The Brat Pack
Some of my favorite actors of all time were from the so-called “Brat Pack” of the ’80s. There is some debate on which actors are actually considered part of the Brat Pack. The undisputed ones are of course Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelsom, Andrea McCarthy, Anthony Michael Hall, …
Sister Kenny movie
Rosalind Russell excels as Sister Kenny, a somewhat controversial Australian nun who came up with a treatment for polio. Based on the true story, this movie tells Elizabeth Kenny’s story of how she came upon a child with polio and began to treat her. It was the …
The movie A Shark’s Tale
A Shark’s Tale is one of those movies that looks like it might be okay, but the thought of paying movie theater prices to see it scares the crap out of you. I had this problem on the one hand it had a really great cast. Even Robert De …
The Perfect Man movie
“The Perfect Man” represents the perfect cast for the perfect romantic movie. The main actors in this movie, Hilary Duff, Heather Locklear and Chris Noth are totally great in this romantic comedy about two people who have never meet but were made for each other. This is definitely one …
Blind Fury (1990)
This movie is about a war veteran who was blinded in the line of duty by a grenade blast that went off directly in front of him. He is taught by the locals to use his blindness to his advantage and they also taught him how to use the …
I am Legend
I Am Legend with Will Smith.
This science fiction genre film is based upon the 1954 book by the same title in which some mysterious disease turns people into Vampires. This version is vastly different, yet the theme of loneliness and the daily decision about whether …
XXY (2008)
XXY is a real shocker. You know from the start that there is something not right going on, some dark secret surrounding Alex, the 15 year old daughter of a couple living on a remote stretch of the coast of Uruguay. Is Alex a child murderer, a witch? Is …
The Avengers movie
In a somehow original yet cliche kind of way, The Avengers is one of the best movies of the year and easily the most entertaining. However this action thriller does not come out perfectly, a lot of small flaws make this only a good action movie and not a …
Sydney White movie
I admit I really love watching Amanda Bynes movies. “Sydney White” together with “What a Girl Wants” is simply my favourite. I like the work of this actress so much because she seems to be the Molly Rigward of our time.
In his film we see Amanda Bynes as Sydney …
Employee of the month
This was a great movie for me. I used to work in retail. Most movies are based out of big city office complexes, and most of the average people working in shopping centers, restaurants, or some other ordinary job. So I really related to this movie. However the …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
I have seen some bad movies in my day, but good lord does this one take the cake. I know, it’s kind of popular to hate on Michael Bay, but he can, more often than not, deliver an entertaining popcorn flick. Heck, I enjoyed the first Transformers …
Eve’s Hot Pepper Sauce
I love pepper, sometimes I think I love pepper a little too much, as I use it in and on everything. Have you ever glanced at the ingredients on the label to see what they use to give you the sauce? Well, if you haven’t, take a look…for Eve’s …
“Men who hate women” movie
Adaptation of Swedish bestseller “Men who hate women” is not broke novel, however, deserves appreciation. The film was recorded in a typical Scandinavian type of cinema - a cool and stiff. Very different from Hollywood, to which we are accustomed. The actors are playing, and do not just look …
Oliver Twist,1948 movie
David Lean’s version of Oliver Twist, filmed in 1948, is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the beloved Dickens novel. Dark and depressing, the movie well captures the misery of a poor orphaned child, raised by people who don’t care for him, starved and abused. The casting and …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey has always been a very cool and talented actor. And I remember after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I feel that this is something like the effect of having a too much technical jargon of a life.
I wouldn’t ever trade my previous memories …
Noel
I must say that I am confused when I watched Noel, the DVD movie. Luckily, I caught this on DVD instead of going to the movies for it. Starring Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and some other casts, this movie is about miracles and that …
Little Women
Little Women on DVD is not quite the same experience as reading the classic story. I love both versions though. The novel started in 1869, and there are just so much characters to view and enjoy with. The story revolves around a mother and 4 of …
The Reader movie
The reader is an Oscar winning movie. It released a bit late in my country and when it was released, I decided to see it on the very first day itself.
This film is unique in terms of showing the side of a German who was directly involved in the …
Nanny Mcphee
Nanny Mcphee is a bit boring film with some unconvincing scenes which no logic. Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee in the movie and she has some magical powers which is not really convincing. Cedric Brown played by Colin Firth ia a widower and has seven children who are extremely …
Summer of Sam movie
Usually, even if it is poorly made, a movie about a serial killer will have at least a couple of redeeming qualities to it.
When it comes to the movie Summer of Sam, this is definitely not the case.
The movie might have been good if they focused on the actual …
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Movie 2011)
Okay, so I just watched this movie a few days ago and to tell you guys frankly I never hesitated, not one bit, about watching this movie. I have seen the trilogy and I know that this one “might” just be as good as its predecessors!
Basically, the plot is …
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous is the sequel to the critically and commercially successful movie, Miss Congeniality, starring Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock played the lead role in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous as well but the movie fails to impress the viewers who have expectations from the …
Honey movie starred by Jessica Alba
I recently watched this movie on a DVD player at home. In my opinion I think the movie is quite sexy especially on that part where Jessica Alba was seen dancing on the disco floor in which she was secretly taken a video by some teenage guys while …
Old School movie
Old School. What a great phrase. Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson, better known as the Frat Pack, have made yet another hilarious film. After Wilson’s character finds out that he is being evicted from his new house, the boys decide to start a fraternity in order to …
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Have you ever watched a movie that for the life of you you just can’t manage to sit through the whole thing, for every time it comes and you decide your mind that this time you are going to make the effort to sit down and watch it right …
Sleeping Beauty Disney 2-Disc DVD
Recently, Disney released their classic “Sleeping Beauty” on DVD. It’s a 2-disc version, with some great fun bonus features, and (of course) the movie.
When I was a kid, this was one of the few movies that actually managed to thrill me, and yet scare me in at least …
Shinobi
Amazing culture and imagination always represented Japan.This movie is one reason why.With only a fraction of the budged of all-day American high-rated movie,Shinobi turned out a great story to watch.It is happening in the XVI century,where two mysterious rival clans of a breed of fighters called Shinobi are put …
Daddy’s Little Girls
I’m still warming up to Tyler Perry’s style of writing, producing, whatever you want to call it. My cousin from England recently visited my part of the world and brought me the Daddy’s Little Girls dvd no bootleg, the real thing.we are principled like that!!! …
Inspector Gadget movie
Inspector gadget is complete gizmo movie with unrealistic and unimaginable twisys and turns. Though the movie is completely unrealistic it has some good performances by Matthew Broderick both as the gadget inspector and evil robot and by Rupert Everett. The movie starts with the female lead Brenda and …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I Movie
I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books, and that is why I always look forward to the movies as well. Although I definitely like all the books better than the movies as there are a lot of details that the movies miss, I really do …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I normally like murder mysteries, especially ones that don’t review who the killer is until the very end. However, in the case of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I was very disappointed.
The movie centers around Robert Downey Jr who plays an actor who impersonates a private eye and Val Kilmer, …
Due South: Diefenbaker’s Day Off
Diefenbaker’s Day Off is the next regular episode of the first season of Due South, and it’s pretty funny. Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser tells his wolf, Diefenbaker, that he needs a license, but he’s having trouble getting one. It could be because Dief, as he’s commonly called, …
Spawn Movie (1997)
Michael Jai White stars as the back from the dead, coming to take over the world, charred demon “Spawn”. His sole task is to lead a dark army to earth and wreak complete havoc on all life as we know it, bringing about the end of the world (where …
Are You Here (2013 Film)
Are You Here, is a comedy movie I had the opportunity to view one evening. I hadn’t heard much about the film, until browsing the internet movie data base. I was curious about the movie after viewing the cast list of actors who started in the movie. Normally, I …
Spiderman-3
Recently I had been to watch the movie Spiderman part 3 that is marvellous. Wow the fight seens and, the costume is very good. I liked the movie a lot. I never miss the spider man movies. I have seen all the parts of …

The plot, while …
Did You Hear About the Morgans? (Movie)
Hugh Grant is one of my favourite actors of all time, so I was looking forward to his latest movie, Did You Hear About the Morgan’s? to come out in DVD. I had heard lots of rather negative reviews about it, so I wasn’t expecting anything more than his …
Jack Black
OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
The problem I have is he�s one dimensional. He can�t do drama or action. It has to be comedy. Even when he tries to be serious, you can�t help but think …
Bruce Almighty Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey was brilliantly funny in this movie. He has always been one of my favorite actors and this movie just sealed it. It kind of made me think not to ever question God’s authority again. Jim Carrey plays a guy who is fed up with always being the …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23 begins with Conrad preparing for Juliet’s coronation, meanwhile Juliet heads to the Escalus tree to sacrifice herself to keep Neo Verona from falling apart and Tybalt tells Romeo of Juliet’s intentions and he goes to stop her.
This was a beautiful episode, that’s the only way I …
Princess Mononoke
An animated film by famous japanese director Hayao Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli. It is the story of a young woman named Mononoke who was raised by wild animals in the woods. This is not a realistic film, more of a fairytale with lots of supernatural things taking place. …
House of Wax 2005
I watched this movie back when it was releasing in 2005 my friends was telling me how it was going to be terrible and Paris Hilton being in it was absolutely going to ruin it. However, one night out we were bored out of our minds so we …

If you believe is a movie about a woman named Suzie who has forgotten who she was. It shows her as a seven year old having fun and being care free, outspoken and mischievous. Then it shows her as an editor who has no friends or life. She is …
A Walk To Remember
When my friends and I talked about the movie A Walk To Remember each time, we would always remember the truly sad ending to this story. I am a hopeless romantic and I find myself knowing what’s going to be the ending to this really sad and romantic movie …
10,000 B.C.
I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …
Three Amigos (1986)

Why You Were Sleeping
Oh how I love Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman in this movie ! I love how it shows her being miserable and alone and how she has the not so glamorous job as a ticket taker for the subway in new york. It’s such a pitiful job and I …
