Return of the Jedi
In the third installment of the original Star Wars triology was the Return of the Jedi. I think that this was one exciting movie.
Our list of charachters return with Luke Skywalker now a full fledged Jedi, and part of him, his arm has been replaced with …
War Horse (movie)
When I heard about the movie “War Horse” a couple months ago, the plot sounded so interesting to me that I couldn’t wait to try it. I realise now that it was only because the person had given me a very brief and interesting synopsis of the movie’s plot. …
Bus 174
Bus 174 is a movie that I really enjoyed watching with my sister and brother. We love watching hostages movie scenario, but felt that to happen in real life would be devastating. But I love watching how the characters blend and try to escape, something like that. …
Earthquake (1974)
Starring: Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, George Kennedy, Lorne Greene, Genevieve Bujold, Richard Roundtree, Marjoe Gortner, Barry Sullivan, Lloyd Nolan, and Victoria Principal.
Directed by: Mark Robson.
“Earthquake” followed the wave of the huge disaster film craze back in the 1970s. It actually competed with the megahit, “The Towering Inferno”, in the …
Rain in the Mountains (2007)
As movies go this is best viewed with plans of lobbing popcorn at the screen from time to time. The plot was shaky and the acting so bad it was amusing. However, it is not entirely without merit for a small subsection of the population living in the Pacific …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
When I heard they were making a Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, I was somewhat interested. But, then I saw the previews for it and thought it would be stupid so I avoided watching it at the theater. And, when I got my DVD …
Kingdom of Heaven movie
There is something definitely charming about the Kingdom of Heaven movie. Not only is it a wonderful epic movie, but there is a sense of real movie magic and silent dignity hidden somewhere in the lines. It does not set out to be a righteous movie with great ideas …
Jackie, 2016 movie
Grief is universal. People can be rich; can be poor; can be famous; can be no one; or can be a first lady like Jackie Kennedy - all of whom will experience the loss of a loved one. You either cry or you try to act like a strong person …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very hilarious movie that I love watching.
I caught this on DVD moments back and it’s basically about a guy trying to get over his ex-girlfriend but having problems with that when he decides to go on a vacation and sees her there with …
Eragon Movie
The movie Eragon is about a boy named Eragon who grew up in the village of Caravahall in the land of Alagaësia. There were once dragons and dragon rider but they were wiped out by the evil Galbatorix. Eragon discovers and egg and finds out that there …
Traitor
The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …
High School Musical
Can two different people from two different worlds apart get together? A lot of stories have already answered that question, but perhaps the most popular story among them is Disney’s “High School Musical”.
This made-for-TV movie follows the story of Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), a basketball jock, and Gabriella Montez …
Quantum of Solace
I watched Quantum of Solace a couple of months ago, since I am fan of the James Bond Series. And after watching it, I really liked it. It is basically a sequel to Casino royale in which by being betrayed by Vesper, James Bond wants revenge from his enemies …
The Dark Half,movie
The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …
Where The Wild Things Are: The Movie
I think it’s fair to say that mostly everyone has read, heard of, or watched the cartoon of “Where the Wild Things Are”. Also, it hit headlines to a somewhat large scale as the 2009 movie was released, giving a new spin to the beloved children’s book. And while …
Fracture
The other night I went to see Fracture. After seeing the trailer at a showing of another film, I figured this would be an interesting film. The film had not let me down. Anthony Hopkins, of course, gave a very compelling performance and really let you get a feel …
Speed Racer (2008)
This movie is a live action movie that has been created off the cartoon TV series that is still being aired on the Boomerang channel and a newly revised series on the Nicktoons Networks. The movie is just abominable if that’s the right word to use for it. Terrible …
Life (1999)
Life, directed by Ted Demme is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of Amereica for strong language and a shooting. The original release date was April 16, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime/Drama and stars Eddie Murphy as Rayford Gibson, Martin …
Judgement Day movie
I am reviewing the movie, Judgement Day, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as the policemen duo of DCI Tom Barnaby and DS Gavin Troy. This film was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by author Caroline Graham.
In Judgement Day, …
The Saint (1997 movie)
Val Kilmer takes on the multi-characters of a secret agent spy/thief. The focus is cold fusion as a means of generating heat for an entire nation. On scientist, character play by the ever beautiful and stunning Elisabeth Shue, tries to put the pieces together for the revolutionary breakthrough of …
Movie: “Sex Drive”
For me, “Sex Drive” was an instant classic. I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this ridiculous romp. Like most of the movies I prefer, it’s based on a book (’All the Way’ by Andy Behrens). I was absolutely entertained and look forward to watching it again.
The film …
Happy Feet
In the movie Happy Feet, penguins must find their heart song in order to find their life partner. The main character Mumble has an issue with finding his heart song- he can not sing. It is kind of implied that something happened during the incubating period that resulted his …
If Only Movie
This Movie was released 4 years ago. My friend just recommended me to watch this love story movie by Jennifer Love Hewitt. I never thought that Jennifer is really in acting, but I discovered she begun doing movies since early 90’s. I found this movie interesting because I never …
Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …
Babysitter Wanted Horror movie
I am reveiwing the new Horror movie “Babysitter Wanted”. At first I thought this movie was going to be more like a Halloween Micke Myers kind of movie but when I beheld the child with the horns in the top of his head i was more than flabbergasted.
Initially …
Film Gremlins
When Gremlins was first released, I was not allowed to see it being too young. My older sister and her best friend were taken to the theater to see the film while I stayed with my Grandfather. I remember that I got a teddy bear in compensation.
I also will …
Little Miss Sunshine
“Little Miss Sunshine” is an extraordinary comedy. It’s basic set-up as a road trip movie starring a middle-class family begs the comparison to National Lampoon’s “Vacation” or maybe even the recent “RV.” However, this film tackles far more serious issues and delivers it’s jokes with much more class and …
Kama Sutra movie
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 …
The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
I Know What You Did Last Summer, directed by Jim Gillespie is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong horror violence and language. The original release date for the movie was October 17, 1997 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of …

Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
The Death of Richie movie
Wow. I almost hated to watch this movie again because it’s a heartbreaker, and more than that, it’s a true story. That’s why it rips through me. I remember watching this in 1977. I remember reading about it. I believe it was Parade that did a …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …
Ninotchka
I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …
Serenity (2005)
Serenity, written and directed by Joss Whedon is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sequences of intense violence and action, and some sexual references. The original release date was September 30, 2005 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Adventure/Science Fiction/Thriller …
How the West Was Won
How the West Was Won is an epic motion picture with some really great scenery. The cinematography is outstanding. It’s a star studded cast which brings to life the story of the movement west. It begins in St. Joseph, Missouri, the jumping off point for all …
Sex And Breakfast
Sex And Breakfast is a comedy film that was released in 2007. Or should I say that Sex And Breakfast is supposed to be a comedy? There were some funny moments in the film, but mostly when awkward things happened, but I would not call this movie a true …
Valkyrie
Valkyrie tries valiantly to be a good movie, but ultimately, fails. The movie is put together very well, with phenomenal acting by every one involved. Both the writing and the directing are equally great. So why does the movie fail? The story simple can’t carry istelf through a whole …
Erin Brockovich
This is a very beautiful movie. Well, it’s based on the life of activist Erin Brockovich, so there’s nothing much we can do or comment about the plot or story line. Erin lived a very inspiring, albeit controversial life and we owe some respect as to how she lives …
Mr. Destiny
My favorite comedy of all times is Mr. Destiny. It is about a guy who wonders what would have happened if he hit a baseball back in high school and then one day he finds out. It was a bad day when his car broke down in front …

The Sentinel
I am reviewing the movie, The Sentinel, starring Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland. Michael Douglas’ character is a secret service agent working for the president. He’s a good secret service agent. Everyone can depend on him, and everyone trusts him, except his former best friend, played by Kiefer …
Four Weddings and a Funeral with Hugh Grant
This movie is full of funny scenes. It starts with Hugh Grant’s character being late for a wedding he is attending. Worse yet, he is the best man, and he has forgotten the rings. The bride and groom end up getting married using junk jewelery that his friend was …
Death Note, Netflix movie
This movie, created by Netflix, is a live action take on the anime Death Note. I will say right now that the anime version is easily one of my favorite shows, and when I heard that Netflix was creating this I was excited but didn’t really expect much from it. …
Shutter Island Movie (2010)
This is one of the best suspense and thriller movies I have ever watched, this movie is all about Teddy (Leonardo Di Caprio) investigating a murder/lost disappearance case within the isolated and remote Shutter Island, which is an asylum for the mentally insane. Teddy goes with his partner Chuck …
Pirates of the Caribean
We recently purchased the Pirates of the Caribean on video from Wal Mart. The one with Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. I enjoyed this movie as much at home as I did in the movies when it first came out.
Johnny Depp play a direputile pirate …
50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals DVD Collection
I can only compare this 50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals from Mill Creek Entertainment to the company’s 100 Movie Pack Hollywood Classics, which I reviewed recently. One thing that is different is that the sleeves the DVDs come in are not as thick of material. They are …
Shortbus movie
Shortbus is not a movie for everyone. First and foremost, it must be said that this film is extremely explicit, sexually. But it is also an extremely artistic film that depicts the intimate lives of several different types of New York residents. The couples …
