Here in Bellingham we are fortunate to have the best video store ever. Film is Truth located on Holly Street is absolutely the best adult video store ever. By adult I don’t mean that they rent dirty movies, but rather that they rent movies that will interest adults.

Paint Your Wagon
Last night, I watched Paint Your Wagon on the TCM network. I’ve seen the movie numerous times since it’s release, probably well over a hundred viewings. I recall that when the musical was released, I actually saw it in the theater a good thirty times. It’s …
X-men Origins: Wolverine
As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I had to watch it, because I was a child in the nineties and was interested in the x-men cartoons and the movies when they came out. I also thought that the trailers made the movie seem amazing and that …
Judge Dredd (1995)
I like futuristic films and this one Directed by Danny Canon is really a good one. It starred Sylvester Stallone as Judge Joseph Dredd and the beautiful Dianne Lane as Judge Hershey. This describes a kind of life as a result of earth getting almost totally intoxicated …
The Glass House Movie
This movie had a really nice title, and I thought it had something to do with the mansion that’s all made of glass and as I expected it was, and the owners here in the movie are actually Mr. Terry (Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane) who are …
Arabian Nights (1999 Film)
Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.
In this film, Scheherazade (played by Mili Avital) is trying desperately …

I know who killed me movie

Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman
While my daughter loved the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein, I don’t think she was a huge fan of the film Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman..
Of course, part of the problem could have been the fact the rented DVD was a bit scratched up 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 …
VeerZaara Hindi movie
Starring: Sharukh Khan,PreetyZinta,Rani mukhershi,Manoj vajpey,Amitabbachhan,Hema malini.
Everybody knows that VeerZara has won many awards. In my opinion all credit goes to the writer who has written such a nice and different love story. The central idea of this film is ‘Love is nothing but a Sacrifice’. I liked the …

The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I have read this book, faster than any other books I have read because this is one book that I really enjoy; it is very light in story, a bit shallow if you are a very deep person, and just is the kind of book that you read for …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
My Bloody Valentine 3D, The remake of the 1981 version by director George Mihalka, definitely is one worth seeing. Personally I think the 3D effect should be used in all horror films. 10 years after Harry Warden wakes up from a coma, he goes on a killing rampage know …

Away From Her
I am really in tears watching this movie. The tears meant that the movie works perfectly well for me. This movie is something that youngsters will not fancy, since it features the older generations. But, it tells me that one day I am going to be …
Happily N’Ever After
We all are familiar with Cinderella right? Well this is another version but a little of the spoof version as I may say.

Definitely, Maybe
We saw this movie yesterday. It was a cute movie, not the best I’ve ever seen, but definitely not the worst.

John Wick, Movie
I love revenge movies. They appeal to our baser instincts and when they’re done well they strike us at our emotional core. John Wick is a superb revenge flick that oozes style and menace.
From the outset this film makes its intentions very clear. It is light on dialogue and …
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Yet another summer horror flick from Lionsgate studios, ‘My Bloody Valentine’ is given the increasingly popular 3D treatment, and it works beautifully. The only drawback is that much of the film takes place in dark underground mining shafts and eerie wooded areas at night, which makes it difficult at …
The Host, movie
Whoever thought having the protagonist of a movie spend most of her time talking inside her own head for the better part of 2 hours and get away with it, was painstakingly wrong.
In The Host, another Stephenie Meyer adaptation for the big screen, we start out with Saoirse Ronan …
Eagle Eye
I just finished watching the movie Eagle Eye few days ago. I got the DVD from a friend of mine who told me it’s quite a good movie. After watching the movie, I must say I am not very impressed with it.
The story started in the Middle East region …
Film Sleepy Hollow
God bless him, Tim Burton has taken Irving Washington’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow and turned it into a first class horror movie and a beautiful romance too. I’ve always disliked the original tale because, despite his flaws, you care about Ichabod Crane and you want him to get the …
Movie: Godzilla: King of the Monsters

He talks to her about life, …

Movie The Enforcer
The Enforcer with Clint Eastwood and Tyne Daily.
Of the Dirty Harry series, I suppose that this sequel is the most tame. It deals with political correct issues and the gentler side of Inspector Harry Callahan. When the opening scene proved to be vintage …
Bridge to Terabithia
I watched Bridge to Terabithia ready to get bored and be repulsed with the little knowledge I have about the film. Thanks to false advertising (equivalent to the preview showing the CGI effects), my impression on the film beforehand was that it was going to be another-kiddy-fantasy knock-off.
Still, I …
Before Sunrise movie
The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Official Movie Trailer

The Screaming Woman,1972 movie
This movie is rather scary, although the plot may sound as if there is not much to it, especially at first. The beautiful Olivia de Havilland plays Laura Wynant, a recovering patient of a mental hospital who returns home. All she needs is peace, quiet, and rest; what she …
Memoirs of a Geisha Movie
Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …
Twilight Movie
I rented the Twilight movie finally yesterday to watch it and see what all the hype was about. I have read the book so I knew the plot line already. I was mostly watching to see how they took the story to the big screen.
The first thing …
Matrix the movie

The first part is full of the very memorable scenes like that one with …
Material Girls
“Material Girls” is the movie where we see Hilary Duff together with her sister, Haylie for the first time on big screen. I must admit that they make a cute duo as they try to put their heads together while their lives fall apart!
The story of “Material Girls” is …
World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
There Will be Blood
There Will be Blood is tells the story of all of the things, good and bad, that come with power. This power stemming mainly from one product, oil. Daniel Day Lewis is absolutely electrifying in his role as the prospector and main character. He is deserved …

I like watching movies starring the actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan sometimes, but I never heard of the movie City Hunter until some time recently. It was actually supposed to be based on a Japanese manga of the same name, and when I got to watch it, …
Leap Year movie
I’m pretty sure Leap Year is in my top five favorites for movies. Leap Year is an awesome movie that I’ve watched over and over and over. It’s just one of those movies that you don’t get tired of. Of course, it’s a total love story, so maybe that’s …
Disney Pixar Movie CARS
