This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …

This was a cute little made for tv movie. It is intended for a younger audience if I had to guess. I would say it is appropriate for the ages 8 and up. It has little inappropriate humor, no bad language and only a …

There is a lot of fanfare around this Jim Henson and Frank Oz movie, which supposedly features some fantastic looking puppets. It is one of the movies released for PSP and has been hyped a lot. Supposedly it is a great movie. After watching five minutes of it I …

Positives: Comprehensive, narrative, informative and captivating.
Negatives: Too short, concise but could do with a bit more detail, narrow topic focus.
As an avid football enthusiast, it came as no surprise at all that I would look forward to viewing this documentary-type motion picture of a past FIFA World Cup, 2006, …

Requem for a dream is an excellent movie which shows the effects of drug addiction. This movie is a very well made movie with some excellent performances by the lead actors. Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto and Jennifer connolly played the lead roles in this movie and all of these …

Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …

The recent War of the Worlds movie starring Tom Cruise is one of the best big budget movies I have seen in a long time.
The story centers around a divorced man (Tom Cruise) who lacks responsibility in his life. When aliens invade, he is forced to take charge to …

This movie grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let go until you reach the very end. It captivates you and it keeps on giving that true movie experience. You want to see what happens next, you want to see where the movie is leading, you want to find …

While the sequel to the Raiders of the Lost Ark was obviously made because of the success of the first film, the Temple of Doom is my least favorite of the Indiana Jones Trilogy.

Usually, even if it is poorly made, a movie about a serial killer will have at least a couple of redeeming qualities to it.
When it comes to the movie Summer of Sam, this is definitely not the case.
The movie might have been good if they focused on the actual …

The movie Trick or Treat is different than most horror movies I have seen. Usually there is one killer or perhaps a pair of killers going around killing people in a movie. This movie has several plots going at once and you are waiting to see how they …

Ted is one of the best movies that I’ve seen this year. It’s funny, the writing is great, and the actors are extremely witty. Believe me when I say it is not what you will expect, because it wasn’t what I expected to see. Seth Macfarlane shines all the …

“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …

Almost ten years ago there was this movie that starred Robin WIlliams, in a movie that was called Jumanji.
This movie starts off with a Alan ( later played by Robin Williams) as the wealthy son of the local business man. He is small for his age and …

Nell is the film where award-winning actress Jodie Foster first tries her hand at directing, so I thought it should be worth watching. It has such a weird premise; a woman is raised without any human companion and brought up in the wild. The lady of course …

Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …

I watched Tropic Thunder the first day that it was released and it was such an enjoyable, funny and out of this world hilarious type of movie. Ben Stiller rocks! as a Director and I give him two thumbs up, without thinking for a second.

I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …

The movie Rocket Science is stars Reece Thompson as a 15 year old boy with a bad stuttering problem who joins the debate team because a girl, played by Anna Kendrick asks him too.

I can remember seeing the movie “Joy Ride” on the television guide a couple years ago when I was still in high school. However, I kept hesitating to watch it as at the time I was confusing it with a comedy which was released around the same time that …

I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.
I’m thinking my tastes in comedies has changed over the …

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best horror movies ever, but personally i prefer the older version and not the recent. The older version had so much more power to it, it expressed fear in a much more direct way, the blood was much more realistic and splattered …

Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).
The classic story …

In this film Audrey portrays the role of a bookstore clerk named Jo Stackton. The Quality magazine, a fashion magazine held a photoshoot at the bookstore she worked for. She was discovered …

Cute movie, very out there, but the children love it. I would say it would be a great movie to add to ur collection especially if you have children. I can’t say I think Jerry Seinfeld’s voice matched the bee. I would like to see more of a younger …

I remember when the movie The Haunted Mansion was released back in back in 2003 when I was in high school. I had no interest in seeing it then because it looked like it was going to be one of those silly children’s movies. These days, I’m a little …

Before American Pie was known as a classic there was Screwballs. This movie shaped what we now know as the modern teenage flick, a group of guys making a pact together and trying to follow through during the rest of the movie. A simple movie idea that is full …

I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …

When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …

I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
