Taken in Broad Daylight (2009)
I have no idea if this movie ever made it to the theatres but in any event I saw this on the Lifetime channel and found it very interesting. It is about a teenager who was kidnapped from a shopping mall and as the title says, it was done …
Transformer : Their War Our World Movie
At the beginning I did not interested watching this kind of movie. It was my hobby when I was a kid, so it might be a little bit funny if I want to see the robot movie. Time to time, I also knew that there were many robot movie …

Recently I visited the local artsy video store and rented the DVD “Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg” It is a Swedish film in Swedish, but much of it was in German with English subtitles. Directed by Kjell Grede and released in 1990.
I was extremely impressed by it. I must confess …

This PBS documentary was about a volcanic eruption that happened in the early 20th century. Thousands of people were killed in the eruption and the ensuing tsunami that hit Java and Sumatra …
The Secret - The Movie
I stumbled upon this website “by chance” and found a wonderful, life-changing (yes, at least for me) movie available either as a download ($4.95) or as a DVD ($29.95) that can be ordered. After viewing the impressive trailer, I ordered the DVD and anxiously waited for “the secret” to …

“Couples Retreat” the Movie
Sadly enough, when I sat down to watch the movie “Couples Retreat”, I really did not have any high expectations. Surely enough, I was right
..

Identity Thief (movie)
When I saw the trailer for the movie Identity Thief on youtube before it came out I never really thought that it stood out, and so I wasn’t particularly interested in watching it. However, one or two people who I know encouraged me to watch it a little after …
The Big Fight (1972)
There’s really no doubt in my mind that Martial Arts movies rock. They’re creative, invigorating, and can make anyone who watches them sit on the edge of their seat, their heart pounding as two men fight fist to fist, or blade to blade. I find them to be a …

I saw Spiderman 3 at a matinee the weekend after it opened. There had already been a ton of reviews stating just how horrible it was and that Sam Raimi is just a huge dissapointment with this one.
NEVER listen to critics. Always make your own decision when …
Black Cat Episode 4
Black Cat Episode 4 involves Sven and Rinslet Walker trying to rescue Eve from Torneo’s mansion while Black Cat tries to finish the job and kill her.
I liked this episode a lot; it was really clever and showed off more of Sven’s talents as a master escape artist. …
Man on Wire movie
There is just no words to sum up how I feel upon watching Man on Wire. It is such a gripping documentary type of movie that tells about this man by the name of Phillippe Petit whom literally walks on wire. He walks between the Two Towers (the …

The Hills Have Eyes 2
It’s not often I come across a horror film that actually scares me to the point I want to make sure all the doors and windows are locked. The Hills Have Eyes 2 managed to accomplish this.

Thunder on the Hill movie
Thunder on the Hill is a movie I love because it stars two actresses whose talents I’ve enjoyed for decades, Claudette Colbert and Ann Blyth. It’s a very dramatic film, even intense in places. As a young girl, it actually startled me a couple of times.
Blyth plays …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Clue movie
I am reviewing the movie, Clue, starring Tim Curray. This movie is based off of the board game, Clue. Who did it? With what? Where? When? These are the main questions one has to ask. Was it Mr. Green, Colonal Mustard, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. White, …

Zoolander (R, 2001)

Other People’s Money Movie

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
This movie was, in a word, charming. I went to this movie with a couple of my friends and I think they enjoyed it too. I haven’t seen any other movies with these actors, but I think I would. The movie was light despite the melancholy setting (right at …
Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
View from a top movie
“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …
Kit Kittredge - American Girl Movie
I recently took my daughter to a preview of the Kit Kittredge Movie. It was the package deal offered by American Girl in Manhattan. For $44, we saw the movie and had dinner at the American Girl Cafe. Also included were, a tee shirt for my …

Traitor, spy thriller film
Traitor came out and was hoping to bank off of the success of other films. It didn’t work too well but can the video release at least shed some life on Don Cheadle’s action movie?

The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …
Turkish Star Wars
This movie is seriously an abomination on film. A lot of bad movies fall into two categories.
The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …
