Marley & Me (2008) Movie
I liked the movie, ‘Marley & Me’ because it’s the story of a family that learns lessons important for life from their naughty and obsessed dog. Although I found the movie to be very beautiful and quite heart warming, there were scenes that were sensitive and touching too. The …

Revenge of the Bridesmaids Movie (2010)
This was a cute little made for tv movie. It is intended for a younger audience if I had to guess. I would say it is appropriate for the ages 8 and up. It has little inappropriate humor, no bad language and only a …
“Drag Me To Hell” (2009 Film)
If you are in the mood for a scary movie to give you goose bumps and make you want to shut your eyes, then the 2009 film “Drag Me to Hell” is not for you. While the movie was a little creepy, it was also fairly pointless, leaving me …

The Last King of Scotland (R, 2006) movie
Forrest Whitaker is a genius in this movie. I knew just from seeing the trailer that this film was going to be terrific. The previews didn’t lie. In fact, the film was better than I expected. The story of Idi Amin is interesting, …
Disney’s Pinocchio
Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …

Feature film “The Switch”
I am only sort of a romantic comedy fan. You can usually predict what will happen in the end and that bores the heck out of me. I did see the ending coming, it was predictable and trite, but the movie was still ok. Jennifer …
The Truman Show
Fifteen years ago, what takes place in this movie would have seemed impossible. Today, with all kinds of reality shows imaginable, it is eerily realistic. The main character, a young man named Truman (Jim Carrey), is an unsuspecting star of a big reality show. Since his birth, he had …

I had never seen this movie until I met my wife and …
Movie Public Enemies
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan, and also love historically-based movies.

Kung Fu Panda
I was really excited about this movie right before it was shown in theaters. Because just the thought of a Panda doing Kung Fu? his weight, clumsiness, and incredibly large tummy and the dream of becoming a Kung Fu master.It’s quite hilarious right?How would someone be doing Kung Fu …
Movie Cold Case
Though there are no stars, Cold Case has an effective chemistry in its cast selection. Out of the multitude of cop shows, this show is unique in its absence of angry detectives that seem to be prevalent. Also, the use of flashbacks is well practiced and keeps …
Snakes On A Plane Movie
Snakes On A Plane is a movie that I actually like. I missed out on all the hoopla surrounding the movie, and never visited any of the spoiler sites, or the blogs that followed the movie’s progress so I didn’t have any expectations going into the movie. All I …

The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
My Sister’s Keeper movie
This movie review contains spoilers.
I saw Cameron Diaz on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ talking about her role in the upcoming film ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ and couldn’t wait to see it. Usually I don’t like watching movies that look too sad, especially about children with cancer, but Cameron’s character …
Deja Vu
The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …

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 …
Bridge to Terabithia
I watched Bridge to Terabithia ready to get bored and be repulsed with the little knowledge I have about the film. Thanks to false advertising (equivalent to the preview showing the CGI effects), my impression on the film beforehand was that it was going to be another-kiddy-fantasy knock-off.
Still, I …

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.
