Wall-E
I took my entire family to see the Pixar movie Wall-E in June, 2008. Wall-E is a spectacular motion picture that is probably the most “adult” of any movie Pixar has released thus far. I say “adult” not because of any inappropriate content - the little robots …
CNN Tribute America Remebers
The CNN Tribute America Remembers is a DVD that a friend of mine gave me shortly after 911 happened. My friend figured I would appreciate it because I was in the National Guard at the time. When 911 happened I had just gotten back from a three week trip …
The Unborn (2009 horror film)
The Unborn is a horror film that I watched one evening after running across the title on the internet movie database. I was interested, even though the description of the film is brief and leaves much to the imagination.
The unborn sounded like it was going to be the spooky …
Funny People (2009) movie
I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.
The main character Ida …
A Real Young Girl (NR, 2001) movie
I was interested in watching all of Catherine Breillat’s films when I saw the movies “Fat Girl” and “Sex is Comedy.” But in watching 2001’s “A Real Young Girl”, I was just left confused. I enjoyed that Breillat supplied viewers with an extremely intimate take on female …
Ready to Rumble (2000)
If you like pro wrestling in any way, shape or form, and this movie is just for you, yup, it is right up your alley and it will or will not prove to be a good thing. As this movie would have it, two sewage workers are extremely upset …
Movie “Ruthless People” (1986)
This movie is a hoot. I remember seeing this film with my parents when I was a kid, but I had not seen it in a few years. The movie stars Danny Devito as Sam, a sleazy clothing manufacturer who married a woman he hates for her father’s …
A League of their own
Years ago we my son and I were at the beach in Ocean City and we became bored. We decided to get out of the hot sun and go see a movie. We saw a film called a League of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks, one of …
Ida (2013 Foreign Film)
Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …
XXX
After a few movies, Vin Diesel became hollywood’s leading man for a hot minute. He was cast in Saving Private Ryan, which was an absolute brilliant movie starring Tom Hanks. And he was also in the Fast and the Furious with Paul Walker. After declining a role in the …
Old School (2003)
I trust that a lot of people have seen this movie and what is worse than just seeing it, you have happened to come across it on the cable networks every now and again, it is my opinion, that whether you see this movie once or on multiple occasions, …
Some Like It Hot

Exhumed Client
I am reviewing the Case of the Exhumed Client, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
The Truman Show
I had planned on going to bed early last night. But, I ended up staying up late anyway because I came across the Truman Show on one of our movie channels.
It was the first time I had seen the movie in years and it was every bit as good …
Entrapment movie
As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.
Sean …
The Mask (movie)
The Mask is a very funny movie. I really liked this movie. I think Jim Carey did a great job in this movie! He is a crazy party animal and he dancing. I really like how he plays with people and messing with them. I also really …

Turner & Hooch, directed by Roger Spottiswoode is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 28, 1989 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime/Thriller and stars Tom Hanks as Detective Scott Turner, Mare Winningham as Dr. …
Flightplan
I watched Flightplan yesterday shown on the local TV channel and it is so good to see such a good actress Jodie Foster, acting once more.
I know that this was a movie that was shown years back but somehow or rather, it is just so good to be …
Summer Scars movie
When I first saw the cover of the dvd, to tell you the truth I didn’t expect anything higher than a movie which could only be described as b-rated. However, when I watched the movie I was more than surprised because I found it was actually quite interesting and …
White Noise movie
This movie stars Micheal Keaton, and I’m pretty sure that it’s classified as a horror flick, perhaps more accurately “thriller”.
The film focuses around EVP (electronic voice phenomenon). Basically, it’s where one records “white noise” from a television set and/or radio, perhaps asking questions they hope to be answered. …
Sex And The City- The Movie (2008)
After all the long anticipation into the final story of the super sucessful show Sex And The City and all the years of talk into making the movie- the final result was more than disappointing.
The show Sex and the City was a real hit. It showed the life of real …
Nishabd
The sheer brilliance of ‘Nishabd’ should render all Ramu’s detractors speechless. He once again proves himself to be the master of the craft. He did it with the spunky ‘Rangeela’; his gritty essays on the underworld; ‘Bhoot’; ‘Sarkar’ and now with ‘Nishabd’, RGV once again establishes why celluloid is …
Ghost Ship Movie
Ghost Ship is a horror movie that I really love, even though the movie itself isn’t really that scary. The first time I saw it was when it was playing in the theater, and I’ve had the chance to see it a few more times since then. Every time …
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past movie
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a 2009 release, stars Matthew McConaughey and it’s positively brilliant. Okay, so it’s a revamped version of Scrooge, but a good story is a good story. In fact, there’s a moment at the end when McConaughey’s character teases just a bit about …
Shakespeare in Love,1998 movie
This movie is typical Hollywood fluff, with overdone “passion” and sexing. The storyline is okay; it could have been a decent movie if it was done right. Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is struggling with a writing crisis, he thinks he has lost his gift and searches for a …
Saw V
Saw V is the second movie in the series where James Wan had nothing to do with, this time they got a new director, David Hackl. The movie was released around Halloween again, a year after the last. While not as pathetic as Saw IV this film is pathetic, …
Enchanted movie
I watched this movie with my sister recently. Overall it was an alright movie, we both got bored and uninterested in the movie. I feel like it dragged on forever and was way too long. There were a couple of funny parts in the movie that she liked. My …
Fast Food Nation
Everyone already knows that fast food is bad for you. When it comes to movies, Supersize Me covered that quite thoroughly. But what if that hamburger wasn’t just packed with calories, but also possibly contained something far worse? That’s the premise, on the surface at least, of Fast Food …
Drag Me to Hell
For a catchy title, I don’t really find this movie that scary at all. My boyfriend loves it though. Drag Me to Hell has its fair share of horror but I don’t think I enjoy the movie very much. The curse plot looks good in the beginning …
School of Rock (movie)
When School of Rock came to theaters a few years ago, I enjoyed it so much that I saw it two nights in a row with different people. I didn’t pay for it myself either time, but that’s beside the point. The reason I could see it …
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
Peach Girl Manga
Peach Girl is about a girl named Momo who is in high school and is often mistaken for a “playgirl” because of her bleached hair and tan skin. She also has a fiery temper but is very kind and caring. Her so called friend Sae, has pure white skin …

One of the most anticipated movies this year. With a huge celebrity line up from Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe to Common. This movies deserves all its appreciation and glory. The movie is about New York Harlem F.B.I
squad which is supposed to crack down on drugs and harm to …
Street Kings (2008) movie
Well Keanu Reeves is back again and I have to say he seems exactly the same. His acting skills being minimal but I try to get past that to watch the movie. The story for me was really complicated so I am just going to try and lay out …
40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …
Across the Universe Movie
The husband and I recently watched the movie “Across the Universe”. I had been looking forward to it for quite awhile since I am a big Beatles fan. We were not disapointed and I was pleased to see my husband get so into a musical.
Previews of the …
Velvet Revolver live in houston DVD
I bought the Velvet Revolver dvd live in Houston at FYI and that band totally rocked that show which was filmed in 2004 in some large theater. The band seemed like they were really tight that night and had a great time jamming. I particularly enjoyed watching Slash play …
How the West Was Won
How the West Was Won is an epic motion picture with some really great scenery. The cinematography is outstanding. It’s a star studded cast which brings to life the story of the movement west. It begins in St. Joseph, Missouri, the jumping off point for all …
Greenberg (2010 movie)
This is a movie that I really got roped into seeing. My friend was very interested in seeing it, and he basically insisted that I had to see it with him. I had never even heard of it, so I had absolutely no idea what it was about. So …
The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …
Wilderness (R, 2006) movie
If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …
When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …
Eastern Promises
Eastern Promises is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is about a Russian gang in London and how the Russian mafia deals with things. It has wonderful cinematography, that is the way the movie is filmed is fantastic. It is sickeningly violent at times, …
Hide and Seek
Hide and seek starring Robert De Niro and Dakota Fanning is a gripping thriller that will surprise and entertain. The story is about a widower (De Niro) and his daughter (Fanning) who moves to the country to try to build a new life after his wife commits suicide. …
DVD Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?
Warning: You may want to take an aspirin before reading this review.
In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …
UnBreakable
UnBreakable was a really cool movie. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson did a great job in this movie. I think that the characters were really good in this film. I was very impressed with all the special effects in the movie and everything else. I thought this movie was …

Hayden Christenson (Star Wars) stars as Clay, a wealthy, good-looking, youthful billionaire. At primary glance Clay emerges to have it all; a gorgeous girlfriend (Sam played by Jessica Alba), great friends (amid them Dr. Harper played through Terrance Howard) money however not all is as it looks. Clay, above …
Anthony Kaun Hai (movie) August, 2006
The movie Anthony Kaun Hai released on 4th of August, 2006. The meaning if the title of the film is Who Is Anthony in English. The movie has been directed by Raj Kaushal. It is a pretty stupid and complicating film. The lead actors of the film are Sanjay …
