Blue Hawaii movie
Blue Hawaii is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. Part of it is because of the beautiful scenery, part is due to the musical score, part is due to a decent plot, and part is due to Elvis himself.
I’ve been to Hawaii and to the hotel where …

Julie & Julia film
While watching this film, I was thinking that someone really interested in cooking could probably enjoy it more than me, since the film it’s mostly about good food, cooking as a hobby, or cooking as a passion. It might make you want to cook, or try the recipes. However, …
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 …
The Wedding Singer
The Wedding Singer marks the appearance of Adam Sandler being an extremely funny man. He rocks in this movie and his side-kick, Drew Barrymore rocks too. The storyline is about Adam being a wedding singer and this romantic comedy is awesome.

I am Legend movie
Frankly speaking my expectations were higher from this film of Will Smith, but this one really disappointed me. The story goes like this:
It is New York city, in 2012, completely devastated and ruined by an incurable disease three years ago, and Robert is the only one who somehow survived …
Happy Feet
The movie “Happy feet” was great. I brought it for my granddaughters to watch, but I really enjoyed watching it myself. I like the dancing peniguns and the characters portray in the story line. The
choregraphing for the movie was very creative, the music was enlightening. I like the movie …
Remember Me (2010)
I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …
Rocky Balboa
I would have to say that I love all Sylvester Stallone movies. Although I didn’t like this one as much as the other ones at one part of the movie my view was completely changed and grasped. What I love about this movie is it is soooo inspirational. Anytime …
Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
The comedic master mind that is Mel Brooks takes center stage as he pokes fun yet again at another movie. This time he takes on Dracula and tosses and turns this once serious and feared character into that of an onscreen laughing stock. Mel is one of the only …

Matchstick Men
Matchstick Men is a film that cons you right until the end. A con man getting conned at his own game - while this story has been told in many different versions, the intrique and suspense is no less in this film than any other. It took me …
The Punisher (DVD)
I’ll be honest, The Punisher wasn’t one of those movies that I was dying to see or in fact even wanted to see. That all changed when I went over to my brother’s house. He had rented this movie from blockbuster and we decided to watch it. I am …
Alien movie (1979)
(Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt)
The original Alien is widely regarded as a science fiction classic. Although plenty of attention is paid to the production values and set design in terms of the spacecraft and aliens themselves, both of these elements don’t appear to be the focus. Instead, Alien …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …

Blood and Black Lace movie
This is Mario Bava at his best. With a cinematic style that was later to become the famous “giallo” genre in italian film industry is here more or less invented by Bava himself. A hideous murder story, unpredictable shock sequences, poweful imagery with a lot of camera movement and …

Movie : Haeckel’s Tale
Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …

Show Boat musical
It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …

Tammy (2014 Film)

When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …

The Prestige
The inevitable comparisons between The Prestige and The Illusionist come, but their similarities end with the fact that they are about turn-of-the-last-century stage magicians. The Illusionist was a love story. The Prestige is a story of rivalry and revenge. The Prestige is decidedly darker, stepping down into the supernatural, …
Daddy’s Little Girls

True Grit movie
In 1969, John Wayne starred in True Grit, and it’s one awesome picture. I don’t like the violence, but even so, I went to the theater numerous times when it was first released. I love it. The movie co-stars Kim Darby and Glen Campbell. Along …

The Invisibles (starring Portia de Rossi)
I suppose The Invisibles was one of the earlier movies that Portia de Rossi star in. Together with a not bad looking actor (I don’t know his name, really), this is a story on what is perhaps happening in the world of celebrities. I find the characters of …

Movie Halloween
We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …
The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …
Three monkeys movie
The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie …
