Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief Movie (2010)
This seemed like a real cool movie when we saw the trailer at the theatre but it didn’t seem like my cup of tea because it’s more suitable for teenagers, but since I have lots of free movie passes, I decided to watch and try this movie.
The movie is …

Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …
Bedtime Stories movie
I recently bought the DVD for the movie and watched it together with my family. In my opinion, the story is quite similar to another movie by the name of Inkheart but this one is more suitable for children due to its story and approach.
The movie’s main character is …

I don’t get this movie. It starts off with a young man trying to get into the US Navy. He is approached and offered a late entry spot and he takes the opportunity. He goes under the usual regulated training as a US Naval officer, then the whole direction …
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Space Opera Movie (2015)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a 2 hour 15 minute masterpiece. I watched the movie in IMAX 3D, a format I definitely recommend to anyone that has not watched the movie because the visuals are outstanding. I’m now excited to see how this new Star Wars trilogy will unfold.

The Stepfather Movie

Project Moonbase Image Entertainment DVD
When I bought Project Moonbase, I was expecting to see a sprawling, scientifically accurate moon city, especially when I knew it was written by Robert Heinlein, one of the giants of literary science fiction. I was even further encouraged when I saw the spectacular opening titles, set against …
Hidden Figures (2016 Biographical Drama Film)
Movies that emit contagious amount of goodness are rare these days, but this new Theodore Melfi-directed film is such a treat to the senses. It’s no denying that I applauded so many times in the duration of this movie.
Hidden Figures is about the untold true story of three black …
Howard the Duck
This is a movie made by George Lucas. Truthfully, I didn’t know that George Lucas had made any other movies besides the Star Wars ones. The cover looked kind of strange, with this big duck on it and I was unsure what the movie was about. Anyway, I checked …

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
For some weird reason (maybe it’s Sean Connery) I actually prefer the last of the Indiana Jones trilogy, the Last Crusade, over the other two. I�m not sure why though because, when you think about it, it brings more of the bad stuff from the other two than the …
The Hunger Games (Movie)
One of the movies that I have watched over the course of the year, is “The Hunger Games”, starring actors Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. The thing that really compelled me to go and see the movie was the books, as I found the whole series enthralling. The trailer …
A Little Princess

Bye Bye Birdie

Before when I was watching the movie trailer of Ironman, I was thinking that the trailer was just intended to hype up the anticipated viewers of the film. I guess my first impression was wrong, I under estimated the capacity of the movie to become a blockbuster hit.
Anyway, …
The Rugrats Movie
I’ve said this once before, but any movie that will keep my 3-year-old daughter occupied for 90 minutes is one that will always receive high praise from me.
The Rugrats movie is one of those films.
I bought her the movie about a week ago as a bribe. She had spent …

It Happened to Jane movie
This 1959 Doris Day movie, It Happened to Jane, is one of my favorite Day productions. It costars Jack Lemmon, and Lemmon is just top notch. He and Day are wacky and adorable together. For most of the film, they’re just friends with underlying love that …
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
As a big Harry potter fan I went to see the motion picture Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the local movie theatre. However I must say that I am disappointed. David Yates does not do justice to the book at all. I see it as …
Erin Brockovich movie
The movie Erin Brockovich is a very inspiring movie. She was a single mom of three that proved that she could make it. I was really impressed how she fought for the people in the town against a big company.
Even though the film is loosely based on a true …
The Disappearance of Flight 412 movie
I remember watching The Disappearance of Flight 412 when it came on TV for the first time in 1974. I bought it, hook, line, and sinker. I’m not necessarily talking about the UFO bit, well, yes, I am.
The truth is that I’m not arrogant enough to believe …
Clash of the Titans movie
For those of you that you were born too late (like me), Clash of the Titans is a film appeared in 1981, which used some sort of an animation for special effects. But in this review we won’t talk about that movie. We will be talking about the remake. …

Confessions of a Shopaholic
—˜Confessions of a Shopaholic’ is a great movie for us women. I believe that many women have —˜shopaholic’ moments where we buy all kind of things and end up not using most of them like the main character of this movie interpreted by Isla Fisher.
The first thing that really …
The Cable Guy movie
The Cable Guy stars Matthew Broderick and Jim Carrey as a looney cable guy. This movie has some very funny moments and my boyfriend likes to quote it all the time. The first time I saw it I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end. I thought it was …
Kalifornia, movie (1993)

Night and the City Movie

After a full decade of substandard Batman movies finally the caped crusader has something to cheer about. And what a surprise, too! The sheer number of lukewarm reviews this movie received was enough to make me hesitate to see it. The only person I know who actually gave this …
Up in the Air movie
Up in the Air surprised me. I wasn’t sure that I would like it. The reason for that is that it stars George Clooney. Sometimes, I like his stuff, and sometimes I don’t. I wasn’t anticipating much. Thus, when I was being entertained, I …
