I’m not sure what exactly the draw is for me but whenever the movie Pretty Woman is on television, I just have to watch it.

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 …

Weather Man, starring Nicholas Cage, was released in number of years ago and was not highly successful in the box office. Perhaps this was because it was such a “different” kind of movie. It wasn’t quite a comedy, though it had some funny parts, and it wasn’t …

I recently bought The Comin’ Atcha Live 2008 concert Dvd live in Minnesota by The Hard Rock band Tesla and it is one of the best Live DVD’s. Although the band Tesla is underrated and it shows with this smaller club venue, but at least they sold it out …

When I first heard about the movie, Twilight based on the Book by Stephanie Meyer, I really did not know much about it. After it came out on DVD I decided to watch it. At first I loved the movie but found it a bit cheesy. After reading the …

Sure, the plot seems a bit “cookie-cutter” at first; but don’t let that fool you. “House” is a deeply disturbing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Two young couples are stranded in rural Alabama. They find shelter at a nearby bed and breakfast; but what …

It seems there is a penguin frenzy going on at Hollywood lately.Another animated movie was released ,all about penguins.In this one the story is about,check this dudes and chicks:surf.Far out.
The main character is a young penguin with a stupid (may I say stupid?) hair due from Antarctica who,unlike his …

Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …

This is a very fantastic movie starring Katherine Heigl and the ever gorgeous and good looking James Marsden. I think he is really charming and very handsome and dashing. Movie’s about Katherine’s character named Jane and she has all her life dealt with dressing up brides to be …

Female bartenders are the order of the day when you get yourself in gear to sit down and watch this movie. To enjoy it is just like the beverages that are served, it is an acquired taste and with this movie, it is best to watch it multiple times …

Unlikely Angel is a holiday movie from 1996 which stars Dolly Parton as a rather selfish country music performer (aside from the selfish part, not a big stretch … again) who dies suddenly. Being egotistical, Ruby Diamond can’t enter Heaven without doing a good deed first, so it’s …

Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …

I just watched the movie Eclipse and I did really enjoy it. I have seen both of the other movies, and this is the best so far. I believe this is mostly because the budgets have gotten better and the actors have grown. Most of the …

I love it when Catherine Zeta-Jones acts. She is gracing maturely and is truly beautiful no matter what her age is.
In this movie story, she acted alongside Aaron Eckhart and this is a very beautiful story that I suppose would be very popular with loads of chefs …

I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).
They received a gift card for the local movie theater from an aunt as a Christmas present and they were itching to make the trek to our local …

I’ve just watched Juno this morning and I unbelievably liked it. It was good, in a quirk, unconventional way. The lifetime lessons were priceless same as with the laughter. It made a huge impact on me after I’ve watched the movie.
Juno is hilariously immature. It was such a good …

If you have never seen Hot Rod but love comedies, then you have to check this movie out! It has a few of the cast members of Saturday Night Live such as Andy Sandburg and veteran actress Sissy Spacek, who plays his mother, and a motley crew of some of …

I like this movie, not love, like. I watch this movie at the first place because of the casts in it, I mean, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, wow! This is a drama/comedy kind of movie. The plot is kind of interesting, about two women …

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson aren’t really big Hollywood stars that’s why when a friend asked me to go to the movies with her and watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I wasn’t really very excited. I don’t like Matthew that much (his blond looks isn’t …

I remember when I saw the trailer for this movie. I just had to see it. I mean the Simpsons…one of the most popular cartoon shows out there and it’s been around so long it was about time they made a movie.
I got to admit the movie started in …

My review is on the movie August Rush. Now I like movies as much as the next person, and I’m here to tell you that I loved this movie. It stars Kerri Russell and Robin Williams in it. It even has that little boy who plays from the …

This movie was actually pretty good. Most of the main characters managed to capture the essence of the lives they were supposed to play, but some did not. Mos Def played Chuck Berry and did an outstanding job portraying one of the pioneers of what we now know as …

Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.
That wasn’t the case with the movie Awake. That’s because you have a good combination of thriller and mystery.
Hayden Christensen plays a …

I am reviewing the movie, The Land Before Time. This is a timeless classic. It is a story about Little Foot the long neck, Sarah the three horn, Spike the sharp tail, Ducky the swimmer, and Peetry the flier. Each one of these characters is a dinosaur. This …

I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …

Harvey is a delightful motion picture from 1950 that stars James Stewart and Harvey, the invisible rabbit. It’s true. The rabbit gets excellent billing in the movie.
Stewart plays Elwood P. Dowd, who is unusually pleasant about absolutely everything. He’s never in a hurry, and he never …

Sucker Punch was an action fantasy movie about a girl who struggles to get out of a mental institution after she is wrongfully put there by her stepfather after her mother’s death. At times I wondered if she really was going crazy when she would use her fantasies to …

The Iron Giant tells the tale of a boy who befriends a giant robot. The robot is actually a war machine but it does not remember its programming (it got a dent on the head..lol). This movie shows how vindictive some people can be when they can’t have things …

So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …

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. …

I actually enjoyed the opening credits of 1938’s Secrets of an Actress movie, which began by having a woman’s hand unlocking and opening a diary. She turns each page of the diary until the credits reach the end. It was different and unique.
The story itself is one …

Eleven years after the Columbo series left the year, Peter Falk returned to his legendary role in what would be a new resurrection for the character. No longer a part of the Mystery Movie weekly rotation or any regular appearance schedule, this began a string of made for …

I was one of those people who actually thought that the movie Horrible Bosses was funny. Therefore, when I heard that there was going to be a sequel, was looking forward to seeing what they would do with it. However watching it was a different story. While it had a …
