Ok, I’ll admit it, when My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out, I thought it was going to be stupid. That’s why I didn’t see it at the theater or even rent it on DVD.
However, when I finally saw it on cable the other day, I have to admit I was …

Runaway Bride, another movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts (because who can forget Pretty Woman), features a cast full of recognizable tv actors and actresses. In fact, one of the actors with a small role as a friend of Ike’s is also in Pretty Woman. (I like him, …

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, …

Transformers. Once again the world of comic books strikes it big in the box office. Transformers has been popular since it’s debut early in July. For the most part I enjoyed the film. The special effects are to be commended. Shia LeBouf does a great job as the boy-next-door …

One of the things I …

“When in Rome” the 2010 film starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, seemed like it would be a really fun romantic comedy to watch. But let me just say now that I was not very impressed with this film. It was funny, but I think that was more because …

I watched this today with my younger sister. I was surprised at how interested I was in the movie. Most of the time when I watch movies with her I just do it to relax and I sometimes pay real attention to the movies but other times I just …

The new Batman movie has been getting a lot of hype. With all the build-up, I was worried I’d be let down. I kept hearing such great things, I was worried my expectations were getting unrealistically high. Now, I can safely say, it was every bit as good I …

Wow, the tension in this movie is unbelieveable. One of the 8 Films To Die For, horrfest 2006, films that didn’t make it into the movie theaters. Stars Mimi Rogers. About a girl who has a fear of being in cars, due to a fatal car accident involving …

We recently switched to Direct TV in our house and, because of that, we have a few movie channels that we didn’t have before (only for a couple months though).
One movie I came across this weekend was the Rob Zombie re-make of the film Halloween. And, since I haven’t …

I finally gave in and let my daughter rent the movie Scooby Doo Abracadabra Doo. I like the cartoon series, but I figured this movie would be a lot like some of the newer ones and get away from the whole monster is really someone in disguise plot.
However, this …

My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …

Cars is an animation movie which was released in 2006. It was created by Pixar Studios which has already produced some great movies in the past.
Pixar has done a great job by the extremely cool animations and character rendering in this move. The story is that of a rookie …

OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …

The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

This is a wonderful animated file to me. Created by Hayao Miyazaki, a famous japanese animation artist. It is a story of a young girl who was thrown into a world where both good and evil exist. Thoughtout the film, she gets trained to be brave, learns about …

I have heard this film is one of Audrey Hepburn’s acclaimed performances. I personally believe it’s also the most critically-absorbing film in the entire Audrey Hepburn —˜genre’. The austere screenplay was very consistent to the point that it almost felt like watching an art film. The …

I’ve always liked The Incredible Mr. Limpet from the time I first saw it as a child. It’s just a delightful motion picture that is clever and wonderful to watch. Below are a few thoughts on this DVD, now that I happily have it as part of …

A screenwriter’s dream, this movie is often used as a model for budding screenwriters, to show them how a story should be structured. It is tightly structured in its three acts, and well played out.

Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …

Possibly one of the worst remakes of all time, this movie sank like a stone to the bottom of the river. Unlike the John Carpenter Masterpiece of 1978, this remake just fails. Where the original movie was a masterpiece, this updated cellophane garbage is a huge cinematic failure. …

Debbie Reynolds stars as The Singing Nun, known in the movie as Sister Ann, and she did a fantastic job. The movie is based on a true story, though like most movies of its kind, a lot of liberties on the plot have been taken. True or …

I’m not a big fan of Matt Damon (although I love him in Bourne Identity), but he was very good here in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Directed and written by Anthony Minghella and set in Italy amidst a
luxurious setting, The Talented Mr. Ripley is the story of Tom Ripley …

“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …

This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …

I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …

Saving Sarah Cain is a movie I stumbled across one day when I was kind of bored of the usual stuff. It grabbed my attention because it was about a city girl raising her sister’s Amish children. It is a great way of learning more about this rather quite …

After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.

The movie revolves around the very peculiar …

I’m not what you would call a super duper die hard fan of X-men comics, but I do enjoy the movies and have followed them since the very first one came out. I was excited for the newest movie in the X-men Days of Future Past, when viewing the trailers. …
