Imaginary Playmate
I was waiting for my wife to get out of bed Sunday and ended up watching movies on the Lifetime Movie Network; starting with one called Imaginary Playmate.
This movie was OK but reminded me a lot of other movies I’ve seen. Basically, you have a family moving into a …
Movie : Haeckel’s Tale
Haeckel’s Tale is yet another one hour short film from the Showtime Series Masters of Horror. Directed by John McNaughton I would say its definitely the weakest entry from the first season of the show and in the bottom five of both seasons of the show. John …
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) movie

Project X movie
When I saw Matthew Broderick as the leading actor, I naturally assumed the movie Project X would be a comedy. I was wrong. However, as far as dramas are concerned, I have to say this is one of the better movies I’ve seen.
Playing an airman that has a personality …
Dead Like Me: Haunted
Dead Like Me: Haunted was the final regular episode for this science fiction series about grim reapers. It was Halloween, and it was actually one of their better episodes.
I liked seeing the characters in other types of attire. Jasmine Guy, who is quite beautiful, dressed as a …

Cars movie

Cars is a good movie and one that the entire family could enjoy, especially if you’re a bunch of race fanatics. How ever, …
This Is It movie
I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …
I am Because we Are
I am Because We Are is a documentary that is heart-wrenching and hard to watch at times, but that is a very important movie about the suffering in the African state of Malawi. In Malawi, there are 1 million orphans, most of them orphaned by Aids. The country …
The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie
Every once in a while, I get the hankering for a good old fashioned film about love, marriage, and all that other heavy stuff. Reading the synopsis of this film, I thought that the intrigue would be deeper, that the sex scenes would be more “visually gratifying”, and …
Happy Feet
Happy Feet (2007) This movie was a charmer! I loved it as much as my grandkids. It is a happy, feel good movie. It makes you want to get up and start dancing. This is one of the best children’s movies I have seen. I could …

Sherek does’nt want to wear his father in laws’s crown, so in order to avoid becoming king of Far,Far away, he leads a rebellion to install an alternative. The movie is about 95 minutes long, ad to that some 15 minutes of other movies preview. I like the …
Shaun of the Dead
Shaun of the Dead is a British romantic comedy/horror film featuring Simon Pegg as the bumbling slacker Shaun who is forced to save his family and friends from a town full of bloodthirsty zombies. While this movie sports lots of zombie gore, it is almost cartoonish or Monty …
The International film
This is the latest film that I watched. This movie is really a masterpiece and will be remembered for the stunning performance by Clive Owen and the untouched script.
The movie is mainly based on the world of international crimes and how international banks helped them. I never thought that …

In the name of the father movie
Based on a true story, this film reveals some severe weaknesses in the british justice system as a man, played marvellously by Daniel Day-Lewis, is wrongfully accused and imprisoned for a murder. And not only that, but his whole family, who are also all innocent, are convicted. This was …
The Proposal Movie (2009)
The Proposal is a romantic comedy movie that starts Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra Bullock is such a good actress that any movie that stars her is probably a good quality movie. She plays a snobbish, selfish, egocentric boss who is a Canadian citizen and is in dire …
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo movie
Columbo: Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo was a real shocker when it came out in 1991. I remember reading the buzz about it. Would they really kill off Columbo’s unseen but much loved wife? The made for TV movie actually starts with Mrs. Columbo’s funeral. …
The Recruit (2003)
I have made some harsh statements as it relates to the acting prowess of Colin Farrell and for that I must say LOL, I got you didn’t I? Even though this movie was a lot better than most of his movies, and he managed to show that he can …

BlockBuster Total Access
After growing tired of paying for satellite tv and renting movies that I had to spend more time returning than I did watching, I decided to try the service. I get 3 movies at a time, unlimited rentals, free postage paid return envelopes and an easy to use …
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …
Movie Fragile
Starring: Calista Flockhart (Amy Nichols), Richard Roxburgh (Doctor Robert), Elena Anaya (Helen Perez), Gemma Jones (Mrs Folder), Yasmin Murphy (Maggie)
This movie is trite and unexciting, despite the appealing storyline behind it. I would think the Japanese and Koreans would have done better with this.
Amy took up a …
Tyler Perry Madea goes to jail movie
Tyler Perry Made goes to jail is one of the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time. I really had a great time watching all of it. It’s hilarious to see Tyler dressing up as a woman. She’s wearing this women outfit and she acts like a man. …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.
Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a secretary for a publishing company who is in love with her boss (Hugh Grant) who shamelessly flirts with her (and her skirt!). After the pair have …
Resurrecting The Champ (PG-13, 2007) movie
I had heard of this film. But when I saw that Josh Hartnett and Samuel Jackson starred in it, I figured it was one of those movies in which the black man portrays a lost, but heroic figure. And the white man comes to save the day …
Happy Feet Movie
This movie is a great family movie to watch, it is an inspiring movie for children for giving them an idea of not giving up to what they are not good at but to find other talents that they are really passionate about.

Memoirs of a Geisha Movie
Memoirs of a geisha was craptacular. The plot was overly melodramatic, and there was very little representation of traditional geisha makeup. Basically, a girl is sold by her father to a geisha house, after which her mother and father both die. Orphaned, she becomes the quintessential …
Silence of the Lambs Movie
This stunning movie is already considered a classic. Garnering five 1991 Academy Awards, it comes to no surprise that many of us still find it spellbinding.
Clarice Starling is training to be a FBI agent. When a psychopath is murdering women, Starling (Jodie Foster) was sent to interview a prisoner, …
Waterboy
When the movie Waterboy first came out, it was one of my favorite movies. But, after watching it quite a few times, both on DVD and on TV, I’m coming to realize it really isn’t that great of a film after all.
Adam Sandler is funny in it and I …
Movie: Toy Story 3

The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie
Rocky Horror Picture Show is another cult classic movie that everyone loves to watch and everyone loves to dance and sing to! It used to be that movie theaters around the country would show the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the audience would shout out the characters lines …
Pigs vs Freaks movie
In 1984, the movie Pigs vs Freaks was aired. Oddly, it had been filmed in 1980, and in truth, it was loosely based on a game that had been written up in Time Magazine in 1970. In other words, this movie was a long time coming. …
Twilight
When I first heard about the movie, Twilight based on the Book by Stephanie Meyer, I really did not know much about it. After it came out on DVD I decided to watch it. At first I loved the movie but found it a bit cheesy. After reading the …

The Resident movie
If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.
There are few films that really discuss a new idea or shed light on …

Death Sentence, movie
Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …

The Sixth Sense movie
I thought that The Sixth Sense is one of the best scary and strange movies made in the last 10 years. This movie really messed with my head and scared me the first time I saw it. I was not expecting the movie to be that scary, but it was …
Gangster (movie), 2006
I watched Gangster on TV and I really liked the film. It released on 28th April, 2006. I could not watch the movie at theatre because I had my University exam in May, 2006. But I really wished to watch it at theatre especially after the controversy that this …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
The Marine (PG-13, 2006) movie
If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …
Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
