Movie The Pursuit of Happiness
When I first saw previews to the Pursuit of Happiness, I figured it was going to be a tear jerker but would ultimately be a boring film. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
Will Smith has attempted to do inspirational films before and has failed. He struck gold in …

Blood Diamond movie
I’m not a big fan of Leonardo DiCaprio eventhough he is one of Hollywood’s hottest and most sought-after actors. Not until I saw Blood Diamond. This movie made me his no. 1 fan. I saw Titanic and Romeo and Juliet which didn’t really showcase his acting prowess. But I …

Johnny Depp plays the roll of Sam, an accentric young man who falls in love with Joon, played by Mary Stuart Masterson, a young woman who lost touch with reality after her parents died. The movie is a clean, fun and enjoyable film to watch. A feel good story …
Wolf Movie
I love werewolf movies. But, until last night, I had never seen the 1994 film, Wolf.
Well, I finally got a chance to see it and found it really wasn’t worth the wait.
Jack Nicholson is pretty decent as a business man who gets bit by a wolf and starts turning …
Sean Penn’s Indian Runner. A Movie
I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Love Actually movie
I normally hate watching romance films, but since my friend fooled me that the actor Orlando Bloom was in the movie I ended up watching the movie to the end and feeling very annoyed and disappointed after as he obviously never appeared. The only thing which comforted me a …

Most people dream of winning the lottery or going on a long vacation? Chris McCandless dreamed of living in the wild and made 100% sure that nothing and no one got in the way from making his dream come true.
“Into the Wild” is a true story of Chris McCandless …
Brubaker movie
Robert Redord stars as Brubaker, an unconventional warden who wants to bring reform to the prison system. He’s met with disapproval from just about everyone, including the inmates, but he remains true to his vision.
My favorite scene is the beginning, when Redford as Henry Brubaker first enters the …

Meet The Parents (Film)
Meet The Parents is a comedy starring Ben Stiller which focuses on the basic story of a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend’s parents for the first time in a weekend stay. I’ll add that this isn’t the typical weekend stay, as everything that can go wrong, basically does go wrong. …
Birdman, movie (2014)
Yesterday I saw the movie Birdman. Those who expect it to be another action film with superheroes or, on the contrary, a monotonous story about the main character’s crisis with an emphasis on art house, existential experiences with a hidden meaning will be disappointed.
A film with its own twist, …
Blockbuster Online
Can I start by saying “Waste of money.”
I can sum up the review in that one sentence, but let me be more specific.
For several months I was subscribed to Blockbuster online and can tell you that it was a terrible service.
Here’s why:
Out of Order. I am a devoted movie …
Movie: The Ultimate Gift
“The Ultimate Gift” is such a good movie, I don’t know where to start reviewing it! The plot is excellent. We’ve got a wealthy old man Red, who leaves a rather unusual will. Before he dies, Red records a series of video messages. In those messages, he talks mostly …

The Vow Movie
One of my favorite actors is Channing Tatum and when it comes to actress, it should be Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Kate Hudson. I enjoyed the film Mean Girls not because of Lindsay Lohan but because of the contentious character of Rachel McAdams. I became a loyal fan …

Night of the Living Dead, horror film by Tom Savini

Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
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 …

Halloween By: Rob Zombie

Pirates of the carebean

Knocked up
This movie starring Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl as Alison Scott and Seth Rogan (Cal from the 40 year old virgin)as Ben was hilarious. Alison goes out clubbing to celebrate a promotion at work, she meets up with Ben and they have a one night stand. …
Memento movie
The beginning of Memento did little to impress me. It was confusing and I was concerned from the start that it just wasn’t going to be my kind of movie. The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard, who is suffering from short-term memory loss and is after …

“The Inside Man” is …
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …
Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s baaaaack! Tim Burton’s classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is back, better than ever- and now in 3-D!

I love watching Just My Luck pretty much and Lindsay Lohan plays the role of Ashley and she is a very much lucky person as it is. Everywhere she goes, people like her, she gets the most amazing gifts of all and friends that are supportive and everything. …
Spinout movie
I’ve watched Spinout numerous times in my life, and I both like it and dislike it. I’ll say straight up that the reason I’m not fond of it is that I don’t like the ending. From the time I first saw it as a little girl, I …
