Hannibal Rising
When I heard they were making a movie about how Hannibal Lecter became a cannibal, I was both excited but skeptical. The plot in Hannibal Rising sounded promising but I didn’t think it was a Hannibal movie without Anthony Hopkins playing the starring role.
Overall though, after watching the film, …

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie came out this past year and it was wonderful! It is my favorite movie of the Harry Potter movies so far! The acting was great and so were the settings and scenes! The fourth book is huge and they were able …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
Fury (2014 Film)
Fury is the story of a tank crew going up against a small German army (marginally outnumbering them) at the tip top end of WWII. The film features Brad Pitt as the lead and a sprinkle of lesser known actors as the sides who perform well enough to hold …
Diary of a Mad Black Woman

He’s Just not that into you movie
I rented the movie “He’s just not that into you” from blockbuster about a week ago. I watched it as soon as I received it in the mailbox. Overall I enjoyed the movie because it was different than other chick flicks. I must admit that the movie got a …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …

Ocean’s Thirteen

The LEGO Movie (2014)
When my kids first heard about the LEGO Movie it was all they would talk about for weeks. I have to admit that even though I tried to act cool about it, I was pretty excited too. This movie had an all-star cast with everyone from Morgan Freeman to …

When Love Begins movie
Last year 2008 my girlfriend asked me to join her in watching When Love Begins. I knew that it was going to be another chick-flick, feel-good movie wherein you have a fairy tale ending. But being the nice boyfriend that I was, not to mention sweet, I agreed. Turns out …

Yes Man (2008)
I’ve seen this movie last week, with some friends in the local multiplex. Well, this one, is probably one of those movies you watch and enjoy while watching it, and you forget the moment the credits start to roll. There isn’t anything much, or memorable about this movie (well, …

Playboy Wet & Wild: Bottoms up
I will never forget my 18th birthday when I was finally allowed to see adult movies. I had always wanted to see some hot babes take it all off. And the first ever Playboy video I rented was Playboy’s Wet N Wild: Bottoms Up. I was very excited …
Thr Princess Diaries 2 movie

Johnny English Reborn (Movie)

“Hooligans” movie
Football is a predominantly male affair. Fighting pseudo-fans it’s practically the only guy thing. Thus, in theory, for making a film on this subject should take a representative of sex ugly. And what if woman decides to tell us the story of hooligans ? Such is the case, “Hooligans”, …
Seeker:The Dark Is Rising
I went to see this movie this afternoon and was told it was a five star movie. At first, the movie started out kind of confusing to me. The boy, who is the “hero”, was with a family that I wasn’t even sure was his own. Plus, were they …

Dark Ride movie
Cast: Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Cathy), Patrick Renna (Bill), David Clayton Rogers (Steve), Alex Solowitz (Jim), Andrea Bogart (Jen), Jennifer Tiisdale (Liz), Dave Warden (Jonah)
This has got to be one of the most inane movies I’ve ever seen. So maddening that I was hoping the murderer would do …
Paris When It Sizzles: A film by Richard Quine (1964)
In my fascination to the whole 60’s period, there couldn’t be a more concrete illustration of what it’s like to live in those days, other than movies created at that time. My own definition of a good time spent in front of the screen —“ is a combination …
Movie The Game Plan
If any of you like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, then you have probably seen “The Game Plan”. My husband loves the Rock and watches all of his movies. I think he’s an ok actor, but I really think he did a good job in the movie “The …

Cinderella Man
This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …
Duplex movie
I thought the movie Duplex was one of the most hilarious Ben Stiller movies I remember seeing. I did not even expect it to be so funny before I saw it either and I would normally pick up whether a comedy film is going to be funny as soon …
Midnight Lace movie
In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …
Salam-E-Ishq Sensible Movie
Salam-E-Ishq is a nicely directed movie by Nikhil Advani. Movie depicts the life of six couples through different perspectives. The star cast of movie is great.

Gorgeous movie
I only hear about the movie “Gorgeous” recently. It is not to be confused with the American film “Drop Dead Gorgeous” though as this one was actually a Chinese Romance Comedy film that was released in the late nineties starring Jackie Chan. However, that does not mean that it …
The Shop on Main Street
The greatness of East European cinema I guess need no further introduction. The Shop on Main Street is in my own humble opinion the greatest of all masterpieces coming out that area, directed by rather unkown Hungarians Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos.
As with many powerful movies of the mid-twentieth …
Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone

Jumper Movie
I decided to reserve judgment against the movie Jumper until I had seen it for myself. Some of my friends saw the movie and loved it, while those who had the same taste as me in movies didn’t like it at all. I had a few chances to see …
Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.
In “Love Wrecked” we see Amanda Bynes interpret the role of Jenny Riley who is totally crazy about a famous and popular rock star, Jason Master. …
THE ISLAND MOVIE DVD
I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode 1
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a franchise reboot of the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime that came out in 2003-2004. While the original anime deviated from the manga story in the middle of the show because the manga was not finished, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood follows the manga story line much …
The Road (John Hillcoat, 2010) movie
This is one of those movies that I would rate pretty highly, but can’t actually recommend. You would recommend a film by saying something like “Yeh, it’s great - go see it.” or ‘Yeh, it’s really funny” or “Yeh, it’s really romantic and sweet” etc etc.
For The Road I …
The Exorcist, movie
I still find the “Exorcist” scary, and it won’t matter how old I get, how many times I see it, or who I’m with when I watch it, It will always petrify me. The story holds up well among similar films, and time has been kind to the movie …
Irreconcilable Differences
Irreconcilable Differences with Ryan O’Neal, Shelley Long, Sharon Stone, and Drew Barrymore.
I had heard so much about this movie’s quality that I longed to see it for the first time. It will be the last time. The movie is the enactment of the recollections …
