Movies Reviews
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It’s really a shame that I never had a film of Harry Potter with the status of a perfect movie. Each story is so strong, before or after you have never truly inclusive workplace. Of course, the three-ACT-structure can be used, but no information or knowledge to come, but …
Scary Movie 2
I just took a few minutes to review the movie Scary Movie. Since I did that, I wanted to take another couple minutes to talk about the sequel, Scary Movie 2; which is one of the very few sequels that might actually be better than the original.
I like this …
American Graffitti movie
American Graffitti was all the rage when it came out, but it did little for me. In truth, I didn’t see it for a long time after the release, and it may have suffered from overkill. By that, I mean that there was so much publicity for …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
I’ve seen Renée Zellweger do comedy from the Bridget Jones series, do drama from the movie Cold Mountain and Cinderella Man, and a little bit of both in New in Town and lots more movies she’s been so famous for, but for the first time ever I was surprised …
Runaway Bride (1999)
Runaway Bride, another movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (because who can forget Pretty Woman), features a cast full of recognizable tv actors and actresses. In fact, one of the actors with a small role as a friend of Ike’s is also in Pretty Woman. (I like him, …
Cannonball Run
Talk about nostalgia, I’m only twenty-seven years old and I really feel like an old timer when I watch cannonball run. This great movie was probably the funniest of its time. Featuring great actors like Burt Reynolds, who molded perfectly into his role of the bad boy racer, J.J. …
“Drag Me To Hell” (2009 Film)
If you are in the mood for a scary movie to give you goose bumps and make you want to shut your eyes, then the 2009 film “Drag Me to Hell” is not for you. While the movie was a little creepy, it was also fairly pointless, leaving me …
Lord of War (2005 film)
I have always admired propaganda films for the boldness of their script and their natural rebellious nature. Perhaps the most sucker punching film of the highest production values is Lord of War.
Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage) has a talent for smuggling weapons, a talent that …
Hitman
I can remember seeing the movie “Hitman” advertising to be released however, I was a bit unsure as the type of movie it would be and soon forgot about it. However, I was reminded about it again in 2007 when I saw one of my friends watching it online. …
Pirahna 3D: The Movie
“Piranha 3D” was the predictable horror movie I expected it to be. It’s Spring Break, and a local small town is bombarded with sex-crazed and drunken college students at their lake. The main character, Jake, is the son of the local sheriff. She asks him to …
Major Payne (1995)

The Abyss Movie
The Abyss is one of those movies that has always inspired me, even if the movie is not really about oceanography and not completely based on the fact of exploring the oceans. I love the idea or just the thought of living in space or under the water. It …
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …
Homeward Bound
I thought this was a pretty good movies for kids. I enjoyed watching it when I was younger. I don’t really care for it now that I am older but I still enjoy it to some point. It’s alright. It’s about these cats and dogs that get lost, there …
Meet the Fockers movie
I am reviewing the sequel to Meet the Parents, which was Meet the Fockers. It came out in 2005 and starred all the actors from the previous film, in addition to Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand as Greg Focker’s parents. In this movie, Greg Focker joins his fiance’s family …
No Country For Old Men (2007)
If you are not careful and of sound mind, you will miss what this movie is actually saying. You might even have to watch it on more than one occasion to get the real meaning behind it. Here is what this movie gives and you are going to have …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …

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 …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.
Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a secretary for a publishing company who is in love with her boss (Hugh Grant) who shamelessly flirts with her (and her skirt!). After the pair have …
What happens in Las Vegas
Although this is a quite new romantic comedy, I believe it stands a chance to become a classic of its kind. It is funny, witty and intelligent. It is both enetertaining and inspiring at the same time, which is not very common nowadays. Apart from lots of fun, the film …
Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters Film
After me waiting for a while I finally went to the cinema to watch the second adaptation of the best-selling series by Rick Riordan, “Percy Jackson & the Olympians,” which sends the already familiar characters from the first movie along with some new ones on a journey to the …

Cujo
If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …

The Reader movie
The reader is an Oscar winning movie. It released a bit late in my country and when it was released, I decided to see it on the very first day itself.
This film is unique in terms of showing the side of a German who was directly involved in the …

Second Harry Potter Movie
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a great movie! The cast is all the same with new characters being introduced. I though Lockheart was perfectly portrayed and oh my goodness, Lucius Malfoy is absolutely perfect! I hate his character but I love to watch him onscreen because …
Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …
The Babadook (horror movie)
I’m a sucker for horror movies. Therefore it was a given that I had to check out the movie “The Babadook” once I read about it in an article online. The writer claimed it was one of the most frightening and talked about movies of the year and I was …

Wanted
I thought one of the best films of 2008 was the action and adventure film “Wanted”. My brother was determined that he would see it in theatres and he did not stop talking about it for a whole two weeks afterward and encouraging me to see it. However, once …
Movie Harvey
Harvey is a delightful motion picture from 1950 that stars James Stewart and Harvey, the invisible rabbit. It’s true. The rabbit gets excellent billing in the movie.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, who is unusually pleasant about absolutely everything. He’s never in a hurry, and he never …

Movie District 9
The one word I can use to describe District 9 is terrible. Granted, I am not a science fiction fan, and I generally won’t even watch any movie that involves aliens, space ships, or inter-planetary travel at all. My husband brought two DVDs home, and I popped it in …
The Labyrinth with David Bowie
This is truly one of the greatest and most memorable movies of all time. It has David Bowie and the muppets ! Well, puppets anyway. If that sounds like a turn off to you look it up on YouTube; you seriously have no idea how wonderful this movie is …
Happy Feet movie
The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …
Before sunset - staring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy
My boyfriend and I recently watched the 2004 film Before Sunset starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Although the film was a little slow going, we really enjoyed it. I suppose you’d describe it as romantic comedy. Julie Delpy is brilliant. We also saw her …
Salam-E-Ishq Sensible Movie
Salam-E-Ishq is a nicely directed movie by Nikhil Advani. Movie depicts the life of six couples through different perspectives. The star cast of movie is great.

Michael Jackson, This is It movie
I said I was not going to do it but I did it. I broke down and saw the movie This is It. I am certain most die -hard Michael Jackson fans have already seen this “movie” in the theater or on DVD but I was not …
“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …
Movie House of Wax
I was a bit bored last night but wasn’t quite ready for bed so i decided to sit down and watch the 1953 film House of Wax with Vincent Price.
I watched this movie when I was younger and remember it as a pretty creepy film; especially the scene where …
