Movie Ghost
I am a Demi Moore fan and this is one of her movies that I really love. I love how the story was made because it shows about true love and its really romantic one with a little twist of comedy. I enjoyed watching it since most of the …
Public Enemies (starring Johnny Depp)
In a stress world, do we still want to find money when we know that we are suffering in health like say, early signs of hypertension, nerve anxiety and stuff like that? It would be hazardous in the long run if we don’t rest well. Why are there …

Tristan is the Cornish Knight of a region of England whose village has come under attack by the Irish, he leaches a counter attack and manages to kill the leader of the attacking force, but he too is seriously wounded in the fracas, and he presumably dies when it …
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …
Leavings Las Vegas movie
Leaving Las Vegas is a movie where an alcoholic man, who is in the end stage of his alcoholism, packs up and goes to live in a nasty hotel room in Las Vegas. The man, Ben, is played by Nicholas Cage. Nicholas Cage is my favorite male actor and …
Arsenic and Old Lace movie
Cary Grant is just a hoot and a holler in this classic movie from the old days when movies rocked in black and white. About to be married, he goes to his aunts’ home and discovers some very disturbing news. It seems their elderberry wine contains a …
The We and the I (movie)
I’ve had a special love for independent films for the longest time, especially when they’re done quite well. This is why I just had to see the movie “The We and the I” when I saw it on the cable guide fairly recently. Even though a lot of people …
“Alice Adams” (1935) starring Katharine Hepburn
The 1935 “Alice Adams” was produced in black and white by RKO. The movie is based on the novel by Booth Tarkington. “Alice Adams” runs 99 minutes which is a little too long as parts are slow. The beginning twenty minutes and the ending twenty minutes make the movie …
2012 film
2012 was heavily advertised around where I lived, so I was pretty excited when it came out and I immediately rushed to watch it. After all, a doomsday film that sounded pretty promising (Mayans were the ones to predict this doomsday, which I had assumed would mean that the …
Shoot ‘Em Up
Shoot ‘Em Up is the latest action flick starring Clive Owen and the beautiful Monica Bellucci. This movie is pure cinematic entertainment; if you’re looking for a complex plot or a realistic action flick, this is not it. Instead, Shoot ‘Em Up delivers over-the-top gun battles and fights that …
Free Willy (1993)
Just as the title states, this young boy launches a campaign in order to free a whale being held in captivity. That is the whole story that the directors have managed to stretch of a two hour period. Throwing the troubles of the boy and his family drama into …
Aquamarine
I watched Aquamarine with my ex boyfriend years back and up till now, if there are any of my young cousins coming, this would be one of their most favorite DVD to watch.
The mermaid is so gorgeous in this movie and acted by Sara Paxton. I really …
Staying Alive movie
I only just saw Staying Alive for the first time recently. I haven’t even seen Saturday Night Fever all the way through. I’ve only seen pieces of it. The stories never intrigued me, but I did wonder a lot about Finola Hughes, who I’ve met at …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
Twilight
When I first heard about the movie, Twilight based on the Book by Stephanie Meyer, I really did not know much about it. After it came out on DVD I decided to watch it. At first I loved the movie but found it a bit cheesy. After reading the …
Envy (2004)
I thought this movie was going to be hilarious, perhaps in a silly way, but very funny nevertheless. After all, it’s got Ben Stiller and Jack Black, come on, they know how to provide some good laughs! Well, it turns out that even these two funnymen can’t do much …
The Notebook (2004)
The Notebook is a classic romantic movie about a story from a notebook that an old man reads to an older lady. He often reads the same notebook to her as she is suffering from Alzheimer’s and cannot remember. The story that he reads to her is about …
The House Bunny movie
We were watching some of our movie channels last night and came across The House Bunny.
This is the second time I’ve watched this movie in about a year now and I have to say it is still a cute and clever concept.
Well, to be honest, the only thing clever …
Taken movie
This is a movie starring Liam Neeson who plays Bryan, a divorced, retired government agent that used to work as a “Preventer”. That is, keeping bad things from happening. He retired to get closer to his 17 year old daughter Kim who lives with …
Stargate
Stargate was released in 1994 and it launched a franchise. Kurt Russell starred as Colonel Jonathan ‘Jack’ O’Neil. I have to make sure that’s spelled correctly. This is the single ‘L’ O’Neil, versus the TV series Jack O’Neill, which has two ‘L’s’ and was played by …
Inspector Gadget movie
Inspector gadget is complete gizmo movie with unrealistic and unimaginable twisys and turns. Though the movie is completely unrealistic it has some good performances by Matthew Broderick both as the gadget inspector and evil robot and by Rupert Everett. The movie starts with the female lead Brenda and …
The Longest Yard Movie
The Longest Yard was a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see for the longest time, no pun intended. I have to say that I’ve never really been a big fan of Adam Sandler. There are times when potty humor can be funny and times when stupid …
When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …
Alice In Wonderland (2010 Version)
Alice In Wonderland, Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Disney film actually goes in quite a different direction than what I expected. Obviously with Burton, there’s going to be quite a few twists to the movie and overall sort of a dark or gothic type mood to it and …
Let Me In (movie)
“Let Me In” is another one of the movies that I watched recently. I remember seeing it advertising several times before my cable television went, but for some reason, I wasn’t very interested in seeing it. However, it was only after I read about it on someone’s blog where …
DNAngel Episode 7 (Anime)
DNAngel Episode 7 has Dark trying to seal the evil Adonis from Greek myth after he is revived and preys on one of the schoolgirls at Daisuke’s school.
This episode was pretty good. The animation was nice to look at and the plot was also very good. It …
The Gravedancers, movie
Another installment in the “8 Films to Die For” lineup, “The Gravedancers” is a film about three high school friends reunited by a funeral and facing off in a traditional haunted house fright fest. This is the type of film that reminds me of how a simple story, when …
21 Grams movie
In order to fully understand 21 Grams, you will have to be committed to watching this movie at least twice. After the first viewing, you will want to watch 21 Grams again because the movie is thrilling and very exciting. There is a love story between Paul and Christine, …
The Day the Earth Stood Still movie

The Fountain movie
My husband and I get movies sent to us by Netflix. One day a movie called The Fountain showed up. We sat down and began to watch it. We stopped about half way through it and watched the rest the next day. It was so …
The Corpse Bride Movie
The Corpse Bride is one of my favorite animated films ever. This movie really makes you feel the power and emotion in it. And with Johnny Dep playing the main character you know you are in for one wild ride. It was very cool to see some of Johnny Dep’s …
Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X)
Rurouni Kenshin or Samurai X is a great anime which focuses on the life of a samurai who was the most dangerous manslayer about 30 years ago but turned good after realizing his mistakes. The story starts when Kenshin meets Kaoru, a kendo teacher who believed that the sword …
Signs Movie
I was flipping through my Netflix Instant Watch catalog the other night and came across the movie Signs and decided to watch it again.
I have seen a lot of movies about alien invasions. This is one of the few that manages to scare the crap out of me every …
Incendies (drama movie)
If you love watching foreign films and dramas, Incendies is just one of those films that you have to watch. Forget about every other one that you have on your list and make this one a special priority because the movie was literally a masterpiece, and one of the few …
Bad Boys 2, movie
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence did it so well the first time, that I couldn’t wait to see them reprise their roles as Drug Agents working for the Miami P.D. However, this film was lacking the story and power of the first, but it still had enough chemistry between …
2 Fast 2 Furious
This movie is the sequel from previous movie, the Fast and the Furious. It’s still always about racing car involved catching the bad guy.
In this movie, Brian (Paul Walker) is no longer become police because in the Fast and the Furious movie, he let Dom go, that’s why he …
The Book of Eli
My son and I went to see the movie The Book of Eli and I have to say that, had I had any idea in advance how bad this movie was, I would never have paid the ticket price to go see it.
The …
Flashback of a Fool
When I saw the movie “Flashbacks of a Fool” on the cable guide last night I was a bit baffled as to how I never heard of it; and it was a fairly recent movie; especially since I learned after, the popular British actor who now plays the role …
The Shining (movie)
I love stephen King books, and I really like when they turn them into movies. We watched the Shining on Saturaday the one with JAck Nicholson in it.
it was such a spooky movie, here is this family that you realize that they are having a hard time …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
Scary Movie 4
After seeing Scary Movie 4 this past weekend, I was glad to finally see a movie series that gets better with time. Since dumping the Wayan Brothers prior to the third movie, the plots in the Scary Movie series have gotten more mature and focus more on movie spoofs …
Far and Away movie
Though I tend to love a Ron Howard movie because it’s most always well crafted and told with respect as well as flair, I hadn’t yet watched Far and Away until a friend sent it to me a while ago. I actually watched it in pieces; couldn’t quite …
The Unfinished Dance movie
Little Margaret O’Brien stars in 1947’s The Unfinished Dance. She plays Meg Merlin, an aspiring ballet dancer. There are a bunch of other young kids in this movie who play other ballerina wannabes. The most notable is Elinor Donoahue, best known from Father Knows Best. …

Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a fun movie to watch, but it’s not nearly as good as the previous movie, Godzilla vs. Biollante. This movie isn’t as dark as the previous two and actually features some campy scenes that are a bit reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s movies. …
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)
I have to admit that I’ve had a secret love of Alvin and the Chipmunks since I was a kid. When the movie first came out last year, I was the only one of my friends and family members who could actually sing all the words to their songs …
ShowPlace 16 movie theater Naperville IL
ShowPlace 16 movie theater, located at 2815 Showplace Dr., Naperville, IL, is always a pleasure to go to. It is a large, fancy theater with comfortable soft chairs set like in an amphitheater, which gives a much better view. Even on a busy night with some big hit movie …
