I love Johnny Depp and I think that he is just a re3ally versitile actor. He can play all sorts of rolls and keep you involved with the movie. I also like Stephen King as an autor and the combination of a Stephen King novel and a …

I am a huge fan of Harry Potter. The books and the movies were all important part of my childhood. The reason why I am into reading today is probably because the Harry Potter books made me realize reading is fun. The movies were the first English-language series that I …

At first, I was not sure whether I liked the new Bleak House (released in 2005) better than the old version I have in my collection of classics (the 1985 Masterpiece Theatre production). I was so used to the old version that it took me some time to warm …

Signs was a really cool and scary movie. This movie really got into my head and freaked me out! I think this is why I liked it so much. It starts of slow with people seeing crop circles. And then you think you see things moving outside in the shadows, …

I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …

Drowning Mona with Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck, Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, Will Ferrell, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
This movie is a perfect example of dry humor. Danny DeVito delivers his cynical lines in his trademark manner. Curtis is her usual sexy self as the waitress had …

British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …

I watched Daddy Day Camp with my sister a few days ago. Neither of us were very interested in it. I usually like kid’s movies, but I didn’t care for this one. My sister never did finish watching all of the movie, she just kept rewinding and fast forwarding …

This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …

Man On Fire stars Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, and Dakota Fanning. This is an exceptional film that dealt with the serious issue of the kidnapping business in Mexico, yet did so in a very warm manner.
How do you make a great film about any subject? …

A friend had come over the other night and he had brought ‘Paul Blart - Mall Cop’ with him because I had wanted to see it for some time now but never had the opportunity to go see it when it came out in theaters. Overall, I am glad that …

We’ve all seen millions of zombie movies. Zombie movies are flooding the horror genre. Either original ones come out or terrible remakes. The director Jim Mickle went with a different approach with his plague movie. Instead of zombies taking over a city we have disease carrying rats!
Former boxer …

“Take Shelter” is a well crafted, interesting film that deals with quite a few hard-pressing issues (mental illness, nature gone wild, apocalyptic fears, financial strife). I wish I liked it more, but it left me somewhat disappointed - I found many separate things to like about it, but they …

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the best horror movies ever, but personally i prefer the older version and not the recent. The older version had so much more power to it, it expressed fear in a much more direct way, the blood was much more realistic and splattered …

Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.
Plot: 9/10, the plot of the story is well formed and easy to understand. The …

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 …

This is a very nice movie and when I watched this I was reminded by Sex and the City, but the girls here are much laid-back and more conservative and more professional and laid-back than the cast of Sex and the City, but they aren’t necessarily boring.
The movie features …

Black Swan is a 2010 film directed by Darren Aronofsky which tracks the production of Swan Lake and centers around the development of a character named Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) having to be able to play both the White Swan and the Black Swan, two polar personalities with conflicting …

I looked forward to going to see Rango for probably three reasons. Number one of course was getting to hang out with my nephew and secondly I was looking forward to the movie because it looked good in the trailers. The third reason? I was looking …

“Leatherheads” represent one of the first attemps for the actor George Clooney to be involved in a movie, not just as an actor, but also as a director. I say that after seeing Clooney being involved in a lot of dramatic movies, “Leatherheads” comes across as a surprise since …

Possibly the most highly anticipated film of 2010 so far is finally here. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is a dark re-imagining of both Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Alice Through the Looking-Glass.” The film boasts a star-studded cast as well as appealing visual effects and costume …

Pixar has set a whole new standard in animated films. Ice Age is not a Pixar movie. However, I stilled enjoyed it greatly despite not having the Pixar tag on it. Ice Age is great animated movie in my opinion. It is very funny throughout the …

Final Destination 5 is supposed to be the final installment of the series, and hopefully for movie goers such as me, the studio actually means it. This film was probably the second worst movie of the franchise with its predictable plot and obvious scene transitions in the movie.
The movie …

This film features Eliijah Wood as an american who comes to visit his sister in England. There he meets his somewhat naive nephew, who spends his saturday night fighting. He is a football fan, but more importantly a hooligan who likes fighting more than watching football. His new american …

I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …

Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …

The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …

Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …

A film directed by actress Barbra Streisand about a young jewish girl who wants to become a priest. The problem is that only boys are allowed in this profession, so she simply dresses out as a boy.
This film has a lot of issues. To begin with it tries to …

“Hostel”, “FearDotCom”, “The Ring”—If you’ve seen any of the following movies, then you will be more than prepared for this tale of psycho-twisted horrific suspense. At the helm of this mini-gore feast is Diane Lane, claiming the role of a slightly wizened FBI agent. She’s …

Notorious, this was a great title for the movie biography of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. I saw the movie about a week ago, and am still amazed at what his life was like, true or not. Notorious means widely and unfavorably known, which is the epitome of Christopher Wallace’s …

A japanese film that takes place in the future about a mysterious addictive computer game that takes over people’s lives. There are many similarities here to the interesting Battle Royale. For one thing it is focused on teenagers, and secondly it is regarding a popular item as something that …

Deadgirl is a little known movie that was released in 2009. It tells a very dark and horrific story, but manages to do so without too much gore. Still, the movie would only be good for a mature audience. The plot revolves around two high school …

The Eye is one of those movies that I kind of wanted to see, but I really wasn’t sure if I would like it. As one of those rare (very rare) horror fans that never really liked the Japanese imports, I’ve been more than a little disappointed at the …

Dane Cook’s first time out as a leading man left me laughing, but not so much at the movie, as at myself. I found this movie to hit all of the right marks for laughter but couldn’t being myself to admit that it was anything more than a poor …

The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.
Right from the beginning, the audience is put to sleep with the playing of dull background music. We see Hopkins and Kidman slide off an icy road in their car and fall to their drowning death. …

I think it’s fair to say that mostly everyone has read, heard of, or watched the cartoon of “Where the Wild Things Are”. Also, it hit headlines to a somewhat large scale as the 2009 movie was released, giving a new spin to the beloved children’s book. And while …

I was a teen when I’d first seen Back to the Future, and I was stunned, just like many other viewers, I’m sure. Time travel was not a new movie theme even back then, but I don’t think anyone had done it this way before: sending the character not …

his was a brilliantly made entry, not only in the realm of comic book characters coming to the big screen, but in the Batman mythos itself. Sure, there were the previous films with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, all well acted. But, with the exception of the …

Cheers for Miss Bishop is a classic film from 1941 which starred Martha Scott in the title role of Ella Bishop. My problem, and pretty much my only problem, is that while the makeup was good, it didn’t quite hook me. We see Scott transform from a …

Erin is a single mother of 3 children and is enduring hard times. Cockroaches in the house and nothing to eat except jam out of a tin, Erin is desperate for a job. It is not …

No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
