The Count of Monte Cristo Movie

Bend it like Beckham (2002)

Batman Begins (Movie)
Everyone I knew told me to go see Batman Begins because they thought I would love it. I’m a fan of comic books, and I own nearly every comic book themed movie in the world. Still I could tell from the previews that it was a movie I just …
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Jim Carrey has always been a very cool and talented actor. And I remember after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I feel that this is something like the effect of having a too much technical jargon of a life.
I wouldn’t ever trade my previous memories …
The Princess Diaries movie
I saw The Princess Diaries in the theater when it came out in 2001, and I have seen it a couple times since then. Anne Hathaway (the main character) is one of my favorite actresses (due, in part, to this movie). It is about a girl who …

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It was an exhausting movie, with action everywhere, and debris flying all over the place. I am not a big transformers fan (probably because I am a girl), although I appreciated the effects of this Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. I grew up watching my brothers fight over …
Michael (1996)
Michael, this movie stars John Travolta as an angel. What kind of angel you may be asking? And the answer is…the kind with actaul wings. The character portrayed the angel as a less than holy image, one that brings the heavenly host closer to home and puts it in …

Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …

Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)
The Steven Spielberg remake of the famous War of the Worlds 1953 movie was downright disappointing. The movie borders on awful, and really doesn’t come through. Despite the good cast, it was poorly directly and badly written. While the original movie was inspiring and filled with tension, …

Cinema Paradiso (1988 film)
This film made me cry. Maybe because I’m prone to nostalgia or maybe because I’ve always loved cinema, and “Cinema Paradiso” (”Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” by its original Italian title) is both a movie steeped in nostalgia and a movie obviously made by a lover of the movies.
The story of …

All About Steve
I enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, because they are generally lighthearted, feel-good romps which also teach a lesson, however cliché, about human nature and kindness. Although she has recently begun to choose roles a little more serious and substantial than her usual romantic comedies, I knew All About Steve would …
Black Beauty, the Movie
Black Beauty, Anna Sewell’s classic novel about the life and hardships of a black stallion in a 1870s England, proved to be a timeless piece of literature that would soon find its way onto the big screen. The sequence of events throughout the novel takes just as much importance …
