X Men First Class movie
I have always been an X men fan but after the last set of X men related movies I was just not very excited about this next X men movie. I didn’t think it would be that great but I was wrong. Wow X men first class if what the …
A Simple Twist of Fate
A Simple Twist of Fate is a drama starring Steve Martin. I watched this movie recently on cable and sort of liked it. Though the first half of the movie is a bit boring, the movie picks up the pace in the later half and finally ends on an …

The Ring Two
I am not sure if like the movie “The Ring”, “The Ring Two” was also based on the remake of a Japanese horror film. However, “The Ring Two” was the sequel of the movie “The Ring.” I would have preferred instead if this movie was a prequel to the …

As an adult watching the movie, I also loved it. The movie was funny, …
Twilight
Twilight is truly an amazing book! This is a simple love story written by such a brilliant woman. Bella Swan is the heroine that represents the majority of girls - average, a bit klutzy, awkward and wishing for good times and good weather. Edward is what women …
Bloodsucking Cinema
I have a confession. When it comes to movies I�m a huge pushover for vampire films. It doesn�t matter whether they are a blockbuster hit or some B-rated movie on the bargain rack at the video store, I want to see it.
So, when I was surfing through the movie …
The Hound of the Baskervilles movie (2000)
Over the years, there have been an abundance of The Hound of the Baskervilles movies out there. It’s probably Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most recognized tale which features his classic Sherlock Holmes character. Playing the iconic role in this 2000 TV movie is Matt Frewer, who is …
Charlotte’s Web
The movie “Charlotte’s Web” is one of the cutest movies I can ever remember watching. After seeing it I think that it is something that not just children, but the entire family will enjoy. I loved nearly everything about it. I have never gotten a chance to read the …

Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].

The Resident movie
If you review the list of films in recent years you will notice that more or less everything you see on the screen today is a remake of something that was filmed a few years ago.
There are few films that really discuss a new idea or shed light on …
Oscar (1991)
Who ever knew that Sylvester Stallone could be a comedian, and a pretty good one at that. I have to commend the directors who put together this magnificent cast, they hit the jackpot. A mobster trying to go legit, with a comedic twist, you’ve got to love it. There …
Happy Feet
The movie “Happy feet” was great. I brought it for my granddaughters to watch, but I really enjoyed watching it myself. I like the dancing peniguns and the characters portray in the story line. The
choregraphing for the movie was very creative, the music was enlightening. I like the movie …

The Pajama Game movie
Another really wonderful Doris Day movie is The Pajama Game. She plays Babe, and she’s a dynamic dame in the role, that’s for sure. She works in a factory that makes pajamas. The factory hires a new manager, played by John Raitt. Now there’s a …
Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …
Love in the Afternoon (1957) film by Billy Wilder
Love in the Afternoon is one exceptional romantic story in the Audrey Hepburn filmography. I loved Sabrina, which was the first time Audrey and Billy Wilder had worked together on a film, so I moved on to the next. Firstly, I had the wrong impression upon looking …
Tinker Bell Movie
I’ve been waiting my entire life for this movie to be released! Tinkerbell has always been my absolute favorite.

A Little Princess Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I was just flipping through the channels and found this strange little movie on HBO. I sat and watched the whole movie, just on a whim. It turned out to be a cute little movie. A sad but uplifting story of a …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …
Right at Your Door Movie
Right at Your Door is a thinking person’s movie, meaning that you can’t just kick back and watch the movie while you do the laundry, play with the kids, or give the dog a bath. You could, but I doubt it would have the same effect on you that …
The Pink Panther (2006)
I understand this is just a remake of a movie that was originally produced in 1963 that starred Peter Sellers as the idiotic but kind hearted Inspector Clouseau.
As I see it, this is another one histerically funny movie that has the character combination of Mr. Bean and Johny English …
The Matador
From the title you would think that this movie is Latino, or at least taking place south of the U.S. border. Here the idea of the matador is more of a metaphor, a symbol, that you’ll understand after watching the film. Pierce Brosnan is hilarious in this film. He …
Braveheart
For me, this movie was hard to watch. Brutal battles, blood, gore, and a horrible scene of torture in the end that I couldn’t handle; I just left and returned when it was nearly over. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a 13 century Scottish freedom fighter. After the English …
The Incredible Hulk
Last Sunday my husband and I had a night free. Our little one was visiting with her grandparents. So, we went to see a movie. My husband has been waiting to see The Incredible Hulk. So, that is what we went to see. I …
KL Menjerit (KL Shout)

Head over Heels movie
“Head over Heels” is a cute romantic movie about how a young girl’s life can change from a disasterous moment to even more disasters when she meets the good looking hank that lives in the opposite from her building.
In this movie we see how Amanda (Monica Potter) is head …
Little Man movie
I am not a fan of the Wayans brothers, their juvenile humor is too disgusting for my taste. However, I chose to see the movie Little Man, mostly because I found the idea of a full-grown man playing a midget (with some computer-generated help, of course) rather curious. Well, …
Unknown (movie)
Like many of the movies I’ve watched recently, one of the first places that I heard of the movie “Unknown” was on a movie blog. The plot sounded very promising, so I got the movie and watched it with two people as soon as I had the time. Everyone …

The Rebound movie
This movie stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a mother of two recently separated from her unfaithful husband.

The Emperor’s Club movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Emperor’s Club, which is a movie that is about three years old or so. I am a huge fan of movies that center around professors in an academic setting. I have always had a passion for teaching, but do not think I …
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 …
Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …

Australia (2008, Baz Luhrmann) movie
Not nearly as bad as it looks from the trailers.
I avoided watching this for ages because the trailers made it look awful - cheesy, bloated, frankly as interesting and featureful as the Outback. It had one of those trailers which seems to give away the plot of the entire …
Movie: Deck the Halls
It’s Christmas time again and my wife and I are starting to watch some of our favorite Christmas movies for yet another time this year.
One of the movies happened to come on last night just before bed, Deck the Halls. And, I love this movie so much, I stayed …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
