I recently purchased the movie Valerie on the Stairs on the recommendation of a good friend. I bought the DVD second-hand at a going-out-of-business sale at a rental store for $3.50, USD. My friend was incredibly interested to hear this, as he had only seen it once or twice …

This movie which acts like a musical is very enjoyable to watch. I really liked the singing, and found Nicole Kidman great in her role. The coincidences were funny, and the entire movie was just silly.
The play within the movie was ridiculous, but how they tied it into the …

Overall it was an alright movie. It’s nothing like I thought it was going to be. It would be an alright movie to watch on a rainy day but if you are looking for a really good movie I wouldn’t choose this one. It did keep me some what …

‘A Walk To Remember’ was a film released in 2002, was one unforgettable and must-see movie. The drama made me cry even if I watched it so many times. It’s timelessly and beautifully romantic.

It is the story of an english couple played by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland who’s daughter dies for mysterious …

Will Farrell is hilarious with John C. Reilly in this comedy of two men who somehow managed to slip through the cracks and who refuse to grow up. I don’t think that this film will win any awards for its quality, but for a laugh fest, it fit’s the …

Martin Scorsese won me with The Departed and continued his amazing streak of great movies with Shutter Island-a psychological thriller motion picture for which I thought that I literraly watched in one breath although throughout the film I was usually out of one.
Tedy Daniels …

I highly anticipated the comedy “17 Again”; I’m not a huge Zac Efron fan, but the movie looked cute. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver.

This comedy is a real hoot! The cast of What a Way to Go! is first rate, a truly phenomenal group of actors who all surround the female star, Shirley MacLaine. Shirley plays Louisa May Foster, a girl from a humble family who really only wants to …

After the terrible versions that came before it, I was frightened that Batman Begins would continue on that downward spiral of failure. I had hopes that it would not because of the amount of time that there was between the two failure films and this one, as well as …

Perhaps one of Ingmar Bergman’s most underrated film from the late 1960s, as usual by that time with Liv Ullman and Max von Sydow in the leading roles. It’s very uncharacteristic for Bergman as it deals with the atrocities of war, and this loving couple who are slowly driven …

children’s movie as well as I did …

As far as movie spoofs go, Airplane has to be one of the most politically incorrect films I’ve ever seen considering it doesn’t hesitate to insult any race or religion. I think that’s what makes the film so funny.
Actor Robert Hays is great in his role as a former …
