Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie
I ended up staying up a bit late last night and came across the movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I have seen it before, but I hadn’t seen it in a while so I took the time to watch it.
This movie is one of the most suprising movies …
A Cinderella Story Movie
Even thou these types of stories really aren’t my favorite kinds of movies, I’m not much of a romantic mushy movie kind of girl, but this cute, romantic Cinderella style movie is a nice watch when there’s nothing else on and you want a movie you can smile at and …

Happy Feet (2006)
When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …
Love, Simon (2018, Movie)
Love, Simon is a movie released in 2018, based on the book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. It stars Nick Robinson as Simon Spier, a young teen in high school who has one mysterious secret.

The Hunger Games movie
This movie had gotten mixed reviews. The general consensus is that people who have read the book were disappointed, while people who haven’t read the book liked it a bit more. I fall into the latter.
I found it to be quite enjoyable. It was well paced, …
Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison. Forman uses an epic style to tell this story, and that works very …
House of the Dead (2003)
House of the Dead (2003) is a horror film by German director Uwe Boll and is rated R for pervasive strong violence/gore, language and some nudity.

Young At Heart
I recommend everyone to watch this, Young At Heart. This is something that I would recommend any senior citizen to watch. As we grow old, we become more sensitive and prone to feelings that we might not succumb to should we are young.
This movie is about a group …
Kit Kittredge - American Girl Movie
I recently took my daughter to a preview of the Kit Kittredge Movie. It was the package deal offered by American Girl in Manhattan. For $44, we saw the movie and had dinner at the American Girl Cafe. Also included were, a tee shirt for my …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: the movie
I’ve not read word one of the Harry Potter books, but I have generally found the movies to be a decent diversion.
At this point in the series, I am torn between Prisoner of Azkahban and Goblet of Fire as my favorite.
The latest, Order of the Phoenix, is in a …
Pirates 3
After waiting for one long year, the third (and last?) part of the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy finally arrived. My daughter and I both attended an opening night show. We thought it was great! The effects, as was the case in the first two movies, …
American Beauty movie
The movie “American Beauty” is a great film that will definitely become an American classic. Millions of Americans have enjoyed the movie, but my experience with the film is unique.
About five years ago, my friends and I watched this film, and we still watch it to this day. …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …
Freakazoid: Season 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Freakazoid to come out on DVD ever since I accidentally taped over a couple of episodes on my home-made VHS set (whoops). Warner Brothers has finally heard the cries of fans and has given us a three-disc set of the first season. The episodes …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Event Horizon movie
Paul W.S. Anderson brings us one of his best cinematic efforts with Event Horizon, an original science fiction horror.
Sam Neill leads the cast as Dr. Weir, a scientist who in the not so distant future creates a revolutionary device which allows for swift interstellar travel. His creation; the ship …
Corpse Bride movie
I think Corpse Bride was a great film. It was very dark and had lots of feeling in it. And it was a tale told in the classic Tim Burton style. I really liked the story and thought it was both very dark, yet very romantic. I really loved the …
Tell No One - (starring Kristin Scott Thomas)
How would one feel when the wife of a few years dead in a high-profile murder case suddenly sends a message indicating her existence? That’s more or less the plot of Tell No One, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Francois Cluzet.
Margot is the name of the wife …
Pearl Harbor
First off, I am a BIG Jerry Bruckheimer fan and am always excited to see one of his movies. HOWEVER, not even the Jerry Bruckheimer name can save the mess of a movie that is Pearl Harbor. The first hour or so of the movie contains some …
Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West
PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles is everything that has come to be expected from a Pixar animated movie and is great fun for the entire family. A new take on the story of a superhero and his super family was a welcome breather. While other movie studios have been and continue to …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Okay so before I’ve ever seen any Harry Potter movies I’ve always read the book first. Half Blood Prince is the first Harry Potter movie I’ve watched without reading the book before, and it granted a different experience. The thing is I heard so many Harry Potter fans complaining …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
Red (2010 movie)
Red is an 2010 action, comedy and crime movie starring one of my favourite actors Morgan Freeman. The movie was directed by Robert Schwentke. I am not a fan of action and crime movies, but I truly love the combination of action and crime with comedy. I watched the …
Breakin All The Rules Movie
Breakin all the rules
This movie is basically about how the wrong people are in relationships together and then they eventually get with their soulmate or so it seems. That was my interpretation of it but i am sure if someone else watched it, they will say another story. Why? …

Storm Warning
Storm Warning is a movie full of blood, guts and gore. If you are not up for this sort of violence and horror, you do not want to watch Storm Warning! Sometimes I can really appreciate a good horror movie filled with all sort of blood and guts. Recently …
A Walk to Remember
If you want a good movie to cry at, A Walk to Remember is that movie for you. The main characters are played by Shane West and Mandy Moore. It’s based on a high school girl with terminal illness. She’s different from everyone else but people can’t help but …
Sleuth
Sleuth is a mystery, thriller and suspense type movie about Andrew. Andrew is a mystery writer with a wild imagination. I think it is quite amusing that the main character of the movie that is a mystery type film will have the main character as a mystery writer. Sometimes …
Flushed Away
I enjoyed this movie for its settings more than anything else. It is an interesting concept to view the surface world above as �up there�, and to have an entire city, Ratopolis, below, loosely resembling London. The film primarily reminded me of Romancing the Stone. The female lead, Rita, …
The Mummy (1999)
The Mummy, directed by Stephen Sommers is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for pervasive adventure violence and some partial nudity.

Barnyard
I have recently purchased this movie and watched it with both my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren. The first thing I noticed was that the male cows, steers, bulls, whatever they are, have utters. My grandkids of course paid this no attention but I am assuming older children …
The Wicker Man Remake
This is, without a doubt, one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. Of course, at the same time, it is also one of the funniest, solely because it is one of the most pitiful excuses for entertainment I have ever encountered. Which is a …
Dark Mountain movie
1944’s Dark Mountain is a really nice B-motion picture. Certainly, there’s nothing stellar in this less than one hour movie, but the story is entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while watching it.
Robert Lowery starred as a forest ranger named Don Bradley. I have no idea who …
Battle: Los Angeles (movie)
I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews about the movie “Battle: Los Angeles”. I’ve read bad ones, where people say it’s one of the worst movies they’ve seen, and that it’s a waste of time and money; and I’ve read good ones, where people say it’s one of …
Before Sunset movie 2004
Before sunset is a 2004 movie which is a follow-up to the first movie which is titled the before sunrise and starred by the same cast from the previous movie. The movie is first set in a bookstore when Jesse and Celine met again by chance after 9 …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …
Despicable Me (2010) movie
Well I decided to go see this movie with the girl day after opening day and the theater was packed with excitement and I can not lie I was ready and in the mood for a good laugh and this movie did not fail or that at all.
The …
Cats movie
The classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, originally based on a novel by T.S. Eliot, here transferred to the cinema.
I think it was a very colorful thing to look at, and some of the songs are unforgettable, but overall I think this felt more like a filmed musical stage …

Grave of the Fireflies
This “anime” film from Japan by Isao Takahata deals with a lot more realistic theme than those found in the most famous anime creator Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies tells the heartbreaking story of some children who survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in the 1940s. It is very …
Garden of Death movie
I am reviewing the movie, Garden of Death, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 2000, was produced by Brian True-May, and was based off the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, tea is the answer! This film revolves around the village’s uproar …
The Wedding Singer movie
The Wedding Singer, starring Drew Barrymoore and Adam Sandler, is one of my favorite movies because it makes you believe in love.
Set in the 80’s it has a fun and funky tone. If this isn’t your favorite decade you might not enjoy it so much, but I was …
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is a comedy movie starring Woody Allen and Helen Hunt. The movie was directed by Woody Allen. I always liked Woody Allen’s movies and I believe that he is one of the finest directors of Hollywood. He has directed many great movies but …
