Signs (movie)
The director of this movie, M. Night Shyamalan, first gained critical acclaim with his psychological thriller with The Sixth Sense. While I agree that was a very good movie, I believe Signs to be the stronger of the two. This movie would probably go on my top …

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …

Chicken Run cartoon
Chicken run is an animated cartoon movie about a group of chickens who try to escape from a chicken farm. I thought this movie was actually pretty good. I thought I wouldn’t like it as it was an animated cartoon but once I watch it I realized it was …
Movie Emma
This movie is as charming as funny as it is romantic, and it is another film based off of one of Jane Austen’s works. The colors are lovely, and the characters all are just as I would have imagined them after reading the book. It is very accurate, and …
Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …

The LEGO Movie (2014)
When my kids first heard about the LEGO Movie it was all they would talk about for weeks. I have to admit that even though I tried to act cool about it, I was pretty excited too. This movie had an all-star cast with everyone from Morgan Freeman to …
Veggie Tales:God Made You Special
I absolutely love getting Veggie Tale movies for my daughter; both because they are entertaining and because I know she is getting something that will teach her things that will help her be a better person as she gets older.
The movie God Made You Special is a good example …
Annabelle (2014 Film)
I was prompted to watch Annabelle, after watching the conjuring and seeing the brief glimpses of the character in the movie, I was instantly interested.
When going in to watch this movie, I already had my ideas and expectations pretty much set. As with any horror movie, I was going in …
Sentinal movie
Last night, I watched Sentinal with Keiffer Sutherland and Michael Douglas. Although the movie did not get great reviews, I really liked it. It was action-packed, steamy, mysterious, and it kept me from falling asleep, that’s for sure! I thought that Michael Douglas did a fabulous job …
A River Runs Through It (1992)
A dramatic movie in every sense of the word drama, this movie tells the story of two brothers who continuously live their lives in the shadow for the minister father, even though they have matured and move on with their lives, it is the grounded principles that last and …
Doomsday
10,000BC is currently where I draw the line for horrible contemporary cinema and while the quality of Doomsday doesn’t fall quite so far, it’s perhaps in a similar ballpark. Personally I hate both parks and balls but I use this analogy with the intention of making it clear …
The Golden Compass movie
I watched this today with my younger sister. I was surprised at how interested I was in the movie. Most of the time when I watch movies with her I just do it to relax and I sometimes pay real attention to the movies but other times I just …
Life in the Artic Zone documentary
My youngest son is a big fan of non-fictional films; as a result, I get “suckered” into watching them with him.
“Life in the Artic Zone” is a narrative documentary that covers the Artic region of Northern Canada. You get to spend on hour watching life as it happens in …
Movie License to Wed
Although some may label this movie as a Mandy Moore movie; in reality this comedy is all about the actor, Robin Williams. I personally have a soft spot for Robin Williams because he is simply great in whatever he interprets. In this movie, we see him to interpret the …
Delightfully Dangerous movie
Delightfully Dangerous from 1945 starred a teenaged Jane Powell as Sherry Williams. This is actually the first time I’ve seen her as a teenager and a brunette to boot. I enjoyed her performance, though. She was gay and pretty and gullible, as many girls of the …

This movie is based on a horror / ghost story by Henry James. A young governess is hired to take care of two children, a boy and a girl. The number 1 condition their uncle has hired her on is to never contact him about the children - never. …
Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore
This documentary is characteristic of all of Michael Moore’s films-it is done in a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek style. If you like his movies, then you will love this one, because his style and subject matter are up to his usual standards. For me, he always manages to make me think …
The New World, Terrence Malick Movie
Virginia, in 1607, when the British troops recently entered new territory. Led by Captain Christopher Newport, the team began to explore this area. Captain John Smith, which will be executed because of actions, in fact, asked to investigate the area. The original members of the British interact well with …
Widow’s Peak (movie)
I enjoyed this movie very much, not just because it stars the luscious Natasha Richardson, but because the dynamic between Richardson’s character and the character played by Mia Farrow is a delightful tongue-in-cheek account of Anglo-Irish relations that appeals to both my English and Irish ancestors. Their rivalry …
The Notebook movie
At Valentine day, many television station play some romanyic movie, like this movie, the notebook. I saw it last night, though I have ever seen it, I wanna see it again because this movie is so romantic, touch, and can make me cry.

Wicker Park movie
Wicker Park is a very good remake of a French movie that was extremely successful. But as we already know that Americans can not help until they have a copy which does not upset us, and it would be wise to enjoy this movie romantic, exciting and …
Boyhood (drama movie)
I only found out about the movie Boyhood after seeing the actress Patricia Arquette nominated and win awards for her role in it. Therefore, I was curious to see what the movie was about and her performance was like. After watching it though I had to admit that while I …
Friday the 13th Part 5
I think one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when you have a gorgeous blonde who is trying to hook up with a goofy, balding man. Every time I see the movie, I start laughing. I realize that it is supposed to be a small town, but …
Shutter 2008 Remake
This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
A Troll in Central Park
The first time I heard of the animated movie “A Troll in Central Park” was some time after it was released in the nineteen nineties. I was not a child any more at the time so I did not have much interest in it and I thoguht it was …

Great Expectations movie
When I saw the movie “Great Expectations” on the cable guide a couple years ago, I was more expecting a film based on the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations” and not a loosely based modern day spinoff from it. In fact, since I had not seen it from the …
The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
The movie, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle is one of the first few movies when I watched during my early teenage years and I caught the movie on TV actually when it was aired. It made me realize how a psychopath could come in various forms, even in …

Movie Jumper
There are many reviews that are needed for movies and I really love and watch many movies with latest release. So, about movies reviews there is nothing better to ask me.
As I watched recently the movie Jumper it is really a great movie and has alot of beautiful scenes. …
Hacksaw Ridge (2016 Biographical War Drama Film)
I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …

The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
A Beginners Guide to Endings movie
I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …
The Red Violin movie (1998)

Django Unchained movie
I recently went to the cinema to see Django Unchained - having already seen the trailer, I was quite fascinated by it.

The Gift (2015 Psychological Thriller Movie)
Initially, the trailer for the 2015 movie “The Gift” was not as stimulating to me as it was for some people. I found it hard to understand why people were so interested in a movie that looked like it was going to be a cliche stalker film. My interpretation of …
Erin Brockovich Movie
I am a true movie fanatic and although I can’t say that I absolutely loved this film, I did really enjoy watching it. It’s staring Julia Roberts who is one of my favorite actresses, and is based on a true story which is something else that makes this …
