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 …

My son is a big fan of mummy series, and I had to watch the earlier two parts with him as well. This one is set in china, and the story goes that thousands of years ago, one Chinese king, wanted to rule the world, and was looking for …

After the numerous video game-related films like Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter, and Double Dragon that were utter disasters, I’m cynical when Hollywood makes a movie involving video games or a movie is based on a noted property. Once in a while, Hollywood will surprise me with a …

One night when I was channel surfing for something interesting to watch, I stumbled onto a PBS special called Alone in The Wilderness. It is a movie based on a book written by Dick Proenneke. It was about his life and how he went to Alaska to live a …

One Hundred Men And A Girl is an old film, made in 1937, about a girl who organizes an orchestra. The girl, Patsy, pulls together the orchestra because Patsy and her father need the work, as do the group of musicians, who are all without jobs at the present. …

I almost did not watch this movie. The beginning was so slow, I all most fell asleep. About the time I was going to take it out and try a different one, it got interesting. I am not a real believer of alien from other worlds visiting us or …

March of the Penguins is one of my favorite movies and one I have watched several times. It is a documentary of the lives and struggles of Emperor penguins on the Antarctic continent but it is anything but boring. Narrated by Morgan Freeman this documentary is touching, …

This was a 2000 A&E television production, and is now available on DVD. The movie is an interweaving of two stories: the 18th century invention of the marine chronometer by John Harrison, and the 20th century restoration of the timepieces by Rupert Gould.
I’m going to give this movie sort …

Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …

Attitude is everything, and in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, there is plenty of attitude. When I first heard that Patrick Swayze was going to be in this movie, I was surprised, but there’s a reason for everything Patrick does, and when I learned it …

From 1980, Michael Learned starred in A Christmas Without Snow. For me, it’s a little too much of a movie in search of a plot. Yes, there is a lot going on, but it’s a bit disjointed. Things happened more to make a story than it …

Synopsis: Demi-God Persius must go on a quest to figure out how to kill the Kraken before it is unleashed on Argos after the city’s citizens declare war on the Gods.
What I liked about this movie: I loved the original film that came out in the 80s and this …

Breakfast in Hollywood from 1946 has some very delightful moments in it. Apparently, this was a real radio show that was broadcast in Hollywood with host Tom Breneman, who appears as himself in this motion picture that uses his show as a catalyst for several small sub stories.
The …

From 1962, That Touch of Mink pairs Doris Day with the debonair Cary Grant. For me, this has always been somewhat of an odd couple, but it made for a good motion picture, never the less. There certainly are a lot of reasons to enjoy this entertaining …

I watched this movie because occasionally the girls and I like to get together for some good chick flick fun. We’d heard this was one of the latest romantic comedies going around, and ‘Rome’ sounded nice and romantic and all that.
At the beginning, the movie seemed typical enough …

An animated telling of the tale about the team of man and sled dog combination that helped to bring much needed medicine to a remote location. People in the area start getting sick and the only route to get the medicine to make them better is by race to …

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 …

Becoming Jane is a movie about Jane Austen, the author of six deep and thoughtful romance novels that have all been made into movies, most of them more than once. The movie cannot be really called Jane’s biography, although there are some historical names mentioned. It so happens that …

Blowup is a strange British film about a London photographer who shoots some film in a park of a woman named Jane and another man. Jane, played by Vanessa Redgrave, desperately wants the film back, but the self-involved photographer isn’t very cooperative.
David Hemmings stars, along with Sarah Miles …

I had been dying to see Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy in this hot action thriller. But there are several things that I am really not happy with. First of all, Angelina was a bit too thin to really be considered a sex symbol. It is …

Watching Leonardo Dicaprio acting in Body of Lies, I could feel the tension brewing in his character and I watched this before when it was released in my country sometime last year.
There is something mysterious and foreboding whenever spy movies or movies that are filled with CIA Agents give me. …

Anne Hathaway stars as queen bee of her little crew in this film about white suburban kids in L.A. who are completely immersed in black culture. Films like “Black and White” capture this kind of phenomenon better. But Havoc shows the West Coast side of things. …

The sequel to the controversial horror movie Saw, which had many similiarities to Seven, but which I still thought had some quality and interesting storyline to it. A horror movie that didn’t quite follow the conventional rules. The story was about people being kidnapped by a psychopathic man. He …

There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …

John Carpenter is a filmmaker that used to be a master of the genre he worked in, but who lost all of his qualities in the 80s and only makes disasters nowadays. Prince of Darkness was made around the time when he was changing from a quality director into …

This is quite simply my favorite movie of all time, and that is saying a lot considering how many movies I have seen. This is one of the few films that I personally think is flawless. Indiana Jones is the best character to ever hit the big …

Casting: Salman khan, Bhagyasri
Mine Pyar kiya is a box office hit. It is a turning point to salman khan. This is a debut film for bhagyasri. Bhagyasri got an eternal fame with this movie. This is a love story. The narration of story is really good. Performances of salmankhan and …

I watched this movie today on lifetime movie network. They are doing this thing today called “the perfect sunday”. This was a pretty decent movie, overall I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint is that the ending could have been a lot better. I kind of felt like the ending …

The original and, in my honest opinion, without doubt the best of the series; Alien not only stands the test of time in its own genre, but in the landscape of film altogether.
While Alien has hardly been short changed by the critics and a vast audience, there are …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …

When I ran across this dvd at my local bargain shop for less than three dollars, new still in packaging I purchased it because I had heard from numerous sources that Gosford Park was an exceptional film. I had hopes of being at least mildly enetertained during this film.
Gosford …

I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …

I saw “Vajra Sky Over Tibet” yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham at the Pickford Theatre, our local independent, artistic theatre. The movie is a documentary that bills itself as a pilgrimage to Tibet. I described it to a friend as a spiritual and political travelogue.
This is a very good, …

In the bad and disappointing comedy series hall of fame, walks Gulliver’s Travels. The film retains in a certain extent the classic story of Gulliver in the land of dwarfs.
I do not know why certain changes were made in the script (probably have tried to adapt to today) so …

Swarmed is essentially a movie about a lot big, bad bugs, specifically wasps. It all starts with an experimental chemical that gets taken from a lab and sprayed on some wasps. It’s not a good thing. The wasps become more intense and people-hungry as the movie …

This movie was loosely based on an original concept � a movie made in 1934 called Death Takes a Holiday. The premise is that the Grim Reaper, on assignment to bring Bill Parrish away, decides to go on vacation first. He takes on the body of a recently deceased …

I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …

It’s been a long while since I truly enjoyed a 3D movie! Most of them are gory and that is not what I enjoy. I have been watching and watching, again, a 3D movie that is really fun to watch and totally with a “G” rating. My grandsons are …

Continuing from where the last movie left off, this is staged five years in the future when the aliens have returned to rescue the last of the remaining cocoons to take back home, on arrival, they are made aware that one of there kind has fallen into the hands …

My little son name “Jonathan” loves watching movies or T.V. rather than playing games. He love motivational movies, learning movies etc. For that reason, I look for the best movie for him. A knowledgeable movie so that he can learn from it, especially I am looking for a very …

I finally was able to watch The Lovely Bones last night. I am a big fan of the book. It has always been one of my favorite books of all time. Sadly, the movie didn’t matched my expectations. Although Peter Jackson made the movie in absolutely …

I am reviewing the movie, Market for Murder, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 2004 by Acorn Media Inc. It was produced by Brian True-May, was directed by Sarah Hellings, and was written by Andrew Payne. This movie was based on the …

Children of the Night is based on the true experience of Lois Lee, as played by the magnificent Kathleen Quinlan. Lee is a sociology student writing a dissertation so for research she contacts prostitutes, giving them her card and telling them to call her if they ever need …

Review of the movie Glitter. 2001.
Starring Mariah Carey, Max Beesley.
No wonder screenplay writer Kate Lanier took a four-year hiatus after her work on Glitter. I’m just surprised she didn’t have extensive plastic surgery, change her name, and flee the country in disgrace. Fortunately for her however, there is plenty …

Witness for the Prosecution is absolutely wonderful. The plot takes so many unexpected twists and turns that it keeps the viewers head spinning. In fact, by the time you get to the end, it’s like — wow! Incredibly, at the end of this film, the producer …

I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …

I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …
