Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …
Movie Happy Feet
This is one of the best cartoons I’ve seen so far. The trailer didn’t look so promising so I never watched this in the theaters. I seldom want to pay for cartoons anyway. Luckily, one of my relatives bought me a DVD version which they said was on sale. …

Defiance
I don’t usually like war movies, but sometimes I watch them mostly because my mother likes them. That was how I watched the movie Defiance. At first, I thought it was going to be very boring too like many of the other war films I’ve seen with the graphic …
The Mist (movie)
We went to the movies last night and watched the film entitled the Mist, based on a novel by Stephen King. I love a good mystery and I really enjoy Stephen Kings books, and usually enjoy the film adaptations.
This movie was really a good story, enough computer …
Movie Cold Mountain
This is a amazing movie. Every one did an amazing job acting. I don’t think that they could have done a better job acting or directing this movie. I loved it and if you haven’t seen it yet you should. Renee Zellweger plays in it and I liked her …
50 First Dates
If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …
Belle (historical drama movie)
I love watching historical movies, and that is why I was so eager to see “Belle” after I had seen the trailer only months before it was released. What piqued my interest about it even more was that it was supposed to be based on the story revolving around a …
Dead End movie
This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …
Clueless with Alicia Silverstone
This film is definitely a chick flick. And not only that, it’s definitely for high school girls. While it was made quite a few years ago, it’s still funny to think about the two girls and their interesting perspectives on life and what is important in life. Especially for …
Prisoners (2013 movie)
Prisoners was one of those films that I kept putting off watching even when I had the time. There was something about the trailer that didn’t make it appear interesting to me even though most if not all of the people in the main roles were very good an popular …
Night at the Museum (2006)
Night at the Museum, directed by Shawn Levy is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for mild action, language and brief rude humor.

However, there is something mysterious going on and the …
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth is probably one of the biggest documentaries around these days. Certainly it fulfilled its mission of making people start talking an awful lot about global warming. Of course, the question is, just how true is it all.
Mr. Gore has a lot of problems in …
Mercy Streets
Two orphaned twin brothers, John and Jeremiah, are separated at the age of 14. They grow up radically different: Jeremiah goes to a seminary and becomes a priest, and John chooses the life of crime, specializing in all kinds of con jobs. Another difference is that Jeremiah thinks John …
Captain America: The First Avenger Movie
Of all the movies about superheroes I think that Captain America is the most difficult in terms of obstacles to overcome. The mythical origin of Thor, the wealthy luxury and fussiness of Tony Stark, the early wrestling appearances by Peter Parker, who is trying to impress the audience that …
The Love Guru Movie
Movies starring Mike Myers; you either love it or hate it. I have mixed feelings for the movie, The Love Guru. Set in America genre, Pitka, acted by Mike of course who is from India and raised by some gurus make his way to United States for …
The movie P.S. I Love You
“Every day will be hard, but you can do it. PS, I love you.”

Howl’s Moving Castle (anime film)
When I first heard that ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ was to be released on film, I was thrilled. I was a little chagrined, though, to learn that it would be a Japanese anime production.
I was so happy, in the first instance, because I love the book on which the film …

I am reviewing The Empty House, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The REturn of Sherlock HOlmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode starts with Watson grieving over the loss of his dear friend now some three years ago. Sherlock Holmes returns in …
Underworld: Evolution
Underworld Evolution revisits the lady vampire that Kate Beckinsale plays in the film. Also, her half wereworlf, half vampire boyfriend who is like the superman of the dark underworld. This is one of the few sequels I’ve seen which I liked better than the original. I thought it was …
Sinister (movie)
I didn’t know anything about the movie “Sinister” until I went to see “End of Watch” in the movie theatres and saw it advertising. Based on what I had seen in the trailer, I knew immediately that I had wanted to see it in the theatres with a friend …
Written in Blood movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Written in Blood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This movie was made in 1997, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novel series written by Caroline Graham.
Gerald Hadleigh is a secretary of a highly …
Duplicity movie
I don’t know why the title is Duplicity, but this movie sizzles. I watched it with my boyfriend and we were both entertained by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Both of them have this particular chemistry in the movie and together, they are plotting to make something profitable …
Final Destination 3 (2006)
The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …
Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie
Last weekend, I went to the movie house together with my sister. We watched “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. I didn’t really expect much from this movie. I just wanted some entertainment on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Anyway, I thought this film was another of those sci-fi …

Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …
Django Unchained Movie
Django Unchained is a movie that was released in 2012 and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The movie is about an ex slave named Django who goes on the hunt to find his wife, Broomhilda.

Phantom of the Opera movie
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera came to the big screen in 2004, and it was an incredible success. I had the priviledge of seeing it in the theatres while in Mexico, and even there, in a foreign tongue, it received rave reviews. I would completely agree with …
Flicka
I am reviewing the movie, Flicka, which was released last year. It is the story about a girl and her horse, but also about the relationship between father and daughter. Alison Lohman plays Katy McLaughlin, whose desire has always been to work on her family’s ranch. …
Blonde Joke Videos
It’s probably not politically correct to make fun of blondes any longer, but I ran across several lately that made me laugh at least. They can be found on Youtube.com and probably in similar places like Google Video.
The first of these a very cute blonde video, or maybe it’s …
Return to Me movie
Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince
Just as a bit of a foreword, I have read the novel which accompanies this film, but I read it around the time when it first came out and haven’t gone back to it, or any of the previous books, since.
Overview - Today I went to the theater and …
Leap Year movie
I’m pretty sure Leap Year is in my top five favorites for movies. Leap Year is an awesome movie that I’ve watched over and over and over. It’s just one of those movies that you don’t get tired of. Of course, it’s a total love story, so maybe that’s …
The Ugly Truth movie
I’ve recently watched The Ugly Truth on DVD yesterday with my boyfriend. When it was out in the cinema, I was really excited to watch it but I never got to because I was so busy with stuff in school and the fact that I’m saving up my allowance. …
King’s Speech Movie
King’s Speech is exactly the kind of movie I enjoy most. Very touching, perfectly acted, and a beautiful rendering of a historical event or personality. This is a film that has garnered much recognition this Awards Season and that is rightly so, because it is certainly my favorite of …
Kick-Ass Movie
The story of this movie revolves around Dave Lewzewski, an ordinary high school guy who wants to be one of the superheroes that he admires. He buys a green suit and walks around town on it and calls himself Kick-Ass. One night while he was on his costume, he …
An American Werewolf in London movie
American Werewolf in London is one of my all time favorite films for many reasons. First of all, it is a glossy horror flick that is actually set in recognizable areas of London, although the scenes supposedly on the Yorkshire moors in the beginning were actually filmed in …
American Pie: Book of Love Movie
I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …

Erin is a single mother who had just lost her court case against a wealthy doctor in a lawsuit relating a personal injury, now unemployed she has to now look work to pay the bills and maintain her family. She puts it to her lawyer to assist her in …
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …
Sin City (2005)
Directors: Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino. Featuring: Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson,
Benicio Del Toro, Josh Hartnett, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood.

Odd Couple movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the first one. The second one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple 2. In The Odd Couple, we are first introduced to …
