My Sister’s Keeper (the book and movie)
My Sister’s Keeper is a novel by Jodi Piccoult and a movie recently released on DVD. I try to make a concentrated effort to read a book before watching it on film because it is never as good on film. I have to admit that while reading …
The Stag - 2013 Movie
Hi there! So today, I will be giving you another review about a movie entitled The Stag (or Bachelor’s Weekend). So a quick intro for this movie is that one of its cast is Andrew Scott. Anyone there a Scotty? Well, I sure am! So that’s why I decided to …
Movie: 2 Fast 2 Furious
Synopsis: This sequel to the movie The Fast and The Furious sees Paul Walker’s character (now no longer a cop) helping out the customs department in an effort to bust a drug dealer with the help of one of his friends.
What I liked about this movie: Much like the …
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 …
The Corsican Brothers
The Corsican Brothers stars Cheech and Chong. It takes place during the 1800’s in France. The brothers feel each other’s pain and not their own pain. They try to start a revolution and overthrow the evil and oppressive Fuckaire.
First off, The Corsican Brothers has no pot …
Love Actually movie
Love Actually is a great Christmas movie, and I watch it every year. The movie has a huge cast and features many big names, like Hugh Grant, as the British Prime Minister, Colin Firth, as a writer trying to deal with heartache of finding his wife in bed with …
Terminator Salvation
This is the 4th installment of the terminator franchise. I have always loved all the terminator series specially California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the part of the terminator. I was really not sure what to expect with new Terminator movie since Arnold is no longer part of the …
Delta Farce
This movie wasn’t all that good. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie but nothing was really funny. Nothing in the film made me laugh. Overall it was alright but I didn’t really like it. I didn’t care for it. I wouldn’t recommend it to hardly …
Movie Swan Princess
I decided to sit down and watch a movie with my daughter yesterday before she took her nap. After some discussion (I really did not want to watch another Scooby Doo movie), we ended up watching The Swan Princess. I didn’t know what to expect at first, but it …
The Cider House Rules movie
I rented this movie because of Michael Caine, and, as usual, he does a good job as Dr. Larch who runs a children’s home/hospital in Maine. One of the boys, Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire) grows up in the orphanage to be a young man and is has been trained …
Gladiator
“Gladiator” is the director’s, Ridley Scott blogbuster that made the then unknown actor, Russell Crowe a much sought out actor in Hollywood. It is a true pity that, although this movie won 5 Oscars, Scott failed to win the best director category. He was very much disappointed for not …
Hitman
I am not a fan of action movies, however I read a lot about how good the movie “Hitman” is that I definitly had to watch it and I assure I wasn’t disappointed at all! This movie is jambacked with actions and the storyline is so good that …
Die Hard 4.0 Movie Starring Bruce Willis
For me, Bruce Willis will always be the godfather of action films and he just simply has a way of playing his role sole well that whenever I see him in a different setting, outside of a film and in an interview, it has a certain unnaturalness about it …
Movie Four Christmases
Four Christmases is an excellent movie I saw in theatres. It is a romantic comedy, with a bigger emphasis on the comedy. I really enjoyed it and I think most people would as well. It is a great film to see with a couple, family, or with friends. It …
27 Dresses (2008)
Here we go again, yet another dull, boring and dreary chick flick to torture the living daylights out of you and leave you wondering why the hell do developers keep putting such utter rubbish on the silver screen, but worst, why do people pay good money to go and …
Movie Children of the Corn
I can’t remember the first time I saw Children of the Corn, but I know that it scared the daylights out of me. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, the same doesn’t hold true. Honestly I’m not sure if it’s because the film is older, or …
The Wedding Planner
In the DVD movie I’ve watched, The Wedding Planner, it starred the unlikely duo; Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey.
Jennifer’s character plays a pretty successful wedding planner and I really like her witty dialogs. Though you might be wondering that perhaps Jennifer and Matthew’s characters wouldn’t fit together …
Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …
Annabelle (2014 Film)
I was prompted to watch Annabelle, after watching the conjuring and seeing the brief glimpses of the character in the movie, I was instantly interested.
When going in to watch this movie, I already had my ideas and expectations pretty much set. As with any horror movie, I was going in …
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 …
The Amazing Spider Man 2 movie
When the first series of Spiderman movies came out in the early 2000’s, my husband and I were quick to go see them. However, after the first two it became more of a run on series rather than a well thought out movie series. It was my exhaustion …
What Happens in Vegas
It seems that the couple, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher really works because thousands of people went to the cinema to watch “What Happens in Vegas” during the first weeks when thi movie was released.
What is so great about “What Happens in Vegas” that made it such a huge …
Greystone Inscription

Marie Antoinette (2006)
I always support the movie with female director and that’s why I was attracted to see this movie when the first time I know that Sofia Coppola has a new movie about Marie Antoinette.
As the beginning, I just want you to know that I love the trailer of this …

Living The Dream
Another drama movie that I have watched would be Living the Dream. This is about making a change in life kind of story, but having some form of hindrance at the same time.
It tells about Brenda, and Jonathan, an immigrant person. Both of them grew up from …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …
Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal (movie)
The first time when I saw “Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal” was a couple years ago when it first premiered on the cable television station Lifetime. At the time, I had mistaken it for another movie sharing a similar name, but when I watched it, even though I …

So I decided to purchase the movie Saw V and see if its better than the previous ones! I have seen the other 4 and have liked them, and now I can say the same about the fifth installment of this movie!
Im going to briefly to describe the plot …
Movie I am legend
This movie couldn’t have been any better. I loved it. I think will smith did an amazing job especially with him being the only actor in it. You would think that it would have got boring and lost my interest with only one actor and not a whole lot …
Barbie Butterfly
Not only are my little nephews and nieces get psyched about the animated Barbie Butterfly, in fact, I do too. And you have a few flying butterfly characters of a Barbie beauty or should I say Barbie Butterfly. The main character is Mariposa, and she is a very …

The notebook movie is based on novel …
Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …
Amstar Stadium 24 Movie Theaters
I enjoy going to the movies with friends and family. Lately my fiancé and I decided to try a new movie theater. We always pass Amstar Entertainment in Anderson and decided to try that one for our Friday date night. We looked up their theater online …
Robots Movie
This creative and somewhat inspiring computer animated story would have been better without certain types of humor. As I’ve already said in my review of both Shreks, farting, in my opinion, is not funny but disgusting, and shouldn’t be on the screen. As to the story itself, it’s all …
Turner & Hooch
Tom Hanks is one of the finest actors hollywood has ever seen. He proved it by winning two academy awards for his great performances. I recently watched his movie Turner and Hooch on DVD and found the movie very boring and just waste of money and also waste of …
Were the Millers (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for “We’re the Millers” on television, I decided that it looked funny enough for me to see it as a light hearted comedy after it was released. I didn’t think that it would actually be hilarious though since it had actors such as …
Movie Untraceable
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Untraceable, starring Diane Lane and Colin Hanks. So there is this killer. He has a site called kill with me. He traps people and then sets up scenarios to kill them. He tapes everything and puts it online. The more people who …
The Shepard Border Patrol
I admit that I haven’t watched a lot of Jean Claude Van Damme’s movies. If I have to see a bunch of men jumping, kicking and screaming, I choose to see it through a comic aspect, so I go for a Jackie Chen movie. I broke my rule for …

Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” movie
Imagine… Back before engines or high speed communication, where battle is done with metal blades and crude and cruel superstitions serve as the voice of both law and medical science, you give a decade of your life traveling far from home to fight the enemies of your religion. After so …
The Game Plan
I am definitely convinced that The Rock could really act in comedy movies. One of the proofs for that? The movie, The Game Plan. This is indeed a good feel movie story to watch, especially if you did catch it in the cinemas before with your whole …
