Recently I have been going through some movies on a blog that a person listed as the funniest movies that they had seen that were released within the past two years. Well, the movie “I Love You, Phillip Morris” was one of them, and I only got to see …

I was waiting for New Year’s Eve and to pass time I had a movie marathon all by myself. The last movie I watched was Camp Rock because I had no other choice. It’s an original Disney Channel movie starring Demi Lovato as a teenager who went to her …

Well, I wasn’t sure if my daughter would like an Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoon; let along one that would have a scary monster like Frankenstein’s Monster. But, she obviously is a huge fan of the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein because she’s watched the DVD probably …

Synopsis: An underachiever and his friend join the US Army and, not wanting to be in combat, sign up for water detail; only to find they will be responsible for saving the lives of hundreds.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not a huge Paulie Shore fan. But, I …

The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a rather well known motion picture from 1952 that starred Gregory Peck as Harry Street, Susan Hayward as Helen, and Ava Gardner as Cynthia Green. Also in the film is The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’s Leo G. Carroll as Uncle Bill. I actually …

I was curious about the romance drama film The lifeguard, when stumbling across it on the internet movie database website. I was intrigued by the cast list and the controversial storyline. I figured since Kristen Bell was the lead role, the movie would be pretty good since she is a …

A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …

Ok, has a movie ever had a title that told you everything you wanted to know about the film’s contents like this one?
Here’s the rundown. Waldemar is back and he ain’t paying attention to the continuity of the previous films. He’s in Victorian England and cursed to be a …

X-Men was an excellent movie if you went with no expectations and had never seen the cartoon or read the comic. However, they changed a lot from both comic and show in the movie and after seeing the movie for the first time, I was infuriated at how they …

I like to watch movies a lot, that is one of our favorite pastimes. One of my favorite actors is Richared Gere. He played this characther John Klien in the Mothman Prophecies.
John lost his wife in an accident and he is haunted by her memory. He …

One of the most disappointing movies of the year, Fast and Furious 4 was a flat, uninteresting film. I was dismayed that even the actors came out flat here. It came off like a bad “made for TV” low budget movie. There are no twists or events …

1984’s Grandview USA stars Patrick Swayze and Jamie Lee Curtis as high school friends who discover love many years later. Surprisingly, Swayze and Curtis do well together. It’s not a pair I would normally think of, but they work for the way in which their characters are …

Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

Those of you who enjoyed watching “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin will probably find it interesting to see this older version of the same story, filmed in 1950. Do not expect the same thrill though; watching this movie is more like going to a museum: educational …

“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …

Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …

Nosferatu is such a cool, classic movie. We are talking black and white, 1929, horror at its best. Nosteratu, if you don’t know, is a vampire. He’s a Dracula, but not Dracula. Nosferatu is a silent film and what is so very cool about it is the looks, the …

I’ve seen many bad movies lately. When I got to see “Somewhere” even if it was a movie for what I have waited a long time. I watched it from inertia. But the movie got me on the wrong foot.
Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff) is a famous action …

In 1953, Twentieth Century-Fox released the marvelous musical, Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor, and Vera-Ellen. It’s high-powered, high-energy, and high-five fun. I love these kind of innocent musicals where the story is lighthearted and the songs merry. Oh, there’s some heartbreak and drama …

The Color Purple (1985) was a great film which was both melancholy and sentimental that was taken from the 1983 Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning book which was written by Alice Walker. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and co-written by Alice Walkeras well. This story centered …

Although it is, in my opinion, a chick-flick, “My Life in Ruins” is a great, light-hearted movie, and if you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” then you will be sure to enjoy this movie. The writing and acting will not be recognized at the Oscars next year, but …

The first big live-action movie musical for Disney Studios was a film called “The Happiest Millionaire”. As a young girl, I’d heard about this movie, and I was dying to see it. When it opened in town, it was only at the drive-in, and my parents didn’t …

Night Watch is a movie I saw going on recently when I was at someone’s house watching television. At first I had mistaken it for a movie from the 80s I had seen going on several times, but after a while I realised that it was actually a movie …

I am a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson, so I just had to see this film. I’m so glad I did, because it offered me a lasting glimpse of the superstar during his last days on earth.
I know all of Michael Jackson’s songs, especially the …

Walking with monsters: before the dinosaurs, is a fascinating documentary. It is divided into three sections, each one covering a different time period. Each half-hour documentary showcases creatures that lived many years before the dinosaurs evolved. The show was fascinating, absolutely riveting. I like it better than …

This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …

After watching the first “Iron Man”, I knew that I would have to watch the second one, which came out in 2010. “Iron Man 2” was not only as well acted and plotted out as the first one, but delivered an even more powerful character conflict and a very …

Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …

Match Point is a 2005 movie from writer and director Woody Allen. I am always more excited about a new Woody Allen film if he is in it because I love to see him delivering his own lines but someone recommended this to me and I must admit …

A classic movie was the Godfather, it was made in the early 1970’s and still has a power over audiences even today. It is one of those movies that will stand the test of time
Marlon Brando played Vito Corleone the patriacrh and GOdfather of the COrleone crime family. …

To me, Iron Man is one of the top five comic book movies ever made, right up there with Superman I, Spider-man 2, and the Dark Knight. Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark and is the best “alter ego” of any of the super hero movie actors. …

Man! I bet Scott Smith is one disappointed writer! ‘The Ruins’, published by Vintage books and called “The best horror novel of the new century” by Stephen King was only Scott Smith’s second novel and BAM! It shot up on the New York Times Best Seller list and was …

Land of the Dead is the fourth zombie film directed by the master of zombies, George A. Romero. I am not overly familiar with Romero’s previous movies to be honest. My favourite all time zombie movie is Return of the Living Dead which has a lot of …

There seems to be a trend happening in Hi-Def releases. I guess it’s more to entice people to buy movies they already own, but I’ve noticed that studios are releasing Trilogies bundled with very little added special content. Yeah, I guess they’ve been doing this with plain old DVD. …

I am reviewing the 2007 movie, In the Valley of Elah, starring Tommy Lee Jones. The movie focuses on Hank Deerfield, the father of an American soldier gone missing in Iraq. Throughout the course of the film, Hank desperately tries to piece together what happened to his son, Mike. …

“Hocus Pocus” was possibly one of the most popular and well made Disney original movies I ever remember watching from when I was a child to now that I’m an adult. One might recognize a few famous faces in it too such as Sarah Jessica Parker the actress who …

The movie MASH is a classic and has only been outdone by the television series that spun off from it. It’s one of the best war movies ever made.
The movie has just the right amount of comedy and drama to be enjoyable to everyone who watches it, both young …

This movie is based on a game of the same name, and whether that is a good or bad thing is totally up to who is going to watch it. I jumped on the band wagon and opted to go for it and take a chance that this movie …

Plain Truth is a phenomenal movie based on the novel written by Jodi Picoult. It was aired on Lifetime TV. It grabs your attention within the first 5 minutes, and holds your attention throughout.
The basis of the movie is an Amish girl that has a baby that is …

Sean Connery’s James Bond takes a vacation from his usual European hot stops and turns native in this movie set in Japan. It doesn’t have the elements that made movies like “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball” great, but it isn’t a bad entry into the film series.
I’m a fan of James …

Philadelphia is a movie about a man who discovers that he has AIDS. Tom Hanks plays Andrew, a high powered attorney who gets fired when he reveals that he is sick. That is the first part of the movie and it stinks that this happened to Andrew. That is …
