Love Comes Softly
‘Love Comes Softly’ is the first of a series of movies based on books by Janette Oke, a popular Christian author. Janette Oke writes romance, and romance is considered to be a ‘women’s genre’. However, I wouldn’t call this movie a ‘women’s movie.’ I watched it together with my …

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
This movie is the best film of its kind - dramatic, gripping, mind-splitting, emotionally heart-wrenching. You’ll fall in love with this movie over and over again. I was suprised by the casting in this movie, as I’d never seen Jim Carrey do a role other than his usual over-acting …

I actually like Blockbuster a lot more than Netflix because you can return the movies to the store instead of mailing them in and waiting to receive new movies. Not only can you return the movies that were mailed to you to the store, but you can also trade …

The Proposal movie
I was looking forward to seeing The Proposal when it came out this week on DVD, mainly because I think Sandra Bullock is a comedic genius. She also produced this film, and in my opinion, she has a knack for making non-cheesy, seriously funny comedies that also work as …

Brokeback Mountain movie
After much delay, I finally watched Brokeback Mountain on DVD only to find it really wasn’t worth all the controversy or hype.
Overall, it was an OK movie and a unique concept. Two cowboys working together for a summer fall in love with each other. And, the steamy sex scene …
Fog,movie
If ever that I could have a chance to say this to everyone in the world, find a book, do not watch.
Funny it is, ’cause the movie “Fog” was really trying hard to be classically sophisticated sci-fi. Well, no it isn’t. Though, the graphics was seemed great and modern …

Destiny! A mere coincident, a perfect accidentally meeting, in an unexpected date, day and time including places.

Alpha Dog Movie
When I watched the trailer for this film, I wasn’t impressed. Just another teen flick with young girls in bikini’s and young boys doing drugs Even though that was in the film, it wasn’t as prominent a part as you would think
The film is about a young …
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
Johnny English Reborn (Movie)
I recently watched this movie. I downloaded it from iTunes. It was fairly priced. The download took quite some time, but I was streaming and downloading at the same time so it didn’t affect me that much. Johnny English is played by Rowan Atkinson, also known as Mr. Bean. …
Body of Lies
Watching Leonardo Dicaprio acting in Body of Lies, I could feel the tension brewing in his character and I watched this before when it was released in my country sometime last year.
There is something mysterious and foreboding whenever spy movies or movies that are filled with CIA Agents give me. …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie

Kick-Ass Movie
Kick-Ass is a comic-book superhero movie about a guy who ask himself “why nobody has ever tried to be a superhero?” like the ones on comic-books. Kick-Ass is based in a comic by Mark Millar and I think this is one of the best comic-book movies ever. As a …
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
Another perennial favorite, like The Wizard of Oz, I eagerly looked forward to my yearly visit to my favorite chocolate factory.

Wayne’s World
I gotta say that Wayne’s World is a pretty good movie. It is one of my best memories of the past. I think the movie was really funny and very crazy. I think Wayne was a very funny character. The movie Wayne’s World really captured the essence of what the …
The movie Friday
The movie Friday is a freaking hilarious movie and made me laugh so hard. The beginning of the movie is kind of boring though and the first 20 minutes of the movie sucks to be honest but after that it starts to become real funny. From the beginning of …
Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Autopsy movie
I’ve recently taken up going through some of my friend’s cheesy horror DVDs and this was one of those he had on one labeled “After Dark Horrorfest 2009″. Despite the fact that this was the best movie out of all the movies in that collection, I still think the …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
Toy Story 3 movie
I have been an avid fan of the Toy Story movies 1 and 2. So when I saw the trailers and the teasers about Toy Story 3, I just had to watch it. Since I was young, I have enjoyed watching Toy Story and I think Toy Story 3 …
