Movies Reviews
ROPE-Alfred Hitchcock
Over-hyped, just like some of the Godard or Spielberg movies, this film too is rather carried off by the star-value of the director than the content itself. The very concept that the director has tried to work in the film (it was an experimental venture by his …
Barney and friends CD
This is a wonderful cd where Barney, the purple dinosour and his friend, baby Bop and BJ teaches little children on how to play safe. They share lessons with the kids about safety rules for playgrounds and parks, while still having fun. Also in this CD the pretend …
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I didn’t have very high hopes in this movie so my expectations were very low. I didn’t think it would be possible to be any worse than I had imagined, BUT, I was wrong. First off, the movie is never scary to me. A man in …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (Film )
So instead of reviewing “music” exclusively, I decided perhaps I could try reviewing movies too, since I’m basically a huge movie fan too! And perhaps, as I’m hoping, my film reviews will be as much as valuable for this site too. This review is spoiler-free.
I watched “Me and Earl …
Shinobi
Amazing culture and imagination always represented Japan.This movie is one reason why.With only a fraction of the budged of all-day American high-rated movie,Shinobi turned out a great story to watch.It is happening in the XVI century,where two mysterious rival clans of a breed of fighters called Shinobi are put …
Transformers The Movie
The series which this movie is based on is undeniably one of my all-time favorites since I was a kid. Now that Michael Bay together with Steven Spielberg made Transformers into an extraordinarily amazing movie, my interest in Sci-Fi movies has broadened into such great fascination that I became …

Movie: “Prince of Egypt” (1998)

“Ice Twisters” the movie 2009
Just from reading the synopsis on Netflix, Ice Twisters looked as if it was going to be a lower budget copy-cat disaster movie with a weather theme. That’s exactly what it was. But, to be fair, it was enjoyable, more so than I would have expected. When the film …
Final Destination Movie
“Final Destination” is a good horror movie about what happens when you try to escape death. Of all the horror movies I’ve scene, I honestly thought this film had a great cast: Ali Larter, Devon Sawa, Kerr Smith, Tony Todd, and Seann William Scott.
The movie is about a …
Grown Ups Movie (2010)
I just recently saw the Grown Ups movie. This is a movie that stars and was produced by Adam Sandler and Happy Madison production. This movie stars Adam Sandler’s friends like Rob Schneider, David Spade, Chris Rock, Kevin James (Albert in Hitch!) and Salma Hayek. There are also the …
Date Night Movie (2010)
Every movie Steve Carrell makes I am loving him more and more. It seems he just gets better at what he does best - acting comedic parts that aren’t really supposed to be funny. I know it doesn’t like a complement but he really is a good actor and …
Movie How to Deal
Once again, I have to admit, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Mandy Moore whenever I see her in a movie. And, this time it was on Lifetime.
Her film How to Deal is actually an interesting look into the mind of a teenager. She comes from a divorced …
An American Werewolf in London movie
American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …

The other day I had nothing to do so I called a couple of my friends to go out and watch a movie. We got to the Famous Players at Metropolis and watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World; a movie I had been dying to see. The movie is …

The Village.

That was until we bought the movie The Village.
This is one …

Movie: Blackbeard the Pirate
I was flipping channels the other morning and came across a pirate movie called Blackbeard the Pirate.
I hadn’t seen this movie before but love older films like this so I figured I would sit down and watch it while everyone else was still asleep. After seeing it, I honestly …
West Side Story
Who can forget the wonderful musical, West Side Story? No one that I know. This is Romeo and Juliet brought to us on the streets of New York. It’s vibrant and colorful, and yet it’s just as tragic as the Shakespearean love birds previously mentioned.
Natalie Wood …

Before sunset - staring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy
My boyfriend and I recently watched the 2004 film Before Sunset starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Although the film was a little slow going, we really enjoyed it. I suppose you’d describe it as romantic comedy. Julie Delpy is brilliant. We also saw her …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (PG-13, 2008)
This was absolutely one of the best films that I have ever seen. I now understand why there was such hype when the Oscar rolled around. In any case, I really feel that Brad Pitt has his finger on the pulse of quality acting. When I …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …
A Daughter’s Nightmare (2014, TV movie)
A Daughter’s Nightmare directed by Vic Sarin is one of those thrilling TV movies that send waves of current down your spine. I couldn’t be more impressed after watching this brilliant crime thriller that is probably one of the best of its kind. After the death of Ariel’s father …
Ghost World comedy
Great comedy staring the then-not-so-popular Scarlett Johansson. This movie also stared Thora Birch, and one of my favorite actors, Steve Buscemi. Ghost World is based off of the comic book title of the same name, it I promise you, this will be one of the best comedy-drama movies you’ll …
Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …

Last week I decided to learn a bit more about the second world war, I think it is important to know how it went and what happened during that war. So I decided to view a documentary about it. The reason I watched this specific documentary is because it …
The North Avenue Irregulars movie
This 1979 Disney movie, The North Avenue Irregulars, is a real hoot. I didn’t see it initially, but came to it years later when I saw it on cable. I was hooked. Now I watch this movie whenever I can find it on TV, which isn’t …

The In-Laws (2003)

Penelope (movie)

Warlock movie
I found this movie a lot of fun. It seems to me a mixture of genres: a little bit fantasy with the magic, a little bit action with all the running around and a little bit horror with the bad guy killing people. The movie is well made and …

Alien Vs. Predator Requiem (AVPR)

Cold Souls Movie
Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …
