The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
Avengers: Age of Ultron (Superhero Film)
Marvel, Marvel, Marvel. The only time a Marvel movie turned out right was when the first Avengers movie came out and even then- way too much action. Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of those movies where the visuals draw you in but the story spits you out. If you …

Hannibal, directed by Ridley Scott is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong gruesome violence, some nudity and language. The original release date was February 9, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Thriller and stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as …
Movie: The Family Stone
I recently watched The Family Stone on DVD with my fiance. I was hoping it would be slightly funny and pleasant to watch, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
With an all-star cast including Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, and Diann Keaton, this movie …
Dead Like Me: Rest in Peace
Dead Like Me: Rest in Peace is the final show of the first season of this episode. It really can be summed up with George getting her job back. Actually, there’s a big scene at George’s grave. It’s the anniversary of her death. It’s like …

Bridge To Terabithia
Based on Katherine Paterson’s classic novel, this is the story of Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a boy who’s something of an outcast at school and at home (he is the only boy among four sisters). When a new girl moves in across the road, it’s initially bad news for …
What Would Jesus Buy
The most pervasive sin in our society isn’t lust, far from it in fact which is why it’s so easy for us to see, but far more dangerous to our society are greed and gluttony, and driving to that point in a humorous and profound way is What Would …
Beetlejuice movie
Beetlejuice is one hysterical movie. I love watching it whenever I can. Starring Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the Maitlands, the movie is about a married couple who get killed in a car crash but live on as ghosts of a sort in their home. …
Sweet Home Alabama comedy
Sweet Home Alabama is a nice romantic comedy. The movie has Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, and Patrick Dempsey playing the main roles. All three of them managed to give impressive performances and this makes this movie worth watching. Jake and Melanie are two childhood friends from Alabama and are …
Center Stage 2: Turn It Up Movie
Having watched Center Stage 1 the movie, I was also eager to watch this as it was shown on HBO back-to-back, for 4 hours I had watched 2 Center Stage movies and I had liked them both. I honestly liked the first movie better and I already was expecting …
The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
Buried Movie (2010)
Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …

The Cabin in The Woods Movie
I personally am a sucker for horror movies and usually even before I reach halfway through the movie, I sort of already figured out how things will turn out because quite frankly, every movie that involves a bunch of teenagers who go on vacation in a remote house in …
Striking Distance (1993)
Striking Distance, directed by Rowdy Herrington is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was September 17, 1993 for United States audience.

Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
The Omen (2006)
A modern remake of a classic horror where it tells the story of a boy who bears the mark of the devil and who has come to claim the world as his own once he comes of age. For ages the coming was foretold and no one could stop …

Final Destination Movie
“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.
The movie is about a …
The Contract movie
This movie was very interesting and exciting. It was a little bit long though but it kept me interested in it. It started off very nicely and went straight into the movie. It was towards the middle and end that I felt it dragged on a little bit. It …
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Movie
After some time that I have delayed it I finally managed to find time and go watch the beginning of the new epic trilogy by Peter Jackson, this time based on “The Hobbit” - the first book written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Before I move forward , I would like …

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone movie
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is one of the series of J.K. Rowling’s 7 series of Harry Potter Saga. Each and every one of them is the world’s best movie ever. I love The Philosopher’s Stone and all of her other movie. You can’t deny that it’s great …

Evolution Movie
Science Fiction comedy in the same category as Ghostbusters for example. A meteorite hits the earth and brings with it a strange new form of life that threatens to take over the planet, or does it?
There’s not much to say about this. If you liked Ghostbusters, Men in Black …
Movie Secrets of the summer house
I watched this on Lifetime Movie Network a few weeks ago. I was surprised at how good it was. I didn’t expect for it to be that good but it was. I kept seeing it previewed on lifetime so I finally watched it one day when I caught it …
The Revenant (2015 Historical Drama Movie)
I hesitated in watching it for some time but after a while I realised that I was hearing nothing but gushing reviews about the movie “The Revenant”. When I realised that it was even nominated for several prestigious awards I decided to take the chance and watch it myself. While …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …
No Good Deed (2014 Thriller Movie)
While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …
Third Harry Potter Movie
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was very impatient for this movie, especially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book. I had heard there would be a new director so I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations. It …
The Disappearance of Flight 412 movie
I remember watching The Disappearance of Flight 412 when it came on TV for the first time in 1974. I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. I’m not necessarily talking about the UFO bit, well, yes, I am.
The truth is that I’m not arrogant enough to believe …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …

Hairspray (2007)
Popular Casts : John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christophe Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah and Zac Efron.
First time I read the casts, I feel so afraid that I will be disappointed, because as my personal experience, movie with too many great actors and actresses always become a disaster …
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 …
Movie: The Help (2011)
My family watches a lot of movies, we have cable television and borrow movies from the library. One of the best movies I have seen so far is “The Help,” a movie adapted from the book by Kathryn Stockett. It is a factual and accurate account of life for …
Wet 2 Straight Remington Hot Iron
My hair is unfortunately very untamable at times. That is, until I was given a hot iron by my sister that has worked wonderfully on my hair without causing any damage or dryness. The Wet 2 Straight hot iron from Remington is a product that any boy or girl …
The Crow Movie
One of the best movies ever made was “The Crow”. The story line is great and the characters are believable.
Eric Draven and his bride to be, Shelly, are brutally murdered on Halloween. On the one year anniversary of their death, Eric rises from the dead with a …
The Patriot (movie)
Just week we heard the sad news that Heath Ledger passed away, it reminded me of one of the movies that he had starred in with Mel Gibson called the Patriot.
We pulled the Patriot out of our collection and re-watched it last night. The story is set …

Magic Mike film
A few of my friends had seen the movie “Magic Mike” and raved about how good it was. I didn’t really think it would be my kind of movie, so I didn’t watch it when it first came out. A few nights ago, however, I had nothing …
Ex Drummer (comedy movie)
While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …
A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
