Candyman (movie)
“Candyman” was one of those horror movies that I remember watching back when I was still very young. I was actually too young to be watching something like that, and as a result I remember being frightened for a very long time. When I was much older though, and …

Devil wears prada
I watched this movie about a week ago. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but there was nothing funny about it. It was getting late and I was really close to just turning it off and going to sleep. It wasn’t that entertaining to watch and …

The TV series Tammy was done after three successful theatrical movies with the character of Tammy Tyree had been released. Debbie Reynolds and Sandra Dee had made the character part of the American landscape. Everyone loved the swamp girl who lived on the riverboat with her grandpa. …

I usually try to find cartoons to load on our Netflix player for our daughter to watch after school. Yesterday morning, I found one I have seen parts of; The Jetsons Movie and I put in on there for her.
She had just started watching it last night when I …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
My fiance and I saw this movie this weekend. I adore the Indiana Jones movies and used to play ‘Indiana Jones’, when I was a kid with my friends. Of course I’m a girl so I had a mad crush on Harrison Ford.
I loved the fact that they made …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself (PG13, 2009)
I have watched a few Tyler Perry films and decided to give “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” a chance. I really like Taraji Henson as an actress, and have always been a fan of hunky Adam Rodriguez. The story is centered on a group of …

Movie Deception
Overall this was an alright movie, I thought that it could have been a lot better. It kind of dragged out some during the beginning of the movie. There was also too much sex in the movie, I thought anyway. It’s about this accountant who meets this guy and …
Ant-Man, movie
The already very crowded club of super heroes with their own movies got another member; it is the Ant-Man. A man who can shrink and become small as an ant, he wears a suit that makes him look like an ant and he can also communicate with and command ants. …

Fever Pitch movie
Fever Pitch, starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, has been out on video for a few months now, but if you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
This is a great date night movie. Guys - it has baseball! What more can you ask for? …
Apocalypto
I don’t think I was fully prepared for what a wonderful film this would be. Set in ancient Mayan times, this film directed by Mel Gibson follows a tribe of Mayans who are in fight for their very existence when a neighboring tribe destroys their village and then …
Silent Hill (2006)
Why oh why oh why must Hollywood feel the need to make games into movies? Are they so desperate that they can’t find a decent writer, or novel to base a good movie on, or maybe they lack thinking outside the box. Was the game that great that it …
Paper Moon,1973 movie

As Good as It Gets, the movie (1997)
I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …
Avatar 3D
James Cameron’s new mega hollywood blockbuster Avatar is one of those movies you just have to watch. Whether or not you like the genre, any project costing hundreds of millions of dollars is in my mind something to look out for.
I decided to see it in its full glory, …
Return of the Rebels movie
Return of the Rebels is a made-for-TV movie that I loved to watch back in the day. It was one of those fun films that was showed repeatedly during a pre-cable era. It stars Barbara Eden and Don Murray, and something about it just appealed to me …

Fantastic Four
“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
The Rack movie
What a cast! I can’t believe I’ve let some quality Paul Newman films slip by without seeing them. I’ve always enjoyed Newman; he was a favorite of mine since I first saw him as a little girl. Somehow, though, I’ve been remiss in not catching some …
Blackadder Back & Forth movie

Baby Mama
I’ve seen plenty of movies about giving birth before. But, I have to admit the film Baby Mama was one that offered a unique take on the miracle of life.
Rather than your typical husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend having a baby movie, this film features an adventure involving a surrogate mother …

The Sixth Sense
Oh, I loved this movie when it came out. I am also very easily scared though and the twist at the end of it had me freaked out. I love the subtle nuances in this movie, they make them seem real. I don’t know why writers have to use …
This Christmas movie
I really wish African American films would get better than this. This film was such a rip-off of “Soul Food” that it is not even funny. The sisters fighting the youngest one dating an “intelligent thug”, legal troubles, selling Big Mama/Ma’Dere’s property the list just …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
It is quite unusual to see Renee Zellwegger in a horror movie like case 39, to say the least. When I think about Renee Zellwegger I am coming up with images from Bridget Jones Diary or Jerry Maguire. But she did it, and she did it brilliantly. She brought …
Shallow Grave movie

Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.
As it turns out, it was actually a pretty good …
Next movie
The movie Next is what I am reviewing. It stars Nicholas Cage, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Biel.
I found this movie so much more then an action-adventure file. There was also drama, and a love story mixed into it.
It starts out with the main character Chris Johnson …
The Last Airbender Movie
I am the biggest Avatar fan in the world. I absolutely love the series and I remember it being an integral part of my childhood. And I have to admit, I still rewatch the series every now and then even though it is kind of a childish show. The …

The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Easy A movie
One of the best comedies and movies on a whole that I watched very recently was a teen film called “Easy A”. At first when I saw it advertising I did not have much interest in watching it, but it was only after reading a particular review on the …
Happy Feet (2006)
Happy Feet is a 3D animation movie. I can say it’s a musical movie. Lots of songs in there. If you like musicals, watch it. If you don’t, you could try but I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.
Happy Feet is about a penguin that can’t sing. He …
The Bit Hit Movie
This is one of my favorite movies starring Mark Wahlberg, this was one of the movies including Fear which he got so famous in and what makes it more funny is that Lou Diamond Philips stars as the antagonist here. It’s a comedy film although the plot isn’t and …
One Missed Call
After the ring came out in 2002, quite a few movie producers have tried to copy its success by tweaking the plot a bit.
One Missed Call does this as well. Too bad they don’t do a good enough job at it.
In theory, this should be a scary film. Whenever …
Curly Sue (1991)
