The Heartbreak Kid
The best words that describe the movie “The Heartbreak Kid” is an attempt from the actor, Ben Stiller to make a successful movie similar to “There’s Something about Mary”. After nine years from “There’s Something about Mary” he teams about with the Farrell brothers to produce this movie, which …
Iron Man 2
Yesterday evening, I received a phone call from my husband. He was on his way home and wanted to know if I would like to go and see Iron Man 2. Well, of course, I said yes. So my daughter, my husband, and myself went off …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
Frozen Fever (2015 Animated Short Film)
After over a year, the long awaited sequel to the smash hit Frozen has finally arrived and I have to say that it is a major disappointment.
The story is awfully slight and I know that they couldn’t do much in 7 minutes, but this is too slight regardless. The birthday …
Toy Story 3 movie
I’ve been looking forward to the new Toy Story movie for a long time. I loved the first two. However, I really wanted to know that young Andy, now grown up and 17, would still love his toys and would keep them. Hey, I’m way over …
The movie Home On The Range
Home On The Range was, in my opinion, not one of Disney’s best movies. I had absolutely no desire to see this movie when it came out. I saw the trailer and was completely and totally unimpressed by they movie. However even though I had decided …
Holiday Inn movie
Holiday Inn is an adorable holiday movie, and the fun part is that it can be a part of almost any holiday of your choosing! The movie is about a small inn that is only open on holidays, and on those special days, the inn puts on a …
The Movie Sleepy Hollow
When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …
Happy Feet
Penguins..,such lovely and adorable creatures aren’t they? So lovely that the producers at Hollywood made an animated film about them , Emperor Penguins to be exact,who find their true love/soul mate by singing one to another.Aaa yes,but the story isn’t about the ones that sing,it is about one that …
Lean on Me movie
I am reviewing the movie, Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman. This movie is based upon actual events. Morgan Freeman plays a free spirited, gifted, dedicated teacher, who tries his best to teach his kids whatever he can. When he loses his job, he moves on …
Sweeney Todd
Just so we’re all clear, this review is about the 2007 movie with Johnny Depp - not the show, or the DVD of the show.
I thought this movie was a pretty good adaptation of the show. The acting is great, the songs are for the most part as good …
The magic flute movie
This film was intended for television purpose mainly, but was so popular the director Ingmar Bergman decided to give it a full release. It’s an opera play, telling the old myth about the magic flute in a very unusual way to be a film. Clearly this wasn’t Bergman’s ordinary …
The Good Shepherd (2006)
“The Good Shepherd” is a sobering and rather depressing depiction of the early days of the secret government agency that eventually became the CIA. Matt Damon plays the role of Edward Wilson, a very morose young man with an idealistic desire to serve his country. He gets …
Re-Animator
The movie, the Re-Animator, is based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s novel of the same name. It’s a massive gorefest, filled with loads of blood, nudity, and a very addictive theme song. This isn’t what you would call a zombie movie, or a infection or virus movie either, but it …
The Simpsons Movie
I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …
Flu Bird Horror movie
The movie Flu Bird Horror is in my top 20 list of one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen on television. Nevertheless, even though it is in that list, it is further down the bottom since unfortunately, I have seen worse bring broadcast on the …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I had been waiting on the edge of my seat for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to come out. I watched all of the movies prior to this one on DVD three or four times in the last month, getting reaquainted with the story and the …
Van Helsing
Van Helsing was a movie that flopped at the box office for all the wrong reasons. A monster movie that combined the classical stories of Doctor Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Count Dracula, and Van Helsing, using plenty of CGI and nonstop action. Unfortunately, in 2004 CGI was still new and …
Karate Kid (2010) Movie
Karate Kid (2010) stars Jaden Smith and Jacky Chan. This was a great movie, and this is almost a remake of the original Karate Kid. I liked this better than the old original ones. Primarily because Jaden. playing the role of Dre, is really cute. He acts beautifully, very …
Just Like Heaven movie
I watch Just like Heaven when I was flipping through channels and saw Resse Witherspoon, whose movies I love, mainly her chick flicks. I thought Just like heaven’s story line was unconventional and yet hard to believe although a bit eager to want to have. I did however end …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
Movie Midnight Express
Midnight Express is one of the most dramatic movies I have seen. This is the true story of Billy Hayes who has been jailed for drug trafficking in Turkey. Within the walls of the prison, Billy Hayes (played by late Brad Davis) will live a lifetime nightmare. The films …
The Blind Side 2010 Movie
The Blind Side tells the true story of Michael Oher and how he was taken in by the Tuohy family. It shows how he overcame great obstacles to become an athlete and eventually came to play for the Baltimore Ravens.
Since this is a true story, I can spoil …
The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
The 2008 Comedy/Horror Teeth
A friend told me about this movie one Saturday and all but forced me to watch it. To tell the truth, at first I thought the movie was going to be silly, and just another b-movie since the plot alone sounded ridiculous to me. Either way, I tried it …
Moon: Movie
Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …
Blazing Saddles (1974)
This great and classic comedy western by legendary comedian Mel Brooks is about a railroader who meets a snag in his contraction plan when he gets stuck in quicksand and has to find an alternate route to run his train tracks. He now has his eyes focused on a …
A Clockwork Orange movie
Written by Anthony Burgess in 1962, the film came out in 1971 and was directed by the late Stanley Kubrick, my personal favorite. With stunning visuals shot from all angles, Kubrick managed to take this story to a higher level. The book and the movie, however, have entirely different endings.
I …
Wet 2 Straight Remington Hot Iron
My hair is unfortunately very untamable at times. That is, until I was given a hot iron by my sister that has worked wonderfully on my hair without causing any damage or dryness. The Wet 2 Straight hot iron from Remington is a product that any boy or girl …

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, …
Father of the Bride
I’ve probably already reviewed this movie a couple of times but this is one of the best wedding movies ever. I always get a little teary eyed when I watch it. Steve Martin is always wonderful to watch. This is the ultimate ‘Dad’ movie. I remember when we saw …
Possessed Movie
This is actually a Thai film dubbed in English when I saw this one, I love watching horror movies even though I get scared easily, and this isn’t exactly your good old ghost but modern horror because of it’s demonic side. This is a story about a local girl …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
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 …

Interview with a Vampire (Movie)
Interview with a vampire is my favorite vampire movie of all time. It shows a kind of vampire that I feel has been pushed to the wayside in this generation. I think this is mainly because vampires are either made to be really disgusting monsters (like in Dracula or …

The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
I don’t know what on the earth prompt me to go for this movie; I had already read so many reviews about the film with filled mixed reactions. Those who had watched highly acclaimed classic with the same name made in 1951 simply loathed this one. I myself had …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …
