Sunshine Movie
I haven’t seen any Sci-Fi movie like this one, it’s an adventure and a thriller movie as well and you can really learn a lot about just concentrating on the film itself, like you can learn a lot about basic astronomy and the solar system, and things like so …
Pieces of April
In “Pieces of April” we see the actress, Kate Holmes with an image of a bad girl who has a conflictual relationship with her family. The story of “Pieces of April” is good but unfortunately in certain moments in the middle of the movie it may lose it’s potential …
The Old Curiosity Shop Movie
The Old Curiosity Shop, 1995, mini-series, is a good adaptation of the novel by Charles Dickens. Peter Ustinov plays Grandfather, a poor old man who is raising his beloved granddaughter Nell and trying to make her fortune by gambling. Peter Ustinov may be a little too heavy for the …
The X-Flies: I Want to Believe
I enjoyed The X-Files: I Want to Believe more than any of the X-Files television series I watched. I was happy to see the characters Dana Scully, Fox Mulder and Assistant Director Walter Skinner being played by the original cast. I think it takes a lot away from the …
Film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Truly one of the most innovative films of the 1980’s, I don’t believe that anyone truly expected what this film was before they witnessed it.
I remember seeing it at the theater when I was around nine years old. I’d seen the advertisements, and while it sure did seem different …
Happy Feet
Are you thinking about watching the movie “Happy Feet” with you kids?
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 …
Dark Harvest
Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …
Truman Show
I wanted to write about a movie called The Truman Show. It was a really good movie. It’s about a guy who thinks he’s a regular person in the world, but he starts noticing things are the same every day. The people are the same, the cars are the …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …
Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982)
A great sequel to a funny and classic movie. Ted Striker returns to attempt to save a lunar shuttle flight to the moon when a computer malfunction sends the flight on a one-way trip to the sun. Throughout the movie, you are guaranteed to laugh.
Let’s start with Robert Hays, …
Movie The Notebook
I really have always liked James Garner as an actor and he starred in a really nice little film called The Notebook. This love story also stareed Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Gena Rowlands and James Garner. The story starts with James garner visiting with his ladylove (Rowlands) in a …
Hachiko: A dog’s story
As I was searching what movie to download one day, the film “Hachiko: A dog’s story” caught my attention. I am always fond of watching movies in which animals are the main star of the film. This is about the loyalty of a dog named “Hachi” to his master, …
Monster In Law movie
I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …

Dirty Dancing Limited Keepsake Edition DVD set
There’s been a lot of press surrounding the Dirty Dancing Limited Keepsake Edition DVD set. Some people say that Lionsgate is milking the cult phenomenon to death, and maybe they are, but Dirty Dancing is a wonderful feel good movie that is iconic. It’s all about growing up …
Finding Nemo
There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.
Never mind the fact this is an animated film that is designed with children in mind. The underlying message is how difficult …
Kill Theory movie
A friend of mine had the DVD for Kill Theory, and I decided to kill time while I was at their house and watch it, even though even the title seemed very corny to me, and I’m usually very wary of a lot of horror movies that seem to …
Mortal Kombat (2010)
The first time I saw this video, I honestly thought it was a fluke, a trick video. Then I recognized Michael Jay White, from Spawn. That’s when it hit me that this was a real video. From what I’ve read, it’s not an upcoming trailer or anything like it. …
Big Fat Liar
Big Fat Liar is an unpretentious teen-oriented flick about a kid who lies all the time and then gets to taste his own medicine when a Hollywood producer steals his idea. Jason has lied so much in his life that no one takes him seriously any longer, so when …

Grave of the Fireflies
This “anime” film from Japan by Isao Takahata deals with a lot more realistic theme than those found in the most famous anime creator Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies tells the heartbreaking story of some children who survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in the 1940s. It is very …

Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. Mothra is a definite improvement over King Kong vs. Godzilla, although it is still not necessarily on my top ten list of favorite Godzilla movies. I find the Godzilla suit to be a definite improvement over the Godzilla suit from the previous suit because this Godzilla looks …
Lego Batman: The Movie
With the recent “Lego” movie thriving at the box office, I decided to take a look back at its quasi-official predecessor, a direct to video movie that tied into the “Lego Batman” video game franchise, more specifically, the sequel that brought in several of the other heroes that inhabit …

My husband and I watch this movie Taken last Sunday. Liam Neeson plays the role of a retired government secret agent, Brian Mills who loves his one and only daughter Kim, played by Maggie Grace. He is a lonely man, he lives all by himself. He’s divorced …
Twilight Saga Eclipse (2010)

Raiders of the Lost Arc
I am reviewing the movie, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc. This is the very first movie in the Indiana Jones series. It is followed by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In this movie, Indiana …
Premium Rush (movie)
One of the movies that I had an interest in seeing late last year was the movie “Premium Rush”. I had seen the trailer when viewing the coming attractions before watching a movie and I thought that not only did it look interesting, but it seemed like a pretty …
Naked Gun 33 1/3
Naked Gun 33 1/3
This show was made back in the 1990’s when these “stupid” comedies making fun of other shows were very popular. Yet today it still hold very funny. This is the third movie of the Naked Gun Series The Naked Gun series keep on making people laugh …
How To Rob A Bank Movie
When I bought this movie from the DVD store I didn’t expect a lot from it. I didn’t know the actors, never heard about the director and never heard about this movie in any reviews I have ever read before. I decided to make this a bed time movie, …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Pinocchio holds a special place for me. When I was a young boy, my stepfather and I had a �quiet� relationship. One of the motivations to get my sisters and I to do our chores was a reward. That reward was we got to pick between eating out or …
Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
Leap Year Movie
Hubby and I had a movie marathon last night. After watching a few depressing movies, we decided to watch Leap Year to lighten the mood a bit before going to sleep. I’ve always love Amy Adams’ movies but this one, I’m afraid is not one of them. This …
Grease
I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …
Avatar 3D (2009, James Cameron)
I love this film.
I had heard a few grumbles about the ‘lack of plot’ and that watching 3D was tiring and made some people feel sick, and that the effects ruled the film and became too much.
Stuff and nonsense.
First of all, yes - the 3D glasses are not …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …
Harry potter
Harry potter is the movie, which my 3 years old son has liked a lot. I had been to the theatre with my little son and my husband 2 weeks back. The action in the movie is very good and the comedy is excellent. The costume …

Natural Born Killers (1994 black comedy thriller movie)
Natural Born Killers was one of those movies that I kept hearing about, but I never got to see. Therefore, recently I made it my duty to get it so I could finally know what it was that I had missed. While I have to admit that the movie did …

Big Fat Liar
“Big Fat Liar” is the living proof that you can make a great movie without having big actors in it. The main actors of this movie are the young actors, Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes who up to 2002, when the movie was produced, they were not very much …
Supernatural
I love sci fi or horror movies. Supernatural is one of those movies. I was scared to watch them alone at first, then I found out that they don’t tell about ghosts or anything scary like that. They tell stories about demons and devils. Ghosts …
Road to Utopia movie
Road to Utopia was the fourth movie in the Road picture series. Released in 1946 (but filmed in ‘44), Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour starred in the film. This time a couple of different things happened, beginning with a narrator (Robert Benchley) being used to …
X Men First Class movie
I have always been an X men fan but after the last set of X men related movies I was just not very excited about this next X men movie. I didn’t think it would be that great but I was wrong. Wow X men first class if what the …
Ida (2013 Foreign Film)
Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …
Disney’s Robin Hood (1973)
“Robin Hood” is not my favorite Disney animated feature. In fact, the main reason why I like it at all is the narrator, a rooster / minstrel with the voice of Roger Miller, who also composed the songs that he sings to move the story along.
The bunnies …
