The Shoes of the Fisherman
It was my sister who pointed me towards The Shoes of the Fisherman several years ago, and now I think I like it more than she does. Actually, I love this movie. It’s not about the religion, it’s about the principle and what could be if the powers …
Movie Casablanca
We watch a lot of movies and we enjoy the different types of movies that are available. Today movies are an art form that the tastes of indivudals decide how and what you are going to see in the movie theater.

The A-Team movie
The word of the day was skeptical. That’s how I felt about the 2010 theatrical film, The A-Team. Based on the TV series that starred the late George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T, I was certain I’d hate this movie. It’s not that …
Oliver and Company
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Oliver and Company. I am a huge dog and cat lover, and so this movie is perfect for me. Oliver is a little kitten, who nobody wants. When he becomes a stray on the street, he meets up with dog, Dodger, who …
Devil in a Blue Dress
I had seen the movie “Devil in a Blue Dress” being shown on a few cable television movie channels for years, but never watched it at the time since I just didn’t think that I would have any interest in the movie. However, recently since I have begun to …
John C. Reilly
I have just rented “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” but have not watched it yet. But if the movie is anywhere near as funny as this guy is when he’s in a comedic role, then I am sure that I will be guffawing a lot throughout. …

‘Runaway’ a short film by Kanye West
I really didn’t know what to think when I first heard of this short film, which was written by ‘Belly’ writer Hype Williams and directed by Kanye West. If I had not been able to read a brief description of the movie at the time that I heard about …
Spectre (2015 James Bond Film)
A lot of people I knew were very excited to see the movie Spectre as soon as it was released. While my excitement didn’t necessarily reach their level, I was certainly curious to see what it would be about since my interest in James Bond movies had been rekindled over …

Charlie Bartlett movie
Once in a while a teen coming of age movie comes along that I really like, and “Charlie Bartlett” became one of those. In fact, I marveled that I did not hear about it before when it was obvious that the movie was released fairly recently. It starred actors …
The movie Pearl Harbor (2001)
I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …
The Stoning of Soraya M
First thing’s first. If you love foreign films, you must check this film out. If you don’t like foreign film’s, especially if it’s because you don’t like to read and watch movies at the same time, you must learn to read and watch and then check this …

Planet Earth documentary
I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.
I really liked the series. I thought each episode had something interesting to offer. Some of the still shots and photography was stunning.
There …
Out to Sea movie
From 1997, Out to Sea is a surprisingly funny motion picture. Even with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau teamed yet again, I just wasn’t sure that this movie would have what it takes to entertain all the way through, but I shouldn’t have worried. With these two …
The Three Musketeers in 3D, 2011 Movie
I think that hardly there are many books with more screen adaptations of “The Three Musketeers”, but in spite of all that I think that the new version directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Alien vs Predator) has something new to offer to viewers , at least with the …

Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
Everest movie
It was a really fascinating and breathtaking experience watching the movie Everest on Imax. I watched it a few days back with a couple of old school friends, and two of us got teary eyed on some scenes of the movie. This is a very moving, inspiring …
Bruce Almighty Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey was brilliantly funny in this movie. He has always been one of my favorite actors and this movie just sealed it. It kind of made me think not to ever question God’s authority again. Jim Carrey plays a guy who is fed up with always being the …

Twilight
Everyone is so crazy about the book “Twilight”, well I personally haven’t read much about the book, but I did watch the movie a few weeks ago. The truth of the matter is, I think the movie is not as good as the book, this is because the story …

Devil’s Diary (movie)
I’m not sure if this movie originally came from the Lifetime Movie Network, but that is where I watched it the first time, and am watching it now again. I thought it was pretty great for a low budget movie too, and one that is on Lifetime, since I’m …
The Ballad of Andy Crocker movie
I remember well The Ballad of Andy Crocker from 1969, and the reason for that was the star, Lee Majors who played Andy Crocker. Crocker gets a medal as a heroic soldier in Vietnam and then heads home, uncertain of what he’ll find.
Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …
The Wedding Planner movie
This movie depicts many woman’s ideal job. It would be fun, in my opinion, to plan the perfect wedding, nailing down every detail, including the perfect best man’s speech.
In this movie, JLo’s character is the best wedding planner at one of the top wedding planning companies. She is thought …
Princess Mononoke (US Version)

500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
Gone with the Wind movie
I have been blessed to view the movie Gone with the Wind three times. Once, during an open-air film showing in our school. And twice after I graduated from college, where I felt fortunate to attend two showings of the film after the entire film was restored. …
Click (movie)
Click is a movie about a man who can click a remote control and move his life around from time to time and place to place. Adam Sandler plays the man, Michael, who receives this special ability to click around in his life. I bet you can predict the …
Little Man movie
I watched Little Man this weekend and was throughly diappointed. The movie could have been better if it didn’t have the dirty language and scenes in it. I don’t understand why people can not make a movie without putting in all the dirty words and sexual scenes.
The one scene …
What Would Jesus Buy

3:10 to Yuma
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. Crowe plays Arizona outlaw Benjamin Wade, a no nonsense, dangerous criminal. While dangerous, the man is also charming and likable. Then we meet Dan Evans, played by Christian Bale. He’s a family man, dedicated, …

I am reviewing the movie, Tainted Fruit, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004, was produced by Brian May, directed by Peter Smith, and was written by David Hoskins. This movie was inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham.
In this movie, murder …
Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
It’s funny when I think about it, but I never wanted to watch this particular movie because it had Will Farrell and I had hated him ever since I watched the movie ‘Kicking & Screaming’ which was one of the most gawd-awful movies ever made in my opinion, so I …
The Italian Job, movie (1969)
Chances are, you know who Michael Caine is. The Prestige, Inception and the recent trio of Batman films are only a few of the films to showcase his talents. Yet, there was a period where no one outside of England knew who he was. Thanks to …
