A walk to Remember
I’d watched this movie when I was in college together with my college friends.
A very touching and heartwarming story.And I could watch it over and over again. I have to admit I shed tears watching this sad,sweet story of Landon and Jamie..My best movie of all time..
This is …
Babel (Film)
Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …
Stalag 17 movie
Stalag 17 is another classic picture which deals with World War II. This movie actually was the impetus for the Hogan’s Heroes TV series, though the movie is definitely a drama and not a comedy. William Holden excels as the American prisoner that is very much disliked …

The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
A Smoky Mountain Christmas movie

In the smoky mountains, Lorna Davis (Parton) discovers a group of children …
Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
Noah’s Ark (1999)
With all due respect to Mr. John Voight and Miss Mary Steenburgen I like them both because they are very good actor and actress. I never doubted their talents after all these years I have watched their movies; however, I really did not like one of the movies …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Lower City (R, 2005) movie
First and foremost I must say that you should enjoy foreign films (at least to a certain extent) before viewing this movie. Secondly, I should say that if you have seen “City of God” then you will probably enjoy this movie. And third, I must say that …
Thr3e movie
Have any of you heard that a movie is out based on Ted Dekker’s Christian novel “Thr3e”? I didn’t think so. For some reason, Christian movies aren’t advertised wide enough, and this new 2007 release by FoxFaith is no exception. Besides, it was only played in some theaters, and …

Used Cars
Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.

Wanted Movie
I was excited to see this movie. I was a bit disappointed when I finally watched it. I expected more action from it. There was actually some, but I am not contented. The plot itself is thin and the story is typical. The first few minutes were exciting but …
The Brave One (R, 2007)
Of all the Jodie Foster films I have seen recently, this one was the most interesting—¦ but quite a departure from the kinds of films I’ve seen her in. The Brave One features Jodie in the lead role as a fiancée whose lover is killed in Central …

From 1992, Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn delight in Housesitter, a really fun comedy about a woman who moves into a man’s house and assumes the role as his wife, much to his surprise when he shows up back in his hometown.
Hawn is a hoot as Gwen Phillips, who …
Film Basket Case
Considered by some to be one of the sickest films ever made, director/writer Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case is also very inventive, scary, gruesome, touching, funny and disturbing cult films ever made against the most spindly of shoestring budgets.
Brining a wicker basket with him to Manhatten, Duane (Kevin Han Hentenryck) …
Superman Returns (2006)
For the first time, I was very enthusiasm about this movie because I always love Superman. To be honest, one thing that makes me attracted the most is The Hot Brandon Routh because he is so handsome and I believe, many women have the same opinion with me.
As shown …

Back To The Future
Everyone wishes they could go back in time to straighten out family disfunctions. But as this movie shows, if you aren’t too careful, things could turn out worse than before.

Spiderman
Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …
Misery
Misery is a movie I will never forget, and that will always scare me. The funny thing about this movie is that it is not about a demon monster, or evil ghosts. It’s not about vampires or aliens either. No the villian in this movie is a woman. But not …

Sisters of the Gion
Early film by Kenji Mizoguchi, even if it isn’t silent. Tells the story of geisha women in 17th century Japan. The whole narrative and style of the film is founded in realism and I believe it has been somewhat influential on later filmmakers. However, the film is no more …

The Taking of Pelham 123 movie
SPOILER ALERT! Do not read this review if you haven’t viewed the film and plan on seeing it anytime soon.
Saw this film last week and I thought it was ok. It’s pretty much like all the other hostage taker - negotiator type films before it. Here, John …
