This …

In 1995, a teen flick came out and I remembered watching it a lot of times with my girlfriends. It was when the movie Clueless came out.

I am reviewing the movie, Numb, starring Matthew Perry. So there’s this guy. He has a lot of problems. He has depersonalization. This means that everything around him is in a dream state. He doesn’t know whether things are real. They all seem like they’re holograms and unreal. In …

We watched the movie Fired Up this past weekend. When I decided to watch it, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an OK movie.
OK, let me start out by saying this film isn’t for everyone in the family. It was about as raunchy …

Wow, that was a major mistake.
I hadn’t seen the movie Norbit in a long time and couldn’t remember if I liked it or hated it so I ended up watching it again last night. Again, a big freaking mistake. I would have been better off watching the home shopping …

I don’t remember much about 1981 (I would have only been about 6) but, if the movie Graduation Day is any indication, I don’t think it was a year where there were a lot of good movies.
The film advertises itself as a thriller but it was more of a …

My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …

The experience I had with this movie was the same I had with my previously watched movies based on Novels, which was out of the world. I don’t know why I found novel based movies so interesting and exciting. Perhaps, it’s because novel writers have some great skills to …

I saw the latest Bond flick over the weekend with a few of my friends. I am not a huge Bond fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve seen most of Bond movies, especially the ones released in the past 15 years, so I have at least …

I must say that I am confused when I watched Noel, the DVD movie. Luckily, I caught this on DVD instead of going to the movies for it. Starring Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Penelope Cruz, Paul Walker and some other casts, this movie is about miracles and that …

The Ruins was a complete waste of time, which was sad because I really wanted to see it. I kept seeing the movie advertised and telling my friends how good I thought it was. I’ve never read the book the film was based on, but now that I’ve seen …

Ok, after seeing other Dr. Seuss books turned into movies with mixed results, I had my doubts about Horton Hears a Who. But, after watching it last night, I have to say I was very impressed.
I had expected the movie, which is about an elephant who discovers and protects …

I watched The Haunting in Connecticut the other day with my boyfriend and there are lots of scary moments for me. I was so scared out of my mind and a lot of times it made me laugh because I was so nervous like when a member of the …

I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …

Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right. Based, of course, on “A Christmas Carol,” this movie transforms the Victorian London into America’s …

In my younger years, I watched the classic shorts of The Three Stooges like it was a religion. Every Saturday, I would be up to watch them. It was common for my father and I to attending local screenings of their shorts. As I grew up, …

Before the movie was released I knew nothing about the Marvel comic or even the animated series. Therefore, it was totally new to me when I saw the trailer for the very first time and didn’t know what to expect. After watching it though, I’m definitely surprised by how good …

In all honesty I don’t know why Susan Sarandon decided to participate in an average movie such as “The Banger Sisters”. The only reason that comes to my mind is that, after 11 years, from her successful movie “Thelma & Louise”, she thought this movie will have the same …

Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
Idyllic …

Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …

Back to basics. This film was shot entirely in black and white, reminiscient of the old days of film-making, before special effects or computer graphics. Risky, but it proved brilliant. The lack of digital enterntainment required the actors to step up to the plate, and they did so much …

I love Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale. I usually do my best to see any movie in which they star because they are usually very good movies with superior acting. It is under this thought that I went to see Pearl Harbor. I thought that since it had …

How am I supposed to review a movie where a man cuts off another man’s penis, fries it up in a cooking pan, and then serves it to the no-penis man and himself? How can I review a movie like this when the whole movie leading up to this …

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, …

This movie did what I love for suspense and horror films to do, it kept me guessing. I watch a lot of horror and while i was able to guess who the killer was based on how these movies work out it did make me second guess myself, …
