Sweet November
“Sweet November” is definitely not the best movie for Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron; however the magic that they make in this movie is simply incredible. I simply love it, even though it has a different conclusion from what I would have liked and most importantly, even though they …
The Outer Limits : “Second Soul” episode
I rented the Outer Limits : Death and Beyond series because I’m truly a creepy person. I’ve always loved the Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside. So, I thought that this would be a natural DVD choice for someone like me. Boy was I …
“The Notebook” movie
This movie is one of my favorites. It is a story of a true love that is against all odds. This is a box office movie in 2004. It earns millions of dollars worldwide.

Carny Movie
I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.

Cemetery Gates (movie)
Normally I enjoy most creature and scary animal movies, but I found this one a large disappointment. When I first heard about Cemetery Gates I was quite eager to see it as I had never seen a horror movie about a Tasmanian devil. So when I did see it, …
Desperate Escape movie
Though made in 2009, Desperate Escape only premiered on the Lifetime Movie Channel in February 2010. Make no mistake this is a B-movie with a standard, much-used plot and not a single surprise within in, unless you’re new to TV and movies. What it does have, however, …

When I saw the preview to Ghost Rider, I was impressed. I am a fan of Nick Cage and at the time he had 2 movies soon to be released. The imagery of the Ghost rider was good, graphic and it really illustrated the concept; Rider for the devil. …

Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …

Sherlock Holmes movie
Sherlock Holmes stories have always been popular in the movie world, but I must say, that I really did not expect a movie like that to be made. I would have never thought of make a Sherlock Holmes movie as an action movie. The movie does not support the …
The Yes Man
I saw the preview for this movie and I thought it could be good, I like Jim Carrey as a comedian. It was really funny, almost as funny as Bruce almighty. Carl (played by Jim Carrey) is a man that never says yes to anything, he likes to avoid …
Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …

Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
Gridiron Gang Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
I loved this movie because it showed that you can discipline with a heart. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson portrayed a great role model who cared about others. Despite the fact that these kids had major issues with the law and had been given up on, he decides to take …

Rachel Getting Married movie
The entire movie felt like an indie film from start to finish. The script was refreshing, the cinematography was very basic yet effective and the cast was not that famous but still lived up to their roles. I never liked Anne Hathaway and her character as Kym only solidified …

The New Adventures of Old Christine stars Julia Louise Dreyfus. With an excellent supporting cast of nobodies, Dreyfus creates a very funny series and shows why she was an intricate star in Seinfeld.
She can definitely carry a show. Why is this frying pan faced …

Mamma Mia!

Mr. and Mrs. Smith A Movie

The Brothers Grimsby 2016 Spy Action Comedy Movie
I had seen the trailer for the movie “The Brothers Grimsby” previously but wrote it off and forgot about it because I didn’t think that it would be great at all. However, after seeing the audience’s reaction to a clip of the movie on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I became …
Blues Clues Big Musical
I love Blues Clues so it wasn’t shocking that I loved the first feature length film. I love the catchy songs, the games, the story, and the fun!
All of my four kids have watched Blues Clues since they were old enough to watch a video. I really think …
Angels in the Outfield
One of the movies which I can remember was released in the nineteen nineties was the movie “Angels in the Outfield”. It was one of the movies I loved as a child since it was a children’s movie with a very interesting plot. It was not one of those …
Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) movie
When I was in middle school I was so excited to see this movie but my parents would never allow me to see it because of the gore and violence. So now many years later I decided to buy it just to see if I was missing out on …

I really liked the movie True Lies, I thought this film was very and it had a good storyline. I really liked the whole secret agent thing, and agents are always pretty exciting. I think the whole storyline about how the agent’s wife was cheating on him is not that …

Casino Royale
Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …
“Pacific Rim” movie
The geek community had high hopes for this movie. Having giant robots fighting giant monsters seems like a guaranteed good time, but the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was helming the project only added to the hype.
I have to admit, Del Toro’s been on a hot streak lately. …
Whisper (R, 2007)
I usually am a little apprehensive about “no-name” horror films. But I gave this one a shot. I am glad that I did because this movie was more interesting than I thought it would be. The plot is fairly simple: a group of …
Vicky, Christina, Barcelona
I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …
Faithful Unto Death
I am reviewing the murder mystery film, Faithful Unto Death, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based off of the novels of Caroline Graham. It was created in 1998.

Good Luck Chuck DVD
In retrospect, I should have rented the Rated version of this DVD and left the unrated version on the shelf; but come to think of it, the rental store didn’t have the Rated DVD.
I remember thinking, the previews were cute with Jessica Alba being so klutzy and …
