ShowPlace 16 movie theater, located at 2815 Showplace Dr., Naperville, IL, is always a pleasure to go to. It is a large, fancy theater with comfortable soft chairs set like in an amphitheater, which gives a much better view. Even on a busy night with some big hit movie …

I rented The House of the Devil through Netflix. I chose it because I read reviews stating that the retro-80’s style of filming was extremely accurate. I am an 80’s kid so I loved that idea—“ and they were right. Everything from the clothing and hairstyles down …

When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …

I must admit, I have never been much of a Will Smith fan…until this movie. With so few human interaction scenes (for most of the movie, he is with a dog), he pulled off the lonely, depressed person very well. The storyline is amazing and, at the …

Another love story, that’s what I said to my friends after watching it. I don’t want to spoil it for others who might want to go and spend some dough on this romantic adventure. I know, most people loved the effects and cinematography, but I’m not after an award …

I simply enjoy doing reviews for old movies because you have the advantage of knowing how they effect people and very importantly what happens to the actors afterwards. “The Outsiders” is a classic movie that goes down in history. Apart from the fact that it is directed from the …

With all the movies about comic book action heroes that have been coming out lately, one that has been out for some time might be easily forgotten.
But, even after being on video shelves all these years, the movie The Rocketeer is still one of my favorites.
Bill Campbell does an …

The IMAX movie Fantasia/2000 was a blast with my little cousins. I brought both of my 2 darling cousins to watch this IMAX movie, and since both of them are 4 and 3 years respectively, they giggled throughout the movie, and really enjoyed it so much.
My most favorite …

Friday the 13th part 4 is a movie that most horror movie fans either really hate, or they really love. Personally I’m a big fan, which is saying a lot for me. I tend to lean more towards the Halloween films, but this is my favorite of the Jason …

What may go down in history as the most shocking and disturbing films of our time, A Serbian Film follows in the footsteps as the now infamous shock film The Human Centipede. A Serbian Film has already been banned in countries, been labeled with XXX ratings and the director …

I believe that the movie “American Dreamz” represent the most bizarre role for both actors, Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore. We see both there two actors in an unlovable role which is definitely something new because we are so used in seeing them in romantic movies. It is also …

Waking Up in Reno is a quirky movie that was released in 2002 after a long and oft-postponed opening. This is another movie that surprised me with all the difficulties of being released. It had a stellar cast, but for some reason, there were an abundance of …

A swedish film from the self-biographical novel by Jan Guillou. It is the story of a young rebellious man who goes to a college. There he learns that the older students from the “finer families” are the bosses and that the younger students have to obey their rules to …

From 1985, Max Headroom introduces a really unique new concept to television viewing. In fact, you really have to be open to something different when you go into this, and not only that, but you need to stay focused on what is happening throughout Max Headroom or you’ll …

Bleak House is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. I am speaking of the newer, 2005 version, although the older one, that of 1985, is also well done (it had been one of my favorite movies until the new one came out). This movie, …

OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.
Personally, I never have been a big …

If there was any movie that made Lindsay Lohan the celebrity she is now, Mean Girls would be it. As Cady, the smart-yet-uncool new girl from Africa who made the fearless journey from homeschooling to the uncharted territories of the American high school safari, Lohan appeared quite the …

I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …

Sex in the City, The Movie was fabulous. I missed the HBO series because I don’t get HBO. Over two weeks, I rented all five years from Blockbuster.com and couldn’t watch them fast enough. Is it over the top sometimes? Yes. Is there any reality? …

Another drama movie that I have watched would be Living the Dream. This is about making a change in life kind of story, but having some form of hindrance at the same time.
It tells about Brenda, and Jonathan, an immigrant person. Both of them grew up from …

I love this movie! I just watched it a few days back and I can say that this is one of my most loved movies after Titanic that is. With Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and more,it was such an enjoyable movie to watch.
It was all about …

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 …

I had first been interested in the 2009 film, 500 Days of Summer, because one of its main actors (Zooey Deschannel) has always impressed me in other films that she has done. However, her character Summer did little less then annoy and disappoint me. I constantly felt sorry for …

When I was growing up, Herbie movies were a staple of our movie nights. Who couldn’t love the Love Bug.
In this latest reincarnation of the car hero, he is teamed with Lindsay Lohan. And, quite honestly, I didn’t like the pair.
While the movie did stick to the family-oriented entertainment …

Untraceable came out earlier in the year and was supposed to be a movie of the Thriller genre. I did not see the preview or trailer for this movie but I actually saw it on a whim. The poster for it made it seem like it’d be more of …

As I mentioned previously I love watching some Lifetime movies even though a lot of them aren’t necessarily up to par when it comes to acting, writing and directing. Even the storylines at time don’t even add up. However, when I watched the movie “Girl, Positive”, it was definitely …

With the deep rooted belief that anything with Will Smith in it has the makings of something great, I had high expectations of one of the movies he did, The Pursuit of Happyness. What would be even more interesting for me to see was how he would work with …

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 …

When it comes to Christmas movies, there usually isn�t much difference between one or another; especially when they are comedies.
But, the film Deck the Halls admittedly was pretty good.
It�s one thing to have Christmas spirit, but what if your neighbor has so much Christmas spirit it’s keeping you up …

I love thriller, horror and drama movies but for the life of me I cannot classify this movie. I had a problem with the first scene. When the movie started Kristen, the main female character, was crying but I never really understood why she was crying. I had to …

What I liked about this movie: I have seen quite a few westerns involving gunfights and, while they are all …

The Alien saga is one of the finest and most enduring film series’ out there, and certainly one of the finest science fiction series’ out there. The legendary Ellen Ripley provides us with one of the strongest female characters of all time and once again, definitely a stand out …

I know many people love this movie. Even the grade school pupils adore this. But please count me out. This movie I think has overdone it’s attempt to illustrate something in a deeper sense to the point it appeared obscure.
Because of the way the …

I love Kate Hudson’s movies. They’re the kind that you can just enjoy because of the theme. Most of her movies are romantic comedies and when i feel really stressed, all I need is a good laugh. Recently, I watched My Best Friend’s Girl. I have a lot of …

My husband has been waiting for the movie Clash of the Titans to be released. I bought tickets online and we watched it one Saturday afternoon. He told me that it was a remake, but I have never watched the previous one, so really did not know what to expect.

I was extremely skeptical, at first, about watching this movie. I am definitely one of those people that if something on t.v. or at the theater doesn’t catch my attention in the first ten or so minutes, it usually doesn’t manage to keep my attention to the end. And …

My daughter and I just watched the Time Traveler’s wife on DVD and we both really enjoyed it. It starts out with Henry (Eric Bana), discovering he is a time traveler at the age of six, right after his mother dies. It was some kind of a getetic thing …
