I know this movie is a rip off of Jumanji and was therefore given a bad rating, but in all honesty this was actually a pretty good movie. It is especially great for kids witht the exception that the younger brother calls his sibling a dick. This …

Jennifer Garner stars in this 2004 movie and I love catching it over again in DVD as well. She plays this particular woman whom has ‘airs above her’ and she is certainly someone that is going to learn her lesson the most hardest way. That’s because she will …

A real life remake of the animated classic of the same name. Walt Disney’s 101 Dalmatians captured the hearts of many people worldwide using their animated version of the movie and they try their hand at it again with live action. Even this time around with the use of …

The best way to eve try and explain this movie is to compare it with Tarzan and then give it an over all switch in the level of deepness in the character, toss in a heap of comedy and you have yourself a movie that has been remade into …

I have noticed that many people who have reviewed Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen in papers and on the internet have not given it the greatest reviews. I went and saw the movie for myself and I do not completely agree with the reviews. Yes, the movie is …

I saw bits and pieces of this movie at least twice when it was being aired on Starz Cinema, and on about the third time I decided the description of the plot made it seem to be too interesting to not try out. I was cooking when I started …

In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …

This movie had a really nice title, and I thought it had something to do with the mansion that’s all made of glass and as I expected it was, and the owners here in the movie are actually Mr. Terry (Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane) who are …

Generally there are great difficulties in pulling off comedic themes within the arena of war and killing, but this movie succeeded in just that. This movie became a cult classic because of …

Loosely based on the novel by Mary Shelley, this classic horror movie is perhaps one of the better known adaptations.

I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …

As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …

I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
You know what, it really wasn’t as good as I remember it being.
I usually love Martin’s movies. But, this one, where he plays a long-nosed fire chief who is in …

I had heard and read a lot about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before I watched in on DVD yesterday. I have followed the director Terry Gilliam’s career from his Monty Python days, and have very much admired his somewhat strange and eccentric art and movies. I had also …

Have you ever think what life is like for gangsters in the witness protection program? Movies have featured such characters more than once, but other than a bit of snippet at the end of Martin Scorsese’s cult film Goodfellas, I can’t think of any movies that could tell you more …

The War of the Worlds! A fairly self-explanatory title that suggests destruction, possible alien invasion, and a most likely hero to the story. These are all things that you would expect, from a sci-fi like this. However, I became surprised when I viewed this picture film, that some of …

Popular Casts : John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christophe Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah and Zac Efron.

Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …

I was expecting State of Play to follow a common story line for movies about political intrigue, but I was riveted to the screen for most of this movie. While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final one near the end was unexpected. I also dislike the …

I just finished watching “The Fourth Kind” and can’t stop laughing. This was a pathetic attempt at a movie. The premise is similar to the Blair Witch film in that it is presented as a “mockumentary” complete with fake “archive footage and audio.” This is one of those movies …

This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …

I had expected the movie —˜Gomorrah’ to be dark and violent, as the plot is about gangs in modern-day Naples, Italy, and it was certainly as I expected. What I hadn’t expected was that, along with the murder and drugs that are prominently featured in this sub-titled film, the …
