Deja Vu
The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …
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 …
Spice And Wolf Episode 2 (Anime)
Spice and Wolf Episode 2 begins with Holo and Lawrence travelling and staying at church. There, Lawrence meets a man named Zeelen, who offers them a business deal.
This episode is very good, although it is very dialogue heavy and not a lot happens. Still, the dialogue …
Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …
Hellboy 2 (R, 2008)
I typically do not like these types of films where the hero is grotesque, but has these sensitive powers. I was intrigued by the Hellboy concept, but never bothered to watch the first one. I have been told that it is probably a good thing as …
The Lake House, Alejandro Agresti Movie

I’m Reed Fish (2006)
To be honest, I was attracted to this movie because of seeing Alexis Bledel as one of the casts so, it is not a surprise when I have to be disappointed to see that Alexis does not have enough space in this movie.
This movie is about a broadcaster named …
Stolen Life (2005)
If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …
Addams Family Values (1993 movie)
While this movie brought back the original characters as well as the same actors who played them, it was just lacking in the area of what I was looking for in a sequel to the first movie. It had all of the chemistry and potential for the greatness of …
Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …
Palookaville movie
Three male friends get bored with their everyday lives and all of a sudden decides to rob a bank. But not too unexpected, something doesn’t fall out as they would have hoped for.
I didn’t find this film uplifting or refreshing in any certain way. Mostly it’s just a copy …
Bloodrayne
Bloodrayne is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time and considering how many movies I watch a year, that’s saying a lot. The only reason I watched the movie is because it had Billy Zane in it and I’ve been a fan of his since …
I am Legend
…become a good actor ever? Well, in ‘I am Legend’ (the tagline goes something like, ‘the last man on Earth is not alone’), Will Smith sure displays an enhanced acting routine. And that probably due to his constant exposure.
But then again, it’s not all his fault that this remake …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Fever Pitch movie
Fever Pitch, starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, has been out on video for a few months now, but if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
This is a great date night movie. Guys - it has baseball! What more can you ask for? …
My Six Loves movie

The six children are played …

This movie is about three aliens who stumble across the path of earth, there is a red one, a yellow one and a blue one. The next character in the movie is now the focus of attention, a young lady who catches her fiancé cheating on her as she …
The Mirror Has Two Faces
I admit I am a great fan of Barbra Streisand. I believe she is simply wonderful in whatever she does. The movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces” in which she is an actress, director, producer and music director is no exception. It comes to no surprise that this movie …
Poltergeist (2015 supernatural horror movie)
In my experience remakes, like sequels don’t always turn out very well. That is why I wasn’t exactly rushing to see it once I found out that the 2015 remake of the popular 1982 supernatural horror movie Poltergeist. However, I found myself singing a different tune once another horror movie …
Movie: 2 Fast 2 Furious
Synopsis: This sequel to the movie The Fast and The Furious sees Paul Walker’s character (now no longer a cop) helping out the customs department in an effort to bust a drug dealer with the help of one of his friends.
What I liked about this movie: Much like the …
Session 9 (2001 movie)
“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …
Love Actually movie
Love actually is a feel good movie that was released in 2003 and is written and directed Richard Curtis who also worked on Notting Hill and Bridget Jones’s Diary.
In this star studded movie it is all about love. It is about finding love, losing love and un-required love.
I always …
Children of a Lesser God (1986)
A simple love story that leave just leave you with a sense of relief after it is all said and done, this movie is about a young woman who is deaf that works a school for the hearing impaired. She is frustrated with her life and work environment and …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
The Little Mermaid
This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …
Holiday in Handcuffs (2007 Film)
“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …
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 …
Gattaca (movie)
The first time that I remember seeing the movie “Gattaca” was some years ago in about 2011. At the time I was a bit baffled because here was this science fiction movie with actors such as Ethan Hawke , Jude Law and Uma Thurman that was released in 1997, …
Franklyn, British film by Gerald McMorrow
The question I asked myself while watching Franklyn on blu-ray was how do these four stories come together? The back of the case suggests that it all comes together at some point but I am not seeing it. Does Franklyn have bull shit written all over it or is …
Born Yesterday (1950)
“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …
An Officer and a Gentleman movie
Richard Gere in his best role as the rebellious Mayo. He goes through one of the toughest military educations and meets the love of his life in the meantime. The story combines heartbreaking romantic sequences with the almost sadistic way the soldiers are treated by their superior officers, and …

Dora the Explorer DVD We’re a Team
I recently purchased one of the newer Dora the Explorer DVD’s “We’re a Team” for my daughter. Overall, I think it was a great purchase.
In the We’re A Team episode, Dora and her friends are trying to complete a race course in under 20 minutes and must use their …
“Juno” film
Thanks to TBS I was able to watch “Juno” for the first time. I’m happy this movie finally made it to cable television.

Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …

Thunderball movie
The fourth 007 film shows a Sean Connery who seem to be getting tired of this role, but it still a marvellous film, superior to those made the last five or ten years. It’s most memorable for it’s spectacular stunts under water, that I believe have never been done …
The Covenant Movie
Known for its outstanding special effects, The Covenant promises fun, adventure, and a total disregard for the movie rules, but this is one movie that delivers what it promises, and it works. Four friends share a centuries-old secret, being that they are warlocks, and descendants of …
The Postman Always Rings Twice movie
This film hasn’t got anything to do with postmen at all. It’s a story about jealousy and murder with Jack Nicholson in the leading role. The film didn’t manage to engage me in its story for some reason, even though I think both Nicholson and Jessica Lange are very …
Year One Movie (2009)
I was so bored the other day I looked at my backed up movies and saw that I still haven’t watched the movie Year One. Year One (2009) is a movie that stars Jack Black and Micheal Cera. This movie was one of those comedy movies that I may …
Om Shanti Om
I recently bought a VCD of Om Shanti Om as i was desperate to see the Shah Rukh starrer on my screen, considering all the hype around the movie, it was not up to the mark but yeah it was not far from it either. The movie started with a …
Pride and Prejudice movie
Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …

Mystery Science Theater 2000: The Movie
I thought that every Mystery Science Theater was a movie, but that isn’t really the point. There really isn’t anything very special about this episode of “Mystery Science Theater” compared to any of the others, but then there doesn’t have to be. Watching Mystery Science Theater is the next …
