While dangerous, the man is also charming and likable. Then we meet Dan Evans, played by Christian Bale. He’s a family man, dedicated, …
Igor movie
I rented the movie Igor through Netflix this weekend and, when I did, I really didn’t know what to expect from it. I had seen some previews but they didn’t reveal enough of the movie to let me know if it was something I was going to like or …
The Notebook movie
Although I don’t watch as much romantic movies as I do action/adventure thrillers, I saw The Notebook and I totally loved it. It really made me cry. It’s about Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), a young, wealthy teenage girl who vacations with her family to North Carolina. There she meets …

The Glass House Movie
This movie has a really nice title but it’s hype and mystery isn’t at all what it seems to be. This movie features 2 young orphans who are taken in by their guardians who were really close friends of their parents and of their family as well; at first …

Friday the 13th Part 8
I realize that most people think this is the worst film in the entire series of Friday the 13th movies, but I actually did like it. I think what I liked the most was that it almost feels as if the producers know people will think it’s cheesy so …
Silent Hill Movie

Anger Management (movie)
Anger Management is a movie with Adam Sander and Jack Nicholson as Dave and Dr. Rydell, respectively. You might wonder how these two actors play off each other, and I felt they did very well in Anger Management. I like Adam Sandler but really adore Jack Nicholson. Adam Sandler …
Next (2007)
“Next,” released in April 2007, features Nicolas Cage as a Las Vegas magician who has a unique gift: he can see into the future. Not very far, only two minutes. However, even this can be enough to, say, prevent a crime. But Chris, the magician, does not want to …
Tower Heist Movie (2011)
I went to see Tower Heist last night with my friend, and be both agreed that it was one of the best movies we have seen in a long time. While we expected that a movie featuring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy absolutely has to be good, we never …

The Gift - Psychological Thriller Movie (2015)
I watched the movie, The Gift, because of its interesting trailer and it seemed to be on the cusp of horror (I’m a big fan of horror). I didn’t expect to be extremely impressed by the movie but nearly two hours later, I was definitely satisfied. The Gift is more …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, is one of the best Frankenstein movies that has ever been made. This movie is so powerful that it moved me in a way that no other movie ever has. It stars Robert De Niro, who is an incredibly talented actor, as …

If you’re a movie lover but don’t enjoy the hassle of taking trips to the store, standing in line, and taking the movies back to the store to return them, I recommend signing up for a Netflix account. I joined just three short months ago and I LOVE …
The Joy Luck Club (Movie)

Sing Street (2016 Film)
This is it, I’m not even holding myself by immediately saying, “I found my favorite film of the year.” Because what guys? It’s everything and more that I wanted from director John Carney. I’m still definitely in awe since last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found …

The Parent Trap (remake)
I am very skeptical about remakes, and since the original The Parent Trap was one of my all time favorite family films, when I saw the remake arriving on the scene in 1998, I was concerned, big time. Happily, though, I found the remake to be delightful. It’s …
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 …
Thor (2011) Movie
I have for a long time been an amateur of legendary or epic figures, and especially those present in the Norse culture. For this very reason, I was unsure about watching this movie, being afraid that it might be more in the Hollywood style and not reflect the true …
Happy Feet Movie
I had heard this so much about this small penguin and having in my brain the popular saying “where there are a lot of cherries hold a small basket”, I was little circumspect with the particular animation movie. Also, I believed that after “Searching for Nemo” hardly another animation …
That Thing You Do movie
Tom Hanks wrote and directed That Thing You Do as well as having a minor role in the production. It’s a great movie, with some neat memories intertwined. The story is about a small town band that finds national, teen-idol success, forever changing their lives and their …

Caffeine (NR, 88) movie
I saw that Mena Suvari (of American Beauty) and Breckin Meyer were in this offbeat comedy. I thought it would be more about a diner with quirky characters. But it’s actually about a trendy looking café in London with quirky characters. The story itself …

Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
I admit to being a bit apprehensive when I checked this movie out, mainly because I had not liked the first “Garfield” movie. Mainly I had thought Garfield had acted a tad too mean in it. But to my utter surprise, this movie was a real delight to watch. …
