A Doll’s House (1973)
I like movies based on plays, they usually have more depth to them. A Doll�s House, 1973, starring Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom, is one such movie. Action fans will probably find it slow and boring, but I enjoyed the excellent performance by both leading actors. The story takes …
High Crimes
I bought this movie after seeing it at goodwill for 25 cents. It was a VHS tape but since I had never seen it before, and I still have a VCR I figured for 25 cents I could watch it.
Yesterday I was kind of bored after doing all …
High School Musical 2 movie
With the enormous success of High School Musical, Disney quickly made a sequel called appropriately enough High School Musical 2. Not messing with success, it’s basically the same cast, led by teen almost-sensations, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The movie starts as summer break is about to …
Princess Diaries Movie
When this movie came out, Anne Hathaway was pretty young. She was playing a sixteen year old who has no idea that she is a princess in a royal court. In school, she is not popular at all. She has really frizzy afro-like hair and the only person she …

“The Avengers” (2012 film)
I went to see “The Avengers” with mixed expectations-I saw it in 3D, and was prepared for lots of the visual spectacle you would hope for from a superhero blockbuster. But the last film I saw in 3D was “Avatar,” which is a case study on how stunning visuals …
Man with the Twisted Lip
I am reviewing the Man with the Twisted Lip, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. In this episode, Holmes is hired by the wife of a man who has seemed to have been murdered. …
Push
I think that Push the movie is not that bad but not that great either. Honestly speaking, it has some good and bad moments. Child actress Dakota Fanning is charming as always but I find that her role could have been better.
Maybe because this is kind …

Movie Charade (1963)
Perhaps I’d like to call myself an Audrey Hepburn devotee because every time I sit down and watch one of her chick flicks, it gives me yet another reason to dig more on her profile as an actress of several films. Her onscreen portrayals are made known by …
I Love You, Man
I love You, Man is the story of a “bromance.” It features Paul Rudd as Peter, a man on the verge of getting married, but who has no real close male friends to be his best man, and Jason Segel as Sydney Fife, an investor, who happens to be …
Enemy of the State movie
I had always heard about the movie “Enemy of the State” but I had not watched it until a couple weeks ago when I saw the movie being aired on one of my relatives cable television channels. I think the reason why I ignored it at first was probably …
The Kingdom movie
This movie started off kind of slow and boring in the very beginning. When you get into the movie though it is really good. It kept me interested in what was going on. You do kind of have to pay attention to make sure you understand it all, …
Please Give Movie
Please Give is a quiet, intriguing little film.
A couple, Kate and Alex, and their daughter Abby own their New York apartment and the apartment next door. They had bought the other unit from an elderly woman with the understanding that on her death the two apartments would be …
Billy Madison (1995)
Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.
Billy …
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
With the next movie franchise coming out soon, I decided to update myself on the Harry Potter series. Sadly though, I was not as fascinated as I should be with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I loved the book, mind you, but I hated the movie. First …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Close My Eyes (R, 1991) movie
First of all, let the record show that I am in love with Clive Owen. He has this really intense look that he brings to his films. This movie is fairly old. I’d never heard of it before. And when I saw the subject matter, …
Terry Tate Office Line Backer
I was watching youtube at one time because I got curious about the fact some people mentioned the name Terry Tate and it sounded laughter to me. So purposely looked for him over youtube and I got their point. Terry Tate is another fictional character (played by Mighty …
The Weather Man
I am reviewing the movie, The Weather Man, starring Nicolas Cage and Michael Caine. Nicolas Cage plays David Spritz, a Chicago TV meteorologist, whose life is a complete mess. People don’t like his weather reports, as the weather is so unpredictable, and he’s usually wrong during his reports. He’s …
Frozen (2010 movie)
Earlier on this year someone recommended that I watch the suspense movie “Frozen”, which was released in 2010. It took me nearly a week to watch it since I was constantly busy and when I was free I really wasn’t in the mood to do anything else but sleep, …

Runaway Bride (1999)
Runaway Bride, another movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (because who can forget Pretty Woman), features a cast full of recognizable tv actors and actresses. In fact, one of the actors with a small role as a friend of Ike’s is also in Pretty Woman. (I like him, …
Boogeyman Movie
Another pitiful attempt in trying to create a horror movie, why do they even bother, it’s clear to see that they don’t have a clue about scaring people. This film is plagued with alot of misdirection or better yet, no direction at all. If this man is supposed to …
Beyond Betrayal movie
A decade after playing lovers on Emerald Point N.A.S., Richard Dean Anderson and Susan Dey reunited to film this action drama, only this time around Anderson is no nice guy. In fact, this is probably the most violent portrayal I’ve seen of his, and I must be honest. …
Lost Angel movie
At the tender age of six, Margaret O’Brien had top starring billing in 1943’s Lost Angel, a story about a girl dispassionately named Alpha who is raised by a group of scientists without the frills of fun and fairytales. After she’s questioned by a reporter who tells her …
The Expendables movie
“The Expendables” (2010, rated ‘R’) starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li is a terrific action movie perfect for those of us old enough to remember when the original “Rambo,” “Die Hard” and “Terminator” films were in theatres! “The Expendables” is like ‘old home week’ with lots of …
Jonah Hex movie
I just saw Jonah Hex, and my exact thoughts of seeing the movie: “what the?” Jonah Hex is one of those movies where almost all things predictable culminates. The story is about (guess who?) Jonah Hex, a soldier accused of betraying his regimen and killing Jeb Turnbull, his best …
Two Mules For Sister Sara movie
Two Mules For Sister Sara is about a woman and a man on the wild, west frontier, fighting the good fight. Hogan is the man, played by none other than the fantastic Clint Eastwood and Sara is the supposed nun, played by Shirley MacLaine. Hogan finds Sara in a …

The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …
The Color Purple by Steven Spielberg
I never thought that I would ever cry watching a movie. Nevertheless it happened when I see The Color Purple with Whoopie Goldberg and Danny Glover. The movie features a young black girl at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Slavery has long …
‘Deadpool’ Movie
People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …
Till the Clouds Roll By movie
Till the Clouds Roll By is a highly fictionalized account of the life and career of composer Jerome Kern. The sad part of this is that Kern was apparently willing to provide information for this movie, but he died before it even went into production. Thus, because …
Driversapproval.com
I had a troubled credit record and was refused by all car dealers to accept my loan requirement. I was disappointed but when I read about Drivers Approval and I applied to it they approved and sanctioned my car loan. Getting a loan with bad credit history is something …
The First Wives Club
This is probably one of the most hilarious movies I’ve ever watched. I just love Goldie Hawn and how she portrays the part of a nonsensical washed out actress. I could almost relate to Beth Midler and her insatiable appetite for food and sarcasm. Now, as for Diane Keaton, …
Bad Teacher 2011 movie
I was waiting for Bad Teacher to premiere so badly. First of all, I see pictures of Bad Teacher everywhere: on billboards, on bus stops, etc. It keeps on getting in my head everyday. Secondly, the commercials look awesome. It looks absolutely hilarious. Last but not least, I love …
All That Jazz movie

Teacher’s Pet movie
In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …
