Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005 movie)

Another Cinderellla Story

The movie stars Selena Gomez as Mary. Mary’s mother died and so Mary now lives …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …

The Bigamist movie

Thunder on the Hill movie
Thunder on the Hill is a movie I love because it stars two actresses whose talents I’ve enjoyed for decades, Claudette Colbert and Ann Blyth. It’s a very dramatic film, even intense in places. As a young girl, it actually startled me a couple of times.
Blyth plays …
Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …
