Trust The Man
“Trust The Man” had to be all about the actress, Julianne Moore because, at the time, she was the one mostly known in Hollywood. Apart from this, the director and scriptwriter of this movie is Moore’s husband, Bart Freundlich. I must admit that the actor that truly steals the …
Where Have All the People Gone movie
From 1974, Where Have All the People Gone is a movie I’ve remembered well from its original airing on television. Back in the day, this was actually one of those movies that showed up late night all the time. Peter Graves stars as Steven Anders, the father …
Yentl film
Yentl is one of my favorite Barbra Streisand films. Maybe it’s because she put her soul into this movie, making it a tribute for her own father in real life. It’s a story about heritage and the right to study religion as a female in the Jewish …

Charlie St. Cloud Movie
Zac Efron have totally leveled up as he portrayed the role of Charlie St. Cloud in the 2010 movie with the same title, “Charlie St. Cloud”. His portrayal of the role was way too far from the teenage High School Musical, Wild Cats Basketball Captain star.
Directed by Burr Steers …

Mr. Bean’s Holiday

Captain America movie
When I first heard about the Captain America movie, my first thought was, “How can Chris Evans be The Human Torch AND Captain America?” Is the smooth-talking wise-cracking lady’s man really the right person to be playing the man who fights for truth, justice, and the American way? Director …

Murder on the Orient Express movie

Madagascar 2: Escape To Africa

The Dark Crystal Movie
I grew up with “The Dark Crystal”. It was one of my favorite movies then, and it’s one of my favorite movies now.

Remember Me (2010)
I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …

Catch & Release DVD
I have just watched Catch & Release, a new romantic comedy movie starring my favorite actress Jennifer Garner. This story is pretty funny, but it gets boring, with the normal flavor formula being repeated over and over again. I tried to make myself love the movie, but …
Film Vanity Fair
One of my favourite types of films are historical films, or films which are set in some time before the twentieth century as I have always liked the subject history. The film does not even have to be one hundred percent historically accurate but I always tend to enjoy …
The Number 23
I keep asking one question. ” why?” Why did someone decide to write this screenplay? Why did Joel Schumaker agree to make this film? Why did a production company think this would make a good movie idea? Why would Jim Carrey follow up a career in more serious films …

The Borrowers movie
The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …
Total Recall Movie (2012)

Movie Thunderball
Thunderball with Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.

Ghost World (drama movie)
