Young at Heart movie
1954’s Young at Heart is one of my favorite movies. Interestly, though, I’ve changed how I liked it from when I was a little girl to how I like it as an adult. I always enjoyed it, but as a child, I wanted the resolution to the …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 1

Jeepers Creeper (2001)
I don’t know what they may say about Jeepers Creepers but I think this one of the scariest movies I’ve seen. It’s got a sequel Jeepers Creepers II, shown in 2003 but the first one is scarier. The creeper (played by Jonathan Breck) is some kind of …
Hang Em High
If you like Clint Eastwood’s western movies then you will like Hang Em High. It is one of his older westerns and is a very good movie to watch. We have several westerns in our library but this one is one of our favorites. It has alot of action, …

The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
“Glen Or Glenda” (1953 Film)
Glen Or Glenda- a movie known to film critics, enthusiasts, and just about everybody else who’s seen it as the worst film ever made. It was the infamous Edward D. Wood Jr’s first “feature” film, as well as his first and only starring role in one of his films …
Erin Brockovich movie
Erin Brockovich is in my opinion a semi-classic movie, which is good for watching many times over,rather than just once. For me it works at a lot of different levels, from being a simple “more power to women” movie, to a David v/s Goliath struggle against a large corporation, …
Aint It Cool News website
If you love movies as much as I do, then it stands to reason that you also like to hear about developments on movies that have yet to come out or about the different ideas being thrown around Hollywood and other parts of the world. You can get …

Tom and Jerry the Movie
My daughter is currently watching Tom and Jerry the Movie for the second time tonight. While she seems to enjoy the movie (which is probably the only thing that matters), I have to say I’m not a huge fan of it.
Overall, it isn’t a terrible movie, the cat and …
Blue Velvet (1986)
This 1986 movie, Blue Velvet, was my first introduction to the fantastic director David Lynch. A friend recommended I get this out on video (yes, it was a long time ago!) and by the end of it I was turned upside down and sitting there in shock and …
Deliver us from Eva (2003)
Trouble is afoot when the significant others of the sisters of Eva come together and convince a young man through payment to date the tyrannous woman. This is no easy task mind you, as Eva is the devil in disguise and none, not even her sisters can stand to …
Yours, Mine and Ours (2005 Film)
While the cast of the 2005 film “Yours, Mine & Ours” is respectable and some of my favorite actors are involved in it, the film itself did not do their skills much justice and was a flop. I found the film to be a re-make almost of other films …
Jumper (2008)
When I learned that the movie, Jumper, is showing on the big screen, I was quick to rush to the cinema the next day to stand in line to watch it. I wasn’t surprised when I saw a long queue on the first theatre I went to, so I …
She’s The Man
Amanda Bynes sizzles in She’s The Man. In this story, she plays Viola, helping her brother to be able to perform in London. His brother loves playing for his band so much and since he is in the soccer team at his school, Viola decides to act as …
A League Of Their Own (movie)
A League Of Their Own is a movie about women’s baseball. Evidently when World War II was going on, the women were left to fend for themselves, literally, in more ways than one. I knew that during the war, women were leaders in the work force because all the …
Born Yesterday (1950)
“Born Yesterday” is a 1950 Columbia Pictures black and white production provides 103 minutes of great fun. Locations shots were filmed throughout Washington D.C. “Born Yesterday” is, to quote the tagline, “a perfectly swell motion picture!” If you are one of those people who is hypersensitive to political correctness …
Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
It’s funny when I think about it, but I never wanted to watch this particular movie because it had Will Farrell and I had hated him ever since I watched the movie ‘Kicking & Screaming’ which was one of the most gawd-awful movies ever made in my opinion, so I …
Movie “The Lazarus Project” (2008)
This movie was meant to be a psychological thriller but it was not. Sure there was a twist in it, but I did not feel much thrill or suspense in watching it at all. To be really honest it was boring and slow.
The main character, Ben, commits …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …
Other People’s Money Movie
Starring Danny DeVito
Movies with Danny DeVito in them always seem to draw my attention as I realy believe him to be the trump card that has me sold, when considering to go ahead and watch the movie or not.
With the recent Danny DeVito festival on late night television, featuring …
Ma and Pa Kettle Go To Town
The second feature of the Kettle franchise was Ma and Pa Kettle Go To Town. Back again are Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbright in the lead roles. Richard Long also returns as their college graduate son, Tom. Still living in their new home, this 1950 movie …
Monsters University (animated movie)
Even though I tend to like animated movies I had put off watching “Monsters University” for a very long time. This was because I thought that I might find it to be too immature for my tastes since I had read quite a few bad reviews on it. Nevertheless, I …
Ghostbusters 2
This movie is the sequel the first Ghostbusters movie. It was released roughly five years after the first Ghostbusters movie as well. In this one, unlike a few other sequels of other movies, there is the same cast list for all of the main characters. Just like in “Ghostbusters”, …
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is another comic coming to the big screen that I sort of anticipated. One of my friends is working in a cinema as a ticket seller, and she managed to give me 2 sneak preview tickets for this show for …

The Talented Mr. Ripley
I’m not a big fan of Matt Damon (although I love him in Bourne Identity), but he was very good here in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Directed and written by Anthony Minghella and set in Italy amidst a
luxurious setting, The Talented Mr. Ripley is the story of Tom Ripley …
The Lone Ranger (movie)
I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Lone Ranger” some time earlier on this year, but there was something about it that did not make me interested in seeing the movie, despite the fact that the actor Johnny Depp was playing a main character. I figured out …

Baby Geniuses movie
I really love to watch this movie when I was still pregnant. I was amazed with how the baby were able to think very well although its a little fictional. I really love it since its very enjoyable seeing little babies talk to each other and how a little …
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 …
Blockbuster Online
I love ordering videos from Blockbuster Online. The service is great. For less than 20 dollars a month, we can order as many videos as we like and keep them as long as we like! You can have 3 out at any time. As soon as you send one …
Mr and Mrs Smith
‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ is an English movie and an interesting one. Mr and Mrs Smith are a married couple. In the movie, differences and conflicts arise between them. They lose patience with each other. On the surface, both of them are innocent people. Nobody would guess that they …
Alien Anthology (Blu-ray)
Here we have the four-disc Alien Anthology on Blu-ray. Being a huge Aliens fan myself i was really excited about this release but was a little concerned about what new features it would have to offer over the previous 9 disc DVD release Alien Quadrilogy. Being larger capacity discs the …
Event Horizon movie
Paul W.S. Anderson brings us one of his best cinematic efforts with Event Horizon, an original science fiction horror.
Sam Neill leads the cast as Dr. Weir, a scientist who in the not so distant future creates a revolutionary device which allows for swift interstellar travel. His creation; the ship …
Wanted Movie
I saw all of the previews and trailers for Wanted with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, so I felt I had to go see this movie in the theatre and could not wait until it comes to DVD. I like the way the movie introduced …
Dream Girls movie
Dream Girls with Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles, and Eddie Murphy.
Can a black musical become a present day movie hit? The answer is a resounding yes as three girlfriends from Chicago head to New York in a quest for stardom in a talent show at …
Cop Out movie
Cop Out is a movie which falls flat and a passable fare which trenches into deep falls scene by scene. When Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan share the screen for a police comedy, the expectations were to see a rollicking comedy and gags of laugh. But unfortunately Cop Out …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …
Spider man 3
I am not usually one who enjoys fiction super hero moview, or bookd for that matter. I also was not to impressed with either spider man one or two, but spider man 3 is a very exciting movie with action packed fight scenes that will keep you on the …
Movie Graveyard painfully predictable
Now that I have digital cable with plenty of movie channels to choose from, my nightly ritual is finding a good movie to watch before bed.
Graveyard is not one of those films.
The 2006 movie takes place at an abandoned summer camp (of course) and focuses on a group of …
The Pajama Game movie
Another really wonderful Doris Day movie is The Pajama Game. She plays Babe, and she’s a dynamic dame in the role, that’s for sure. She works in a factory that makes pajamas. The factory hires a new manager, played by John Raitt. Now there’s a …
