The Holiday movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Joe Black, Cameron Diez, and Jude Law. Kate Winslet’s character is a fool for love, but the problem is, the guy she love doesn’t love her back. She’s involved in a game of cat and mouse as he …
Number 23
Although Jim Carrey is known for his comedy movies, he did an amazing job in this movie. I was a little reluctant because I didn’t know how good he would be in this type of movie and the previews looked good I was a little worried about him being …
Next of Kin
Next of Kin was the movie Patrick Swayze did after Road House. He played a hillbilly cop, living in Chicago, where the movie was filmed. Helen Hunt was cast as his wife, and his two brothers were played by Liam Neeson and Bill Paxton. The crux …

Urban Legend
Urban Legend is one of the few horror movies that I can watch again and again, no matter how many times I have seen it. It almost feels like the writers and producers wanted to make a movie that appeals to horror movie fans. I love watching it just …
Movie: Angels & Demons
I finally got around to watching the movie Angels & Demons last night. And, to be honest with you, that decision was based almost solely on the fact I couldn’t find anything better to watch at the time.
I have had the book this movie is based off of for …
Mission Impossible 3 (movie)
My boyfriend and I are serious movie freaks…we own a serious amount of DVD’s and go to see new movies all the time. So naturally, we went to see M:I 3 on it’s opening weekend. Theatres were packed. Line ups and waits were ridiculous. And as always, you had …
Movie: City Slickers
Synopsis: Three middle-aged friends decide to go on a wild west vacation and participate in a real-life cattle drive.
What I liked about this movie: When this film first came out, I was still in high school and, while I found it a bit funny, I really had no understanding …
Wild Things 2, thriller film by Jack Perez
Here’s a sequel to that movie with two famous actresses who kissed each other on screen. Ticket sales were pretty high for Wild Things and video sales were much bigger just for one scene. It would only make sense to cash-in on that one sequence and make Wild Things …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …
Movie Next
Overall this was an alright movie. It has Nicolas Cage in it who plays a guy who can see what happens in the future, but only 2 minutes ahead of time other than this girl who he meets…he has seen her way before 2 minutes. Jessica Biel plays that …
The Delta Force (1986)

Madea’s Family Reunion
Incorporating the talents of such legends as Dr. Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson along with the inspirational storyline, Tyler Perry has done it again. If you are not familiar with the extremely popular Tyler Perry plays and movies, you are missing out on what many believe to be classics …
The Usual Suspects
The Usual Suspects is in my opinion, one of the best and most clever movies of all time. It’s one of those movies where you don’t really fully understand what is happening until the very last frame. The story (which one an oscar for best screenplay) is …

The Fall of the Roman Empire movie
A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …
Movie : We Were Soldiers (2002)
Ahh.. It’s such a shame that everybody is harping on about Mad Mel being insane ans things like that, because truthfully his legacy in film is one of the greatest of all time. with films like MAD MAX, THE PATRIOT, DIE HARD and many others already under his belt, …

A mentally disturbed woman I wonder when her mind turned. Did it happen when she saw her husband coupling with another woman, or had it always been part of her psyche waiting for the right moment to erupt?
Melanie, …
X Men the Last Stand
Ok I will X men a lot. And I think the first two movies were pretty good. But the 3rd one was just horrible. I mean they had way to many characters and there was way to much going on at the same time in the movie.I couldn’t really keep …

There is a belief that spirits or ghosts can speak through the voice stomach. Perhaps this is correct. In a small city, used to live a lover doll named Mary Shaw advanced voice doll with the voice stomach. Mary died when the mysterious, the body buried with the dolls …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010 film)
I had a pretty good grasp of the significant things that happened in the last book of the harry potter series. Deathly Hallows finally brought closure to the story I have read since grade school. Bluntly speaking, I am an ardent reader and fan of all harry …
Poseidon movie
It took me almost forever to get around to watching Poseidon even though it’s already been re-made and the original has been on the video store shelves for some time. It’s no Titanic, but it is still an interesting movie about people who try to survive a sinking ship.
I …
Alfred Hitchcock’s ROPE (1948)
Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ is usually hailed as a classic among his work, getting on top ten lists and people still being talked about today. Sadly all that seems to be discussed is his famous use of the ten minute take, and the gay subtexts the film exhibits in relation …
Bulletproof
Adam Sandler has attempted to do dramas in the past and has failed miserably. Ironically, the best drama he has is one that was supposed to have been a comedy; Bulletproof.
The thing I like about Bulletproof is, even though you do have some funny moments in it, the movie …
Zodiac (2007 film)
I was really disappointed by “Zodiac,” because at first glance it seemed to be the kind of material that was right up director David Fincher’s alley, what with his similarly dark, previous forays into thriller territory, like “Panic Room” and especially “Se7en.” But “Zodiac” has nowhere near the kind …
“Grindhouse” (2007 double feature)
“Grindhouse” consists of two wildly entertaining films, “Planet Terror,” written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, and “Death Proof,” written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Both fall into a category that can partially be described as an homage to low-budget exploitation cinema popular in the 1970’s and the kind of …
Evan Almighty
When we rented the movie Evan Almighty, I didn’t know what to expect. The orginal film, Bruce Almighty, was pretty good but sequels aren’t always as good as the original.
We found that, not only was it a great movie, it had a good message too. In fact, my …
Meet the Parents Movie
An insane comedy with Ben Stiller and an aged Robert De Niro. Stiller is a young nervous man who comes to meet his parents in law for the first time, which results in chaos and lots of humoristic situations. I personally think Ben Stiller is a talented comedian, but …
Rumor Has It movie
I had doubts when I rented another Jennifer Aniston movie, since she tends to be hit or miss. But, I was very surprised at how funny Rumor Has It was.
Anniston is great as a woman who is on the verge of a breakdown after finding out her family is …
The Heaven Above Berlin movie
In the late 1980s, Wim Wenders went back to Germany after working in Hollywood for a number of years and made The Heaven Above Berlin that has been acclaimed as a masterpiece by certain people. It tells the story of an angel, played by the great Bruno Ganz, who …
Sex and A Girl
I love this DVD movie called Sex and A Girl. I bought it for about $16.00. This story is about Alex, a 16 year old girl, who dreams of becoming a ballerina. She has ultra liberal hippy people as parents.
The story starts to get interesting when …
The Seven Samurai Movie
“The Seven Samurai” filmed by Akira Kurosawa in 1954 still remains one of the most popular movies of all times. Almost a three and a half hours long, the movie runs with subtitles, so be warned if you find having to read subtitles annoying.
The story takes place in 16 …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
Ghost Busters movie
My wife and I have been spending a great deal of time watching the show Ghost Hunters. So, as a change of pace, I decided to watch what I like to refer to as the original Ghost Hunters; the movie Ghost Busters.
This film, though a bit dated, is still …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
Meet the Robinsons
Lately, when I’ve seen a Disney cartoon, I’ve been very disappointed in it. It seems Disney makes an effort to make a children’s cartoon but, in the interest of attracting an older crowd, always tries to make the cartoon more adult. The end result is nobody really enjoys it.
Meet …
The Wicker Man, Neil LaBute Movie
‘The Wicker Man’ is a remake of the 1973 movie titled the same and be appointed from the novel ‘Ritual’ works of Anthony Shaffer. Nicholas Cage (The Rock, the World Trade Center) provides the latest version of this once listed as one of the producers. He may feel this …
Deep Impact
I’m not really big into Science Fiction, but this movie rocks! I could never get sick of seeing it. In case you haven’t ever seen it, here’s the basic plot. It’s about an asteroid that has a course headed straight for Earth. The part I find most interesting about …
Erin Brokovich
I have adored Julia Roberts since Pretty Woman and Sleeping with the Enemy. I had seen Erin Brokovich when I was in my teens and although I enjoyed the movie, I did not really understood it. I had an opportunity to watch it during my own free time and …
The Last Legion
The Last Legion is a must watch DVD movie starring the ever sweet and sexy Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai and also the handsome Colin Firth. What is the story about, you might wonder, and how on earth a Bollywood actress had been featured in this movie…?
Well, that’s not important. …
