Vicky Cristina Barcelona
The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …
Waitress - (starring Keri Russell)
This movie that I have watched before, Waitress, starring Keri Russell, is a very powerful and sweeping story. Do not underestimate the contents of it because it has lots of morale values that we can at one point or another learn.
Keri acted as Jenna and she is …

The Matrix Reloaded movie
The Matrix Reloaded is the second installment in the Matrix trilogy. To be honest, I do not think I enjoyed it as much as the first one. It seems like some of the excitement died out, or maybe there was just so much fuzz about the start …
Home Alone movie
The original and still the best. This side-splitting comedy tells the tale of a kid who thought he had wished his family away. Enjoying his spoils he indulges his child-like appetite like only a kid can. Meanwhile, two buglars are rampaging through the neighborhood stealing all in their path …
Harold and Maude movie
Harold and Maude is an odd film by Hal Ashby. Harold is a lonely young man who scares the hell out of his mother with practical jokes with the intention of making her believe he committed suicide. The mother is keen on finding a woman for Harold, but he …
Alice in Wonderland 1951 Movie
Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …
Premonition
Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …
D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)
D2: The Mighty Ducks is the 2nd installment of the Mighty Ducks trilogy. The movie starts off with Coach Bombay (Emilio Estevez) getting injured in minor league hockey after being close to making it to the majors. He is then forced to return to Minneapolis to work in the …
Barney and friends CD
This is a wonderful cd where Barney, the purple dinosour and his friend, baby Bop and BJ teaches little children on how to play safe. They share lessons with the kids about safety rules for playgrounds and parks, while still having fun. Also in this CD the pretend …
The Reader movie
The reader is an Oscar winning movie. It released a bit late in my country and when it was released, I decided to see it on the very first day itself.
This film is unique in terms of showing the side of a German who was directly involved in the …
Little Miss Sunshine movie
I first heard about this movie at the Oscars. Alot of the actors in it were nominated for an Oscar award so I told myself it must be a good movie. So I rented a copy and immediately watched it. I liked it very much. Little Miss Sunshine is …
The Devil Wears Prada
I can watch The Devil Wears Prada 10 times in a row and still not get bored over the DVD. I have one at home and I love watching it each time whenever I have a special time at home, away from work and not going out with …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …

Miracle movie
In another review for the made-for-TV movie, “Miracle on Ice”, I said I don’t like hockey, and the truth is that I don’t. Yet, over a decade later, I still love the story of the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team and how they marched their way towards gold, …
Columbo: Murder with Too Many Notes movie
In Columbo: Murder with Too Many Notes, Billy Connolly guest stars as musical composer Findlay Crawford with Chad Willett playing his young ‘ghost’ composer, Gabriel McEnery. Gabriel is tired of not getting his due after five years of ‘ghosting’ the musical scores. When he threatens to let …
A Cinderella Story
“A Cinderella Story” is a cute Hilary Duff movie. It can be best described as a Cinderella story based in today’s day and time.
The film narrates the story of senior high school student, Sam Montgomery (Duff) who meets the love of her life online. When she suddenly realises …
Pretty Woman
I think there are two great all time romantic movies Gone with the Wind and Pretty Woman. How did a movie created in 1990 managed to be as successful as the very much renewed 1930’s classic movie? Simply - great actors, script, filming and director. This is …
The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2
The sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 is a movie based on the last two books in the sisterhood but the movie does not follow the story line of the books. I absolutely hate when a movie based on a book goes all out of order. What confused me …
Event Horizon movie
Paul W.S. Anderson brings us one of his best cinematic efforts with Event Horizon, an original science fiction horror.
Sam Neill leads the cast as Dr. Weir, a scientist who in the not so distant future creates a revolutionary device which allows for swift interstellar travel. His creation; the ship …
Lock, Stock and Two Barrels
What would you do if you were a film director and wanted to find a good actor to interpret a street vendor? You choose an ex-black market salesman and ask him to act in a movie. If this is not the answer you would have said, at least this …
North & South movie
Ah (Sigh!), North & South. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. That would actually be saying a lot considering that first, I haven’t seen one (a beautiful movie, that is) in such a long time; and second, I rarely dub a movie as beautiful if …
Star Trek The Motion Picture movie
This is the first entry in what was to become a very long and hugely successful series of Star Trek films starring the cast from the 1960s TV shows. As such, I think that any Star Trek fan will want to watch it, but perhaps not all that many …
Redbox DVD rent
There is really new technology being put to use in our Wal-marts here locally in Paducah KY and involves being able to rent DVD through kiosk like machine using a credit card. It is called a Redbox and it cost only $1.00 to rent a DVD movie for 1 …
The Sting (1973)
“The Sting” is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever watched. I was taken in again and again as Paul Newman and his gang of con artists conned me and other members of the audience. The worse thing about it is that I can’t be fooled again when …
Jungle 2 Jungle
This movie stars Tim Allen as Michael Cromwell. It is a hilarious movie about a man who is a stock broker in New York who goes to the Amazon to sign divorce papers from his wife. What he does not expect is to find out he has a 13 …
The Pink Panther movie
The genius comedian Peter Sellers here appears in his probably most beloved role as the police inspector Clouseau, who has a very funny accent and naive approach to everything. His mission is to find to evil Phantom, a jewelry thief. Certain traces lead Clouseau to Switzerland and a wealthy …
Ali-Will Smith
I enjoyed this movie so much because it was a great learning experience for me. Muhammad Ali was always a name I was familiar with but did not know alot about. I decided to watch this film because I am a fan of Will Smith and was curious about …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …
At First Sight (1999)
At First Sight, directed by Irwin Winkler is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for scenes involving sexuality and nudity, and for brief strong language. The original release date for this movie was January 15, 1999 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre …
Sally Field
Sally Field is an amazing American actress. She began her career in The Flying Nun, an old television series about a young nun who could fly (this was due to her habit, not wings!). Sally Field has also starred in such wonderful films as Norma Rae, Sybil, Places In …
My Best Friend’s Girl
I find this movie witty, funny but if only those some rude words or lewd could be ignored or totally deleted from the scenes, I would label this as a very user-friendly or a clean family and date movie. I love Kate Hudson’s acting; always have and I find …
Movie Messengers
I loved watching this movie, although it reminded me a little of amytville horror. It was an overall amazing movie. It’s the kind of thriller I love to watch. There were no gory parts in it and the movie was played out well, it had a good story to …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I took some time to think whether to review The 40-Year-Old Virgin or not. It has been many years before that I’ve watched this but each time I’m thinking of whether to review this, I think again. Truth is, Steve Carell sizzles in this movie and is very …
Blood Diamond
I am quiet aware that this movie was released last year but i really love this movie! I watched it about 10 times. I could see your expression now, one of amazement 10 TIMES, yes 10 times.
The reason why i liked the movie son much because it opened up …
Quickflix Online Movie Rental Service
At first I must admit that I thought the whole concept of renting movies online and then waiting for the movie to come in the mail, watching it then sending it back idea sounded a little bit stupid and very gimmicky. However, fairly recently I have had a problem …
House on Haunted Hill Movie
The original House on Haunted Hill was a movie that I’ve wanted to see for a long time. I’m actually a big fan of the remake and I think Vincent Price was a phenomenal actor, but I just never got around to seeing the original movie. The original has …
Stuart Bliss movie
Description
Stuart Bliss is a movie about a guy who has much going for him but hes also going insane.
My Thoughts About Stuart Bliss
The thing that surprises me is how passive Stuart Bliss is about the hallucinations hes having. He doesn’t even hardly mention anything about it to people nor …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear
Some time ago, I heard about the movie “The Librarian” and didn’t think much of it. I figured, at most, it would be a rip off of Indiana Jones and, without the great special effects and the star power of Harrison Ford, would prove to be lame.
I ended up …
The Rundown (2003 movie)
Wanting out of the life of being a “Retreival Expert”, Beck (The Rock) agrees to do a final job for his boss in return for his release…Beck wants to be a chef. Unfortunate for Beck, he has to go to the Amazon to get the boss’ son Travis (Sean …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
You Got Served Movie
This dance movie is the ultimate perfect movie for every street dancer out there. I have watched a lot of street dance movies with crews and all and even ones that mixed ballet and street dance together, but in my opinion this is still the best and ultimate street …
Three Amigos
It has been a while since I last saw the movie Three Amigos. And, while I remembered it being funny, I had my doubts that it was as funny as I remembered.
Tonight, I got to see it again. And, I have to admit, it is as funny as I …
Just Friends film
Typically, when you try to turn a love story into a comedy, it turns out to be funny. But, in the case of Just Friends, it’s just pathetic.
Ryan Reynolds plays Chris Brander, an formerly overweight high school student who, 10 years later tries to win the love of his …
Dallas Buyers Club (2013 - biographical drama movie)
Dallas Buyers Club is one of those movies that is a career builder. Specifically, it is a career builder for the two main actors in the film - Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both of these actors each get in the film a lifetime opportunity that any actors would kill …
