The Hurt Locker movie
It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have to say, this movie really did live up to my expectations. Third in the series that also includes The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this movie follows Jason Bourne as he seeks out the people who made him what he has become and gradually “all …

Being a long time fan of Mr. Bean, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this movie, “Mr. Bean’s Holiday.” My husband and I went to see it yesterday, on the first day it came out, and we were not disappointed!! Mr. Bean is as hilarious as ever, …
Entrapment movie
As much as I thought I would enjoy the movie Entrapment, I will start out by saying it took me more than a month to actually watch it from beginning to end mostly because I couldn’t stand to be bored for more than a few minutes at a time.

The Winning Team movie
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. As a politician, I never liked Ronald Reagan. I think he acted his way through the presidency. However, as an actor, I really enjoy his performances, including this one as baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander. He’s …
Once Upon a Time in Mexico movie
Robert Rodriguez returns with a sequel to his classic low budget film El Mariachi, but unfortunately this time without the same energetic visual style. The story is a very complex thing with corrupt CIA agents, drug dealers and assassins, but that is not what bothers me. Rodriguez have proved …
Another Cinderellla Story
For Christmas I got the movie “Another Cinderella Story”. I rate this movie as a 7. It was pretty good, and the story line was cute because it goes with this decade.

Click movie
“Click” was starred by Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. The former also starred in “50 1st Dates” and “Spanglish”.
Personally, this was a classic. I have known that Adam Sandler always plays in roles that offers humour as well as that touching concept. THis too was found in “Click”.
The story …
Candy movie
I watched this film starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish, thinking that it was really going to be riveting. But I must admit that I was sadly disappointed. The movie tried too hard to be poignant, shocking, and emotional. What it turned out to be …
Mister Roberts movie
I am reviewing the movie, Mister Roberts, which was created back in 1955. Although an oldie, it is definitely a goodie. I accidently came across this movie on television about six years ago, and I immediately was hooked. This movie is filled with brilliant actors, including Henry …
Snakes on a Plane, David Ellis Movie
‘Snakes on a Plane’ (SoaP) is one of the internet phenomenon in the beginning. Long before released, this movie becomes the subject of debate and discussion, which is quite warm. And it is quite a trick successfully. ‘SoaP’ successfully occupies the first rank Box Office when released.
A young …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) movie
Today (30/08/13) I had went to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my best-friend at Hoyts Cinema, NZ. And boy was I glad I had paid $17 of my allowance to watch it! :D
The Movie in my opinion was a great watch. The characters they had to …
The 13th Warrior (1999 movie)
Where do they get these ideas from? An Arab travels to the north countries where he is chosen to accompany 12 Viking warriors on a mission to seek out and destroy a dark evil. Antonio Banderas plays the role of the ill-fated Arab with his long-winded name…I wouldn’t even …
Revenge of the Bridesmaids Movie (2010)
This was a cute little made for tv movie. It is intended for a younger audience if I had to guess. I would say it is appropriate for the ages 8 and up. It has little inappropriate humor, no bad language and only a …
Cast Away (Tom Hanks, 2000)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who usually does a good job, and starring Tom Hanks. Usually Tom does a good job too, but this movie didn’t work for me. I didn’t like it for many reasons, but it wasn’t the actors or the director at fault: it …
World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
Stage Fright movie
One of Alfred Hitchcock’s minor works tells a chilling story about murders, innocently accused men and all of the standard Hitchcock components. The difference between this and North by northwest for instance, is that Mr Hitchcock must have been very uninspired when he did this. Either that or that …
Movie Night of the Howling (1975)
Oh man or man oh man! Is this movie a wild ride through cinematic mayhem, weirdness and excess?

Eat, Pray, Love Movie
Pretty good movie based on a decent book.
I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Julia Roberts isn’t my favorite actor, although I think in the case of Liz Gilbert, she was probably the best choice. I also enjoyed the movie more than I did the …
Firefly
I am an ardent fan of Joss Whedon’s television shows, I have been a fan ever since the start of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and loved every moment of Buffyverse, till the story came to a dramatic conclusion in the Buffy spin-off, Angel.
Disappointed at the thought of not …

Resident Evil: Apocalypse Movie
I really loved the first two Resident Evil movies, and have even picked up the newest special edition DVD versions whenever they come out. I was excited to see this one, but ended up feeling really disappointed.
There is absolutely nothing memorable about this movie. After a few days, …
Batman series: The Dark Knight
What do you know?
It actually lived up to the hype. I was having second thoughts whether or not I should watch this movie but since I was with a friend who wanted to see it, I was forced.
Any boy was I thankful.
The movie started with The Joker robbing the …
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Sometimes, as you get older, movies you liked as a teenager or even as a young adult suddenly start seeming really stupid. I think that might have been the case with the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
The interesting thing about Fast Times is I used to think of …

Under The Tuscan Sun-Diane Lane
I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it at a friend’s house, and liked it enough that I bought the DVD rather than just borrowing it from my friend. I especially liked the imagery of some of the main character’s lines, as well as the idea of just up …
Movie: You’re in the Army Now
Since it was Memorial Day weekend this past weekend I had an opportunity to watch a lot of military movies. One of them was the comedy “You’re in the Army Now.”
This movie, which starred Phil Silvers and Jimmy Durante as a couple of sales people who wind up in …
Rain in the Mountains (2007)
As movies go this is best viewed with plans of lobbing popcorn at the screen from time to time. The plot was shaky and the acting so bad it was amusing. However, it is not entirely without merit for a small subsection of the population living in the Pacific …
Street Kings Movie
I’m not a big fan of action-packed thriller movies. However, when my husband bought this DVD and asked me to watch with him, I was impressed that it kept me engrossed right till the end of the movie. I thought that I’d have lost interest in it half way.
I …

Young at Heart movie
1954’s Young at Heart is one of my favorite movies. Interestly, though, I’ve changed how I liked it from when I was a little girl to how I like it as an adult. I always enjoyed it, but as a child, I wanted the resolution to the …
War of the Worlds
I will be talking about the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. Now the movie is critically acclaimed to be a somewhat terrible movie. Besides one flaw at the very end of the movie, I thought the movie overall was actually brilliant. …
Movie 1408
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I wouldn’t really say it was scary, I would say it was more freaky. I really liked it though. It kept me interested and entertained the whole movie. I wasn’t bored at any part. The actors did a good job and it was …
Ouran
“Ouran High School Host Club” is a charming and cute anime series. Each of the Host Club members [main characters]: Tamaki, Kyouya, Kaoru, Hikaru, Honey, Takeshi and Haruhi are well developed and are portrayed well, both through voice [acting] and animation. The use of roses
throughout the story is …

DarkMan
I think DarkMan is one of the greatest and best super heros ever made. This guy is just awesome and the story about how he became DarkMan is even more amazing. I think the special effects are just great for this movie being made in the year 1990. I had …
The Hot Chick: Funny Movie
I totally am not ever going to forget the “The Hot Chicks” movie by Rob Schneider. This is by far the funniest movie I have watch of Rob’s. I know he is a great actor, and is very versatile but I can never find any other of his role …

Predator 2
It’s rare that I enjoy a sequel more than I enjoy the original and it is even less common when the original is good, but this is an exception. Predator is a movie all about action. There are some smart points and probably some social commentary though I didn’t …

Gag (movie)
After being told several times about how great the movie “Gag” was by a friend who supposedly shares the same tastes in movies that I do, I could not wait to see it for myself. I remember that I even read a few great reviews on it from people …
