Blockbuster
At first I loved this service. I loved picking my two DVDs out online, getting them in the mail, watching them, returning them, getting two new ones at the store, and getting two other ones in the mail the next day. It seriously was a fast return and like …
13 Going on 30
13 Going on 30 is a delightful comedy that has been done many times before, but still succeeds in getting plenty of laughs.
The movie is about a young girl, Jenna (Jennifer Garner) who goes to bed as an uncool thirteen-year-old and wakes up the next morning in an unfamiliar …
Twilight Movie
I rented the Twilight movie finally yesterday to watch it and see what all the hype was about. I have read the book so I knew the plot line already. I was mostly watching to see how they took the story to the big screen.
The first thing …

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Even though I have yet to attempt to read the books, I actually enjoy the Harry Potter movies when they come out. However, the fourth installment of the series, The Goblet of Fire, seems a bit weak compared to the first three.
I think part of it is the characters …
Calendar Girls
This story is awesome and it has a wonderful cast, including one of the lead, Helen Mirren. Someway or another, I think this movie was made close to the truth or rather, something inspirational of the real story and the title suits really.
The story is funny and I love …
Danville Stadium Cinemas, Danville Virginia
The Georgia Theatre Company operates many movie theatres in the southern areas of the United States, and Virginia is no exception. The only theater provided in the Danville, VA area is the Danville Stadium Cinemas 12 (although I’m unsure of why the name is plural).
As the Danville Stadium is …
The Cell Movie
I only saw this movie recently on HBO and I hadn’t really watched this movie in the big screen; it’s a suspense/mystery/thriller movie which features Jennifer Lopez as a social worker who enters the mind of a comatose serial killer so she can figure out where the latest kidnap …
Casino Royale
Bond movies recently have not lived up to there predecessors from the Connery or Dalton days. So, Casino Royale is just another money grab with the 007 nametag right? Wrong. Not only is this one of the best Bond movies, it is also one of the …

The fourth installment of the Fast and the Furious story-line takes us back to events prior to the events in part 3. Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew are ripping off tankers in the Dominican Republic when Dom gets a feeling the Feds are closing …
Valentine’s Day movie
The movie Valentine’s Day is named perfectly and this movie truly qualifies as a romantic comedy in true sense. It has been a while that I have seen such a multi starrer movie. In my opinion the star casting of this movie is working mostly to its advantage. But …
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 …
To the Bone, original Netflix movie
I love the movies that give you something to think about. Sometimes I watch the movies that might disgust me or make me cry, but those movies cause more emotions than any horror movie, watched alone in the darkness. “To the bone” is one of those movies that give you …
Movie: Haunting of Winchester House
I wanted something to watch late last night that was interesting but didn’t have a plot that was overly complicated. So, I fell back onto my usual horror genre and picked out one that seemed interesting; Haunting of Winchester House.
I actually was familiar with the Winchester House legend (thank …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …
Erin Brockovich Movie
Erin Brockovich is a movie which mainly depicts the secret of women power and how to utilize that to win over the struggle against the general issues of single motherhood in our male dominated society. Julia Roberts as “Erin Brockovich” was simply superb and mind blowing.
Erin Brockovich, a …
The Prince and Me Movie
This is one of my favorite films, it’s one of todays classic fairytale of an ordinary girl who meets a stunning handsome prince. It’s almost like Cinderella, but in a young adult version. I always like stories about fairytales and rags-to-riches stories.
Paige meets Eddie a charming Danish prince at …
The Bodygaurd movie
The Bodyguard is a romantic-suspense film brilliantly directed by Mick Jackson, and beautifully written by Lawrence Kasdan.Starring one of my favorite singer Whitney Houston who plays here as Rachel Marron, a pop music superstar, whose lifestyle is like the President’s. One of her fans is stalking her and has …
In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …
Mighty Ducks
I was watching movies last night on TV (the baby had a late night) and came across Mighty Ducks. God, I hate that movie and regret not being able to get the remote to change the channel.
When it first came out, I was in college near Minnesota and can …
The Quiet Ones (2014 Supernatural Horror Movie)
I was actually in the mood to watch a supernatural horror movie yesterday and I couldn’t believe my good luck when I saw a description for a movie on the cable guide that looked like it would be pretty good. I’d never watched a trailer for the movie “The Quiet …
Hard-Boiled movie
A film by Hong Kong man John Woo about two police officers who are forced to work together for different reasons. Very similar to another film of his, The Killer. Woo uses a cinematic language this is very impressive in many ways, and very beautiful too. But it is …
Firstborn,1984 movie
This is another depressing movie, of the kind I dislike. I mean, life can be depressing enough, so why take its darkest things onto the screen and drag them on and on? Not that I’m totally opposed to movies showing negative reality, but come on, sometimes enough is enough.
Anyway. …
Muppets From Space
I grew up watching the Muppet Show on television and always wondered what exactly Gonzo was supposed to be. Turns out he’s a space alien.
Muppets in Space is a great movie for the family to watch. It has all the muppet characters in it on an adventure to find …
Brothers movie
Note: This review contains spoilers!
“Brothers”, starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman is a movie that suffers from bad marketing. When I saw the trailer for it, I was expecting a psychological thriller, and instead found the movie to be more of a run of the mill drama. …

A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …
Vertigo
I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …

Johnny Depp play a direputile pirate …
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …
The Cube (1997)
Bringing new meaning to “torture porn”, Cube is a surprisingly good low-budget film, but it is not for the faint of heart. Following seven strangers who wake up in a strange cube with no memory of how or why they got there. There confusion is quickly changed to horror, …
S.W.A.T movie
This movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez and LL Cool J. This is really a good movie and everyone can just learn a lot from it. Everyone can truly appreciate the work of SWAT members.
Jim Street (Colin Farrell) made a big mistake in his mission when …

Kissing a fool
I actually chose to watch this movie because the actor David Schwimmer was starring in it. I though I was going to watch just an average movie, however I had a very pleasant surprise since this is a very good movie.
It seems that this movie was one of the …
Jupiter Ascending (2015)-Movie
Jupiter Ascending is a average yet visually amazing movie.When i say average i am still being a bit generous because i believe despite the fact that it is forgettable movie, still it is a result of handwork of creators.They organized everything perfectly for it but things didn’t worked according to …
Star Trek
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new movie Star Trek this past weekend. I have seen so many attempts to re-make other movies that have gone wrong and I was afraid they might have tried to take on too big of a challenge.
However, I have to admit, …
Maternal Instincts
This is one of my favorite movies that lifetime has ever played. It’s not my favorite but it definately is one of them. It’s about a woman whose husband goes ahead tells the doctor to do a hysterectomy on her. Well she really wanted a baby and it seems …
God Grew Tired of Us
I just finished watching the documentary called “God Grew Tired of Us.” It starts out with the story of thousands of young men who have to flee their country, Sudan, as a violent war breaks out. These young men are forced to leave their families and many …
The Stoning of Soraya M
First thing’s first. If you love foreign films, you must check this film out. If you don’t like foreign film’s, especially if it’s because you don’t like to read and watch movies at the same time, you must learn to read and watch and then check this …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
Paranormal Activity
Before we watched this movie, my husband told me that this is a true story and the actors were the real person behind it. I didn’t checked it at that time if it were true. Then we watched the movie and somehow, I felt that some of the scenes …
Movie Talk to Me
Talk to Me is a lovely movie and I recommend for all to go and watch it. If you are late, go and rent a DVD or whatever means, but you have to WATCH IT. I recommend it 100% because I love watching this movie pretty much. …
Tina Fey (actress, producer)
I have way more respect for actress Tina Fey since I started watching episodes of ‘30 Rock’ on DVD. I caught one episode when it first came on the air. But for some reason, I never followed up on the program. When Tina Fey …
The Odd Couple II
Sequels are often just the worst things under the sun, often taking the original characters to ruin. There are few that really are true to the story, that follow it through and make it all believable. Sometimes you still enjoy the original better, but even so, you …
