We Own the Night movie
This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D
The prequel Star Wars movies are some of the most hated pieces of fiction in the entire universe known to man. Do they deserve that hate? No. I must say, I never hated the prequels as much as everyone else. Keep in mind, this movie originally came out 2 …
Elle (2016 Foreign Film)
I am actually surprised at my film choices this year. I am now definitely heading to the real “film buff” road. Last night I choose to watch yet another foreign film that premiered this year called “Elle”. I wouldn’t have dared to watch this film had been there no buzz …

Enough Movie
This movie features Jennifer Lopez in an action/suspense movie, it was really cool watching her in fighting scenes, I never thought she could do some moves as she’s such a diva, and in this movie Enough, it’s literally her breaking free from her abusive husband who beats her even …
Arbitrage (Movie)
“Arbitrage,” starring Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, is the story of a billionaire’s fall from grace. The title implies that the movie will be about international investment fraud, which sounds interesting, if a bit dry. However, the film pleasantly surprises by delivering an unexpected depth.
For the genre, …
Locked Up (2004)
Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this one even beats being caught with your pants down. This is a case of mistaken identity that caused an innocent man to be incarcerated in a highly securely penitentiary where he is charged for murder. He didn’t …
ROPE-Alfred Hitchcock
Over-hyped, just like some of the Godard or Spielberg movies, this film too is rather carried off by the star-value of the director than the content itself. The very concept that the director has tried to work in the film (it was an experimental venture by his …
Bring It On (2000)
The movie is the story about cheerleaders, giving you a look at their lives and the sport they are involved in, plain and simple, nothing complicated, nothing magnificent, nothing glorified, just plain old cheerleaders doing what they do best. It is a comedy at that, with a nice little …
The Father of the Bride movie
Very often, the old original movie is better than a modernized remake; however, in this case I must say that it is not so. I had watched “The Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin first, for many years having no idea that it was a remake. Then I …
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Terminator 4 had lot of loud noises, cool sound effects and no redeeming quality whatsoever. This movie was one of the worst of 2009. Terminator Salvation, aka Terminator 4 was even more predicable that the third in the series. I am a big fan of Christian Bale, …
Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story (PG13, 2004)
I am a huge fan of true crime stories. Back in 2002, I followed this particular story fairly closely, and thought that something just wasn’t quite right about Scott Peterson and his lack of emotion. This movie, which I think featured on regular television, was …

This movie couldn’t have been any better. I loved it. I think will smith did an amazing job especially with him being the only actor in it. You would think that it would have got boring and lost my interest with only one actor and not a whole lot …

The Day After Tomorrow
This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …
Rent (the movie)
I loved this musical. It was modern, fun, dramatic, realist, sad, and humerous all at once. I cried at certain parts but even the sad parts were incredible. The actors did an amazing job in recreating the play that usually shows on Broadway. Their voice …

When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …
A Guy Thing
“A Guy Thing” is definitely the movie that made the actor, Jason Lee be noticed to the general public. I personally watched him act in another movie “Kissing a Fool” and he was great, however I prefer best his interpretation of Paul Morse in the hilarious comedy “A Guy …

Happy Feet
I feel like a child again, caught in a world of fantasy and make-belief; and everything will turn out all right if I behave myself and try harder.
The starting music sets the pace it is catchy and rocking. I feel affection and compassion for Mumble, the …
The Princess Diaries
“The Princess Diaries” was Anne Hathway passport to success and also opened her way to other interesting and challenging roles such as “The Devil’s Wears Prada” and “Brokeback Mountain”. What I find interesting about this actress in the fact that even though she didn’t work on a huge list of …

Belle (historical drama movie)
