Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
The Revenant (2015 Historical Drama Movie)
I hesitated in watching it for some time but after a while I realised that I was hearing nothing but gushing reviews about the movie “The Revenant”. When I realised that it was even nominated for several prestigious awards I decided to take the chance and watch it myself. While …

“Legends of the Fall” is a sprawling epic released in 1995 starring Brad Pitt in one of his finest roles. He plays Tristan, who comes of age in early 20th century Montana with his father and two brothers. Tristan is a force of nature. Even though everything around him …
Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …

Many characters that appeared in Mai Otome are actually from Mai-Hime but with different personalities, roles, and sometimes age and form.

3:10 to Yuma-the Removie (2007)
I like westerns very much and am always pleased when Hollywood makes another one with a high budget and good actors. I enjoyed “3:10 to Yuma”-the removie very much. I found it believable and superior to the original. “3:10 to Yuma” is a Relativity Media production, a company that …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …
Movie Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it very much. I still love that movie after watching over hundred times in all these years. This Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starred movie is one of the greatest romantic movies of Hollywood …
Film Brokeback Mountain
Based on Anne Proulx’s beautiful short story, Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain casts Heath Ledger as Ennis and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jack, two cowboys who fall in love up on the title mountain while watching after sheep. This event effects the rest of their lives, as they meet up throughout …
Movie Heavy
Heavy with Liv Tyler, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Debbie Harry, and Shelly Winters.
I must admit that I only watched this movie because it featured the beautiful, alluring Liv Tyler. Then I continued to watch it because I could not figure what it was about. It …
An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
The Ninth Gate, movie
Johnny Depp steps out in a new role as a rare book expert preying on the loss and misfortune of others. It’s a long way from his more known characters, but his performance is excellent in this dark and somewhat comical exploration of secret societies and the quest to …
Tammy and the Doctor
Sandra Dee is back again as swamp gal Tammy Tyree in Tammy and the Doctor. Debbie Reynolds began the Tammy trend by falling in love with accident crash victim and bachelor, Peter Brent. By the end of that movie, it looked like Tammy would soon be Mrs. …
Wild Hogs
This very hilarious movie, called Wild Hogs, is a box office hit in my country, and I managed to catch it as well.
I laugh my whole way through at the antics of a group of middle-aged friends, who decided to go on a motorcycling trip together. Their antics …
Envy (movie)
“Envy” was one of those movies that I discovered bombed at the box office when it was released, but when I watched it, I couldn’t understand why. I’ve seen infinitely worse comedies and movies with much better ratings even though I thought that this one had a better plot …
Prime movie
The movie Prime staring Uma Thuman and Meryl Streep is a great, fun loving movie. Trying to show the perils of older women dating a younger man, and a mothers want for her son to be with someone with the same religion. I found some parts of the movie …
Hydra movie
The first time I had heard of the movie “Hydra” was when I had seen it advertising on the cable television channel SyFy. Even then, I could clearly see that it was going to be one of SyFy’s usual B-rated creature horror films, and when I had decided to …
The Fault in Our Stars (teen romance movie)
I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …

Film “Ginger Snaps”
Ginger Snaps is one of the best older movies I’ve seen this month. Every October I watch a lot of horror movies in honor of halloween and this year for the first time I watched Ginger snaps because Netflix recommended it to me. The story follows two …

This was a good movie that I love very much to watch when it first came out. I love the storyline between the two lovers, a poor American guy and his rich girlfriend, and how even though they only met for a short time in the ship, their love …

ABD Family’s Original Movie “Cyberbully” (2011 Film)
ABS Family came out with a movie in 2011 called Cyberbully. And I have to just say that this movie went beyond my expectations and brought viewers the type of movie that focuses on a key issue effecting young teens. I was surprised at how relatable the film was …
The Dark Half,movie
The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …
300 (2006)
From the vivid imagination of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, comes the movie version of ‘300′. If you have ever read about the Persian invasion, then chances are, you would know of the Spartans and their never say die attitude in battle. In this movie, 300 hardcore, blood thirsty patriot …
Blood Diamond (2006 film)
We have all heard about Africa, we have seen reports on the news, but we have never experienced it as directly and as strongly from the screen as we do with Edward Zwick’s new visually and emotionally competent epic adventure drama film Blood Diamond.

X Men Origins : Wolverine movie

He’s Just Not That Into You movie
As far as romantic comedies go, or better known as —˜chick flicks,’ I suppose “He’s Just Not That Into You” is okay. This movie certainly has an all-star cast, including Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, and Drew Barrymore, so even if the plot is lame, these names and faces can …
Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?
Norbit is one of the dumbest movies that I’ve seen …
Baby Einstein DVD’s
When I first put in the Baby Mozart DVD my baby was just born and her response even at that young of an age was so positive I went out and bought the set of all 20 and am very glad I did.
The DVD’s state which ones are …
Bubba Ho-Tep movie
Normally, I like Bruce Campbell movies, but when I saw Bubba Ho-Tep, I was actually embarrassed to be watching it, and I was in the privacy of my own house.
What a stupid movie. Basically, Elvis is alive and living at a nursing home in the deep south. He ends …
Movie: Nine Dead
I have had the film Nine Dead loaded on my Netflix player for a few weeks now. But, I did not take the time to watch it until last night because I suspected it would be a terrible rip off of the Saw movies or some other movie I …
Powder (1995 movie)
This movie grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let go until you reach the very end. It captivates you and it keeps on giving that true movie experience. You want to see what happens next, you want to see where the movie is leading, you want to find …
Eat Pray Love movie
My husband would call this a definite “Chick” flick. No action, no thrills, just relationships and love. My feminist “hackles” go up when he says that and I feel slightly guilty to admit that I “kinda” liked this movie.
It’s not a new story …
Argo (movie)
Argo is a Biography, History and Drama movie based on a true story. A story of six American Ambassadors who managed to escape from the Embassy while it was attacked by some revolutionists of Iran. The story was directed by Ben Affleck who directed one of my favourite movies …

Blades of Glory
When we rented Blades of Glory, I didn�t know what to expect from it. We�ve watched Will Ferrell movies in the past and, while some are absolutely hilarious, there are just as many that were very disappointing to us.
The good news for us was, while I wouldn�t put Blades …
Into the Wild
Most people dream of winning the lottery or going on a long vacation? Chris McCandless dreamed of living in the wild and made 100% sure that nothing and no one got in the way from making his dream come true.
“Into the Wild” is a true story of Chris McCandless …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.2: Gnothi Seauton
Well, to my discovery, it seems that this TV show follows an alternate timeline after “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and has nothing to do with “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (even though “Terminator: Salvation” does). That’s good and bad in my opinion, but that’s a whole other story …
