The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …

Zombieland: Movie
I didn’t quite know what to expect from Zombieland, but as it turns out I quite enjoyed it. I found it to be pretty entertaining and thought it was to be one of the better comedies to come out of the last few years.
I love end-of-the-world type cinema …
Next movie
The movie Next is what I am reviewing. It stars Nicholas Cage, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Biel.
I found this movie so much more then an action-adventure file. There was also drama, and a love story mixed into it.
It starts out with the main character Chris Johnson …
The Bella Lugosi Collection dvd
Bela Lugosi movies are some of my favourite classical horror films. I got interested in them a few years ago along with a few other classical horror, suspense and science fiction films, but I was not able to find a suitable dvd which had a collection of some of …
The Hours (2002) starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore
I think “The Hours” has most of the ingredients I deem necessary for a good movie. It is one of my favorite movies made in recent years. There is strong character development among the three main characters: Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman), Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), and Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl …
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Movie
The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …

Quarantine
A few years ago, The Blair Witch Project used one camera to add realism to a horror film and was so successful at doing it, other movies have tried to copy the method. Unfortunately, those movies often fail.
This was pretty much the case with the movie Quarantine. On one …
Taken, movie
Liam Neeson comes onto the screen as an action star, but, unlike some of his other roles, he is sans light saber and no longer wearing that great kilt from “Rob Roy.” Instead of a more iconic role, we get Neeson as a retired CIA agent who worked in …
The Crow-City of Angels (Movie 1996)
A sequel that should not have been made…why does everyone need to do a sequel? Was there something from the original Crow that was felt uncovered that they really needed a second installation, or, did they truly believe that they could make more money off re-doing a movie with …
Snatch Movie
A british comedy from director Guy Ritchie is a classic masterpiece of movie making. Action, comedy and revenge are the spices that bring this movie to life. Even with non British actors such as Brad Pitt playing a bare knuckle, incoherent Scotsman. With underground boxing, British hitmen, a Russian …
Hotel Rwanda
I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …
Upright Citizens Brigade The Complete First Season DVD
Between 1998 and 2000 the Upright Citizens Brigade were one of the funniest sketch shows on TV. In fact the only sketch show that comes to mind that could match (and often times beat) the UCB for creativity or humor was HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Unfortunately …
Dance with the Devil (UR, 1997)
I wasn’t going to rent this movie at first since it was a little old. But since I really like both Javier Bardem and Rosie Perez, I thought the film was worth a try. Boy was I wrong. It’s supposed to be a dark comedy. …
Little Shop Of Horrors
‘Feed me, Seymour!’ cries the hungry, man eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors. I love that line! That line is one of my favorite lines from a movie. Now I am not talking about the Little Shop of Horrors version made in the 1980s, I am talking about …
Con Air
I must admit that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan, but this actor manages to get involved himself in very exciting movie projects that one cannot simply ignore. Apart from “The National Treasure” movies, one of my Cage’s movies is “Con Air”.
Why do I enjoy watching over and …
Sex and the City
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Recognize these four names? These are the women on a popular tv show called Sex and the City. It is easy to fall in love with these characters who seem so true to life.
The amazing series which ran from 1998-2004 was quite popular and …
Bring It On: All or Nothing
Another cheerleading movie. And a Bring It On one too. I believe that this movie might be the third one. So, my parents bought the movie Bring It On All or Nothing on DVD for my little sister. It was released on August 8 and they bought it the …
Boys and Girls - (starring Freddie Prinze Jr.)
Any movies with Freddie Prinze Jr. in it, I love it. Totally! I’m so into him pretty much and in this movie story, he is the main hero like totally. I love his performance and acting pretty much and the way he loves a woman, it is …
Master of Disguise movie
I had an opportunity to watch the film Master of Disguise the other night. I know I have seen it before but I couldn’t remember much about it. After watching it again, I can understand why.

Movie Halloween
We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …
Taken the movie
I was first attracted to watch the movie “Taken” when I learned that Liam Neeson was heading the cast: I’ve always had a high regard for his acting ability and innate charm. Adding to the attraction for me was the fact that Luc Besson, the French film director, was …
Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …
What happens in Las Vegas
Although this is a quite new romantic comedy, I believe it stands a chance to become a classic of its kind. It is funny, witty and intelligent. It is both enetertaining and inspiring at the same time, which is not very common nowadays. Apart from lots of fun, the film …

Crank (movie)
This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …

I have never seen Owen Wilson do quite a serious part such as a soldier/sniper and in this movie he did a very good job, he was a Lieutenant here Gene Hackman was also there as Owen’s admiral and commander. I say Owen did a great part here because …
Gamer, science fiction action thriller film

Movie “Dreamcatcher” (2003)

Bend it like Beckham (2002)
I think this is the very first movie I saw that starred Keira Knightley and trust me; it wasn’t all that great to launch her career as a serious Hollywood actress. This movie is based on a girl football oops, my bad soccer team and the trials that they …
Around the Bend
I am reviewing the movie, Around the Bend, starring Michael Caine, Josh Lucas, and Christopher Walken. This movie is about common, everyday things. It is about a young father who is taking care of an older man in his house, while trying to raise his young boy at …
Once (2007 Musical Film)
I have seen plenty of musical films that take the generic route but not this one, the music is the real heart of this movie. The characters and the plot revolves around the idea of making good songs that will move the audiences without asking them.
I was moved watching this …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I have to admit that I’ve had a secret love of Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. When the movie first came out last year, I was the only one of my friends and family members who could actually sing all the words to their songs …
The Lonely Guy Movie
Another addition to my collection of silly movies. Even Steve Martin can’t save it, and that tells you something. But, even such a good comedy actor as him cannot work wonders when the script truly sucks.
The story is about “lonely guys” - single men who for some reason cannot …
