The Ultimate Gift
The Ultimate Gift (a recent 2007 release) proves once again that you can make a good - no, excellent - movie without blood, gore, sex scenes, and bad language. Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller) is a trust fund kid who hasn’t worked a day in his life. Raised in wealth, …
Gladiator movie
The historical epic genre has been lost for the world of cinema ever since Ben Hur and its 11 Academy Awards until Mel Gibson’s Braveheart. What Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe did in the end of the second millennium led to 12 Academy Award nominations, too …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is full of action, adventure, and plenty of comedy.
After seeing the first of the two movies I was extemely impressed, and expected even better from the second. It was even better than expected.
The movie is about a young boy who has the knowledge needed for an evil …
Sleepover
At first, I was wondering what this Sleepover DVD movie is all about. But after watching it, I started to join in the ‘fun’ that the characters in the story and this is a very laugh out loud type of movie that will be entertaining for you and your …
Sgt. Bilko
When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
When I was younger, I remember watching re-runs of the Phil Silvers Show and his character Sgt. Bilko. In the movie …
Nothing movie
From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …
Somewhere in Time
I’m usually a big Christopher Reeve fan but seeing his 1980 film “Somewhere in Time” yesterday was a serious disappointment for me.
He did a decent job in the movie, don’t get me wrong. So did Jane Seymour and a cast that included Christopher Plummer and a very young William …
Thor: The Dark World Movie
After I watched the first movie about Thor - the superhero who comes from another world, wields a hammer as his weapon and is basically almost immortal it was somewhat interesting to me as a concept. When I watched that movie I was sure …
Enemy Mine (1985)
I love this movie not only because the actors are great but also the theme is fascinating. Aliens.
This movie though features only one type of fictional aliens, the reptilian like creatures that somehow resembles humans but only wearing a thick scaly skin and a tail of a dinosaur …
Multiplicity (1996)
All I am thinking is that…if the role of Doug Kinney had been offered to someone else, this movie might not be as good as it was. I really love Michael Keaton. He is so versatile. By the way, Doug Kinney in the story whom Michael …
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane movie
The finnish director Renny Harlin is known to many as an action Hollywood director with an uneven career. This is one of his first films in Hollywood about the slight crazy private detective Ford Fairlane who is hired to find a so called groupie, and by that is drawn …
Apocalypto
Apocalypto is one of the best jungle chase movies I have ever seen. It has humor, suspense, and non-stop action. It is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it at least ten times. The movie starts with a group of natives hunting a taper. A taper is …
Driversapproval.com
I had a troubled credit record and was refused by all car dealers to accept my loan requirement. I was disappointed but when I read about Drivers Approval and I applied to it they approved and sanctioned my car loan. Getting a loan with bad credit history is something …

Legally Blonde 1
Legally Blonde is all about a clumsy-in-love woman named Elle Woods who did everything against all odds to prove that she’s got both beauty and brains. I kinda love this movie although it gets a little corny sometimes with some scenes about her crying over her boyfriend who already …
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012 film)
We all have an iron memory of Disney’s Snow White, the animated film that conceived the enduring image of a wide-eyed princess garbed in puffed sleeves and beribboned hair. I know Snow White head to heels because I used to sketch her often in my notebooks as a …
Summer Scars movie
When I first saw the cover of the dvd, to tell you the truth I didn’t expect anything higher than a movie which could only be described as b-rated. However, when I watched the movie I was more than surprised because I found it was actually quite interesting and …
Click
For what is supposed to be a comedy I suggest you bring a box of tissues.
A desire Im sure everyone shares is to be able to stop time, or skip through unpleasant events, and even to turn the volume down on life. It is those exact deisres that Click …
Frida movie
Frida is a movie about Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter who marries Diego Rivera. I had heard of Frida Kahlo, but I did not know she was married to Diego Rivera. In Texas, Diego Rivera is a big name, and he is revered for his works. Frida seems like …

The Iron Giant movie
The Iron Giant tells the tale of a boy who befriends a giant robot. The robot is actually a war machine but it does not remember its programming (it got a dent on the head..lol). This movie shows how vindictive some people can be when they can’t have things …
Psycho 1998 version
I finally saw the Psycho 1998 version and I must say it was a good movie. Now I have never seen the original Alfred Hitchcock version, but this one was pretty good. A younger Vince Vaughn played the role of the Psycho killer. He did a great job in the …
Happy Feet
I have watched the movie ‘Happy Feet’. This is a very nice movie. This movie is about penguins. The story line is good. There is a penguin couple in Antarctica. This couple gives birth to a male penguin.
This male penguin is very much different from the other penguins …
7 Pounds starring Will Smith
In today’s society of “I”, “me” and “myself”, 7 Pounds is a story of selflessness. The film stars Hollywood star Will Smith as he went on to give “himself” to 7 deserving individuals as penance for the seven lives he destroyed in a freak accident.
Aside from the Pursuit …
Cake
I truly love this DVD movie, Cake. If I’m not mistaken, this movie was released during 2004 or 2005 and it starred the very gorgeous Heather Graham.
She played the character of Pippa McGee and she is a very charming and extremely funny lady and I always love …
PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …
George Lopez: America’s Mexican
I love the George Lopez shows, that air on nick. But the stand up I found kind of racy and not to funny. Some parts was more funny I enjoyed the childhood parts but overall I am glad he is proud of his race, but it got to the …
Movie: A Christmas Story
My wife and I ended up wrapping Christmas gifts at the very last second late last night while the kids were asleep. Since we were getting tired and needed something to keep us awake until the work was done, we decided to put on the Christmas classic A Christmas …
Autumn movie 2009
rented Autumn on a whim, thinking because there was a small role for David Carradine it might have some value. If this was his last movie, I truly feel sorry for him and his legacy. It started out with the extremely overdone and predictable premise of …
I Know Who Killed Me (2007)
Lindsay Lohan plays a duo character similar to that of the remake of the Parent Trap but, with a more sinister twist. As the character Aubrey Flemming, she is the typical girl next door, straight A student at school, with popular friends. As Dakota Moss, she is a troubled …
Film Up
Could a thousand balloons filled with helium gas really uproot a house from the ground and send it hovering in the sky for many days? Is it really possible for an old man and a boy to travel inside a flying house in open air without feeling out of …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …

Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …
“Couples Retreat” the Movie
Sadly enough, when I sat down to watch the movie “Couples Retreat”, I really did not have any high expectations. Surely enough, I was right
..
“Couples Retreat” is a comedy movie about 4 couples going off to a dreamy tropical island to find ways to “strengthen” the love bonds with …

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …

Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …

Hot Tub Time Machine
When I saw the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” advertising I ignored it, simply because I thought that it was going to be one of those college humour shows that is full of lots of sex and sex jokes that I would generally not be interested in. However, …
Resurrecting The Champ (PG-13, 2007) movie
I had heard of this film. But when I saw that Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson starred in it, I figured it was one of those movies in which the black man portrays a lost, but heroic figure. And the white man comes to save the day …
