Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
Homeward Bound 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …

How To Train Your Dragon 3D
At a first glance the movie, “How To Train Your Dragon” looks like another dreamworks movie put out there on the market to continue on the franchise of dreamworks. You may be partly correct, but just to let you know as a reviewer, I am personally fond of this …

The Thin Red Line movie
A war story by the poetic filmmaker Terrence Malick. He created the visually stunning films Days of Heaven and Badlands back in the 1970s, then he didn’t make a film until his come back with this film more than 20 years later. I don’t think it is as engaging …
War of the Buttons (movie)
One of my absolute favourite movies to watch as a child was “War of the Buttons”. Funny enough though, I never actually knew the name of the movie since it was something that I had only seen playing on local television. This was alldespite the fact that I searched …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …

Dave Chappelle: Killin’ Them Softly
Comedian Dave Chappelle performs his stand up routine in his hometown of Washington D.C. Most people know Chappelle from his popular television show called “Chappelle’s Show.” This DVD is an one full hour of pure gold. His stand up routine is the funniest that I have ever seen.
His stand …
Where The Wild Things Are: The Movie
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 …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It’s really a shame that I never had a film of Harry Potter with the status of a perfect movie. Each story is so strong, before or after you have never truly inclusive workplace. Of course, the three-ACT-structure can be used, but no information or knowledge to come, but …
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
One of my favorite family movies growing up was Mrs. Doubtfire. It’s one of Robin Williams’ best movies, I think. In it, he plays the father of three children that he hardly gets to see because of his divorce. So, he disguises himself as a senior-age …
Movie The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight is a marvelous piece of film making that is sure to make the viewer forget about gas prices or mortgage payments for at least 150 minutes. And with the film grossing over $150M in its first weekend, how bad is the economy anyway? …
Movie: The hand that Rocks the Cradle

What I liked about this movie: A lot of movies only hint at a person’s past and might give you a clue or two to figure it out for yourself. I personally …
Mona Lisa Smile (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Mona Lisa Smile” is an elegant masterpeice that portrays Julia Roberts in a role that was pretty much made for her. It brings woman’s rights and the power that they have to another new level, while also showing the contraversy of how woman were supposed to …
Dahmer
This film, based on the killings of infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dhamer is a complicated film to judge. On one hand, it documents his crimes accurately enough, and for a big screen or small screen adaption of anything of the sort, the facts can be lost in the fiction, …
Animation Movie: Hoodwinked
First time a friend told me about this movie i though it was some internet parody done by a 13 old bored guy, but then i saw an advertisment for it in the movie theater, and decided to give it a try.
What can i say, maybe for kids it’s …

The New Adventures of Old Christine stars Julia Louise Dreyfus. With an excellent supporting cast of nobodies, Dreyfus creates a very funny series and shows why she was an intricate star in Seinfeld.

1408

The Grudge movie
There is one movie that has frightened me like no other, and that movie is The Grudge. I still cannot watch The Grudge and expect to sleep that night, or the night after, for that matter. While The Grudge is totally unbelievable, the images haunt me and I just …
Tron Legacy movie
Tron Legacy is probably the best 3D movie I have ever seen. The graphics and the images were just awesome in this movie. But even in regular HD this movie truly does rock. If you are watching it on a home system I recommend watching it with huge speakers. You’re …

The Barretts of Wimpole Street movie
From 1934, The Barretts of Wimpole Street is a very nice movie, though I must admit I prefer one of the remakes better. Still, this was the one that started it all, and there are some fine moments to it.
I love that Flush, the dog, gets star billing …

The Dark Knight
By now everyone has seen The Dark Knight, and there are more than enough reviews so rather than focus on how good the movie is I want to focus on my thoughts on what the movie is. The movie isn’t really about Batman it’s about the Joker, something most people …
The Invisible Woman (2013)
After reading the details of the film I was impressed, especially because it was a Ralph Fiennes film. Being quite a movie buff and a huge Ralph Fiennes fan, I decided to watch it online. Ralph Fiennes’ performance in The Reader had already inspired me in a number of …

Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …
James Cameron’s Avatar
Avatar is my favorite movie that I’ve watched all year. Heck, it might even be my all-time favorite. Critics say that it lacks plot, but I highly disagree. Who cares if it’s cliche? All that matters is that the story is well told.
The movie is about an ex-Marine, Jake …
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
I would have to say the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was a really good movie. When I first seen the movie I almost cried at how moving it was. It was like a real life situation and the struggles that normal people go through in life. The movie …
Bambi (Disney Movie)
Bambi is a very delightful movie and it’s very cool. I really think Bambi is a great movie for young people and even adults. The morals in this movie are good and should be learned by all. I think that Bambi looks really cue and he is very lovable. I …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I didn’t have very high hopes in this movie so my expectations were very low. I didn’t think it would be possible to be any worse than I had imagined, BUT, I was wrong. First off, the movie is never scary to me. A man in …
