Movies Reviews
Redbelt movie
I watched this movie recently on one of the movie channels. Overall it was a pretty good movie. Honestly I felt like it is a movie that has good things and bad things in it. One of the good things about this movie is it is a unique movie. …
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a fun movie to watch, but it’s not nearly as good as the previous movie, Godzilla vs. Biollante. This movie isn’t as dark as the previous two and actually features some campy scenes that are a bit reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s movies. …
Dumb and Dumber To, movie
Jim Carrey films were one of the most prominent features of my childhood so it was with some nostalgia that I approached this movie, even though the original Dumb and Dumber has never been one of my favourites. Carrey’s recent films have been relatively subdued in comparison to …
Ghost World
Watching Ghost World is not quite like watching a chick flick. Although you see American Beauty actress Thora Birch and the sweet and innocent look actress, Scarlett Johansson star. This is kind of an exploration type of movie and I feel that each character in the story has …
Cranford dvd
‘Cranford’ by Elizabeth Gaskell has been made into a five part series, now available to buy on dvd.
It has been adapted by the BBC who seem to be masters of making period dramas for television. The story is set in a Cranford; a market town in the north west …
Asterix and the Olympics
First, I can’t remember the first Asterix movie I watched, but I remember it was very funny. I’m disappointed by this one though, more details later. If you’ve read their comics, then you know that Asterix and Obelix are a lovable character from the Gaul village in …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …
‘Deadpool’ Movie
People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …
Movie: The Hangover
Synopsis: Four men travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. The next morning, three of them wake up in their trashed hotel room and discover the groom is missing. They need to re-construct what happened the night before and find him before his wedding in a little over …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …

Carnival of Souls movie
Carnival of Souls was directed by american independent filmmaker Herk Harvey in the 1960s, and this is the only one of his films that is still seen today, even though a directed tons of others. The plot is about a woman who is involved in a car accident, and …
Awake movie
I watched the movie awake yesterday. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I didn’t want to stop watching it for anything. The thought of “anesthetic awareness” to me is scary. To think that you are going into surgery and you are not fully asleep and can still …
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, is the second movie in the historic Star Wars saga. The movie follows young Luke Skywalker who is continuing his jedi training from master Yoda. Friends Han Solo and Princess Leia are being pursued by Darth Vader as a …
Arachnophobia movie
I was trying to find something to watch last night while sitting up with our youngest daughter and ended up putting on the movie Arachnophobia.
Big mistake. And, not because it is a horrible film; because it kept me up half the night thinking there were creepy crawlies on me.
I …
Blockbuster Online Rentals
Recently, I tried out Blockbuster’s Online Rentals, and it was an interesting experience.
The sign up process was simple enough, and I found the website to be fairly easy to use. I was on the 3-movies at a time program, and I began by making a very long list …
“Jumper” (2008 film)
The 2008 film “Jumper” starring Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christenson, looked to be a great action movie that would catch the viewers attention. The actors in the film are known for many other roles in which they really shined, and I had anticipated that the same would be said …
Blood and Sex Nightmare Movie
I believe this movie can only be described as an “epic failure”. I watched it online and I realized that it was possibly one of the worst movies I had ever seen. This was because it seemed to have concentrated on the sexual aspects and the gore in the …
Batman 1989 Movie
This darker, more comic book feeling Batman was released in 1989 and was actually the first Batman movie I had ever seen. It was only after seeing this movie that I really wanted to know more about Batman and his character, which started my love for DC and Marvel …
30 Days of Night. A Movie
To be fully honest I cannot stand scary movies, I am a much bigger fan of romantic comedies. However while I maybe a romantic comedy person, my husband is not. He loves scary movie and feels that romantic comedies are really boring. That being said every once in …
Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show two times in my lifetime; last night was the second time. Each time I enjoyed the movie but I found myself leaving awfully confused.
Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …
Intacto (R, 2001) movie
A friend of mine referred this movie to me because I happen to like independent thrillers. But I found this movie rather unthrilling. The concept was pretty good: a man who has control over luck and fate bestows his gift upon others, but not without great …
The Sweetest Thing
“The Sweetest Thing” was a Romance and Comedy flick which was released in 2002. It is also what some people might call a “Chick Flick” as it revolves around the lives of several young female friends and one of them who is trying to track down a guy she …

The young Angelina Jolie is simply delicious as the young rebel in this movie. This is a must for all Angelina Fans!
In Firefox, Jolie plays a teenage rebel and incites a group of young women to stand up for themselves when a teacher is taking advantage of the …
Hills Have eyes movie
This movie i think is of the best this years it takes place in nevada in which Nuclear testing took place. this movie is very exciting from beginning to end. it is a littlee horrific because of the bloodshed that takes place but you kind of …
Scary Movie 4 (movie)
More likely than not, anyone who readily enjoyed the first three Scary Movie flicks to be released, will also have a great appreciation for their newest release to the world of dvd’s! Scary Movie 4, like its brother and sister movies, takes already made movies and adds a …
Movie: The Incredibles
There wasn’t much on TV last night so I ended up sitting down and watching the movie The Incredibles for about the 5th or sixth time.
To be honest with you, I don’t know why I did. The movie is OK but there are plenty of animated films out there …
Adjustment Bureau Movie
I was very excited to see the Adjustment Bureau. I am usually a fan of Matt Damon’s work because he is a very solid actor and has done movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Emily Blunt, although a much newer addition the Hollywood scene has also proven …

Dickinson Eastglen 16 movie theater, Lee’s Summit, MO
As someone who loves to go to the movies, I am so disappointed in our local movie theater - Dickinson Eastglen 16. Over the past several years, the facility has fallen into a state of disrepair. Several of the faucets in the bathroom no longer work and …
Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill
The very last of the Sherlock Holmes movies to star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was Sherlock Holmes’ Dressed to Kill. Parts of this story are among my favorite moments. I suppose the actors had these roles so down pat by now that it felt more natural …
Pocoyo
I love animation movies. I’ve been watching animation movies since I was a kid and I still do that till now. My daughter is 3 years old and she also likes watching cartoon or animation movie. I allow her to watch Playhouse Disney since there I …
Pursuit of Happiness
I enjoyed the movie “Pursuit of Happiness” with Will Smith and his son. This was a different kind of movie for Will. It was based on a true story of a man who was smart but lost everything and became homeless. After his wife left him, he had …
Avatar
Avatar, Avatar, Avatar—¦. This movie has had an immeasurable amount of hype. The amount of hype backing this movie before release was absolutely insane. There were so many people excited for this movie and the trailers made it seem like this movie was going to blow our minds and …
Movie: BioDome
Synopsis: Two underachievers break into a bio dome and are locked in for one year.
What I liked about this movie: This is actually a pretty decent film about our environment. The two men don’t care a thing about protecting the environment and end up causing chaos wherever they are, …
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 …
After Earth (2013, Movie)
When I heard about this movie, a science-fiction, with Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, I thought it was gonna be a good film, due to previous movies in which Will Smith played. For me, personally, it was a disappointment, and here is why…
First of all, the movie …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is not my favorite of the Harry Potter movies. Unlike the other 4 films out on DVD, this one feels like it’s too long. I first watched this movie on …
The Shawshank Redemption
Can Hollywood, typically creating things for amusement purposes only, create art? To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process. Such an intimidating task requires an tremendously capable artist with an indisputable managerial …
Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …
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 Guard (movie)
I watched the comedy thriller “The Guard” last night, and while there are many things I have to say about it, I promise to keep my review fairly brief.
The movie was about the strange partnership of an FBI agent, and an Irish policeman with some very unorthodox ways, …
Blazing Saddles movie (1974)
Is anyone else a Mel Brooks film lover? I know I am. The first time I saw one of his films, I was a kid and asked my mother about any other films he might have made. My first one was …
Don’s Plum
The first time I watched this movie was when I was either watching a documentary about either the actor Tobey Maguire or the actor Leonardo DiCaprio. However, I can remember recalling that I had never heard of that movie and would someday like to watch it, as it starred …
Columbo: A Trace of Murder movie
There were only three more movies for Columbo after 1997’s A Trace of Murder in which Peter Falk’s wife, Shera Danese, again received first billing of the guest stars. She’s Cathleen Calvert, the wife of a rich man and the dependent of a strong pre-nuptial agreement. To …
Land Before Time movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Land Before Time. This is a timeless classic. It is a story about Little Foot the long neck, Sarah the three horn, Spike the sharp tail, Ducky the swimmer, and Peetry the flier. Each one of these characters is a dinosaur. This …
