The son of a mafia boss is eager to prove is ability, so he plans an “act” to impress his father and his associates, but this only leads to more trouble.
This is in my opinion not an interesting or entertaining film. It tries to make a nice combination between …

When you see today’s current movies, it’s hard to forget that Tom Hanks was once a comedian and Dan Aykroyd was once a star who could carry a movie. If you want to remember what things were like in the late 80s and 90s, Dragnet is the movie you …

Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
This is easily one of Ben Stiller’s best movies. I love how he plays a male super model who …

Cars is a fantastic movie. My son watches it about every single day.
The characters (with voices by Owen Wilson and many other celebrities)are very well developed- from Lightning McQueen to Tow Mater- the animation by Pixar is excellent, as usual.
The story is about a car who is a hotshot …

“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …

District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
District 9 is a section set aside for the insect-like aliens that also inhabit Earth. It’s basically a slum, …

PBS has some of the most interesting shows on TV in our area. One of my favorite ones, they aired in 2002 was “Pioneer Quest: A Year in The Real West”. It was a Canadian version of Frontier House. My husband says I\’m obsessed with shows of this type …

My wife and I watched a movie yesterday that we are both huge fans of “The Ghost and the Darkness.”
When this movie first came out, I didn’t even know what it was. I figured it was a movie about a ghost. When I watched it the first time, however, …

First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …

It is hard to make a comedy where your main premise centers around two men who are dying of cancer. Still, they tried with The Bucket List.
Not only did they try, but they kind of succeeded. Both leads, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, play characters …

From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …

“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …

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 …

“A Christmas Carol 3D” stars Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge. He also did the voices of all three of the Ghosts of Christmas. A movie of “A Christmas Carol” has been done to death. It seems almost every year, there’s another adaption of Charles Dickens’s famous novel. So, I …

This latest sequel to the Shrek movies proves once and for all that multiple sequels are a bad idea. The movie is not as entertaining as it’s predecessors, and it becomes downright boring in many parts. While watching the movie Shrek Forever After, I get the sense …

The third installation of the Robocop saga continues with a new character playing Robocop, I guess that the original guy got totally fed up of the whole thing and decided that it was no longer in his best interest to continue playing the cyborg police officer. In this movie, …

I would say watch this movie, New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.) if you want a dosage of humility, some form of morality watch. This movie is something that I truly praise and it has such compassion, feelings and heart. To make this kind …

I love Friends! Who doesn’t?? This is the best of the best sitcom ever! The stories are really funny and relates to everyday life of people with friends. This sitcom does not tell about those too rich kids who can’t do nothing without their …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations. I am a huge dog lover and so this movie is perfect for me. I also love the whole London scene, even though I’ve never been there. I would like to go someday. This movie is about Pongo and …

Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire is sure another magical movie based on the book by J.K. Rowling. You can’t deny that the movie is a great one that you can’t blind your eyes. I always love each and every one of the series. I would totally recommend …

Like any discerning cinema fan, I’ve always been slightly suspicious of Drew Barrymore. Can she act? It seems for every decent performance she delivers, she chooses some unbelievably soulless project that would make even the finest acting look like a middle-school play. And way too often it seems like …

Synopsis: A man and woman who can’t stand each other end up moving in together after their friends are killed in a car crash and name them the guardians of their 1-year-old daughter.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not big into tear jerkers and, for the most part, …

Edward Scissorhands is a very heart-wrenching story that makes me cry buckets each time I watched. I just can’t get enough of Johnny Depp in this story and this is one of the best movies by him ever that I dubbed him one of the best actors. He totally deserves …

I love book to movie adaptations. That’s because, there is a certain kind of creativity that I can get whenever that happens. Watching Possession by Gwyneth Paltrow, I have a very fun time watching the performance acting by Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. In this movie, both …

The Far Pavilions, 1984, mini-series, is based on the novel by M.M. Kaye. I have one complaint about the movie: several scenes are done in the dark, leaving you to guess what is taking place. Other than that, the movie is good. The story is about Ashton Pelham-Martyn, or …

Mr. Imperium from 1951 was not a movie that I enjoyed overall. I just didn’t like much of it, including the ending, which I found to be depressing. Those who have read many of my movie and TV reviews will know that I prefer happy endings and …

I have lived in several states over the past few years and each place I lived had a RedBox kiosk somewhere close by. Usually the kiosk was located at Wal-Mart or Kroger.
I have only had two incidents with using RedBox, but was compensated for each infraction. Twice I …

Interview with a Vampire was a great vampire movie! I thought it was very creative how the vampire tells the reporter the whole story while we see what he is telling. Also I think that Brad Pitt and Christian Slater did a great job of acting as vampires. The movie …

The best words to describe the movie “Michael Clayton” is a deep drama movie that will make you bite your nails till the last minute. The true assets of this movie are the main actors, George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton. Sadly only Tilda Swinton won an Oscar …

You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …

When I was growing up, Herbie movies were a staple of our movie nights. Who couldn’t love the Love Bug.
In this latest reincarnation of the car hero, he is teamed with Lindsay Lohan. And, quite honestly, I didn’t like the pair.
While the movie did stick to the family-oriented entertainment …

I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …
