I rented this movie mostly because of Sandra Bullock, she is always good. She was good here as well, although the character she plays, a homicide detective Cassie Mayweather, is somewhat unlikable. Cassie’s personality appears to have been permanently damaged by a brutal attack in the past, one that …

Recently I watched a Japanese animation cartoon director by Hayao Miyazaki called “Howl’s Moving Castle”. My younger brother is into these sorts of films and I have to admit that they are very intriguing and entertaining to watch as well, and Hayao Miyazaki is also an excellent director who …

I delayed watching the movie “300: Rise of an Empire” for two main reasons. The first was that I’d become very wary of sequels, since they generally don’t live up to the expectations of the viewer. The second reason was because I heard it wasn’t very good at all. After …

From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …

One of the most classic motion picture musicals is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a 1953 release that stars the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe. The blonde was the sensation of her day, and this movie is the equivalent to her theme song. Of course, it contains the song that is …

This is a great light hearted action flick. I love Chow Yun-Fat as an actor and he was wonderful in this movie. I enjoyed the mythical martial art stunts of the characters. It is based on a comic book about a Tibetan monk who starts to mentor a young …

I finally got to watch the third movie in the X-men trilogy, X-Men The Last Stand. Overall, it was a decent film, but it should have been called Wolverine’s big movie.
The movie promised all the characters from the first two films, and it delivered. However, many of the main …

Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave is a high tension, psychological thriller that unfortunately, tends to be overshadowed by his much more acclaimed Trainspotting. This is unfortunate, because in my opinion Shallow Grave is almost as fantastic as that film, and deserves the attention of more people.
The film follows three housemates; Alex, …

I watched this before, titled Rec and it was during 2007, I think. Pretty darn scary, if you ask me. Remember The Blair Witch Project..? Well, it is something like it, but different in a way.
You will get to see a recording or some sort …

This is a good, although dated, family movie that you can safely watch with your children without worrying about bad language, violence, or nudity. If your child is obsessed with horses, like I used to be when I was a kid, this movie will be a great choice.
Helen (Ellen …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …

Why “New York Minute” failed to inspire …

“View from the top” is an average movie about making your dreams comes true. It should convey a strong message of empowerment however the film is not that good. This is one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s movies and, may I say, not one of her best since it was a …

I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.

I absolutely loved Henry Winkler when he portrayed the Fonze on Happy Days. As a movie star, I think he’s OK in a supporting role. When it comes to carrying a movie, like he did in Night Shift, he’s just not that good.
The idea behind Night Shift was a …

I saw Foul Play years ago, when I was a child, and my mom brought it home for my sister and I to watch. We had enjoyed it then, particularly Dudley Moore, who we laughed at hysterically. I have since had the urge to watch it again. When I …

This is the second movie that came out after the first. Cheaper By The Dozen 2 is better than the first. I couldn’t stop laughing. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt once again play the Bakers and get themselves and their twelve kids into a ton of trouble when they …

A surprisingly funny and charming movie, “Ghost Town” tells the story of Bertram Pincus, an unpleasant dentist reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge. His attitude toward life: bah, humbug.

To be honest, I did not even know who Benzair Bhutto was until last year when I developed an interest in politics. After she was assassinated this past December, I wanted to know why people were in such a hurry to “do away” with her. I found a DVD …

Whoopi Goldberg plays multiple characters in this wise cracking tale of ‘if you can do it, so can I’. firstly she plays the character of Laurel Ayres, a career driven, smart woman who is trying to make a name for herself as a successful Wall Street broker. When she …

The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …

I tried to avoid watching this movie for a long time. I heard how they had mangled Deadpool who is one of my favorite comic book characters into an unrecognizable mess, and consequently I decided that I wouldn’t encourage this sort of thing by giving any of my …

Hell Boy with Ron Perlman and John Hurt.
This is another of those movies that brings life to a comic book personality, but it is more of an adventure than a satire. I did like this movie because it had a beginning, a middle, and …

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is the final movie in the Pirates trilogy. I was not very high on Dead Man’s Chest and was hoping At World’s End would reinvigorate my love I had for Pirates 1. However, what I got dissipated my love for …

Being a huge Alien and Predator fan, I had always wanted to see if a crossover movie could actually work between these two powerhouses. I remember a few years ago, before the plans for the current first AVP movie, hearing about how there were plans to make such a …

The new movie Avatar has been reviewed so many times, with opinions ranging from “masterpiece” to “unoriginal” and “nothing special.” Well, here is my take on it, after watching it in IMAX. The plot may not be very original. My husband said that Avatar reminded him of “Dances with …

First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …

I can only compare this 50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals from Mill Creek Entertainment to the company’s 100 Movie Pack Hollywood Classics, which I reviewed recently. One thing that is different is that the sleeves the DVDs come in are not as thick of material. They are …

I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …
