Singing Babies - Nursery Rhyme Time DVD

Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
White Noise movie
White Noise is yet another scary movie that wasn’t so scary. The movie is about people who try to contact ghosts using EVP. I mean some small parts of the movie were actually scary. But I thought most, of the movie was not scary at all. So as I was …
John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …
Family Guy : Blue Harvest
Ever since Star Wars was filmed, several movies have attempted to spoof it with limited success. Who would have thought the best ever spoof comes from a television series I used to not even like.
We rented the first ever feature film from Family Guy; Blue Harvest. And, I will …
Murder at 1600
I just watched “Murder at 1600″ in which Wesley Snipes plays Detective Harlan Regis trying to solve the murder of a young secretary in the White House.
This is an action adventure movie.
A janitor is arrested quickly for the murder however, Regis is not sure he is the true …

Havoc (R, 2005) movie
Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …
Jane Eyre Movie 1970
This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …
Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray, who in my opinion is the greatest comedian since Groucho Marx, appears in the film a journalist who has to relive a day over and over. Apparently there is something he does wrong in this did and he tries to figure out what it is, but as …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First off: “The Hobbit - an unexpected journey” looks absolutely amazing on a big screen, especially when viewed through 3D glasses. Not only do the scenic landscapes cover you in goosebumps, the amount of details is also awe-inspiring. Every single wart on every single, butt ugly ork, every hair …
Radio Movie

Sombrero movie
It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …
The Hunger Games movie
Hello people and let’s talk about “The Hunger Games.” . Now, before I start giving my opinion on this movie and any other following movies, you should know that I do not read books, not one bit; I just don’t find them entertaining enough. Moving on, the movie wasn’t …

Three Amigos
It has been a while since I last saw the movie Three Amigos. And, while I remembered it being funny, I had my doubts that it was as funny as I remembered.
Tonight, I got to see it again. And, I have to admit, it is as funny as I …
The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …

Step Up 2 Movie
I didn’t like this movie as much as I liked the first one. This is the sequel to Step Up and I think one of the main reasons I liked that movie was because of Channing Tatum. In this sequel, Channing Tatum is only in the movie for like …
Tangled animated movie (2010)
Another foray into Disney’s celebrated fairy tale genre, “Tangled” is a retelling of the classic story of Rapunzel. I grew up watching Disney’s second Golden Age, so I watched “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin”, “Mulan”, and so many other masterpieces in addition to their creations during the first Golden …
“Battle of the Bulbs” (2010 Film)
While I am a fan of holiday films, I am sorry to say that the 2010 Hallmark channel film, “Battle of the Bulbs” was not one that I would wish to watch again. The film lacked a decent plot I believe, and didn’t really appeal to me and get …
Rock On movie
When the promos were being aired on the television for the film Rock On, I thought that it would be all about a rock band with some loud and vulgar music. Strangely, my friends were bent at watching the movie in the theater. I yielded to their demand and …
Moulin Rouge movie
In all honesty, I love this movie. Although I’m not a big fan of musicals, I found this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and romantic. The production was really something that amazed me and these are probably the reasons why it is one of my top ten favorite …

Captivity Movie
Captivity is an odd movie that I picked up in the video store because of the After Dark advertising on the front of the box. I assumed that the movie was part of the Horror Fest series, but it was actually an independent movie released by the same company. …
Film The Collector (1965)
William Wyler’s The Collector, filmed in 1965, is possibly one of the most disturbing films ever made. It is a suspense film and a character study and one of the bleakest at that, as well.
Freddie (Terrence Stamp) is a lonely man who likes to collect butterflies. Having, …
Untraceable movie
Untraceable came out earlier in the year and was supposed to be a movie of the Thriller genre. I did not see the preview or trailer for this movie but I actually saw it on a whim. The poster for it made it seem like it’d be more of …
Short Cuts movie
Short Cuts is a film by Robert Altman that tells a complex story including several different people. These people’s lives are connected in some way, which they audience are unaware for most of the film. It’s very similar to the later film Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. I don’t …
She’s The Man comedy
This is one of my favorite comedies. There are a lot of funny parts in it. It is more of a girls movie but I know a couple of guys who enjoyed the movie. It was a great comedy movie. There are a couple of parts where Amanda Bynes …
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 …
Gran Torino Movie (with Clint Eastwood)
Gran Torino might not be the movie to watch if you love action or special effects or are looking for a comedy. But if you like watching good acting and well written story line this is a movie for you.
Clint Eastwood is basically in every scene on this movie …
Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is one of the best Batman movies I have ever watched. I thought the actor Christian Bale really did hid character justice and was just the right amount of “dark” for the superhero. I thought it was a big change from the movies “Batman and Robin” and …
War of the Worlds-2005
The recent War of the Worlds movie starring Tom Cruise is one of the best big budget movies I have seen in a long time.

Stalker movie
Tarkovsky’s great masterpiece about three men going on a journey through “the zone”, which is a restricted area where the deepest wish of every man becomes reality.
Tarkovsky’s imagery is completely breathtaking and holds no resemblance to anything else. He’s totally unique in his artistry and is perhaps the closest …

No Country for Old Men (2007)

Purple Rain (Movie)
At first I really liked this movie, but now I absolutely hate it. I don’t even know why I keep the DVD around. This is a really old movie starring Prince and I guess it is about his life. I don’t know if it is a true story or …

Set in the future, the movie gave spoofs a new twist by spoofing a classic film, 2001. Instead of being on an airplane, the heros are forced to land a …
Contagion ( 2011 Movie )
How do you fit 3 Oscar Best Actress in a movie? The movie Contagion is the answer to that. It is difficult to find Academy Award Winners in the same movie. Gwyneth Paltrow ( Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love in 1998 ), Marion Cotillard ( La Vie En Rose …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
Case of the Jolly Hangman
I am reviewing The Case of the Jolly Hangman, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Band of Outsiders: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1964)
Musing on another Godard film I watched last night, I still have these fresh thoughts stuck in my head. Watching Godard is never a bore. I recently read an article in the nytimes talking about Paris as a most favored site for shooting movies. This film was …
