Dirty Dancing
Dirty Dancing is a feel good movie that never fails to bring on smiles and feelings of delight. It’s the theatrical movie that set Patrick Swayze’s stardom on fire and gave us the line, “No one puts Baby in a corner”.
Frankly, I’ve never liked that line and I …

The Wrong Man dvd
Well when you see the likes of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman & Ben Kingsley starring together in a movie you’re sure it’ll be good. I have to say that the jury is still out ‘ the acting was great, the storyline was really good and even I …
Silk
Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …

Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …

Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Happy Feet
I’ve seen many movies that’s totally hilarious, but ‘Happy Feet reminds me of the old cartoons like ‘Tom and Jerry. I’ve been considered to be the most humorous guy who love to make people wet their pants and for that movie to really move me and to use it …
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I must admit that I am not an admirer of Uma Thurman’s movies. When I watched the trailer of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” I thought that it was a cute fantasy movie with a romantic touch, however I ended up not enjoying this movie.
I must admit that I enjoyed watching …
Crude Impact documentary
‘Crude Impact’ is a disturbing documentary discussing the issue of our dependence on fossil fuels, oil in particular. Similarly to ‘A Crude Awakening’, it brings an alarming news; our reserves of fossil fuels are coming to an end. Of course, the catastrophe will not happen in a year or …
9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …
The Gingerdead Man movie
First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …

Gidget is one of my all-time favorite movies. It’s a beach movie, a light comedy about growing up and falling in love. It’s simple, and that’s why it works. The acting is good, and it’s just an upbeat, let’s have a good time watching it movie.
Sandra …
Captain America: The Winter Soldier , movie by the Rosso brothers
1st and foremost, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is the best action film out of the whole Marvel movie universe so far, with no exceptions. Just in terms of sheer impact, choreography, execution, clarity of geography and did I mention impact? Because WOW was this film good!. If that …

Barnyard
I have recently purchased this movie and watched it with both my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren. The first thing I noticed was that the male cows, steers, bulls, whatever they are, have utters. My grandkids of course paid this no attention but I am assuming older children …
Movie: Doubt
I have finished watching a movie with my mom and my brother last night. The movie is called “Doubt”. Starring Meryll Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The movie started and ended in the same location - the parish and the school run by Meryll Streep as the …
The Last Picture Show movie
Peter Bogdanovich is one of the few actual film critics that later went into the director’s profession and was successful. The Last Picture Show is his most critically acclaimed film and is an original story about the teenagers of a small american town and their relationships to each other. …
Transformers
When I first learned they were coming out with a live-action Transformers movie, my first thought was �Well, there�s another 80s TV show being ruined.�
From the previews, it looked like one of those films that would rely heavily on special effects and not offer much in terms of plot. …
Mr.Deeds
Mr.Deeds is a mediocre comedy movie. This Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder starred movie misses something which makes it not appealing much to the viewer. Though the movie has a decent plot and impressive star cast, it some how doesn’t manage to attract the viewer. It is the story …
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016 Thriller Movie)
I did see the trailer for the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane around the time that it was released in theatre, but I forgot about it soon after I guess because it wasn’t exactly memorable for me. Months later, I saw that same movie listed as one of the best thrillers …
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 …
The movie Deadgirl
Deadgirl is a little known movie that was released in 2009. It tells a very dark and horrific story, but manages to do so without too much gore. Still, the movie would only be good for a mature audience. The plot revolves around two high school …
The Last Airbender Movie
I am the biggest Avatar fan in the world. I absolutely love the series and I remember it being an integral part of my childhood. And I have to admit, I still rewatch the series every now and then even though it is kind of a childish show. The …
Firefox movie
The young Angelina Jolie is simply delicious as the young rebel in this movie. This is a must for all Angelina Fans!
In Firefox, Jolie plays a teenage rebel and incites a group of young women to stand up for themselves when a teacher is taking advantage of the …
The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)
Throughout the years I’ve heard about the movie “The Royal Tenenbaums” but I never actually had a chance to watch it until recently. I figured it would have been one of those films that was severely overrated by a lot of people, but it turns out that even though I …
Tempo di Viaggio movie
Andrei Tarkovsky is one of my absolute favorite directors. A true cinematic artist who wanted to make the cinema just as impressive an art as painting, music or literature, and I have to say he succeeded with his mission, although he died to soon, only about 50 years of …
The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
Marley & Me Movie 2008
I adored this film - Marley and Me - but I suspect that has a lot to do with the fact that I do love dogs. Marley is a Labrador owned by John and Jennifer (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) and the movie covers their life with Marley …
Halloween
I absolutely hate the new “Halloween,” this crude, obscene, bloody, gory, stupid, disgusting slasher. I have not seen the original version made sometime in the 70s, but from what I hear, it did not have all the sliced up bodies on screen; this one does, and seems to relish …
Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …
Miracle on 34th Street Movie, a John Hughes Production
“Miracle on 34th Street,” the John Hughes production with Richard Attenborough, contains the same inspirational storyline as the original movie and continues to entertain drama lovers today. The remake was filmed in 1995, casting famous actors and actresses, such as Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, and Mara Wilson. Attenborough portrayed …

Last Holiday
The movie “Last Holiday” (2006) helped me to see Queen Latifah in a new way. It is a good story, and she fits right into it, delivering a funny and at the same time touching performance. She plays Georgia, a middle class woman who has a list of things …
Movie Spoilers
I had went to see the movie “Cloverfield” just yesterday. I had read spectacular reviews and the movie has been hyped on the internet for quite some time now. The trailers seemed particularly interesting.
My only worry of this movie would be that it would be highly similar to …
Movie The Unborn
At first I really wanted to see this film. The previews looked incredibly scary. And as usual the powers that be put the scariest, most disturbing scenes in the actual trailer. I cannot believe that I actually was going to visit the movie theater …
Blade of the Vampire movie
This movie should not be confused with any of the movies in the Blade trilogy. In fact, that is how I actually watched it since I made the mistake of thinking that “Blade of the Vampire” was actually one of them. However, after watching it I was very disappointed …
Samurai X anime
This is my favorite anime. Samurai X tells about story of one samurai named Kenshin, known as Battousai Himura. Battousai is name which people had given to him because he is a murderer. It’s said that he lived at the end of Tokugawa regime. He worked for the Japan …
