No woman would like it when she finds out her husband has been having an affair. That’s what happens to Julia Roberts, character, Grace in the movie Something to Talk About. Her husband in this movie is acted by Dennis Quaid and be prepared for a tissue box …
Christine
I’ve never taken the time to read the Stephen King book Christine but finally got around to watching the movie last night. Overall, it wasn’t too bad.
The film, which is about a living car and a teenaged boy’s obsession over it, is a bit drawn out and takes a …

Men In Black
I am totally fascinated about this movie. That may be because prior to watching, I never had any idea what this was all about. And that turned out to be everything I have never imagined that I would be seeing in this movie. I may …
The Doomsday Flight
The Doomsday Flight is a movie I’ve never forgotten. I used to see it on late night television, way back before cable was even thought of. It was dramatic and even scary to me. When eBay became the big thing, I searched for it and finally …
The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
I expected more from this movie. Yes, it was nice to see Johnny Depp as the funny Captain Jack Sparrow again, and Orlando Bloom as Will Turner with his sword fighting, and of course the beautiful Keira Knightley as Elizabeth. But the story was empty to me. From the …
Monsters Inc. movie
I had a copy of this at home however I didn’t bother watching it at first since I really don’t like the title Monsters Inc. I thought it was one of those boring gruesome monsters stories I often see on television. One time I had nothing to do except …
Armageddon Sci Fi Action Disaster Movie
Armageddon is a very chaotic film. Certainly the subject-matter warrants it. Suffice it to say: your brain and all of your visual senses will have a workout. In order that you have no preconceived notions about the movie: just know the best advice is: …
I am Legend
First when i saw this movie poster, i think that Will Smith will play another dramatic with full of messages movie like his previous movie “the pursuit of happiness”, but well i’m wrong. This movie is not at all about drama and great quotes and meaningfull for life, this …

Inception Movie
Inception has climbed to charts as #3 on imbd top 250 movies of all time. According to the majority vote, Inception is more popular then the amazing, and mind blowing “The Godfather Part II”. Now why is this film so good?
First off, I’d like to point out that …
Avatar the Movie
The very best comparison in order to Avatar is actually that it’s the Star Wars with this decade. Personally, having already been born within 1984 and never having seen the initial Star Conflicts trilogy till I had been 15 or even 16, I’ve never truly understood exactly what the …
The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …
Heidi,1937 movie

Terror Tract
I watched the very beginning of this movie yesterday. I didn’t even finish watching it because it was so boring. It was suppose to be about these haunted houses but it wasn’t really. It was just about these people that were having an affair and the woman’s husband came …
Notes on a Scandal Movie
The fact that only select cinemas screened this movie meant something and when I saw that it was a European movie, I knew it was going to be good! I kind of knew what to expect: lengthy dialogues, character-driven plots, and a very unique story.
The movie started with …
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 …
Death Live in L.A. (Death & Raw) DVD REVIEW
It was 2001 when Chuck Schuldiner made one of his last presentations with Death before withdrawing from the metal scene due to his battle against cancer. This DVD is not only a recording of this concert, which took place in a reknown L.A. house called ‘Whisky a Go Go’, …
Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …
The Great Raid (2005)
Based on actual events, this movie is about the planned rescue of America POWs (Prisoner of War) that were being help in a Japanese camp. The prisoners there were treated very inhumanely for example, when they first arrived at the camp, a group of them were lead into a …
Teeth Movie
Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …
Monsters versus Aliens Movie (2009)
I thought this was a pretty good movie at first when I saw the preview on HBO, it’s a science fiction cartoon movie and I haven’t really caught this on the big screen so I was excited to watch this on my new tv set. This movie features Reese …
American Beauty movie

Identity - The Movie
This movie is a shocker/thriller story. It starred John Cusack played as Edward. Ray Liotta, a convict escaped and played a cop, Rebecca DeMornay a TV star, Amanda Peet a call girl in the movie.
The story is about a psycho-killer. He would kill without reason. He …
Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Who could remember what life was like before Captain Jack Sparrow? It seems to me he’s always been around. And I’m grateful to Johnny Depp for bucking the authority at Disney and creating the lead character in this movie his way. I think Depp captures the personality and era …
One Missed Call Movie
One Missed Call is a complete waste of time and I’m not saying that because I was disappointed or because I didn’t like one actor, but because this movie was absolutely horrible. The sad thing is that I was really excited to see this movie and had been for …
The Goonies 1985 Movie
I just saw this movie for the first time last night. My friends and I watched it together. It’s a very cute movie for kids, although there are some scary scenes which means it might not be so good for younger kids.
Each of the characters were quite funny, …
Ready to Rumble (2000)
If you like pro wrestling in any way, shape or form, and this movie is just for you, yup, it is right up your alley and it will or will not prove to be a good thing. As this movie would have it, two sewage workers are extremely upset …
Fargo
I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …
Fools Rush In
“Fools Rush In” represents the big leaps from the small screen to the big screen for Matthew Perry. I feel that his interpretation of his part in this movie helped him get more important parts such as “The Whole Nine Yards” role. Perry was so excited by it all, …

Meet Dave
Played by one of the most respected comedians in the entertainment industry, Meet Dave is a movie that I would have otherwise been reluctant to watch, as I am not really into blatant fiction, but because of the Eddy Murphy factor, I knew that it would have that comedy …
Sideways movie
I am reviewing the movie, Sideways, which was released in 2005. This movie stars Paul Giamatti as wine lover, Miles. Thomas Haden Church plays his best friend, Jack, who is Miles’ complete opposite. Miles is a sensitive, caring, introvert whose life has taken a sad turn. …
Moulin Rouge movie
In all honesty, I love this movie. Although I’m not a big fan of musicals, I found this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and romantic. The production was really something that amazed me and these are probably the reasons why it is one of my top ten favorite …
Patriot Games movie
I actually heard about the novel before I saw the movie some years ago since the novel was one of a number of books by the author Tom Clancy in my aunt’s bookcase. I can’t remember watching the movie Patriot Games when I did not have cable televisoion; but …
Eagle Eye movie
Looking for a good movie with sweet action shots? then hit up Eagle eye the moving is a good one for the action lover. I thought the movie was great up until the point that the person running everything was a high- tech secret computer, LAME! That ruined it …

High School Musical
Can two different people from two different worlds apart get together? A lot of stories have already answered that question, but perhaps the most popular story among them is Disney’s “High School Musical”.
This made-for-TV movie follows the story of Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), a basketball jock, and Gabriella Montez …
Kill Bill Part 1 Starring Uma Thurman
I was bored today and so I decided to watch a DVD. I thought I should watch and action film. I’ve never seen Uma Thurman in an action film except in that Batman Movie Series. So, I finally decided to watch Kill Bill part 1.
I forgot the names of …
Lakeview Terrace
I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …
The Hurt Locker movie
It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …
A Life Less Ordinary
“A Life Less Ordinary” represents the early stages of two great actors; Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor. This is a very funny romantic comedy were we can see the great talents of the then almost unknown actors. In this movie, they are both sporting a trendy spiky haircut. We …
Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca: A Science Fiction Movie
My husband is a science fiction fan. I don’t particularly go for the science fiction genre necessarily but there are movies in it that I like (Water World for example). We were at home watching television not so long ago when he saw that this movie, Gattaca, was …
Gilbert Grape
My wife is a Johnny Depp fan and has seen most of his films and the other night I watched one with her it was called whats eating Gilbert Grape.
