Casino Royale
I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …

Disaster Movie
Disaster Movie almost turned out to be a disaster for me. My husband and I rented it the other night. I usually don’t really like spoof movies because I think they are dumb and a waist of time but my husband wanted to see it so I gave in. …

Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
The Wave movie
A corny film usually screened in schools about a teacher on a high school trying to figure out an effective way of making his students understand what it was like living in Germany during World War II and how easily people are corrupted into things they don’t really want …

Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …
A Season for Miracles movie
A Season for Miracles is a very sweet film from 1999. It was actually one of the holiday classics done yearly by Hallmark movie, so right there you know that it is a quality production. One of the main reasons I tuned in back then was to …
The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue
From 1996, The Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue was a nice little holiday film that portrays itself to be based on a story about Bernice Feagan. I was curious and did some research. It seems that Bernice didn’t even know this movie was made until it was done. …
“The score” movie
As always fantastic Robert De Niro and Edward Norton characteristic invite us to watch the gripping game between two experienced thieves. Which one gets the goods on forever providing a prosperous life?
Of course, I must admit that movies with similar plot is really a lot. Despite this, “game” remains …
Rush Hour 3
Very forgettable movie. Does not compare to Rush Hour 1 and 2. The jokes were old and used from Rush Hour one and Two. I thought the main characters Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were shadows of their former selves. Chris Tucker looked like he gained 80 pounds. Jackie Chan’s …
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
This movie was, in a word, charming. I went to this movie with a couple of my friends and I think they enjoyed it too. I haven’t seen any other movies with these actors, but I think I would. The movie was light despite the melancholy setting (right at …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
One of the most classic motion picture musicals is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a 1953 release that stars the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe. The blonde was the sensation of her day, and this movie is the equivalent to her theme song. Of course, it contains the song that is …

Movie: Dolls
Since yesterday was Halloween, my wife and I spent part of the afternoon watching scary movies. One of the movies we ended up watching was one I haven’t seen in a long time called Dolls. I didn’t remember much about it, other than, when I was younger, it scared …
High Road to China movie
A pilot is convinced by a young girl to go and search for her disappeared father in Asia. This is one of those films I loved in my childhood and decided to rewatch as an adult, and I have to say this is probably the one that made my …
The Invisible Man movie
This James Whale horror story, that came out between the Frankenstein movies, is my favorite of his work. Chilling story filled with suspense and remarkable effects and terribly good acting - especially from Claude Rains as the invisible man - makes this a landmark in early horror cinema. The …
A Is for Acid,2002 movie
This movie is based on a true story of John George Haig, a 1940s serial killer also known as the Acid Bath Murderer. When Haig had discovered that a human body can be completely dissolved in acid, he figured that he’d come up with a foolproof way to get …

Dancer in the Dark (2000)
This movie rocks my world everytime I warch it. Rocks my world, meaning that it plays with my feelings so easily, this movie absorbs me completely. It’s about pure emotion and empathy, presented in the most heartfelt way ever: a mother’s love for her son. The story is set …
The Secret War of Harry Frigg film
This is another Paul Newman film, and it’s probably my favorite of his. It’s called The Secret War of Harry Frigg, and it’s a World War II war comedy. Newman is Harry Frigg, a man who is always in trouble with the Army and though he gets …
A Guy Thing
“A Guy Thing” is definitely the movie that made the actor, Jason Lee be noticed to the general public. I personally watched him act in another movie “Kissing a Fool” and he was great, however I prefer best his interpretation of Paul Morse in the hilarious comedy “A Guy …
The Departed (2006)
The Departed hosts an all star cast of Hollywood’s best and most famous actors. Showcasing the corruption that has turned a police department completely upside down. If you have not watched this amazing movie before, trust me when I tell you, that you will not be disappointed! Suspense galore …

Pirates of the Carribean : At worlds end
I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.
The movie opens with Elizabeth Swann ( Kierra Knightly) and Will Turner ( Orlando Bloom) must rescue Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones Locker.
This is successful when they go …
Friday the 13th
The first Friday the 13th movie is the one that few people remember. They forget that Kevin Bacon appeared in the movie, and they forget that Jason Vorhees was merely an afterthought. Most people completely forget that it was actually his mother who was the first killer.
Watching this movie …
Twilight Movie
“Twilight” is a movie adapted from a famous novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer. I was recommended this movie by my sister and so I rented it’s DVD from a local DVD store to watch it on Sunday. I did not have high expectations from the movie.
Twilight is a romantic …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie

The Hunters (Movie)
was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
Titanic
This must have been a good movie because it evoked so many emotions from me. The setting and the characterizations were incredible. Leonardo is as always beautiful in it. The thing I hated was when she was on the door or whatever at the end and she says ‘I’ll …
The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)
The Santa Clause was a great film that I loved as a child and as an adult. And the sequal to this family friendly film titled, “The Santa Clause 2” which came out in 2002 was also just as mesmerizing. In this film, we watch as Santa Clause (Scott …
Artic Tale (2007)
This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …
Walt Disney Presents: Beyond Witch Mountain movie

Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …
All Night Long movie
The comedy All Night Long has a couple of big surprises in it — Gene Hackman and Barbra Streisand. Hackman really wasn’t known for comedy but yet this movie was written for him based on his cameo in Young Frankenstein. Streisand wasn’t initially attached to this project, …
With Six You Get Eggroll
Doris Day’s final theatrical film was one her late husband had obligated her to do, entitled With Six You Get Eggroll. It’s a movie that is reminiscent of Yours, Mine, and Ours that starred Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. To me, this was a smaller scale version …

License to Wed
For a while, comedian Robin Williams pretty much just slipped off the face of the Earth. Whenever he did have a good movie, it was more of a drama than an actual comedy. But, recently, he seems to have found himself again. First, there was RV, which turned out …
Away From Her
I am really in tears watching this movie. The tears meant that the movie works perfectly well for me. This movie is something that youngsters will not fancy, since it features the older generations. But, it tells me that one day I am going to be …
P.S I Love You
I recently went and saw the movie P.S I Love You. It turned out a lot better than I’d thought. I was at first hesitant to see it becaue it did not have good reviews with the critics. However, I turned out to be pleasantly surprised. It was definitely …
Lakeview Terrace movie
The movie Lakeview Terrace was an all around great movie. The idea of an African American police officer being against an interracial couple is a very unusual idea, but it is possible which makes the movie very believable. Samuel L. Jackson hit another home run with this edge of …
Shrek3 Shrek the Third
I loved the first two Shrek movies, this third one was such a dissappointment to me. I mean I really thought I’d enjoy it. Usually the first movies is good, then the sequel bombs, and everything else follows.. but in this case Shrek 1 & 2 were …
Pitch Perfect 2 (musical comedy movie)
After enjoying the prequel “Pitch Perfect”, I found that I was interested in watching the sequel “Pitch Perfect 2″. I imagined that it would be just as funny and entertaining as the first even though I know that a lot of sequels tend to flop.
Well, after I watched it I …
