Tschick (German Movie)
Tschick is a movie directed by director Fatih Akin based on a best-selling Young Adult novel Tschick (translated as Why We Took the Car in English). It’s a shame I cannot find a trailer for the movie with English subtitles even though the film is released with English subtitles. So …
“Up in the Air” Film
I just finished watching this film. I had heard it was a good film and since it was nominated for a lot of awards in the award season, I figured it would be good. Well, I was wrong, this movie was slow, boring and depressing.

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (2008)
Let me first say that our last name is HORTON, so this movie is definitely a treat, especially for the kids. They love the fact their last name is in a movie. It’s a treat for us adults who love Jim Carrey AND Steve Carell, who were both in …

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …
Moulin Rouge movie
In all honesty, I love this movie. Although I’m not a big fan of musicals, I found this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and romantic. The production was really something that amazed me and these are probably the reasons why it is one of my top ten favorite …
The princess diaries movie
I remember watching “The princess diaries” a couple of years ago. It is a much better movie than I thought. It had a lot of humor to it and it was a good family movie. I watched it with my sisters and my mother on different occasions. It had …
House of a Thousand Corpses
This is a movie (produced and shown in 2003) that I regret having watched. I only wasted money.

Movie Music and Lyrics
“Music and Lyrics” is not the best movie for Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore; however it is not a movie that you must ignore. The best aspect of this movie is the music. I keep remembering and singing the songs for hours after watching.
The story of this movie is …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …

The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970) (aka Night of Walpurgis and Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman)

“Pacific Rim” movie
The geek community had high hopes for this movie. Having giant robots fighting giant monsters seems like a guaranteed good time, but the fact that Guillermo Del Toro was helming the project only added to the hype.

Mulholland Drive (2001)
Mulholland Drive is an absolute masterpiece from surreal director David Lynch, but it is not for everybody I guess. Some people are going to be irritated at the strangeness of this film, but others like me enjoy that strangeness and it serves to draw us into the mystery. …

ATM (2012 horror movie)

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Yes, Jack Sparrow is back. Johnny Depp has proved once again that he’s one of the best actors in the world. Why? Because he managed to achieve a good role in, maybe, one of the weakest plots and one of the worst directions in the history of the movie …

In this movie, Holmes pits his powers against a master blackmailer, who has been blackmailing people for fortunes …

Next Door is one weird film. If you like foreign cinema, you will like this movie. If you like foreign cinema with eroticism and suspense, then you will LOVE this movie. I will confess that I wasn’t sure exactly what was going on at first. …
Sydney White movie
I admit I really love watching Amanda Bynes movies. “Sydney White” together with “What a Girl Wants” is simply my favourite. I like the work of this actress so much because she seems to be the Molly Rigward of our time.
In his film we see Amanda Bynes as Sydney …

Wedding Wars is about gay entirely. This movie is about 2 brothers, whom have a so called clash, as his brother was about to marry a Governor’s daughter, and his future father-in-law requested that he opposed gay marriages, which offends Shel, played by Stamos.
Stamos is certainly a dishy …
Quigley Down Under (Western)
I’ve never been a big fan of Westerns so I was reluctant to watch this movie (even though it is set in more modern times).

Pearl Harbor
First off, I am a BIG Jerry Bruckheimer fan and am always excited to see one of his movies. HOWEVER, not even the Jerry Bruckheimer name can save the mess of a movie that is Pearl Harbor. The first hour or so of the movie contains some …
Push
I think that Push the movie is not that bad but not that great either. Honestly speaking, it has some good and bad moments. Child actress Dakota Fanning is charming as always but I find that her role could have been better.
Maybe because this is kind …
Zombieland movie
I heard very little about Zombieland before I rented it, however in passing I heard nothing but praise for the movie. I figured this was a bad sign. I very seldom agree with the masses on what is considered good, so I went into Zombieland thinking I was going …

Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …
Twilight- Movie
My thirteen year old daughter is in love with the Twilite Movie. She has even read the book she liked it so much, and she is not one to read a book if it wasn’t an assignment. I can’t say as I loved the movie, but it is a …
