Singin’ in the Rain musical

Pride and Prejudice movie
Just yesterday I watched the new “Pride and Prejudice” on the CD, the movie didn’t live up to my expectations it was not all that good. The book gives sharp description of each character. Elizabeth is described as a beautiful intelligent girl but kiera knightly looked more like Joe …
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
The best way to describe this movie is a cute teenager movie with a humoristic twist. ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ is about 14 year old Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) who simply isn’t happy with her life. She dreams of having a boyfriend and thinks that she found the …
The Secret of the Grain Movie

A horror film by Joel Schumacher about a company of young vampires on motorcycles who attack a young man and his brother. It has reached cult reputation by some people who grew up in the 1980s when it came it, but personally I just found it a very long …
Leatherheads movie
George Clooney, Rennee Zellwegger play in this movie. It’s basically about football a long time ago. It was an entertaining movie. Other than that it was just a movie. If you are looking for a good story then I don’t recommend leatherheads. If you are just looking for a …

Gargoyles Season 2,Volume 1 DVD
I have been waiting for Disney DVD to bring us Gargoyles for a long time! As much as I enjoyed Season 1, I was really looking forward to Season 2 because, plot-wise, that is when the series really hit its stride.
If you don’t know anything about Gargoyles, it …

He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)
I don’t go to a lot of movies in the theatre, but I thought this one might be fun. It’s based on the book of the same name, and you can see this in the small vignettes in between scenes of the movie - occasionally you leave the action …

While she seemed to like …
LORO, movie (2018)
The beauty of individual things is undeniable only in our heads. Someone is sure that he ties his shoelaces beautifully or hangs stuff in the closet. The Italian Paolo Sorrentino is not sure of anything. He knows. He knows how to beautifully shoot a girl by the pool, shaving her …

Quentin Tarantino shocked the world with this daring film from 1992, that seemed to appear out of nowhere back then. It is a story told in flashbacks about a gang of criminals doing a big job on diamond theft and fails. One of the members is an under cover …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
The Reader
I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …

Coincidentally, after the dead of his brother, Junebug, Jack Spade returns from the Army, he follows up the death with the local police who inform jack that his brother died of Gold Overdose. LOL! This leads Jack to go out and seek revenge for his brother’s death, he goes …
Movie Next
Overall this was an alright movie. It has Nicolas Cage in it who plays a guy who can see what happens in the future, but only 2 minutes ahead of time other than this girl who he meets…he has seen her way before 2 minutes. Jessica Biel plays that …
Against the Ropes (2004)
This is a movie about boxing, and if you have ever seen a movie about boxing then you don’t really need to even bother yourself with this movie. The plot is very simple, it is about a woman who has offered to manage an up and coming middleweight fighter, …
Fight Club movie
When i went to see fight club i thought it was about a club involved in underground fights and money and all.But i was surprised to see that the movie had a bigger message to deliver, it was about the self-esteem, self-trust, and the inner power inside every human …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightening Thief movie 2009
I thought this movie was fun. The stories are a clever roundabout way to teach kids (and adults) about mythology, although some elements were altered a bit, if my memory is correct.
Since it was from the director of the Harry Potter films, I had expected a …

Hard Candy movie
There are few movies which can frazzle me. I typically can shrug off any gore or suspense thrown my way. I’m not easily affected. However, every so often, a movie comes along that picks me up, slaps me in the face, twirls me around and then …

Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ( Movie )
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the third installment movie franchise of the book The Chronicles of Narnia. There was a significant difference here as regards the main characters because it is only Edmund and Lucy were present. Susan and Peter were in America.
After being transported to …
Columbo: Undercover movie
In Columbo: Undercover, Ed Begley Jr guest stars as Irving Krutch, insurance investigator. We get 5 minutes of him in this offbeat role. He wore me out and he bore me at the same time. I lost interest in his shenanigans in his overdone storytelling. …
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 …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
The Jackal movie
The interesting thing about the movie “The Jackal” is that you end up liking both Richard Gere and Bruce Willis. Even though Willis interprets an evil character in this movie, you can’t help liking him for his great acting skills. I must also say that Gere has been equally …
Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …
Grizzly Rage
Grizzly Rage Starring Tyler Hoechlin Graham Kosakoski and Kate Todd
I got Grizzly Rage out because my husband and I were hoping to see a good old fashioned scary film. I have seen other movies where bears have attacked people and the bears are so fast and powerful that they …
Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …
Rainman
Ra-ra-ra-rainman. If you’ve never seen the perfectly flawless perfomance of an autistic man and his brother’s developing relationship, then you’re missing out on one of the great films of the 1990s. It’s iconic. Hords of gamblers went looking for autistic family members to take to Vegas with them. Well, …

The action and suspense picks up a bit more in this episode as Cameron discovers that Cromartie came through with them during time travel and that a shipment of refined coltan is suspected to be the metal component in construction of the terminators in the future war to come. …
“The score” movie
As always fantastic Robert De Niro and Edward Norton characteristic invite us to watch the gripping game between two experienced thieves. Which one gets the goods on forever providing a prosperous life?
Of course, I must admit that movies with similar plot is really a lot. Despite this, “game” remains …
Salt (movie)
In late 2010, me and a friend of mine wanted to go and see a nice action film in theatres and we were extremely delighted when “Salt” was released. Judging from what we saw in the trailer at the time, the movie seemed like it was going to have …
Mama, film by Andres Muschietti
First-time feature film director Andrés Muschietti tries with Mama, an expansion of his earlier short film similarly titled, to paint the horror genre into a warmer, more fantastical light, whilst at the same time keeping overused plot contrivances as a foundation, so that the modern audience might not feel …
Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
The Muppets (2011 film)
I wasn’t setting the bar too high for “The Muppets,” this year’s reboot of the eponymous franchise. I basically walked in with the mere hope that Jason Segel (of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” fame) and his collaborators weren’t going to run it even further into the ground (1999’s “Muppets from …
The Fourth Kind
I almost did not watch this movie. The beginning was so slow, I all most fell asleep. About the time I was going to take it out and try a different one, it got interesting. I am not a real believer of alien from other worlds visiting us or …
Movie Sister Act 2
Just one year from Sister Act 1, we got to see on big screen the actress, Whoopi Goldberg re-interpret the role of Sister Mary Clarence in “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit”. I must admit that this movie is good; however it isn’t as great at the first …
Halloween II (2009) Feature Film
Halloween II is the newest remake of the Halloween movies by Rob Zombie. It is a bit hard to follow if you are a fan of the series. This is the sequel to the first remake of Halloween made by Rob Zombie and it makes sense …
