Shutter Island Movie (2010)

Disney movie: Planes
I went to watch this movie with a 5 year old boy who absolutely LOVES Cars, Disney’s previous movie set in the same universe where humans and animals don’t exist, and are actually replaced by cars, trucks and planes.
First of all I have to say the animation was flawless, …
Project Almanac (science fiction movie)
As soon as I watched the trailer for the movie Project Almanac it was easy for me to determine that it wasn’t going to be very good. However since I’m generally unable to resist movies about time travel I decided to watch it. While it did live up to my …
Rango (computer animated movie)
It took me years to watch the animated movie “Rango” even though some of my favourite actors did some of the voice acting. The main reason why it took so long too was that it seemed to have an “average” rating or “slightly above average” rating from people who watched …

I love Tom Hanks as an actor and he does such a good job in all the characthers that he plays. In the move the Terminal he plays this Eastern European man named of Viktor Navorski, Tom Hanks. While on a trip to New York his country …
The Cobbler, Movie

War and Peace: A Film by King Vidor (1956)
Once again, I’m back to watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I was anticipating War and Peace to replicate the same picture of the actress as the other regal-themed, A Roman Holiday, yet the movie wasn’t focused primarily on her character and I ended enjoying the whole film instead. …
Cool World movie
One of the rare films were reality and animation is combined. Gabriel Byrne in the leading role as an animator who’s creations comes to life for unknown reasons.

I recently saw Sex in The City (The Movie), like i’m sure most of you women and some men have already dashed to the nearest theatre to see. I say most women and some men, based on my trip to the movies and the observations I made while …
Black Dahlia
I found this movie to be drawn out, lacking in valuable information known in the real Black Dahlia murder, and more of a love story than a mystery.
Being a huge fan of true crime books and movies I anticipated the release of The Black Dahlia on dvd. I had …
Movie: “Grandma’s Boy” (2006)
Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.

Hocus Pocus
Who doesn’t love this movie ?!? It has Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker in it ! I own it on DVD and in my ipod; I adore those cheesy Halloween-y witch-y movies. I don’t give summaries on my reviews because I don’t want to give the plot away. …

“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
Movie: You’re in the Army Now
Since it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had an opportunity to watch a lot of military movies. One of them was the comedy “You’re in the Army Now.”
This movie, which starred Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante as a couple of sales people who wind up in …
Traitor
The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …
