Movies Reviews
The Proposal movie
Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …

Movie: Superhero Movie

I have seen a lot of “spoof” movies in the past and have had mixed opinions about them. Most of them …

In the first James Bond film with Roger Moore as the popular british agent he is given the mission to investigate some mysterious murders and is finally lead to the evil diplomat Katanga. I have to admit I found this film rather boring for a Bond film. There are …

The Dark Knight
Just having watched the movie “The Dark Knight”, I’d say Heath Ledger is a wonderful actor! He did a great job pulling of the character of Joker in the movie. He is brilliant, and I always knew he is a good one when I saw his previous movies, but …
March of the Penguins documentary

The Movie Alice In Wonderland

Sex InThe City-Complete Series Gift Set
For a little under $200, you can own every single episode of Sex in the City ever made. This television show was highly popular on HBO for many years, and at one point was the only reason I subscribed to cable in my home.
This are great episodes to watch …
The Object of My Affection
I don’t know what it is about Jennifer Aniston movies but they always seem to be extremely depressing; even when they are billed as comedies.
The movie “The Object of My Affection” probably was meant to be a drama. If it wasn’t, then they really screwed up if they thought …
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …
Disturbia movie
My cable company is giving us the movie channels for the weekend for free. So I have been watching movies on them lately, at least the ones I haven’t seen already. I was going to watch disturbia when it came out and then I totally forgot about it and …
Envy the Movie
I watched this movie with my family, but it did not turn out being a very friendly film for families. I wish that it was a better one for us to have watched, but at the same time, it was funny, and kids are used to hearing bad language …

10,000 B.C.
I am very upset with this movie for a lot of reasons. It was one not depicted in that time by any since of the word and all the so called actors were speaking perfect English. I don’t see how this could have gotten even a decent rating for …
Two Weeks Notice (2002)
Two Weeks Notice is a movie starring two of hollywoods’ heavy hitters in that of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. The plot of this movie has been done so many times over and over it starts to become so repetative, but just like a bad song that you just …

Mamma Mia!
A few months ago, my wife went to the movie theater to see the movie Mamma Mia! She came back telling me it was the best film ever. So, last night, I sat down to watch it with her on DVD.
She exaggerated. It was good, but it was far …
Movie I’m Not There
Bob Dylan is hard to explain in a few words, consequently why not have six unlike people portray him in the movie “I’m Not There”. This is what writer director Todd Haynes made. You might recognize his movie Far From Heaven starring Julianne Moore. The characters played through the …

500 Days of Summer (2009 Movie)
Okay, 500 Days of Summer was not exactly my choice of a movie. The trailers didn’t look that appealing…but at least they were honest.
The movie was watch-able. I suppose it’s possible to believe that it’s a relationship from a guys point of view, but I really don’t see guys …
West Side Story
Who can forget the wonderful musical, West Side Story? No one that I know. This is Romeo and Juliet brought to us on the streets of New York. It’s vibrant and colorful, and yet it’s just as tragic as the Shakespearean love birds previously mentioned.
Natalie Wood …
Gridiron Gang
I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …

The Prestige (PG-13, 2006) movie
This was an interesting movie. Not quite what I expected. But since I love Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman–so that in and of itself warranted a viewing. However, this is a story that is relayed with care and precision. But I will admit that certain …
Quarantine movie
Quarantine must have been written during the writers strike or at least by a nephew of a producer. How a script like this is green lit makes even a hack like me think I could do better. I don’t know if this was …
E.T., The Extraterrestrial
Disney proved that boy-and-his-dog movies were always popular, as did Lassie. But could boy-and-his-alien work the same way? I believe only if told by the right person. Steven Spielberg was that right person. Continuing in his aliens-are-our-friends vein, he brought us E.T., The Extraterrestrial. This was on of only …
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 …

The Net Movie
This movie offers a rather scary scenario of having your identity controlled - erased and replaced, in fact - by someone else, with the help of the modern-day technology. Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock), a computer expert, comes into possession of a floppy disk with some valuable and secret info. …
The Other Guys (2010)
To be frank, 2010 hasn’t been a great year for comedy. Most of the billed “comedy” movies have been stale and unfunny, and the ones that are occasionally funny are better characterized as dramas. While The Other Guys isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, it is the funniest movie of the …
Hero (2004) Movie
A movie about a plot to kill the emperor…now where has this been done before?? The use of colours in this movie is overdone and it makes the movie confusing as well. Each different explanation of a particular story brings a different colour in play…what are the colours trying …
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Final Fantasy is always famous for its in-game cg movie, but can we really expect it to be a great movie if it’s only a full time in-game cg without gameplay? Yes, Final Fantasy VII proved that. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is the second cg movie done …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
OK, maybe it’s because I’ve never read the comic book but this is probably the tenth time I’ve tried to watch the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and, try as I might, I just can’t seem to get through the entire movie.
I’m sure the concept of a crime fighting …
Pearl Harbor The Movie
I was never much for history, but I do love a good old fashioned romance which is exactly what this is. I loved this movie more than I originally thought I would and was glad I spent the money to see it in the theaters. And here’s …
