Pain and Gain Movie
The stories in which large muscles are combined with a brain of a bird often seem comical, but I feel that a deeper analysis can establish that there is a vast drama concealed in them. The audience members can be deeply mistaken if they think that the term “meathead” …
Quarantine
A few years ago, The Blair Witch Project used one camera to add realism to a horror film and was so successful at doing it, other movies have tried to copy the method. Unfortunately, those movies often fail.
This was pretty much the case with the movie Quarantine. On one …
The Witch (2016 Horror Film)
I rarely, rarely watch horror films. In fact I can’t recall the last time I watch a horror film alone. I just don’t see any point at all watching something that just do nothing but make you feel afraid and scared and get away with it.
At 19 I must admit …
Wicker Man (2006 movie)
Nicholas Cage stars in this mystery/drama/horror type movie. He finds himself on a remote island populated mostly by women. His task is to find a missing child who might also be his daughter.
Now that the foundation has been laid for the plot of the movie, where did it go …
The Miracle of Sound
You never know what you are going to get when you watch a classic film short. The purposes behind these productions, which last anywhere from just a few minutes to a half-hour or so, is varied. The one I watched this evening is from 1940 and is …
Walk the Line movie
I can honestly say that I have watched “Walk the Line” on several occasions, probably more than my husband cares to count. I have always liked movies based on the lives of real people and “Walk the Line” is based on the life of late country singer Johnny …

Film Ghostbusters
It was one of my most ardent childhood wishes that, when I grew up, I should marry Ghostbuster Egon Spengler.
One of the first blockbusters of the 1980’s Ghostbusters features an array of Saturday Night Live Players, and some of the finest comedians of the day. Conceived by Dan Aykroyd, …
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Movie
I have been a fan of Peter Jackson’s movies ever since the first “Lord of the Rings” movie came out - “The Fellowship of the ring”. And I think that with “The Hobbit” trilogy that he is now making I was again able to return to the amazing fantasy …
No entry
Just a few months back I watched a new movie called No entry. This movie is a Hindi movie and it is very popular and many or most of the people those who have watched have liked it a lot. This movie is a very nice story, …
Spider Man 3
Spider man 3 script was poorly written,too many characters,forgot what story to tell.At the same time,movie manages to entertain and you will see breath-taking fight scenes,rich visuals etc., You feel that many scenes are selected from other movies or previous spider man movies.
Some spoilers
There are good scenes where Parker …
The Medallion (2003)
Is it me, or is it a case that of late, every single movie that Jackie Chan stars in, he plays the role of a police officer or some other enforcement officer that happens to get caught on the wrong side of the law. I do not think it’s …
Were the Millers (movie)
When I first saw the trailer for “We’re the Millers” on television, I decided that it looked funny enough for me to see it as a light hearted comedy after it was released. I didn’t think that it would actually be hilarious though since it had actors such as …
The Conjuring (movie 2013)
My older sister brought over a DVD rental of the conjuring for movie night one weekend. We both really wanted to see it after seeing the previews during the summer. As scary movie freaks we were hyped.
The Conjuring is another one of those movies that is based on true …
I Am Legend
Will Smith truly has proved his worth and value as an actor and his convincing acting in I Am Legend truly shines. As usual, movies like this gives me the jitters but I braved myself to watch it on the cinemas when it was first shown.
There is …
The Duke of Hazzard
This is another comedy movie from Seann Williams Scott, I like almost all his movie. In this movie, the Duke of Hazzard is starred by Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, and Jessica Simpson. I like this movie because it’s full of silly unexpected smart things but do with …

The Departed movie
Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
The Ghost and the Darkness movie
When I saw the Ghost and the Darkness on sale at the store I had to buy it for my collection. This is one of the most suspense filled movies I’ve ever seen and definitely one that will make you think.
I think this is one of Val Kilmer’s and …
Tokyo Drifter movie
This is a very innovative gangster movie from director Seijun Suzuki. Leading actor Tetsuya Watari does a brilliant job as the hero of the movie, dressed in a blue (!) suit, “Phoenix Tetsu”. Everything is beautifully shot in color, and the action sequences are excellent for a 1960s movie. …

Blockbuster Online Accounts
This company certainly knows how to work you over and obtain maximum revenue at consumer loss! A few years ago they had a $19.99 plan that allowed 3 discs at a time with UNLIMITED in store exchanges. They since changed that plan to allow only FIVE exchanges per month …
Perfect Stranger
I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by the newly released film “Perfect Stranger” starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis.
The story of the film is completely enthralling with twists and turns all over the place. It left me unable to move, just waiting for the next sequence of …
Juno
I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …
The Notebook Movie
I watched the movie The Notebook some time ago and thought it was a pretty decent, unique movie. But, today, I ended up watching it again. I’m not sure why. But, I just didn’t like the film as much as I thought I did.
Perhaps my views and preferences have …

What I liked about this movie: They have attempted to re-make this film and have failed. Lon …
Kissin’ Cousins movie
I adore Elvis Presley and always have, but at the same time, I’ve felt sorry for him. That probably sounds crazy, but he was too loyal for his own good. It was his loyalty to the infamous Colonel Parker, his so-called manager, that resulted in Elvis starring …
Adventureland (2009) Movie
If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …
Corky Romano (2001)
Corky Romano (2001) is a comedy by director Rob Pritts and is rated PG-13 for drug and sex-related humor, and for language.

Dan In Real Life
I love writing on this site, it provides me an outlet to share a part of my life. My son and I have developed a tradition of taking time out of busy lives to spend some time with each other, and some people may think its funny, but …
Devil’s Diary (movie)
I’m not sure if this movie originally came from the Lifetime Movie Network, but that is where I watched it the first time, and am watching it now again. I thought it was pretty great for a low budget movie too, and one that is on Lifetime, since I’m …
One Missed Call Movie
One Missed Call is a complete waste of time and I’m not saying that because I was disappointed or because I didn’t like one actor, but because this movie was absolutely horrible. The sad thing is that I was really excited to see this movie and had been for …
Transformers Animated Series - Soundwave Action Figure
The Soundwave action figure in the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is not one of the better ones, but he does have some good features. He sells for between $10 and $12 and you can find him in most toy stores. He is pretty easy to transform, …
“American Pastime” Movie
I’m a big fan of jazz, baseball, and history so when I heard about the 2007 movie “American Pastime” that is based on a real story, deals with the internment of the West Coast Japanese during World War II, and deals with baseball and jazz, I was hooked. What …
MJR Marketplace Theater in Sterling Heights Michigan
I recently discovered a better movie theater to take my family to, the MJR Marketplace Cinemas in Sterling Heights. It was built on the same location as the old National Amusements Showcase Cinemas which was torn down a few years ago.
The layout of the theater is excellent, the flow …
300 (R, 2007) movie
I knew that I would like this film, even though I typically don’t get into fantasy psi-fi period films. However, the graphics and effects alone are great enough to warrant a viewing. Anyway, the Battle of Thermopylae is expertly executed in this intense fantasy-like film. …

20th Century Women (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …
8 Mile (2002)
In the beginning, B Rabbit is involved in a Rap Battle, but he chokes on stage and ran off in disgrace, this is his passion, but he is yet to find his muse. As he continues with his life as a struggling Rapper, he spends most of his work …
Death Race In Bluray
Hello, today, I am going to be giving you guys a review on the movie Death Race in Bluray format. I watched this movie a little while ago and I thought it deserved a good review.
There are lots of reasons why you could love this movie as I have. …
Movie Tinker Bell
I’m sure we all have heard about her. She’s cute, shining, flying and has become a classic. We’ve seen her as Peter Pan’s little friend who doesn’t speak but now she has her very own movie where the spotlight is on her from start to end. It has been …
Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
This is easily one of Ben Stiller’s best movies. I love how he plays a male super model who …
Because I Said So
I simply enjoyed watching the actress Diane Keaton in her role of clingy and over protective mother with the name of Daphne Wilder in the movie “Because I Said So”. The Razzie Award thought that she over exaggerated, however for me that her interpretation in this movie is simply …
Underworld: Awakening Movie (aka Underworld 4) (2012)
I watched the new Underworld: Awakening(Underworld 4) movie in 3D, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. I’ve watched the entire series and loved them all, except for the third one, which I found to be quite boring and unnecessary to the story line. I …
Ghost World
Watching Ghost World is not quite like watching a chick flick. Although you see American Beauty actress Thora Birch and the sweet and innocent look actress, Scarlett Johansson star. This is kind of an exploration type of movie and I feel that each character in the story has …
