Chiedimi se sono felice movie
Yesternight, I watched this movie, from three Italian Actors that are rather famous here in Italy. They are called by their first names, know as Giacomo, Aldo and Giovanni, which are in fact also their characters’ names in the films they’re also (!) making on their own.
I had seen …
The Mayor of Casterbridge
The Mayor of Casterbridge with Alan Bates has impressed me. It is a story of a man who gets drunk and sells his wife and baby daughter to a stranger. Twenty years later, the wife, Susan, returns. It turns out that she has been a faithful wife to the …
Mad Money (2008)
This is the movie for the times that we are living in now, if only we could cook up a plan to get in our possession the old money that are going to be destroyed, then we could make better use of it. It is hard to believe that …
Teeth, movie by Mitchell Lichtenstein
Teeth is a movie written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein and stars Jess Weixler. It premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

Cars-animated movie
Disney can still make good movies, if they put their mind to it. I didn’t expect much went I to see “Cars”; I thought I would be treated to good animation (with the today’s technology, there is no excuse for bad one), some cute characters and some ugly ones, …
Black Cat Episode 4
Black Cat Episode 4 involves Sven and Rinslet Walker trying to rescue Eve from Torneo’s mansion while Black Cat tries to finish the job and kill her.
I liked this episode a lot; it was really clever and showed off more of Sven’s talents as a master escape artist. …
Don’t Look Now movie
The self-taught director Nicholas Roeg made the incredible beautiful and mysterious film called Walkabout in the early 1970s, and followed it up with this horrific film with diabolic undertones. It is the story of an english couple played by Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland who’s daughter dies for mysterious …
My Mom’s New Boyfriend (2008)

The Bridesmaids Movie
The movie Bridesmaids was not quiet what I thought that it would be. When I first saw the previews for the movie I was convinced that it would be absolutely hilarious. However, I have to say that although I did find that movie funny, it was not quiet the …
Brothers movie
Note: This review contains spoilers!
“Brothers”, starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman is a movie that suffers from bad marketing. When I saw the trailer for it, I was expecting a psychological thriller, and instead found the movie to be more of a run of the mill drama. …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (fantasy movie)
When I first saw the trailer for “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”, I already figured out that the movie wouldn’t be very good, but I was still curious to know what it would be about. Later on, I found out that the movie was actually based on one of …
The Bloody Judge movie
I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …
The Lovely Bones
I had read the book and really wanted to see this movie. I took my daughter with me, as she had read the book as well. We were both hoping for a different ending than the book had, and we were happy to see an ending we both liked. …
Movie Freaky Friday
I sometimes think that certain producers lack fantasy in coming up with original movies. “Freaky Friday” represent a movie about twisting identity in a series of three that came and are going to be released from Hollywood. We all remember Tom Hanks famous role in “Big” and he was …
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Who doesn’t love this holiday classic? Unlike so many Christmas movies and specials, this one remains as timeless as ever. Anyone of any generation can instantly get interested in the tale of Rudolph, the poor reindeer who is different from the rest and is thus outcast.

Movie: Penelope
“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …

Movie About a Boy
As I’ve indicated in other reviews, I’m not a huge fan of British movies. And, the Hugh Grant film About a Boy is a good example of why.
Grant plays his normal character, a single man who looks to hook up with various women and starts out lying to them …
Bridget Jones’ Diary movie
One of the movies I hesitated to watch for a very long time was a movie called “Bridget Jones’ Diary”. This was because I usually hate romance films and I heard that the movie was a romance movie. It also starred the actress Renee Zellweger as the lead and …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …
Across the Universe Movie

James Cagney has center stage in this 1950 salute to America’s West Point Academy, where the Army’s finest are schooled and trained. In this movie, Cagney plays Elwin Bixby, a Broadway director, who helps the cadets put on a show. Of course, it’s not quite that simple. …
The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …

Gulliver’s Travels 2010 movie
In the bad and disappointing comedy series hall of fame, walks Gulliver’s Travels. The film retains in a certain extent the classic story of Gulliver in the land of dwarfs.

Movie Hair Spray
Some musicals are entertaining to watch and may even be funny. In the case of the movie Hair Spray, you also have a movie that is very fun to watch.
