Prime movie
The movie Prime staring Uma Thuman and Meryl Streep is a great, fun loving movie. Trying to show the perils of older women dating a younger man, and a mothers want for her son to be with someone with the same religion. I found some parts of the movie …
Lady and the Tramp movie
A classical tale of boy meets girl or in this case boy dog meets girl dog. Showing the early years of Lady’s life, growing up in a respectable part of town, living the blue collar life. On the other side of the fence, we see the freelance life of …
To Sir With Love
“To Sir with Love” is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it dozens of times and I still cry every time I see the movie. I think it is the ultimate teacher movie ever. The 1967 Columbia British Productions movie was filmed in color and lasts …
Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …
“X-Men: First Class” (2011 Film)
While all of the “X-Men” films have been great, and entertaining to watch as well, the latest 2011 film, “X-Men: First Class” really just tops the cake. To be able to see Magneto and Professor X along with Mystique and a few other mutants we all have gotten to …
Splinter (2008)
MPAA Rating - Rated R for violence/gore and language.
Stars: Shea Whigham, Paulo Costanzo, Jill Wagner.
The film Splinter was recently released in theaters, and Comcast subscribers have the ability to watch it On-Demand in the comfort of their homes. That is what I did.
Splinter is the story of a couple, …
E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …
Blind Man’s Bluff
I am reviewing The Case of the Blind Man’s Bluff, 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 …

influential Rock’n’Roll guitarists. Namely Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White.
Directors Dave Guggenheim and Jimmy Page drive us into the lifes and backgrounds of the three artists’ relationships …
Away from Her
I actually went looking for this for this movie in DVD. The teasers made a compelling case for how Alzheimer ’s disease impacts the lives of people every day. Of course the movie came with the required outpouring of various Hollywood actors telling their sad tales of …
Movie : My Cousin Vinny
Synopsis: Joe Pesci plays a Brooklyn personal injury attorney who travels to Alabama to defend his cousin and his cousin’s friend from a bogus murder charge. He not only has to overcome a massive pile of evidence against the two defendants, he must also overcome the fact he doesn’t …
Twilight movie
Twilight is a romantic vampire movie about two young people falling in love and one is a human being and other one is a vampire. The author is Stephanie Meyer who dream about the story and then put it in print over a period of 3 years. The author …
Paranoid Park Movie
I have never seen a Gus Van Sant film, however obviously the fact that he is a well-known director tipped me off to the fact that there might be something worth checking out there. Going through my Netflix on a lazy Sunday, I discovered a movie called Paranoid Park, …
Nick of Time - Movie
What a bloody waste of time! There were a few reasons why I wanted to see this. First it stared Johnny Depp and I enjoy his work as an actor and wanted to check some of his lesser known films (there’s a reason why it’s barely mentioned). The video …
The Unsinkable Molly Brown movie
As movie musicals go, The Unsinkable Molly Brown is unsinkable. It’s a marvelously well done movie with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell in the leads. As for being biographical on the real Molly Brown, many liberties were taken. We get a wonderful happy ending here, but …
Best In Show DVD
Take a documentary about a dog show, and add as much comedy as you can think of…then you will have Best In Show. Best in Show is a wonderful documentary style movie about an annual dog show and the people who enter it.
It is a hytarically funny movie, …

John Tucker Must Die, directed by Betty Thomas is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sexual content and language. The original release date was July 28, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and stars Jesse Metcalfe as John …
The Net movie
From 1995, The Net is a suspenseful, very well made drama. It’s identity theft to the nth degree, and it’s scary. Sandra Bullock plays Angela Bennett. She’s somewhat of a recluse, and she’s a computer nerd/geek. She’s a master programmer and hacker, and she knows …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …
Relative Evil
Starring: Jonathan Tucker (JJ), Jennifer Tilly (Dot), Dan Moran (Bull), David Strathairn (Dr Charlie), Deirdre O’Connell (Phyllis)
How horrifying it is for a seventeen-year old to discover that there are people preying on his life. After coming out from rehab, JJ had hoped to pick up the pieces of …
Unfaithful Movie
This movie I found scary in a way that it’s hard to get involved danger and when you’re playing with fire there’s always bad karma around the corner for you, not only is it inappropriate but when you’re unfaithful to someone, the guilt and the conscience just doesn’t feel …
The King’s Speech movie
Have you ever stepped up to give a presentation, whether it be for a school project or a presentation for your job, and then your words just fail you? You go up there and your mind just goes blank and time begins to expand right before your eyes, seconds …
The Air I Breathe
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Air I Breathe” and “Vantage Point”. Both of them have a story where people who lead a complete different life style are related by an incident. It seems that there were many positive comments about “Vantage Point” and unfortunately “The …
The Tomb (2007)
Starring: Victoria Ullmann (Tara Griffen), Christian Behm (Billy), Gerald Griesbaum (Richard Morris)
It’s a bewildering movie I even watched till the end, and I still don’t understand the story.
Tara and Billy were imprisoned in a dark place called the Witch House; a mysterious voice (mechanically distorted) challenging …
Secret Window (2004)
Secret Window (2004) is another one of Stephen King’s stories to be made into a movie. The movie is taken from the Stephen King novella (a novella is a work that is longer than a short story but shorter than an actual novel) Secret Window, Secret Garden, which …
Dark Harvest
Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …
Titanic movie
The movie Titanic was very popular in those days. Wow this movie is really great and excellent. I don’t think that there will be any one will ever make any other movie like this. All the scenes in this movie were looking so real and the …
Sleepwalkers (1992)
This horror movie like most horror movies goes, does not start off like your regular horror movie or does it. LOL, from the beginning, this movie has introduced the viewing audience that there are creatures in this world since the dawn of time known as sleepwalkers, and the main …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
The Pacifier movie
I really love this movie. Its a fresh role for Vin Diesel, I love how much he acted on this movie. I really love the comedy with all the military discipline he was trying to rule over the children. I really like it so much since its really very …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
IF you want to see a really cute movie, you need to see “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. It is such a cute movie.
I think there are many reasons why I like this movie so much. The first reason is that I grew up with Alvin, Simon and …
Beowulf
When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …
Magic Mike XXL (2015) movie
Magic mike XXL is a drama comedy movie directed by Gregory Jacobs.As you may know,its the sequel of the movie Magic Mike released in 2012.Undoubtedly,it is again about group of male strippers who want to put one last show.This movie is for a very limited audience. You may think this …
Hoodwinked Anne Hathaway & Glenn Close
Who ever thought the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” could ever be so complexed. This movie was so intensely funny. Just when you thought you had it figured it out, it took another turn. I enjoyed it so much and laughed constantly. I like a complex story. I …
Tropic Thunder
When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Rising Malevolence
I’ve been watching Star Wars for as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been a fan of prequels. The problem is that I know where the story is going.
Star Wars is worse than most, and the clone wars even more so. I know how General Grievous dies, …
Forbidden Kingdom
I’m a big fan of action films and martial arts movies. I was very excited when I learned that Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two of Asia’s most popular martial arts actors, are going to star in one movie. I really waited for this movie to be shown and …
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Movie)
As an avid reader of the Hunger Games trilogy, I was very excited for the next installment in the movie franchise. I thought the first movie was okay, giving it a rating of 7/10, but I’m glad to say that this second installment is a huge improvement over the …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Annie Hall (1977)
This is a film that everyone associates with Woody Allen as it was so successful, winning four Academy Awards amongst others. It is very funny and always makes me laugh but Annie Hall was a turning point for Allen as he had now turned his back on the …
Shoot them up Film
Shoot them up is being directed by Michael Devis its star Clive own and Monica Bellucci in lead and called giamittai as villain. This is basically as action movie. It doesn�t really have any thing more then action. The story is about oven trying to save a child …
Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Captain Planet cartoon
“Captain Planet” was a cartoon which would be aired sometimes on weekday afternoons when I was still a child. I did not necessarily love the show, but I appreciated it a little since it was better than watching the children’s show “Sesame Street” which I had outgrown before I …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …
Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie
I have been dying to watch this movie ever since I saw its trailer in the movie house a few weeks ago. The movie was about a Chihuahua and I saw some of the “casts” as well like some pugs and other kind of dogs so I got interested …
Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …
Blue Jasmine (movie)
“Blue Jasmine” was one of those movies that I had neither seen nor heard anything about until I had seen being aired on Starz Cinema. I mostly ignored it for a time but decided to take a chance on it when I saw that the cast had Cate Blanchett …
