Annabelle (horror movie)
A friend of mine who loves horror movies encouraged me to watch the trailer for Annabelle, and I knew I just had to since it was supposedly based on the story of one of the haunted dolls that resides in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s doll room. I was so terrified …
The Mother (2003)
“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …
Voyage of the Dawn Treader- movie
Last weekend a friend of my husband asked us out to see The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. I was a big time enthusiast of the books as a child. Often I found myself peering into the back of my closet just hoping and praying that an …
Little Man movie
It’s amazing what they can do with the help of computers today. Marlon Wayans, who is not little at all, plays the “Little Man” - a midget, a criminal named Calvin. Calvin and his buddy Percy steal a huge diamond which they later have to hide in a young …
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)
Sinbad was sent to find the legendary ‘Book of Peace’ that he was accused of stealing. The person that accused him of the crime was the person who framed him, that person is the same person who gave them the book in the first place, the goddess of chaos …
Shakespeare in Love,1998 movie
This movie is typical Hollywood fluff, with overdone “passion” and sexing. The storyline is okay; it could have been a decent movie if it was done right. Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is struggling with a writing crisis, he thinks he has lost his gift and searches for a …
Enchanted movie
Enchanted is an American musical movie starring Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey and Susan Sarandon in a pivotal role. The movie is a very good romantic entertainer and has some very good musical numbers to it’s credits. The well executed plot and the performances of the major star cast helped …
The Secret (R, 2006) movie
You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …
Sin City (2005 movie)
A great telling of the stories by Frank Miller. It’s dark, it’s mysterious, it’s dangerous, and as the tagline says…”Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything.” Of all the many stories that were told, the best one to me is the story …
Dora’s World Adventure
I’m not normally someone who enjoys sitting through Dora the Explorer Cartoons with my daughter, but I was glad I sat through Dora’s World Adventure last night.
The hour long episode showed Dora traveling to different countries around the world to return stolen friendship bracelets to her friends. Along the …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Tron (movie)
This movie came out at a time when video games were still being played primarily in video arcades in the mall. Atari and similar consoles were not yet widespread. The makers of Tron were experimenting right alongside young companies like Nintendo and Microsoft. Within a few short years, Atari …
Movie War of the Worlds (2005)
Even though War of the Worlds is a great movie and I enjoyed watching it very much, I was not happy with the fact that Tom Cruise played the leading role. I did not think the character of Ray Ferrier was portrayed as believable and may have been better …
Never Been Kissed Movie
“Never Been Kissed” is a movie made towards the beginning of Drew Barrymore’s career. I knew she was my favorite actress when I saw “The Wedding Singer”, and this movie made me love her even more. I can’t remember the first time I saw it, but I know that …
Georgia Rule
I like Lindsay Lohan, I think she’s pretty and I think she has the talent to do some outstanding works on movies. So I always watch her movies. This particular movie is too interesting. She is the rebel daughter of a quite young mother. This …
Fever Pitch (1997 Version)
I believe this is one of Colin Firth less known movies and it is a pity because he is simply great in the role of an Arsenal supporter Paul Ashworth. His character at times knows how to be romantic but, most of the times, he is obsessed on how …
Taxi (movie)
Taxi is a movie about a cop undercover who teams up with a fast cab driver in New York to catch a bunch of women who have been robbing banks. First of all, a French movie of the same name has already been made that couldn’t have been worse …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives is another one of those movies made when Raymond Burr wasn’t able to show up as the Mason character. Instead of just making it a non-Mason flick as I would have preferred, they turned the scripts into mysteries …
Juno (R, 2007) movie
Wow, I really really loved this movie. I knew that any movie starring Ellen Page would be a really good film. The first movie that I saw her in was Hard Candy, a really brutal film about a child molester who meets up with this …
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape 1993 movie
I did not like this movie; I found it very depressing. I heard a lot about it, and yes, Leonardo DiCaprio does an excellent portrayal of a retarded teenager, Arnie; you feel sorry for him, but even more so for those who must live with him and take care …
Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later (1998)
Michael Myers is the serial killer that plagued people in the Halloween franchise movies, at every ending it would seem that they actually manage to kill Michael, but he keeps coming back to star once again his usual role as the mass murderer. Michael’s sister returns to this sequel …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …
New Moon movie
I saw the movie New Moon. The second installment in the Twilight series, when it first came out and at the time thought it was ok. I recently tried watching it again and realize that it was very disappointing.
I did like the beginning when Alice threw the party for …
Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
Movie Sister Act 2
Just one year from Sister Act 1, we got to see on big screen the actress, Whoopi Goldberg re-interpret the role of Sister Mary Clarence in “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit”. I must admit that this movie is good; however it isn’t as great at the first …
World War 2: The Lost Color Archives
Last week I decided to learn a bit more about the second world war, I think it is important to know how it went and what happened during that war. So I decided to view a documentary about it. The reason I watched this specific documentary is because it …
Last House on the Left movie
My wife and I finally got a chance to watch the movie The Last House on the Left yesterday afternoon. We had the movie a while and were waiting for the right time to watch it. But, as it turns out, there really wasn’t one because it wasn’t as …
Lord of War (2005)
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Bridget Moynahan, Jared Leto, Ethan Hawke, Eamonn Walker, Ian Holm, Sammi Rotibi, and Yevgeni Lazarev.
Directed by: Andrew Niccol.
Lord of War is a highly entertaining and smart political crime thriller. This was made in 2005? Wow, that’s hard to believe amidst 99.9% of the garbage that is …
Away From Her
I am really in tears watching this movie. The tears meant that the movie works perfectly well for me. This movie is something that youngsters will not fancy, since it features the older generations. But, it tells me that one day I am going to be …
Krull
This film quietly snuck up on us in the early 1980’s. It’s a science fantasy film that, boiled down, is essentially the classic plot: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy gets girl.
The boy and girl are Corwyn and Lyssa. And in the beginning they are to be married, …
Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie
I am not a huge Molly Parker fan. But there is something about the actress’ delicate features and avant garde sensitivity that I am drawn to. For that reason, I decided to rent “Suspicious River”—a film about a young woman who works in a motel, …
Ruthless People
I recently watched the movie Ruthless People on cable and I really loved the movie. It is a pure comedy movie. But the comedy is just smart comedy and not cheap comedy. This movie has Danny DeVito, Bette Midler in the main roles and they are really good at …
The Little Mermaid animation movie
Ariel, a young princess mermaid, is fascinated with people and their life up there, above the sea. She even has a small collection of human things, obviously dropped from ships or picked up after shipwrecks. One day Ariel saves the life of a human prince, Eric, who almost drowns …
A Clockwork Orange (movie)
Does anyone really get the movie, A Clockwork Orange? I know that I don’t! I have tried to understand if A Clockwork Orange is about more than just what you see, sort of like is there a subplot that I should be understanding, but I come up with the …
The Amazing Spider Man 2 movie
When the first series of Spiderman movies came out in the early 2000’s, my husband and I were quick to go see them. However, after the first two it became more of a run on series rather than a well thought out movie series. It was my exhaustion …
As Good as It Gets, the movie (1997)
I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that the best thing about this movie is the dog. She is beautiful, original, and has reached heights of acting that even Jack Nicholson could not contact. And if it suddenly occurs to you for a moment that the grumpy writer melted …

The Bridge To Terabithia
First of all, I liked this movie. It is not just a typical children’s movie because it really touched my heart. I think there are so many lessons that can be learned from this movie like improving self-confidence, importance of friendship, and believing in talents. The actors are all …
Roadkill
I watched this movie story, Roadkill on TV twice when it was telecast some time last year on my local TV channel.
It starred my favorite actor Paul Walker and a great acting by him and also Steve Zahn and Leelee Sobieski. I watched alone the first time …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …

“The Girl Next Door” is an attempt to do a different teen movie by putting together teen curiously and pornography. Although it received mixed reviews from critics, the general public enjoyed watching this movie due to the involvment of three new generations of great actors Emile Hirsch, …
Movie 50 First Dates
I decided to buy the movie “50 First Dates”, after watching the trailer and seemed to be interesting; however in the end I was very disappointed due to the fact that this movie must represent the worst interpretation from actors, Adam Sandlers and Drew Barrymore.
“50 First Dates” includes some …
The Ring movie
The Ring is one of the best scary movies to come out this decade. I think this movie is up there with the Exorcist. The US version is very well done and very creepy. I think what is so scary about the movie is that the whole time you …
Mirrors (2008)
Mirrors is a 2008 horror film starring Kiefer Sutherland and Paula Patton. Kiefer is an ex-cop that is running the night shift at a local abandoned hospital. The mirrors in this building contain an evil force that is using a gateway to their homes.
