The Butterfly’s Effect is a fast pacing thriller with elements of fantasy or science-fiction (the idea of alternate worlds). It is often compared to mind blowing movies like Memento or Harry Angel but in fact that is a little too far fetched a comparison. First of all, Ashton Kutcher …

The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …

There’s something I don’t understand about this movie. Not with the story and plot but on how the character has of the young scientist Sebastian Caine (played by Kevin Bacon) has changed from a nice guy in the beginning of the movie into a cold blooded killer of …

This picture, Love Me or Leave Me, is one of Doris Day’s most dramatic roles, and she soars in it. It’s a bit of a dark picture as the movie attempts to tell an account of singer Ruth Etting’s life. Etting was quite successful but also dealt …

“In her Shoes” is a film based on family misunderstandings and loyalty. What I particularly liked about this movie is the actress, Shirley MacLaine role as the grandmother, Ella Hirsch. It is no wonder that she has been nominated for the golden globe for her supporting role in this …

Before I rented “Valkyrie” last night, I decided that it might be good, despite my dislike of Tom Cruise, because it has two things going for it that I like: it is based on a true story, and it is set during WW2, and I am a big fan …

My fiance and I just got back from this movie. It was awful. Do not waste your time! The action scenes were dull, what ones there were. Annette Benning, I believe that’s her name, only has like two minutes in the film, which is disappointing because she’s such a …

I’d always wanted to see the horror film The Kindred. It was primarily because I’d seen the ad for it in the newspaper when I was a little girl. I thought it looked properly creepy. It said something about someone having a brother they didn’t know about, and it …

We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …

I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …

Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …

I just went to see this movie in theaters last Saturday. First, let me tell you what I was expecting. When you watch the first movie that came out in the 80s, you now see a corny movie that is not at all scary. I was expecting this remake …

In the movie “Catch and Release” we see the actress, Jennifer Garner with a sad face most of the time, but believe me this movie is by far not boring. One can describe best “Catch and Release” as a romantic movie about relationships and trust ideal for both women …

Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …

“Candyman” was one of those horror movies that I remember watching back when I was still very young. I was actually too young to be watching something like that, and as a result I remember being frightened for a very long time. When I was much older though, and …

A music documentary about the private lives of the members of Sonic Youth and partly Nirvana during their tour in 1991. I would consider it a fans-only kind of film, but as I used to be a big fan of both these bands I found it very interesting. To …

(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …

The old saying, “They don’t make them like they used to” was just proven false. I just saw La La Land and it upholds the quality of the golden age of movies. Movies when they were art. Movies when they took effort and talent and time. Not the modern mindless …

The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …

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 …

I’m not really a big fan of Will Smith but I must admit he gives the performance of his career in this movie (even better than his portrayal of Ali). He was worthy of the Oscar nomination he received. I was in tears for most of the film. Directed …

We went to see the first of the holiday movies of the season on Sunday. We saw the movie Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn playing Fred, St Nick’s older brother. Sanat is played very well by Paul Giamatti who acutually does everything absouletely perfectly, after all he is …

I just saw the movie the Hangover 2. It is the sequel to the first movie, The Hangover, which stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. Essentially this movie is about a Bachelor’s party in Thailand gone wrong. As with the last Hangover movie, this time, the …

No offense to F. Scott Fitzgerald, but The Great Gatsby bored me as a book, and it left me cold as a movie, too. I just never got into it. The only reason I went to see the film was because Robert Redford starred as Jay Gatsby. …

I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …
