The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …
Nothing But the Truth: A Compelling Movie
I watched Nothing But the Truth starring Kate Beckinsale and Matt Dillon and I was really impressed with the story and the acting. It’s a story about a journalist who compromises the identity of a female CIA agent. Rachel Armstrong (Kate Beckinsale) was facing the full might of the …
Wild Strawberries (Movie) 1957
Wild Strawberries was written and directed by the notoriously intellectual Ingmar Bergman and was released in 1957 to critical acclaim. Commonly, Bergman is known as a gloomy, philosophical director who has a preoccupation with death which is enough to put a lot of people off. Well, his …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I liked the animated versions of the Chipmunks movies past gone, and even if they air today we can all find some joy watching Alvin get his brother into serious trouble, but this new creation is just not cutting it for me, I saw this movie on HBO over …
The Last Airbender the movie
The live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, certainly leaves much to be desired. The premise of the movie retains the same plotline as the cartoon. After100 years of being trapped beneath the ice, Avatar Aang has awoken to …
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue movie
Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue from 1955 was apparently filmed from a live stage show. In fact, the master of ceremonies, Willie Bryant, calls it the Harlem Variety Review at the very beginning.
Now there is some speculation that Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue should actually be 75 minutes long, but …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two
I went to the theater this weekend to see the 3D version of the latest Harry Potter movie: Deathly Hallows Part Two. Since it is the final movie in the series, I was very excited. I’d wanted to see a 3D Harry Potter movie for a long …
Envy movie
Envy is a drama movie starred by ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Rachel Weisz. If we watch this movie, we will get a lot of message to us because the story maybe is the same with our life.
The story is about two bestfriends Tim (Ben Stiller) and Nick (Jack …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
Butterfly Effect (2004)
First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …
Walk The Line movie
This is a 2005 biography film about Johnny Cash, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter. The film starts from Cash’s early childhood, and progresses throughout his life, telling an interesting story that I thought I knew already, I found out I knew …
Veggie Tales: The Pirates who don’t do anything
I’ve sat down to watch Veggie Tale movies with my daughter before. But, I’ve only done it to be nice; I’ve rarely enjoyed the experience. However, the movie The Pirates who don’t do Anything, is definitely an exception. I actually liked the movie as much as she did.
Unlike other …
What a Way to Go!
This comedy is a real hoot! The cast of What a Way to Go! is first rate, a truly phenomenal group of actors who all surround the female star, Shirley MacLaine. Shirley plays Louisa May Foster, a girl from a humble family who really only wants to …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have enjoyed both the previous Bourne movies, but I HAVE to say that the last one The Bourne Ultimatum was by far my favourite! I am usually not that much into watching sequels - but the Bourne Sequels just got better and better as they went along! …
Latin Lovers movie
From 1953, Latin Lovers was a fun romantic comedy about a woman with a whole lot of money she didn’t really care about. Played by Lana Turner, Nora Taylor would rather be in love than deal with her $37 million dollars. Persuing her is confident Paul Chevron, …

Evolution (Movie 2001)
David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Julianne Moore, Seann William Scott and Dan Aykroyd star in this science-fiction film with non-stop laughter. Spawning from single celled organisms, comes and laugh out load, side splitting adventure to save the world. There are so many movies about the end of the world as …
Interview with a Vampire (Movie)
Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …
Danville Stadium Cinemas, Danville Virginia
The Georgia Theatre Company operates many movie theatres in the southern areas of the United States, and Virginia is no exception. The only theater provided in the Danville, VA area is the Danville Stadium Cinemas 12 (although I’m unsure of why the name is plural).
As the Danville Stadium is …
Suspect X - (Japanese movie with English subtitles)
I thought that this is going to be a super amazing movie story but it just disappoints me to the max. The actors aren’t that bad looking and quite talented and this is like a normal cop movie where Suspect X is the mystery in the story. Yukawa …
Movie: Penelope
“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …
Side Effects (movie)
Side Effects was one of those movies that I didn’t watch because of how if was apparently received by quite a number of people. It didn’t even get a great rating on it’s IMDB page and so I just left it or ignored it till I eventually forgot about it. …
Clerks 2 Movie
I have been a huge Kevin Smith fan for quite some time, so I was very excited when the movie Clerks 2 was released and headed out to the theater to be one of the first to see it. Overall, I really enjoyed the film. If you have never …
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
I have to say that I loved Ace Ventura Pet Detective the first time I saw it. I must say this is probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Jim Carey was at his very best in this movie. This was back in the …
DVD Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.
I’ve been reviewing several of Paul Naschy’s films on here lately. Naschy was Spain’s reigning king of horror in the late …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
Super Mario World - The Wheel Thing
Super Mario World - “The Wheel Thing” is an episode that surpasses the premier episode in action, comedy, animation and music. This one of my favorite episodes of the cartoon series for a couple of reasons. For one, King Koopa and one of his sons, Kooky, actually present themselves …
Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …
Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Prime movie
The recent romantic comedy staring Uma Thurman entilted Prime didn’t seem to fit the usual mold. It was always my opinion that romantic comidies should make you feel good and escape from reality. Prime was a closer fit to the roller coaster that is love.
The movie had …
Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)
Twilight Zone: The Movie, is a made of the big screen movie off the famous television series. Many people used to tune in to take in and see what new is in store for us whenever the Twilight Zone airs. Each episode takes you on a dark ride deep …
The Hannah Montana Movie
My daughter loves Hannah Montana (even though she rarely watches the show) so we ended up renting Hannah Montana: The Movie for her. Turns out she barely even sat through the beginning but at least my wife and I ended up loving it.
I actually kind of like the show …
Movie The Bad Seed
I can remember the day that my father introduced this movie to me. I can remember each and every detail of it like I’d seen it just yesterday. After all, how could i forget a movie whose main character was an eight-year-old sociopathic child who killed without a conscience …
Frankie and Alice (2014 Film)
I remember hearing about the film Frankie and Alice back when it was first released in 2010, but never taken the time to watch it until the recent release in 2014.
As a fan of Halle Berry, I was eager to see this film. She is a fantastic actress, that brings …
Million Ways To Die In The West, movie
When I walked into the theater recently to watch the offering by the emperor of the Fox Animation Domination universe Seth MacFarlane’s into the world of the Wild West, I thought that I was going to be hit square between the eyes with a perfect combination of my two …
Air Force One movie
Harrison Ford starred as the President of the United States in Air Force One, a 1997 action thriller. The picture was full of fine performers: Glenn Close, Paul Guilfoyle, William H. Macy, Dean Stockwell, and Gary Oldman, just to name a few. It was high on adventure …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is another classic that I keep watching repeatedly. In fact, just recently I bought the collector’s edition. This film is just amazing, and not only because actress Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen with her presence and fashion style. I think the film …
The Thin Red Line movie
A war story by the poetic filmmaker Terrence Malick. He created the visually stunning films Days of Heaven and Badlands back in the 1970s, then he didn’t make a film until his come back with this film more than 20 years later. I don’t think it is as engaging …
Cloverfield (2008)
Cloverfield takes place in New York City. The story is that a video camera was found at a “ground zero” site, somewhere near Central Park. On the camera, you begin to see a movie as you would watching a home video. Eventually, after an introduction to the movie to …

Synopsis: This documentary (which was produced by World Wrestling Entertainment) gives a behind-the scenes look at the now defunct World Championship Wrestling franchise and how it rose from it’s regional roots to a national syndication only to ultimately crash and burn at the very end.
What I liked about this …
Little Women
Little Women on DVD is not quite the same experience as reading the classic story. I love both versions though. The novel started in 1869, and there are just so much characters to view and enjoy with. The story revolves around a mother and 4 of …
Music and Lyrics
Where do you get your inspiration in anything? The movie “Music and Lyrics” tries to answer that question, and in this case, for a song.
The movie tells the story of Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant), a ‘has-been’ 80’s pop star who’s trying to revive his career. The chance comes when …
Wicker Man (2006 movie)
Nicholas Cage stars in this mystery/drama/horror type movie. He finds himself on a remote island populated mostly by women. His task is to find a missing child who might also be his daughter.

Caramel (2008)
I watched a DVD movie titled Caramel the other night and I have nothing but praise for this movie, really. It showcases the extremely talented Lebanese actress cum Director Nadine Labaki, which she directs this movie herself. This is a story of how a few women, mostly …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …
Movie: Return of the Living Dead
I was in the mood for a good zombie movie this past weekend. Well, to be more accurate, I was in the mood for any zombie movie since I know finding a good one is kind of hard.
A few weeks ago, I had recorded the film Return of the …
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
I love Star Wars Attack of the Clones, and who would not? This to me is the most awaited part of the series where finally I get to see Master Yoda kick some serious butt. I am just fascinated by the Yoda character. It is just …
