Gone with the Wind movie
I have been blessed to view the movie Gone with the Wind three times. Once, during an open-air film showing in our school. And twice after I graduated from college, where I felt fortunate to attend two showings of the film after the entire film was restored. …
Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machine Movie
This film failed in comparison to the two previous films. Not only did it fail to live up to the other two it introduces a female Terminator with limited technological advancement. The T-1000 of Judgement Day was the best of all Terminators. The conclusion to the trilogy left viewers …

Movie: Deck the Halls

One of the movies happened to come on last night just before bed, Deck the Halls. And, I love this movie so much, I stayed …
Day of the Dead (2008)
This not quite-a-remake of George Romero’s classic zombie film is an odd creature. While it tries its hardest to be its own entity, any daring strides toward individuality are often done away with as the film pulls back for the odd, hollow reference back to the original it’s based …

Earth: movie
This is, and hold on to your chair, my absolute favorite film of all time. I just wanted to clear that out before anything else. As I am a fan of cinema, that is the visual element before anything, the basic story in Earth isn’t really that interesting. Of …
Movie The Wrestler
I didn’t actually want to see the movie “The Wrestler” with my friends since I had seen it advertise about once or twice and I thought that the storyline looked like something I would not be very interested in. Also, unlike previous times, I am not interested in the …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …

Movie: Vampires Suck
The movie Vampires Suck is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It is a direct spoof of all the teen vampire movies and books that have been released due to the Twilight Saga phenomenon.
There are a lot of “in-jokes” for the fans, and …
Boogeyman Movie
Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …

Boogie Nights, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong sex scenes with explicit dialogue, nudity, drug use, language and violence.

The Rock (1996)
I don’t mind watching movies that I like a number of times. This one has been played in our house and in some relative’ houses but I just kept hopping in. Not only because this is Sean Connery’s movie but also it’s Nicolas Cage’s and Ed Harris’ …
A Doll’s House (1973)
I like movies based on plays, they usually have more depth to them. A Doll�s House, 1973, starring Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom, is one such movie. Action fans will probably find it slow and boring, but I enjoyed the excellent performance by both leading actors. The story takes …
Alien Quadrilogy movie
The Alien saga is one of the finest and most enduring film series’ out there, and certainly one of the finest science fiction series’ out there. The legendary Ellen Ripley provides us with one of the strongest female characters of all time and once again, definitely a stand out …

This is the movie for the times that we are living in now, if only we could cook up a plan to get in our possession the old money that are going to be destroyed, then we could make better use of it. It is hard to believe that …

Movie Roxanne
I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
You know what, it really wasn’t as good as I remember it being.
I usually love Martin’s movies. But, this one, where he plays a long-nosed fire chief who is in …

The Godfather PArt …
An American Haunting
An American Haunting is a good movie, supposedly to be based on a true story about John Bell and his family. I was watching it with some friends and my boyfriend, and we were all ready to get spooked or something. Instead, the movie turned out pretty …
Dangerous Liasons movie
“Dangerous Liasons” is the name of a 1988 movie starring quite a few A-list celebrities such as Michelle Pfeifer, Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves and Glen Close. It was the oldest movie I remember seeing the actress Uma Thurman in as previously, the only movies I rememebr seeing her in …
Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
In the Bedroom, movie
Based on the short story, “Killings,” by Andre Dubus, “In the Bedroom” is a smart film that can resonate with even the most emotionally closed off of people. This is a film that hits us all where it hurts the most: the death of a child. It’s a story …

Speed Racer (2008)
This movie is a live action movie that has been created off the cartoon TV series that is still being aired on the Boomerang channel and a newly revised series on the Nicktoons Networks. The movie is just abominable if that’s the right word to use for it. Terrible …
Paranoid Park (R, 2007)
I didn’t really know what to expect when I first saw this movie on Netflix. The premise was serious, and kind of scary. I don’t know what I would do if I were in a situation where I had accidentally killed someone while doing something that …

Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth, was an extraordinary and visually appealing movie. I was skeptical going into it, because I don’t like foreign films, but I immediately forgot about all my reservations, and just sat back and took the movie in. It was easy to get caught up in, and …
My Bloody Valentine movie
My Bloody Valentine has risen to the level of cult status not so much by what’s on screen, but by what is not on screen.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
“Pirates” is simply one of those movies that will not be off the current younger generation’s top films list. For me (and many others, I suspect), it was gateway into now-legendary actor Johnny Depp’s career. The guy’s performance in this movie, while not a magnum opus, no doubt reveals …
Bambi (Disney Movie)
Bambi is a very delightful movie and it’s very cool. I really think Bambi is a great movie for young people and even adults. The morals in this movie are good and should be learned by all. I think that Bambi looks really cue and he is very lovable. I …
