What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …

Don’t make the mistake to relegate the movie “21″ as just another movie focused on poker, because you will make one big error. The movie “21″ has the right recipe to attract audience from different generations to watch it because it includes drama, romance and hype.

Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …

OK, when I was forced to watch Tyler Perry’s movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I wasn’t happy about it. I don’t mind romantic comedies but I figured this was going to be your typical chick flick; with non-stop man bashing.
Fortunately, I was wrong and this turned out …

Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo was a real shocker when it came out in 1991. I remember reading the buzz about it. Would they really kill off Columbo’s unseen but much loved wife? The made for TV movie actually starts with Mrs. Columbo’s funeral. …

I honestly did not expect much from this movie as soon as I saw the title. However, I decided to try it anyway, and was actually quite surprised to see that it wasn’t have as bad as I expected when I watched it. While I expected that it would …

“Cross Creek” proves that Hollywood movie makers don’t always have to spend millions of dollars to make good films. This movie is based on an autobiographical book by novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who is best known for writing “The Yearling.” I don’t usually like Mary Steenburgen, but …

The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.

I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …

Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …

A couple years ago, I had to read the book “Life of Pi” for a literature class. I had heard one or two other students say that it was a very good book, but whenever I had gotten to read it for myself, I wasn’t anywhere near as impressed …

The story is about a wealthy young …

The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

If you think there is always a second chance in life, you may reconsider your optimism after watching this movie. I definitely did. Second chance seems to be a privilege granted not to every society, and losing the right to it before even turning eighteen seems to be unjustified …

I’m one of those people who had been waiting for the Avengers to be released for two years. I just watched it recently and am not disappointed at all by the movie.

The Kendrick Brothers (Alex, Shannon and Stephen) have been making Christian-based films for over a decade now and they just keep getting better. They started out with the decidedly low budget “Flywheel” in 2003 and their fifth (and latest) film is 2015’s “War Room,” the best of the lot.

Here’s the …

Okay I rented this movie in the hopes of seeing Jessica Simpson naked. Given this marvel did not occur I was definitely disappointed with this film. Simpson is the trophy for a …

Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …

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 …

Right at Your Door is a thinking person’s movie, meaning that you can’t just kick back and watch the movie while you do the laundry, play with the kids, or give the dog a bath. You could, but I doubt it would have the same effect on you that …
