The Blob movie
My wife and I ended up blowing off our housework yesterday and watched movies all day. One of the films we saw was the 1958 classic “The Blob.”
Even though I’ve seen the sequels and remakes of the movie, I still feel this original is the best. Steve McQueen is …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
Drew Peterson: Untouchable, movie
I have to admit, that I don’t like a lot of Lifetime dramas since I believe that a lot of them are just plain mediocre when it comes to the acting, the plot and the overall way in which the entire thing was put together. There are even some …
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus movie 2009
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was one very interesting movie for several reasons. One, the story line is unique, but complex and hard to follow, requiring more than just casual attention. Heath Ledger starred in this film—“ and died during the production. Rather than scrap the …

My aunt treated me to the movies the other night, and we decided to watch Zodiac. It was just released in my country, and I have a great time watching this movie. Here is my review.

Secret Window
Secret Window is a great movie. Stephen King did a great job of writing the story for this film. I also think the music as also very well done, and I really did enjoy watching the movie a lot. I think this is one of the best films made …
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I usually like a movie I could somehow relate into. However, “Confessions of a Shopaholic” is one of those movies that I liked but could not really much relate to myself. It is about a woman who has a passion for shopping, which I don’t.
Being into shopping entails …
The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
This movie has the feel of a low-budget thriller. And at first I was reluctant to sit through an entire viewing. But since someone actually referred the movie to me, I gave it a chance. I am glad that I did. While I found …

RomeoXJuliet Episode 14
RomeoXJuliet Episode 14 has William smuggling Juliet and her Capulet loyalists out of Neo Verona to Mantua. Romeo is banished from Neo Verona and set to the Gradisca Mines and told not to come back until he doubles the mines’ production efficiency.
It’s nice to see Juliet …
Finding Nemo
Pixar does it again. Besides Cars, I have LOVED every Pixar movie, Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monster’s Inc., Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Wall e,; and Finding Nemo was no exception. In my opinion, they can to no wrong. This “kids” movie is one the best movies …
Art Of Revenge
Art Of Revenge is a Lifetime movie that starts off with a young, married couple who seems to have it all. Or at least that is what the movie producers want you to think. Art of Revenge started off, as I perceived the movie, with a whining wife and …
The Pink Panther (2006)
I understand this is just a remake of a movie that was originally produced in 1963 that starred Peter Sellers as the idiotic but kind hearted Inspector Clouseau.
As I see it, this is another one histerically funny movie that has the character combination of Mr. Bean and Johny English …
Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh Movie
It was because of Candyman why I avoided taking a shower for a week as a kid. I was afraid to be alone in the bathroom, much less pass by a mirror where I knew he would jump out and get me. I really liked the first movie and I …
Valkyrie: Movie
I thought that Valkyrie was a decent, very-well executed movie made better for me by the fact that it was based on true, historical events.
I think that the story is a very powerful one to tell, as not much is remembered of the Germans who hated Hitler as much …
Dave Chappelle: Killin’ Them Softly
Comedian Dave Chappelle performs his stand up routine in his hometown of Washington D.C. Most people know Chappelle from his popular television show called “Chappelle’s Show.” This DVD is an one full hour of pure gold. His stand up routine is the funniest that I have ever seen.
His stand …
He’s Just Not That Into You - Movie
I thought this is going to be another boring chick flick, but looking at the cast; with Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore, I knew deep inside that it is definitely a babes galore! And I’m right. Even if you don’t love this story plot, for guys …
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 …
Suspiria (movie)
Suspiria is a totally weird film, no doubt about that. I watched it because it was recommended as a cult horror classic and I was not disappointed. I loved the bright colors, the shots that were so psychedelic and keeping with the hip times, but sometimes Suspiria was a …
Stormbreaker movie
The best way to describe this movie is a modern time Indiana Jones teen movie. This film is based on the famous book of Anthony Horowitz but there seems to be a bit of a difference between the book and the movie version.
What I found interesting in this movie …
Tammy and the Bachelor
What Gidget is to the beach, Tammy is to rural America. Tammy and the Bachelor was the beginning of the Tammy franchise. Naturally, it’s the best of all of them, with Debbie Reynolds appearing as the charmingly honest and unsophisticated Tammy Tyree. Tammy and her grandfather …

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin and the chipmunks was the cutest movie for the whole family to see. If your looking for a really good family movie this is it. It has a great plot and very useful meaning. It was very amusing and had situations that even smaller kids could understand. It …
Protocol movie
Protocol is a nice little comedy about Sunny Davis, a cocktail waitress who saves a dignitary and goes to work for the government. It’s a crazy story that is as probable as it is improbable in this media-conscious world of ours.
Goldie Hawn is Sunny, an upbeat, innocent, and …
Superman The Movie
There are bigger budget superhero movies today but the first Superman movie is still the one they need to live up to.

You Don’t Mess with the Zohan
I always get overly entertained and would laugh like mad whenever I see performances by Adam Sandler. He has done it again this time and made me laugh like a crazy hyena in the newly title and newly released, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.
Zohan is …
Film Avatar
The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …

While Hollywood movies employ their share of historical advisors, movies are out to entertain, not to …
Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
OK, as far as Raiders of the Lost Ark is concerned, it�s a great movie in terms of action sequences and special effects, but the script leaves a little to be desired.
The first in the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Raiders of the Lost Ark has a slightly harder task …
Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) movie
I have been able to see almost every new movie being shown in cinemas right now because of the 1 year off I have gifted myself. And so far, I will rate Wall Street (Money Never Sleeps) as the most promising in terms of acting, story, excitement, and well, …

50/50 (movie)
With some of my favourite actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen featuring as the main characters in the movie “50 50″. The expectations were high, because both of these had done exceptionally well in the previous movies.
I knew what to expect from these names, and they didn’t disappointed …

Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie
I skipped this film in theaters because I wasn’t sure that I could sit through two hours of watching people pretend that a Real Doll (sex doll) was really the girlfriend of a local man. I realized upon watching this movie that I was right in my decision …
Step Up 2 Movie
I didn’t like this movie as much as I liked the first one. This is the sequel to Step Up and I think one of the main reasons I liked that movie was because of Channing Tatum. In this sequel, Channing Tatum is only in the movie for like …
Movie : The Proposal (2009)
In a previous movie review I had made mention of the fact that sitting down every now and then with the wife for a girlie movie can in rare cases result in finding genuinely good movies that are worthy of a bit of a aider recognition.

Even though I heard about it some time ago, I wasn’t very interested in watching the Disney animated movie Hotel Transylvania. While this wasn’t necessarily because I thought that it was going to be a bad movie, I was always just not in the mood to try to enjoy …
Black Swan Movie
2010 has not been a great year for movies. When the pickings are slim, you immediately notice the movies that get gleaming reviews for outstanding performances and innovation. Black Swan has been such a movie. It is difficult to avoid seeing the various ads and reviews for this film. …
Yankee Doodle Goes to Town movie short
I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …
