Movies Reviews
Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
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 …

Three
Well, I will admit, that was a pretty good movie. When we decided to watch the film Three, I figured it would be like every other thriller I ever watched, with a few intense moments but a plot that was pretty easy to follow and would be too predictable.
But, …
Gone in Sixty Seconds, movie (1974)
Car chase sequences are an easy way to mix action and drama. To pull them off is difficult and require a team of professionals that can make the impossible possible. Bullitt, The French Connection, and The Italian Job showcased some of the most well-known car chases in …
Guess Who
I must admit that I really enjoy watching Ashton Kutcher’s movies, even though he seem to always present the same type of guy on screen. However the true success of “Guess Who” is entirely to the actor Bernie Mac excellent interpretation of the character Percy Jones.
“Guess who’ is a …
Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)
Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …
Michael Clayton
I can not portray how thoroughly disappointed I was in this movie. I very rarely get my husband to watch anything that is Oscar nominated. After watching this movie it will be a very long time before I get him to watch anything like that again. The plot …
Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …

Barn Yard
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I just did not know what to expect from Otis and the hill surfing to the motorcycle ride back to the farm. I think and fell that each character brought that little extra something that every film needs. The twist and turns …
Movie Joy Ride
I can remember seeing the movie “Joy Ride” on the television guide a couple years ago when I was still in high school. However, I kept hesitating to watch it as at the time I was confusing it with a comedy which was released around the same time that …

The Watchmen
I saw the movie “The Watchmen” recently and I really liked it, however I wouldn’t recommend it to parents with children under age 15.
The movie itself was fantastic, the camerawork was wonderful, the actors were great, and the dialog was witty.
However, I have a borderline large issue with the …
The Tomb (2007)
Starring: Victoria Ullmann (Tara Griffen), Christian Behm (Billy), Gerald Griesbaum (Richard Morris)
It’s a bewildering movie I even watched till the end, and I still don’t understand the story.
Tara and Billy were imprisoned in a dark place called the Witch House; a mysterious voice (mechanically distorted) challenging …
Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
What fascinated me the most was the appearance of Cedric Hardwicke as Dr. Thomas Arnold. At the …
Skyfall Movie
Skyfall is the latest and greatest James Bond 007 film, and while I admit I have never seen a James Bond film before, I absolutely loved Skyfall! It is action-packed, funny, and thrilling, and it had the entire theater at the edge of their seats. I absolutely loved Skyfall, …

Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …

Django Unchained movie

When I was subjected to ad after ad after preview and preview of the movie “Happy Feet,” the scene was always set with music and an adorable penguin tapping his feet. My two-year old daughter want to …
Primeval
There was something missing with this film. I know that it followed lots of formulas about somet kind of big monster lurking in the exotic wilderness of a foreign land. As usual, there is the requisite bunch of diverse “scientists/explorers/writers” (pick one) with the ONE beautiful …
A Valentine Carol (2007 Movie)
In an intriguing spinoff, A Valentine Carol is a Valentine’s Day version of the movie, A Christmas Carol. Of course, in A Valentine’s Carol, the main character must go through different Valentine’s Days in her past and future.

The 40 Year Old Virgin movie

Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
Redbox Rental Service
I love Redbox. It’s a vending machine that dispenses movies, even Blu-rays, with 19 locations within 10 miles of my home. At first DVDs were $1 per movie per night. Now they are $1.20 plus tax. However I think it’s still a great deal. I usually grab a movie …
