13 going 30
“13 going 30″ is one of my favourite movies of the actress, Jennifer Garner. Apart from the fact that the story is a good mix between romance, comedy and fantasy, I feel that this actress together with her on screen partner, Mark Ruffallo make such a great couple.
This movie …

Up in the Air: the movie
I had heard good things about the movie Up in the Air, including that it had been nominated for an Academy award for best picture. Also, I like George Clooney, who starred in the movie. So this was a movie I wanted to see in the theater, …
The Family Man movie
The Family Man is a great drama movie. It stars Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. In this movie Nicolas Cage’s character get’s to see how life would have been if he would have married his girlfriend instead of splitting. I thought this was a great family movie. It’s emotional, …
Columbo: Undercover movie
In Columbo: Undercover, Ed Begley Jr guest stars as Irving Krutch, insurance investigator. We get 5 minutes of him in this offbeat role. He wore me out and he bore me at the same time. I lost interest in his shenanigans in his overdone storytelling. …
BlockBuster Video Online Rental
I don’t watch TV much, but I do love a good movie. I decided to treat myself and sign up for the BlockBuster online service. They promised many perks and it sounded simple and convenient. Their website was straight forward and very user friendly. I was allowed to order …
A Streetcar Named Desire movie

300: Rise of an Empire, movie
My Husband and I liked and own the first 300 movie (called The 300). For those who have never seen it, it tells the tale of the battle of 300 lone Spartan soldiers against a huge army and the powerful Xerxes. We watch the original 300 fairly frequently and …
Cinderella Man
This movie is mainly about boxing; I do not particularly like boxing, but I do like this movie, very much. While bloody fighting scenes still made me cringe, I was completely blown away by the beautiful family relationship of the main character, Jim (a boxer nicknamed Cinderella Man). Jim …

Face Off (1997)
I cannot recall how many times I’ve seen this movie but I don’t mind. I like this anyway. Well, of course I don’t buy the idea that two people could exchange faces considering the differences in their genetic make up and it’s not solved by simple facial …

The Prestige movie
This movie is a must see movie. Michael Caine, Hugh Jackman, and Christian Bale played excellent role in this movie. As you know this movie is about two magicians’ obsession with magics. Unfortunately, I can not tell you the juicy details about this wonderful movie; but I can tell …
Assault on Precinct 13, movie (1976)
As a director, John Carpenter has made it no secret how much Westerns have had an influence on his work. His classic films like Escape from New York and They Live have elements and utilize cliches from the Western genre. While his first film was the comedic …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Junebug (R, 2005) movie
Junebug is the kind of film that I really wanted to like. Centering around the son from a middle class family and his wife, this story unfolds easily and doesn’t really require much thought. I was actually disappointed with how dull this movie was. …
The Changling
When I rented the movie “The Changeling”, I did so because it was directed by Clint Eastwood, and I really enjoy the movies he directs. The subject matter, a mother whose young son disappears, is gut-wrenching, so I didn’t expect a light or enjoyable experience. It was based on …
Land of the Lost
I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.
Well, I watched it this past weekend and it turns out I was right.
This movie just wasn’t that good. Ferrell is supposed to be some sort of genius scientist …
50 First Dates
50 First Dates stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
This classic love story takes place in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii, and aside from this location, it was clearly a clone of the Wedding Singer that also starred these two actors. Aside from this fact, I loved the …
Ida (2013 Foreign Film)
Very rare of me to watch foreign films (films that are not in the English language) so when I do, I always make it sure that I’m going to have a good time with it. Today I choose to watch a 2013 Polish film called “Ida” because first, it won …
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
I must say that I did not completely look forward to the film The Incredible hulk. This is because the first film in the series was pretty awful. There are a lot of things the Hulk can be, but boring is definitely not one of them. So, when …

She’s Out of My League Movie
I finally watched She’s Out of My League last night. I’ve seen the movie trailer and behind the scenes stuff at HBO a couple of months ago and I liked it. It’s one of the romantic comedy movies that you see, have a few laughs and then totally …
Easter Parade movie
Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
Oddly, though, I’m not a huge fan of Easter …
Return from Witch Mountain movie

“Heat,” the first film to feature Robert Di Niro and Al Pacino on the same screen together in a scene was filled with action, suspense, a great caste and a story line that will resonate with anyone looking for a remarkable piece of filmmaking. It’s not enough that two …
United 93 movie
It has been five years since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. For most, the wounds are still raw. I wasn’t sure if people would really be interested or prepared for a film about any of the events that took place that day. I know …

Virtuosity movie
The police creates a new kind of machine, with the qualities of ALL kinds of criminals. This is supposed to be a training tool for the officers, but somehow the machine manages to escape.
Very corny, unlogical and unrealistic film with fine actors like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe wasting …
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 …

Mongolian Death Worm Movie
I took off yesterday afternoon and, since I discovered there isn’t anything good on TV Friday afternoons, I ended up watching a movie I had DVR’d a couple weeks ago; Mongolian Death Worm.
The movie, which in my opinion is pretty much a rip off of the film Tremors, was …
Big Hero 6 - animated movie (2014)
Big Hero 6 is one of the best animated movies I’ve seen in recent times. It’s actually a movie based on the superhero team ‘Big Hero 6′ from a Marvel Comic. From start to finish this movie is hilarious; the simple humour employed is effective. Often the background scenes such …

Gladiator: Anatomy of a Prison Murder (R, 2002)
This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …

The Recruit (2003)

Tyler Perry’s ‘The Family That Preys’ (movie)
I really didn’t know what to expect from this film when I first heard the name of it. Tyler Perry is best known for his comedies such as ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’ and ‘Meet the Browns’. I was really surprised today when I watched his 2008 film …
