I have some special memories of Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?, the 1968 film that starred Doris Day and Robert Morse. My childhood best friend and I went to see this movie on the same day that we later went to the state fair. …

This movie depicts many woman’s ideal job. It would be fun, in my opinion, to plan the perfect wedding, nailing down every detail, including the perfect best man’s speech.
In this movie, JLo’s character is the best wedding planner at one of the top wedding planning companies. She is thought …

When the movie Interview with a Vampire came out, I thought it was a fantastic film. And, I still do think it is better than some of the so-called vampire movies that are out today (like Twilight). But, I have to tell you, I watched it again last night …

About the only thing I don’t like about My Fellow Americans from 1996 is the language. There’s a bit too much profanity in it for my taste, and I honestly don’t think it’s necessary to further the characters or the plot. So, with that one negative remark, …

This is the tragic story about three children getting brutally murderded in West Memphis about ten years ago. It’s a documentary style film that follows up the conviction of three teenagers suspected for the murders. The creators of the documentary gives their own view of what happened, and how …

David Lean’s version of Oliver Twist, filmed in 1948, is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the beloved Dickens novel. Dark and depressing, the movie well captures the misery of a poor orphaned child, raised by people who don’t care for him, starved and abused. The casting and …

I’ve liked many of the movies that I’ve seen the actor Daniel Craig in, and the same goes for Rachel Weisz, and so the movie “Dream House” looks interesting enough for me to see it in theatres when it was released. Lucky for me I couldn’t get to see …

This is another one of those creepy animal movies, this time being based on ancient Greek mythology. If you’re familiar at all with mythology, then you should know that Cerberus is the three-headed dog that belongs to Hades, God of the Underworld (land of the dead, afterlife). His dog …

This movie totally lived up to all the hype I heard about it. I personally am not a big Leonardo Decaprio fan and it was almost the reason I didn’t watch this movie. However I heard so many good things about it that I just had to suck …

Marvel has a lot of memorable characters. One of those characters that everybody knows is the Punisher. It may seem like an easy task to make a movie based around this character, but two prier films have shown that this character is better on paper that on the big …

There are four reasons I love Notorious. First, because it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. I think he was the best classic movie director. The next three reasons are the stars of the movie, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Rains was the supporting actor, …

Well, they managed to resurrect Freddy Krueger —“ the directors and producers have to, else they could not continue to make money from this horror legend.
From the previous movie, the remaining dream …

I had read the book a few years back, and I honestly never thought they would ever make a movie about it since it was literally just a bunch of letters that people had written to ask questions about their relationships. So, when I heard that the movie for …

I saw the trailer for the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” a little earlier than most people who I know, and even though I figured from the start that it would gain some amount of attention, it just didn’t interest me enough for me to make future plans …

I watched this movie yesterday and the ending today. Overall it was pretty good. It was more of a documentary about a young boy who goes off into the wild and lives on his own. He burns all of his identification.
I thought it was pretty good overall. It was …

We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.

I don’t usually watch much of the local television station Lifetime, but I’ve noticed that sometimes there are some interesting movies that are aired even though most of them don’t seem to be given much of a high rating by a lot of sources, including the internet movie database. …

This remake of a Thai film is, simply put, bad. The acting is stodgy and stilted at best, while the stylistic approach seems to follow that set by The Ring years earlier. It seems like, since the success of that horror movie, numerous new imitations and remakes of asian …

I really liked the movie What about Bob?. I think Bill Murray was very funny as the character of Bob. Bob is a guy who has mental problems and has to go see a shrink. He also is very paranoid and scared of everything. I think it’s very funny when …

I like to watch movies and one of my favorite actors is Jim Carry
He can play almost any type of roll and you will enjoy him. We watched the movie called Bruce ALmight the other dayand in this move it also starred Morgan Freemond. I enjoy watchin him act …

There is something about the presence of John Cusack in a teen comedy that elevates it to something quite fresh. Not that it works all the time, but a good exampe of it in effect is in Rob Reiner’s The Sure Thing.
Perfectly cast as Gibb, Cusack makes his character, …

I was home sick yesterday and found myself watching Star Trek Nemesis for the first time in several years.
I has been a long time since I last saw the movie so I had no memory of what it was about. And, compared to other Star Trek movies, I think …

I love going to the cinema. I love the whole experience. Seeing the film on the big screen, eating hot dogs and popcorn and drinking soft drinks. For me the entire experience is enjoyable and I’ve sat through some fairly mediocre films just because i enjoy going to the …

This is one such movie that really gives an adrenaline rush to the spectators. Not only it proves to be a full-fledged entertainer but also teaches us that greed always leads to the downfall. The movie is about gambling and how one can get addicted to gambling and …

This movie crosses …

“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …

I am reviewing the movie, The Green Man, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This movie was made in 2003, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by author Caroline Graham.
In this movie, The Green …

Shutter Island is a film that deserves much more attention than it has gotten. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a tarnished detective who is sent to find an escaped prisoner on an island and lands in a huge conspiracy with many twists and turns. The acting from the entire cast …

This is a wonderful, unfairly little known and even more unfairly not-yet-released-on-DVD comedy starring the great George C. Scott. If you are a fan of George Scott, definitely check it out! He plays (wonderfully) a veteran con artist named Mordecai Jones who maintains that “you can’t cheat an honest …

I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of my favorite films from the director Tyler Perry. In my honest opinion I feel like this one of his best pieces compared to some of his recent work. I also call this one a classic because it’s well …

This movie is one of my favorites from the late young actor Heath Ledger. In fact, thinking about it now I’m not sure which one of his movies I didn’t like. Nevertheless one of the reasons why I liked this movie was because it appealed to the …

I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …
