Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is a movie about two sisters. Baby Jane Hudson was a child star who never got past the adoration of cheering crowds and a father who spoiled her. Blanche Hudson, her older sister, was a shy and reserved child who ended up being the …
The Phantom (Movie)
The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …
Click movie
I was looking for a movie that has it all drama, comedy, a great plot. A friend told me to watch the movie Click. I did and I tell you I do not regret it. This movie was a tear jearker I cried like a baby in two different …

Dady’s Little Girls
Daddy’s little girls is one of Tyler Perry’s heartwarming movies, about a loving father who is doing all he can for his three little girls. My husband and i watched it together on the couch. I think he cried as much as i did.
Monty (Idris Elba) went to see …
The Other Boleyn Girl (PG-13, 2008) movie
I was surprised that I actually liked this movie. Based on the crazy family of Henry VIII, this film follows the two women who vied for his heart. One woman is full of vigor and zest. The other woman is more tame. The tensions …
Get Smart
I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …
An American Haunting
Director Courtney Solomon’s direction in the film “An American Haunting” was well done in some aspects. I believe that he used the elements of atmosphere to his advantage and played with it to draw the audience into the dark winter of 1818. Unfortunately, like with most of …
Movie Truman
Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …
Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …
Movie Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman is one of the first romantic movies I have seen and I liked it very much. I still love that movie after watching over hundred times in all these years. This Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starred movie is one of the greatest romantic movies of Hollywood …
Drop Dead Fred, 1991 movie
Drop Dead Fred which came out in 1991, starring Pheobe Cates, and Rik Mayall, remains one of my favorite movies of all time. I strongly recommend that if you like comedies that you see this movie. The movie is about a woman, Lizzie, who’s husband is seeing another woman …
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
I admit to being a bit apprehensive when I checked this movie out, mainly because I had not liked the first “Garfield” movie. Mainly I had thought Garfield had acted a tad too mean in it. But to my utter surprise, this movie was a real delight to watch. …
Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Lord Of The Ring: The Two Towers (hereafter “Two Towers”) is the second movie in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I guess if there is a weak link in the trilogy, this would be the movie, simply because the story neither starts nor ends in this …

Employee of the month
This was a great movie for me. I used to work in retail. Most movies are based out of big city office complexes, and most of the average people working in shopping centers, restaurants, or some other ordinary job. So I really related to this movie. However the …
Columbo: Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health movie
Columbo: Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health is one of the 1991 movies of the Columbo movies, and it’s one I like a lot. It guest starred George Hamilton as security guru turned reality show host, Wade Anders. In essence, think of him as John …
Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
Without A paddle
This is a great movie for a day that you want to just kick your feet back and relax, maybe laugh a little. It was really funny in some parts, other parts were just ok funny. I really enjoyed watching it, and bought the movie. I would watch it …
Re-Animator movie
The cult favorite among many people is a very gore-filled comedy about a young medicine student who gets involved in the most horrific way of making dead bodies come back to life. The film is very bizarre and the violence just seem to pop out of nowhere, just like …
Transformers
Transformers. Once again the world of comic books strikes it big in the box office. Transformers has been popular since it’s debut early in July. For the most part I enjoyed the film. The special effects are to be commended. Shia LeBouf does a great job as the boy-next-door …

Dumb and Dumber To, movie
Jim Carrey films were one of the most prominent features of my childhood so it was with some nostalgia that I approached this movie, even though the original Dumb and Dumber has never been one of my favourites. Carrey’s recent films have been relatively subdued in comparison to …

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot

The Grudge 2

Kung Fu Hustle movie
For me, finding a good comedy is kind of like walking through a mine field. I’m not guaranteed of getting across in finding a great, hilarious movie and I am more than likely to step on a mine and hit some very unfunny, poorly-written duds. That is why I …
Mr. Woodcock, movie
Everyone remembers one teacher one teacher that seemed to have it out for them. Maybe it was a pesky history teacher, or the woman with the grey hair who stood guard in American lit, but for most of us, it was the most dreaded of all the primary school …

Dracula: Dead and Loving It with Leslie Nielson, Mel Brooks, Steven Weber, Peter MacNicol, Harvey Korman, and Amy Yasbeck.
