Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …

Taken 2 (2012 movie)
I watched the original Taken movie, which was actually pretty good so I, for one, am glad to see another movie made. Before the movie, I was really worried that it isn’t going to be as interesting as the first one. Loved the gun fights, fist fights, and car …
Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …

This is that movie about Rescue Swimmers from the US Coast Guard. From the previews I had seen earlier, I had expected it to be mostly all action - terrifying action among huge ocean waves. And the movie did start out that way. In fact, the opening scene is …

“Hooligans” movie
Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …

Memory Movie
Memory has to be the most confusing and convoluted movie I have ever seen. I’ve been a big fan of Billy Zane for a number of years, and I’ve followed his career off and on. Since his role in Titanic, the man hasn’t had a lot of success save …
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010 Movie)
This movie opened today, and it was a huge disappointment for me just as I had expected. The past Harry Potter movies were already quite disappointing as it didn’t stick to the book and I honestly think white lies were made as to who did this and who did …

The movie Toy Story 2

The movie did not let me down either. I …
King Kelly of the U.S.A. movie
King Kelly of the U.S.A. was released in 1934 and actually had some entertaining moments. While it dragged here and there and was very vaudeville in spots, it still is pleasing to watch in today’s world.

Moon: Movie
Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …
Fire Wall
If anyone ever wants to know why I oppose a fourth Indiana Jones film, they should watch the movie Firewall.

The Night They Took Miss Beautiful movie
From 1977, this is a B-movie, if that, that takes beauty pageants and makes a joke out of them. The movie is called The Night They Took Miss Beautiful and stars some very recognizable names, such as Chuck Conners as Mike O’Toole, the head of the airport from …
Saving Sarah Caine movie
I saw previews of “Saving Sarah Cain” before watching another movie, and it looked like something I would not only want to watch but probably also add to my movie collection. I bought a DVD from Amazon shortly after that, and my husband and I watched the movie together.

Walking with Monsters: Before the Dinosaurs

Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …
Drag Me to Hell (UR, 2009)
I am soooo glad that I waited to see “Drag Me to H3ll” on DVD. Had I watched it in the movies, I would have been extremely disappointed. In any case, I didn’t like that the film was too much of a dark comedy with some cheesy …

Vampires: The Turning movie
There is a good reason behind why I find it hard to like many of John Carpenter’s movies. I find that most of them are mediocre with inferior acting, terrible makeup, a silly plot, and even sillier script and so on. Thus, like many of John Carpenter’s movies, “Vampires: …
Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy
Since I watched their film, Jack and the Beanstalk, I have been wanting to once again watch Abbott and Costello movies. So, I started watching one I haven’t seen before (except for the ending), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
