He’s Just Not That Into You movie
For Valentines Day this year, my girlfriend really wanted to see the new movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You” and, it being Valentines Day and all, I obliged. Believe it or not though, I really enjoyed the film, as did everyone in the theatre! Well, at …
Movie “Dreamcatcher” (2003)
I am so in love with netflix and the ability to watch movies and tv instantly. Since I don’t have to wait for a movie to come in the mail I am much more willing to try out a movie I have never heard of before. This …
Avatar film
Avatar(2009) is a post-apocalyptic action/adventure/SciFi/romance rated PG-13 for Adult Language, Adult Situations, and Violence…lots of Violence.
Not being a fan of James Cameron’s films (Titanic, the Terminator series, ect.), I went to see Avatar wondering whether it could possibly live up to the hype. Two hours and forty minutes (which …
Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie
Last weekend, I went to the movie house together with my sister. We watched “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. I didn’t really expect much from this movie. I just wanted some entertainment on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Anyway, I thought this film was another of those sci-fi …
The Two Towers movie
I am reviewing the second installment of the Lord of the Rings series, The Two Towers, which was released around 2002. This movie finds our heroes, Frodo and Sam, fighting their way to the Black Gate, with the aid of the creature Gollum, who is still very much …
Movie The Breakfast Club
After a year from doing the movie “Sixteen Candles”, the director John Hughes returned back with another teen movie “The Breakfast Club”. In my opinion, “The Breakfast Club” is by far much better teen story than “Sixteen Candles”. Interesting is that the actress, Molly Rigwald and Anthony Michael Hall …
American Violet movie
American Violet is a movie that I knew very little about. I had been seeing a billboard advertising it inside one of the neighborhood restaurants I sometimes frequent. This still did not really grab my attention although I am an avid movie lover.
I ended up coming across the movie …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …
My Sassy Girl
What I really like about the movie “My Sassy Girl” is that at the beginning it gives you an impression that it just an average romantic movie; however in the last half hour of this movie things change completely. This movie moves from creating to a happy-go-lucky atmosphere to …
Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman
While my daughter loved the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein, I don’t think she was a huge fan of the film Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman..
Of course, part of the problem could have been the fact the rented DVD was a bit scratched up and …
Citizen Kane Movie
Time and again Citizen Kane gets selected as “the best film ever made” on different listings. There is so much to say about the genius Orson Welles’ debut film, but I’ll restrict myself to the most important points and my own view. The film is a very complex story …
To The Devil, A Daughter (R, 1976)
I rented “To The Devil A Daughter” for two reasons: Christopher Lee and Nastassja Kinski. I have always liked Lee’s presence in films, especially The Wicker Man (the original). He had this air about him that was both seductive and a little creepy. …
Jurassic Park Trilogy
This has been a Steven Spielberg film and having typecast him by the viewers with movies that have extraordinary themes, I supposed this would be another unforgettable movie and so it was, although he just directed parts 1 and 2 because the one who directed the third part was …
Transformers The Movie
The series which this movie is based on is undeniably one of my all-time favorites since I was a kid. Now that Michael Bay together with Steven Spielberg made Transformers into an extraordinarily amazing movie, my interest in Sci-Fi movies has broadened into such great fascination that I became …
Reality Bites
Reality Bites is a nice romantic movie with the back drop of young students. The movie is said as a path breaking movie of this type. Ben Stiller directed this movie and is his first movie as a director. The movie has Ben Stiller, Winona Ryder, and Ethan Hawke …
The Whole Ten Yards movie
The movie “The Whole Ten Yards” is actually the sequel to the movie “The Whole Nine Yards” which was released in the year 2000. I didn’t hear of this sequel though until about two or three years ago when I saw it being broadcast on a cable television channel. …
The Valet (2007)
As the introduction, I watched this movie because I saw Gad Elmaleh in the cast lists and I love to see his silly face again since “Priceless”, his previous movie with the beautiful Audrey Tautou. And the result is : I still see the same character Gad plays in …
Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …
Interstellar (science fiction drama movie)
Initially I was torn between wanting to watch Interstellar and actually watching it, because I’d read a lot of bad reviews about it on the internet. Some reviewers including one of my good friends who has a similar taste as mine in movies, claimed it was terrible, hyped up and …
DVD DEATHDREAM (1972)
If ever a cult movie deserved a special edition DVD it is DEATHDREAM (AKA DEAD OF NIGHT), a chilling horror film about a vietnam soldier, mistakenly declared dead, surprisingly returns home.
Well, maybe not mistakenly dead. He is dead. He’s an unliving vampire-zombie who needs blood to survive and, …
Dark Man movie
When I first saw Dark Man, I thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. After watching it a second time, I still think it\’s good, but have a less favorable impression of it.
The best thing I like about the movie is the concept. A scientist …
Movie: A Walk To Remember
Anyone who knows me know I am not exactly a romance fan when it comes to movies. Yet, I can be a softy too and one of the movies that gets me everytime I see it is A Walk To Remember. Based off a Nicholas Sparks book …
I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
The 13th Warrior, Movie
Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …
What Happens in Vegas film
When I first saw the movie “What happens in Vegas” advertising to be released in theatres late last year I was a bit annoyed that they had released yet another romance comedy movie which I just knew was to going to be very funny or interesting. Another reason why …
The Incredibles
The Incredibles is one of my favorite animated movies. I’ve seen it quite a number of times already but I never get tired of watching it over and over again. I’m pretty sure that alot of people would relate to the wonderful characters. Shy and insecure teenage girls would …

ABD Family’s Original Movie “Cyberbully” (2011 Film)
ABS Family came out with a movie in 2011 called Cyberbully. And I have to just say that this movie went beyond my expectations and brought viewers the type of movie that focuses on a key issue effecting young teens. I was surprised at how relatable the film was …
Avatar movie
Last December 2009 I was convinced by some of my friends to watch Avatar movie of James Cameron but I was not really impressed when they told me it was more like a story of an alien thing so I declined. But when January 2010 comes, my close friend …

Even though I have not watched many movies this summer as a result of a lack of time, the movie “Jack the Giant Slayer” was one of the very few that I did, especially since I was looking forward to seeing it ever since I first saw the trailer …
The Way We Were movie
The Way We Were is a classic motion picture. It’s a love story with a questionable ending. It’s romantic and tragic. It’s wonderful. The movie stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, and boy do they sizzle together. It’s not an easy relationship, but the …

Love Field (movie)
I love watching historical movies, or movies whose settings take place at memorable times during human history. This is why I was very intrigued by the description of the movie “Love Field” when I had seen it on the television guide when I was looking on what was going …
Saving Privae Ryan
I remember going to the movies with my husband and father-in-law to see the movie Saving Private Ryan, starring Tom Hanks. I actually saw some old men with tears in their eyes having to leave the theater.
The movie starts with this old man bringing his family back …

Three Wise Fools from 1946 is a bit of a crazy yarn about an Irish girl who slowly turns three old geezers into three good souls. It all starts when the three men are young suitors, trying to woo the beautiful Rena Fairchild, played by Cyd Charisse. Cyd …
Thr3e
This movie was definitely one of those that I will have to watch twice to figure out where they got one over on me. I enjoyed the movie and was really happy to see Marc Blucas, the former Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the ending was …
Red Eye
Red Eye is a suspense thriller movie that is about a man, Jackson, who is on a path to kill a government official. Jackson wants Lisa to help him kill this person. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? The part about this movie that I did not get is …

Movie Just Like Heaven
I went to go see this movie, while it was still in theaters, with my husband. It was supposed to be a nice, date-like evening, so we chose the one that looked both funny and romantic. We weren’t disappointed. In fact, I think he like the …
Hall Pass (movie)
I didn’t find the comedy “Hall Pass” to be as hilarious as some reviewers made it out to b. To me it was moderately funny, which was much better than I expected a comedy starring “Owen Wilson” to be since I usually think his comedies are lacking in humour. …

The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …
“The Children” Vertigo Pictures, 2009
Last night I was invited to a relative’s house to watch a movie. It was “The Children- Vertigo Pictures, 2009.” When I saw the Ghost House logo I silently rolled my eyes and dreaded the inevitable two hours of watching teenagers get killed one by one in an …
Beauty and the Beast 1991 BluRay Movie
One of the greatest Disney cartoons and one of the best cartoons of all time is Beauty and the Beast. I don’t care if anyone agrees with me or not about my opinion above. Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991 and it didn’t just broke records, but …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
