I watched “The Fourth Kind” movie in theaters soon after it was released. My companion and I hadn’t planned on seeing this movie but were intrigued by the advertisements and when we had a free evening, decided to see it.
The opening is pretty interesting the way they indicate that …

Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …

Dady DAy Care is okay to watch if you have children in the household. But if you dont have children I wouldnt really recommend watching it, evemn though it is funny. In this movie Eddie Murphey loses his job and he needs a way to make income, …

From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …

Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
However, as far as movies are concerned, Loch Ness falls well short of being entertaining.
Ted Danson plays a scientist who is highered to prove once and for all …

Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …

The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones. It is the story of an english couple played by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland who’s daughter dies for mysterious …

You add a mix of deception and betrayal, throw in a dash of blindness and what do you have? You have another movie about a plot to kill the emperor or in this case, to kill the leader of a rebel group. Animation is good…not too over the top, …

This is the version by surrealist Luis Buñuel, which is surprisingly enough a most conventional film. Buñuel was otherwise a filmmaker who never let the audience’s needs come in conflict with his artistic vision, and only created what he felt was important. His version of Robinson Crusoe shows that …

This is an excellent powerful movie! It was the perfect combination of comedy, tragedy, and inspiration. In this film, a young 16 year old is dying of cancer. He had been granted one wish by a foundation and much to everyone’s surprise, he asks to spend …

This spectacular movie has my most favorite film monologue ever and it’s probably the most memorable one as well. It was delivered quite eloquently by the legendary Anthony Hopkins. This film, “Silence of the Lambs” is nothing short of a
masterpiece. Based on the gripping novel by the author Thomas …

The Forbidden Kingdom starring kung fu masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li for the first time together on the same screen. When I first went into the movie theatre I think I overhyped the movie. After watching the whole movie in it’s entirety, I was actually disappointed …

This is the story of a group of children whose families face home foreclosure who stumble across a map that allegedly leads to treasure that might be able to save their way of life, that in turns turned into them uncovering a criminal family plot, that in turns take …

When I read Dan Brown’s novel The Davincci Code a couple of months ago, I couldn’t wait for the movie to come out.
Now that I’ve seen the movie, I kind of wish I hadn’t.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. But, I just felt very unsatisfied watching it. In fact, at times …

“Dirty Deeds” is a comedy some kids will like, but if you prefer smart humor, don’t bother. West Valley High School has a funny tradition: every year during the homecoming week one of the students takes up the challenge of committing “10 Dirty Deeds” - 10 pranks that progress …

A Man Apart is a movie directed by F. Gary Gray. It’s about a man (Vin Diesel) who is a DEA agent who sets out to look for the person that killed his wife (the biggest movie clich ever) but in the middle of his cold hearted revenge, he …

In the early parts of this movie, I found it hard to stay tuned as the dialog was dull and boring and there was not much to hold on to that would keep me interested in watching this movie, but I waited patiently with hopes that it would pick …

After three successful movies on the big screen, Hollywood brought the girl midget (hence, gidget) surfer to the small screen. It was the big break for Sally Field, who took on the Gidget role. It brought her recognition. It still bugs me that she sneers at …

Gary Oldman steals the show in this slow-moving but brilliant take on the spy movie genre. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an intellectual film that will keep you guessing until the end.
I was wary of seeing this movie based on some of its reviews on RottenTomatoes, but after watching …

The Hangover 2 is the sequel to the original Hangover and released in the summer of 2011. What I will say right away is that the original Hangover and this release are incredibly similar in many ways and the second film follows many of the patterns of the first …

I totally forgot about this Shrek movie until my brother reminded me about it some time ago. It’s the fourth Shrek film, and even though I didn’t get the idea that it was as popular as the other movies, I thought that it was every bit as fun and …

I love this classic old black and white movie and watch it every time it comes on TV. Directed by Billy Wilder (who also directed the fabulous Some Like it Hot amongst others), it tells the story of fictional silent movie star, Norma Desmond - played very melodramatically …

The trouble with Denzel Washington is that he is the same person in every one of his movies. Every once in a while, he has a breakthrough role that is different. Deja Vu is not that kind of role for him. Compare his role in Inside Man, Man …

I’ve never seen any movie like this before. It totally blew me away. I knew that Beowulf is an old English epic poem but I didn’t really know its story. So I saw it with much anticipation, plus the hype about the movie just increased my interest in it. …

This weekend I watched The Fugitive again and was reminded what a great movie it is. I was skeptical when it was being made. I love the TV series, which is television classic, and I was afraid the theatrical movie would detract from it or parody it …

I found out about The Age of Adaline while scrolling through an article cataloguing new 2015 movie releases. I never saw the trailer but I decided to see this movie because I recognized the actress on the movie poster. I know Blake Lively from the TV show Gossip Girl and …

Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …

I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …

The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …

The Invisible is a movie that I recently picked up and was fairly surprised to find that I liked it, at least more than I thought I would. This is another one of those straight to DVD releases, but unlike other movies this one has some spectacular acting and …

I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …

My sisters bought me some movies for Christmas. One of the movies was Mr. Deeds. I hadn’t seen the whole movie all the way through so I decided to watch it. It was actually better than I thought. For some reason I thought that the movie was stupid but …

I have recently purchased this movie and watched it with both my 2 and 3 year old grandchildren. The first thing I noticed was that the male cows, steers, bulls, whatever they are, have utters. My grandkids of course paid this no attention but I am assuming older children …

Every girl has perhaps seen and watched one of the most popular and most remembered fairy tales of all time - Cinderella. Every girl would have been dazzled by the magic of this movie, sympathized with Cinderella, fell in love with the prince, thrilled with the 12 midnight curfew, and …

This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …

I admit I only watched this film because I couldn’t imagine the actor, Colin Firth in the role of a Roman Commander. I just couldn’t picture him on big screen after watching him in the role of the prim and proper Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” or …
