DVD: Girl with a Pearl Earring

Scarlett Johansson …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …

Star Trek Generations: Love and Hated it
Ok. I just saw Star Trek Generations on Cable last night and I was telling my husband how much I love and hate the movie. I’m a big Star Trek fan, hands down. I’ve seen all of the orginal Star Trek movies and Next Generations movies hundreds of time, …
Basquiat (1996 film)
I will open by saying that “Basquiat” is a terrific film, in every way you could name. The performances, by an all-star ensemble cast, are nearly flawless, the direction and visual composition of the film mirrors the personal, intense nature of its subject’s art, and the soundtrack covers a …
Happy Feet ( childrens movie )
My daughter rented this childrens movie last night. My grandkids have been dying to see Happy Feet, and they were not dissapointed.
This is a very cute and funny animated movie about Emperor Penguins, who are born to sing . The actors in Happy feet are : Robin Willams, Hugh …

Suffering Man’s Charity/ Ghost Writer (2007)
I thought this was going to be a really good movie, I heard really good things about it, plus, the cast list was very impressive. At the beginning of the movie, when things seemed a little bit too eccentric for and to weird, I just said to myself …
Wagon Wheels West
From 1943, Wagon Wheels West is a black and white short. Shorts are anywhere from ten minutes to a half hour. This one is about 18 minutes roughly. Back in the day, going to the movies meant seeing several of these along with the main feature. …

The Secret War of Harry Frigg film
This is another Paul Newman film, and it’s probably my favorite of his. It’s called The Secret War of Harry Frigg, and it’s a World War II war comedy. Newman is Harry Frigg, a man who is always in trouble with the Army and though he gets …
Missing movie
From 1982, Missing tells a true story that isn’t always easy to watch. It’s an intense drama that can challenge one’s emotions. It’s a well written production, however, and does tell a story. I hate to term it entertaining, considering the subject matter, but the truth …
Miral (2010 film) by Julian Schnabel
When I read the short outline of this movie, I thought I was reading a news article. I just saw Miral earlier, and it was probably the only culturally significant movie I’ve seen of this year. To summarize, Miral is one way to understand the political conflict …
Days of our lives
I have been an avid watcher of Days of our lives soap opera for many years. So it is only natural that I choose to do a review on one of my favorite daytime dramas. There are many of the original characters that have been played by the same …
High School Musical
This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).
The movie itself is sort of silly in the way a lot of kids movies …
NOMADLAND, the movie (2020)
The film by Chloe Zhao, who acted as writer, director, producer, and editor, really surprised me. It is an adaptation of Jessica Bruder’s novel of the same name, but it is shot in a documentary style. NOMADLAND was a breath of fresh air for me in the world of glamour, …
Springtime in the Rockies movie
Springtime in the Rockies from 1937 is a movie I have heard about for a very long time, but believe it or not, even with its marvelous song, I have never seen it, until now.
The song that is sung at the beginning is awesome. I love the harmony …
Twilight
Well the movie Twilight was…”ok”. The acting was decent and the story was intersting, however, not everyone will like it. I enjoyed watching it, but thought some parts were rather silly. It is very much a romance movie and a chick flick. Though it does have a few action …
Night Watch
Night Watch is a movie I saw going on recently when I was at someone’s house watching television. At first I had mistaken it for a movie from the 80s I had seen going on several times, but after a while I realised that it was actually a movie …
Madhouse
Starring: Joshua Leonard (Clark Stevens), Jordan Ladd (Sara), Lance Henriksen (Dr Franks), Dendrie Taylor (Nurse Hendricks)
It is rather scary when you think that the shadows you see from the corner of your eyes are not real, but a figment of your imagination. Ben London (one of the …
Enchanted April Movie
The 1992 movie “Enchanted April” is a charming, almost magical movie about four women who vacation together in a villa in Italy. Lottie Wilkins (played by Josie Lawrence) and Rose Arbuthnot (played by Miranda Richardson) are two English women living in England shortly after World War I. The two …

For those of you who are old enough you will remember the epic 11 hour series Brideshead Revisited which was without a doubt one of the best TV series ever to come out of England. If you go to the movie Brideshead Revisited expecting the same great script and …
Invictus: Movie
I thought that Invictus was a good, well-made film but had it not been based on true events, I’m not sure I would have been interested.

Blood diamond
I have watched countless movies in the last year and personally rate Blood Diamond on a par with The Departed as 2006’s best movie. Another strong, mature performance from DiCaprio ensures this movie never flags.
In recent times there has been a glut of African “conscience” movies but this has …
Big Trouble In Little China
The eighties are definitely gone and not coming back, but some movie magic we got from that decade will live on forever. Among many classic movies that the eighties gave us was Big Trouble In Little China, an instant classic. Coming out in eighty-six, Big Trouble in Little China …
Kama Sutra movie

Since she went to bed early last night, I decided to check out one I could load on my netflix …
Project X (movie)
“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …

Punch Drunk love movie
Punch Drunk love is a diffrent movie and is one of the good movies in which Adam Sandler acted. Barry owns a company that sells some novelty items. This movie has a complete different theme and is very different from Adam Sandler’s other movies. As I like his performance …
Masters of Horror: the Deer Woman movie
this movie, directed by the team of Joe Landis and his son, was more of a comedy than horror movie despite being labeled as one of the masters of horror movies. The plot was very silly. It revolved around a strange death. A man in his …

Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …
Saving Sarah Caine movie
I saw previews of “Saving Sarah Cain” before watching another movie, and it looked like something I would not only want to watch but probably also add to my movie collection. I bought a DVD from Amazon shortly after that, and my husband and I watched the movie together.
“Saving …
I Am Legend DVD
I am Legend is very much a one man show with lead actor Will Smith on great form in undeniably his best screen performance to date. Overhyped? almost definately, but despite this the end result is ultimately rewarding.
So what’s it all about ? Emma …

Escape to Witch Mountain movie
Disney’s 1975 film, Escape to Witch Mountain, is a delight even now, decades later, as I write this review. The cast is terrific, and the story definitely entertains. It’s done with traditional family style and adventure, and even more so, there was a lot of heart, and …
Lipstick & Dynamite film
Women’s wrestling is once again becoming a popular form of entertainment but very few of today’s fans understand the history behind it. The documentary Lipstick & Dynamite tries to fill people in on that.

Last year at Marienbad movie
