I don’t know whether to label this story, Maid In Manhattan as being realistic or not because it is very much rare that a rich man would fall in love with someone of a lower status than him, though it’s not impossible. And a maid at that. But …

Addicted To Love movie
“Addicted to Love” is all about the actors, Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick going wild with revenge. Although this is a romantic comedy, Ryan chose to interpret a different character then the usual ‘nice girl from next door’.

Blood Diamonds

Legally Blonde movie
Legally Blonde is a girly type of movie. This movie stars Reese Witherspoon as the determined law student who faces politicians and the law concerning animal cruelty. I thought that I would like this movie when I first saw the previews but once I rented it and watched it …
Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …

The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power, Movie
I missed the second Scorpion King movie and I have no idea how I came to watch the third - but suffice to say I didn’t go into this film with my expectations held high. The only reason I decided to give this a go was because I’d seen that …
The New Daughter movie
I saw this movie starring Kevin Costner. Based on IMDB, the movie is a thriller, with 5.4 rating. So I decided to see it, probably give it a chance, since I have great respect for the actor who stars in it.
Okay so this was the typical I-got-divorced-and-now-I-moving-to-another-house story. Kevin …
Religulous documentary
This is an excellent documentary - not only is it a must see but it is a must buy for your video library. I would warn though, for people who are religious - a lot of content may be viewed as offensive. In the documentary Bill Maher …
Film “Sex and the City 2″

Snakes on a Plane (movie)
I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …

Even if you’ve never the Warriors, I’m sure you remember this line. “Warriors, come out and play.” Right? WIth the guy clinking the bottles together. I love it! It’s based in a near future new york where gangs have taken over. Though based in the future, it’s not quite …
Toy Story 2
Very few sequels live up to there predecessors. Toy Story 2 had a big job on its hands living up to Toy Story which was a movie I cherished. So, how did it stack up? On par in my opinion. Just as good as the …
Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …

Saw V
Look, I’ll be willing to admit the movie Saw and it’s sequel, Saw II were much better than I expected them to be and would recommend them to anyone. But, after a while, you can have only so many sequels before a franchise gets beaten to death. Unfortunately for …

Fahrenheit 451 Movie
“Fahrenheit 451″ filmed in 1966 and directed by François Truffaut is one bad, boring movie. I am really sorry to say this, but it is. I had read Ray Bradbury’s book titled “Fahrenheit 451″ and I remember enjoying it, so when I saw the movie at our library I …

Bad Teacher 2011 Movie
I just saw the movie Bad Teacher. In IMDB it only had 5.9 stars, so I wasn’t looking forward to really watching it because of the not-so-good reviews. It stars Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, with her co-star Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. Bad Teacher is …
Persona movie
Regarded by many as Ingmar Bergman’s best film and also one of the best “art” films ever made. It is a complex film about dimensions, simply put, where two women is the center of Bergman’s focus. Liv Ullman and Bibi Andersson portrait two very different women, one of them …
Hitman

The Royal Tenenbaums (comedy drama movie)
Throughout the years I’ve heard about the movie “The Royal Tenenbaums” but I never actually had a chance to watch it until recently. I figured it would have been one of those films that was severely overrated by a lot of people, but it turns out that even though I …
Teacher’s Pet movie
In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …

The best way to describe “Point Break” is two great young acting talents, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze team up in a movie in opposite roles with a lot of action, nail beating moments and great scenography. Apart from having a great story, the interesting aspect about this movie …
Shiver (NR, 2008) film
