Movie : Date Movie (2006)
Oh how I love these kind of movies…. You know, the ones that spoof genres and imitate many films at the same time. Examples of these are ones like SCARY MOVIE, DANCE FLICK, THE NAKED GUN, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE etc… One of the main reasons I like these …
Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.
My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …

Eddie Murphy character in this movie is that of a no nonsense police officer and hostage negotiator. When he encounters a ruthless killer, who will stop at nothing to get what is his, Eddie’s character manages to outsmart him and puts him behind bars, but this was not for …
School For Scoundrels
I had the opportunity to watch the movie School For Scoundrels. Now on paper I thought this would be a funny movie. It stars Billy Bob Thornton (Bad Santa, Bad News Bears) and Jonm Heder (Napolean Dynamite) as the lead charecters with Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live), …

Komodo vs. Cobra (KvC) (2005) Movie
This is a very excellent monster or creepy animal picture. From the beginning the movie held my attention and didn’t let go until the end. There are two giant monsters in this movie: a komodo dragon and a cobra. Both are fast and deadly, although the komodo had a …
The Simpsons Movie
I can’t remember the last time so much hype surrounded a movie. With many convenient stores around America dressed in “Kwik-E-Mart” colors, a year’s worth of trailers and even a giant Homer Simpson next to the Cerne Abbas giant (both visible from space), it wasn’t surprising that many critics …
50 First Dates movie
I must admit, at first I thought that this movie, 50 First Dates is just another love story with a touch of comedy and humor. But I was wrong. Maybe others are looking at this movie that way, but for me, it is also a story of a great …
Hoodwinked movie
My family and I recently rented the new kids movie Hoodwinked. If you don’t know about this movie than let me give an overview of it. Hoodwinked is about the story Little Red Riding Hood with a bit of a twist. Little Red delivers desserts for her grandmother. As …
The Cutting Edge
I’ve seen this movie so many times that I can recite some of the dialogues already. The Cutting Edge is actually one of my most favorite romantic movies of all time. I never get tired of watching
it. It’s a story about a young and talented hockey player, Doug, (D.B. …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
Fool’s Gold movie
This movie has Matthew Mchonuaghey and Kate Hudson. They were once married in the movie and at the beginning of the movie they are getting a divorce. Matthew plays Fin and Kate plays Tess. Fin tries to find gold and runs into a lot of people that want to …
Spider-man: Homecoming - (Movie 2017)
It almost seems every few years we have a new Spider-man franchise. While I’m definitely a fan of the days where Toby Maguire graced the screens as Peter Parker/Spider-man, Spider-man: Homecoming took me to a more refreshing look at Spider-man himself.
The Spider-man franchise starring Maguire and …
Snatch
“Snatch.” is a Guy Ritchie production with a similar story line to the movies “Lock, Stock and Two Barrels” and “Pulp Fiction”. This is the movie were you see Brad Pitt speak with a funny accent that can be hardly understood and it is also the movie were you …

Far and Away
I have often seen this movie being aired on the Starz Western channel. However, I never took an opportunity to watch it throughout the years. This was because I somehow thought that I might find the movie boring despite the fact that I had seen clips of it featuring …
Unstable movie
This movie premiered on Lifetime Movie Network last Sunday. It premiered after there little event went off called “the perfect sunday”. I enjoyed watching most of the movies that day but this one had to be my favorite that day. The actors, especially the main two actors were really …
Shaun of the Dead
Shaun of the Dead is a British romantic comedy/horror film featuring Simon Pegg as the bumbling slacker Shaun who is forced to save his family and friends from a town full of bloodthirsty zombies. While this movie sports lots of zombie gore, it is almost cartoonish or Monty …
Dark Harvest
Well, when I rented the film Dark Harvest, I thought it would turn out to be something scary. Instead, it turned out to be yet another terrible horror film that lacked both scares and believable plot.
You have a guy who is adopted and seeks to learn more about his …
Movie Curse of the Devil 1972
Why would you make a werewolf movie with a title that evokes an Exorcist rip-off?
More Waldemar the Werewolf fun has Paul Naschy once again donning the furry costume to bring mayhem on the villagers. Only this time, it is a pretty tired exercise that misses the fun and wacky …
In Bruges
I became interested seeing In Bruges after I found out about the cast and the great script. But nothing would have foretold me how amazing this movie will turn out. First of all, it stars Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes and it is about two hitmen (Farrell …
Jumper movie
“Jumper” was one of my favorite movies released in 2008. In fact, I did not know about the movie until I saw it advertising a little before it went into theatres. When I saw it advertising I wanted to see it a lot, but I knew I would neither …

30 Days of Night Movie
From the Director of Hard Candy, comes a not so average vampire flick. Produced by Sam Raimi who brought you the Evil Dead series. This movie isn’t life changing, but it absolutely deserves a watch!
This film captured my interest for the sheer fact it was a vampire movie! Over …
Around the World in Eighty Days movie
The classic story by Jules Verne about a an english adventurer who takes a bet of him travelling around all the world in as little as 80 days (which was very, very little once). This version of the story has been hailed as the best one, but I can’t …
Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man has rekindled my interest in Spike Lee movies (or —˜joints’ I should say) as it was thoroughly enjoyable, witty, with a great twist. Lee was doing quirky, witty hard-hitting movies before Tarantino came along. The film starts with Clive Owen, playing the part of Dalton …
Opal Dream DVD Movie
When I watched Opal Dream DVD movie, I am suddenly reminded of my little cute cousin. She is slightly older than 3 years of age, and she always have imaginary friends to talk to. I do know that fact, because she will laugh and dance away and …

Evangelion:Death & Rebirth
A film based on the manga series called Evangelion. The story of this series is very, very complicated if you don’t know it well, and this film is definitely made for fans only, which is a shame I think because it has a lot of interesting qualities. The audience …
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
The other day I had nothing to do so I called a couple of my friends to go out and watch a movie. We got to the Famous Players at Metropolis and watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World; a movie I had been dying to see. The movie is …
Cinderella movie
Compared to the thousands of other Disney films that have come out since, Cinderella is far from the best animated film ever made. However, it’s still a real treat to watch whenever you have a family movie night.
Of the dozens of re-tellings of the Cinderella story, Disney’s version is …
Movie: Baby Mama
“Baby Mama” is a silly, uninteresting piece of uninspired film-making starring Tina Fey as a woman desperate to have a baby. She has always put her career first, but now the 37-year old Kate longs for a baby even though she is not married, and apparently does not have …
Barbie Butterfly
Not only are my little nephews and nieces get psyched about the animated Barbie Butterfly, in fact, I do too. And you have a few flying butterfly characters of a Barbie beauty or should I say Barbie Butterfly. The main character is Mariposa, and she is a very …
Clue
I was flipping channels last night and came across a movie classic; Clue.
I rarely meet other people who enjoy this movie as much as I do; which is too bad considering I could watch this film 100 times in a row and never get tired of it.
What’s not to …
Barney CD
This cd is from the Hit TV series. In this cd the new character BJ is introduced for the first time. He is yellow all over, has purple spots, a bright green tummy and red sneakers, Barney’s new dinosaur friend. Everyone of us have some …
Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
Movie The Dark Knight
My family and I saw this movie over the weekend. Our family includes me age 35 female, my husband age 35 male, and our son age 16. All of us really enjoyed the movie.
I think Heath Ledger did a wonderful job as the Joker. He brought something new …

Chloe Movie (2010)
I could not imagine Amanda Seyfried to star as a provocative and sexy role as Chloe. When I read about Chloe and how it was released in limited number of theaters, I was curious to see how she would pull it off.
Chloe is a film that stars Julienne …
Movie: “Europa Europa” (1990)
“Europa Europa” from Central Cinema Company is a 1990 movie in German, Russian, Polish, and Hebrew. It was filmed in color on locations in Poland and lasts 112 minutes. I turned on the English subtitles and was able to fool myself that I understood the German portions.
The movie “Europa …
Weather Man: movie
Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …
Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Two for the Road: A Stanley Donen Film (1967)
This is definitely my favorite Stanley Donen film. I watched this movie last New Year’s Eve, and though, I was willing to let go of those bygone memories, I never could forget “Two for the Road.” Because I love Audrey Hepburn, there’s no other particular reason that …
Warren Haynes DVD
I have been very lucky to find a DVD of an excellent benefit concert, recorded live at Warren Haynes 18th Annual Christmas Jam on December 16, 2006, at the Asheville Civic Center, North Carolina. DVD is recently released, on June 24, 2008.
