Hitman movie
I was not at all impressed with this movie. I wasn’t even planning on renting it because of the uneventful trailers that I saw on television. However, when my boyfriend brought it home to watch because some friends of ours wanted to see it, I took one for the …
Spiderman 3
I went into this movie expecting it to be busy. It was, but not at first. It started off very slowly, reintroducing the main characters and situations already familiar to us from the first two movies. But, with the preliminaries out of the way, things got rockin’, starting, I …
All About Steve film
I like the fact that Sandra Bullock in many of her films, usually plays a feisty but vulnerable sort of character, a real fighter, someone we can all relate to. “All About Steve” continues in this time honored tradition, rather like, “Miss Congeniality”. I was pleasantly surprised to find …
The Contender
I’ll just start with the part I didn’t like. I didn’t like the speech at the end by the President as played by Jeff Bridges. I had liked his character up until then but something about the way it was written seemed obvious to me somehow. Maybe in this …
Poison Ivy
I have watched the movie ‘Poison Ivy’. The director is Katt Shea. The actors are Drew Barrymore, Sara and Tom. Sara plays the role of Sylvie and Drew of Ivy. All the actors have performed well.
Sara is a high school student in California. It is here that she makes …
X-Files, I want to Believe
When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.
As it turned out, …

Another Marvel Comics superhero is brought to life again. Daredevil is directed and written by Mark Steven Johnson and it stars Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jon Favreau.

This movie opens up with the Brothers Grimm meeting the queen of France. She pulls out a glass slipper and goes about telling the real story of Cinderella. There are no pumpkin carriages nor mice turned …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
Blood: The Last Vampire
I watched Blood: The Last Vampire recently and it is such a good movie. Saya is this kind-heart half vampire and half human girl and she has a mission. Which is to kill Onigen, this very evil one of a kind type of vampire. Even though Saya …
“Valentine” Motion Picture
I watched this movie because I like David Boreanaz and have enjoyed watching him in the tv shows Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. He is a fine actor who seems to only be able to do drama and horror but he does a good job. Anyone …
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009 Movie)
First off, I did not go to see this in theaters. I waited until it was available through Netflix streaming before I actually saw it. That being said, this movie was absolutely amazing even without Imax, surround sound, and in 3D. It’s based off a children’s book, and according …
Norbit movie
This week ,I saw the movie-Norbit.A comedy movie with no moral and no story.It is just funny.Only funny characters.
Eddie Murphy is the lead character.His character in this movie did not totally workout.Eddie murphy plays the character of Norbit.He grew up in an Asian orphanage.There he plays …
Movie Tavern
This is by far, hands-down, beyond a shadow of a doubt THE worst movie theater I have ever been to in my life, and I have been to a few pretty bad ones. I have never had a movie experience so ruined as I did the night I attended …
Firstborn,1984 movie
This is another depressing movie, of the kind I dislike. I mean, life can be depressing enough, so why take its darkest things onto the screen and drag them on and on? Not that I’m totally opposed to movies showing negative reality, but come on, sometimes enough is enough.
Anyway. …
Dark Mountain movie
1944’s Dark Mountain is a really nice B-motion picture. Certainly, there’s nothing stellar in this less than one hour movie, but the story is entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while watching it.
Robert Lowery starred as a forest ranger named Don Bradley. I have no idea who …
Movie Doubt
Doubt is a movie that takes place in the Bronx, New York in 1964. It stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Father Flynn a charismatic priest affiliated with a Catholic Parochial school. Sister Aloysius is the Principal of the school. She is known as a …
Movie Wanted
Wanted is an excellent action film with a compelling enough story. The main motivation to watch this film is for the action scenes and the gun battles. Even though some scenes are not very realistic (It may be possible to bend or curve a bullet, but some scenes are …
Click (movie)
Devilishly funny and a new classic is the movie click. It has Adam Sandler in it and he is an awesome comedian. Click is about how this guy wants one remote to control his life and make it easier on him so he goes to a bed, bath, and …
Ed Wood movie
Tim Burton’s lovely portrait of the bizarre director Ed Wood comes to life with an amazing Johnny Depp in the leading role and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi. I don’t know if everything in this film is the truth, but it sure is very convincing and enjoyable, much thanks …
It Takes Two movie
Mary Kate and her sister Ashley Olsen star in the movie It Takes Two. This movie reminds me a little bit of a classic Disney movie called the Parent Trap. Except that the man in this movie is a rich tycoon who made it big on making money from …
Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger movie
I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …
Black Sunday movie
Mario Bava’s breakthrough picture has an opening scene that astounded a whole generation of filmmakers. It is so filled with mood and gothic beauty, but at the same time frightening in its graphical violence. The story here is about a witch waking up from her slumber in 1700th century …
The Longest Day movie
The Longest Day has always been an amazing recounting of D-Day, the sixth of June. It’s probably my favorite of all of the World War II movies that I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a ton over the decades. The stellar cast of The Longest Day goes a …
Love Actually movie
I normally hate watching romance films, but since my friend fooled me that the actor Orlando Bloom was in the movie I ended up watching the movie to the end and feeling very annoyed and disappointed after as he obviously never appeared. The only thing which comforted me a …
Just Deal with it: The Movie
Looking for a good comedy? This is a great one.
This movie starts with Adam Sandler at his wedding. He over hears his gorgeous wife talking to her braids maids and making fun of his entire family and there giant noses. Sandler then does the …

My wife and I are always looking for ways to keep the spark in our love life lit. This includes watching “instructional” videos and learning new techniques in the bedroom.
Since she went to bed early last night, I decided to check out one I could load on my netflix …
Only God Forgives, movie (2013)
Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …
“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …

Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …
Hostel movie

Hostile falls into that category 100% Over sexed college guys trekking across Europe go in search of a Hostel where all their fantasies will be fulfilled, only to discover they are now …
Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …
The Hot Chick Movie
This is a really funny and crazy movie that I would want to watch from time to time! It features Rachel McAdams and Anna Faris as close buddies, they’re really sort of a mean clique because of Rachel as their leader, but when they’re all together they’re really sweet …
The Pagemaster
This movie is so much fun! It was made in 1994 and stars Christopher Lloyd and Macaulay Culkin, with other well known actors lending their voices and talents to the film, including Whoopi Goldberg.
When the movie begins and ends, it’s live action. But, for the …
Premonition
Premonition is a movie I couldn’t wait for it to come out on DVD. I love Sandra Bullock and figured that this movie would be a great one to watch. I was wrong. Very wrong. This is a movie that is almost painful to watch. It is not written …
3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …
Awake movie
I actually haven’t heard of nor seen a trailer of the movie Awake. I have learned about it through my friend who had watched it and after he giving me an overview of its story, I instantly want to watch it.
Awake is about Clay Beresford played by Hayden Christensen, …
Columbo: Ashes to Ashes movie
Columbo: Ashes to Ashes was directed by actor Patrick McGoohan, who also guest stars in the program. He’s done this, acting and directing in a Columbo, a few times before. His character this time around is mortician Eric Prince.
Rue McClanahan does a nifty job as gossip columnist …
The Postman movie
The Postman with Kevin Costner and Will Patton.
What a great story told by a great actor Imagine that the world’s governments crumbled and all communication non existent between the surviving clans. This description does not generate the level of interest that this exciting …
Semi-Pro
I don’t know if this movie was supposed to be funny or not but I just didn’t really enjoy it. It’s about a struggling basketball team and Will Farrel is the coach that has to try and bring it up out of its slump. It was kind of a …
Movie Horton Hears a Who
I am reviewing the movie, Horton Hears a Who. So, this is a Dr. Seuss story. It’s about this big, fat elephant named Horton. He’s generally liked by the others in the jungle. One day, he hears a cry for help. It happens to be coming from a tiny …

Wonder Woman - The Complete First Season
I have a complete first season DVD of The Wonder Woman. Yes, it is true and please do not laugh for I love this show pretty much while it was broadcast on the TV channels a couple years back.
It is especially fun to watch this DVD with my group …
Old School movie
