The Boy in Striped Pajamas
While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The film was absolutely fabulous. I was worried, I won’t lie, that Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) would not have the acting chops to do this movie given that he’s had so little screen time in the past. I was worried that the “please” on top of the …
The Watchmen
I saw the movie “The Watchmen” recently and I really liked it, however I wouldn’t recommend it to parents with children under age 15.
The movie itself was fantastic, the camerawork was wonderful, the actors were great, and the dialog was witty.
However, I have a borderline large issue with the …
Dus (movie), 2005
I watched Dus on TV. It released last year in 2005. This film is directed by Anubhav Sinha. The movie is an action film. The action sequences are good but what is missing in this film is a proper story line. The story line is really stupid. The director, …
Shop Around the Corner (1940)
In 1940 Loew’s, a production company that ceased operation in the mid 1950s released the black and white feature “Shop Around the Corner” in English lasting 99 minutes. For some strange reason the movie was set in Budapest that somehow doesn’t quite work with Jimmy Stewards folksy, mid-western accent. …
Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married”
Tyler Perry’s latest film, “Why did I get Married,” is perhaps his best film yet. This well written and directed drama is both inspiring and hilarious.
The films plot centers around a group of married couples who meet in the mountains of Colorado for a couples …
Movie In her shoes
I have watched the movie ‘In her shoes’. The director is Curtis Hanson. This is the tale of two sisters, whose characteristics are very much different. This is a family-oriented film. The different characters of the two sisters is interesting to watch.
These two sisters are Maggie and Rose. Cameron …
Mary Poppins
Practically perfect in every way. That is how Mary Poppins described herself. She might as well have been talking about Disney’s blockbuster movie. Right up front I’d like to point out that my reasons for loving this movie was the music. The music stood out more for me with …
Herbie Fully Loaded Movie
Herbie Fully Loaded is one of those movies that I probably shouldn’t like, but somehow I really loved it. That doesn’t mean I’ll have the movie sitting out where my friends can see it, but I do love it. When I first heard about the movie I was pretty …
Nothing movie
From 2004, Nothing is about two guys who think the world away to near nothingness. I will say off the top that the opening writing material that is on the screen brings on early chuckles. The writing proclaims that the movie is absolutely true. It’s an …
The Conjuring 2 (2016 Supernatural Horror Movie)
I really like watching supernatural horror movies, and so when I read a number of good reviews about “The Conjuring 2″ I was very eager to see it. This was especially since the prequel had managed to scare me quite a bit. I watched the movie and I found out …

Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …
Bubble Boy
I thought Bubble Boy was a very funny and cool movie. It was very funny yet sad at the same time. I thought the boy who played Bubble Boy did a great job of acting. Everyone else also did a pretty good job of acting in the movie as well. …
Way of War
OK, I’ve always thought Cuba Gooding Jr. was much better in comedies than dramas (with a few exceptions). But, the movie Way of War does more than prove me right about that.
This movie, which casts Gooding as a special operations assassin, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think they …
Back To The Future
I love it, and its as entertaining now as it was when it was made in 1985 Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd excel in this film which sends them back to the past where they get stuck and need to find a way, well - back to …
Movie: Ponyo
Because I have kids, just about everyone who has seen the movie Ponyo has told me it is a film we should watch with the family. So, when it became available on Netflix Instant Watch, I did make an effort to add it to my list and, this past …
300 (2006)
From the vivid imagination of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, comes the movie version of ‘300′. If you have ever read about the Persian invasion, then chances are, you would know of the Spartans and their never say die attitude in battle. In this movie, 300 hardcore, blood thirsty patriot …
Movie Family Stone
I watched this movie on cable about a week ago. I wanted to see it when it first came out and I totally forgot all about it. So when it was on the other night I watched it. It started out really good but toward the middle and the …
Days of Thunder
Days of thunder staring tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman is a classic drama and action movie! it’s the story of Colt Trickle a young man who works his way up the ranks and becomes a professional NASCAR driver with a die hard determination to win!! Along the way he …
The Barbarian Invasions
The Barbarian Invasions is the thrid film from French-Canadian director Denys Arcand. It is in essence a sequel to his first feature, “The Decline Of The American Empire”. “… American Empire” was a highly literate classic from the late eighties concentrating on the lives and loves of a group …
House Bunny
I’m not usually a fan of these comedy/blonde movies…I usually assume they lack substance and are predictable. When I watched House Bunny however, even though it was somewhat predictable, I couldnt help but be entertained.
The movie was basically about a Playboy model who thought she was expelled by …

Skinwalkers
The movie poster of this movie titled “Skinwalkers” doesn’t suggest much, but sure looks horrible enough to attract the horror pro customers like myself, sacrificing other shows to make this one.
I was disappointed really. It was cearly a low budget movie with little plot and less than encouraging fighting …
I, Robot
This movie is about the future, where there are robots. Will Smith is the main character in the movie. I think he does an amazing job in the movie and wouldn’t have been that good if he wasn’t in it. I really enjoyed watching the movie and it kept …
The Cell movie
This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …
Last Holiday movie
Once in a while, an unexpectedly decent movie shows up, and for some reason it is not really noticed. This is yet another such movie. A remake of the 1950 British movie with Alec Guinness, this new, 2006 version stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, a quiet, hard-working woman …
Wrath of the Titans (Movie)
I have been interested in the Greek myths since I was a child so was excited to see this movie, especially as the trailers looked great. Even though they now looked dated I have always loved the classic movie adaptations of these stories with effects by Ray Harryhausen, so …
Top Secret! movie
An american rock star is having a performance in Germany. What he doesn’t know is that the performance is really a cover-up for a political meeting.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs
I adore Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There’s enough ‘people’ drama and ’supernatural’ drama all rolled into one. The comedy makes it easy to watch. You get really involved in the characters. I love the way the product is packaged. I haven’t fully explored the special features options but they …
Prince of Persia (the movie)
I just watch the Prince of Persia movie with my friends in a cinema near my office. Expecting a great movie, especially because prince of persia already well known for the games and they also has a lot of commercial in the television. I feel so sure that this …
Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
Neither a brilliant film in its own right or high scorer in the genre, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie as it is sometimes known, is a passable enough zombie movie that should prove watchable enough at least to any zombie fan. The story …
Psycho movie
From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given. However, Sir Alfred Hitchcock foresaw this problem and infused Psycho (as well as his other pictures) with the more effective element: suspense. We know where, why, and when …

The Cable Guy movie
The Cable Guy stars Matthew Broderick and Jim Carrey as a looney cable guy. This movie has some very funny moments and my boyfriend likes to quote it all the time. The first time I saw it I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end. I thought it was …

Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie

Daddy’s Little Girls
OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.
Personally, I never have been a big …
Gran Torino
I love Clint Eastwood, both as an actor and as a director in recent years. I was excited when I saw previews of Gran Torino, because it looked like classic Clint-a hard, grumpy, and sarcastic man who is mad at the world. I also knew that since he directed …
Monsters Inc. movie
I had a copy of this at home however I didn’t bother watching it at first since I really don’t like the title Monsters Inc. I thought it was one of those boring gruesome monsters stories I often see on television. One time I had nothing to do except …
Alien 3
Perhaps the entry into the franchise that divides opinion more than most; Alien 3 legacy is as evolving as the planning stages that originally promised such an elaborate and original tale.
While dreams of a wooden planet, filled with a cast of devout monks and glorious imagery were never …
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! movie
Congratulations, It’s a Boy! is a movie I recall seeing back when it was released originally in 1971. It starred Bill Bixby as playboy businessman, Johnny Gaines. Bixby did a fine job here, but it was interesting to me when I re-watched it recently that he looked tired …
