The Rocketeer
When I was a teenager, i remember seeing the Rocketeer movie advertized. Though I wasn’t into that sort of stuff then, I was more busy trying to rebel from my parents and anything that resembled childhood, I was nonetheless intrigued about this film and wanted to see it. Though …
Time Traveler’s Wife movie
My daughter and I just watched the Time Traveler’s wife on DVD and we both really enjoyed it. It starts out with Henry (Eric Bana), discovering he is a time traveler at the age of six, right after his mother dies. It was some kind of a getetic thing …
Virtuosity movie
The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …

Norbit
Norbit is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Thandie Newton and… Eddie Murphy? That’s right, in this new movie Eddie Murphy plays a kind, nice young man who had a rough life at the Golden Wonton Restaurant and he also plays a crazy, obese lady named Rasputia. The basic …
Love & Death on Long Island
Love & Death on Long Island is a very funny DVD movie that I don’t recommend at all. And when I said funny, it is not that feel-good funny types. Instead, it is more like the worst off funny kind that made my stomach churned while watching. …
The Chronicles of Narnia- Lion, Witch, Wardrobe (PG, 2005)
I avoided the Chronicles of Narnia for a long time because I thought it was one of those really trippy kid flicks that would end up being either really boring or so far-fetched that I’d just grow disinterested. It turns out that this movie really is far fetched. …
Pennsylvania Gun
I am reviewing The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
Erin Brockovich
The movie “Erin Brockovich” came out in 2000 and I rushed out and bought it the moment it became available on DVD. This movie was inspiring to me because she didn’t let anything hold her back. Julia Roberts portrayal of Erin Brockovich was astounding. I have …
Dark Knight
You know, i normally like Batman movies but I’m not sure the film Dark Knight was all it was hyped-up to be.
Like many people said, Heath Ledger does an outstanding job as the joker. There are times he’s so crazy in this film I think the role is being …
American Visa (movie)
As I have mentioned in several of my previous reviews, I like to watch a good foreign film once in a while and when my friends and I were discussing foreign films and she gave me a summary of a film “American Visa”, that she had watched, I became …

The Goonies 1985 Movie

Final Destination 1 movie
This movie doesn’t really make much effort in building on the original, save for making the death sequences even more gruesome than its predecessor.
We open up on a new bunch of protagonists, this time lead by precognitive Kimberly who halts a stream of traffic after having a vision of …
30 Rock Season 2
The second season of 30 Rock was cut short because of the writer’s strike, which is something that I didn’t realize when I first started watching it online through Netflix. Despite the fact that it was missing 5-6 episodes off the regular season length, this was still pretty good. …
Flight of the Phoenix
Hollywood has long been known to produce some great movies. It seems the wheels of the machine have stopped turning of late and all they will produce are remakes. Some, of course, seem light years better than others. Among the few that are destined to be forgotten are Flight …

Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …
Sweet Home Alabama movie
A darling little movie that my family loves to watch (yes, even my husband likes this chick flick) is Sweet Home Alabama. Reese Witherspoon is such a cute actress with such endearing talent, that she is perfect as Melanie. This may be a glorified case of you can take …

I, Robot (starring Will Smith)
I watched I, Robot when it was first released years back and it is something that unexpectedly, this movie is super amazing. I love anything with Will Smith in it and he truly sizzles. Will Smith plays a detective by the name of Del and he is super …
Stranded (2001) Movie
This is a science fiction film about the first manned trip to Mars. Instead of being action as most science fiction movies are, this is a drama. It’s also a survival story, one that’s filmed pretty decently on a low budget. It’s the story of five people stuck on …
Shrek the third
I’ve heard some very mixed emotions about Shrek the Third for weeks before I made up my mind to go and see it myself. It took me this long, mainly because I did not want to be disapointed. See, I am a very big Shrek fan. …

Edward ScissorHands

Lost First Season
I really love watching the season, Lost. I think that it has a lot of educational things and keeps the mind going around thinking what will happen next, and who will be the next victim. This Complete First Season is a very important one for me, as …
Devour movie
Sometimes Hollywood comes up with a unique idea for a film only to have it suck because of poor execution.
The movie Devour falls into this category.
What can I say, the idea of an online video game that causes people to commit murder and then mutilate themselves is definitely something …
Into the Blue,movie
Into the Blue
Sony Pictures
Stars: Jessica Alba and Paul Walker
They need to sink this movie. If you are a guy then the constant butt shots of Jessica Alba are plenteous. This movie had a stupid plot, gave in to the stereotypes about lawyers (greedy sharks), and pretty much had me …
Spanglish
I like Adam Sander movies for the very reason that it’s fun to watch and you’re sure to be entertained. There are some really popular Sandler movies like Click, which is one of my favorite, Anger Management, The Longest Yard and many more. But Spanglish seemed not to be …

Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist movie

The Bourne Ultimatum
I am a big fan of the whole Jason Bourne series. I really liked the 1st two Bourne movies. But wow I was just impressed with this final and 3rd movie The Bourne Ultimatum. The Bourne Ultimatum ties in all the loose ends of the other Bourne movies. I really …

The Wedding Date movie

Film Vanity Fair
One of my favourite types of films are historical films, or films which are set in some time before the twentieth century as I have always liked the subject history. The film does not even have to be one hundred percent historically accurate but I always tend to enjoy …
Gone Girl - Movie (2014)
‘Gone Girl’ (mystery thriller) is a refreshing dose of mystery that doesn’t follow the same path that many mysteries have taken before. It’s a movie that deals with the unexpected and is just as good as the book it was based on (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn). I couldn’t understand …
