Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Ah, yes…those lovable little Ewoks. Those, cute, cuddly little bear-like bundles of joy helped bring a happy ending to this final installment of not only the original trilogy, but chronologically the entire saga of the life and death of Annakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader.
The overall theme of this movie …
Movie: The Outsiders

What I liked about this movie: I love movies that feature a well-known actor or actress before they were famous; mostly because …
My Life in Ruins
Although it is, in my opinion, a chick-flick, “My Life in Ruins” is a great, light-hearted movie, and if you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” then you will be sure to enjoy this movie. The writing and acting will not be recognized at the Oscars next year, but …
The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …

The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant movie
Very bizarre film in which Bruce Dern appear as a crazy scientist who changes people’s heads as an experiment. As a result of this, one of his “objects” turns into a psycho killer and goes on a killing spree the scientist have no way of stopping.
It’s somehow fascinating how …
Strawberry Shortcake DVD
As a parent of a 3-year-old girl, I am often concerned by the lack of quality children’s programming on television today. You can still find a few educational shows or cartoons. But, most of the things on TV, including some shows that advertise themselves as for kids, are a …
The Gravedancers Movie
The Gravedancers was one of the movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest. This is a low budget movie that features some B-list actors that probably wouldn’t have been seen by many people if it weren’t for that festival. Though this movie has a few problems, …
Earth (2007) movie
I had been looking forward to watch this movie ever since I had seen its trailer for the first time. The movie has been promoted as a movie for everyone, because we all belong to the nature and we should love it. This is one of the most shocking …
Sin Nombre movie
I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …
Next Stop, Greenwich Village movie
I absolutely adore movies that take place in the 50’s and 60’s. This movie was made in 1976, but takes place in 1953, so close enough. For some reason, those two decades fascinate me. And the music is so fantastic, I can’t get enough of it! Anyways, onto what …
Father of the Bride
I’ve probably already reviewed this movie a couple of times but this is one of the best wedding movies ever. I always get a little teary eyed when I watch it. Steve Martin is always wonderful to watch. This is the ultimate ‘Dad’ movie. I remember when we saw …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is probably one of the most promoted movies of 2008 and this was supposed to be very funny and so I thought I would see the movie. This movie is made from the same people that made Knocked Up and Freaks and Geeks so I thought …
The Lake House movie
The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …
Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
The Dark Knight
I have seen The Dark Knight, the latest Batman film twice now, and I can honestly say that I ‘know’ the movie.
The Dark Knight is, in my opinion, the best of all the Batman films. It has the most intricate plot, and it has Heath Ledger, who is …
Movie : We Were Soldiers (2002)

Carandiru (R, 2004) movie
It’s amazing how much of a learning tool Netflix has been for me. I rented “Carandiru” without ever hearing about the inmate/police riot that occurred in October of 1992. I know that I wasn’t really up on world events during that time. But knowing …
Death Proof
I loved Pulp Fiction, I loved Kill Bill, and I love grindhouse films. I hate Death Proof. I like what Quentin Tarantino was aiming for while making the movie; capturing all of the classic grindhouse car chase scenes, hot girls, and fighting, but overall, it could have been so …
The Hitcher movie
The Hitcher is about a young man who travels through the american desert and has the bad luck of picking up a psychopathic hitcher. It’s just not any psychopath, but probably the most frightening and calculating ever, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer. Actually, Hauer’s performance is what is most …

Baby Mama
I was a little wary of seeing the movie “Baby Mama.” Its rated PG-13, first of all, and I’ve noticed that most PG-13 movies these days are geared towards the youngsters who are limited to that rating. Second of all, the topic itself… the concept of a hopeful mother …
The Hangover 2 (Movie)
The Hangover 2 is the sequel to the original Hangover and released in the summer of 2011. What I will say right away is that the original Hangover and this release are incredibly similar in many ways and the second film follows many of the patterns of the first …
Murder at 1600
I just watched “Murder at 1600″ in which Wesley Snipes plays Detective Harlan Regis trying to solve the murder of a young secretary in the White House.
This is an action adventure movie.
A janitor is arrested quickly for the murder however, Regis is not sure he is the true …
Drag Me To Hell (Movie)
When this movie came out I really thought it was so low-budget and too corny. I didn’t know the director, I didn’t know the main cast, and I didn’t know what the point of the movie was all about. The trailer didn’t show anything much and the posters were …

Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …
