March of the Penguins documentary
This documentary is both educational and entertaining. It is fun to learn more about these cute, flightless, birds.
The penguins followed in this film are Emperor penguins, which are the only penguins which live year round on Antarctica. They have to survive very cold weather and the chicks which are …

Turbulence movie
I completely forgot about the movie “Turbulence” until very recently when I saw it being broadcast on a cable televison channel again. Since the name sounded familiar I decided to even watch half of it in order to refresh my memory on the movie. The result was that I …
Galaxy Quest
Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …
Open Season movie
Although this is a children’s movie I loved it. Ashton Kutcher and Martin Lawrence play in it and they do an amazing job in the movie and do an amazing job acting together in it. I really laughed at some of the parts. This one of my favorite children’s …
Happy Feet
My mom and dad bought Happy Feet for my little girl to watch and it couldn’t have been a better purchase. She just loves this movie. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
Between the melody and rhythm of the music and the contrast of colors on the movie, it …
Netflix
This is the best on-line movie rental program ever!! Even BlockBuster can’t come close to this. We love the selection of movies on DVD from old black and white silent to today’s current movies. TV shows that we grew up with and miss, since we think …
House of the Spirits movie
In South America before World War II a poor man named Esteban marries a woman and works hard in order to afford living their dreams. The film was directed by the danish filmmaker and is a very heartwarming story. The biggest fault of the film in my opinion is …
Due Date (movie)
The movie “Due Date” was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t expect that I would enjoy it so much. In the movie, a man played by the actor Robert Downy Jr. drives across the United States along with a struggling actor who got him kicked off a plane so …
Mona Lisa Smile
It took me a very long time to watch the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” because I have always found it very hard to watch movies starring the actress Julia Roberts. This is because I’m used to her starring in a lot of romance films which I don’t like as …
Ever After DVD
I love movies, I like sitting in my den with the fire place on and watching a good movie. I don’t even care if they are old ones. Another of the actresses that I enjoy is Drew Barrymore, I watched a movie with her in it over …
Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
Gladiator movie
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Gladiator at all, but the intensity of the drama can’t be ignored. In short, this is a movie about a much respected general to Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of Rome, who is then condemned to execution by the emperor’s son, Commodus. The …
All Good Things Movie (2010)
All Good Things movie it’s based on the real-life events when a woman goes missing in 1982 and her husband is a suspect in her disappearance, but there isn’t enough evidence against him. In this fictional story the writers are attempting to give a plausible explanation to the …
Michael Clayton
We went to see the new George Clooney movie last night, Michael Clayton, and I really enjoy Clooney as an actor, but in my opinion, this movie did not bring out his best acting ability. The theme of the movie reminded me of the movie Erin Brockovitch, where the …
Spirited Away (2001 film)
One of my favorite Japanese directors Hayao Miyazaki, has done a wonderful job in creating the 2001 Japanese animation “Spirited Away”. The characters in this movie are relatable and ones that I quickly fell in love with, and I am sure that many other people can truly enjoy this …
The Castle of Fu Manchu movie
This is one of the classic Christopher Lee movies, and personally, I think that most people I’ve met who are still interested in some of these classic horror and suspense films either like this movie or hate it. Personally, I appreciated this movie, since I didn’t think that it …
The Canterville Ghost (movie)
I’ve always been fairly fascinated with the actress Neve Campbell, especially after I saw her in movies such as the “Scream” franchise and “The Craft”. She seemed to be a familiar face in the late nineties to the early 2000s, and I know believe some of that had to …
Yoga Hosers, horror comedy
I’m a fan of Kevin Smith’s work. I enjoyed the “View Askewniverse” movies as well as “Red State”. I’ve also enjoyed his podcast “Fatman on Batman”. I have yet to see “Tusk” but I was able to check out it’s sequel/spin-off “Yoga Hosers”.
The fact that this follows …
All in the Family Fan Favorites DVD
This DVD release unfortunately is no better than the season set DVD releases for the show. There are no special features or bonus extras. All that’s on this DVD is eight episodes from the second season of the show. I had hoped when renting this DVD that because there …
That Old Feeling (1997 Film)
A movie that combines love, growth, realization of the importance of life and a large dose of comedy from a dynamic cast including Bette Midler, is not a movie I would want to pass up. Nor would I think anyone else would either. The 1997 film “That Old Feeling” …

I am reviewing the movie, The Guardian, which was released in 2006. This movie stars Kevin Costner, as Ben Randall, a US Coast Guard diver who saves lives for a living. When a chopper accident occurs and leaves Ben as the only survivor, he begins to suffer from severe …
Jarhead
Jarhead is rated ‘R’ by the motion picture association of america with good reason.
Jarhead follows a young recruit named Swoff, played by Jake Gyllenhall. The movie first takes you through Swoffs time at bootcamp which is both a little too real and disturbing. Swoff is chosen to become a …

The Breed
While the movie The Breed isn’t one of the better scary movies I’ve watched, it still turned out to be a half way decent thriller and I would recommend taking the time to rent it.
The movie is about five college students who decide to spend a weekend on a …
Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …
Plan 9 From Outer Space
This movie is considered one of the worst of all time. Maybe THE worst of all time. It’s directed by the worst director of all time, Ed Wood. So many people hated this movie when it came out in the 1950s. All I have to say is this: I …
Happy Feet Movie
A blast from the very beginning! Happy Feet is a unique movie that kids can enjoy as much as parents. The lead characters are lovable from the get go, and have you rooting for them the whole way through. A small sidenote thrown into the movie about living in …
Movie Monster Man
Monster Man is a horror comedy movie that starred by Eric Jungmann and Justin Ulrich. Why it’s called horror comedy movie? Because I think it’s full of intends but it’s also funny and the story is doesn’t make any sense.
Monster Man begin when Adam (Eric Jungmann) wanna attending Betty …
Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …
The Men Who Stare at Goats Movie
The Men Who Stare at Goats opening credits proclaim “More of This is True Than You Would Believe” and I don’t doubt it for a second.
Bob Wilton (Ewan Macgregor), a small town reporter goes on a quest to prove to his wife who had left him, that she …
London to Brighton (2006) Movie
I thought this was an excellent film and it kept me totally gripped from beginning to end, but I would warn you that the subject matter of this film is repulsive and it is as gritty as —˜Nil By Mouth’. We are plunged into the world of London …

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I have always thought Will Ferrell was a funny talented actor. His movies are among the best out there. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, was once again a funny film. However, it definitely wasn’t his best effort.
What I believe was basically a spoof of Days of Thunder, …
The ring two (movie)
As far as I remember I really enjoyed watching the first ring. It was freaky, a lot of people said that it was scary but I thought it was more freaky than anything. I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters with my cousin. We both …
People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …
Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …
John Tucker Must Die Movie
I took my mother out to see this movie for her birthday back when it came out. I’m not exactly sure when it came out but I believe it was around 2005 or so. I was actually the one who wanted to see, not my mother, but she agreed …
27 Dresses
Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …
Eden Lake movie
I just recently watch this thriller movie on a DVD player which is a British horror thriller written and directed by James Watkins. My comment about this movie is that I am not satisfied with the ending. The message is very clear in the movie though and it …
Dirty Harry (1971)
In my estimation, no review can even come close to doing this movie justice, this has got to be the greatest crime movie ever created then and still today, it is not close to finding its equal. Every movie today is filled with so much over the top green …
Knocked up
This movie starring Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl as Alison Scott and Seth Rogan (Cal from the 40 year old virgin)as Ben was hilarious. Alison goes out clubbing to celebrate a promotion at work, she meets up with Ben and they have a one night stand. …
The Brood movie
A lovely little horror and suspense film is The Brood. What is The Brood? Well, the brood turns out to be a bunch of tiny people who go around murdering every one that they think has committed some sort of injustice towards their mother. This is a pretty simple …
Movie The Wrestler
I didn’t actually want to see the movie “The Wrestler” with my friends since I had seen it advertise about once or twice and I thought that the storyline looked like something I would not be very interested in. Also, unlike previous times, I am not interested in the …
The Phantom (1996)
The Phantom is a live action movie made from the pages of the comic strip that used to and still comes in to papers. While the cartoon version was a bit more successful than the comic strip to appeal to the viewers, more particularly the children, the movie failed …
