Robocop 3 (1993)
The third installation of the Robocop saga continues with a new character playing Robocop, I guess that the original guy got totally fed up of the whole thing and decided that it was no longer in his best interest to continue playing the cyborg police officer. In this movie, …

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
Green Street Hooligans movie
This film features Eliijah Wood as an american who comes to visit his sister in England. There he meets his somewhat naive nephew, who spends his saturday night fighting. He is a football fan, but more importantly a hooligan who likes fighting more than watching football. His new american …

I am Greek and when we saw the movie advertized for the MY Big Fat Greek Wedding. I had to watch this movie. It was hilarious.

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 …

Creepshow movie
This movie is not unlike the Twilight Zone movie. It’s not one continuous narrative, but five short segments that are bookended with a “backstory”. This involves a boy reading a Creepshow comic before his father throws it out.
We zoom into the comic and see the stories inside …
Back to the Future
I was a teen when I’d first seen Back to the Future, and I was stunned, just like many other viewers, I’m sure. Time travel was not a new movie theme even back then, but I don’t think anyone had done it this way before: sending the character not …
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 …
Sleepy Hollow
Remember this movie, Sleepy Hollow starring Johnny Depp and Cristina Ricci? Yes, the movie rocks so much that I love to keep on watching it. In fact, whenever my favorite horror movie fans buddies come over or I come over to any of their houses for a movie …

Eight Men Out
I am reviewing the movie, Eight Men Out, which was released in 1988. This movie centers on the 1919 fall of American Sports, when the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series. The film centers around Shoeless Joe Jackson, played by DB Sweeny; Eddie Cicotte, played by David Strathairn; …
Movie 2001 Maniacs
I thought this movie was so weird, so gross, and so disturbing. And yet, I couldn’t stop watching it.
In the beginning it’s just creepy. I mean, the town is so weird, anf the people are freakishly happy to see these kids. You pretty much get a bad feeling about …
Underworld rise of the lycan movie
Last month I went to the cinema with my friends. We want to watch the movie Underworld rise of the lycan. Actually I have followed this series from the first Underworld movie until the last series Underworld evolution.
I think this film is a continuation of the series before. …

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003 movie)
In continuation from Desperado, El Mariachi (Antonio Bandaras) has once again lost his love as Carolina (Selma Hayek) is killed. This time the gun fight action is lame and played out as the director has lost his flare and direction. The movie is laced with crappy acting, crappy staging, …
WaterWorld A Kevin Costner Movie: The Cinema Version
My husband and I are big Kevin Costner fans, and so several nights ago we settled in to watch one of our favorite Costner movies: Water World. This movie was actually released in the mid- 90’s but it is still one of his best movie in our opinion. …
Inception movie
Inception is a 2010 movie that I wouldn’t dream to try to explain in a review. It’s just impossible. You can try to simplify it by saying it’s about people extracting information through dreams, but that wouldn’t do the complexity of the plot any justice. It’s …
The Christmas Wish movie
The Christmas Wish is a delightful holiday movie with a very nice cast that includes the marvelous Debbie Reynolds. In the movie, Reynolds’ husband has just died and her son comes home to help with the business. The son is played with care by Neil Patrick Harris.

The funniest movie you’ll ever see. That is how I had this movie advertised to me. I laughed and said no way when I heard this. And after seeing the movie I am ready to admit..I was right. This movie is no where NEAR the …
From Paris With Love (2010) movie
Haven’t seen John Travolta take to the screen in a film that I have liked lately but this one was pretty entertaining. Nothing special just a good old fashion entertainment action film.

Grave of the Fireflies
This “anime” film from Japan by Isao Takahata deals with a lot more realistic theme than those found in the most famous anime creator Miyazaki. Grave of the Fireflies tells the heartbreaking story of some children who survived the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in the 1940s. It is very …
Halloween (2007)
When I think of all the classic horror movies that came out in the late 70s and throughout the 80s and early 90s, the one that always stands out for me is Halloween. For me, Michael Myers is the creepiest killer ever; even worse than Jason or Freddie Krueger.
So, …
Shaolin Soccer movie
I’m not really much of a sports movie fan. I don’t really like “Remember the Titans”. I didn’t even watch “Invincible”. I was never interested in watching “Rudy”. The only sports movie I really really loved was “D2: The Mighty Ducks”. Then along came “Shaolin Soccer”. This comedic masterpiece …

Vehicle 19, movie
The movie Vehicle 19 is a fairly bland, perceptibly low budget movie that offers the usual fast and furious car chases. This time however, most of the activity takes place within a car.
Michael Woods, played by Paul Walker, is visiting Johannesburg, South Africa after being paroled in an …
Mamma Mia! Movie (2008)
I had only watched this movie recently as I thought it was corny, but to my surprise, it turned out to be really great! The movie was comedic and was kind of a musical, I surprised myself by really liking it, it was actually the first time I heard …
The Invasion (PG-13, 2007)
I was all prepared to really hate this movie, or at the very least, dislike it intensely. This is because most of the films of this genre - especially those that are remakes of old classics—tend to be very poorly made. I knew this movie had …
The Beautician and the Beast
This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …

A Little Princess
A Little Princess is a movie made in 1995 that stares Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron and Liam Cunningham. This is a family movie which has an exceptional sweet and sad story. It would be one of the all time best I have seen.
