Hi De Ho movie
As the name might indicated, Hi De Ho is a Cab Calloway feature. The 1937 film has the famous bandleader belting out his special Hi De Ho song with a zing.
However, there is a disturbing nuance in the opening. We have Cab singing to a woman named …

Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek is a very good thriller movie starring Robert De Niro and Dakota fanning. I am an avid fan of Robert De Niro’s movies and have been watching his movies for many years. Though I watched this movie purely for Robert De Niro, I was surprised by …
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 …
Roman Holiday movie
Like the Prince and me that’s similar to the 1950’s classic a Roman Holiday, this time it’s guy meets princess. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and two of the greatest screen couples in film history.
Audrey Hepburn as princess Ann …
Movie “The Mist”
I adore a movie that leaves me shaking. Any film that you watch and walk away with mentally disturbed by the plot and not because they went with a cheap method of offending you is a real gem. Lots of movies go ahead and kill off the …
Movie: Iron Man 2
When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.
When they came out with the sequel, Iron Man 2, I once again figured it would be a movie …

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra
I don’t know why the critics are always so picky about summer blockbusters like GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. They love to criticize these movies to death, and they don’t even realize that these movies are based on Hasbro toys! Wake up, critics, we don’t watch these kinds …
NETFLIX
When my husband and I joined Netflix last month, we thought it was going to be great. We chose a plan in which we can rent unlimited movies per month, but we can only get two at a time. Well, we found out pretty quickly that this is how …

Rumor Has It movie
I had doubts when I rented another Jennifer Aniston movie, since she tends to be hit or miss. But, I was very surprised at how funny Rumor Has It was.
Anniston is great as a woman who is on the verge of a breakdown after finding out her family is …
Walk Don’t Run movie
One of the movies I always enjoy watching is Cary Grant’s last film, Walk Don’t Run, from 1966. Grant was such a wonderful talent. I really regret that he felt like his fans wouldn’t want to see him as a non-romantic lead in a movie. I …
Wall-E
I quickly became a fan of the movie Finding Nemo shortly after Pixar released it. I not only liked the story but fell in love with the characters. I don’t know how many times I watched it. I must have watched enough to memorize most of its quotes. I …
Looney Toons: Back in Action- the movie
I sometimes enjoy watching children’s movies, especially when they have some wittiness and humor aimed at adults. Looney Toons: Back in Actio was a really fun movie, and appropriate for both children and adults. The movie featured Looney Toons characters such as Yosemite Sam, the Tazmanian Devil, Marvin the …

Newsies movie
I first saw the movie Newsies when I was in high school as part of my chorus class. Ever since seeing the movie for the first time, I can’t go a year without needing to rent it again.
Overall, the movie probably isn’t the best musical out there. But, it’s …
Untraceable Movie
I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …
Trapped movie
I still think that the movie “Trapped” might have been the best movie I have seen the actor Stewart Townsed star in for quite some time. I personally like the movie not only because the actor Stewart Townsend was in it but because I thought the movie kept me on …
Movie Bangkok Dangerous
The primary flaw with this movie, and it’s a pretty big one, is that it’s just plain boring. I don’t know how an action movie about an international hit man manages to make me fall asleep, but this one did. Twice. Nicolas Cage is at his blandest in this …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …

Ratatouille film
Ratatouille is an instant classic computer-animated film by Pixar and Walt Disney Pictures. It tells the story of a rat living in Paris who dreams of becoming a chef. This movie delivers the full package; a great plot, amazing animation, humor, and a heart warming moral.
The animation …
Untraceable (R, 2009)
I must say that I love Diane Lane. She tends to have this quiet sex appeal that translates very well on screen whether she’s playing a seductive role or not. In any rate, I’m not used to seeing her in thrillers. But this particular movie was …
The Great Gatsby (movie)
One of the movies that I watched very recently was “The Great Gatsby”. It was the most recent film adaptation of the classical novel bearing a similar name. Up to a couple minutes before I began watching it, I honestly had no idea whether or not I would enjoy …
Thelma & Louise (1991)
Thelma & Louise, is a movie about two female criminals who happened to fall on their craft by accident. But no matter that, let’s get into the meat of the matter…no pun intended. This movie shows the level that people can sink to in times of desperation, never push …

Death Sentence is not rated by the MPAA, so if you buy this one, view it yourself before you let the kids see it. Kevin Bacon plays a father whose son is murdered and the murderer gets off scott free. Unable to reconcile himself to the fact, he sets …
Sex and the City (HBO series)
What show can you think of that has completely influenced the entire population of single women across the world? Sex and the City of course. The first wonderful thing about this show is that it’s set in one of the most intriguing, most colorful cities of all …
The Miracle of Sound
You never know what you are going to get when you watch a classic film short. The purposes behind these productions, which last anywhere from just a few minutes to a half-hour or so, is varied. The one I watched this evening is from 1940 and is …
Taken movie
Now this is how you do an action movie. All the car chases that seemed hollow and perfunctory in the Transporter movies are done well.
The story’s simple enough, the trailer really gives you all the info you need to know. It’s a father racing against …

The Karate Kid (2010)
I’m not really much of a karate fan. The word karate sent my thoughts to Asia where these bunch of really flexible asians start kicking some sorry guys’ ass and while they’re at it, they utter a lot of chinese that would make me go, “what the efff are …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …
The Dark Knight
After the 90s came and went and the Batman movie series continued its steady decline at the dismay of true fans, I figured I might as well forget seeing a better Batman than Michael Keaton, a better villain than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, or a better director than …
House Bunny
I’m not usually a fan of these comedy/blonde movies…I usually assume they lack substance and are predictable. When I watched House Bunny however, even though it was somewhat predictable, I couldnt help but be entertained.
The movie was basically about a Playboy model who thought she was expelled by …
Case 39 Movie (2009)
I’ve seen Renée Zellweger do comedy from the Bridget Jones series, do drama from the movie Cold Mountain and Cinderella Man, and a little bit of both in New in Town and lots more movies she’s been so famous for, but for the first time ever I was surprised …
Hollywood Land movie
I once again tried to watch the movie Hollywood Land last night and, once again, I found myself turning the movie off. I just cannot get through this film.
I think it’s because this movie was something different from what I was expecting.
I think the movie, which is about former …
Multiplicity (1996)
All I am thinking is that…if the role of Doug Kinney had been offered to someone else, this movie might not be as good as it was. I really love Michael Keaton. He is so versatile. By the way, Doug Kinney in the story whom Michael …
We All Scream for Ice Cream Movie
We All Scream for Ice Cream is easily one of the oddest movies in the Masters of Horror series. This one stars William Forsythe as a clown who drives an ice cream truck. If you think that he is the one who is torturing people, you’d only be partly …
Tron Legacy (2010 Movie)
During the late 1970s to the early 1980s, Disney produced a trio of live-action genre pictures, two of which have become cult classics: 1979’s The Black Hole, and 1981’s Dragonslayer. The third film, Tron, has become a bona fide classic, remembered more fondly in the nostalgic minds of …

Film “Grownups” (2010)
I really have a mixed opinion on this movie. If you like more than 1 other Adam Sandler movie or any Kevin James film you’ll like this. If you thought Kevin James was funny in that mall cop movie this movie is your style and you will …
