The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
Out of Time (2003)
This is what happens when a man puts the feelings of his heart above that of common sense. In this movie, Denzel Washington plays the role of a police chief who, while going through a messy divorce, gets himself caught up with a dying woman who is need of …
Phone Booth: Movie
Phone Booth is a great thriller movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. The intensity in brings is enough to keep you interested right from start to finish.
I think the running length was good at just over 80 minutes, some films like this tend to drag on and you start to …
Grease
At the time of its release, many critics were apt to complain about the casting of Grease. They thought that the ages of the actors, playing much younger characters, was a hindrance and that the film would suffer. The huge box office that this fun and extremely lovable film …
White Chicks movie
Where do I start, and where do I find the words to describe this disgusting piece of trash?… Two black FBI agents, Kevin and Marcus Copeland, played by the Wayans brothers, go undercover as two white girls, posing as celebrity sisters who are under the threat of kidnapping. You …
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 …
Halloween Resurrection Movie
My wife and I never could get into the original Halloween movies and prefer the recent re-makes. But, there was nothing good on TV yesterday afternoon and we had a chance to watch Halloween Resurrection so we did.
I can understand why they eventually just gave up on the original …
10,000 B.C.
My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …
The Brontes of Haworth
It is a very rare situation that I cannot finish watching a movie. Especially a British one, and especially related to British classic authors. However, this is what happened with this one; I had surprised myself by being unable to finish even the first episode.
It is hard to say …
Blade II,movie
After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …
Movie Four Christmases
Four Christmases is an excellent movie I saw in theatres. It is a romantic comedy, with a bigger emphasis on the comedy. I really enjoyed it and I think most people would as well. It is a great film to see with a couple, family, or with friends. It …

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 …
The Quiet (R, 2005)
Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
Movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
My wife and I recently watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (I will refer to the movie as “Caspian”). I enjoyed the movie, but it was not as entertaining or complex as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
In Caspian, the four future kings and queens …

“Crash” Motion Picture
I rented Crash the film because it was on the top 100 list of netflix films and I had never seen it. I knew it was about car crashes but I so did not see this movie coming. It is mostly about race relations, anger …
The Hurt Locker
I had been encouraged to watch this year’s Oscar winning movie, “The Hurt Locker”, for a few months before I finally sat down and put the film on. While I don’t usually like war movies, I thought that this particular production might be worth a few hours of my …

I Was a Male War Bride movie
Howard Hawks directed with great success this 1949 war comedy, I Was a Male War Bride. This is a twist on the war film that hadn’t been done before that I know of, and it was a real winner.
The movie opens with two people meeting and …

Just married (DVD)
This is one of the most hilarious movies that Ashton Kutcher has starred in. This hilarious, romance has to do with a very young couple getting married and the brides family not agreeing with it at all. It puts alot of strain on the beginning of the …
Marie Antoinette (2006)
I always support the movie with female director and that’s why I was attracted to see this movie when the first time I know that Sofia Coppola has a new movie about Marie Antoinette.
As the beginning, I just want you to know that I love the trailer of this …

Who knew Sherlock Holmes was a ninja? Let this movie be words of wisdom for anyone trying to pick a fight with someone of high intellectual standing. Yep, this means all you bullies out there better leave the computer nerds, college professors, and scientists alone or they …
Boys don’t cry
I watched this movie when it aired on lifetime. I mostly watched it because Hillary Swank was in it and it was on lifetime. I didn’t really care for the movie. Not because of what it was about but because I didn’t really understand the movie. It’s about a …
The Prestige movie
This movie is a must see movie. Michael Caine, Hugh Jackman, and Christian Bale played excellent role in this movie. As you know this movie is about two magicians’ obsession with magics. Unfortunately, I can not tell you the juicy details about this wonderful movie; but I can tell …

Barbarian Queen, fantasy film
Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …
Columbo: Grand Deceptions movie
Columbo: Grand Deceptions is not one of the movies I enjoy very much. While Peter Falk is always intriguing and watching him facing off against all the murderers is the joy of the Columbo series, some of the ones that surround the military or politics just don’t work …
Head over Heels comedy
When my wife rented Head Over Heels this weekend I thought, “Great, another chick flick.” But, I was pleasantly surprised to find it both funny and charming.
The movie centers around a museum worker who rents a room shared by a bunch of super models. When the museum worker falls …
Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …
Movie: The Fastest Gun Alive

Piranha 3D (Movie 2010)
It’s been ages since I have actually seen something as gory and as nude as Piranha 3D. Honestly, the last time I saw a movie like this was…never!
I watched this movie two weeks ago out of boredom. I was in the mood for something bloody and horrible when …
Leon movie
Jean Reno starrs as the assassin Leon in this popular film from the early 90s. What is most memorable about the cast is the energetic Natalie Portman as the little girl who comes to live with Leon when her parents are killed by the psychopath played by the always …
The Fall - (Tarsem Singh) film
This is a stunningly good, stunningly beautiful film.
You will probably find yourself thinking “What?” or just “?” throughout. Occasionally re-winding to find out if you really DID hear/see that, or to find out the answer to “?”
Being moved to tears, then laughter, or both at the same time may …

High Anxiety Movie
Our youngest daughter took a late nap yesterday evening and, as a result, didn’t want to go to bed at her usual hour.

Last night was the first time I …
