The Bench Warmers the movie
I really enjoy watching the Bench Warmers over and over and over again and when I first watched it I thought it was lame but than I started watching it again and again and again and it got funnier every time I watched it. There were so many funny …

I went to the Cinema to watch “Underworld 3: The Rise Of the Lycans”
I know that this movie is the prequel to “Underworld”. In this movie which begins with Victor killing Lucian’s parents and takes Lucian in as a child yet makes him a slave to guard them.
Victor …
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, stoner comedy film
Harold and Kumar went to White Castle for a snack in 2004. The comedy would become one of the biggest hits in the stoner community. Four years later Harold and Kumar are heading to a whole new place and this time they won’t be eating any mini burgers at …
So close to life movie
This is a film by Ingmar Bergman and was made in the late 50s when he really had found his cinematic expression to its full potential. The story is about three women who are about the give births to children on a hospital. They talk a lot about their …
Brown Sugar movie
Backwhen I was still in high school, the movie “Brown Sugar” seemed ot be a big thing amongst some of my peers. At the time I didn’t know what many people where talking about either since I neither heard about it nor saw it advertise. Poeple were even talking …
Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014)
I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …
Target movie
An early film with Matt Dillon who plays a young man very disappointed with his father who he regards as a weakling. One day his mother is kidnapped and the father quickly changes into a very brave man and decisionmaker. Perhaps his father isn’t the kind of person believed …
Iron Man
I believe that “Iron Man” is the best super hero movie for this year. What is really interesting about this movie is that it brings two great actors Robert Downey Junior and Gwyneth Partlow together on big screen for a great movie blockbuster.
In an interview, …
Like Mike (2002)
Like Mike, directed by John Schultz is rated PG by the Motion Picture Asociation of America for brief mild language. The original release date was July 3, 2002 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Family/Fantasy/Sport and stars Lil’ Bow Wow as Calvin Cambridge, Morris …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
The Bucket List
There are not many movies out there that give you something to intellectually pause over. The Bucket List is an exception to that general rule. Typically when we go to the movies, we are lookig for something happy and uplifting to take us away from the real …
The Mask
One of my favourite movies from the mid nineties is a movie called “The Mask” starring the actors Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz. I still think that it was one of Jim Carey’s best movies and it was the best I had seen actress Cameron Diaz look in a …
White Noise 2 (PG-13, 2007) movie
First of all, let me say that White Noise, the first one—was total garbage. I really tried to get into it. But when the first images /sounds were displayed, I knew the film was going to be corny. They cast Michael Keaton in the lead. …
Strawberry Shortcake: Adventures on Ice Cream Island
OK, prior to having a daughter, I didn’t even know Strawberry Shortcake had a cartoon series; let along episodes on DVD. However, I will admit Adventures on Ice Cream Island is a decent DVD to rent if you want your daughter to be occupied for about 45 minutes.
The DVD …
Grizzly Rage
Grizzly Rage Starring Tyler Hoechlin Graham Kosakoski and Kate Todd
I got Grizzly Rage out because my husband and I were hoping to see a good old fashioned scary film. I have seen other movies where bears have attacked people and the bears are so fast and powerful that they …
The Great Debators
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, The Great Debators, starring Denzel Washington. This movie takes place during the Great Depression. It focuses on an all African American college. At this college there is a dedicated, rebellious professor, played by Denzel Washington. He teaches history, and runs …
Movie Sahara
If you enjoyed watching “The Mummy” and Indiana Jones series, then you are going to enjoy watching “Sahara” which is based on the book with the same name by Clive Cussler.
In “Sahara” the actor, Matthew McConaughey is Dirk Pitt, a marine engineer and explorer is searching of ‘the …
Real Mean
I have seen John Ritter quite a few times on television but never took the time to watch one of his movies. That changed this past weekend when I watched his film Real Men. And, I have to say, I was very impressed.
First off, I want to say that, …
Lord of War Movie
Nine times out of ten a moving staring Nicholas Cage is a big hit in our household. I have always enjoyed his movies so when my husband decided to rent the 2005 movie Lord of War I sat down expecting to enjoy the movie. Told as a narrative from …
Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …
The Hitcher movie
The Hitcher is about a young man who travels through the american desert and has the bad luck of picking up a psychopathic hitcher. It’s just not any psychopath, but probably the most frightening and calculating ever, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer. Actually, Hauer’s performance is what is most …
My Sister’s Keeper movie
General Plot: A teenage girl is diagnosed with Leukemia as a small child, so the parents decide to have another child, and to save the stem cells in order to use them for the first daughter’s treatments. Both daughter’s undergo many procedures over the years to keep the older …
Dog Day Afternoon Movie
Sidney Lumet is perhaps one of the most underrated american directors in my opinion with great films like 12 Angry Men, Serpico and Long Day’s Journey Into Night on his account. Dog Day Afternoon shows Al Pacino in one of his major roles as a bank robber, and also …
Don ( Shah Rukh Khan’s Don) movie
Actors- Shah Rukh Khan, Boman Irani, Priyanka Chopra
Director- Farhan Akthar
Don is a remake of the 1978 classic cult film by the same name, which was directed by Chandra Barot. In the original Don, the character of Don was played by the legendary actor, Amitabh Bachan. In this remake the character …
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra
G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. I almost didn’t see this movie thinking it was for a younger audience. I’m glad I decided to. I liked it! That surprised me as I was never …
Inception (movie)
Inception is an 2010 action, adventure and mystery movie directed by one of my favourite directors Christopher Nolan who has directed the successful Batman movies. The movie was doing very well on the box-office and my expectations were pretty high after knowing that my favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is …
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
The loveable, red-skinned hero is back to save the future of mankind. Action packed and absolutely hilarious, Hellboy 2 lives up to its prequel (Hellboy).
The scenario is unique, with sudden turns, heart-stopping moments and keeping me on my heels wanting more. The film is well budgeted with amazing …
Round-Up Time in Texas movie
After watching a bunch of old westerns with Tex Ritter, it’s actually quite a change to now watching a few with Gene Autry in them. They are both singing cowboys, but they are very different, too. This movie is called Round-Up Time in Texas from 1937.
First of …
Primeval
There was something missing with this film. I know that it followed lots of formulas about somet kind of big monster lurking in the exotic wilderness of a foreign land. As usual, there is the requisite bunch of diverse “scientists/explorers/writers” (pick one) with the ONE beautiful …
The Invisible Movie
The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …
Disney’s Mulan movie
If you have watched this movie, you would agree with me that this is so much different than all other films produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Mulan takes its art and story cues directly from Chinese mythology and successfully blends them with Disney elements. Mulan is a loveable, spirited …
Road to Eternity movie
The second part in Kobayashi’s trilogy about Kaji is the best one in my opinion. Here he has been transferred to “the field”, right in the face of war. The biggest trouble for him is not to stay alive in the battles, but to avoid fights with his fellow …
Basic Instinct 2
This movie was so unbelievably bad that I am ashamed to say that I own it in my movie collection. I purchased this disgusting excuse for filmmaking in a second-hand DVD sale. The movie has been sitting in my Netflix queue pretty much since it came out …
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a parody send up of Star Trek and Babylon 5 made by a group of friends using nothing but their own equipment and personal computers. When one realizes that, the special effects in the film (which are top notch) are all the …
Diary of the Dead, 2007 (DVD)
Wow.
There really aren’t words to describe this movie. I had heard not-so-good reviews about this film but knew I had to see it for myself. I wish I had heeded their call.
Diary of the Dead was crap. Plain and simple. I was so …
Superman: The Animated Series Volume One
Superman The Animated Series Volume One is not my favorite of the three seasons, but it is still an enjoyable and exciting season that I am more than happy to own. The three part season opener is particularly entertaining to watch as opens not on Earth or in Metropolis, …
The Triangle - Part 2 movie
The special effects in The Triangle, part 2 (and all parts actually), are very good and are part of the lure of what is a six-hour production. This movie or mini-series, depending on how you want to think of it, aired in 3 parts in 2005. It’s …
Movie Flight of Phoenix
‘Flight of Phoenix’ is a movie directd by John Moore. In this movie, pilot Dennis Quaid’s flight crashes on a scorching sandy desert. All the actors play the parts of the survivors of the crash. They are parched and anxious. All these actors have performed their roles wonderfully well. …
Return of the Rebels movie
Return of the Rebels is a made-for-TV movie that I loved to watch back in the day. It was one of those fun films that was showed repeatedly during a pre-cable era. It stars Barbara Eden and Don Murray, and something about it just appealed to me …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
Batman The Dark knight
Last year when I saw Batman begins I was eagerly waiting for the next sequel of Batman when Jim Gordon in the end of the movie showed a joker card to Batman and told him that a person left a card for him. I saw the first day first …
Torn Apart
Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …

Fracture
Fracture a movie starring Anthony Hopkins is a great thriller , murder drama movie. The movie starts right off the bat with great action. Throughout the movie Anthony Hopkins is said to be the killer but no one can find the murder weapon, when all in all …
The Lego (Movie)
I was just searching for some movies that can make my boring day awesome. Few days back, my friend shared his experience about The Lego movie. He said the movie was awesome and worth watching. So I thought to give it a try! The movie was directed by one …

Into the Wild Green Yonder is the fourth Futurama movie and represents Futurama’s take on ecological conservation. The movie revolves around Leo Wong wanting to build the universe’s largest miniature golf course, destroying countless planets and making several species extinct in the process.
