Battlefield Earth
My husband loves this flick, but I do everything possible to wrestle the remote whenever he plays this movie.
“Battlefield Earth” is based on a book created by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. It’s about the Earth being taken over by a barbaric bunch of alien thugs- …
40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …
The 40 Year Old Virgin movie
The 40 Year Old Virgin was surprisingly good. I thought it might be just a dumb comedy, but it was a comedy with heart and some intelligence. Steve Carrell plays the titular character without become a caricature. Sure he does some nerdy things like collect huge …
Princess Mononoke (US Version)
Awesome, spectacular and breathtaking…a wonderful piece of animation and a dark human twist. From the start of this film it shows off its use of excellent animation of the demon boar. The artwork in this film is killer. Words cannot explain the sheer brilliance taken in the creation of …
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN DVD
I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …
Little Women movie
Little Women is a very well directed drama movie. The movie stars Winona Ryder, Gabriel Byrne, Christian Bale, Trini Alvarado, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst and Susan Sarandon in the main roles.

I, Robot
This movie is about the future, where there are robots. Will Smith is the main character in the movie. I think he does an amazing job in the movie and wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t in it. I really enjoyed watching the movie and it kept …
Splice Movie (2009)
She’s hot!
She’s dangerous!
And…She’s not ENTIRELY human!
Her name is Dren. She is the product of an experiment that went beyond ethical standards. Her creators, Elsa and Clive, mixed human genes with that of several other genes from other animals, thereby creating a new specie unbeknown to human kind. At the first …
Hound of the Baskervilles
I loved the book Hound of the Baskervilles when I first read it but never got a chance to see the movie based on the book until this weekend, when it was airing on one of our movie channels.
You know what? The book is a heck of a lot …
Hocus Pocus
Wicked fun or magic fun..? This movie, Hocus Pocus is really awesome and I have enjoyed watching it very much. It is basically about 3 witches trying to ’survive’ and live on. I don’t encourage nor support witchcraft acts but this story pokes fun at witchcraft and …
Clash Of the titans
In my opinion Clash of the titans is not all it is hyped up to be by all the reviews, it didn’t seem as enticing as most action/adventure movies seem to be. It is about mythology so you would expect there to be a lot of fighting, also it …

The Bank Job (2008 version)
Finally I got to watch the recent movie, “The Bank Job”. I must warn you be prepared to watch a great drama movie. This movie has got nothing to do with “The Bank Job” released last year and directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens. This movie is simply great.
I …
What Just Happened film
“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …
The Forbidden Kingdom, martial arts film
The director of the first two Stuart Little movies and the writer of The Babe are ready to bring you on a journey through ancient China. Instead of keeping things on a cliché level these two men, Rob Minkoff and John Fusco, are spicing things up just a little …

The Prince and Me Movie
This is one of my favorite films, it’s one of todays classic fairytale of an ordinary girl who meets a stunning handsome prince. It’s almost like Cinderella, but in a young adult version. I always like stories about fairytales and rags-to-riches stories.
Paige meets Eddie a charming Danish prince at …

Cannibal Holocaust
This is one of the most controversial movies of all time for its animal cruelty and scenes of extreme violence and realistic gore. The movie was released around 1980 and this could possibly be an excuse for some of the low quality and bad acting, but this goes beyond …
Frankie and Johnny movie
Where to start talking about this musical film, Frankie and Johnny? It’s a 1966 release that has a lot of singing Elvis Presley and, of all persons, Donna Douglas as his co-star. Douglas is best known as Elly May Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies. While I …

Prince of Persia (2010 Film)

The Skulls (Movie )
The Skulls is a movie I’ve seen a number of times over the years and I always have fond memories of it. When I saw it recently though, I couldn’t remember exactly why I liked it so much. I think the movie seems a little dated, even though it …

Prometheus 2012 Science Fiction Film
I will immediately reveal that I have given this film the rating of seven, and it should instantly make a statement about what I think of this movie. I think that this film is good, but not excellent.
I would like to make some comments about the production quality of …
Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
License to Wed

Film “The Bad Mother’s Handbook”
