Airplane! film
In terms of Parodies, Airplane! is my absolute favorite. You will be rolling on the floor with laughter the entire film. Starring funny actors Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Hays, and Leslie Nielsen, this movie is not just a classic one, but an entertaining one.

My husband and I both agree that this DVD is simply amazing!

Champagne Charlie movie
About a man called Charles Heidsieck, a wealthy person who lived in the 19th century, who is famous for the fact that he introduced champagne in America. What I find awkward about this film is that it doesn’t focus on the champagne itself, or what it had as effects …

KingKong (2005)
I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.
Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a secretary for a publishing company who is in love with her boss (Hugh Grant) who shamelessly flirts with her (and her skirt!). After the pair have …

This movie is one of my favorite. Any person that enjoys the movies about bank robbery and hacking type of movies will truly love this film. I have always enjoyed gambling and like many individuals have tried to beat the casinos by trying many different systems. This movie tells …
Slap Shot
The best ice hockey movie ever made: Slapshot. Made in 1977, this was not considered a Hollywood blockbuster, but rather a “B” rated movie. The only famous actor in it was Paul Newman.
Back then, professional hockey in North America was ferocious with teams full of goons and fighting. But …
The Men Who Stare at Goats Movie
The Men Who Stare at Goats opening credits proclaim “More of This is True Than You Would Believe” and I don’t doubt it for a second.

Twilight: The Movie
I have mixed feelings about Twilight: The Movie. I can’t believe, first of all, how many GOOD reviews it has gotten. At the beginning it was just slow and painful to watch. I was the one to drag my fiance to go see it and I was the one …
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 …

Clawed the Legend of Sasquatch (2005) Movie
I watched this horror movie last night and it was much better than I had expected. I had never seen a movie about a sasquatch (bigfoot) before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m happy to say this picture kept me entertained until the end. The plot was …
Batteries Not Included
If you guys were disappointed with the recent Disney Movie Wall-E, and still want a good movie with robot type creatures, Batteries Not Included is for you ! It’s not an animated flick, but it’s so good. It’s a movie from 1987, where they had to rely on acting …

Donnie Darko movie
The most refreshing american film from recent years was made by a young independent filmmaker named Richard Kelly. His style, both in the visual aspect and with the narrative, is like a mixture between David Lynch and something completely new. It’s a dreamlike film about the teenage boy Donnie …
Spiderman 3 Movie
After watching ” Spider-Man 2 ” I was eager to watch “Spider-Man 3.” I managed to watch the movie on my TV and I was left with two words in my mouth: great spectacle! The film surpassed my expectations. In the cast were again Toby Maguire (Spiderman / …
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
Unfaithful Movie
This movie I found scary in a way that it’s hard to get involved danger and when you’re playing with fire there’s always bad karma around the corner for you, not only is it inappropriate but when you’re unfaithful to someone, the guilt and the conscience just doesn’t feel …
Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …
Old School (2003)
I trust that a lot of people have seen this movie and what is worse than just seeing it, you have happened to come across it on the cable networks every now and again, it is my opinion, that whether you see this movie once or on multiple occasions, …
Why Did I get Married Movie
My wife has wanted to watch Why Did I get Married ever since it first came out. But, I have avoided doing that because I figured it would be just another man-bashing chick flick.
Well, she finally got an opportunity to watch it yesterday and, guess what, I was right. …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …

Avatar movie 2009
I saw the movie Avatar three times– twice in the theater in 3-D, and once at home in 2-D as a rental. I’d been looking forward to seeing it months before it ever came out. The big question always being: would it live up to all the hype? I …
The Counterfeiters (2007) Movie
I just came across this movie title in Rottentomatoes.com when I was surfing the web looking for good movies to watch. I saw this and it was a German Film. This film is based on the true story in 1936, when Germany’s best forger, Salomon Sorowitsch, was sent to …

Iron Man DVD
I bought this on DVD today, for around $15 at Target. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jeff Bridges.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Robert Downey Jr. could pull off the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man believably. Don’t get me wrong, he …

Movie The Illusionist
I must admit I am a huge fan of Edward Norton’s films. Every time there is a new movie of his; I simply jump at the opportunity to watch it. His films are simply extraordinary. In “The Illusionist” one can see Norton at his very best. This is definitely …
Before Sunset movie
Nine years after the success movie of “Before Sunrise”, the actors Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy meet up together to work on “Before Sunset” which only took 15 days shooting. No doubt there are very few sequels which one can say that they are great and “Before Sunset” is …
Ghost Hunters
I have been watching Ghost Hunters since it stated in 2004 and still enjoy it. Two ordinary men, their real jobs are as plumbers, hunt ghosts by night. It is on the SciFi Wednesdays at 9:00 PM There is nothing fictional about it, it is …

I love movies of any genre, and when I watched Stardust, I have the good impression of some fairytale like movie, and I feel like entering into the scene, and experience the magical characters.
This is a good story that children and adults will definitely enjoy. It tells about …
Death Race, science fiction action thriller film
Paul W.S. Anderson’s decision to make a movie based on the 1975 film Death Race 2000 was a strange one. Anderson’s track record isn’t the best one out their, but with the bad advertising this film got you can’t completely blame him. Now that Death Race is on DVD …

War of the Worlds 2 Movie
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I rented War of the Worlds 2, but I rented it anyway. The movie isn’t exactly a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie, but more a sequel to the book. They do try to replicate some of the alien creatures …
The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
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 …

Movie Joe Dirt (2001)
Ever since David Spade joined the crew of Saturday Night Live in 1990, he has been one of my favorite comedians of all time. I watched him go from Saturday Night Live to Just Shoot Me, all the while doing projects on the big screen as well. When the …
