This is a movie starring Liam Neeson who plays Bryan, a divorced, retired government agent that used to work as a “Preventer”. That is, keeping bad things from happening. He retired to get closer to his 17 year old daughter Kim who lives with …
I’ve Been Waiting for You movie
When it comes to horror movies, there are truly scary films and ones that rely solely on blood and gore. Then there are movies that have neither and are quite bad. Unfortunately, “I’ve Been Waiting for You” falls into this final category.
Set in Massachusetts, the movie revolves around a …
Land Before Time movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Land Before Time. This is a timeless classic. It is a story about Little Foot the long neck, Sarah the three horn, Spike the sharp tail, Ducky the swimmer, and Peetry the flier. Each one of these characters is a dinosaur. This …
Weekend at Bernie’s movie
My wife and I have been wanting to watch the movie Weekend at Bernie’s for a while now. We both saw it when we were younger but neither of us could remember much of what happened in the film and were interested to see if it was as good …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
Movie Monsters Inc
Pixar’s 2001 release, Monsters Inc., is probably my least favorite Pixar movie ever released. For some reason, I cannot forget that Billy Crystal and John Goodman are the voice actors in this movie. Its difficult to explain, but Tom Hanks becomes Woody, and Owen Wilson becomes Lightning …
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
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 …
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Director: John Singleton. Featureing: Paul Walker, Eva Mendes, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Cole Hauser.
I really loved that movie. It is a true blockbuster, filled with all the right ingredients- the cars, the well choreographed and impossible car races, the humour, the friendship and the beautiful woman. Worth watching.
It is …
Curse of the Komodo (2003) movie
This is a pretty good monster movie. It’s about some scientists on a tropical island that did experiments on a komodo until it grew to giant size. Of course, the scientists were working for the government. The plot of this picture is very similar to “Komodo vs Cobra”, with …
21 Jump Street starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill (2012 Movie)
This updated version of the television classic that starred Johnny Depp has been highly anticipated, and it has received a lot of great reviews. This comedy is funny, likable and very entertaining.
I never watched the original 21 Jump Street TV series, and when I heard they were making a …
Lake Placid movie
I can rememebr when the movie “Lake PLacid” was released in 1999, it seemed to gain a lot of attention from my peers; but since I didn’t see it advertising to be released in theatres I wasn’t yearning to watch it as much as some of my friends were. …
Rehearsal for Murder movie
I probably haven’t seen Rehearsal for Murder since it came out way back in 1982, but I do remember it. It was a very suspenseful murder mystery, acted very well and presented beautifully. It’s been done in other shows and such before, but this is a good …
Star Trek 2009 movie
Here’s the deal. I am a devout lover of the original Star Trek TV series. I loved the movies that followed. Then I enjoyed most of the series spin offs that followed; not all, but most. Then in 2009, along came this new Star Trek, …
The Lovely Bones Movie 2009
I rented “The Lovely Bones” thinking it would be more of a supernatural thriller, but what I found it to be was a very heartwarming story of acceptance and grief. A young girl is murdered, but caught in the in-between of life and death, searching for meaning and to …
The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
RV Movie
I had high hopes for the movie RV when it was released in theaters. The previews for this movie look great in my opinion, and Robin Williams typically starts to very good movies. When i went to go see this is the theater I went in with high hopes …
The Face of Another movie
The experimental japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara came out with this interesting study of human sacrifice in the year of 1965. It is about a man who’s face has been entirely burnt off in an accident. People treat him like some sort of monster and can’t really see what’s behind …
The Notebook movie
The Notebook is one of the sweetest movie i have ever watched. It’s the top one on my list.The story is about Allie and Noah.The first time Noah ask Allie to have date was really horrible. If you can just can see me now I’m laughing. It’s horrible …
Purple Rain (Movie)
At first I really liked this movie, but now I absolutely hate it. I don’t even know why I keep the DVD around. This is a really old movie starring Prince and I guess it is about his life. I don’t know if it is a true story or …
Movie The Hangover
I went and seen the Hangover movie today, with a bunch of friends it suppose to be hilarious. I went with an open mind although it is suppose to be a guy’s type of movie, a guy’s worst case scenario in my opinion, but my friends were really interested …
Spotlight (2015 Drama Movie)
I was not even aware the film Spotlight existed until I saw that it was nominated for several Academy Awards. Thus I did a little bit of my own research on it and saw that the topic was definitely something that I would be interested in. What piqued my interest …
Jumper movie
“Jumper” was one of my favorite movies released in 2008. In fact, I did not know about the movie until I saw it advertising a little before it went into theatres. When I saw it advertising I wanted to see it a lot, but I knew I would neither …
Sweet Sixteen movie
A very realistic film about british working class misery. The director Ken Loach, well known for this way of showing his sympathy for the poor and unfortunate people of society, gives a very clear and heartbreaking picture of a young boy who slowly falls into criminality. The actors are …
Memphis Belle movie
Memphis Belle is an airplane serving in war and its crew is one of the best of the whole fleet. Time and again have they completed missions behind enemy lines and only one is left before they can return home. This one however, doesn’t turn out as well as …
Get Hard (comedy movie)
Despite its fairly mediocre rating on IMDB, I actually didn’t mind watching the movie “Get Hard”. Since Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were playing the main roles in it, expected something very raunchy and not as funny. However, one or two people I know told me it wasn’t bad. …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
The Parent Trap (original)
The 1961 movie, The Parent Trap, is one of my very favorite motion pictures. I own the DVD and watch it frequently. It’s family, and it’s fun.
Hayley Mills played a set of twins who had been separated very early on when their parents divorced. The mother …
Layer Cake (2004)
Daniel Craig plays the character of a street wise drug dealing business man, who, unlike so many of his competitors, does not indulge in using the product of which he sells. He is disciplined in the ways of the business. Setting a target cash goal for himself, and when …
Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …
Singin’ in the Rain musical
Singin’ in the Rain is a really good musical from 1952 that continues to thrill audiences all these years later. People remember this movie and the awesome dance sequences staged by star Gene Kelly, who also director along with Stanley Donen. I always think about Patrick Swayze …
The Men Who Stare at Goats movie
I just watched this movie recently, and from the looks of it, I do not think I will ever watch it again. Honestly, I thought it was a bankable film because it starred George Clooney and so far, I have been quite satisfied with his films, until I …
My Life Without Me
What would you do if you found out you had a terminal illness with just months to live? How would you ease your worries of how your life is going to end and what your family will think and react?
“My Life Without Me” deals with exactly just …
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 …
A League of Their Own Movie
For the longest time, A League of their Own was one of my favorite films, but it eventually took a back-burner seat to many of modern-day films. Yet, it has remained a past favorite that I still enjoyable to watch every now and then. I will be the first to …

Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
Heat, movie
“Heat,” the first film to feature Robert Di Niro and Al Pacino on the same screen together in a scene was filled with action, suspense, a great caste and a story line that will resonate with anyone looking for a remarkable piece of filmmaking. It’s not enough that two …
The Brontes of Haworth
It is a very rare situation that I cannot finish watching a movie. Especially a British one, and especially related to British classic authors. However, this is what happened with this one; I had surprised myself by being unable to finish even the first episode.
It is hard to say …
The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
Disney’s The GamePlan
Today I watched Disney’s The Gameplan starring Dwayne ” The Rock ” Johnson and Madison Pettis. It turned out to be a surprisingly refreshing movie with a nice family friendly message and a huge sense of humor. A comedy / drama that gets us caught up in the …

Hunger Games - Catching Fire, movie
I am an avid reader and I love to go to movies of books that I have read. I have a really bad habit of saying “they got it wrong” throughout the entire movie. My husband is not a reader and goes to these movies with a different point …

All About Steve
I enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, because they are generally lighthearted, feel-good romps which also teach a lesson, however cliché, about human nature and kindness. Although she has recently begun to choose roles a little more serious and substantial than her usual romantic comedies, I knew All About Steve would …
Identity
You want a weird movie? Watch Identity. Talk about a movie that will make you think! The cast is full of actors you already know such as John Cusak (Ed), Rebecca DeMornay (Caroline) and Ray Liotta (Rhodes). Everyone in the movie, all the characters, are out in the desert. …
27 Dresses
The other day, I gave in to my wife and watched the romantic comedy 27 Dresses with her.
While I’ll be quick to admit I actually enjoyed the movie; I was left a bit disappointed by it.
My biggest complaint about the film, which is about a woman who has attended …
Insidious Chapter 2 (Film 2013)
I decided to watch Insidious Chapter 2 after of course seeing the preview on TV one evening. Given that I had already watched the first movie, I was expecting another one to come after the ending to the first. The first insidious ended in such a way where I …
