This movie is considered a “fashion” movie that’s best applicable for young ladies and women who dreams of making it to a very glam city with a good-paying job, a fantasic career, an even-better boyfriend, and a set of girlfriends to share it all with. Unfortunately, this isn’t the …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Mulholland Falls
OK, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge Nick Nolte fan but I just can’t seem to get the movie Mulholland Falls. When it first came out, it looked entertaining. I like thrillers that make me think and thought this film would fit that category. And, having some A-list …

Ghost Rider Movie
Ghost Rider is one of my favorite comic book movies of all time. I never read the comics, so I don’t know if it follows those very well or not, but I still like it. The movie has just the right amount of action and humor, mixed with only …
Swordfish movie
Though this movie can be considered a highly complicated film because of its astounding special effects and nerve-wracking code-breaking features, its groundwork is very simple: deception.
On the outset of the story, a monologue from the antagonist tackles how powerful media had been, how it has influenced people’s belief, and …

Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead

ShowPlace 16 movie theater Naperville IL
ShowPlace 16 movie theater, located at 2815 Showplace Dr., Naperville, IL, is always a pleasure to go to. It is a large, fancy theater with comfortable soft chairs set like in an amphitheater, which gives a much better view. Even on a busy night with some big hit movie …
Boogeyman 2 Movie
Boogeyman 2 isn’t the kind of movie that you absolutely love or absolutely hate; it’s more the kind of movie that leaves everyone feeling like it was only okay or so-so. That was how I felt after watching it anyway. I originally saw the preview for the movie while …
Irreconcilable Differences
Irreconcilable Differences with Ryan O’Neal, Shelley Long, Sharon Stone, and Drew Barrymore.
I had heard so much about this movie’s quality that I longed to see it for the first time. It will be the last time. The movie is the enactment of the recollections …
Film The Collector (1965)
William Wyler’s The Collector, filmed in 1965, is possibly one of the most disturbing films ever made. It is a suspense film and a character study and one of the bleakest at that, as well.
Freddie (Terrence Stamp) is a lonely man who likes to collect butterflies. Having, …

The Forgotten movie
The Forgotten was an alright movie. I remember watching this movie. I didn’t think it was the best movie ever, but it was still cool. I liked the story a little. I think that the whole alien abduction thing was pretty cool and I must say that I did enjoy …
Curse of Frankenstein
I have seen almost every Frankenstein movie ever made and have to say, after seeing Curse of Frankenstein, I’m convinced Christopher Lee is the best at playing the classic literary monster (sorry Boris Karloff).
Made in the 1950s, The Curse of Frankenstein actually focuses more on Victor Frankenstein (played by …
Land of the Dead movie
This is the fourth film in George A Romero’s zombie film series (supposed to be a trilogy, but..). It follows the films Night of the living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). My own personal favorite is the first film, mostly because …
As Good As It Gets movie
I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …

The Dark Knight
The new Batman movie has been getting a lot of hype. With all the build-up, I was worried I’d be let down. I kept hearing such great things, I was worried my expectations were getting unrealistically high. Now, I can safely say, it was every bit as good I …
Red Eye
We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.
I was definitely wrong. While not as good as other airplane movies, it still was one of the better thrillers I’ve seen.
The main …

The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …
Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …

Movie Cabin Fever
I would have to say that Cabin Fever is one of my most favorite horror movies. You might think that it is crazy that I say that, but i have a reason for saying that.
the theme of the movie is a flesh eating disease that is responsible …
Film Valkyrie
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 …
Movie Benny and Joon

Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
The Chumscrubber movie
The first time I saw the movie “The Chumscrubber” was one time on the summer holidays when I went to my cousin’s house. I only saw the end of it at that time, but I remember it was enough to make me want to see the rest of the …
Taintlight, spoof horror film
I’ve watched movies on mass suicide, rape, people eating shit, and about a dozen more sick things. Nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me for this movie that I decided to watch. Taintlight. Yes Taintlight, a movie that decided to tear apart the first Twilight movie a …
Throw Mama from the Train (1987)
One of my favorite VHS tapes (yes, I am over 50 and therefore behind the times) is “Throw Mama from the Train”. Despite the horrid title, this really is a good adult movie. In fact, I might even go out and buy it on DVD, since tapes …
Wall-E
I took my entire family to see the Pixar movie Wall-E in June, 2008. Wall-E is a spectacular motion picture that is probably the most “adult” of any movie Pixar has released thus far. I say “adult” not because of any inappropriate content - the little robots …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …

Divergent (movie)
Divergent was one of those movies that I found really didn’t stand out enough for me to notice it at the time that it was released. I decided to watch it after several people told me it was a good science fiction movie even though I had my doubts about …
