Bee Movie
I’ve watched Bee Movie several times and still consider it to be a fairly well made movie. In some ways it is as it appears to be, a very family directed movie but I think most people would find themselves entertained despite whatever ago group they belong to. Jerry …
The Break-Up Movie Rental
The Break-Up should’ve broken up before ever hitting the movies. After renting this movie, I really wanted to ask for my money back. It was not at all like anything that I expected. The ending was absolutely horrible. When I read the cover before renting …

Love, Actually movie
Love, Actually, is a very strange movie to nail down and categorize. Overall, it is, of course, a romantic comedy, but it is wholly unique from other members of the genre. Instead of relying on two star crossed lovers to tell its tale, Love, Actually, features a very large …

War of the Worlds (Movie 2005)

Hollow Reed movie
I actually came across the movie “Hollow Reed” by accident before I had never even heard of it and when I saw it starting it seemed that nothing else worth watching was being aired on cable television at the time. To make things even better, the movie was a …
Seth McFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West: A Movie
My husband and I are big fans of Liam Neeson movies and since my husband likes Family Guy and Seth McFarlane, we decided that we would treat ourselves to see the newest movie “A Million Ways to Die in The West”. I had hoped that it would be …
From Paris With Love (2010) movie

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie

Sally and Saint Anne movie
This is a wonderful movie about faith and belief, Sally O’Moyne style. Ann Blyth plays Sally, a Catholic teenager who believes in Saint Anne so much that she prays to her for everything. Amazingly, a lot of things begin to happen for Sally when she prays to …
Batman Begins Movie
This was Cillian Murphy’s breakout movie as Jonathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow and I think he did an amazing job here. He could do drama as well as action and he’s a newly-talented and famous actor for doing and completing this movie alone! Christian Bale portrayed Batman in this …

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …
The Devil and a Guy Named Webster

The Lovely Bones Movie
I finally was able to watch The Lovely Bones last night. I am a big fan of the book. It has always been one of my favorite books of all time. Sadly, the movie didn’t matched my expectations. Although Peter Jackson made the movie in absolutely …
Let’s Talk About Sex DVD Movie
The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …
When Trumpets Fade movie
A film set during World War II, focused on a band of soldiers and their struggle for survival. It begins very good with a strong sense of realism and despair, but then it is so evident that this film was intended for television, and the low budget is so …

I went to see Pirates of the carribbean 3 with my 11 year old daughter. We loved it. I thought it was better than the second one Dead Man’s Chest. Johnny Depp is hilarious.I enjoyed the part where he was “hallucinating” and there were Jack Sparrows everywhere on …
Ghosts of Cite de Soleil (R, 2006) movie

The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.

The 12 Men of Christmas movie
Kristin Chenowith stars in this 2009 holiday movie, The 12 Men of Christmas. Chenowith is a refreshing actress. She’s very petite with a petite, off-beat sounding voice. She’s a perky blonde who can both act and sing. When I heard about this new seasonal flick, …
Austin Powers (Movie)
Let’s be honest, have you never laughed at silly things? Do we not laugh at such simple comments said in a funny way? Or by the idiot face that some of our friends display from time to time so that we laugh when we are sad? This film is …
Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
Sherlock Holmes Movie
I thought, by now, I would be reviewing the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr. But, I haven’t seen it yet. Instead, I’m talking about another version of Sherlock Holmes that came out recently on DVD.
This cheap ripoff, sometimes billed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, isn’t …

Movie Willow (1988)
Since my daughter was very young, she and I have enjoyed watching many fantasy movies over the years. One of our favorites has always been Ron Howard’s “Willow.” The talented Val Kilmer is absolutely fantastic as Madmartigan, a great swordsman who has a tendency to only look out for …
