50 First Dates movie
Imagine what it would be like to wake up every day with your memory blank. You can’t remember what you did yesterday (or the day before, or the day before that). You can’t remember people you’ve met, either. Even your next door neighbors would have to introduce themselves to …
Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.
I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …
Madea’s Family Reunion movie
I love Tyler Perry movies and was really anxious to see “Madea’s Family Reunion”, yet another movie with his unforgettable Madea character dispensing out advice that is somewhere between being wacky and wise. Tyler Perry wrote, directed and starred in this film about members of Madea’s family planning both …
The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …

A day in the life of a typical blue collar working class suburban family man as a loving husband and father soon turns to turmoil when a mysterious family moves into his neighborhood. Along with other home owners in the neighborhood, they get to thinking that their new neighbors …
The Night Flier, 1997 movie
As you may have guessed, this movie is not for those who seek morals and some points in GMRC but I watched this movie because I thought it was like a Jeepers Creepers type of thing and that it was based on Stephen King’s work but I got disappointed. …
DVD: Keeping Mum
If Alfred Hitchcock or Wes Craven had made the movie “Mary Poppins” the result would have been “Keeping Mum.” Maggie Smith star of dozens of movies plays Mum. She takes a job helping Gloria Goodfellow (played by Kristen Scott Thomas of “The English Patient” fame), the wife of the …
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 movie - American version)
Relative newcomer Rooney Mara perfectly inhabits the role of Lisabeth Salander, the namesake character in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” David Fincher’s adaptation of the wildly popular novel and 2009 Swedish movie is a wonderfully-cast atmospheric crime drama that will make even the bold squeamish.
I’m very glad Fincher …

Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult

The basis of the movie is an Amish girl that has a baby that is …
The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …

Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …
Ghost Ship Movie
Ghost Ship is a horror movie that I really love, even though the movie itself isn’t really that scary. The first time I saw it was when it was playing in the theater, and I’ve had the chance to see it a few more times since then. Every time …
Wolfman (2010) movie
Since I had already watched the older version of this movie once or twice, and had some respect for it, when someone told me that a newer version was coming out earlier on this year, I couldn’t wait to see it. I had all these expectations that whomever was …

Tomorrow Never Dies movie
The second appearance of Pierce Brosnan made me confident the James Bond film series was never going to end. Although the creators ran out of Ian Fleming novels and made up the story on their own, it is actually rather thrilling with a lot of breathtaking action sequences and …
The Shining
Steven King’s The Shining is probably the most horrifying movie ever made. I just love this film. The Shining scares me till this day. And I get freaked out by it every time I see it. This is a movie that has scared people for years.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1997 Film)
Out of all of the Star Wars movies that came out in the 90’s, episode VI “Return of the Jedi” is my favorite. I had thought that the first two films made in the 90’s were incredible and that nothing could top them, but “Return of the Jedi” was …
Movie Superbad
I watched this movie about two nights ago. It was a lot better than I though it was going to be. There were quite a few funny parts, and it was just fun to watch. Some of the parts weren’t really funny but you enjoyed watching it and it …

I went with my niece Jaime to see the newly release UP movie, I wasn’t so impressed but my niece was, a 5 yr old would be impressed by a lot of things.
I just enjoyed the movie a lot, and so did my niece. I felt the characters were …
Pathology film
“Pathology” is directed Marc Schoelermann and is written by the man who wrote “Crank” but please don’t let that scare you off. As much as I hated “Crank” and anyone of those “Leave you brain at the door” films but I took a chance …
Ice Age 4 Continental Drift 2012 Movie
I will be one of the first people to say that when I saw the preview for Ice Age 4 Continental Drift released in 2012, I thought —˜Oh No, not another one!’ Not that I didn’t like the first three because I did. I loved them. I was just …

Gravity (science fiction movie)

Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …
Jack and Jill (movie)

This movie is hilarious not in a slapsticky, Jack Black kind of comedy funny but it is really funny. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, a hitman who happens to have got himself poisoned and will die if he doesn’t keep physically moving. Amy Smart plays Kate, the love interest …
Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …

Romancing the Stone movie (1984)
(Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito)
Hollywood movies simply don’t get any better than this! Romancing the Stone is pure escapist entertainment: high adventure, lowly villains, handsome heroes, gorgeous—”and brainy—”women in distress, occasionally clumsy yet resourceful villainous sidekicks, incredible locations and a fun and sumptuous soundtrack.
Turner plays …

I am reviewing the movie, Blue Herrings, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as the mystery duo of Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Barnaby. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this movie, viewers get …

Three Days of the Condor movie
Sydney Pollack directed this mesmerizing spy thriller, Three Days of the Condor, in 1975. It stars Robert Redford as Joseph Turner, a man who reads books for a living. He’s employed by the CIA. His very unassuming place of employment seems low key and simple enough. …
