Ratatouile movie
I like this movie so much. I enjoy so much how a rat was able to change a life of an orphan and was the sole key for his success. I enjoy the movie so much since the story line was a little fresh. I love how the plot …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Grimacing Governor movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Grimacing Governor is another story that centers around country rancher and attorney, Wild Bill McKenzie, as played by Hal Holbrook.
This movie has an impressive cast that includes James Brolin, John Spencer, Elyssa Davalos, Ken Kercheval, Bonnie Bartlett, Gregg Henry, Kim Johnston …
Romeo and Juliet
I am reviewing the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This is Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who defy their feuding families in order to be together. Leonard Whiting and Olivia do …
P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
Running Scared
I don’t really like the movie, Running Scared. It is too much filled with violence and certainly not suitable for kids to watch at all.
The movie is about the character Paul Walker (and he’s looking really handsome in this movie) trying to race with time to get …
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
In the previous movie, in the ending of it that is, it showed a new strain of the alien creature as it adapted the predator gene. Now, in this movie, the creatures are once again back on earth, there usual playground, and they are after each other with us …
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie)
I don’t like most musicals because I find the majority of them boring and almost ridiculous. It really doesn’t matter what they’re about either, because they generally evoke the same feelings within me. I knew absolutely nothing about Hedwig and the Angry Inch when I was younger, because if …
Gravity Movie 2013
There are movie screenings after which when I get out of the cinema I feel strange for a while. As if I’m in another world. Everything is familiar, but somehow different, strange. That is a clear evidence that I’ve watched something great and insightful. I have immersed myself in …
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994
Martin Chuzzlewit, 1994. This movie is based on a novel by Charles Dickens and it does it justice. There are two Martin Chuzzlewits in this story, the grandfather and the grandson. First we meet the grandfather (Paul Scofield), a wealthy old man haunted by a crowd of relatives trying …
Sky of Love (Japanese Movie)
Sky of love was one of the few mobile phone love stories published on a book. It became really popular that the book sold for more than 11 million copies. I first came to know about the show in the cinemas, but did not actually managed to watched it …
Mr. Woodcock
When I saw the previews for the movie Mr. Woodcock, I didn’t know what to expect. With Sean William Scott and Billy Bob Thornton, I figured it would be a lot of slapstick but not much substance. But, I have to admit, after watching it, I was impressed.
Scott plays …
Ladyhawke (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “Ladyhawke” was not only a strong dose of fantasy that touches everyone’s inner child and magical yearning for something powerful that can’t possibly be real, as well as beautiful love story that was heartwarming to watch. Mathew Broderick, a very young Mathew Broderick, as well as …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding movie
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a very funny movie! It will have you laughing through out the entire film. It is about a woman(Tula) that is in a Greek family, and she is somewhat embarrassed about how her family acts(like them roasting a lamb on a …
Far and Away
I have often seen this movie being aired on the Starz Western channel. However, I never took an opportunity to watch it throughout the years. This was because I somehow thought that I might find the movie boring despite the fact that I had seen clips of it featuring …
Blockbuster Video
Although I don’t watch a lot of DVD movies, perhaps 2 a week at the most, I do like to be able to rent the movies I want to see when I want to see them, not weeks later. I generally don’t make it to the movie theatre more …
Anthony Hemmingway’s Red Tails movie
My husband and I both love movies that are based partly on historical events so when we saw the advertisement for Red Tails on Red Box we decided that we would rent it as a fun movie for the two of us. We only paid $1.20 to rent the …
Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …
Twilight: Eclipse
Disclaimer: I am neither a fan, nor a hater of the Twilight franchise. While I didn’t read the books, I saw both previous movies, and on the whole found them to be a light, undemanding (if sometimes cracktastic) entertainment.
I went to see Twilight: Eclipse with no particular expectations, and …
“Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides” (2011 Film)
I can honestly say that the fourth film of the “Pirates of Carribean” series worried me. The first three films were remarkably casted, well laid out, and left me laughing and one the edge of my seat with suspence. However, after seeing the fourth film in theaters, “Pirates of …
Next Stop, Greenwich Village movie
I absolutely adore movies that take place in the 50’s and 60’s. This movie was made in 1976, but takes place in 1953, so close enough. For some reason, those two decades fascinate me. And the music is so fantastic, I can’t get enough of it! Anyways, onto what …
Xiu Xiu Movie
Merely a fifteen year-old, Xiu Xiu, the “sent-down girl”, grows mentally and emotionally within a short period of 6 months. Through this film, we see a girl’s transition from dutiful soldier to pitiful victim.
Xiu Xiu, in the name of national defence, volunteered to join the army. However, she was …

Daniel Deronda (BBC, 2002), based on a novel by George Eliot, is a treat for period drama fans, especially those with the idealistic side who love a Noble Hero. Daniel (Hugh Dancy) is a handsome young gentleman raised and educated by Sir Hugo Mallinger, a wealthy aristocrat. The society …
Limitless Movie (2011)
I am going to tell you right from the start that I have watched Limitless movie (starring Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper) about a dozen times now. So it is pretty obvious I loved it very much.
There is something about the movie that makes you want to either …
Jaws (1975)
Are you the type of person who takes joy in basking in the sunlight at your local beach? If you are then this movie is just the thing you need to watch that will scare the dickens out of you each time you go to that favorite beach of …
Center Stage Movie
I had watched this movie for the first time and my first thought was like, where did these people come from? The next thought that followed was that, why aren’t they famous, they should be! Upon watching Center Stage, this is the perfect movie for ballerinas, may the be …
Movie Adventures in BabySitting
A very cute movie that the family can sit and watch together is Adventures in Babysitting. This movies involves a high school senior Chris Parker played by Elizabeth Shueand three kids she gets stuck babysitting because she is stood up by her boyfriend. Chris doesn’t want to babysit …
Kidulthood (R, 2006) movie
It is always weird to see street kids from England. Their little accents make them sound so sweet, yet they are using language that is just as foul as American people. This movie focuses on a group of teenagers going to a school. One of the …
Movie The Prince and Me
“The Prince and Me” is the romantic movie that made the actress, Julia Stiles even more popular after her roles in important teen movies like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Save the Last Dance”.
“The Prince and Me” is a cute movie about Paige (Stiles) and Edward, a …

This episode was great. …
Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I received the DVD Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Christmas. I liked both the movies before it, and I missed seeing Dawn of the Dinosaurs in the theaters, so I wanted to see it on DVD. The movie is a continuation of the last two …
Mr. Untouchable (DVD)
Many people were up in arms about “American Gangster” starring Denzel Washington. The story of Frank Lucas is quite fascinating. But then later on, months after the movie’s hype had died down, I started hearing some things about Frank Lucas and Nicky Barnes. In American Gangster, …
Blast From The Past movie
Blast From The Past is a 1999 comedy film starring Brendan Frasier and Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek. The movie is about a man and his pregnant wife who take refuge in a fallout shelter when a plane crashes and destroys their house, the man sets the …
Facing the Giants Movie
I had heard of this film when it first came out…a low budget Christian movie about a high school football coach and his team. This movie turned out to be so much more than that. If you are a true believer in Jesus Christ, then this movie …
Two Weeks Notice
I am reviewing the movie, Two Weeks Notice. Sandra Bullock plays neurotic lawyer, environmentalist, and landmark-preservation activist Lucy Kelson. She is determined to delay all efforts to destroy the environment by building and reconstructing. At the height of this comes completely opposite George Wade, who is played by Hugh …
Paranormal Activity (2009 film)
This is one of those love it or hate it movies. I don’t think there is anyone who came away from this with a middle of the road reception. I myself could’ve gone either way as many of the reviews I heard were “it’s really good, it’s …
Les Amours imaginaires / Heartbeats movie
Francis and his friend or more likely shopping companion, Marie (played by Moni Chokri ) do not play out their love newcomers Nicolas (played by Niels Schneider ), but they take some crooked glances, and a crush develops independently of Nicolas.
Of course, that with his curly blonde hair and …
“Everbody’s Fine” (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “Everybody’s Fine” is not only filled with a great cast of actors and actresses that work well with one another and compliment each other’s characters, but was a heartwarming story that made for a great movie to enjoy.
This movie is about a widowed man (Robert …
Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …
Kindergarten Cop movie
This is one of the oldest movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I first saw this film when I was just a young girl. Now, I have seen it again in HBO and it felt like I have only seen it now. It is a comedy film, not the usual Terminator …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
Mighty Aphrodite
Woody Allen has always been my favorite director and he is a great actor too. I recently bought the DVD of Mighty Aphrodite as I read some good reviews about the movie. Lenny is a sports writer and his wife is Amanda. They don’t have any kids and Amanda …
My big fat greek wedding
My big fat greek wedding is a nice romantic movie and is one of my all time favorite movies. It is basically a love story of a girl and the journey from then to marriage. Finally the movie ends with the wedding of the girl in greek style. Toula …
Movie Enchanted (2007)
Enchanted is a film that mixes the animated world of Disney with real life. The plot focuses on Giselle (Amy Adams), a girl who awaits her prince charming as any star of Disney characters. The Prince Edward (James Marsden) is responsible for fulfilling the dreams of the girl and …
Terminator 3:Rise Of The Machine Movie
This film failed in comparison to the two previous films. Not only did it fail to live up to the other two it introduces a female Terminator with limited technological advancement. The T-1000 of Judgement Day was the best of all Terminators. The conclusion to the trilogy left viewers …
Movies Unlimited
Back in the early 1990’s my sister and I had a resurgence of our love for the music group Abba. For years we had heard their music and loved it but this was such a resurgence that we were practically eating, drinking and sleeping the group. Part of our …
