genius was at its absolute peak. The theme is very similar to all of his films: a man is mistaken for someone else and has to run away from …
Valentine’s Day (2010) movie
Valentine’s day was pretty much set up to do great, from its very release. The cast they had was just ridiculous in size and talent. It ranges from Julia Roberts to Taylor Swift in the most experienced actors to ones with very little experience.
The story itself is very …
The World is Not Enough movie
The World is Not Enough is a film that in my opinion should never have been made. It’s another 007 film starring Pierce Brosnan for the third time, and it was very successful at the box office. The whole concept of James Bond has been held alive all these …
Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …
Tribes movie
From 1970, the movie Tribes is not a favorite. It took me three times to actually get through the movie, though I will say that once my frame of mind was preferred for the type of movie it was going to be, I got through it fairly easily.
Jan …
Finding Nemo
Pixar does it again. Besides Cars, I have LOVED every Pixar movie, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall e,; and Finding Nemo was no exception. In my opinion, they can to no wrong. This “kids” movie is one the best movies …
Bratz Babyz movie
I’ve always said, if it keeps my daughter occupied, it’s a great movie. And, Bratz Babyz is one of those movies.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb plot. A bunch of toddler girls are able to wander a mall unsupervised without anyone noticing while trying to rescue their kidnapped dog. …
Dreamgirls
I give this movie five stars. After leaving the theater, I wiped the tears out of my eyes and headed to the nearest place I could buy the soundtrack. Don’t mistake me, this is not a sappy movie, but it does pull on your emotions. After a month of …

The Last Kiss DVD
One of my favorite actors, Zach Braff (from the movie Garden State, and the popular tv show Scrubs), stars in a movie from 2006 called The Last Kiss. The movie is rate R for sexuality, nudity, and language. It’s only 103 minutes, so the movie isn’t stretched out. I …

Coraline (Animation)
Coraline, the animation movie, is pretty scary. I don’t know if most kids would love to watch this. However, I find this to be like a dark animation or some sort and don’t mind watching.
Kids nowadays are more braver, so I think they can take this. With voice-over …

Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
Dead Birds movie
“Dead Birds” is one of my friend’s favourite horror movies, and he kept insisting that I watch it, and so I did. Up to now, I still think the movie, which I believe is a low budget B-rated horror film, is one of the best B-rated horror films …
He’s Just Not That Into You - Movie
I thought this is going to be another boring chick flick, but looking at the cast; with Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, I knew deep inside that it is definitely a babes galore! And I’m right. Even if you don’t love this story plot, for guys …

Second Sight movie

The Sound Of Music movie
Here is another favorite film of mine and of many others I know. Everyone must have seen the wild actics of this strange family and the new comer to the household. I even got me a whistle. “The hills are alive” hmmm, are they really, “with the sound of …
