Knight and Day Movie (2010)
As I saw the trailer for this movie a few weeks ago, I knew I had to watch it, seeing Tom Cruise in action again, plus with funny Cameron Diaz playing as his lady love in the movie. When the movie finally hit the screen, a lot of people …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I didn’t have very high hopes in this movie so my expectations were very low. I didn’t think it would be possible to be any worse than I had imagined, BUT, I was wrong. First off, the movie is never scary to me. A man in …
Incrediable Hulk 2008
I saw the new Incredible Hulk. I must say it was a great movie! The new 2008 version of the Incredible Hulk is must better than the older one. I was actually impressed with this version. One of the reasons I loved it so much, was because it was …

Arabian Nights (1999 Film)
Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …
Iron Man Movie
I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …
Into the Wild
I watched Into the Wild yesterday. I think most or part of the plot story that is in this story is based on true events. Sean Peen excels this time and this is a very good movie which leads you to think long after the movie’s finished. …
Thor The Dark World (2013 Film)
Thor The Dark World is the second film in the Thor franchise. It was a movie that I patiently awaited after watching the previous movie. Because of the extensive hype that comes with almost every superhero movie, I waited until it came on DVD to watch it. My review …

Rose Red (2002 Rilm)
Stephen King has been one of my favorite authors for creepy and late night frightening stories of all time. One of his stories that turned to a movie, the 2002 production of “Rose Red” was not only chilling and suspenseful but a movie I have strangely grown to really …
Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, movie
Birdman aka “The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance”, is a surprisingly dark-comedy film denoting the struggles of faded Hollywood star Riggan Thompson (Michael Keaton). Thompson played the eponymous “Birdman” an exceptionally popular superhero, in a series of blockbuster movies decades prior. Whilst being tortured by the internal voice of “Birdman”, …

Barnyard
I have recently purchased this movie and watched it with both my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren. The first thing I noticed was that the male cows, steers, bulls, whatever they are, have utters. My grandkids of course paid this no attention but I am assuming older children …

Saw II movie
The sequel to the controversial horror movie Saw, which had many similiarities to Seven, but which I still thought had some quality and interesting storyline to it. A horror movie that didn’t quite follow the conventional rules. The story was about people being kidnapped by a psychopathic man. He …
Make It Happen
I watched a movie with a friend, he was so excited about Make it Happen, a movie similar and is actually from the same creators of “Step Up”. Well the movie is really simple, I feel it does need a little more depth in it, I have totally wasted …
John Wick, Movie
I love revenge movies. They appeal to our baser instincts and when they’re done well they strike us at our emotional core. John Wick is a superb revenge flick that oozes style and menace.
From the outset this film makes its intentions very clear. It is light on dialogue and …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets( the movie)
This movie was second in the Harry Potter series. Usually the sequels are not as good as the first one but this one turned out to be an exception. This movie was in all ways equal in par to the Harry Potter part 1. The movie starts with …
The Caveman’s Valentine movie
I never heard of the movie “The Caveman’s Valentine” until I saw it recently on Amazon dot com when I was looking for something else. When it said that the movie was a suspense film starring Samuel L. Jackson my curiosity was piqued and I decided I was going …
The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)

The Hobbit movie
The old animated depiction of Tolkien’s beloved story, the only version of it that actually exists, but since The Lord of the Rings was such an enormous success I believe we will see a new version of The Hobbit very soon. This animated version was made in a time …
The First Wives Club
This movie I found to be very funny. I especially liked the part at the end, although the scene where they end up in a window washing rig outside of a building is great, too.
This movie is about three friends who have reunited after a long absence. They are …
Death Becomes Her (1992)
A more original plot you will never find or even dream of coming across in some lost text. Even if this movie is a remake or not, it has some great appeal and can easily be considered in my books of falling under the heading of an instant classic …
The Shame movie
Perhaps one of Ingmar Bergman’s most underrated film from the late 1960s, as usual by that time with Liv Ullman and Max von Sydow in the leading roles. It’s very uncharacteristic for Bergman as it deals with the atrocities of war, and this loving couple who are slowly driven …
Alien Versus Predator Requim
My husband and I saw this movie last night. The movie started out with the viewer knowing quite a bit of the continuing saga of the alien and predator saga. It did pick up where the last left off with the predator having captured some specimens of …
The Jacket (2005 movie)
This is a very confusing thriller if you don’t pay close attention to detail. It also shows what could happen in a mental institution that has a lack of morality and responsibility. This movie shows what happens to one such patient. He is convicted under cause of insanity for …
The Pride of Jesse Hallam movie
I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …
The Rescuers
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Rescuers. Now, Disney has had some pretty interesting Disney characters in the past, but it is a rarity to find mice as the main characters. In the Rescuers, that is the case. There is a group of mice known as …

Blockbuster makes renting movies very easy, I found it simple to log on …
Death Proof
Death Proof is the first “episode” of the recent grindhouse. Now personally i didn’t like this movie at all, it was very long, it took forever to get to the action, there are litterarily like 50 minutes of talking which lead to no real action. The movie itself is …

Greenberg (2010 movie)
This is a movie that I really got roped into seeing. My friend was very interested in seeing it, and he basically insisted that I had to see it with him. I had never even heard of it, so I had absolutely no idea what it was about. So …

I had my doubts about watching the movie Omar even though it was recommended to me. I didn’t know much about it except that it was set somewhere in the Middle East, and I was truly tired of watching depressing films and news of people struggling to be themselves and …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Quantum of Solace (2008) movie

Life is Hot in Cracktown movie
On Friday night I was searching the TV guide for something to watch and saw that there was a movie being aired on Showtime called “Life is Hot in Cracktown”. While I figured it was going to be a pointless independent film that I might even have a hard …
Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist
What I liked most about Dead Like Me: The Escape Artist is one of the scenes at the end. Barbara Barrie appears again as Joy’s mother. The two don’t get along very well, but yet at the end, they share a calm moment. The really good …
Ghost and Mrs Muir
I love movies, it is one of my favorite pasttimes. I like old movies also, some of them are so well done that they are truly classics. I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a 1947 movie entitled The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

The Wedding Ringer - Comedy Movie (2015)
The Wedding Ringer is a Comedy movie that delivers- in parts. Often I was laughing really hard but other times the comedy got a little bland. I did enjoy myself and found the change on the classic ‘loser get’s the hot girl’, interesting.
The story is about a man named Doug …
FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
