Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell)
Bear with me, because I have to type these 3 names because they are amazing. I watched Old School (starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) the other day and it was super hilarious. There can never be a movie close to it, except for movies starring …

Wall-E
When I saw all the ads to Wall-E, I thought that it was going to be a boring movie with a lot of silence, but I was wrong. It was one of the best animations that Disney has made yet, both graphically as well as in the story line …
Red Eye
We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.
I was definitely wrong. While not as good as other airplane movies, it still was one of the better thrillers I’ve seen.
The main …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …

Night at the museum
I went and saw this in the pictures. I have to say I was quite pleased. Everyone was going on about it and I thought it’s going to be really boring and stupid but I was wrong. I will admit it was not as funny as it could have …

The movie Why Did I Get Married
I like Tyler Perry’s plays and his movies. This one was no different. THis movie is about what can happen to a relationship when it is not built on the right things. IT shows what can happen when couples start to take each other for granite and start to …
Legend of Zorro
Whether he is doing comedy or drama or action adventure, Antonio Banderas is always on the mark. He was born to play Zorro, and his choice to play him dramatically with just a layer of comedy is the right choice. Catherine Zeta Jones does well as his wife– ex-wife …
Winning of the West movie
I really don’t believe I’ve seen many Gene Autry movies, but the other day I was bored and there was nothing, and I mean nothing, on TV so I tuned in to a 1953 flick called Winning of the West. What I love about these old movies is …

The Chronicles of Narnia
If you really want your children to enjoy watching a good fantasy movie, than I recommand “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. This movie has the right ingredients to ensure that every child will enjoy watching it.
I must also add that “The Chronicles of …
Cats movie
The classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, originally based on a novel by T.S. Eliot, here transferred to the cinema.
I think it was a very colorful thing to look at, and some of the songs are unforgettable, but overall I think this felt more like a filmed musical stage …
The Other Boleyn Girl movie
I don’t ordinarily enjoy period films. I typically find them boring, tedious, and kind of silly. Plus, there is usually very little that I can relate to in them. But when a relative told me to give “The Other Boleyn Girl” a chance, I …
The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …
Kicking and Screaming (2005)
Phil Weston is a person who failed at every sport he tried at collage, track and field, running and lots more! And that’s not the the only problem, the problem is that his 10 year old son, Sam, is following his father’s footsteps. Sam is a benchwarmer of the …
Feature film “The Switch”
I am only sort of a romantic comedy fan. You can usually predict what will happen in the end and that bores the heck out of me. I did see the ending coming, it was predictable and trite, but the movie was still ok. Jennifer …
Iron Man 2 (Movie)
This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed! It features new characters such as The Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. I personally think Scarlett played a major role here and it …

Monsters, Inc. movie

Fracture (movie)
One thing that really impresses me about Anthony Hopkins is how he can play a criminal mastermind and yet play it to the point you actually have to be impressed with him.
In the movie Fracture, he plays a man who shoots his wife, is captured minutes later and confesses. …
The Man Without a Face (1993)

Beowolf
We always go to the movies at least once a week. Last Saturday we saw the movie Beowold. It was made for 3D and it had the features of Anthony Hopkins as the aging king and Angelina Jolie as the witch.
everyone has read Beowolf in high …
Forrest Gump
I was watching the movie Forrest Gump again for probably the third or fourth time. While not quite as good as I remember it when I originally saw it, I still think this has to be one of Tom Hanks better pictures.
The great thing about this movie is you …
The Wedding Singer
I love drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. I am so glad that they are together in one movie The wedding Singer. This movie is about a wedding singer named Robbie who was dumped by his girlfriend on the day of their wedding and a waitress named Julia who will …

American Sniper, movie
This movie has gotten a lot of buzz for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons are legit and others are a bit frivolous.
For some reason, people have turned the movie into a political pawn. Fox News talks about it all the time and …
My Bloody Valentine
Have you guys watched the 3D movie, My Bloody Valentine? I was so scared out of my mind watching this and since it is on 3D, it makes it all the more scarier especially when the psychotic killer throws the axe at the victims.
You feel like you …
Session 9 (2001 movie)
“Session 9″ is another one of those little known horror movies that never made it to the big screen, as far as I know. I came across it on cable, and two things about it intrigued me. The lead actor is David Caruso, who I always liked from his …
Rec Movie
This movie came out a while ago but I am reviewing it because I would like to view Spanish films from Spain to improve my understanding of the language.
First off, I have to say that at the beginning, this movie did help me with my Spanish, with a myriad …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
Pete’s Dragon
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Pete’s Dragon. Pete is a little boy who lives with a terrible family. He’s an orphan. He runs away. He has a friend, though…a big, gigantic, green one. His friend happens to be a dragon named Elliot, and Elliot helps him escape from …

Chocolat movie

Bram Stoker’s The Mummy
I honestly think there should be a law against Hollywood basing a movie off of a classic piece of literature and then making a film that doesn�t resemble the book at all.
Bram Stoker’s The Mummy is based off of his book The Jewel of the Seven Stars. While I …
The Transporter Refueled (2015) movie
What a disappointment! Over the weekend hubby and I decided to binge watch some movies that were on our “to see” list. One of these movies was The Transporter Refueled movie, the newest of the Transporter series. We’ve seen all of the other Transporter movies and we loved each one …
Batman Begins Movie
When I was three, I had a Batman fixation. I think that fixation has returned in full force after seeing Batman Begins. Every actor puts in a good effort, although the face behind Scarecrow is by far the most convincing and even frightening. Featuring one of …

Analyze This, directed by Harold Ramis is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for language, a scene of sexuality and some violence. The original release date was March 5, 1999 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Crime and stars Robert De …
Movie: Paul Blart Mall Cop

What I liked about this movie: Kevin James is actually pretty funny as Blart, a mall cop who is considered a loser by everyone from the people he works …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow movie
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of the best of J.k. Rowling’s seven series. The last series answers all of the un-answered question from the previous series. The movie is no doubt one of history’s best movie. I was whoo and whoa by it and it was …
Driving Miss Daisy (movie)
One of those movies that I had always heard people talking about but I never got to watch was “Driving Miss Daisy”, and so of course I always knew I had to see it whenever I had the chance to. I didn’t actually know what it was supposed to …
The Jacket (2005 movie)
This is a very confusing thriller if you don’t pay close attention to detail. It also shows what could happen in a mental institution that has a lack of morality and responsibility. This movie shows what happens to one such patient. He is convicted under cause of insanity for …
