First Harry Potter Movie
The movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, directed by Chris Columbus, is a great movie! First of all, I am a huge Harry Potter fan who has read all of these books over and over and over, so while excited about the movies, I was also nervous about …
The Sentinel movie
When the actor, Michael Douglas chooses to do a thriller, 99.9% it is a guarantee that is going to be a good one. “The Sentinel” confirms this theory. Douglas involvement in this project is simply great. His on screen sparks with Kiefer Sutherland are a guarantee to make you …
The Grudge Movie
The movie The Grudge is one of the best new scary movies to come out recently. I did enjoy the movie. Although I must say it’s very similar to The Ring. The reason I saw this is because both of the dead people who come back to kill were …
Eternal Sunshine, The Teflection of Eternal Love
The complete title of the movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This is quite unusual romance movie, though the main idea of this one is truly amazing. Starring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet, who turned out are able to be wonderful couple here. And directed by Michael …
Noah’s Ark (1999)
With all due respect to Mr. John Voight and Miss Mary Steenburgen I like them both because they are very good actor and actress. I never doubted their talents after all these years I have watched their movies; however, I really did not like one of the movies …

After Life Movie
After life is the movie that left me guessing and I couldn’t sleep after watching it. Is Christina Ricci really dead there or alive? Was Liam Neeson a good guy who speaks to the dead or some psycho creep that kills people who don’t deserve to live, like what …
Lady and the Tramp movie
A classical tale of boy meets girl or in this case boy dog meets girl dog. Showing the early years of Lady’s life, growing up in a respectable part of town, living the blue collar life. On the other side of the fence, we see the freelance life of …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.
Truth be told, I can see why people weren’t digging this movie. I downright …
Untraceable
Everyone I know uses the Internet so I can understand how it can become an obsession. So, when I picked up the movie Untraceable, about a Web site that feeds off viewer ship and murders people, I really could relate.
What made the movie Untraceable believable is the fact everything …
Breaking the waves movie
The danish director Lars von Trier has been hailed as a master of cinema and won many prizes on the Cannes film festival the last 15 years. To me he is a very overrated filmmaker who never really managed to develop his own cinematic expression that couldn’t be mistaken …
The FBI Story movie
The FBI Story is a really wonderful movie starring James Stewart as a man who decides to become an FBI agent. He has high ideals and he wants to act on them. These are the early days of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and through Stewart’s character, …

Movie Christina’s House
Christina’s House is the kind of movie that I shouldn’t like, but somehow I do. It’s the movie that I keep telling my friends to watch, even though they’ve seen it and hated it. I have to admit that the movie is pretty cheesy, but I still somehow find …
“A Royal Affair” movie
Denmark, during the 1700s was the place where the French Revolutionary war was inspired by way of “The Enlightenment”. The concepts of Rousseau and that of Voltaire came to the forefront in Denmark by way of Doctor Johann Struensee. Struensee was a physician originating from Germany; hired …
Avatar: The Legend of Aang
I never really loved cartoons, but this animation series got me hooked! I’m talking about “Avatar: The Legend of Aang”. For people who are hearing this title for the first time, the series is about a world ruled by 4 nations(fire, earth, water and air), living in peace until …
Nature vs. Nurture
Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …
Movie Silence of the Lambs
Rob and I like movies, we like old movies and new ones each contains a quality that is unique to thereselves. I like food movies and thrillers one such movie is Silence of the Lambs.
In this movie there are two really good actors, Anthony Hopkins, portrays Dr …
Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell)
Bear with me, because I have to type these 3 names because they are amazing. I watched Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) the other day and it was super hilarious. There can never be a movie close to it, except for movies starring …
The Painted Veil
The Painted Veilis one of those movies that pull son your heart and evokes emotions you thought dead. It’s a story of two lovers, married for the wrong reasons, end up in the middle of a cholera epidemic in China. Somehow, in themidst of tradgedy and pain, the must …

The Green Hornet, Blu-ray Superhero action comedy film
Who is to blame for the Green Hornet movie? Can we blame director Michel Gondry for coming back to the project after he rejected it back in 1997? Or can we blame all of the countless delays that start with writers bailing out to simple crew members? Maybe we …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …
Movie Bandidas
I had hesitated to watch the movie “Bandidas” at first because it starred two actresses whose acting “talent” tends to be very overrated most of the time. Another reason why I hesitated to watch it too was because it first appeared to me as one of those movies starring …
Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier: A Movie
My kids were raised reading comic books, and since my husband likes them I have come to appreciate Marvel movies. My husband’s favotire character is Captain American and we have seen nearly every movie that has come out. The most recent movie that we watched (or rather rented) was …
Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail movie
Tyler Perry Made goes to jail is one of the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. I really had a great time watching all of it. It’s hilarious to see Tyler dressing up as a woman. She’s wearing this women outfit and she acts like a man. …
“The Tale of Despereaux” (2008 Film)
The 2008 animated, family film, “The Tale of Despereaux” was filled with adorable characters and a story line that is fun and heartwarming for the entire family. If you have not yet seen this film, then I strongly urge, no matter what your age is, that you plan on …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …
The Quiet American
I had not heard about the movie “The Quiet American” until I had seen it under an actor’s imdb profile. Thus after reading the description of it I decided to watch it for myself since it sounded like something I would probably like. I think it also portrays the …
Ghost Dad movie
This is known as one of the worst films that Bill Cosby was in .This is ironic sense it was directed by Sidney Poitier who is known to be a great producer.Why did the movie get the bad rap that it did.
The main thing thats wrong with this movie …
Mr Death movie
Errol Morris is one of my favorite documentary filmmakers. This time he tells the story of a strange man who verifies the quality of electric chairs for a living, hence the title. But he was also controversial for another reason. He was given a mission to travel to a …
Movie: Doubt
I have finished watching a movie with my mom and my brother last night. The movie is called “Doubt”. Starring Meryll Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The movie started and ended in the same location - the parish and the school run by Meryll Streep as the …
Fantastic Four (Movie 2005)
What a complete croc…in other words, it’s utter CRAP!!! Characters were under-developed and unconvincing, storyline was dumn and hard to follow, CGI was poorly done and, oh yeah, it’s CRAP (did I say that already?). It makes no sense wasting words to describe how terrible this movie is, so, …
Unleashed movie

The Bourne Identity movie
Matt Damon stars as a killer…hmmm, where has this ever been done before. While this film could have been a great film, it fails to deliver the goods. I was left wanting no more after it was all said and done with. The characters were robotic and no life …
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
This movie is the story of your average turtle who, while trekking through the green ooze, managed to gain life beyond that of your normal turtle. As they grew, they were taken in by the master, a giant rat named Splinter, and he trained them in the ways of …
Sex and the City movie
I watched the movie of Sex and the city on one of the movie channels recently. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I don’t generally like the show sex and the city but the movie was pretty good. It had a lot …
Crimson Peak (2015 Gothic Horror Movie)
I love Gothic Horror movies, Guillermo Del Toro, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston and so it was a given that I definitely had to see the movie Crimson Peak once it was released. I read both good and bad reviews about it, and so I wasn’t totally sure what to …
Sin City (2005)
The 2005 film, Sin City, is based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller who also co-directed along with Robert Rodriguez. I can imagine that anyone who is a fan of such graphic novels will appreciate this film a lot more than I did, although I did find …
A Lot Like Love,movie
A Lot Like Love stars Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. Its about a couple that have a very casual relationship and their relationships with other and each other over the years. Its a little slow at times but Ashton Kutcher keeps the story interesting. I give …
Movie Red Eye
Although most of the setting of this movie takes place on a plane it was still interesting to watch. I enjoyed watching the whole movie. It’s about a stranger who comes up to this lady and threatens her about her father and wants her to kill someone. Basically if …
Rocky Balboa
As You all know there is a few films about Rocky (Silvester Stalone), but I think this is a last one. All of those films about Rocky are some kind the same. but every time I watch one of them it always touch my heart so is this film.
Years …
Pirates 3
I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …
Vanilla Sky movie
A remake of the dazzling spanish film that came out a few years earlier called Abre los ojos (Open your eyes). The narrative is very complex and tells the story of a handsome man who’s life completely twists around when he is involved in a car accident. The audience …
The Big Fight (1972)
There’s really no doubt in my mind that Martial Arts movies rock. They’re creative, invigorating, and can make anyone who watches them sit on the edge of their seat, their heart pounding as two men fight fist to fist, or blade to blade. I find them to be a …
Inception Movie
A day before watching the movie “Inception” by Christopher Nolan (the director of the Dark Knight trilogy) something happened to me very strange - I dreamed that I dream about dreaming. The next night I barely slept. I say all this because normally I have troubles sleeping and this …
Movie: Planet 51
I have seen several previews for the movie Planet 51 and thought it would be a movie that wouldn’t be nearly as good as advertised.
I was right about this.
The movie, which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of an astronaut who lands on a mysterious planet only to discover …
Youth of the beast movie
This is an old Yakuza (japanese gangster movie) from the 1960s. Director Seijun Suzuki reveals a most violent movie for that age, which reminds a lot of John Woo movies from the 80s, so it’s clear where the inspiration came from. The cinematography is beautiful in color, the acting …
Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
The Christmas Dinosaur
Since we are past Thanksgiving and officially in the Holiday season, I allowed my daughter to finally watch some Christmas movies I loaded on the Netflix player. One of them was The Christmas Dinosaur.
The movie turned out to be somewhat farfetched and predictable but was still an enjoyable animated …
