High School Musical is a Disney Channel Movie which is a big hit and I can totally see why. This was the first time I encountered a picture which was a musical directed at the teenager age category and they did a genius job with the movie.
I like that …
Movie: Biloxi Blues
I am not a huge Matthew Broderick fan but I ended up watching one of his movies last night; Biloxi Blues; mostly because I was in the mood for a good war movie.
Unfortunately for me, this film just wasn’t that good.
I loved Christopher Walken in this movie as the …
In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …

Snow Angels
I don’t really even know where to begin with this movie. I don’t know what to say about it. Overall it was an alright movie, I liked some part of it and I didn’t like some part of it. I think for the most part I didn’t like the …
The Age of Adaline Movie
There are just some books that should not be made as movies, and The Age of Adaline was one of those books. I never read the book myself and after watching the movie I probably will do my best to go out of my way just to avoid it in …
Legend of Zorro movie

Scooby Doo and the Loch Ness Monster

Legend of the Red Dragon-Jet Li

Darkness Falls
There are very few “horror” movies on the market that truly scare me. Darkness Falls is a movie that makes me want to sleep with my lights on.

Chronicles of Narnia, one big bore
When the Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe came out, I remember wanting to go see it at the theater only to find it was always sold out. Now that I’ve seen it on DVD, I’m glad I didn’t waste my money.
I’m not really sure …

Nurse Betty
Nurse Betty with Renee Zellweger, Morgan Freeman, Chris Rock, and Greg Kinnear.
The movie was excellent primarily because of the all star cast. Zellweger is not great looking, but her on screen wholesomeness shines through to make her really desirable. Morgan Freeman plays a hired …
That Touch of Mink movie
From 1962, That Touch of Mink pairs Doris Day with the debonair Cary Grant. For me, this has always been somewhat of an odd couple, but it made for a good motion picture, never the less. There certainly are a lot of reasons to enjoy this entertaining …
Happy Feet Movie
Australian Director’s Animated Comedy ‘Happy Feet’ can best be described as just a fun, somewhat funny, family comedy. Lets clear from the very beginning, that while this film did win the Best Animated Film Oscar, it is not exactly the most satisfying movie experience. There is not much in …
The Heartbreak Kid
I’m a Ben Stiller fan so I’ve seen almost all his films. I love him most in Meet the Parents and hated him in Zoolander. I must say that I didn’t really like his latest movie The Heartbreak Kid, a remake of a 1972 comedy. Directed by the Farrelly …

Movie Spoilers
I had went to see the movie “Cloverfield” just yesterday. I had read spectacular reviews and the movie has been hyped on the internet for quite some time now. The trailers seemed particularly interesting.
My only worry of this movie would be that it would be highly similar to …
The Illusionist
The best thing this movie had going for it was the cast. Top rated actors putting on exceptionally fine performances kept this movie from being confused with its contemporary counterpart. The Prestige. Edward Norton always does well, no matter what role he plays. He is what I call an …
Frozen Fever (2015 Animated Short Film)
After over a year, the long awaited sequel to the smash hit Frozen has finally arrived and I have to say that it is a major disappointment.
The story is awfully slight and I know that they couldn’t do much in 7 minutes, but this is too slight regardless. The birthday …

Movie The Last House on the Left

Harry Potter Movie: Goblet of Fire
As a fan of the Harry Potter series, I have to admit some disappointment in the movies. There has been no continuity in environment. To their credit, most of the main characters have remained the same, which makes the recognition factor easier.
Yet, from one movie to the next, Hogwarts …
The Godfather Movie
A film I consider to be one of the best films ever made is “The Godfather,” made in 1972 and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …

Petals in The Wind (Lifetime movie)
I was a huge fan of VC Andrews’ Dollanganger book series, especially a little after I read them as a teenager. While I loved Flowers in the Attic, I thought that Petals in the Wind rivalled it in drama, sensuality and the taboo. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement …

Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …
