Starsky And Hutch movie
Starsky and Hutch is a remake of the television series by the same name that was highly popular in the 1970s. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this hilarious movie. Now, I do not usually watch movies like this, because they are just the kind of comedies I …
The Heartbreak Kid
The best words that describe the movie “The Heartbreak Kid” is an attempt from the actor, Ben Stiller to make a successful movie similar to “There’s Something about Mary”. After nine years from “There’s Something about Mary” he teams about with the Farrell brothers to produce this movie, which …
Hot Rod (the movie)
Hot Rod is surprisingly hilarious! I thought this would be a dull humor flick, but I found myself laughing through 90% of the movie. Its a comedy about a 20 something year old guy living with his mom and stepdad aspiring to be a stunt man. …
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Mulholland Drive is an absolute masterpiece from surreal director David Lynch, but it is not for everybody I guess. Some people are going to be irritated at the strangeness of this film, but others like me enjoy that strangeness and it serves to draw us into the mystery. …
Watch Berserk Now! (anime)
And, the top pick of over 100 anime series is…
DUNN DUNN DUNN…!
Berserk.

Great art?
Unpredictable plots?

So, you might have guessed, but a hobby of mine is watching rare and mainstream anime. I came across it by accident. Picked it up on a rainy day and …

My Dog Skip movie
My Dog Skip is a sad, yet heartwarming story/movie. I don’t cry with a lot of movies but this movie made me shed a few tears. My Dog Skip is about a young boy growing up in Mississippi with his terrier dog Skip. Both the boy and the dog …

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 …
Drive (2011 film)
Okay, recently there has been a difference of opinion about this film boiling away between various groups of my friends, so I have decided to write a little about it and explain what I like about it, and why I think you should too (And perhaps some stuff about …
Holiday Wishes movie
I love to watch a good Christmas movie, and goodness knows, I’ve watched a ton, but even so, I have to admit that this 2006 TV movie, Holiday Wishes, is just a so-so film that doesn’t really emit any emotions of consequence. It’s a filler with mostly mediocre …
Sweet November movie
In this remake of the 60s film by the same name, ‘Sweet November’ features a heart warming story of acceptance, tenderness, and love on many different levels of being.
Set in San Francisco, California, Nelson Moss is a workaholic. So busy in fact, that he barely remembers his girlfriend …
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 Movie
I couldn’t wait until the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie came out on DVD. Everyone in my family loved the first one and, even though I figured it might not be as good as the original, I was still looking forward to seeing the sequel.
Unfortunately, the second movie …
Glory movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie Glory. I’m not normally a person who watches war movies but this is definitely one of my favorites.
Let’s face it, it’s Matthew Broderick in an actually serious role as a civil war colonel in charge of an …

I absolutely love V for Vendetta!
V for Vendetta is a politically charged action film starring Natalie Portman, John Heard, Stephen Fry, and Stephen Root. Hugo Weaving stars as V, the victim of a grand politically supported medical experiment gone wrong, who becomes a masked vigilante.
Set in England, in …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
Movie Sweet Home Alabama
We love movies, and we like watching all types of movies, I have my favorite actors and actresses that I like to watch, my husband has his favorite actors and actresses that he like to watch so we compromise, I make him watch a love story every once in …
Movie: Aliens in the Attic

Star Wars movie
Quite honestly, I was a huge hold out to the entire Star Wars thing. The 1977 movie had been out for months, close to a year I believe, before I finally caved in and went to see it. By then, seats were plentiful. I must admit …
The Bible … In the Beginning movie
The Bible … In the Beginning is a huge John Huston epic that tells the story of the Book of Genesis from the Bible. It’s not without its controversy, however, primarily with the opening Garden of Eden sequence in which male and female nudity is shown. That …
Constantine (the Movie)
I watched Constantine (with Keanu Reeves) for the fifth or sixth time again last night. Every time I watch it, this movie seems to get better. Even though it came out in 2005, it still doesn’t cease to impress me and I think it will always remain to be …
Godzilla 1954
Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film. Unlike the butchered American version which deleted scenes considered to horrific and removed other scenes in favor of …
The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005 movie)
Just by the title’s name you can already summize what the movie is about, so I need not get into the dirty details of this movie, and believe me, it is dirty. This is one of the movies that give men a bad name, but other than that, it …
From Russia with Love movie
The second 007 film shows Sean Connery again as the british super agent. This time he goes to Russia to fight the dangerous SPECTRE organisation, and of course meets a few women while he’s there.
From Russia with Love has a very similar pace and structure as the first film …
The Haunted Mansion
This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …
Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
Dostana
The promos of dostana generated controversies about some sizzling scenes. The songs that came out before the movie also very really good. I wanted to watch the movie. So went to watch the movie because afterall it was a youthful movie about friends as per the previews and also …

Cinderella movie
Compared to the thousands of other Disney films that have come out since, Cinderella is far from the best animated film ever made. However, it’s still a real treat to watch whenever you have a family movie night.

The Road pictures continue with this third outing from 1942 called Road to Morocco. As with the first two films, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour starred. It was that same old formula, too, but that isn’t a bad thing in the case of this movie.
