Transporter 3 (2008)
The third time is definitely not the charm as in relates to the Transporter franchise, they should have stooped at the first one, but it seems that everyone sees the need to make a trilogy these days. This time around, Frank played by Jason Statham, is accidentally thrown into …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
Pretty Woman (movie)
Okay, I know that many of you out there just love Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman is a love story and it is sweet. I will agree with that. But it’s a lame plot because really, how many rich men have to buy a prostitute in order to have a …
Horror Express movie

My Sister’s Keeper (the book and movie)
My Sister’s Keeper is a novel by Jodi Piccoult and a movie recently released on DVD. I try to make a concentrated effort to read a book before watching it on film because it is never as good on film. I have to admit that while reading …

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (movie)
After I saw the trailer for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” going to see it in 3D was definitely a no-brainer. The trailer made it seem like it was going to be very exciting with a lot of action event though I was never really a fan of the …
My Man Godfrey,1936 movie
This is an excellent, although old, black & white comedy. The story takes place in the 1930s New York. Homeless bums are trying to survive searching in the dumps when a fancy car pulls up, and two beautifully dressed, wealthy ladies alight. They are sisters, Cornelia (Gail Patrick) and …
Butterfly Effect (2004)
First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …
The Contract (R, 2006) movie
Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …

Director Lucio Fulci continues his zombie fetish, less than usual here, with his 1981 film “The Beyond”. The story …
Game Plan movie
Even though I do think he’s a bit overrated, I’ve always liked watching former pro wrestler The Rock in movies.
While his newest movie, Game Plan is far from being unique, I will admit he pulled it off.
The Rock plays a professional football quarterback who finds out he has …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …
Separate Lies movie
Separate Lies was released in 2005 and I knew as soon as it started that I probably wouldn’t like it. For one thing, the list of actors, overall, aren’t my style. Tom Wilkinson, for example, supposedly as talent, but he bores me, not to mention he’s often …
21 (movie)
Don’t make the mistake to relegate the movie “21″ as just another movie focused on poker, because you will make one big error. The movie “21″ has the right recipe to attract audience from different generations to watch it because it includes drama, romance and hype.
The story of the …

This was an amazing show, I think the scriptwriter’s were fantastic for the entire seven seasons of the show. The West Wing was a show created by the amazing Aaron Sorkin, based on the President and his staff. The President and First Lady were played …

The Forgotten is a movie you will want to forget. Okay, in fairness to The Forgotten and the people who made the film as well as the actors playing in it, it’s not that bad. The Forgotten is a good rainy day movie where you can sit with your …

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 …
Twilight the Movie
Stephnie Meyer’s Twilight saga created much uproar with the brilliant storyline and an unconventional love story that it offered. Twilight Movie is based on the first novel of the saga. The movie is a perfect blend of suspense, romance, mystery and sci-fi acts. The star cast is absolutely apt …

Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …

Home On The Range was, in my opinion, not one of Disney’s best movies. I had absolutely no desire to see this movie when it came out. I saw the trailer and was completely and totally unimpressed by they movie. However even though I had decided …

The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones.

Movie Angels and Demons
