Movies Reviews
Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Fantasy film
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is the director’s biggest film to date. Yeah sure you could say that some of his other films are better and I would agree, but this one was a cash cow. Disney knew this so in 3 short months the movie went from being …
Baby Mama (2008)
Director: Michael McCullers. Featuring Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Sigourney Weaver and Steve Martin.
It is a comedy that has its funny moments, although some serious truths are hidden behind it. It is a clear cut chick flick, romantic comedy designed for some light watching. It could have been a complete …
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days
I can’t believe that after so many times watching How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, I have not yet reviewed this story at all. Therefore, I am staring now and for those of you whom have not yet made the cut to watch this, what are you …
The Jane Austen Book Club
I don’t recommend watching The Jane Austen Book Club if you are the acting pack type of movie buff or if you are just looking for an action love story filled with romantic notions and all that.
For this movie is plainly about a book club started out by …
Omar (drama movie)
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 Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
Shrek the third
I’ve heard some very mixed emotions about Shrek the Third for weeks before I made up my mind to go and see it myself. It took me this long, mainly because I did not want to be disapointed. See, I am a very big Shrek fan. …

LadyHawke film
LadyHawke is one of Matthew Broderick’s better films even though most people probably haven’t seen it.
The movie is full of medieval fantasy and magic as he tries to help a couple that is cursed. The woman is a hawk by day and the man a wolf by night, keeping …

With upcoming stars at the time was Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, they play against veteran actor this time a bad guy in Dennis Hopper. An eccentric bomber plans to be wealthy by cashing in on ransom funds, while a cop teams up with a female civilian and tries …
Psycho 1998 version
I finally saw the Psycho 1998 version and I must say it was a good movie. Now I have never seen the original Alfred Hitchcock version, but this one was pretty good. A younger Vince Vaughn played the role of the Psycho killer. He did a great job in the …
Skyfall (action movie)
I stopped being a James Bond fan years ago, and honestly, I can’t even remember why. This is why I ended up missing Casino Royale. Nevertheless, after I decided to try watching Skyfall recently, I enjoyed it so much, that I’m actually eagerly awaiting the release of the next James …
Contagion Movie (2011)
After seeing the Contagion movie, the best word I have to describe is it disturbing. But for a moment movie this is not necessarily a bad thing. The most important thing for a movie is to make you feel and to make you care about what happens to the …
The Age of Adaline (2015) - Movie
I found out about The Age of Adaline while scrolling through an article cataloguing new 2015 movie releases. I never saw the trailer but I decided to see this movie because I recognized the actress on the movie poster. I know Blake Lively from the TV show Gossip Girl and …

The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
Harold and kumar go to white castle
One day I watched this movie because I was really bored and it was on television. It wasn’t that good at all. I think I might have laughed once or twice. Most of the time I like movies about this or that are like this. This movie though made …
9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …

Battle Planet (movie)
When I saw the dvd at the house of a friend, I could not help thinking that the name “Battle Planet” sounded familiar. However, later on I learned that the movie was actually a Syfy original science fiction movie, and after reading a good, review on it, I was …
I Walked with a Zombie movie
Another classic horror film, made back in the 1930s. Very subtle horror is it doesn’t really contain any violence or monsters. A woman travels to Jamaica where she learns of the strange culture called voodoo - the ability to control people using a puppet.
This woman experiences the most remarkable …
Daredevil Movie
Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …
10000 B.C. Movie

Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …
Date with an Angel
I can remember watching this movie a couple years ago one Saturday when there was absolutely nothing interesting going on on television. I had seen it on the television guide and there was no summary so I didn’t know what it would be about, but nevertheless, decided to try …
Redbox DVD Rental
I rent from the kiosk machine Redbox. It is conveniently located in a lot of grocery stores, gas stations, and some drug stores. I was previously renting from a movie rental store and would often get aggravated when I would turn in the movie a day late and would …

Please Don’t Eat the Daisies movie

Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
Movie Waterworld
The movie Waterworld was on cable the other night and, because I haven’t seen it in a while, I decided to sit down and watch it.
I remembered it being much better than it turned out to be.
I’m not a huge Kevin Costner fan but I will say he put …
Movie The Candidate
“What do we do now?”
It’s a simple question, but it’s a chilling one when asked by Bill McKay in The Candidate. McKay is played brilliantly by Robert Redford. He’s a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. He’s idealistic, and he doesn’t believe in making deals. …
Going My Way movie
Going My Way is absolutely wonderful. With Bing Crosby in the lead, you know it’s going to be somewhat laid back, and it is. It’s a subtle work that touches the heart and spurs on our emotions. Crosby is Father O’Malley, and he’s been sent to …

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane Movie

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie
