Jerry Maguire
It’s quite sad that Tom Cruise ain’t acting in movies as gorgeously good as Jerry Maguire anymore. I caught this movie when it was first released on theaters and then later caught it on again on DVD. I was not bored at all watching it.
The storyline …

A Cinderella Story Movie
Even thou these types of stories really aren’t my favorite kinds of movies, I’m not much of a romantic mushy movie kind of girl, but this cute, romantic Cinderella style movie is a nice watch when there’s nothing else on and you want a movie you can smile at and …
The Heiress movie
This is a beautiful, although sad, movie. The story takes place in 1849 New York. Catherine (Olivia de Havilland) is the daughter of Dr. Sloper (Ralph Richardson), a very wealthy man and a cruel, tyrannical father. Catherine’s mother had died in childbirth - Catherine’s birth. Not only Dr. Sloper …
Movie: The Devil’s Brigade
This weekend was the first time I have seen the movie The Devil’s Brigade; though I had heard of it and it has been on TV a few times in the past year or so.

The film is about a group …

School of Rock movie

I am reviewing The Case of the Baker Street Bachelors, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie …
Ichi The Killer
Ichi the Killer is a film from the borderline insane Japanese director Miike Takashi, a man well known for the extreme content of his films… and with Ichi, he has managed to surpass even himself. As well as being one of his most outrageous films, it is also …
Harriet the Spy
“Harriet the Spy” was one of my favourite children’s movies when I was younger. Just recently in fact, I found out that it was the same actress who starred in the movies “Ice Princess” and “Eurotrip” who played the role of Harriet in the movie.
The movie is a …

The Killer Inside me, movie
Basing itself on introspective detail as an alternative to normal narrative development, The Killer Inside Me surprises through the honesty awarded to the main character, Lou. He analyzes, meditates, shares thoughts, and divulges bits of his motivation in a rather serene voice that could foreshadow his soon to be …
Hoodwinked movie
My family and I recently rented the new kids movie Hoodwinked. If you don’t know about this movie than let me give an overview of it. Hoodwinked is about the story Little Red Riding Hood with a bit of a twist. Little Red delivers desserts for her grandmother. As …
Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …
Movie Roxanne
I took the time to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long while; the Steve Martin film, “Roxanne.”
You know what, it really wasn’t as good as I remember it being.
I usually love Martin’s movies. But, this one, where he plays a long-nosed fire chief who is in …
White Oleandar
I watched this movie quite a long time ago. Most of the movie didn’t even make sense to me. I thought it was boring and uninteresting. It has Michelle Pfiffer in it and that is one of the reasons I started to watch it. I didn’t like the movie …
Sex and the City (HBO series)
What show can you think of that has completely influenced the entire population of single women across the world? Sex and the City of course. The first wonderful thing about this show is that it’s set in one of the most intriguing, most colorful cities of all …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
13 Conversations About One Thing (R, 2002) movie
If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …
Against the Ropes (2004)
This is a movie about boxing, and if you have ever seen a movie about boxing then you don’t really need to even bother yourself with this movie. The plot is very simple, it is about a woman who has offered to manage an up and coming middleweight fighter, …
Watchmen movie
Watchmen was an absolutely amazing film. If you can get the chance though, I would read the book before you go see the movie. Why? Because half of the greatness of the movie is appreciating how accurately they kept up with the panels from the comic; even shadows …
Earth (2007) movie
I had been looking forward to watch this movie ever since I had seen its trailer for the first time. The movie has been promoted as a movie for everyone, because we all belong to the nature and we should love it. This is one of the most shocking …
This is the End 2013 (Movie)
With very famous and some of my favourite actresses like Emma Watson featuring in the movie This is the End, I was very excited to watch the movie. I like her acting from the Harry Potter series, which is my all time favourite series since I was a kid. …
Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …

Film 300
300 with Gerard Butler.
This was an epic tale full of action - both live and animated. I have watched this movie at least ten times and find it exciting every time. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors go up against Xerxes with …
Sex in The City (The Movie)
I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …
Death Becomes Her (1992)
A more original plot you will never find or even dream of coming across in some lost text. Even if this movie is a remake or not, it has some great appeal and can easily be considered in my books of falling under the heading of an instant classic …
ShowPlace 16 movie theater Naperville IL
ShowPlace 16 movie theater, located at 2815 Showplace Dr., Naperville, IL, is always a pleasure to go to. It is a large, fancy theater with comfortable soft chairs set like in an amphitheater, which gives a much better view. Even on a busy night with some big hit movie …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
Due South: Manhunt
For me, one of the big things I liked about Due South: Manhunt is that guest star Leslie Nielsen was able to show some of his dramatic abilities. For years, Nielsen did almost nothing but serious roles. Then he hit it big with the parodies like Airplane, …
The Princess Bride (1987)
I have always loved fairy tale movies and The Princess Bride, wonderfully directed by Rob Reiner, is one of my favorites of all-time. It is a love story with a comical twist, and it’s just an absolutely fabulous film that has all the elements of a timeless classic. This …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife is probably going to be liked more by women than by men. I thought it was okay but was hard to follow. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not spent theater prices to see it and should have just waited until it …
Valiant (2005)
Valiant, a pigeon has hopes of becoming a hero, and when he hears that the Royal Homing Pigeon Service is recruiting, he did not think twice about enrolling, so, he sets his sights for London. While on his journey, he meets another bird that offers to accompany him, but …
3 Ninja at High Noon Mountain Movie
I used to be a great lover of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as a child, so it wasn’t so much of a stretch for me to think that I might also have enjoyed this film. The whole idea behind the film is that three boys, who are brothers, …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
The second installation in the National Treasure saga, this one doesn’t just pickup from where the last one left off, it has a soul for itself. This one takes you so far back in history that you will be amazed at what you missed out on in school.
Nicholas Cage …

Dirty Dancing
Its a classic. Its amazing. I cant think of anything better than watching Patrick Swayze wiggle his hips and balance on a log.
I have seen this film thousands of times, I know the script off by heart and I know the soundtrack inside out.
This movie is the best chick …

MOVIE JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY
I had to write a review on this show: Johnny Dangerously. I HAD to, because I enjoyed it to the nth degree, and I just read a review that gave it a 2!
I think this is one of Michael Keaton’s best films, and it is hilarious! It is set …
The Punisher 1989 Version
I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …
Pursuit of happiness
Pursuit of Happiness starring Will Smith is the best movie I had ever seen in terms of potraying the real life situation. The struggle to existence and the survival of the fittest theory has been explained beautifully in the movie. Will smith acts as a ordinary sales person although …
Premonition
I was prepared to really hate this film. I had read reviews. And so many people (including critics) had nothing but weak things to say about this film. I think it’s because Sandra Bullock has never been taken seriously as an actress. Her quirky ways, …
Greystone Inscription
I am reviewing The Case of the Greystone Inscription, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
