As Good As It Gets movie
This movie, starring Jack Nicholson as an obsessive compulsive romance novelist who is a bit of a people hater and Helen Hunt as a struglling waitress with an ill son, is very cute.

The Break-Up (movie)
As much as I like Jennifer Aniston, I did not at all enjoy The Break-Up. I had read a bad review before seeing it in the theater, and I didn’t want to see it. The reason I did end up seeing it was that the movie I …
Motion Picture “Dirty Dancing”
The movie Dirty Dancing was released in 1987. It was such a big hit that someone attempted to make the movie into a tv show the following year. Unfortunately the show was just awful and only lasted a few episodes. I was a kid at the …

Proof
I normally like movies Anthony Hopkins has a role in. Unfortunately, the movie Proof didn’t have enough of him to make it any good.
Hopkins plays a former math genius who is battling senility but the movie centers around his daughter (Gwenneth Paltrow) who has to cope with not only …
Home Alone movie
The original and still the best. This side-splitting comedy tells the tale of a kid who thought he had wished his family away. Enjoying his spoils he indulges his child-like appetite like only a kid can. Meanwhile, two buglars are rampaging through the neighborhood stealing all in their path …
Heartbreak Kid DVD
Any move with Ben Stiller is bound to be funny and the Heartbreak Kid is no exception. And now you can bring it home on DVD and enjoy it whenever you want. But it is definitely an adult comedy, rated R, so if you can make sure the kids …
Up (2009) movie
I went and saw this with a friend (even though it’s a kids’ movie and we’re both adults) because we had heard a lot of good things about it. And Pixar usually puts out good movies, so it wasn’t like it was a risk or anything. The fact that …
Hoosiers movie

Movie The Hours
Although I like English literature and I usually like the literature from the beginning of the century, I didn’t like this movie a lot. It is actually a drama about 3 women who all lived in different decades of 1900’s, actually he last one lived in 2002 if I …
Seabiscuit (2003)
Have you ever been to the horse races? Have you ever had to sit there and wait until they get the horses ready for the race, wait until they are all lined up in their stocks, wait for the release and then the actually race itself? Even had to …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …

Insidious: Chapter 3 (supernatural horror movie)
Insidious: Chapter 3 wasn’t on my list of horror movies to watch because I didn’t get the impression that it would be very good especially after watching the trailer. As usual, someone I knew recommended it to me anyway and I decided to try it. It turns out that I …
See No Evil (R, 2006) movie
Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …
Hangover 3 Movie
Misled by the trailer (it presents everything that is best in movie), I witnessed the incredible efforts of some talentless actors of turning a bland scenario into a humorous story that just might bring a smile or two. The movie does not differ from the mediocre comedies for American …
A Life Less Ordinary
“A Life Less Ordinary” represents the early stages of two great actors; Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor. This is a very funny romantic comedy were we can see the great talents of the then almost unknown actors. In this movie, they are both sporting a trendy spiky haircut. We …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …
Who Shot Patakango? movie
From 1989, Who Shot Patakango? is a sort of odd coming of age movie about teenagers attending high school in Brooklyn, New York. The star of note was Sandra Bullock as Devlin Moran. Following are some thoughts on this production.
–I actually saw this movie years ago, but …
Watchmen: The complete motion comic
This was an interesting experiment in marketing. One third comic book, one third cartoon, and one third audiobook. This takes the iconic graphic novel and converts it into a sort of flash animation.
You get all the dialogue and narration, the boxes even pop up, which is surprising …
Twister (movie)
Twister is a movie that follows a group of tornado chasers who are trying to get their project “Dorothy” successfully into the path of a tornado in hopes of trying to get faster warning times for residents.

Jumper (2008)
When I learned that the movie, Jumper, is showing on the big screen, I was quick to rush to the cinema the next day to stand in line to watch it. I wasn’t surprised when I saw a long queue on the first theatre I went to, so I …
Movie Shrek 2
This second edition of Shrek leaves off where the first one did. I really like that because you do not feel like you are missing any parts of the film. I would have to say that this is by far my favorite Shrek movie out of all …
Band of Outsiders: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1964)
Musing on another Godard film I watched last night, I still have these fresh thoughts stuck in my head. Watching Godard is never a bore. I recently read an article in the nytimes talking about Paris as a most favored site for shooting movies. This film was …
Apollo 18, movie
I had seen a couple of video reviews that suggested that this movie was OK. It wasn’t without its flaws, but it was still decent. The average viewer rating on Netflix, however, has it at one and a half stars. After seeing the movie for myself, …

A Storm in Summer,2000 movie
This movie is a real gem. Peter Falk plays Abel Shaddick, an angry old man who seems to hate everyone and everything. However, Falk manages to make his character interesting rather than totally unlikable: we want to know the reason of his anger, and as we suspect that the …
Teeth, movie by Mitchell Lichtenstein
Teeth is a movie written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein and stars Jess Weixler. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

Prom Night (Movie)
This movie is titled Prom Night and I was very hesitant and reluctant to watch it at first because it seemed like it was too unpredictable. The movie is all about a group of teens and they are one by one murdered on prom night —“ simple as that. …

Dirty Deeds, 2005
“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …
Apocalypto (spoilers)
Apocalypto must be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen this year. The problem is, it wasn’t supposed to be a comedy. But I couldn’t help but burst out laughing towards the end of the film. It just was too much, by that time.
First off, the …
Bring It On Again Movie
I totally loved the Bring It On Movie which was the first part of this second movie, and as I was excited to see this one, first I was disappointed because they had totally changed the characters, Eliza Dushku and Kirsten Dunst weren’t the main characters anymore, and nobody …
Manchester By The Sea (2016 Drama Film)
Just before the film ended when Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) finally acknowledged the guilt that manifested inside him I hit the pause button. I went to the bathroom and let the faucet running - it was the first time I had an emotional breakdown while watching a film. I just …

The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Since I have just reviewed the new movie “The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” I thought it would be a good idea to review its first part, “The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” released in 2003. The first movie is much better …
The Uninvited Movie
The camera soars over the crashing waves of the English Coast and the eerie music swells, our hero begins telling us about how haunted these shores are; my skin starts to deliciously crawl and I pull my afghan up tighter under my chin. It doesn’t matter how many …
