Shrek 3
The last movie for my girlfriends and I to watch on our movie day was Shrek 3. I had heard from several people that this was the best Shrek that the directors had come out with so far. I have to totally disagree with that statement. The movie was …
Sexy Beast movie
This ‘Sexy Beast’ movie was recommended to me by a friend who usually has good taste in films. He was right, I really loved it. Gangster films are not usually my thing but I thought this film was really special and can only partially be classed as …
Movie Autopsy (UR, 2008)
I won’t say that I tried to like this movie, because I could tell right away that it would be one of those films that tries to be campy. The movie, which centers on this one chick (who can remember their names) who is looking for her …

This cartoon movie is a compilation of various shorts cartoons that was stretched out to feature length. The background of this movie is about daffy Duck finding a treasure map that leads him to a deserted island that has a magical wishing well designed to grant the holder of …

The Iron Man 2 Movie
I was really looking forward to the sequel of the first Iron Man movie. I’m an avid fan of Marvel comics. I grew up with this stuff and seeing the characters come to life it just amazing!
The first Iron Man movie was perfect. I had my doubts about Robert …
Last Holiday 2006 movie
I’ve seen this movie a couple of times now; it’s decent. I don’t think it’s one of those movies that you think of and then you HAVE to see it, but it’s a pleasant movie to watch if it happens to be on.
Some of the acting is pretty good, …
The Mist
Frank Darabont had proven himself a skilled director when it came to adapting Stephen King’s works to film. He created a modern masterpiece with “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” was also very well done. For the first time, the director gets to tackle a horror …

Men In Black
I watched “Men In Black” on Television yesterday. I admit that I am probably the only person on this planet who has not seen this particular movie.
In this movie Will Smith has been selected to be a partner to Tommy Lee Jones character to help him fight an …
Bullet Boy (R, 2004)
You must really be a fan of independent urban films to grasp the poignant story of these two brothers. If you are looking for lots of “Boyz in the Hood” type violence, you will only be mildly satisfied. This film meanders between sensitive drama, and urban action …
Wonderland movie
Michael Winterbottom is a british filmmaker who has a very extensive production on his resume the last 10 years. The critics have been very positive about all of these films that include 24 hour party people and Welcome to Sarajevo. He often uses a documentary-like style and focuses a …
Mean Girls
Mean Girls starring Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan is one of my all time favorite teen and girl movies. The movie, which I saw when I was in my college, is a really a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It is a bit different from other teen comedies or girly movies …

Life of Pi, movie
‘Life of Pi’ the movie has garnered many positive reviews mainly through the ears and mouths of my friends. In the midst of my important year, my ‘A’ levels year, I decided to watch this movie due to me being a movie freak and me being tired of studying. …
Movie-Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I had heard that this was a great movie, so I settled in to watch it with my boyfriend. This movie is incredibly slow. For the first like hour and a half, hardly anything happens, and Mr and Mrs Smith barely talk to each other. After an hour and …

Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …
X Men the Last Stand
Ok I will X men a lot. And I think the first two movies were pretty good. But the 3rd one was just horrible. I mean they had way to many characters and there was way to much going on at the same time in the movie.I couldn’t really keep …
Grace Card (2011 Film)
The 2011 film “Grace Card” is a film geared to motivate people to set the way for a change and for a better place where everyone is equal. While there were many wonderful moments in the film (including the plot itself) there were also a few parts that seemed …
Meet Dave
Played by one of the most respected comedians in the entertainment industry, Meet Dave is a movie that I would have otherwise been reluctant to watch, as I am not really into blatant fiction, but because of the Eddy Murphy factor, I knew that it would have that comedy …
Blue Herrings movie
I am reviewing the movie, Blue Herrings, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as the mystery duo of Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Barnaby. This movie was made in 2000, was produced by Brian-True-May, and was based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this movie, viewers get …
Bob’s Busy Day movie
Bob’s Busy Day is actually a movie short, and it’s notable for one main reason. It is the debut of Bob Hope. It’s big on comedy, including physical humor, beginning with Hope’s signature big nose. He’s definitely a younger man here. He’s slimmer and that …
Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
The Color Purple
The Color Purple (1985) was a great film which was both melancholy and sentimental that was taken from the 1983 Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning book which was written by Alice Walker. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and co-written by Alice Walkeras well. This story centered …

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
Twilight Movie
I have so much to say about this movie, and everybody reading this review will either hate me or love me for it. I’m going to mention from the start that I did not like it at all, and most of this review will be everything that I did …
The Dark Knight
I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was just going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. I like the character change they made for Alfred because he …
1408
Starring: John Cussack (Mike Enslin), Samuel L Jackson (Gerald Olin), Mary McCormack (Lily Enslin), Jasmine Jessica Anthony (Katie Enslin)
The movie had captivated my interest from the very beginning especially with so much buildup about a room, that I was ‘dying’ with curiosity just to have a …
A Few Good Men movie
A Few Good Men is a very good movie and a very powerful film. I think this is one of the best military movies ever made. Even though it did not have many if any gun battles or fights it truly kept you at the edge of your seat and …
Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015 drama movie)
“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …

Great Expectations starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke is an average movie with some boring moments. Pip used to go to the house of an old woman everyday and he is a painter and artist from his childhood. Oneday he sees a small girl who is of his age …

I like comedy movie, it can refresh my mind and make me laugh. Last night I saw this movie, Big Fat liar on Tv. It’s a comedy and family movie, starring by Frankie Muniz as Jason Shepherd, Paul Giamatti as Marty Wolf and. Amanda Bynes as Kaylee.
The story is …
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar movie
Attitude is everything, and in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, there is plenty of attitude. When I first heard that Patrick Swayze was going to be in this movie, I was surprised, but there’s a reason for everything Patrick does, and when I learned it …
Singles (Movie)
I love the city of Seattle as it is one of my favorite places in the world. So when I saw Singles, I was enchanted by the scenery in the film, as Singles is a movie based upon the lives of characters living in Seattle. I liked this movie …
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
OK, maybe it’s because I’m a guy, but I just can’t understand the attraction of a movie about four girls who form a club based on a pair of blue jeans that happen to fit all of them.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 is the definition of “Chick Flick.” …
LadyHawke film
LadyHawke is one of Matthew Broderick’s better films even though most people probably haven’t seen it.
The movie is full of medieval fantasy and magic as he tries to help a couple that is cursed. The woman is a hawk by day and the man a wolf by night, keeping …
The break up movie
I was excited to see this movie and it was a major disappointment. I was excited to see it because it had vice Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston in it. It was supposed to be a comedy but it wasn’t much of a comedy to me. I barely laughed in …
Evan Almighty movie
This movie, a sequel in premise only to the earlier Bruce Almighty, is a fun PG rated film to enjoy with the whole family. Morgan Freeman once again plays God, with of course the ability to appear and reappear at will to whomever he desires. Steve Carell reprises his …

Trespass Movie (2011)
It is practically impossible to not have over the top expectations from a movie that has actors like Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman in the leading roles together on screen. And Trespass does not let down those expectations. The movie is touching, thrilling, smart and most importantly, unlike many …
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. …
Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
