Movie: “Grandma’s Boy” (2006)
Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.
Alex (Covert) is a 35-year-old video game …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …

The Babadook (horror movie)
I’m a sucker for horror movies. Therefore it was a given that I had to check out the movie “The Babadook” once I read about it in an article online. The writer claimed it was one of the most frightening and talked about movies of the year and I was …
Superman Returns
At last, someone returns to the heart and soul of the original Superman of 1978, with minor improvements to special effects and setting. This movie could not have been made as is back in 1978. It is a Superman for this generation and I am pleased with its arrival. …
Chronicle (Movie )
First off, I’m going to say although I don’t absolutely love the found footage genre, I absolutely without a doubt loved Chronicle. Of course I had my problems with it but at the end of the day it was a really good movie. My favorite thing about this film …
Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …
The Uninvited - Suspense thriller
Expectations were a lot from ‘The Uninvited’ but it was all gone after seeing the movie. The trailers shown on TV were too promising. You cannot say that it is a horror movie except for some creepy scenes when Anna, played by Emily Browning, is been visited by the …
How to Train Your Dragon Movie
I am a huge lover of lover of dragons and everything about them so I was really hoping that this was going to be a good movie. And it was. I have seen some really bad movies about dragons, but this was one of the best and at the …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …

A Mighty Heart
I can’t say that I really loved the movie “A Mighty Heart” since I never really did get to watch it in full but only watched parts of it over different time periods. When i was watching the parts of it, the movie did seem a little boring but …
Movie Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is a great war movie with Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Hartnett playing the pivotal roles. The movie is based on the attack on Pearl Harbor and is very well directed. Though the movie is very long in duration, it doesn’t seem an obstacle for a …

Little Women
Little Women on DVD is not quite the same experience as reading the classic story. I love both versions though. The novel started in 1869, and there are just so much characters to view and enjoy with. The story revolves around a mother and 4 of …
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
I thought The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was pretty good. This movie had some scary parts and was very suspenseful. I have to say that I really did like the storyline. The story is about a woman who stays with a family and takes care of the kids in …
The Book of Eli Movie
A film with Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, an apocalypse, and books. How could this movie be bad? Well, ‘The Book of Eli’ makes it look easy.
The opening scene had me expectant of a good watch. I liked the way the film looked; excellent use of light and shadow, earthy …
Deck the Halls
When it comes to Christmas movies, there usually isn�t much difference between one or another; especially when they are comedies.
But, the film Deck the Halls admittedly was pretty good.
It�s one thing to have Christmas spirit, but what if your neighbor has so much Christmas spirit it’s keeping you up …
Predators, Movie (2010)
After ‘Scream 4′ and ‘Apollo 18′ my cinematic palate needed cleansing. Fortunately, ‘Predators’ delivered just what I was hoping for. It’s especially impressive as sequels and follow ups to the original classic haven’t fared very well.
Unlike a lot of franchise relaunches, this doesn’t reboot or retcon anything. …

War of the Worlds directed by Steven Spielburg opened in theaters June 2005. The story is about the world being taken over by allians. Ray Farrier (Tom Cruise) is a dad of two. Rachel (Dakota Fanning) is a parinoied kid. Robbie (Justin Chatwin) is a brave teenager. Mary Ann …
Orphan movie
The movie “Orphan” from 2009 was a must see for me after hearing about all the controversy surrounding it. I have heard that some were concerned that it would discourage prospective parents from adopting. I would assume, after seeing the film, that these people were basing their fears on …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …
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 …

Crank Jason Statham
I was already a fan of Jason Statham because I fell in love with his gorgeous accent. I can’t resist a man with an accent. This film is definitely fast paced. You do not have time to sit and wonder what happens next. It keeps moving and moving and …
Elsewhere movie
We were watching a movie yesterday afternoon I hadn’t heard of before; Elsewhere. It turned out to be a halfway decent movie.
The movie centered around two best friends in high school. One is a girl scout the other one has a reputation; helped by a web site of her …
Iron Man (2008)
I always love to watch Marvel superhero movies, like Fantastic 4, Spiderman, Hulk etc, but this one is the best Marvel superhero movie I ever seen.
The movie Iron Man start off with Tony Stark (Iron Man) riding on a army vehicle with some soldiers, then boom! I …
Speak the Movie
I read the book speak a little while before I watched the movie, and both were equally bad. The movie was a little more confusing, and the characters were even more fake that they were in the book ,but at the same time, it was all okay because I …
Amelie (romantic comedy movie)
After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.
The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

The Happy Feet Movie, what a enjoyable, cute and funny movie. Being a mother of three kids, I have seen many childrens movies and this was one of the cutest and funniest movies I have seen. I love penguins and just adored how they all danced . …
Evan Almighty
It really is a good movie. For anyone out there that has had a tough week and wants to relax and just laugh; this movie is for you. It’s fun and yeah it doesn’t make you think too hard, but has plenty of little jokes for those who pay …
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (movie)
Call me easily amused, but I sincerely think that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is one of the most hillarious movies of all times. Jim Carey is just outstanding in this flick, and basically utilizes every funny bone in his body to put on a powerfully amusing movie. …
Thumbelina (1992)
Thumbelina was produced by Golden Films and released directly to video in 1993, as part of Golden Films’ second line of “animated classics” produced by Diane Eskenazi. The animated film follows the adventures of little Thumbelina in her quest to reach the prince of the little people and …
Solomon and Sheba movie
It’s amazing how many old films I’ve seen lately, including this movie, Solomon and Sheba. Actually, I want I think about most is that my shepherd-collie was named after Solomon by my sister, so when I cam across this movie, I decided to give it a watch. …
Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …
The Last Legion
I admit I only watched this film because I couldn’t imagine the actor, Colin Firth in the role of a Roman Commander. I just couldn’t picture him on big screen after watching him in the role of the prim and proper Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” or …
A Christmas Carol 3D (Movie, 2009)
“A Christmas Carol 3D” stars Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge. He also did the voices of all three of the Ghosts of Christmas. A movie of “A Christmas Carol” has been done to death. It seems almost every year, there’s another adaption of Charles Dickens’s famous novel. So, I …
A Lot Like Love movie
Have you ever seen the movie “A Lot like Love” with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet? I’m guessing it’s been out for a while because I saw it last week on Encore. When I read the preview listed on the channel guide, it didn’t look that appealing, but since …
Priest (Movie 2011)
My boyfriend wanted to see this film a few weeks ago, and so he asked me out and we watched it. Well, to tell you honestly, when I saw the trailer, I knew that it was going to suck! And no, I’m not basing my judgment on the director …
Serendipity
In the movie story, Serendipity, I think the collaboration of John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale truly rock!
They are both extremely suited for each other in this movie and their characters together had a great amount of chemistry. You just have to see this movie to know what …
Touch of Evil movie
Next to Citizen Kane probably the most successful film by Orson Welles. A Mexican agent played by Charlton Heston gets involved in some kind of conspiration, and something leads him the think the man behind it all is a police detective played by Orson Welles himself.
Welles uses a brilliant …
The World is Not Enough movie
The World is Not Enough is a film that in my opinion should never have been made. It’s another 007 film starring Pierce Brosnan for the third time, and it was very successful at the box office. The whole concept of James Bond has been held alive all these …
Good Luck Chuck
It starts off really good and funny and then the middle is still funny but not as funny as in the middle. It kept me interested the whole movie. The funny parts in the movie were really hilarious and made me laugh. I even re winded a few parts …
The Roommate (2011 Movie)
I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …
Titanic
This was definately a movie that I remember. I really enjoyed watching the whole movie. The whole thing was entertaining and exciting to watch. The two main characters were very good together in the movie and I really enjoyed watching each other act in the movie. It’s a great …
Movie Bruce Almighty
Bruce Almighty with Jim Carey, Jennifer Anniston, and Morgan Freeman.
Since the concept of this movie appears to be original, I found it highly interesting regardless of the cast of star actors. What makes this a real winner is Jim Carey, who is at his …
