Splice (Movie) 2009
I was really intrigued with this movie “Splice” that I finally decided to see it for myself. I have been putting off seeing it for the longest time because my husband did not want to watch it. I finally had the time of day to see it finally.
Splice is …
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Repo! The Genetic Opera is destined to be a cult classic, but does it deserve to be?
I recently purchased Repo! on Dvd, because it looked interesting. I did not, however, know that is was, quite literally, an opera. The whole movie, and every single line of dialouge, is told …
Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie
I’m always trying to find classic cartoons for my daughter to watch after school on our Netflix player. This recently led me to load a Bugs Bunny movie called Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie.
When I saw this movie, I figured it would be like the majority of Looney …

Fried Green Tomatoes (starring Kathy Bates)
Fried Green Tomatoes is a powerful, sweeping movie starring Kathy Bates, Mary Louise Parker, Mary Stuart and Jessica Tandy. I call this movie my “Girl Power” movie. Watch it with your sisters and mom. A very good content story and if this is made into a book, …
Secret Window movie
Secret Window is a movie where Johnny Depp stars as a writer who goes to live in the country by himself because he has gone through a recent divorce. Mort, the character that Johnny Depp plays, is a weird person. I’m not talking about weird like an artist, I …
Hoodwinked Anne Hathaway & Glenn Close
Who ever thought the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” could ever be so complexed. This movie was so intensely funny. Just when you thought you had it figured it out, it took another turn. I enjoyed it so much and laughed constantly. I like a complex story. I …

AMC theatre,Concord Mills
It was a month ago when we went to see “Slumdog Millionaire” at this theatre.We booked our tickets on phone only.But when we reached there and went to counter for taking our tickets the person in the counter asked for my credit/debit card.I thought may be for …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …
An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
The 2008 Comedy/Horror Teeth
A friend told me about this movie one Saturday and all but forced me to watch it. To tell the truth, at first I thought the movie was going to be silly, and just another b-movie since the plot alone sounded ridiculous to me. Either way, I tried it …
Diamonds are Forever, movie
Picking up where “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” leaves off, “Diamonds are Forever” is one of the weaker Bond movies in the series and a personal low for Sean Connery. It’s a shame that the original James Bond returned for this one as he should have left the franchise …
Disney’s Johnny Appleseed
The first time I saw this Disney short movie, was in elementary school, in the cafeteria, where many a film was shown. This was the most memorable of those films.
Not a very long film, it was one of Disney’s best short features originating in the 40s and 50s. There …
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie
Note: This review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets contains spoilers.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is not my favorite of the Harry Potter movies. Unlike the other 4 films out on DVD, this one feels like it’s too long. I first watched this movie on …
Meet Bill (R, 2007)
“Meet Bill” is the kind of movie you watch when you have absolutely nothing to do, and you want to see a “bright” slightly sarcastic film. Bill is played by Aaron Eckhart. He wants to earn his father in-law’s respect, but can’t seem to do so. …
The Road to Hollywood movie
The Road to Hollywood from 1947 was a biography of sorts about the success of crooner, Bing Crosby. This was the such type of production from filmmaker Bud Pollard who had done a piece like this on Danny Kaye the year before.
Pollard serves as the host of The …
Don’t Look Now movie
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. It is the story of an english couple played by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland who’s daughter dies for mysterious …
Pirates of the Caribbean - The curse of the Black Pearl
This is a great no brainer movie. Full of great action scenes and funny ironic comic relief that anyone who watches will relate to. With the help of special effects and great cinematography you are taken into an adventure that in convincing and applicable to the time for which …
Movie Plague Town (NR, 2008)
I really tried to like this movie. Usually when a film is made in a foreign country like Ireland, the acting is typically good. But this time, an American family decided to go trekking through Ireland in search of their ancestral roots. First of all, …
The Room, movie (2003)
Those who know me know I can enjoy a bad movie. Between a childhood of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and exposing myself to as much cinema I could get my hands on as an adult, I’ve seen quite a few stinkers in my experience. But just when …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera was the best musical that I have ever watched. The music was beautiful, tantalizing, mesmerizing, and magical. The costumes were perfectly fit in for the theatre at that time, and the sets were expertly built and designed.
I loved this movie. I have watched it …
Kick Ass movie
When I heard my friends with different likes and dislikes all praising this movie, I became eager to watch it for myself in the theatres. My eagerness increased even more when I saw it being praised in the media, and movie critics did not have much bad things …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …
Four Christmases movie
Four Christmases is a mediocre holiday tale about a couple with a tradition of scheduling trips to avoid spending Christmas with their families. But when extreme fog cancels their flight, Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are forced to attend four Christmas celebrations.
An interesting aspect of this movie …
Turkish Star Wars
This movie is seriously an abomination on film. A lot of bad movies fall into two categories.
The first category is “so bad it’s awesome” these are movies that you know stink to high heaven, but you can laugh at the badness. A lot of the movies …
I Love You, Man movie
I didn’t have high hopes for this movie. It looked cheesy, stooping for cheap laughs with fart and masturbation jokes. However, I was surprised to find it rather amusing; definitely not in my top fifty, but certainly decent and watchable.
The fart joke surprised me. I hate humor based on …

John Tucker Must Die
“John Tucker Must Die” is a cute romantic comedy targeting teenagers. The interesting aspect of this movie is that it includes a lot of Hollywood rising stars such as Brittany Snow, Jesse Metcalfe, Penn Badgley, Sophia Bush, Ashanti and Arielle Kebbel. These actors are mostly know for their involvement …
Frankenstein, 1931 movie
Loosely based on the novel by Mary Shelley, this classic horror movie is perhaps one of the better known adaptations. Boris Karloff’s make up and performance of the monster make it quite unforgettable, despite the movie’s liberal handling of the book. Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is obsessed with finding …
I,Robot-Will Smith
We all know Will Smith from the comedic roles that he usually plays. I had never really seen him in too many serious roles. I am already a huge fan of sci-fi fantasies and this one was right up my alley. I loved the special effects and the plot …
Brother’s Justice Movie (2010)
Here is a movie that you would think would never be done in Hollywood, but it did get made. Not only did Brother’s Justice did actually get made, it also managed to score itself a full cast of A list actors such as: Bradley Cooper, Tom Arnold, Seth Green, …
Carolina Moon (2007 Film)
The 2007 film “Carolina Moon” is based on a novel by Nora Roberts. While I have not read the novel, I found the movie to be heart warming and very interesting, with a bit of the supernatural thrown in there as well. It was also a wonderful mystery type …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It’s really a shame that I never had a film of Harry Potter with the status of a perfect movie. Each story is so strong, before or after you have never truly inclusive workplace. Of course, the three-ACT-structure can be used, but no information or knowledge to come, but …

Brave Heart movie
This is the fourth year when I first saw the movie ‘Brave Heart’. Since then I have seen this for innumerable times. My favorite Mel Gibson is in lead role and as usual he shows his strong caliber in this movie.
Winning some Oscars will not suffice to say all …
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the second installment of the epic trilogy that is the Lord of the Rings. Now, walking out of The Fellowhship of the Ring, I was awe struck and amazed. If you had this same feeling, you ain’t seen …

Dirty Dancing was an awesome, feel good movie that remains a phenomena to this day. This special 20th Anniversary edition has a lot of exciting extras. Some can be found on other DVD releases of the standout movie, but others are unique to this collection.
The DVD set …
Movie Push
I recently watched the movie Push, since I am a fan of Chris Evans, so I decided to give the movie a shot since the trailer was a bit impressive. Although a lot of critics said it wasn’t a good movie, I had to see it for myself to …
Shadows by MIlco Mancevski
When first time i heard the title “Shadows” i said “I must watch this!”. Maybe i am coming from small country, maybe Macedonia is not Hollywood but that does not mean we can not make good films.
Long time people were talking about those “Shadows”.And finally the film came in …

It also has Zooey Deschanel in it, …
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …

Edward ScissorHands
Edward ScissorHands is one of my all time favorite movies. The music and scenery is must majestic. I think this is one of Johnny Depp’s best roles. He plays the part of Edward. Edward was created by his father who was an old inventor. But he never got to …
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. …
