Movies Reviews
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
Life (1999)
Life, directed by Ted Demme is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of Amereica for strong language and a shooting. The original release date was April 16, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime/Drama and stars Eddie Murphy as Rayford Gibson, Martin …
Sex and the City The Movie
When my husband took me to ‘Sex and the City- The Movie’ I was not very sure whether I would like it or not because I don’t usually prefer any prolongation movie and this was a continuation of the runaway hit from HBO series. But anyway when the movie …
Movie Fracture
Fracture is about a man who kills his wife (Anthony Hopkins plays this part) and the cops know he did it but can’t prove it basically. I know it kind of sounds a little boring but the movie itself isn’t. Ryan Gosling also plays in the movie. The two …
Frozen 2013 Animation (Movie)
After my cousin told me that an animation movie titled “Frozen” is leading the box-office. I knew this movie had some great odds of getting on top of my best animation movies list with “Tangled”. Tangled was released in 2010 with a great funny, hooking story and heart conquering …
Public Enemies
Public Enemies is one of the best made movies I’ve seen in a long time. It tells the parallel stories of John Dillinger on his rise to bank-robbing fame, and the G-Men whose job it was to take him down. Christian Bale and Johnny Depp deliver …
Great Expectations movie
When I saw the movie “Great Expectations” on the cable guide a couple years ago, I was more expecting a film based on the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations” and not a loosely based modern day spinoff from it. In fact, since I had not seen it from the …
Movie 100 feet
This review is for the movie “100 feet” starring Famke Janssen (Jean Gray from X-Men). I picked it up at my local Blockbuster thinking it looked like a decent horror film.
Reading the back of the case provided a plausible premise for a horror flick. A woman is released …
Happy feet movie
I first watched this movie was on dvd with my little cousins. It was quite interesting with the nice dancing and singing. The storyline was pretty good. One thing I didn’t really understand was how Mumble, the main penguin went back his own specific colony of penguins, but I …
Movie: High Fidelity (2000)
I thought this movie was extremely entertaining. Rob Gordon, (expertly portrayed by John Cusack) is in the midst of a nasty split from his current girlfriend, Laura (played by Iben Hjejle, best of luck pronouncing that!). He is mad at the world and cannot understand why he cannot succeeed …
Shinobi
This movie, titled Shinobi, is about 1 hr and 56 minutes and I cried while watching. It tells a story of love, action and adventure, and there is also some violent images, so the rating R is there.
I am not sure why movies about war and romance always …
Junebug (R, 2005) movie
Junebug is the kind of film that I really wanted to like. Centering around the son from a middle class family and his wife, this story unfolds easily and doesn’t really require much thought. I was actually disappointed with how dull this movie was. …
Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself film (2009)
I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of my favorite films from the director Tyler Perry. In my honest opinion I feel like this one of his best pieces compared to some of his recent work. I also call this one a classic because it’s well …
Step Brothers movie
Step Brothers is one of my favorite movies of all time and it is jam packed full of funny one liners. It is about two 40 year old men who still live at home with their parents and they are just like big children. Will Farrel’s character, Brennan Huff’s …
Eye in the Sky (2015 Thriller Movie)
The first time I heard of the movie “Eye in the Sky” was actually when I was waiting to see another movie and saw this one in the coming attractions. I was very fascinated in the concept around the movie. This was because I thought was similar to a few …

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I finally got a chance to watch the final Star Wars Prequel, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. And, while I was impressed by the special effects and the fighting, I was seriously disappointed at the movies failure to carry over seamlessly into the original Trilogy.
Set roughly 20 years …
Sex and Death 101 DVD Movie
Alright, before you get too skeptical about the DVD title movie, Sex and Death 101, let me tell you that this movie is actually pretty harmless, minus all the ‘racy’ scenes, which I’m not interested at all. I just love the comedic storyline and here is it.
Simon Baker …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
While Transformers began with children in mind, Revenge of the fallen couldn’t have landed further without earning an “R” rating. While the robots are more numerous and larger in size, I must say I am a little disappointed with the lack of responsibility taken up by the team to …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …

1408 movie
1408 (2007) is based upon a Stephen King story starring John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. This is a supernatural story that really leaves you to think about the supernatural. In other words if there really are spirits out there are they going to mess with you? …
Short Circuit 1986 Movie
For the longest time, I had completely forgotten about this movie. It used to be one of my favorite films of all time as a child, than I rediscovered it again as an adult for one reason. The Pixar movie, Wall-E. Wall-E really reminded me of Johnny 5 from …
Footloose (1984)
This movie is very simple and straight forward, it tells the story of a teenager, played by Kevin Bacon, who moves to a small town and has to basically adapt to their dull and dreary way of life that does not include ‘rock music and dancing’. Now that their …

Dawn of the Dead
What many people do not understand is that there are two versions of “Dawn of the Dead”. There is the one from 2004 which I have based my review on, and then, there is the one from 1978 which I have not watched. Dawn of the dead (2004) …
P2 : movie
P2 is a little-known horror movie that I stumbled across while watching movies online on my Netflix service. It’s not a movie I knew about her would’ve picked up most likely in the video store. But I checked it out on Netflix and I’m glad I did. …
Cloverfield
Many movies claim to have you on the edge of your seat, but I have never seen a movie do that literally… until I watched Cloverfield. This monster flick redefines the genre and brings viewers a first person look into what an apocalyptic experience is like. The movie was …
Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
The Bone Collector
The Bone Collector is a thriller starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington. Washington plays a forensic specialist who is severely injured and paralyzed in an accident. He’s confined to his bed and unable to move or help the police the way he did before. At the same time a …
Benhur
I do really appreciate the movie “Benhur.” For me it is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. The leading actor Charleton Hestone played his role excellently as well as other participants in the movie. It is the best religious film for men. I feel closer …
Biloxi Blues
When I got a chance to sit down and watch Biloxi Blues the other day, it was because I remembered it being a funny movie.
Somehow my memories must be off because this movie was anything but.
It was an OK film and gives a small insight into basic training toward …

Avatar (Blu-Ray)
I go crazy all the time whenever I watch Avatar. I watch it often but when I watched it on Blu-ray, its like watching it for the first time again, it is definitely a showpiece up to the very end. It is hard to find a footing to …

The movie I want to review is a aniamted-fantasy movie by the animator Don Bluth called Troll in Central Park .It is about a gentle,kind troll named Stanley.He has a magic thumb that can make flowers appear from anywhere by touching what he wants.In the troll land he lives …
Baby snatcher
I watched this movie on lifetime move network today. Overall it was pretty good. The actors were really good in it, and they had more than one actor that was good. A lot of times in the life time movie networks there are only one good actor in the …
Chef-2014, Drama, Comedy Movie
The main word I can say subsequent to watching this is “Exceptional”. Jon Favreau is only a stickler in each field. He has written this movie, directed it and afterward nailed it as the lead performing artist. Subsequent to Iron Man 1 and 2, he proceeds with his splendid work. …
Death of a Ghost Hunter
One of the movies we ended up watching this past weekend was one called “Death of a Ghost Hunter.” My wife and I like the television series “Ghost Hunters” and I figured this movie would be close to that in terms of plot and would be halfway interesting.
I was …

Blazing Saddles
Let’s face it. So much of Blazing Saddles is so politically incorrect that you’d need several fingers and toes to count the instances. But I don’t think it is a matter of contention with this film. If you take a step back, I think you’ll find Mel Brooks’ intentions …
Cheaper by the Dozen
When I first saw the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen” advertise I wanted to see it badly since even though it was not the type of movie which I am generally interested in, I thought that since it had a lot of children in it it might just end …
The Graduate Movie (1967)
The classic 1967 American film with the story that is controversial still to this day. Ben (played by Dustin Hoffman) is the typical American youth, and we begin with him returning home from college for the summer. Unsure with the direction that his life should take after school, he …
The Guns of Navarone movie
From 1961, The Guns of Navarone is one of the most famous wartime films, and it has quite the cast to help make it that way. Gregory Peck has the starring role as Capt. Keith Mallory. Also present are Richard Harris, Anthony Quayle, David Niven, Anthony Quinn, …
Twilight
Well the movie Twilight was…”ok”. The acting was decent and the story was intersting, however, not everyone will like it. I enjoyed watching it, but thought some parts were rather silly. It is very much a romance movie and a chick flick. Though it does have a few action …
Sydney White movie
I admit I really love watching Amanda Bynes movies. “Sydney White” together with “What a Girl Wants” is simply my favourite. I like the work of this actress so much because she seems to be the Molly Rigward of our time.
In his film we see Amanda Bynes as Sydney …
