Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …
Letters to Juliet movie
Letters to Juliet, a 2010 movie release, was surprisingly enchanting and entertaining. I really enjoyed it. There were moments where it slowed down a bit too much for me, and in reality, I think it could have been about ten to fifteen minutes shorter and been a …

Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
Dillagi (movie), 1999
Dillagi released in 1999. It is directed the Sunny Deol. Sunny Deol although being a professional actor has done the job of directing pretty well in this film. The lead roles are played by Sunny Deol himself, Sunny Deols brother Bobby Deol and Urmila Matondkar. The story is based …

3:10 to Yuma, movie
Although this movie is a remake of a terrific film, with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale taking the leads, this film did more than just update a classic; it surpassed it. “3:10 to Yuma” is more than just a western. This is a movie that could well be …

The Human Stain
The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.
Right from the beginning, the audience is put to sleep with the playing of dull background music. We see Hopkins and Kidman slide off an icy road in their car and fall to their drowning death. …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
The Secret Life of Bees movie
I was very hesitant to watch the movie “The Secret Life of Bees” first of all, since it had the singers and actresses Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys in it, and since I cannot recall seeing any of them in what I thought were very good movies, …
DIE.COM
This is not for children to view. This movie, DIE.COM is for the adult who is able to view a plot that is about living and dying, with the plot set into a mystery that keeps your attention right up there. This is not a gory movie, although, blood …
Elf
I’m still watching Christmas movies today, mostly because there isn’t a whole lot for me to do with everyone being sick and us being low on cash (yet again).
One movie that just came on that I haven’t seen in a while is the Will Ferrell film, Elf. I have …
Never Back Down Movie
If you’re into UFC movies then you should definitely check this out, it shows a new guy named Jake Tyler in a new neighborhood and he and his friend are bullied by a martial arts champion, Ryan McCarthy, who’s a famous, rich, and powerful icon in their town. Furious, …
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Ah, yes…those lovable little Ewoks. Those, cute, cuddly little bear-like bundles of joy helped bring a happy ending to this final installment of not only the original trilogy, but chronologically the entire saga of the life and death of Annakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader.
The overall theme of this movie …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
Howl’s moving Castle
Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation. This film in no ways pushes the boundaries of animation and doesn’t attempt to which is refreshing. Too many modern animation films concentrate on wonderful computer affect to the detriment of the …
Dolores Claiborne
It’s a shame that this film, based upon the book by Stephen King, doesn’t get as much notice as some of his bigger hits. While the likes of Misery and The Shining are certainly worthy of the praise heaped upon them, and plenty of others are certainly worthy of …

Stardust movie
The movie I feel suffered from a lack of publicity. However, in my opinion, this was the best movie of the summer of 2007. Better than Transformers, Die Hard, and all of the rest that came out. The story is basically a fairytale told in modern …
Air Force One (1997 movie)

I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story. I’m not sure who the actors are in this movie but they all did a good job. The Nativity Story follows the story of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Jesus. It also follows King Herrod and his crazy quest …
Movie: “Prince of Egypt” (1998)
The Dreamworks masterpiece “Prince of Egypt” is one of the most beautiful and touching animated films of all time.

The Carson City Kid movie
Roy Rogers stars in this 1940 western called The Carson City Kid. I have to admit that watching this movie was a relaxing experience. I just sort of kicked back and enjoyed a simple picture that was the classic good versus evil battle.
Rogers played a man masquerading …

Mulberry Street Movie
Mulberry Street is one of those movies that is trying to make a statement on current society, but fails. At least that’s how I viewed the movie. I also noticed that the director seemed to take some inspiration from Night Of The Living Dead. At one point I even …

One of the best animated movies that we had seen in a long time was the film called the Lion King. This movie takes the viewer on a musical journay starting at the birth of the the young lion cub.

Happy Feet Movie
A blast from the very beginning! Happy Feet is a unique movie that kids can enjoy as much as parents. The lead characters are lovable from the get go, and have you rooting for them the whole way through. A small sidenote thrown into the movie about living in …
The Mist by Stephen King (R, 2007)
I watched this movie in segments. I have to admit that at first I was completely intrigued. But as time progressed, my interest waned somewhat, and I was wondering whether I should start the movie again. I did, and then I realized that it wasn’t me …
Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
The First Wives Club
This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …
Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)
There are times when some of the best movies I’ve seen were ones I stumbled across haphazardly. I first became aware of this particular film after seeing a t-shirt for it on the horror site, Rotten Cotton. A trailer for the film was viewable next to the …
Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh has been a favorite cartoon show among kids and kids-at-heart alike. Pooh bear, with his friends Christopher Robbin, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eyore, Owl, Helufun, Kessie, Kanga, and Roo all provide kiddie entertainment like no other. Each episode is fully-packed with exciting stories and adventures to tell …
American Psycho (2000 movie)
“American Psycho” was one of those films that everyone else had seen except for me, but that I still didn’t intend to watch. The theme, the cult movie status and the lead actor, Christian Bale, didn’t appeal to me.
What made me change my mind was starting to read …
Happy Feet movie
I went to see the movie Happy Feet with my sister, brother-in-law, their kids, and a friend and her daughter. I wasn’t that big on the movie. I didn’t like it at all, in fact. Other than a good joke that was repeated so much that …
The Heartbreak Kid, 2007 romantic comedy film
The Farrelly Brothers have been releasing a lot of duds. Trying to resurrect themselves they decided to remake the 1972 classic comedy, which shares the same name as the remake. The Heartbreak Kid is not the next big comedy from the Farrelly Brothers, it will leave you with a …
7 pounds

Unfaithful
I like this movie although I saw it few years ago. I thought it is usual, but for anyone who haven’t seen it yet, I can recommend it.
Starring Richard Gere, who portrayed the role of Edward Sumner, a good husband and family man.
The unfaithful half is Connie …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Daybreakers
The basic premise of this film is a future where vampires run the world and farm humans for their blood. I thought this was a pretty interesting idea but also figured it would just be “another vampire movie”. Although I was impressed with the initial idea for the movie, …
Baker Street Nursemaids
I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids, 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 …
A Boy and His Dog Movie
A Post-Apocalyptic film about a boy who communicates telepathically with his dog. Together they set out on an adventure to find food and girls. The film begins very promising, but I really didn’t like the later half at all. At first I found the film funny and interesting on …
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 …
Baby Einstein movie
I’m not sure who came up with the Baby Einstein series on DVD but I am very glad that they did. These videos are a god-send for parents of toddlers everywhere.
