Movies Reviews
Pitch Perfect, movie
This movie was pretty good. I won’t have that much to say about it. Even though it was a well-adjusted movie it wasn’t the best, and improvements could be made to it. This isn’t so much about the movie belonging to a specific genre than it is about music. …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
This trilogy sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean is called At World’s End. I watched it last week with my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend. My sister’s boyfriend and I were having sort of like a heated debate over this trilogy, and I just didn’t get …
Film “the horsemen” (2009)
I loved this film for several reasons. First of all when I watch a horror or suspense movie, there needs to be something scary in the first 20 minutes or it loses me. It can be psychological terror, but there needs to be something to draw …

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, film (2003)

Napoleon Dynamite (2008)
There is a good reason why this movie has turned into success- no doubt about it, it is one funny movie. A word of caution must be brought though- it is the classical example to the kind of movies that you are not supposed to watch by yourself. The …

The Change Up Movie 2011
Very recently I just saw the movie The Change Up. The theme of this movie is literally switching lives and switching bodies. If you have seen the movie the Kid with Tom Hanks or Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, pretty much this is exactly the …
Braveheart
I’ll admit it here only: this movie made me cry. This is not easy for a macho dude like me to admit! Nevertheless, I must say that I was moved by this is story.
Mel Gibson scores a touchdown in this film. It is the story …

Great movie!! I LOVED the first Pirates movie and thought the cast was outstanding and once again, they were great! This story tells us that Captain Jack Sparrow has a debt to pay to Davy Jones (who by the way is pretty gross looking as is the rest of …
Film “Groundhog Day”
The movie Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time because it has a lot to offer. It is a comedy but it does not relay on silly gags or stunts you have seen in other movies. It does have a handful of gags such …
Hitch
I saw Hitch weeks ago for the first time and I loved it! Will Smith, Kevin James and Eva Mendez were great together. It was a different role for Will Smith, but he pulled it off! I have rented that movie 2 more times since seeing it the first …

As you can most likely guess from the title, this is a review of the movie Beowulf & Grendel. This movie is a couple of years old, however I decided to try it out after seeing the absolutely disastrous Beowulf movie which just recently came out in theaters. …

If you believe in angels, you would believe this story. I believe in angels, but don�t really believe …
Josie and the Pussycats movie
I spent a good chunk of my Saturday morning watching movies on some of the movie channels we have a free trial of. One of them was Josie and the Pussycats; a movie I haven’t seen in a while.

Daddy’s Little Girls movie
Daddy’s Little Girls is one of those “feel-good” films starring a predominantly all-black cast.

His fight to remain in his three …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This movie is set in the fifties. The ending is really surprising although the rest of the movie follows along just as you would expect you to. I thought the predictability of the movie was a real drag. It’s like I could have written the script …

The Wolf of Wall Street (movie)
I saw the trailer for the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” a little earlier than most people who I know, and even though I figured from the start that it would gain some amount of attention, it just didn’t interest me enough for me to make future plans …
10,000 B.C.
My wife and I got the move 10,000 B.C. through Netflix and it sat in our house for almost three weeks before we finally had time to watch it. After seeing the movie, I can say I’m glad I didn’t spend the money to see it in the theater.
The …

Blackbeard’s Ghost DVD
Disney is the bible to family movies, and I love just about all of them. One of my favorite live-action Disney films is “Blackbeard’s Ghost” starring Peter Ustinov, Dean Jones, and Suzanne Pleshette.
I actually remember seeing this movie at the drive-in with my parents when I was a …
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …
Up (2009) movie
I went to see this movie early June after hearing wonderful things about it. I had previously watched the Pixar’s other movie WALL-E and loved it, so I had great expectations. I figured Up would also have some kind of global message such respecting the environment in WALL-E; why …
The Hunters (Movie)
was home at lunch today and, since none of my regular shows were on TV, I decided to take the time to watch a movie on the Fox Movie Channel.
I ended up watching the film The Hunters, which was made in 1958 and was supposed to be about a …
Zorro, The Gay Blade
Stories or movies from Old California are dear to my heart, being raised in Southern California through my childhood. I think that if a double-feature were in order, this movie should be coupled with The Three Amigos. The comedy is similar.
The comedic strength in this movie stems from brilliant …
“The Purple Heart” Movie
Although I’m not a militant person for some reason I’m particularly fond of war movies. Naturally I look forward to whatever movie festivals are aired on television for Veterans Day. Although many of the movies are often the standards such as the excellent “The Longest Day,” the engaging “The …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …

The Night They Took Miss Beautiful movie
From 1977, this is a B-movie, if that, that takes beauty pageants and makes a joke out of them. The movie is called The Night They Took Miss Beautiful and stars some very recognizable names, such as Chuck Conners as Mike O’Toole, the head of the airport from …
Film Pretty Woman (1990)
This movie starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts came out in 1990. When it first came out my mom did not want me to see it because she worried it made prostitution look attractive to kids. Now that I am an adult I do agree …
