Fame (2009 movie)
I didn’t jump at watching the movie Fame like a few of the younger people I know did, because I could remember watching the television series from the eighties in the early nineties when I was a little girl; and based on what I saw when the movie …
Almost Famous - (starring Kate Hudson)
Almost Famous star Kate Hudson and in this movie story, you see her character being someone extremely ambitious and she wants so much to be famous. This is a time when Rolling Stone is in focus and remember Penny Lane?
Kate Hudson truly sizzles and it’s a story …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Life isn’t measured in minutes, but in moments…a tag line well portrayed in the character of Benjamin Button. The general plot concerns a man who ages backwards, thus it goes something like: “I was born under unusual circumstances.” The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is adapted …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
I haven’t seen the original so I can’t compare. I will say that this movie is not particularly good.
Look, it is bad, but it’s the fun kind of bad. Seeing this movie in 3D, with a packed theater, you’ll get your money’s worth. Eyes come out …
Catch Me if you Can movie
When I first saw the movie “Catch Me if you Can” advertising to be released in theatres I wanted to watch it because of two major reasons. One was because it was the first in a long time I was seeing the actor Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie and …

Johnny Dangerously movie
An honest and decent man is forced into criminality when his mother is having a severe disease, and he sees no other way out.
This is supposed to be some kind of comedy, but with the exceptions of a few scenes where Michael Keaton is absolutely brilliant, I didn’t think …
Change of Habit movie
Change of Habit is a movie I’ve always enjoyed watching. It’s one of my very favorite films to star Elvis Presley. In fact, it was actually his movie, something I find very sad. His co-star was Mary Tyler Moore, reportedly the only co-star who never slept …

Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, An Animated Movie
I have to admit that I am a Tim Burton fan. I loved nightmare before Christmas, but when this movie came out in 2005 I wasn’t really all that interested in buying it because the title was just a little too obvious. The title completely gave away the whole …
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014 Biblical Epic Film)
I read a novelization of the popular biblical tale of the Exodus last week. I was deeply astonished at how EPIC it was. Years prior, there was a Ridley Scott film that tackled the same subject for which I ignored because of the small ratings it got from critics.
However, …
Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
This is a tough one. Bright cast, and comedy done in the style of Mel Brooks’ comedy, prevalent during the 70s, this film showed great promise. But for me, while quaint, this film did not deliver on it’s character expectations.
The story centers around Segerson Holmes, jealous older brother of …

Man on Fire movie
Man on Fire is another good serious movie which show drama, action, and crime in a same time. The main actor Denzel Washington (act as Creasy) is very great acting in this movie. My tears like wanna fall in the end of movie.

Revolver
“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …

P.S. I love You
When I picked up the movie P.S. I Love You, I expected it to be a tear jerker. What I found was, not only did it not move us to tears, we had a hard time keeping our eyes open.

The Princess and The Frog (2009), a Disney’s Movie

Open Range (2003)
Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …

Star Trek (2009)
With a venerable liking for most things I’ve seen almost all of the movies and some shows, I must say that JJ did a nice work with this film. The director JJ Abrams has done a brilliant job in resurrecting an ailing franchise to the glee of millions of …
Band of Outsiders: A Film by Jean-luc Godard (1964)
Musing on another Godard film I watched last night, I still have these fresh thoughts stuck in my head. Watching Godard is never a bore. I recently read an article in the nytimes talking about Paris as a most favored site for shooting movies. This film was …
Stuart Little 2: The Movie
I was never a big fan of the first Stuart Little. The whole idea that two adults would adopt a little talking mouse was always a little creepy to me, because even though I think that mice are kind of cute, I probably would have run away as soon …
Simpson Movie (2007)
LMAO FUNNY!!! The best movie of the year for kids and teens. I could watch this over and over and never get tired of it. This movie has a mix of feelings, you could go from feeling sorry for some and almost crying to laughing your pants off.Parts of …
The Mayor of Casterbridge (1978)
There are two versions of “The Mayor of Casterbridge” movie; the one I am reviewing here is the 1978 mini-series starring Alan Bates. The story is based on a novel by Thomas Hardy. It starts with a young married couple, Michael and Susan Henchard, traveling afoot to some new …
Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.
The movie was first released …
Fun With Dick And Jane (movie)
Fun With Dick And Jane is a hilarious movie about a married couple, Dick (played by the wonderful Jim Carrey) and Jane (played by Tea Leoni). Dick and Jane live in your typical upper middle class neighborhood in the suburbs of a large city. Their neighbors all have the …
Kaw
I used to love original movies on the television station “SyFy” but I have to say most of them are starting to look like rip-offs from better known movies.
Take the one I watched yesterday for example; “Kaw.” This movie has a small town being infested with Ravens that are …
Movie: “It’s a Boy Girl Thing” (2006)
“It’s a Boy Girl Thing” is an adorable and hilarious movie that offers insight into another person’s life.

The House of Wax (Movie)
I was excited to see this movie because it showed famous stars featuring Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, Brian Van Holt, but unfortunately Paris Hilton is in here too, which she later on regrets that she did this movie as she was terrible!
The movie is all about six friends …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
Glorifying the American Girl movie
Glorifying the American Girl from 1929 purports to be under the direct supervision of the legendary Florenz Ziegfeld. There were lots of showgirls in this motion picture to satisfy that Rockette feeling, too. Even today, the line of girls doing those high leg kicks are incredibly popular.
I …
Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …

Nightmare Detective (Movie Review)
Nightmare Detective is part of the Dimension Extreme films and I’ve been slowly working my way through these movies a little at a time. The series is a little similar to the After Dark Horror Fest in that all the movies probably wouldn’t get much of a release without …
I am Omega
I had never heard of the movie I am Omega until it aired on TV yesterday morning. Since I didn’t have much else to do (my wife is extremely pregnant, limiting our movement on weekends), I ended up sitting down to watch it.

The Others Nicol Kidman Movie
The Others, enjoys the wonderful play of Nicole Kidman. The nice fact about this movie is, you should watch the film until the last second to know what has really happened. Nicol Kidman’s acting is really, admirable, as ever. Beside her natural beauty, her mastery in acting attracts you …

I actually did not hear of the movie “The Return” until recently and when I heard that it was actually a thriller that had originated out of Russia, my curiosity was piqued even further. When I watched it I also could not help but think that it was actually …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …
Never Been Kissed
Never Been Kissed is a pretty good movie. I really liked it. It shows how love can still really be found in this world. I think that Drew barrymore did a very good job of acting. Her acting was just so magical. I really liked the plot and the story …

was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …
