This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …
Vacancy Movie
Vacancy is a movie released in 2007 starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. If you think that combination sounds a little odd, don’t worry because so did I! I actually saw this movie while it was playing in the theater and I liked it enough that I actually bought …
Role Models (UR, 2008) movie
I was dying to see this movie when it hit theaters. But alas, I ended up catching it on DVD. And I have to say that I’m glad I waited. While the movie was funny, I found the little boy’s antics a bit over …
The movie I am Legend
I am one of those people who love scary or mysterious movies. You know what I’m talking about the “what if this happened movies.” I love all kind of movies, but I was really wanting to see the “I am Legend” movie with Will Smith. I must mention that …
Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo was one of the most successful animated movies by Pixar and really set them apart as an excellent animation studio. Finding Nemo followed the standard of movie quality always seen in Pixar works as being a movie that was very kid friendly while still being entertaining for …
The Weather Man
I am reviewing the movie, The Weather Man, starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine. Nicolas Cage plays David Spritz, a Chicago TV meteorologist, whose life is a complete mess. People don’t like his weather reports, as the weather is so unpredictable, and he’s usually wrong during his reports. He’s …
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie
This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …
Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …
Happy Feet Movie
My one year old daughter absolutely loves this movie. We have the DVD and I believe we have watched this movie atleast twenty times. She adores the dancing and singing and gets the happy feet herself as she dances non stop to the musicals. I myself love the humor …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
The Devil Wears Prada
The Devil Wears Prada is not only very entertaining, both for those that are interested in the fashion industry and for those who are not, but it is also an eye opening and touching movie that does force one to take a look at his/her own life and the …
Munich: Movie
I found Munich to be a very interesting and well-made Movie, though partly down to my political interests.
It is truly an intriguing story, based on true events, for anyone with an interest in politics, war and undercover assignments.
The opening scenes of the Munich shootings at the 1972 Olympics are …
Movie: Dolls
Since yesterday was Halloween, my wife and I spent part of the afternoon watching scary movies. One of the movies we ended up watching was one I haven’t seen in a long time called Dolls. I didn’t remember much about it, other than, when I was younger, it scared …
“Despicable Me” the Movie
When I arrived to the theaters and sat down, I was half expecting a really corny kid movie with “Despicable Me”. The trailers really did not interest me in any way, but since I was obligated to watch this movie for a personal project of mine, I decided to …
About A Boy movie
“About a Boy” is the movie where Hugh Grant tried to make something different from the usual movie projects we are so used seeing him in. I must admit that, although this movie was a great success, I prefer Grant version in his usual type of movies. All in …
Soul Survivors Movie
Soul Survivors is one of the most confusing movies ever made. Yet I still find myself watching it every few years. When I do re-watch it, I still find myself wondering what exactly happened, and feeling highly confused by the plot. Then a few months pass, and I end …
Movie The Proposal
Featuring two of my favorite actors, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this movie leaves much to be desired. The story follows a publisher, Margaret Tate who is Bullock’s character to hatch a hare-brained scheme to marry her assistant to renew her visa. Her assistant, Andrew Tate played …
Flags Of Our Fathers Movie
Flags of Our Father is a very strong, graphic and realistic war movie covering the battle of Iwo Jima. Having seen other movies such as Private Ryan, I had gone into this movie with the expectation to see lots of battle scenes and the brutality of war. …
The Witches of Eastwick (1987 movie)

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 …
Jane Eyre Movie 1970
This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …
Movie: Mama Mia
Synopsis: A young woman is about to get married and, not knowing who her real father is, decides to invite three men her mom was involved with so she can meet her dad for the first time and feel complete.
What I liked about this movie: I am too young …
The Parent Trap - Film 1961
The first time I ever watched this movie I did so rather tongue-in-cheek - simply because my mother had recommended it and my mother and I do not have the same taste in movies! So to say that I was pleasantly surprised is a bit of an understatement.
The story …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …

Fast & Furious (4)
Since I’ve watched all the previous installments of Fast And Furious, I knew what to expect from the fourth part. And I was not disappointed. The best thing about this part is Vin Diesel and Paul Walker back together. This could easily be the follow up for the …
The Ring (2002) movie
People used to tell me all about this movie, so I knew what to expect but my girlfriend still said I had to watch it cause the creepiness gets to everyone. I can’t lie this movie is very creepy and the ending is just great.
The story is all …

Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Devdas movie
One of the most expensive Bollywood movies ever. I am not a very big fan of indian films, but perhaps that is because I didn’t see that many yet, I’m not sure. Devdas is about a man who returns to India after a long exile abroad, falls in love …

Ok so they had to make another Bachelor Party A sequel to the 1984 Tom Hanks hit about an out of control bachelor party in the Biltmore hotel in LA. The only thing this movie uses from the original is the title so if you expect …
Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …
Punisher: War Zone, comic book action film by Lexi Alexander
Marvel has a lot of memorable characters. One of those characters that everybody knows is the Punisher. It may seem like an easy task to make a movie based around this character, but two prier films have shown that this character is better on paper that on the big …
The Bucket List (movie)

Shrek 2
The funniest movie you’ll ever see. That is how I had this movie advertised to me. I laughed and said no way when I heard this. And after seeing the movie I am ready to admit..I was right. This movie is no where NEAR the …
Get Smart movie
For the past month or so I’ve seen previews on TV for the movie Get Smart. It didn’t look that great to me, I figured it may be worth getting on Netflix when it comes out on DVD, but that was all. Certainly not worth seeing in …

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 …
Twilight Movie
My boyfriend and I went to go see Twilight at the movie theater. I talked him into going with me because all my friends were raving about the book series. I tried reading the book but it couldn’t hold my attention past the third page. So …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …
The Lake House Movie
Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …
Finding Nemo (2003)

Spiderman Movie
When the movie Spiderman came out in theaters, I remember it got a lot of attention. I for one wasn’t any less thrilled than everyone else since I grew up reading Marvel comics even though those days I hadn’t read one in a long time.
I had no idea …
Barry Lyndon Movie
Stanley Kubrick is one exception of a filmmaker who actually was just as popular with the audience and critics with almost all of his films. Despite that fact he was never a commercial director and always but the artistic vision before the entertainment. Barry Lyndon is slow, poetic retelling …
