Ella Enchanted is a fun movie that is good for all ages. It is a fantasy, taking place in an imaginary world where magic is real. When baby Ella is born, a fairy grants her the “gift” of obedience. This means that every time someone gives …

I saw the movie “The Watchmen” recently and I really liked it, however I wouldn’t recommend it to parents with children under age 15.
The movie itself was fantastic, the camerawork was wonderful, the actors were great, and the dialog was witty.
However, I have a borderline large issue with the …

The Ghost and the Darkness, directed by Stephen Hopkins is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for some violence and gore involving animal attacks. The original rlease date for this movie was October 11, 1996 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …

I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is a movie about two sisters. Baby Jane Hudson was a child star who never got past the adoration of cheering crowds and a father who spoiled her. Blanche Hudson, her older sister, was a shy and reserved child who ended up being the …

After watching the movie JOCKER, I stood up and started applauding. True, I was the only person in the audience who did so, but I made my feelings known. And now I will try to convey them to you.

Arthur Fleck is a typical loser. He lives with his mother, gets …

Twilight was such a great movie with so many different scenes that I loved with so many hot guys and characters that blew my mind away and captured my heart. I love how the plot revolves around a group of vampires with one the vampires falling in love with a …

Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …

One Missed Call is a complete waste of time and I’m not saying that because I was disappointed or because I didn’t like one actor, but because this movie was absolutely horrible. The sad thing is that I was really excited to see this movie and had been for …

I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …

Woman’s World is an oldie but goodie. The movie was made in 1954 and some might call it dated, but I watched this movie a lot growing up and really like it. I wish I could find it on DVD or that cable would air it.
The vehicle …

I knew going in that this movie was going to be bad, but really, this movie is terrible.
The story is wafer thin, it follows Chun-Li (who’s played by Kristin Kreuk even though the younger version of her is played by an Asian girl) as she tries to find her …

Horror movie fans have been subjected to numerous ghastly, teen-driven horror flicks in recent years. “The Messengers”, “Pulse”, and “The Eye” are just a few of the countless titles that fall into that category, but nestled in among the dreck are a few classics that are a must see …

I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …

The first time I ever watched Napolean Dynamite, I thought it was prehaps the worst movie ever made. Since then however I have gotten an appreciation for this movie. For the most part its a bout a nerdy high school student and his expolits. After the second, or third …

I am reviewing the movie, Blades of Glory, starring Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell plays a sex-addicted, skating champ named Chazz Michael Michaels. He is banned from competing in men’s skating when he gets into a fight with his nemesis, Jimmy MacElroy, who is a co-gold medallist. They are …

Again we have the slasher thriller that isn’t quite a slasher. In this film we have the typical group of college students who decide that while on their trip to Mexico, they should explore some ancient ruins. They are not concerned with the fact that they …

Alfred Hitchcock’s final film, Family Plot is a gentle little final film for one of cinema’s greatest filmmaker’s ever. It is thrilling but it is not one of his trips into the world of stark horror that he delved into with Psycho or the Birds.
And this suits him just …

Pay It Forward is a nice movie in the genre of drama. The movie stars Haley Joel Osment, Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey. Haley Joel Osment, the kid who impressed everyone with his powerful performance in The Sixth Sense plays the pivotal role in this movie and he doesn’t …

I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen High Society, but the opportunity presented itself again recently, so I gave it a watch. Overall, it’s just a cute and bubbly movie with Grace Kelly putting on airs and Bing Crosby as the down the earth pal who just …

My wife and I picked up the movie Cut Off this past weekend and didn’t really know what to expect from it. It looked somewhat decent from the description on the back. But, as I told my wife, it also looked as though it could end up being some …

In the beautiful science fiction film “Starman”, Jeff Bridges plays an alien who comes to Earth in response to an invitation on the space probe Voyager II. It was a message of peace; but in typically human fashion, the military shoots down the alien craft, and the visitor is …

A character-driven story about a Texas county sheriff who is confronted with his father’s life when finding some items in the middle of the desert. What has earlier been told about his father proves not to be the way things actually occurred, and the further the film progresses, the …

The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …

As I mentioned before I like watching classic movies, especially classic horror and suspense films. about a year or two ago I decided to try watching some silent films too just out of curiosity to see what they were like and fun, and one of the movies I watched …

Synopsis: This sequel to the movie The Fast and The Furious sees Paul Walker’s character (now no longer a cop) helping out the customs department in an effort to bust a drug dealer with the help of one of his friends.
What I liked about this movie: Much like the …

Starring: Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo
I keep waiting for Jennifer Anniston to wow me and star in a movie where she doesn’t act in the exact same way as her character from “Friends”, Rachel Green. “Rumour Has It” is not the movie to change my perception …

My roommate was under the mistaken impression that this was a Tim Burton film. In actuality, Tim Burton had nothing to do with it, but you can see why he would be under that impression.
The movie is based off of a novel by Neil Gaiman, of “Sandman” fame. …

There have been a few projects out of Hollywood by the title of Shell Game. This particular one is a movie that starred John Davidson and aired in 1975. The program was actually a pilot that didn’t sell.
Davidson had all the requirements for this character of Max …

One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …

This was on comedy central today so I watched it because I have never seen it. Even though it’s an old movie I really enjoyed it. I thought it was quite funny. There were a couple of parts that I thought were stupid. For the most part it was …

“Mama” might was not a very good or frightening horror movie. In actuality I actually thought that it came off as quite boring, predictable and cliche at times. I am one of Guillermo del Toro’s fans and I expected a lot more from a movie associated with him even …

Whoopi Goldberg plays multiple characters in this wise cracking tale of ‘if you can do it, so can I’. firstly she plays the character of Laurel Ayres, a career driven, smart woman who is trying to make a name for herself as a successful Wall Street broker. When she …

I watched “Fred Claus” today with my family. It was an overall pretty good movie. I wouldn’t give it a ten or anything but it is worth watching, especially around the holidays and Christmas. It has Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamitti, Kevin Spacey, and Kathy Bates. You would think with …

Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …

I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …

I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …

Regal Natomas Marketplace 16 is the only theater near my house. Its located right on the boarder of a bad neighborhood. I would never go to this theater at night by myself. There is a rough crowd that hangs around it a night. The theaters always smell really bad, …

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 …

I generally detest most movies with the comedian Melissa McCarthy playing a major role in them because I just don’t think she’s that funny. However, when I was sitting in the theatre watching another movie and I saw the trailer for this one I decided, “Hey, why not give this …

You have to be one of those people who really likes foreign cinema to truly enjoy and appreciate this film. Set in France, a woman seeking therapy for her troubled marriage ends up at a tax analyst’s office by mistake. Before the analyst can divulge that …

I recently purchased the movie Valerie on the Stairs on the recommendation of a good friend. I bought the DVD second-hand at a going-out-of-business sale at a rental store for $3.50, USD. My friend was incredibly interested to hear this, as he had only seen it once or twice …

I love thriller, horror and drama movies but for the life of me I cannot classify this movie. I had a problem with the first scene. When the movie started Kristen, the main female character, was crying but I never really understood why she was crying. I had to …
