The Movie Prince of Egypt
I remember when I first heard about Prince of Egypt the movie. It was made by DreamWorks, who at the time were kind of the new guys on the producing block. It was a new version of animated Biblical stories that actually really piqued my curiosity. …
A Love Song For Bobby Long (R, 2004) movie
I really wanted to like this movie starring Scarlett Johansson. She’s a pretty good actress. And for her to be so young, she is really good at depicting different types of characters with great depth. This story surrounds the living situation Purslane Will (Johansson) she …
DVD Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
Oh boy, is this the most incoherent movie ever made or what?
Warning: You may want to take an aspirin before reading this review.
In 1970, Independent International Films had a hit with Satan’s Sadist, a biker gang movie, and the following year a sequel (Satan’s Blood Freaks) was put into …
Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” movie
Imagine… Back before engines or high speed communication, where battle is done with metal blades and crude and cruel superstitions serve as the voice of both law and medical science, you give a decade of your life traveling far from home to fight the enemies of your religion. After so …
A Charlie Brown Christmas
My favorite Christmas-themed movie is A Charlie Brown Christmas. I am a huge fan of Peanuts and all the characters in it. I think A Charlie Brown Christmas is so cute, and it is a classic Christmas movie. One of the best parts is that it …
Cloverfield
This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …
Over the Hedge movie
My family and I went to see Over The Hedge and we found it to be a good movie. It does seem like this year that all the movies in the theaters for kids have been about animals, Chicken Little, Madagascar, The Wild, and now Over The Hedge. I …
Bring It On
I really enjoyed this movie about teenage cheerleaders and the competition they enter to be in a music video. While the movie may seem to be about cheerleading and winning, the story also has a great heart about friendship.
The cheerleading moves in this movie are amazing. I have …
A League of their Own movie
I am reviewing the movie, A League of the their Own, which was released in 1997. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are just a few big stars that acted in this incredible movie about the first ever woman’s baseball team. Tom Hanks plays Jimmy Dugan, who in …
National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
The Illusionist
“The Illusionist” and “The Prestige” had hit movie theaters with only about a month’s difference; they both tell a story of 19 century stage magicians in Europe. I don’t know whose idea it was to release two movies on the same subject at the same time and whether they …
Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …
You don’t mess with the zohan
Whenever Adam Sandler makes a movie, you really never know what you’re going to get. He’s had some film classics like The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore. Then, he’s had movies like You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, that are so terrible, you can’t get through a …
Aelita-Queen of Mars
A russian silent film made aside from the artistic works of the montage industry. The director of this film was a man named Yakov Protazanov, and the story of it is a lot more conventional than other russian films of the time, and doesn’t demand all that much of …
DNANgel Episode 3 (Anime)
DNAngel episode 3 has Daisuke trying to rescue Riku after she mysteriously disappears.
This is a good episode, although it’s quite strange because of who the culprit is behind the kidnappings but I won’t spoil it for you. You’ll have to see it for yourself. The plot is …
Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
A Walk To Remember
When my friends and I talked about the movie A Walk To Remember each time, we would always remember the truly sad ending to this story. I am a hopeless romantic and I find myself knowing what’s going to be the ending to this really sad and romantic movie …
Unlimited movie rental
I signed up for Blockbuster Total Access 3 months ago. I was very surprised that it worked the way Blockbuster says on TV. If you sign up at the store or online you have to pay a monthly fee. I signed up for the unlimited movies …

Courage Under Fire - (starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan)
I remember watching Courage Under Fire during the year of 2000 at the movies and it was quite a wonder why the Director feature both talented actor and actress Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan together. But upon watching the movie, I realized that both of them play a truly …
Spaceballs (1987 movie)
If it’s from Mel Brooks, it’s great comedy.
Spaceballs makes parody of Star Wars, having the same great characters, but with a comedic insight. Lord Dark Helmet (very huge helmet) is sent to steal air from planet Druidia. Lone Starr with the help of his trusty sidekick Barfolemew ‘Barf’ are …
Girl, Interrupted
Girl, Interrupted is a very good attempt by the makers of the movie. The movie which is inspired by the book with the same title, deals with a teenage girl’s experiences at a rehabilitation center during her 18 month stay there. Though the movie doesn’t have a universal appeal, …
The Hunt (drama movie)
I made the decision to watch the movie “The Hunt” without knowing much about the plot. I didn’t even watch the trailer like I would do with most movies that I’m interested in, and I’m glad I didn’t because it was so much more interesting and thrilling that way. It’s …
Inception Movie (2010)
This movie just showed out today and I couldn’t resist not watching it since it had garnered so much hype and attention from press and interviews on HBO while it has not yet been released, when I saw the trailer I thought it was really weird but when I …
Erin Brockovich
Ok, I never would have thought that a movie about a slutty, foul mouthed unattractive mother of a litter of kids would have won an Oscar for anyone. Thank you academy for proving me wrong.
Erin Brockovich is down as my all time worst movie. If this woman …
Notes on a Scandal
I didn’t quite know what to expect with this one. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, capable of assuming all sorts of roles. Her role as a pedophile (essentially), teacher having an affair with one of her students was rather shocking. But …
The Married Woman movie
Of all the hindi language movies that come out of Bollywood- India’s largest film industry, there are a few that tug at your heart strings. Parineeta meaning the married woman is one such. Based on famed novelist Sarat Chaandra Chattopadhya’s classic literary work by the same name, Parineeta transports …
X Men the Last Stand
Ok I will X men a lot. And I think the first two movies were pretty good. But the 3rd one was just horrible. I mean they had way to many characters and there was way to much going on at the same time in the movie.I couldn’t really keep …
Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Live Free or Die Hard, directed by Len Wiseman is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for intense sequences of violence and action, language and a brief sexual situation. The original release date was June 27, 2007 for United States audience. This movie falls in the …
Men In Black II
The sequel to Men In Black suffers from the same disease that plagues most sequels, it fails to live up to the expectations that viewers had after the masterpiece of the first movie. One of the saving graces of this sequel is that the main characters come back, even …
Pulp Fiction (1994 film)
Quentin Tarantino is an unnatural director making movies with distinctively entertaining and yet thoughtful direction with unique presentation of a one of a kind story. I discover the very best of this style of his, not that there is anything bad in it, in Pulp Fiction.
Jules …
American Vampire
I picked up the movie American Vampire in the $1 section at Walmart and now know why, until I bought it, I had never heard of it.
The movie reminded me a lot of the bad vampire movies that were frequent throughout the 80s. It had it all, teenagers being …

I am reviewing the movie, Rear Window, starring James Stewart. James Stewart plays a man who has broken his leg. He is keyed up in his apartment with nothing to do. He has a girlfriend who stops in on him from time to time, and she is gorgeous, …
The Stepford Wives (2004)
Oh why didn’t I watch it earlier??? This movie was in my movie collection but I just didn’t watch it yet. I decided to pop it in the DVD player tonight and wow, what a movie. It kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands but the …
Scary Movie 4
After seeing Scary Movie 4 this past weekend, I was glad to finally see a movie series that gets better with time. Since dumping the Wayan Brothers prior to the third movie, the plots in the Scary Movie series have gotten more mature and focus more on movie spoofs …

KingKong (2005)
I remember having watched this movie twice. There’s a lot of weird stuff going in this movie since the setting is a farflung and unrecognized island that is forever covered by clouds from the sailors. Yes the giant ants, centipedes, and other types of bugs even leeches …

“Deadly Grace” is quite a fast paced thriller.
FBI agent, Alex Cruz has been sent to talk to a Person of Interest in a double homicide in England. The Person of Interest is Jillian Meade in a small town in Minnesota.

Michael Douglas plays a man in …
Movie: Marley & Me
My oldest daughter has wanted to watch the movie Marley & Me ever since she saw previews for it. But, I was a bit hesitant to let her do that because I knew a movie like that would end up having some sort of sad ending to it and …
Queen - Don’t Stop Me Now - Single
This for me is just one of the most positive and upbeat songs you can ever find to listen to. So much so that it’s gradual but inspired build up is so recognisable that I have seen it stop dance floors with people singing along with Freddie.
I have to …

Anyway we went to see PS I Love you, at …
Maid in Manhattan (2002)
I love Jennifer Lopez, and this movie that she atsr in alongside of of hollywoods most eligible leading men makes her shine brighter than she can ever shine while doing the singing thing. As an actress, I have more love for her than with her singing, because to me, …
Anna and the King
I admit that I am a Jodie Foster fan. Whatever this actress does, she always impress me with her acting talent. “Anna and the King” is an impressive movie mainly because the two main acters are simply brilliant and together with a great director they manage to hold you …
In The Mouth of Madness Movie
I didn’t think that there would be a movie that would be able to scare me, but this does not apply if that movie is made by the famous director John Carpenter (”Halloween”). In the case I experienced this on me, after I decided to watch his grim film …
Silent Night, Deadly Night
Silent Night, Deadly Night is a Christmas themed horror movie from the 1980s. The movie tells the story of a young boy who watches his parents get killed by a man dressed up as Santa Claus. When he gets older, he seems to have his life on track and …
