I like this movie although I saw it few years ago. I thought it is usual, but for anyone who haven’t seen it yet, I can recommend it.
Starring Richard Gere, who portrayed the role of Edward Sumner, a good husband and family man.

Movie: The Wizard of Oz
We didn’t really plan on watching any movies tonight as a family; mainly because we plan on going to church in the morning and wanted the kids in bed early. However, shortly before bed time, the movie Wizard of Oz came on. And, even though it wasn’t planned, I …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
The Bucket List
It is hard to make a comedy where your main premise centers around two men who are dying of cancer. Still, they tried with The Bucket List.
Not only did they try, but they kind of succeeded. Both leads, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, play characters …
Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …
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 …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
Wi-heom-han gyan-gye (Dangerous Liaisons) movie
By and large, in Asian cinema, you can attempt to make a dramatic romance by either appealing to a localized sense of humour than might make it seem more uplifting, or you can pursue an angle popularized by Wong Kar Wai and heighten the drama using boiling stifled passion …

Baccano! Is a Japanese anime that tells the story about a group of individuals riding on a commuter train, the Flying Pussyfoot. It’s a train traveling from Chicago to New York in 1932. The story is about a huge gang war that is brewing between the …
“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …
A League of Their Own Movie
For the longest time, A League of their Own was one of my favorite films, but it eventually took a back-burner seat to many of modern-day films. Yet, it has remained a past favorite that I still enjoyable to watch every now and then. I will be the first to …
Movie: Chloe
Synopsis: A wife hires a prostitute to seduce her husband so she can prove he is unfaithful.

Dr. Alien movie
Wesley goes to High School, just any ordinary school where nothing exciting ever happens. One day there is a new biology teacher who involves Wesley in a strange experiment that makes all girls attracted to him.
This is a rather stupid and a bit sick High School comedy that doesn’t …
The Man from Earth - 2007 - by Jerome Bixby
This is a truly a great film from start to finish. If you like fast action movies, this is not for you, it takes place in a two room studio and the drama comes from the sharp dialogue rather than the scenery.
The title does not provide …
Knocked Up
When I saw the previews to the movie Knocked Up, I thought it would be hilarious. In fact, I had a couple friends tell me they watched it and were laughing throughout.
After watching it last night, I can say I was seriously disappointed by it.
I will start out …
Vanished (movie)
If you�re a big fan of the television show Cold Case, then you may want to consider renting the movie Vanished if you haven�t seen it yet.
While the script leaves quite a bit to be desired, the movie and the intrigue it creates isn�t too bad. It�s not great, …
Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …
21 Jump Street starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill (2012 Movie)

K-9 (1989)
Similar to that of the movie Turner and Hooch, pairs the human element and the animal element into a movie to try to get a favorable response by the animal lover in most people. I have noticed that everything has its time in the spotlight and every genre is …
Horror Express movie
I actually heard about this movie by accident, when I was surfing the net. I didn’t know that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee had starred in a film together until I heard about “HOrror Express”, and I found the concept of the two actors working with each other to …
Joe’s Apartment movie
I wonder what the creators of this movie were thinking. Apparently, they were not thinking at all. A college graduate moves from Iowa to New York and, being short on cash, looks for a cheap apartment. He finds one, and soon finds out why it’s so cheap: it is …
Underworld: Evolution
Underworld Evolution revisits the lady vampire that Kate Beckinsale plays in the film. Also, her half wereworlf, half vampire boyfriend who is like the superman of the dark underworld. This is one of the few sequels I’ve seen which I liked better than the original. I thought it was …
Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …
The Thrill of It All movie
This is another of my very top favorite Doris Day films, and it co-stars James Garner. These two make a great film pair, and I wish they’d done more than this movie and Move Over, Darling.
In this flick, Day stars as Beverly Boyer, happy housewife and mother. …

Pan’s Labyrinth
Pan’s Labyrinth is a very, very interesting story set in a war-fare era. I can�t remember the era, but the story is in a foreign language, and it is a beautiful language of German, Spanish or French, I am not pretty sure.
I think that the Director of this …
The Number 23 movie

Jim Carrey (Walter Sparrow/Fingerling), Virginia Madsen (Agatha Sparrow/Fabrizia), Logan Lerman (Robin Sparrow), Danny Huston (Issac French/Dr Miles),

Unstoppable (movie)
I watched this movie a few Saturdays ago with two other members of my family, and even though I thought it could have been a little better, it certainly surpassed my expectations of what it might have been like. Based on the ads of it that I saw on …
Friday the 13th Part 5
I think one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when you have a gorgeous blonde who is trying to hook up with a goofy, balding man. Every time I see the movie, I start laughing. I realize that it is supposed to be a small town, but …
Toy Story 2
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Toy Story 2. Like most sequels, this movie isn’t as good as the original Toy Story, but it is still clever and good. Buzz and Woody are buddies in this film. There is a new puppy in the picture, and it …
The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …
Set It Off film
Four young black women disillusioned and down on their luck, begin robbing banks to make their way out of the ghetto and move onto better things.
The story of amateur crooks trying to make their way in the criminal underworld is hardly a new thing; and this film is …
300 (movie)
This was definitely a man’s movie. Rocky with a sword times three hundred. It was over the top, overflowing with testosterone both in the battlefield and at home. It reminded me a lot of Gladiator, with just a darker feel to it. The way it was filmed was very …
Bug
I really get the wrong idea when I first watch Bug. I thought it is some kind of a horror movie or something, but when in the end I realized that this story is something like the genre of ‘art movie’, displaying about life, people and their characters, …

Lost Boys: The Tribe, vampire horror film by P. J. Pesce
It took over twenty years for a sequel to be made for the Lost Boys, one of the best vampire movies of our time. Instead of getting the proper wide theatrical release it deserved this movie was released on every format on video. Does this aspect of the movie …
Julie & Julia movie
I am great fan of the actress Meryl Streep and Nora Ephran movies. ‘Julie & Julia’ brings these two talented woman working together in a very special movie for both of them.
I believe that ‘Julie & Julia’ represented a different type of movie for the director Nora Ephran …
Role Models
Role Models made me laugh like crazy. I watched with a group of friends and we were basically just making a “wild guess” that this movie is going to work out. We were actually wanting to watch another movie show, but this one was available so it was …
A beautiful mind film
A beautiful mind is a great movie and it deserved all the academy awards it got. It is one of those movies which leaves the viewer with a little pain after watching the movie. Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly starred in this classic movie and Russell Crowe is at …
