Inkheart movie
The moment I heard what “Inkheart” was about, I knew I had to see that movie. For someone who loves books, the concept of book characters coming out from the pages into our world is fascinating.
“Inkheart” is based on a novel by Conrelia Funke. Those who have read the …
Tower Heist (2011 movie)
This a 2011 movie but I watched it with my friends just recently this year. It went for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. Originally I wanted to watch MI4, but after watching Tower Heist I know that I made the right decision to watch it.
Although it wasn’t …
48 Hours
Lately, whenever you see Eddie Murphy in a movie, it is a family film. And, while movies like Dr. Doolittle and the Nutty Professor were good, they weren�t nearly as good as his earlier movies.
I finally got a chance to watch one of those movies this weekend; 48 Hours. …
The Pacifier
I recently watched The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel as Shane Wolf a Navy Seal whose latest mission is to protect 5 children from assassins trying to get a secret program from their home. Lauren Gram plays a principal and Brad Garret a laughable vice principal at …
Beerfest Movie
The movie Beerfest takes two things I enjoy, beer and movies and combines them together to make a fun summer flick. Beerfest, as you can tell by the title is nto an intellectual film, its not even a remotely serious film. Beerfest covers the life of two Americans who …

The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)

The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …
This Is Spinal Tap
This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …
Blue Hawaii movie
Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …
Passenger 57
Passenger 57 is an action flick starring Wesley Snipes and Bruce Payne released back in 1992 when audiences could tolerate terrorists and airline hijackers - unlike the post 9/11 world we live in today.
So anyway, Wesley Snipes plays John Cutter the good guy - a former cop turned airline …

White Noise movie
White Noise is yet another scary movie that wasn’t so scary. The movie is about people who try to contact ghosts using EVP. I mean some small parts of the movie were actually scary. But I thought most, of the movie was not scary at all. So as I was …
Spread the Movie
This is most definitely not a romance movie. This movie is essentially the story of a young guy living in LA and getting by on his looks alone, until he finds love i guess. Ashton is essentially plays a pool boy role minus the pool. And Anne is the …
The Big Fight (1972)
There’s really no doubt in my mind that Martial Arts movies rock. They’re creative, invigorating, and can make anyone who watches them sit on the edge of their seat, their heart pounding as two men fight fist to fist, or blade to blade. I find them to be a …
Spongebob Squarepants
I feel that anybody, no matter how young, old or conservative you are, who has never watched even a single episode of the cartoon series, Spongebob Squarepants, is seriously missing out on some creatively crazy genius.
I think the cartoon will be enjoyed by anybody with a sense of humor, …

Ocean’s Thirteen

2001: A Space Oddyssey (1968)
The film 2001: A Space Odyssey is a mind bending triumph of land mark cinematic filmmaking. Released in 1968, it was a box office hit, but was misunderstood by many critics as to what they were viewing. They had no idea they were viewing a celluloid epic creation which …
Erin Brockovich movie
The movie Erin Brockovich is a very inspiring movie. She was a single mom of three that proved that she could make it. I was really impressed how she fought for the people in the town against a big company.

The Happening movie

Fight Club: Movie
Fight Club is a brilliant movie; I found its portrayal of a psychologically disturbed human being very interesting.
The storyline in itself is quite good, but you’re never quite sure of where it is going until a major twist is revealed towards the end. But even with this lack of …
The Good Girl
The Good Girl shows Jennifer Anniston at her finest, I think. Jennifer Anniston plays Justine, a married woman working at a small town, dumpy store the equivalent of a Wal Mart. Justine does cosmetics, and makes other women beautiful. Justine doesn’t feel so beautiful, however, and it is apparent …
Funny People (2009) movie
I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.
The main character Ida …

The Devil Wears Prada (PG-13, 2006) movie
It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.

The Hills Have Eyes Movie
I have seen The Hills Have Eyes, both the original and the remake. After watching the original, it made me wonder why anyone would decide to remake it. Not because the movie is so great, but because it isn’t very good. Going into the remake, I didn’t think I …
Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …
